THE OMATIA DAILY BICE ; THURSDAY , JTEBKUAllY 20 , 1890. v J QUARTER OF A MILLION ASHED Hoped Government Will Appropriate Thin 8nm for Omnlm Exposition. CONFERENCE WITH SENATOR THURSTON Illtri SOIIHiMlcc n tit Him I" l-'urllirr tinI'rojirt Xii S < ; rliitiN OliHlucli- III * KvinTlril. A' the request of a committee of the Ti iiiMnltKlsslpiil and International Exposi tion company , a number of the business men of Omnlm gathered at the Commerclil club roomn yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock to confer with Senator Thurston regarding the brt ine.ins of expediting legislation ncee"nry to promote the success of the expedition. Vice I'rcsldent 0. W. Wattles of the Union National bank presided. Among those present were Senator Thurston , John A. Wakeflcld , Captain II. E. Palmer , L. in Bradley , G. A. Williams , W. R. Ben nett , Kmll Brandies , W. II. Robcrson , Ed- watd Uocewater , Charles Metz , James Welsh , W. W. Marsh , J. II. Evans , W. A. Wyatt , Oeorge W. Kelly , Frank Colpetzer. S. A. Wiley , Z. T. Llndsey , John E. Utt , Dauli-1 Farrell nnd O. W. Towle. Chairman Wattles said that conslderablo progress had been made toward securing the endorsement of the scheme. Among the bed lea that had announced themselves In favor of It were the Nebraska Press asso ciation , the boot sugar convention of Ne braska , the various labor unions of Omaha and the Iowa legislature. He stated that the matter was now before the national leg islature , having been Introduced In both the tonate and the house. He paid that the action of the Transmlsslaslppl congress had started the ball a-rolllng , and that wher ever the plan had been mentioned It met with Instant favor. He said that great advan tages had come to the south through tbo Atlanta exposition. He was sure immigra tion and capital would be attracted to the western states by the exposition proposed. Senator Thurston , who Is chairman of the senate committee having the bill In hand , naltl that he came to the meeting more for the purpose of learning the desire of tliu Omaha people In regard to the exposition than to speak on the matter himself. Ho Eald that he was glad he was chairman of the committee to which the senate bill was referred , since ho would have tha oppor tunity of giving It his personal attention. He thought the disposition of congress waste to clvo the exposition Just about the same amount o ! aid that was given to Atlanta. THE GOVERNMENT'S PART. "You will understand" raid he , "the uov- ernnitnt of the United States Is not In thi exposition bualncra. All It does Is to atlend lo the government cxhlb.t. It provides for the formation of such Exhibits , Its Iransporta- tlon.the employment of officials to look after It and the erection and tna'ntenance of a build ing In which It may be housed. That's all the nlJ that can bo expected. Of course , the Columbian exposition was of national char acter and received more support. " Senator Thurston Bald that what he de sired cspcc'ally to know was the amount of money the- business men thought best to re quest. He said that nn appropriation suf ficient to Insure , success should bensked _ for. but on the ether hand not too much should bt. . asked for , lest tcrlcus crlllclsm of the bill be challenged. He thought that It might be wise to pass the bill through the senate , with the amount of the appropriation left blank. The endorsement of the exposi tion by the senate would have weight w'th I the house. Ijiter the senate would concur with Hie house on any reasonable amount that the latter might suggest. He recom mended securing endorsements from ns manj states as possible and suggie'ed that promt nent men In other western Mates be asked U write to tielr'repVesenlatlve | In congress con- ctrnlng the enterprise. "Thcrp Is a dispo sition all through the country favorable tc anything that , the west may ask for In order ' founded sentiment regarding to help Itself. I've garding It pretty thoroughly , and can safelj say that there will be no serious objectlor encountered. " Z. T. Mndsoy spoke of the trip to Iowa He bald that' the people there were as en thusiastic regarding It as were the Ne- brafltuns. "There Is no question but thai every business man and property owner It th'.s region Is , back of It with all his might. ' WIUj ASK FOR 1250,000. Edward Rosewater rcc m-nendeJ that $250- 000 bo asked for. Ho said that If as mucli aid were secured ns was given Atlanta there would be no doubt that the 'Omaha exposition would bo a much greater success. He de- c'.arcd that the exposition would be the greatest thing for Nebraska since It be came a state. He urged active work all along the line , and especially from now until the passage cf the bill , which must be secured before the adjournment of congress. Ho predicted that the rnorntnt the b'll became a law the value of Omaha property would gc up 25 per cent. Senator Thurston thought that the limit of the appropriation should be fixed at $200- 000. He Eald that there was a great de mand for keeping down the expenses of the government this year , and that It was best to auk for a conservative amount at tlilj time. time.Mr. . Llndsey said that the transmlsslsslppl region was an empire df twenty-four states , and that the Omaha exposition would com pletely outshine trie * exposition of the Cotton States. He thought that Nebraska's repre- serlatlves were- proceeding upon an er roneous assumption when they considered that the exposition nf 1S98 was to be on the level with that held at Atlanta. Ho urged nn appropriation of $500,000. , L. II. Bradley favored a small appropria tion at this time , but wanted the limit of the government's appropriation set at $500- 000. Ho thought that but few present realized the great scope of the exposition. Senalor Thurston said , "This Is the ex- prrlence I've always had. with the gentle- mop of Omaha. They don't like to play , to n small limit. " ' Chairman Wattles said ho favored an ap propriation of $250,000. A vote on the amount of the appropriation to be asked for was almost * u'niinlmoiis In deciding on $250,000. Congress will be askqil td appropriate $50,000 of tills amount ut ul ce.

FUh Commissioner Low May received won yesterday from Superintendent O'llrlen of the stale hatcheries at South Bend that the fish commission car was now almost In readiness for Its first spring Journey am that tli3 car and force of operatives xvoiilt leave South Uend about the first of the month. The car when tilled to Its capacity will carry over 600,000 trout fry. The larger portion of the tinny cargo will bo planted In the smaller t-treanui tributary to the Nlobrar.i and' will be shipped ns far west as Brown and Cherry counties. The Introduction of various . species of trout among the waters of Nebraska has been very successful and In the s-mall t-trcanm In the Intel tor of the t'tate ' they thrive and grow lapldly alongside of the original Inhabi tant , the homely cattish , "Tho greatest trouble we still experience. " continued Mr. May , "In connection will the cultivation of fish In the state Is the Ilsli pirate. You will find htm distribute ! pretty thoroughly all over the state and If hu has nny conscience we have up to the prpjant time failed to detect It. He Is nol confined strictly to the Ignorant class ol people , as many would ouppose , but la fount : frequently among the better class of farm ers , who think It small cffense to transgress the fish laws. If they would ronfino them- oelvca to the set lines we would have small cause to complain , but the ; elnc ID their main Implement of warfare and they fre quently haul up with them hundreds ol undergrown fish , which they cannot use , anil merely throw out on the bank , culling the laiger ones. I/ist year on the Elkhorn , near West Point , some parties used dynamite bombs as an easy method of killing the fish and afterward gathered them as they floated on the tmrfaceof the water. This was nipped In the bud by the arrest of the men and Ihere has been no attempt In this direc tion since. "The main reason why fish poaching Is not suppressed to a larger extent than It Is , Is political. Constables In small country towns arc. pretty well acquainted with the male population and when one of their friends l caught out late at night with a twine in a neighboring creek the offense Is winked at , for he remembers that election time will FOO n come again and that he Is still In the race for office. When we shall b able td appoint a few game wardens In the etato this evil will , 1 think , be to c lareo extent eliminated.

IT IS DISCUSSED AT A BANQUET Mi-mlK-i-i Ti-Mllf.v < o tli < > lie-lie IK Hi colt ril In Dollar * nnil IVtilM anil Viilutilnrliy Tlirlr Hum. At C:30 : last evening fifty Nebraska man ufacturers sat down to a homo Industry Iran- cinct given by the Omaha manufacturer ! ) In the cafe of the Commercial club. While the attendance was hardly ns large as e.xpscted , It was a very fair representation of the men who innlie the "wheels go "round" In Ne braska. If there \\ns nny doubt In the nub ile mind ns to the excellence and vnrlcty of homo products last evening's banquet couh hnvo dU'pcllcd It most effectually. With the passing of cigars President J. C Hnrpham of Lincoln rapped for order am stated that an he was Invited to partnhe o n banquet by the Omaha members or the ManuMcturcrs' and Consumers' association he would ask L. M. lllicem , the vice pros Idcnt , nn Omaha man , to tnko the chnlr Mr. Rheem stated that the gathering was n family powwow Intended to encourage the home Industry movement , arouse more en thuslnsm , and perhaps puggcrt means of fur thcrlng the work to still better advantage. Secretary Holmes briefly reviewed the wcik of the association , calling attention to the fact that the State -Hoard of Purchase nnd Supplies Is alone''buying $100,000 worth of Nebraska made goods annually for the state Institutions , almost every dollar o which formerly went to eastern manufac turers , and all because of the Influence o this association. "The entire cost of sup porting our organization for a year , " sale ths speaker , "Is less than It would cost any single member to foil that amount of goods through his regular traveling men. Almos all the materials used In the construction am furnishing of the new Crelghton theater were bought at hone , and , so far as possible of home manufacturers. The same thing Is true of the Hot-ton store block , and the ns\v federal building , for which home firms SE- cuied the contracts and home manufacturers made the structural Iron , the flreprooflng etc. At least three of the firms having thcso contracts are members of this asso ciation. The new five-story building of the Paxton & Vlerllng Iron Works company Is all Nebraska made. The brick block now being erected at Eighteenth and Rirnam streets Is another example of home Industry and the same thing Is going on all over the state. state.HELPED HELPED DV THE WOMEN. "Less than a year ago we gave a lunch " of Nebraska products to the Woman's "club of this city. Five hundred loyal Nebraska women from that day became staunch friends of Manufacturers' and . .Consumers' as toclatlon and are buying Nebraska goods The president of the domestic science depart ment of the club , Mrs. May M. Piigh , has iccently given a series of lectures on the science of foods In David City nirj In lleatrlce , and In her cooking demonstrations with the- exception of a little salt and gelatin which we do not make- , every article use ; was a product of Nebraska. "Mrs. Stoughtenborough of I'lV.tsinoutl recently delivered a strong1 tpeech In favor of home Industry at a farmers' Institute In Johnson , and your secretary presented the same subject to the great soil culture con vention In Hastings. And so we might go on InJefinltcly telling of the work that Is being ( lone. "In all of these things the Manufacturers nnd Consumers' association has been the moving force , furnishing pointers and ma terials for the sneakers , ann for their dsmon- fctrotions , visiting' state officers and state Institutions , and urging architects , owner and contractors to patronize home manufac tin era and dealers. Merchants in variou : parts of the state are-being visited and urgei to handle , home products , to patronize hem < printers and to Insure themselves and tholi property In home insurance companies. Tin Manufacture's' and Consumers' assoclatloi stands for an Idea and for but one ; it I : 'Nebraska goods for Nebraska people1. ' Am In older to attain the full measure of sue cess In the work we have undertaken , wi must show that we are working for the wholi state and not for one or two partlculai Iccalltles. I would like to see every insmbc-i of this association woiklng for every othei member. Instructing his traveling men to b < crrjstantly on the lookout for opportur'tlei ' : o send business to other Nebraska manil 'ncturers , and advising all his employes am 'rlcnds to buy Nenraska products. It Is te jo hoped that some of the projects pre sented by yotir committee tonight will bs adopted and that from this time on oui wrrk may be carried on with renewed energy and vigor. " DUES VOLUNTARILY RAISED. A committee , composed of Dan Farrell , Jr. , Samuel Recs , C. E. IJlack , J. H. Barrett , R. P. Hodgln , L. M. Rhe.'m and 0. C. Holmes , iresented a report showing the needs of the ifcscclatlon , and suggesting some means of iicrearlng the revenue. It was pointed out hat the Manufacturers' jibsoclallon of Port- and , Ore. , has monthly dues of $2 per month ind voluntary subscriptions of $10 , $25 and .50 each to give it a start , and the banks subscribed $100 to $200 each. The North- vcutern Home Trade association of Minne apolis has a system of graded.dues , In pro- lortlon to the amount of annual ? aUs , which un from $6 to $21 per quarter. The as ; sedation of Nebraska collects dues of only :2 : per month. , , , Several members discussed the many nil * antagea of the lipme Industry movement and desirability of havingthe ' diiqij , largq nough and of having them'paid promptly. Mr. Klopp proposed that the .dues b ? raised o $2.50 , with a 20 per cent reduction for prompt payment. Mr. Ilene said ho had moved his factory rom an Iowa city nnd had cometo Omaha jecauso of the home Industry sentiment. Mr. Peters said that he came here from it. Louis and naturally bought everything n that city until the Manufacturers' asso- latlon wan started , and i'nce that time he lail patronized home. In return he had re- elved a great deal of benefit and would vol- mtarly ! agree to raise his dues this year to 50. 50.Mr. . Farrell said that ha also used to buy n the east , but had given that up , and his juslness had Improved , 'and ' ho would'agres o pay $100 this year to help along the move- lent. , Mr , Hugglns of the American Biscuit com- any said that he had offered to ratye his ubscrlptlon to $ GQ , but would Increase . !

He be- cved that the larger firms should take xtra memberships to swell the dues and ho otild take out another membership. Mr. Ilarrett of the Hanrrmann Vinegar ompany said he would double his tubscrlp- on. on.Mr , Harpham of Lincoln eald he would uke out an additional subscription , The WooJman Linseed Oil company agreed o take out three memberships.

Dempster of Ufa nice EuggesteJ tliat 10 secretary correspond with firms not iresent und glvu them the opportunity of alslng their subscriptions. Secretary Holmes raid that the additional ubfcrlptlons taken would place the usto- lat'on In splendid condition , The secretary was Instructed to call on 10 members of the association In relation o advertising In 100 Nebraska papers , W , 0. Taylor of the Union Life Insurance ompany was called on to discuss the home uurance question , anil pointed out the fact tat Nebratha companies are In a petition o protect their policy holders , having larger ktets In proportion to their liabilities thane o ( the old eastern companies , The law * of the Halo of Nthraskn nrp very ptrlct ml give the policy holders every protec tion. In round number * $1,600,000 goes out tf hc > titc every ymr to pay premiums ( n life Insurance , anil AS a rule this money 1-as to be lonnc-.l out In the eastern states , giving them the Advantage of cheap money. Mr. Harbour of the Omaha Fire Insurance company said that If the money sent out ol the state could be kept at homo It would do much to overcome the hard times. As high OB $1,600,000 lias been sent out of the state In a single year 'for fire lusurnnce pre miums , Mr. Hhcem kept the company In good spirits with his speeches , and 11 o'clock nr- Ihed before any one realized how late It was. The mealing broke tip amid many cx pensions of confltlencs In the Manufacturers' and Consumers' Association of Nebraska , and the work that it Is doing In developing the resources of the state. iio.viii ) ( IK ur.Ai/rii 1-2. A. Tnjlor Ma ilc SniiHiiry IiiNiirrlor Vice Smith Itcslutii-il. A lively limeas anticipated ct the moot ing of the Hoard of Health yesterday af-.cr- iiton , but It did not como. The board beat Its own record and was In session Hsu than ten minutes. It was expected that tliero would b * a complete reorganization of the force employed by the board , but the only thing In this direction was the acceptance of the resignation of the solitary ranltary Inspector , S. U. Smith , a colored man , nnd the appointment of E. A. Taylor to the position , the resignation nnd appointment to take effect March 1. When ths board convened all the members were pieieit except IHnaun. Commissioner Savllle reported that he had M'crlvtd applications for appointment as sani tary Inspsctors from E. A. Taylor , H. H. Adams , Fcd Albrecht and Charles J. John son. son.Savlllo moved to appoint E. A. Taylor as a sanitary Inspector to tnko effect at once , saying that ho had a large amount of work to be done and could keep two men busy. At this point Uenawa's voice was heard from the hallway shouting "I object ! " The nun bers turned tonard the door In surprise. as Ucnawa rushed In , out .of breath , and drrpped into his chair. As soon ns he hud recovered his second wind , he objected to on-ploying two Inspectors , for the reason that the condition of the health fund would not permit It. Christie agrecJ with him and the appoint ment was made to take effect March 1. Mayor Droatch then expressed himself as decidedly In favor of the employment of two Inspectors. Ho Eald the city was too largi for one man and two should be employed for as long a time ns the board thought fit. Dr. Savlllo took his cue promptly and moved to appoint Charles J. Johnson , the appointment to take effect March 1. Christie urged that action be delayed , hut Chairman Broatch thought two men should bo employed at once and get the city In proper shape. "Where are you going to get the money ? " queried IJenawa. "Wo now have $8,100 In the health fund , " replied Mayor IJroatch. "You will need all of that for the removal of dead anlmalf , " said Dcnawa , pointedly. "By the arrangement ) I have made with the garbage contractor , " replied the mayor , "the city will save one-halt the expense It vao cauwd last year for removing dead animals. I think It a very foollbh Idea , anyway , to charge that Item against the health fund. " Chilstlo then raised the point that the or dinances provided that only one sanitary Inspector should be 'employed. Dr. Savlllo quoted the charter to show that the bcar.1 had full power to retulato the number of Its employes , and the mayor caustically Informed < the councilmanlc mem ber : ! of the board that he didn't care what the ordinance said ; It It was In violation of the ptatules of the state he didn't propose to he guided by It. At thin point the chairman announced that ho had an appointment and uggcsted that the board , defer action on appointments until the next meeting. Again the health commissioner recognized hie cue and a motion xo adjourn was prompt ly made by him and carried. AMUSEMENTS. ! cccoeeecceeoceccecccccoGOCi It seems that the- tendency of man ; critics to laud the players that are gone a the expense of the living Is almost as pro nounced as the veteran actors' habit o sighing for the "palmy days. " A case i ] point Is that of the younger Salvlnl's "Ham let. " Among the numerous reviews of hi portrayal , which certainly are almost unanl mous In conceding It to bo one of the mos pcpular of the day , there are perhaps i majority who conclude with an extravagan eulogy of some one of the Hamlets of th past , endeavoring to Illustrate that It Is Ini possible for history to repeat Itself. Woult not their efforts bo of greater service to th < contemporary stage by criticising presen endeavor for what it Is , rathc.r than to moai iver the achievements of those who can nt oi'ger hear them. On tomorrow evening Alexander Salvlnl will appear at Boyd'i theater In an elaborate production of Shakes scare's tragedy , and on Saturday evcnlrif n an approved dramatization of Dumas' ro nance , "Tho Three Guardsmen. " At ! o'clcck this morning the solo of scats wll open for both performances , and Indicatlorii point to a brilliant engagement. Mr. W. M. Wllklson. manager of Mr. Sal vlnl , Is In the city awaiting the arrival o ; its star. The novelty of a steamship turning com pletely over In mldocean and the passen- ; ers still remaining right side up Is cer tainly a very laughable concalt. ' The Byrne brothers , who appear at Boyd'i heater on Sunday , Monday , Tuesday ant iVednesday next , -with matinees- Sunday and Wednesday , at cheap prices , In " 8 Belis , ' were doubtless aware of the humorous na- lire of this feature when they embodied II n their curious spectacular production ol that name. The Byrnes have also retained all the lest features of the old skit. These Include he filp ! scene , the boarding school action and the comical horse and the stage coach lorse-play. As everybody knows , the " brothers arc ; reat acrobats , and as supple as eels. There s a good variety of songs and dances in he new version , wltlupretty music and prct- Icr girls.

January 24 , 1S93 , the council passed i ordinance ordering the wldcn'ng ' of Scve tecnth street between Castellar and Vlnti twenty-two feet.
