Yhe action of the Nebraska Exposition com-
mlMlon in * ecurlng 7.480 feet of floor space
ID the pallpry of the Liberal Arts building
for an rihiratlon l exhibit to be made by the
public school * ol Nebraska is tbe source
ot great satisfaction on the part of those
who have taken an active Interest In the
matter. The officers of the Woman's Board
of Jlanai-prn arc especially pleased over the
outcome of the efforts which bare been
rcurtp to secure space ( or the school exhibits.
BE It was apparent from the beginning that
no exhibit could -he made unless space was
provided v ithoii' being P 'd ' 'or by the
schools.
State Supcili. cf Instruction Jack
son has been sp.-in.eil by the Nebraska
commlsfllon to lake lull charge of the ap
portionment of the space and he has been In
consultation with ilrs. Ford , secretary of the
"Woman'B 'Hoard of 'Managers ' , regarding the
general arrangement of tbe exhibits and the
allotment of space. At * the exhibits which
will he inHtip hv thf > Inrcimnlorltv of thB
ecbuols wlH require wall space it Is probable
that the space In the Educational section will
be divided by partitions and the exhibits
grouped in tht-ne. where they may be easily
inspected. Thin will greatly Increase the
amount of nvailable space.
Under the plan as it now stands Superin
tendent Jackson will Instruct each school de
siring to uiakr an exhibit to make applica
tion to him before F brtiary 1. The amount
of available space will be apportioned among
the schools according to the enrollment and
each school will be notified how much space
has been assigned to It. These schools will
thfii be Instructed to send their exhibits to
the school superintendent of their county bj
April 1. and the county EUperiutcnden : vvlli
be instructed' to send these exhibits u > Jo---
rotary Ford at Omaha.
The Woman's board wishes It distinctly un-
drrsttioil that the individual competition in
stituted by tbe board will not Interfere In
the BllphU-st degree with the school exhlbltu.
"Under tbe rules of this competition judgment
\vlll be passed upon the work April lu. All
work winning prizes will be placed In the
collective1exhibit to be Installed bj tht-
Woman's1 board. The work not winning a
prize will be turned over to tbe school to
which the cwnp' tltor belongs and may be
placed in the exhibit made by that school If
BO desired.
It is more than likely that the University
of Nebraska will occupy a large proportion
of the Ffxice In the educational section , us It
( imposes to make an extensive exhibit of the
work of the university. The complete collec
tion of native woods which is In the poBses-
ulon of tbe university museum , the unique
collection of "devil's corkscrews. " those gi
gantic fossils found nowhere In tbe world ex
cept In the elkall district In northwestern
Nebraska , and many valuable specimens from
the university museum will be given space In
this section and will add no little interest to
it. lu addition to these exhibits the univer
sity will also show the work of Its classes la
a manner which the faculty predicts will at
tract the attention of students and inves
tigators.

outside wells Is pelng put on. these portloni
of the 'building being about ready lor tht
staft workers. The roof trusses are being
trained utid the work of raising them to the
top of Uie walls will be commenced next
week.
T.no delayed lumber for the Art building
has been found and It IB reported that It
will bo on the ground early next week. The
piles for this building are belli ; dreised to
the proper height and will be In readiness
to receive the sills by the time the lumbar
arrives. By some mistake which nobody seems
to be flble to explain the piles for this build
ing weie driven such a short distance into
the ground tfaat nearly all of them have to
be cut off between four and five feet and a
great many have to be cut off eight or ten
feet from tbe top. In some cases It has been
found necessary to dig away the earth
from around the pile tor a
depth of two feet and cut off the
pllo ut this point , thus cutting away
ten feet > of sound timber which should have
gone into the ground or should have been
saved by using shorter piles. It was tound
necessary , while driving some of these piles
to reinforce them by driving another pile
along-side the first , and yet both have been
cut off between live and six feet from the
top. Those informed on the subject say
that reinforcement would have 'been un
necessary If the piles had been driven to the
proper height , and that the waste caused
by the cutting < ff of so much of the toiw
could have been avoided by driving them
further or using shorter and cheaper piles
and u better foundation secured.
The piles for this building were driven by
Frank Green , the man who figured In the
Oeraldlne investigation.

A number of small boys , however , Ignored
such small matters and were making the

resolution was not entirely satisfactory to
the members ot the board and a new rto-

which will deDnt > an entirely new system.
Mayor Moores wys that the matter will be
taken up and an effort made to provide some
regulations which will approach as nearly as
poMlblo to an equitable adjustment ot the
question. He bikes the position tbat the evil
cannot be entirely eliminated while the spirit
of Adam remain * In the human race and that
the only question IB how to best regulate
It. Ho is opposed to Icvjlng Iliice
on the Inmates of houses of prosti
tution tor tbe benefit of the school fund.
He enys that with fully 100 additional
BAlootie next year the 'hoard ought to be
able to pet along , and he Is In favor of some
scheme by which the assessments may be
made cot as fines , but for the purprwe of
defraying the expense of a proper regulation
of the system. One ot these exptiiMes should
he the matntcntncc of a hospital to which
these it-omen could be admitted when they
wen sick and another would bt a system of
semi-monthly examinations of all women In
the burnt district. This would be. In his
opinion , an advantage from a sanitary stand
point nnd would nave the unfortunates from

which deliver each time to the customer

ordered the police to remove them.
Any slot machine whlrti does not Involve
the element ot ctinnc-e is a legitimate en

Commissioners ban no more power to order
them removed than It would have to
order a business istubllshment to run with

Any Interfering with such machines would
certainly render the olllcer so doing liable

You will the.refore direct the police to

work of supplying the poor with food was
continued yesterday and the balance of the
big supply of eatables which was collected
for Thanksgiving was distributed among
sixty families. Starting in Monday morning
clothing will be given out to desrving per
sons. In connection with the supply of
clothing , Superintendent Laughland takes ex
ception to the statements of several princi
pals of public schools who are quoted as sny-
Ing that the supply of wearing material con
tributed by their scholars was larger than
the demand. He says the present supply oi
clothing will t.11 bt- given away before thi
end of the coming week and that any school
or charitably Inclined Individual wlio has
cast-off clothing to spare will confer a favo' '
upon tbe Associated Charities by notifying
the secretary.
lu such case a wagon will be sent after the
donation. In speaking of the clothing on
hand. Secretary Laughland says nearly all
of it is de igufd for summer wear and
answers the purpose of winter use very
poorly. He suggests that donations In thlb
line in the future be of heivier material.

Order for ClinitK * * lu Itntr *
with an In tei'Ktnlo ( "oniiiilH-
i.liii ItnliItnltrimdx .Not

The publication of the order of the State
Heard of Transportation ordering the resto
ration of live stok rates based on dollars
per carload , which basis of rates n as the only
one in vogue prior to August 10 , 1897 , created
further excitement among railway men yes
terday. The appearance of the order In tbe
press before tbe railroads received official
notification ot the same occasioned come com
ment , and all tbe railroad men united in de
claring tbat the only advice they had of the
forthcoming order was what they had read
In this morning's newspapers.
In the order. Sunday , December & , is set
as the date for the change from live stock
rates in cents per 100 pounds to dollars per
carload. An official of the llurllngton yes
terday paid regarding this mutter : "As
this order Is announced to become effective
on December C. it Is clearly In violation of
the regulations of the Interstate Commerce
commission. The commission has declared
that at least ten days' notice must be given
a railroad 1 > cfore any change in rates Is
made and ten days' notice given by the rail
roads to the public. Now , counting today ns
one of these days , although we have not yet
received the order , there are but eight full
days bctore the time fixed for the operation
of the order. We have not yet decided what
we shall do about the matter and shall not
until we receive a copy of the order.
"To say the least , the State Hoard of
Transportation has a very funny way of doIng -
Ing things. While Uie hearing on the live
stock rates was In progreas the Burlington
agreed to prepare a comparative table show
ing the rate * Irom all points on our lines in
the state under the old system of dollars per
carload and under the new system of cents
per 11)0 ) pounds. We are now working on that
statement , and ehould hove bad It completed
about December 15. But the State Board of
Transportation does not even wait for that
tablH. but prefers to go oo the scant knowledge -
edge of tbe situation that it has.
BURLINGTON' FB LS IT KEENLY.
"To -Burlmgton the injustice of orderIng -
Ing a restoration of tiie carload rates is more
apparent than to any other railroad company
for the reason that most of our stock care
are thirty-eight feet long , abcut four feet
longer that the stock care of other companies
and at least ten inches wider. Now it ic
cerwinly an unjust discrimination to compel
us to submit to the same carload rates to
vogue on other lines. If the shippers did net
overcrowd the cars in would be a different
matter , but we have a case on now where
a man crowded Mxty-tnur cattle into a car
that was built to accommodate thirty-five , and
has brought suit against us because some cf
them were crowded to death. "
Another prominent railroad official said'
"Railroad men generally feel very indignant
that the State Boird of Transportation should
attempt to dictate the methcd of determining
revenue. It ia no more reasonable for the
board to tell the railroad companies on what
basis they shall compute their rates than it
is 'for them to name the color with which the
depots shall be painted. There is no rational
reason why live stock should not be welched
and the rates determined In cents per 100
poundo , the came as everything else.
Certainly a man who ships a carload of
stock of the highest capacity should be com
pelled to pay more for It than a shipper who
is compelled to use a car carrying a lighter
load. T\'lth the larger cars the shipper gets
more value out of the car. receives more
profit , and the railroad company assumes
greater risk. It is generally conceded that
the change to rate ? in cents per 100 poundt
did not raise the rates. Therefore most
freight traffic men feel like continuing the
rate In cents per 100 pounds even though
rates In dollars per Mr be republishcd by
other lines with which they compete. "
At the Union Pacific headquarters it wat
announced that no official notification of the
order in question had been received , and thai
the company would not decide what etunil It
would take on the matter until the order bad
been received and considered. AB the order
does not go Into effect until December C the
Union Pacific will probably take several doyt
In consideration of the question.
HallTvuy Note * mill 1'ernonnln.
At Union Pacific headquarters it IB said
tbat nothing further regarding the re
organization of tbe company has been re
ceived from New York City or St. Louis
President S. H. H. Clark is expected here
from St. Louis next week , and his coming
is naturally looked upon with more than
ordinary interest.
A number of officials of the Union Pa
cific were gratified yesterday to receive
the products of a clean-up of a gold mine in
Oregon in which they are interested. A
little .bag containing $2,000 worth of th. '
yellow metal wa * received and anothei
package of about the same value is ex
pected within thirty days , when the last
clean-up of the season shall bo made.
Up to nooQ the expected reduction In pas
senger rates between Chicago and Omaha
has not developed. The situation < s still one
of uneasiness. The tome may be said of
freight rates to Colorado common points.
While cio reductions In eltber class of rates
have been made for several days there is not
a feeling that the present rates are sure to
remain in effect for very long.
The Oregon Short Line has Just placed
with the Illinois Steel company the largos.
order for betterments on that line ever given
out. It baa awarded a contract for 15,001)
tons of No. 18 , Bpventy-pound steel rails , to
be delivered to the company during tht-
months of January and February. The rail
road company alno reserves the right to
raise the order to 35,000 tons , and will probably -
a-bly do so. The rails will .be used In renew
ing the track between Pocatello , Idaho , and
Huntlngton , Ore.

until better quarture can bo provided.
Another black , bear has aUo been added to

of the attractions of th& resort next year.
They are securing pairs of each variety of

than possibly face charges of remaining

quarreling with a brother officer. Tne young
man had been employed as a printer , and a
paper which was found in his room told who
be was. It was bended : "Testauieuto , " and
Is ce follows :

On the upper margin of the will , urt > ar-
ently written with a trembling hand , was :
"I am going to death as I sbould go singing

The body was taken to Mullln's morgue
and when tbo truth as to the young mau'a
identity became known many compatriots 111
Newark ( .aid their respects to the deed.
Raphael Capone , one of the man's intimate
friends , has taken charge of his estate and
Is arranging a funeral thought to be fitting
to the suicide's rank lu his native land.
Tiie funeral will take place on Sunday after
noon and Italian civic societies of Newark ,
New York uud other cities will attend.
HISTORY OF DECEASED.
The title of the dead nmrquii is a senator
In the Jtaliau Chamber and the family Is
aald to 'bo one of tbe oldest In the Italian
nobility. He was a tall and finely proportioned
tioned man of aristocratic appearance. He
bad .been educated for Uie Italian naval
service and held a commission us lieutenant
on the Aetna , which took part in the Co
lumbian celebration and naval parade in
New York .bay in 18'J3. While hU vessel re
mained in tbe harbor he made many friends ,
tint only among the United States naval
olllccre , but also among the fashionable folk ,
who received the courtly young nobleman
with open arms.
He found New York society so congenial ,
no the story goes , that on one occasion he
overstayed hat shore leave for so long a
time tbat he wai , afraid to go back on
board his ship , 'believing that he would be
severely disciplined and that his prolonged
absence would ie regarded as desertion.
Rather than face the dlngrace which ht be
lieved would result from Ills absence from
the -ship , the marquis resolved to remain
in this country and become a citizen. A fac
tor lu this determlnatloa was an alterca
tion which be had had with u brother otu
cer and the dread of punishment from
tbat offense as well as for the desertion.
After the chip had left this country he
went to Newark. HU relatlvus in Italy
forgave hU offense and would gladly have
welcomed him to hie ancestral home had
It not been for the fact tbat the naval
authorities would probably call him to ac
count for hU action In leaving the vouel.
Not long ago h ! father sent him a draft
for 13.000 and other renilttsnree had ben
/Wflved by him at regular Interval * . He
