Fair Notes.
Thank goodness it's all over!
After all it wasn't so bad for the
first time trying.
Not single unpleasant incident
happened to mar the pleasure of the
fair.
Lin Fitch's typography concession
attracted a great deal of favorable at
tention.
The Gas Co., handed out many good
things to eat to prove that their gas
ranges cook 'em.
1t took a lot of conversation to ex-
plain to some of the dancers why the
floor could not be waxed.
The telephone booths were we'll pat
ronized. The free phone service was
greatly appreciated by the visitors.
Some people expect whole lot for
ten cents-and put up dollars worth
of kick when they fail to get what they
expect.
o. M. Rudy invites all his friends
to come over and soak up the heat
from that ton of hard coal he earned
during the fair.
If your watch is not correct you can
get the exact time by calling on T..
W. Evans. His new watch regulates
the sun, the moon and the tides.
The piano contest must be closed
speedily. It's up to the union men
who hung back during the fair to
take hold of it and push it to close.
The number of season tickets sold at
the court house just about cores

Rudy.
The Woman's Union Label League
desires to thank the cigar manufacture
ers whose contributions went a long
way towards making the League 3
booth a financial success.
The daily papers gave the fair prom.
inent mention during its progress-at
the rate of so cents an inch and 2j
cents per line. Yet the bulk of the
subscribers to these papers in Lincoln
are workingmen.
Not a single solitary city official
attended the fair so far as known. But
a lot of them will expect to receive
our votes next spring-and probably
will, if precedent is followed instead
OF common union horse sense
If every night had been as good as
the last highland every night should
have been better-the fair would have
cleared upwards of a thousand dol
lars. And that would have been an
excellent starter for labor temple.
Mayor Brown was unable to be pres
ent on the opening night on account
OF most important council meeting
and the next day he was called out
: OF town on business. A personal letter
to the editor explained these things.
The oldfashioned quadrilles were
greatly enjoyed. By the way, what
has become of those pretty old dances
like the polka, the schottische, and the
"vasouvianna?" The abominable two
! step is not to be mentioned in the
same day with them for grace and

There were less than 1900 paid ad
