tFrom a staff correspondent.)


LINCOLN, Sept. 2-CSpecial)-The great
est entertainment at the state fair, outside
Of course of the horses. cattle. hogs and
machinery. Is the Biberattl band. Notwith-
standing he fact the fair board Is charg-
ing 10 cents for seats in the auditorium In
which the concerts are given, hundreds
hear every performance and thousands
stand on the outside and listen to ths
music. There are hundreds Of vacant
sects at every concert. as many object to
paying for a seat under the roof, and there
is much grumblinE about the charge, but
the BOARD believes II is justified. The band
and grand concert company has made a
hit.
The crowds today we're larger than yes
terday and tomorrow breathing room on
the grounds will be at a premium. Omaha
is expected to come down in a body and
most OF Nebraska will also be here TO hear
Coe I. Crawford of South Dakota It is
going to be a political day.
Lancaster Returns Inaccessible.
It is impossible today to give the vote
in Lancaster county. Many Of the clerks
Of election closed their books, sealed tho
votes and failed to keep an abstract and
so until the official returns are opened it
will not be possible to give the figures.
In eleven precincts Berge received, 264;
Shallenberger. 10: and Dahlman, 10s.
Eighteen precincts give the following
vote on railway commissioner on the re-
publican ticket: Aarens. 1856; Abbott, 1877;
Hedlund, 6s, Karr. 146; ar Wahenen, Is;
Wallace, 70; Williams. 1856.
In thirty-four out of fifty-two precincts
In the county fight the following vote was
cast for state senator: Brown, 1885: Burn
ham. 1,424: Dickson, 2SS; Mockett, los;
Shamp, BOZ: friedman. 81; Wettling, 2i5;
Whedon. 1873. Mockett and Brown were
the candidates endorsed by the county
option faction. Robert Pickel seems a sure
winner for denomination as county com
missioner. 1t is probable the county OPP
ton slate for house members will win out.
The Journal-News made a hard fight
against Picket and also in favor of county
option. The opponents Of county option
massed their fight behind Whedon and
Burnham.
