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.
Alter a short discussion concerning the adr
vlfcablllly of having Die government appoint

yesterday from Superintendent O'llrlen of the

fish commission car was now almost In

that tli3 car and force of operatives xvoiilt

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

Introduction of various . species of trout
among the waters of Nebraska has been very
successful and In the s-mall t-trcanm In 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-

cause to complain , but the ; elnc ID their

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

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.

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

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

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

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

prompt payment.
Mr. Ilene said ho had moved his factory

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.

Mr. Harbour of the Omaha Fire Insurance

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

A lively limeas anticipated ct the moot
ing of the Hoard of Health yesterday af-.cr-

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

tary Inspsctors from E. A. Taylor , H. H.
Adams , Fcd Albrecht and Charles J. John

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

that the condition of the health fund would
not permit It.

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.

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

The Byrnes have also retained all the

COURT WITHOUT RIGHT TO INTERFE
T \ lr > InlVn * by fiiiniii'lpnl .lurl

Dc-nlril.
Judge Keysor handed donn n decision yi
te day which Is of great Importance to t
city of Omaha , Involving , as It docs , t
question of the right of the city council
determine the question of benefits to propel
abultlng upon that part of a street rciiu
from the point where the street may
widened.
The case was 'that of Bnltnr. Kramer n
twenty-three other property owners on Sou
Seventeenth street , who appealed to t
courts to restrain the collection of n t
of 20 cents per front foot on their proper )
levied' by the city council ae > benefits , to p
for the property appropriated fcr street pi
poses In widening Seventeenth street , frc
Vlnton to Castcllar street.
January 24 , 1S93 , the council passed i
ordinance ordering the wldcn'ng ' of Scve
tecnth street between Castellar and Vlnti
twenty-two feet. The council tat as
board of equalization In October of the sai
year and levied a tax of $ l. b per front fo
on the property abutting on Seventeen
street from Castellar to Center , a dlstan
of three long blocks. The property of t
plaintiffs Is In Hartman's addition , lyli
north of Center street , and on Ihla a tax
20 cents per front foot was levied. Wrltti
protests against the levying of this tax we
filed with the Board of Equalization and tl
protesls were heard and overruled. Tl
ground of the protests was to the effect th
property three blocks from the point whe
the street was widened was not benefited 1
such widening , and aho that the coum
had no power to levy any tax except upt
property Immediately abutting such Improv
ment.
After the council refused to comply wi
the wishes of the protestants , the courts we
appealed to and a temporary rcrtralnli
order way Issued , enjoining the collecllon
the tax. At the hearing of the case , whit
took place before Judge Keysor , the point i
to the power of the council to levy a t ;
upon property not abutting upon the It
provoinent was abandoned , reliance bell
placed upon Ihc point of benefits.
In handing down his decision yestcrdr
Judge Kcypor held that , so far as this ca
was concerned , the finding of the council wi
conclHsIve. The plaintiffs , he eald , had show
should Inquire In
no reason why the court
the question of benefits as an original prop
sttlon. The council , the court said , h :
acted within Its Jurisdiction and dlscretlo
and unless fraud was shown he should refu :
to disturb the findings of the council. Tl
court thereupon refused to grant the Injun
tlon prayed for. _ _ ,
