closing u resolution passed bythat body at
Its meeting of June 3 , demanding that union

The exposition management received an
application yesterday for space for what
promises to bq a niot unique and attractive
exhibit. The proprietor of Lily Park ,
Smith's Grove , Ky. , writes for space for a
big exhibit of water lilies. Ills Idea Is to
construct an artistically arranged lagoon ,
which will bo literally covered with water
lilies of every known variety , lie Is said
to have the lariat stock and the greatest
variety of those flowers of any horticulturist
on thla hemisphere. Do now has a very
fine exhibit at the Nashville exposition. The
'f * manaieincnt ; Is convinced that the proposed
exhibit would bo a very popular attraction.
The only dllllculty Is th fact that It would
require a considerable time to properly In-
"Btull the exhibit , and It Is somewhat doubtful
whether the lake could bo prepared In time.
Manager Dnico of the Department of Ex
hibits received from the Department of
State at Washington yesterday a letter
( ram Secretary John Sherman , Introducing
J , T. Lowe to all the diplomatic and con-
eular olllclula of the United States aa the
representative of the TransinlesUslppI and
International Exposition for the purpose of

inen'lB. corporations and Individuals. This
s. document will bo of great value to Mr.
Ixjwo , and the exposition management is
" much pleased with the succeed of Congress
s.i" man Mercer In obtaining It.
' The We Pu Go company of Cincinnati has
offered to put Its feed water purifier on all
the boilers an the exposition grounds. This
will prevent sediment In the boilers and will
bo without cost to the exposition , except the
expense of putting It In , which \\lll bo In
considerable. The offei will probably bo

The Improvements In Rlvervlew park which
are now In the contemplation of the Board
of Park Commissioners will add materially
to the attractlveneas of the resort. The main
object of the proposed condemnation of the
street to tbo north el'lo of the park and
Murray thlrtcen-acre tract Just north of the
park is to secure a direct entrance to the
north side and thus avoid the steep grades
which must be climbed In order to reach the
west entrance.
The ground comprised In the1 proposed ad
dition Is very precipitous. While It Is ad
mirably adaptc-1 for park purposes It would
bo fit for nothing else unlit it Is graded. If
this was ilono It would leave the park with
a bank forty feet high on the north side
which would be vtry dangerous and a scrlons i
damage to the park. Thomas Murray Is
nlso cutting the trees off the property and the '
board Is very anxious to secure the ground i
at once In order to save the trees. The
tr ct which It Is proposed to appropriate j
Will afford an easy entrance tram Tenth I

of thcao will be the Improvement In the lake. |
As It Is now , the surface water ami sewage <
comes down and kceiw the otherwise pure j
water In the lake muddy and unattractive , i
If the new ground Is added , the water can I
bo held higher up and nothing but clear
water allcXvod to run Into the lake.
The proposed condemnation Is something
new In Omaha , as It brlngt Into use for the
first time that section of the charter which
provides that the city may condemn and ap-
proprlato land for park purposes and atsefia
thu cost against the property benefited. It Is
not expected that the appraised value of the
land will amount to much over $1,000 In thla
case , but thn tax will probably be contested
In the courts and It will be a couple of years
before the land will be available for park
purposes.
The proposed repairs on the boulevard arc
regarded by the board as being absolutely
nccciwary. The fill Is very deep and the
roadway Is scarcely twenty feet wl.le. There
have been several narrow escapes from serl-
otic , accidents and the board considers It ad
visable to expend what Is necessary to create
a safe roadway before the city acquires a big
damage stilt.
Whlloan definite decision will be reached
In regard to the Idea of bringing the water
from the artesian well to the top of the hill ,
ntil the bltte are received , It Is thought
lat the project Is feasible. The only ques-
on Is whether It can be done for an amount
lat the board will feel at liberty to ex-
end at this time. The artesian well at Jef-
erson square is another Improvement that
111 not be finally determined on until fur-
ler Investigation. The proposed well would
lobably cost about $3,000. The question la
huther there Is a sufllcleut probability of
ccurlng a flow that would make an attract-
vo fountain without a large additional ex-
cndlturc. With a heavy flow of water the
ountaln would not be expensive. But If
nly a small flow should be obtained it is
ontended that It would be necessary to have
moro elaborate and ornamental fountain
vhlch would cost In the neighborhood of $1-
00 additional.

UNION PACIFIC AND SHORT LINE AFFAIRS
Itnllronil Man Xot Conm-etcd Tilth
Hither Iloail i.lvi'H HH | Wmlou
of the War \ < MV IluliiK
How there should ever come to be a split
between the olllclals of the Union Pacific
and Its late ally , the Oregon Short Line , in
the face of the closest relations that were
known to have once existed between them ,
has been a problem that has perplexed many
people , Including some railroad men , ever
since the opening of the Ogden gateway.
Indeed there are those who still Insist that' '
the traffic warfare that Is being waged by
the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific
against the Oregon Short Line and the Itlo
Grande roads Is nothing but a mere bluff ,
and that the actions of the Union J'adllc
and the Short Line are thoroughly under
stood by each other and that they are still In
harmony with each other.
This opinion , however , Is not shared by
thico most conversant with the situation.
Railroad men of other lines do not doubt
but that the strife between the Union Pa
cific and the Short Line ts real. A promi
nent railroad official , not connected with
either roail , who did not wish to be quoted
for fear of Involving his company , said to a
Uee reporter yesterday : "There Is noth
ing strange about this light between the
Short Une and the Union Pacific , If I
should lea'yd the company I am working for
today and go with a rival road , I should
certainly exert all my power to get busl-
nero for the latter road nd not cares much
about the former. That's the case with the
Short Line officials. Mr. Ecclcs , the general
freight agent of tbo Short Line , opened the
Ogden gateway to other lines because he
thought he could make a better showing
wllh hid earnings for the next twelve months
by so doing.
A FEW PREDICTIONS.
"I fear Mr. Eccles will discover his mis
take before the twelve months have expired ,
In the first place , his action will undoubt
edly have the effect of making extremely un
profitable the strip of 244 miles of the * Short
Line between Granger &fld Pocatello. The
Union 1'aclflo will naturally fall to deliver
Its traffic that Is consigned via the Short
Line to that road at Granger. It will take
the business clear through to Ogden , and
turn it ovex to the Short Line there.
"Another trotter , Mr Eccles has evidently
overlooked It Is conceded that the traffic
manager of a road that Is In the hands of
recelvera Is beat prepared to fight. That Is
Mr. Munroe's position. The Union Pacific la
lu the hands of the court , and eo long as Its
earnings amount to more than Its operating
expenses and its taxes , Its traffic managers
have no need to worry. Mr. Kccles Is under
Instructions to make the best showing post-
Ijle 'from tbo time of the separation of the
Oregon Short Line from the Union Pacific.
In order to show how valuable a piece of rail
road property the Short Line U Us purchas
ers want the earnings of the next twelve
months to be swollen as much as possible.
Then when the Union Pacific reorganization
Is ready to take place , tlu-y will insist that
the Short Line be bid In at a big figure , and
back up their demand by a statement show-
Ing earnings for the Short Line during the
time Is waa operated as a separate road. "
THERE ARE TWO CROWDS.
'Aren't the owners of the Short Line prac
tically Identical with the combination that
will probably buy In the Union Pacific at
the foreclosure sale ? " „ '
"No , that's a popular Jdea , but It's a
wrong one. The two crowds have been
working together to accomplish the reor
ganization of the Union Pacific system , but
beyond that their interests llo along differ
ent paths. / '
"As I said be'ore , I think Mr. Eccles'
plan Is to swell the net earnings of the In
dependent road and is acting unur advice
from the new owners. He evidently opines
that by letting In other roads he will force
the Union Pacific to make d higher bid than
a constructive mileage of 3:75 per cent ,
which was the old figure for Short Line
traffic. 1 predict that ho will Jail because Mr.
Munroo is determined to bid DO higher , and
as he doesn't have to make any net earn
ings at all while tbo Union Pacific IB In the
hands of receivers , ho will bid no higher
than a constructive mileage of 1.75 per cent ,
and Just disappoint Mr. Eccleo. "

Local freight circles were ( somewhat stirred
