THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : IJtfESDAY , DECEMBER 21 , 1807. DOLLS FOR THE EXPOSITION Noted Boston Collector Makes a Decidedly Interesting Proposition. MRS , HORTON OFFERS HER COLLECTION tlcprcuptilntlvrwof All Uneen Inclnileil lu the ilill.ll , ToKcther MHi ! 'K' from lll Iient to l.ort i-Nt lit Itnnk. Mrs. Elizabeth n. Horton of Boston , Mass. , Iho woman who has aclilovod notoriety on account of her collodion , of dolls , hao ottered her collection of dolls to the Woman's Hoard of Managers for exhibition at the exposition , The Oolla number 300 end they represent every nationality. They wcro collected by Mr . Horton from all parts of the world and are Instructive as well as amusing , ouowlng , og they do , the national dress an well ns the peculiar characteristics of the nation from ( Which they come. There are Chinese doll nnd Dutch dolls , dolls from the far awaj regions of the frozen north and dollo from the wilds of torrid Africa. Some are garbed in the dicss of the lower clansco of their country and ethers are arrayed In the gorgeous robes of royalty. They are of all Izes nnd conditions , from the rag baby of cur grandmothers to the dainty wax creatures which rejoice- the hearts of the petted child of fortune ot modern times. It Is said , with every appearance of truth , that no such col lection was ever gathered before and the historic value of the group Is considerable. The owner ot this dolls' congress has offered the collection to the Woman's board with the suggestion that It he displayed on the exposition ground and a small admission fco charged , the proceeds to be devoted to some charitable enterprise. The owner saya iho collection has only lately been shown In public , the proceeds being always used for the support of some charitable Institution maintained for children. She proposes to make n ctoirgo of 1300 to cover the cost of packing , transportation , core , etc. , of the dolla. Whether the Woman's board can take hold of this matter 4s the auction which will como before the executive committee of the women at the next meeting , but the Idea Is meeting with great favor In other quarters and It la not unlikely that some of itho charitable Institutions devoted to children may tike the matter up.

Yesterday afternoon was held the first meeting ot the Joint committee appointed bj the Commercial club , the Knights of Ak-Sar- Den , the Woman's club and the Exposition director- , which Is to have In charge tht providing of lodging and cntcrta'mmcnt foi convention delegates and other visitors next year , the securing ot halls tor the conven ttons , and other similar matters. The com anltteo Is proposed to be a sort of bureau ot entertainment , comfort and Informatlpn. The committee organized by the election ot J. II. Uumont of the Commercial club ai president and Mrs. Draper Smith of the Woman's cub ! as secretory. The remainder of the meeting was devoted to a discussion nnd explanation of the proposed Objects and plana of the body. It was the geneml impression that the committee could not assume the burden of seeing that entertainment and lodging and accommodations of other character were pro vided visitors. The suggestion was rather made that the exposition directory ehould create a sort of bureau ot comfort , placing some responsible man at the bead. The- joint committee , made up of representatives of the four bodies now in. It and of other busi ness organizations , should have a directory control of tli'a bureau. According to this pVin the committee would see that the necitf- eiry money was secured and that proper hotel and lodging accommodations wcro erected , nhllo the bureau would see to it that necessary Information regarding accom modations , .conventions , lodgings and othci matters should bo gathered and dispensed , and should directly look after vloltors. Finally , upon motion of Mrs Strawn , n committee , cocalstlng of Mrs. Draper Smith , C. SI. Wllhelm and John R. Utt , was ap pointed to formulate * a plan and present it to the committee at a meeting on January 3. This plan will also go to the vulous bodies for approval. UllHMXCTOX SI Ml'IVY COXTKIIIUTRS.

At the time the contribution was wade It was stipulated that the railway com pany reserved the right to make the amount cither a subscription to stock or a dona tion.

Papers all over the country have commended the scheme as the mcst effective advertisement the state could have to demonstrate to the world that prosperity has actually arrived In the Sun flower state nnd that with "dollar wheat" and good crcpx the Kansas farmer Is the most prosperous Individual In the country. The plan contemplates the gathering up , through the olllcca of the recorders of deeds in the several counties In the state , of all the mortgages whlc.ii may be paid off during the elx months ending some time early In the spring and sending them to Omaha to 1)0 arranged as an exhibit , It Is estimated that enough of these souvenirs would thus bo collected to fill a freight car and would make a most unique and striking exhibit giving the lie to the calamity howlers , of Jin iIII n rry.

Ttie Colorado Exposition commission la get ting ready tor active work and linn sent out on appeal to the county commissioners ot each county asking them to moke sniall ap propriations to assist In making a state ex hibit. At a meeting of the state commission held last week a committee on ways end means uas copolntcd , consisting of J. B. Swan of Loveland , M. Ii. Allison of Grand Junction , II. A. Leo , S. K. Hoover and II. U. Ooodcll of Denver. This committee Imme diately formulated the appial to the county comtnltsloner.i And ask them to assist In raising $30,000 for a stntn exhibit. In case this melUod falls the Colorado Exposition as sociation Is ready to Incorporate At once and begin the work ot making a stata exhibit which will be a credit to the ntato. The people ot the state , and especially those ot the western slope , are thoroughly aroused to the fact that Colorado bos lost much valuable time and that energetic work will tiavc to bo done It the state Is to be represented In any but a small way. A friendly rivalry lias riming no between the fruit raisers In the Grand Junction region cad those ot the Arkansas vnlley and each la preparing to make an exhibit of resources that will eur < pass the other. The Colorado commission hasi recommended o Governor Adams that Edward P. Bishop of Denver bo appointed vice president for the state to EUccced Henry P. Steclo , who re cently resigned , \Vy < iiiilii r Milken it Ilu.itlo. The people of Wyoming are concocting various schcmrs to offset the failure of their c'gWaturc to make an appropriation for state rcorcsentatlon at the exposition. They are unanimous on tl.o preposition that the re sources of the state must bo shown by a creditable exhibit , but the best manner ot procedure to raise the necessary fund8 la forming the subject of discussion. The Cheyenne Sun-Leader Insists that the time 1/3 too short In which to raise the funds by the ordinary methods ot private contribu tion , and that this method Is Inequitable , and it suggests that some ot the moneyed men ot the state advance the necessary mcney with the understanding that It be refunded by the legislature at Its next sessltn. The paper says the sentiment In favor ot an ex hibit Is so strong that the legislature would unquestionably refund the money and the state thUH he saved the odium of not being represented In a manner befitting Its exten sive Interests and resources. XiltO.H Of till- Inventor Sherman , ho of the Umbrella , an nounces that the Iron for the foundation and framework of the gigantic umbrella which Is to amuse the thousands of visitors to the ex position has been prepared and is ready to ship. He says the erection ot the ehcft will bo commenced at once and that he will be In Omaha December 27 to personally superviee the work. The workmen on the exposition ground put In the early hours yesterday morning In shov eling the snow from the roots of those buildIngs - Ings which have not been entirely enclosed. The construction progressed in n satisfactory manner on all the buildings , the temperature - turo being arcrpcable and the snow Interfering but sltghtli with building operations except in cases where the workmen were employed on the roofs. Commissioner J. P. Hymer writes to the Department of Exhibits that the people ot South Dakota are talking very strongly of an extra session of the legislature to make an appropriation for a state exhibit. The people of the Black Hills region feel especially sere as a bond proposition for $3,000 was carried , but the county commissioners re fused to canvces the vote on account of some legal technicality. The practical failure to accomplish anything in the way of a statt exhibit by private enterprise has started a movement for aa extra session , but It is stated that the governor is opposed to the Idea and refuses to iscaic a call. \\'e heard n mechanic say that he would not bo without Salvation Oil.

A SAI.OO.V n ThroitKli ii niii Mill nt Martini mill Ttvoiitlcth. The two young men who have been levy ing a tax unknownj to law upon the saloons of the city , appeared again last night and replenished their resources at the expense of II. I . Hanson , who keeps the Martha saloon at Twntleth nnd Martha streets. The holdup occurred nt 10:45 : o'clock and there wcie four men in the saloon at the time. Thaso were H. P. Hansen , the proprietor , John Anderson , the barkeeper , I'eter Hanson and Charles Eden , city salesman for the Haarman Vinegar company. A game of cards was in progress and Kden , who had Just entered , was looking on , when two slender youths appeared at the door. One stood guard and the other ad vanced toward the group and remarked , "Everybody stand up against the 'wall. " No one supposed that the speaker was sincere until ho presented a long 11-callbcr icn'olver when they obeyed the direction without comment. The , first man searched was the proprietor , who gave up a live-dollar bill. I'eter Hansen was rellevcdi of $1 , Anderson of $1.25 nnd Eden of 10 cents. The bar waa then visited and thoroughlv overhauled About $ C In change was secured , together with a revoher. The robbers appeared not in the least hurried nnd were in the saloon fully ten minutes , estimated by the barkeeper , a pertly man , who states that his arms were numb from their continued elevation. Thcs fellow who conducted thei search even went , back to reassure himself that nothing left. At the request of one of the victims 20 cents was refunded for beer and the robbers left , taking a shot at a dog which endeavored to block their way. The high waymen are described as slender men , neither of them over 22 years old. Their ieces , partly covered by handkerchiefs , were boyish and clean shaven , The noise of a rapidly drhcn sleigh was heard after their departure and they are thought to nave gone to South Omaha. Officer Burr passed thu saloon ten minutes- before the occurrence nnd met a sleigh containing two men under the railroad bridge further north , nothing In their appearance , however , excited his suspicion. The neighborhood was searched and the South Omaha authorities notified , but no arrests have as yet been made. Arnold's Mromo Uelery cures Headaches. We , 253 and iiOe. All druggists.

When It Is stated that a ycai i ago the same factories had on their pay j rolls oaly 107 men , It will be seen that there , are substantial grounds for the assertion that business bos showm a phenomenal Im provement within the last few months. In addition to the three factories thcro are ten or a dozen shops , where one to two men are employed , bringing the total number ot men working on harness and saddlery It tb > city to 245. Most of these men draw goort wages , tholr piy ranging all the way from $10 ta $20 per week , while there are a few skilled siddle makers who draw na high es $25 per week. The average for all the moa would bo $12 to $14 per week. That will perhaps eervo to glvo a better Idea ot the Importance ot the Industry than any other flgurea that could be presented.
