MeIIor at Grounds.
Secretary Mollor has removed his head
quarters from the state house TO the fair
grounds and for the last several days has
been personally looking after the installa-
ton OF exhibits. 1t is his opinion that the
fair this year will please more than in any
previous year. The exhibitors are more nu-
merous and there are many who have never
before shown to a Nebraska state
fair crowd. The automobile exhibit and
parade IL new feature which has at
racted many dealers who have heretofore
ignored the fair. The machinery exhibit
has surpassed that of any previous year
while the livestock entries, as has been
noted several times, are more numerous
han in any former year.

IN the Auditorium and many from the city
we're in attendance as were lots of visitors
who had come to the city during the last
several days.
The Commercial club has installed q
bureau of information at the corner of the
postoffice grounds for the benefit OF visi-

Brian Helps Small Towns.
BY strenuous work. State Treasurer Brian
has succeeded in caring for PRACTICAL,
all OF the applicants for the sale OF bonds
TO the state by the various school dis
tricts and cities of Nebraska When money
was plentiful and investments hard to finC
for state funds, the treasurer did a EooC
stroke OF business and bought $4,000 O.
Douglas county court house bonds Shortl,
thereafter the eastern markets frightened
up and the small towns of the state be
gan to issue bonds for internal improve
ments. Then when they applied to tn,
state treasures for funds he could d,
nothing for therasaJld they could not plac
the securities Ia the east. The Dougla
county bonds looked good to eastern buy
ers, SO Mr. Brian took the case up witt
those who had city securities for sale
with the result that he has now, with tn
assistance of the various cities, place,
practically all OF the Douglas county bond
In the east and has bought as an invest
ment for the state the bonds issued b.
the school districts and the small towns
These bonds net the state AZ per cent an
nually and at the same time this rate
lower than the towns would have to pay
we're the bonds floated elsewhere.
Newspapers BacLsIIde.
Should the Rev. Mr.. Batten come bac
to Lincoln and look 'around-he probabl
would go away again. He would see niue
OF his life work Wiped out and the peopl
he had taughtt TO get above things earth
had gone cleat hack down the line -nlmos
into the slime according to his teaching.
