State fair abandoned over Omaha competition hurts livestock premiums
The state fair is abandoned due to losses from competing with the Columbian fair and looming Omaha fair expenses. Officials refuse to grant livestock premiums amounting to $35,000, opting for medals instead, provoking protests from livestock men who may hold a separate fair. Rail rate plans favor revenue over likely attendance, with initial low fare then high discounts, potentially pricing out many from the region. A testimonial then notes Dr King’s New Discovery aiding a Groton woman in recovery from consumption, with free samples and purchase guarantees.
