Dispatches In the newspapers from the Carious capitals of tlio transmlnilsulppl states Indicate that the governors of these sMtca nro Uk'nt ; up the request of Governor Hoi- tomb that each state contribute one course of stone for the Arch of States , which Is to form the main entrance to the exposition nrounds , The desire of the exposition man agement Is to make this arch a permanent structure , which phall remain for all time as a memorial of the exposition and a monument typical of the transmlaslsslppl states , located at the gateway of the vast region lying tow < ird the setting sun. At the request of the cxocutlvo committee of the exposition Govorsor llolcomb has requested each state and territory In the transmlsslrtslppl region , through Its chief cxccutlvo , to furnish a smull quantity of building stone , sufficient tor one courss , to form a part of this arch. The design , for this arch shows a handsome nnd Imposing structure of pleasing proper tions. It Is downed to spin the Twentieth Btruet boulevard at the main entrance of the exposition grounds , The arch Is to be about seventy feet la width an * about ninety feet In height , A high arched passageway will nttord ample room for entrance of the crowds which will throng the grounds and will af ford plenty of spice for the passage of - vcnicies aitor ino arcn SIMM nayu i > enuimi- Its function as an exposition gateway and become a monument of western progrww. The striking feature of the arch will bo the decoration of the frieze and It Is this which gives the arch Us name of Arch of the States. The frieze will be finished la Moorish design with n number of superimposed archer. In each of the niches thus afforded will bo placed a seal of one of the transmls- ftlselppl states or territories , the seals or coats-of-arms being executed In the proper colors. Above the cornice Is shown , a large coat-of arms of ttu * United States , sur mounted by an Immense wglo holding In Its tulens the ollvo brunch and bunch of arrows. HHQ'JIHKO OF TUB STATES. The letter sent by Governor Ilolcomb to the governor of each transnrlsslsslppl state asks the atnto to furnish S'MIO sulllcicnt for ono course In tills arch , and requests that Dimples of the building stone quarried Ic each stale bo sent to the archltccts-ln-chlef ofthe exposltlou that they may Indicate which variety was most acceptable hi order that the harmony of color might be pre served.Vlillo sufficient time haa mot elapsed Tor replies to bo received. It Is evident from articles appearing In the newspapers pub lished at tiie state capitals and from tele graphic dispatches from those points that the governors are taking an active 'Interest la the miiittcr. Several of them have requested the wtcno quarries In their states to at cmce submit samples of stone to them for trans mission to Omaha as requested and It la probable that favorable responses to the re quest cf the governor will soon be received. . Manager Iloacwa'tcr ' of the Department of 1'ubllclty urn ! Promotion has been especially actlvo In urging this means of securing a permanent memento of the exposition unit appeared before the Nebraska Exposition commission to urge that body to supply I'ae foundation and first course of the Arch of St-itc.3 on which the other states might crcc : the balance of ( ha structure. "Thuro la a great variety of building stone quarried In many of the transmlsslsslppl Btates. " said Mr. Rosewater , In discussing this matter , "and there are few of them which do not produce any stone. Some of them have a dozen or more different kinds , and It would bo an easy matter to select vari eties which will harmonize In color and inako a structure which will bo pleasing to the oyi1. iA very Binall quantity of stone will bu required from each state so that the task of supplying the stone will not bo a burden on any of them , nnd the exposition management will supply all the finishing touches , besides doing the work of constructing the arch. "My Idea would be to ninko this nrch a memorial arch In every eenae. The courses of Rtonn and the coats-of-arms will accom plish this to a considerable degree , but I shall advocate the placing of stone tablets on either aide of the archway and cutting Into thcso the names of the governor , state olllcera and exposition commission of each state , thereby making It n lasting monument of the transmisslsslppl region and of the year of the great exposition of the magnificent re sources of that section.

Superintendent Pcarso Is continually re ceiving letters from prominent educators which endorse the plan of holding a Trans- inlsslaslppl Educational congress In connec tion with the exposition. Out of twenty-five communications received up to date only two are opposed to the enterprise. Two more give It a cautious approval , and the remainder are enthusiastic In their expressions of approval and co-operation. This result Is regarded as the most encouraging that could possibly be expected , and Indicates that the loading educators caters of the country can be depended on to glvo their nctlvu support to the enterprise , Asldo from Individual opinions , the leadIng - Ing educational organizations of the west are also getting Into line. The Nebraska State Teachers' association gave the scheme all possible Impetus nt Its meeting , held at Lin coln last week , and Superintendent I'earso lias received copies of similar resolutions which Imvo been adopted by the state asso ciations of Minnesota , Iowa and Kansas. Thcso are the thrco most powerful state asso ciations of the west , and there Is little ques tion of securing the co-operation of the other transmlsslsalppl states. SunlitriiHlilimr the Onrnlvnl.

IIiiiiHton UIIA u Ilci'r Toxatw have coparcntly become thoroughly convinced that the coming expedition In this city will bo a blR thing. N'o other con clusion can tnj reached from the fact that the city of Iloustcn a few days ago came to ths conclusion that Vlca President Johnson from Texas wquld have enough to do to see that the rest of the slate U prcoerly repre- scoted and therefore secured a vice pres ident ot Its own. The matter was consldeied at a meeting held under the auspices ot the Houston Bus iness league , at which Vice President John son was present. Aftei the matter had been talked over Hen A. rtlesner of Houston was elected district vice president for the First senatorial district ot Texas , In which Houston la located. The election was at once confirmed by Vice President Johnson. The Interest In the exposition which Is now pre\alent lu Texas was chiefly aroused through the recent visit of the Heal Estate exchange to Houston. Galveston and other cities in that and neighboring states. Slicmvoiiil Accepts. William H. Sherwood , the pianist and com poser , has accepted the position tendered him en the committee , ot which Homer Moore is chairman , for the organisation of a National Congress of Musicians to be held In this city during the progress of the exposition. Mr. Sherwood Is a resident of Chicago and will represent the Interests ot that city and vicinity In formulating picas for the- congress and In their fulfillment next summer. Mr. Sftcrwood gave a ceiltal In this city a few weekn ago c < nd was accorded an enthusiastic reception. t j , > < > ovcrunr .IVoleoU'H Interest. Governor Roger Wolcott of ilassachusetts writes to President Wattles In reply to a letter requesting him to appoint a Massa chusetts commisslco. to sec that the state Is represented at the exposition. Ho says ho has no power to appoint commissioners without special authority from the legisla ture , but Gays It Is his Intention to call the attention oC the legislature to the matter at Its approaching session and request It to take action In the matter. AMUSEMENTS. A very acceptable company opcncl a short ftnrm n-nmnrrt 1 * f nlt hfit ll/ivil'js In "Tho Trts _ oner ot Zenda. " Sir. 'Edward Rose's dama- tlzatlon of IViu'flcny Hope's stirring romance has been seen la Omaha before and , neither book nor play calls for extended revlow at this time. The company will average with that whUih. presented , the pleco last year , In scmo respects being better. In others not so good. Howard Gould Is still the Rassendyll and makes , us before , an excellent Impression for manlliica ] and sincerity. He has not rid himself , however , ot 4-ae tendency to Intro duce farce comedy methods Into the manage ment ot 'tha ' coronation scene at Strctaiii. Ho should remember that a man \\l\o Is in imminent and deadly pc < rll l.s not likely to wick and grin at his confederates at crucial moments and that a student of a German university iu neb opt to stumble grotesquely over the pronunciation of German proper names , Such expedients get a laugh from the easily amused , but they cannot fall , In view of fiio general goodness of iMr. Gould's performance , to make the judicious grieve. Ho < well deserved , however , the half dozen recalls ho got after -the third act last night , Colonel Sapt ID iflncly played this season by tbat rlpo old actor , R. 'F. McClannln , and Vaughan Olaaor , despite a certain lack of re- POEO , realizes fairly well the part cf Fritz. &l\fs \ Campbell's Flavia U agreoiblo lo the eye and Blhel Strickland , who Is Lie young est ot three talented staters all familiar to Omaha audiences , makes good use Lf her op portunity lu the prologue.

All the action , however , takcvj place In tbo city of Richmond , and tbo time for It la during a slego of tbit place by the union forces. So far as clawing lubcrc and rattling musketry are concerned , thcrs IB no real war In the play.

At 2 o'clock , when the ilcors to the house wore opened , the sidewalk adjacent to the entrance was packei with women , crowdIng - Ing and otbowlng one another to gain some point of supposed vantage. They eatno from all scct'ons of the town and represented every walk of life , but all wcro animated by nnn < 1nalr < vtn IrnrM Vinttr f M , hn * Vinnll 11 Fl Mme. Yale , the most celebrated woman of modern times , the -woman who Is recognized among women as their best friend And ad viser , had given notlco that she would de liver ono of her "beauty lectures" to the women of Omaha jestcrday afternoon , and It was to hear her acll the secret of her perennial beauty and see for themselves that the system , she extols will produce the result she claims that the women fllfld every scat In the house and listened most Intently tu every word that fell from her lips. Promptly at the hour announced for the curtain to rise the opening strains oC a lively quickstep announced that the performance was about to begin and every woman In the house waited with bated breath for the madam to appear. Those who had opera glasses leveled them at the stage and a chorus of suppressed "ohs ! " an * "ahs ! " swept from pit to dorao as a shadow fell across thn open Uocrway at the rear or tne stage and the lecturer appeared. Tha women saw \voman of about the average height , apparently about 27 years of ago , with golden hair hanging In graceful waves about the side of her shapely head and forming a knot which rested at the back of n neck as whlto and round as a column of alabaster. A white satin gown , cut decollete , and fastened with a girdle of silver uiuer the arms , revealed a form moulded on the model of the famous flguro of Venus. Wltli a step as light and graceful as a fawn she descended the stage till near the 'footlights and commenced her lecture without ceremony. She spoke ) la a rather low , well modulated tone which was plainly heard In every part of the houeo. Krcm first to laat ner talk was an M.poal to the common sense of her hearers. Tacre were very few references to the remedies which the lecturer bis formulated for the re lief of suffering womankind , experimenting on herself to discover their effect , and giving her sex the result of her Investigations Into thu secret of beauty. The theme of her talk was the declaration that It rested In fao power of every woman to bo beautiful and the key to success was declared to be correct living and the exercise of patience end per advised to devote severance. The women were vote as much time as possible to the study of their bodies cad the method of keeping them In a healthy condition by gentle ex ercise. The lecturer asserted that It. this ad vice was followed nothing within reason Is Mme. Yale sMd she had experienced years ot lll-iiealth and had tried all kinds of surgical and medical treatment with no uene- fit acid had at last been driven to take iv the matter for herself. She said she had evolved a method iby which any woman could retain her youth or regain It If she so desired. She said that If she herself , "a woman of 45 or 4G years ot age , " could make herself look like eho 'did when she wzs a girl , there was no reason why any other woman could not do the same thini ; , and she eald she would undertake 'to cure any woman of her ailments and restore her ap- pcurancu If the pitleiit would follow the In structions given her. SIMPLE RTJLB3 FOR LIVIXG. The speaker then gave her hearers a few simple rules of living , which , she .said would , ot themselves , maku a great change If fol lowed. Stic advised the plentiful use of water as a drink and the eating ot nutritious foods. IVbovo all other things , the speaker advised against the wearing of corsets. She spoke at scmo length upcu the evil results which fol low the use of this Instrument ot tenure and advised all of her hearers to reject Its us * . One section of the le.oturi > was devoted to the face and Mme. Yale declared , that "there " Is no necessity fcr sunken checks or for wrinkles In the face. She said time and perseverance - severance In the USD ot a proper system ot manipulating the facial muscles would , remove - move all such defects. Above all things she cautioned the women not to worry , but to do the best they could and rely upon a higher Power to bring all about In duo time ; Aftnr trnatlnET somnwhnt. in rlpfnll nT thn many troubles to which women are sup posed to be peculiarly liable the speaker an nounced that she would show her audience aomo of the exercises she used to keep the various muscles of the body In proper trim and to overcome these aliments. She retired and returned In a few moments attired' ' in a short Homari tuulc of white and silver and wearing lavender tights. As she stepped to the trout ot the stage her graceful walk brought Into prominence the shapely contour o a perfect femaleform. - . There- was no restraint , but every muscle showed Its proper development and the carriage was light and graceful to a degree. The madam then showed her audience a number of gracaful movements of the body and limbs , bringing Into even greater prom inence the perfect curves and beautiful sym metry of a flguro such as any woman might well envy. Suppressed commendations of ad miration were hoard on all s-ldes as the evolutions lutions were performed and applause was fre quent snd hearty. This section of the lec ture ended with a spirited lesson In walking In which the'lecturer - cave amusing Illus trations of Improper methods of walking and showed the advantages of the correct method. Retiring again , the speaker next appeared In an ovsnlng gown ot red Bilk trlnvmed with white satin and having a front of White and gold. Kor a few moments the madam spoke of the bjnoftts of massage for the face to prevent cr remove wrinkles and hollonn , advising gcntlo manipulation of the facial muscles with the tips ot the fingers. In closing she advised her hearers to bo patient and not to expect to accomplish wonderful results In a few days or weeks , or even months , Ikiforo dlaniUitiiiK the audience the lec turer announced that she would deliver another lecture to the women at the Crclsh- ton this afternoon nnd would return again In the sprlug for the sanio purpose.

Hawllns Is employed by a nelghborliiK farmer and claims 'that ho shot In self- dcfecfie. The young men had both spent the day In the city and had been drinking.

Rawllns * ac count Is that he. wcs standing at the bar when the Injured man entered with hla brother and another man. Ho says there had been Ill-feeling ; between them for some time , and that the Williams brothers wcro partlcularly Incensed because ho had re cently caused their arrest on the charge of stealing his harness. As soon as the Williams boys saw him , Rawllns eays , they approached Him. In a hostile manner and cursed him tor causing tueir arrcei. uuwmia iruvuicu around n billiard table and warned thorn to keep away. He says that John Williams was the more aggressive and seized him by the shoulder In splto of the warning , telling hint to shoot If ho dared. The other man ad vanced also and Hawllns drew hla revolver and fired. The ball entered Williams' upper Up and lodged somewhere In the roof ot the mouth where It has not been located. Ono of the men In the saloon ran out nnd told Officer Klssano that a man had been chot. Rawllns gave himself up to the officer and admitted that he had fired the shot. He was charged with shooting with Intent to kill. kill.Rawllns' Rawllns' story Is verified by Ray Denning , an employe ot the saloon , who aaya that Williams had grasped Rawllns by the collar and that the latter had warned htm to keep a way. Williams refused to inako a statement , but h's ' friends say ho haa been the victim of a pcrclstent persecution They bcllevo that the reason for this Is that Williams married , under rather romantic circum- Biar.l'ttt u 1UW II1UHUI3 ,4l O UKaillSi. mo Will of I'eter Root , the glfi's father. Root Is n farmer living near 'Klorcnco and Rawllns Is In his employ. Thee young couple were obliged to contract tholn marriage by stealth and slnco then It -assorted - that Root's hired man 1ms been commissioned to get the youiifj husband Into all possible ocrapes. Williams' friends think that the arrest far the theft of the harness was merely to glvo Williams annoyancoj and they bcllevo the Isnt attack was Intended to complete tlio work. Tlio wound Is .not thought to he dan gerous. The prellmln ry..hearing of the case will occur this morning. Illi'liuriU-.MuttlNon. HERMAN. Nub. . Jan..3. ( Special J AV.

At the rooms ot the Young ' \Vomens' Christian association last night there was a very merry gathering of about 150 motnburti and guests to take part In nn "athletic" entertainment. W-htlo the affair Is not not able for any great achievement of xtrenglh , endurance or agility , It was for the quan tity and quality ot entertainment. Several different ort of fun was utfordcd and eagerly joined In by the young1 women un * their guests , who entered Into the spirit of the affnlr. The formnl jiart of the pro gram consisted In dumbell nnd barbell drills , marching and some fancy and comic evolutions by the classes. The Infonrml part was ns delightfully Informal as anything thing- could be where all were out for a gooitIT time. MILITARY AFFAIRS. The secretary of war has , at the suggestion of the quartermaster general of the army , decided to adopt drab as the color of all can vas clothing and material used In the army. TMs change In color will apply to tents , leggins worn by enlisted men , all canvas clothing ami equipage and will correspond with the blanket bag issued by the ordnance department. The adoption of this color Is a radical and Important departure nnd was made only affer thorough tests. Prior to the adoption of the drab tent the quarter master general received reports from forty ofDcers In the Department of the East. Nearly all of the reports were- favorable , the only objections advanced being from officers who bt'llevo ' the color of the tentage excludes the light. It was represented that on dark days , when the tent is closed , that It Is diffi cult to read or write In the Interior. In order to Investigate this point a drab tent was erected at the quartermaster's depot In 1'hll- adclphla and a number of trials made on dark days. Some of the officers who reported ou the new color tent proposed oven a darker sh ail u than thu one adopted. This change In the color of the canvas equipage and clothing .will require the dying of a largo quantity of cotton duck and tent- age to the new color. The cotton duck to bo dyed Includes 34,000 yards of twelve ounce and 24,000 yarda of eight ounce material. Almnt KR.nnn HhMtnr tout halvtw will nlsii . i be dyed. All this work will bo done by cou- I tract. A drab colored tent cannot , It Is claimed , ! -when placed In ordinary surroundings bo I seen for any great distance. This was one ! of the principal arguments used in present ing the case to the secretary of war. A now and Ingenious collar attachment i has been adopted by the quartermaster general - | oral of the army to bo worn on the drcos coats of enlisted men. Kor some time a i groit dual of dlfllculty has been experienced i lu afllxlng the stiff , thick llucn collars to the coat collar. This has usually been dcno by the dextrous and uncertain uao of pins , resulting In an adjustment which was cum- 1 borsome and unsatisfactory. Captain W. I' . Spurgin , the well known treasurer at the West Point Military academy has Invented a simple device which Is attached to the I coat collars which holds the linen collar lirinlnt tlui desired height. The cadets at j West Point have been using the devlco for 1 some tltno and have found It so sutlsfac- ' lory that It will hereafter bo 'used on all enlisted men'B coats. Iii connection with coats , collars , etc. . It Is stated that the quartermnstor general has decided to attach coat hangers to the over coats and blouses of the enlisted men of the army. Kor the overcoats 10,000 whllo metal chains will bo purchased , whllo about 45,000 yards ot mohair braid will bo used for the tilou.so bangers. In speaking of the recent changes In the artillery service the Army and Navy Reg fl ier of recent date says : "The artillery of the United SUtes la In a otago of transition.

Whllo In the future the life of the artilleryman will bo far from easy , It will , ncverthule&s. bo full of Intern ? ! . Ho la rapidly being transformed Into a mechanical engineer ; the problem tbit be will bo called upca to solve requiring the highest scientific attainments. Kor years every annual re port of the commanding general of tlio army has recommended an Increase * of thu artil lery , but the Increase haa not como yet , WhtMi U does como. as It certainly must very soon , It will probably provide for caly two additional regiments. This country will never support a corps of 20,000 aeacoist de fenders any moro than It will maintain a standing army of 500,000 Infantry. By direction of the secretary of war the following aruusl expenditure ot blank caliber 30-100 ammunition will hereafter be authorized In the Instruction and practice firing ot enlisted men of the army : For each troop ot cavalry and company ot Infantry ca amount not to exceed 4,000 rounds. For each battery of heavy artillery an. amount not to exceed 2,000 rounds. Bach band. armed with rifle or carbine , ono half the al lowance of the troop , company or 'battery. For schools of Instruction the following ex tra annual expenditure Is authorized : In fantry and cavalry school , not to exceed 10- 000 rounds. Cavalry and light artillery schools , not to excecj 32,000 rounds. Quartermaster General Weeka has recom mended the adoption of a new typeof shoo for the army and the recommcadatlon hco been adopted by the War department. This new style shoe hw been , tested at various posts during the last two or three months and has proved very satisfactory. Tneso shea ; will be bought under contract at tbo quartermaster's depot In Philadelphia and added to the stock to fill out depleted sizes. The new shoo will be gradually added to the supplies and eventually ksu&J regularly to the service. 7t Is understood that there will bo Issued shortly from the adjutant general's office a list of question. ? pertaining l army regula tions. Thcso questions have been prepared by a prominent line ofilcer who 5ias 'Iiad ' long experience with troops. T > ho pamphlet will form part of the cet of questions furnished to each examining board for determining tlio fitness of officers for promotion , but an excep tion will bo m > ido In this Instance and < tlio usual rule cf secrecy departed from. These questions will bo furnished to all officers who are required to undergo examination In administration. It la thought that the plac ing ot qucsMons to the Jinuls of officers will have the effect of Inducing a general and moro comprehensive studw cf regulations than has been usual In the fast. Whlpplo barracks In Arizona are to bo aDannoncu lit tne spring , uunoral auies lias recommended to the secretary of war that the two companies ot hifrntry now on duty there bo transferred. Governor M CorJ has pro tested against the removal of tlio troops from this post , but It is understood that tbo bar racks nvlll be abandoned In spite of thu pro- testa. Tlio report that the army was scon to chcogo the style of Its < lress uniform haa been denied by thu 'War ' department. Whllu It Is true that General ' .Miles lias f vcn the subject ot a change in uniform considerable thought cud , ha.-i ccwsUlerc-J a large number ol suggestions , no .cor.chMilou 'Ma been readied up to the present time. It Is reported In official circles that Secre tary lA'lger will shortly k stio an order which Hhall define the relations between olllcers and the enllBted force.
