This contract covered the construction of the Mines building and .Mr. Klrkendall stated that It had been drawn by Mr. Geraldlnc of his department. Upon .looking It over the committee discovered that the phrase "Gen eral Superintendent Dion Geraldlne" oc- cured with great frequency. Some of the members of the committee objected to this designation for the reason that Mr. Geral dlne was employed simply as a superintend ent of construction and directions were given to have the contract changed to comport with the facts. It was also discovered by the committee that the contract was so loosely drawn as to give the widest latitude to the superintendent In passing upon material , and number of changes were directed to be made to remove this objectionable feature and make the coontract more explicit. It developed during the discussion that by mistake , all the maps , etc. . Issued froir the Department of Buildings and Ground- boi-e the name of the superintendent of con struction with the title "general supe-ln- tendent. " It was agreed that these little things should be remedied. 1IAXV APPLICATIONS FOIl SPACE. Manufacture * Ilulldliii ; Will Ho Tnxvil to Its Limit. Although It will be more than nine months before the gates of the Transmlssteslppl Ex position will bo thrown open to the public , the capacity of some of the buildings promises to bo taxed to the utmost to give space for the applicants who have already asked for space. This Is especially true of the Manu facturers building. Applications for space epgregatlng more than the total floor space o ! this building have already been filed with the Department of Exhibits and Superintendent Hardt announce * } yesterday that fully one-third of the applications would have to be thrown out. He said the .greatest core would lie exercised In selecting the exhibits which "will be given space , In order that the Manufacturers building may present only such exhibits as are strictly llnstclosa In every respect. The great Influx of applications for space In the Manufacturers building Is not confined alone to domestic manufacturers , but the foreign firms arocoming In. at a rapid rate with applications for largo sections of space. Superintendent Hardt has recommended to the executive committee that a separate building be erected for these foreign exhibits , but no action has yet been taken on his suggestion.

Either Detective Dcmpaoy or Detective Dunn yesterday afternoon accidentally shot George Wagcnseller , an 11-year-old boy who Ilvc.s at 1503 Blnney street. The accident oc curred In the neighborhood1 of 11 o'clock on the bottoms to the north of the Wlnspear triangle. Immediately after the accident the boy was removed to his home and a physician was called. It was found that the bullet had entered his back near the apex of the right lung. It could ? iot be found , but It Is not believed that It entered the lung , as there was no Internal bleeding. The boy Is rest ing easily. At the present time It Is ex pected that ho will soon recover. The two detectives were driving north on Eleventh street ( from Nicholas street to In vestigate a robbery reported .from East Omaha. When they reached a point at which the paved road leads eastward Into East Omaha , they came upon three men , win were preparing to undress and bathe In a ponil of water 'that ' lies west of Eleventh street. The detectives ordered them to drcjo and waited for them to comply wjth the order. While halted here Detective' , Dunn drew out Ills revolver , wth | the remark that he IntdrtAtd' to shoot it off and.vthua c'ean It out. Ho shot five times at some ducks that were' swimming In the pond. Detective Dempsey followed his cxample.--By this time the men who had been Interrupted In their swimming .dressed and the detectives drove on. on.They had gone but a short distance when they were overtaken by a man who told them that they had shot a boy on the other elde ot the pond on Locust street. When the detectives reached the place they found that the boy had been taken home and they fol lowed him there. It seetns that the lad was sitting on the north side of Locust street , fishing Ina pond that lies to the north. He was arising to pull out a fish when something struck him In the back. He thought some ono had poked him In the ribs , but the blow was struck by one of the bullets from the detec- tlvcs' revolvers. The accident was a pe culiar one , as the boy was several blocks from where the detectives were , and ap pears to have been beneath the Locust street bank.

Assistant General Freight Agent Wood of the Union Pacific returned yesterday from Kansan City , where he had been In ! conference with the freight officials of other I i transmissourl lines for several days past. ( As stated In The I ' Bee Friday the Nebraska - braska railroaders succeeded In winning over i the representatives of three prominent I southwestern lines , and In perfecting an I agreement for shipment of live stock on rates per 100 pounds. Mr. Wood states that Kansas City and the state of Kansas have been favored with considerable rain during the past few days. | ! I He says that the only portion of Kansas ' In which the corn was at all damaged by , the extreme heat of a week ago was In the } southern portion of the state , the corn In I I the central and northern parts of the state 1 being In good condition. Ho says the wheat ' of Kansas Is also In good condition , and predicts that the crop there will amount to 50,000,000 bushels. ) II.I : : < JATI : FIIOM MMMASKA.

( lidding , who died lad week nt Savannah , Mo. , was the flr t delegate from the territory of Nebraska to congress. Ho was elected In December , 1S3I , and served Just one year. Little la known of the man hero among the very old sittlern , as ho wnn hardly a resident of the state when elected , and never returned after going to Washington. Dr. Gcortte L. Miller , when asked his recollections of GlddUig , BK'd : "I know very little about tli mon , That was forty-three years ago , and ther * wcro so many Important events following closely upon the campaign In which he was elected that ho has been overall tdowe < 1 In my mem ory. Further , 1 was nt tint tlmo but n young man practicing medicine , nnd gave very little attention to pittl.-n. ! "To the best of my iccollcvtlon Glddlng I came Into this section of the country from one of the southern slates during the- old territorial fight. There were but few ijeo- plo here In those days , nnd we were nil so poor that $1,000 looked like a fortune. For this reason * , probably , llioro was always n ; contest for the position of delegate , as It was supposed that the man In Hint position was the hccis of the territory. "Few people as we had then there was yet a bitter light between the North Plntto and South Platte sections of the territory for the selection of the delegate , nnd thla culminated In a meeting of the factions tlmt year at Nebraska City and Omaha Whether the conventions ever got together , or how Glddlng was nominated. I do not lyiow. All I recollect now Is that word was brought to Onmhn that Glddlug hod been nominated and It struck the people hero as being very funny. Ho was one of these quiet , phrowd fellows , who set out to get that nomination and succeeded. Few people hero knew him , and that la what made his nomination seem nil the more surprising. "Well , he was elected. ( The record shows that he receded 377 votes against 2Cfi for his leading opponent. ) He went to Wash ington and never returned to the elate. He did nothing of any Importance , and llt- tlo was heard of him afterward. That Is all I know about him. Ho was not really a resident of the state and was a creature of the peculiar political conditions existing here at that time. " Kxoiirxloit to Yellowntoiic Park.
