Chicago. Sept. 29.+Fenry C. Oster-
mann, former president of the Oster-
mann Manufacturing company. who is
said to have been big factor in the
Illinois Central railroad car repair
frauds, related a sensational story of
the inside workings of his concern be-

Charles L. Ewing and John NJ Tay-
lor, former Illinois Control officials

The testimony involved not only the
names of the three men now on trial,
but extended to a dozen others who
occupied positions of trust with the
railroad company during the time that
the car repair frauds were said to have.
been executed.
The late Ira G. Rawn former presi-
dent of the Monon railroad, who was

as to Rawn, said Ostermann, a fixed
monthly sum was paid certain officials

PUSHING STATE FAIR.
Secretary Cook Tells Nebraskans
Work Had Big Results.

Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 29.-"we are
patterning our state fair in Kansas
after Nebraska's and in time we
nope to make it as big" said Harry
L. Cook, secretary of the Kansas state
falr when in Lincoln for a short visit
with his family. Mr.. Cook, who for
merly was deputy state auditor of Ne
braska and for eight years connected
with the management of the Nebraska
exposition, was enthusiastic over the
success of the Kansas institution in
the hrSt year of his management. He
said that his experience while con-
nected with the management of the
Nebraska fair was of great value in
helping him to make a good showing
at Topeka.
Kansas is a great agricultural state
and should have a fair equal to any,"
said Mr.. Cook. "but in the past it was
not run on businesslike methods, en-
terprise was lacking and as a result it
mad run down to something not much
more than country fair and some
horse racing. 1t was just about where
the Nebraska fair was nine years ago.
The board of managers last spring
took steps to put it on its feet. When
I went there in the early summer,
found general desire to make the
fair big thing and was given a free
hand in working to that purpose. The
people of Topeka raised 100000 in
stock subscriptions. and with this sum
improvements were made which add
ed materially to the prestige of the
fair and helped to draw a largely in
creased attendance.
1T cost $4,000 to hold the fair,
pay premiums, race purses and other
expenses. This sum was met out of
the receipts and enough was left over
to declare per cent dividend on
the stock Those who put their mon
ey into the enterprise are entirely sat
ished, and everybody is pulling for
one twice as big in 1911. Nearly all
the exhibitors say they will come back
with a good deal more stuff than they
had this fall.
Il am indebted to the Nebraska
management for assistance in getting
some of the best exhibits shown here
forwarded to Topeka, and in other
ways. incidentally, I want to say
that while I like Topeka and consider
it a first class. enterprising city I
have not yet discovered any place to
live in better than Lincoln
