The Arkansas delegation spent all of yes
terday In fixing upon the arrangements for
the exhibit to bo made by their state and
did not leave the city until 0:30 : p. m. , their
car being attached to the regular Missouri
Pacific train which leaves at that hour.
Before leaving they settled definitely that
Arkansas will erect a building and Install
therein Its exhibit , including all lines except
horticulture , which will bo shown In the
Horticulture building. A beautiful building
of natlvo wobd , stone and marble will bo
erected and an exhibit will bo made wlilcl
will Include the many products of tbo state
It Is estimated by members of the commls
slon that about flG.OOO will bo required to
carry out this plan bift they express the
gicatest confidence that this will be raised
without difficulty.
The party had fully Intended to start for
homo at 3.05 p. in. , and their car woo at
tachcd to the regular Missouri Pacific 'train
which leaves at that hour , but Just as the
conductor was about to glvo the signal ti
start the members of the party concludei
that 'they had better stay until they had
fully determined Just what should bo done
Up to this tlmo It had been generally agreed
that an nxhlblt should bo made , but It was
not determined whothrr a building shotilc
bo erected or not. In this uncertainty space
aggregating about 12,000 feet had been re
Di-vcd In the Agriculture , Horticulture
Mlnca and Liberal Arts buildings , and no
ck'linlto location for a building bad been do
elded upon. A ! number of the commissioners
insisted that this was a very unsatisfactory
outcome of their long trip and that more
definite arrangements should bo made. It
was at this point that their car was dis
connected from the train which at once
steamed out of the depot.
SELECTING A SITE , i
The exposition officials who were presen
announced that General Agen't Phllllppl o
the iMIssourl Pacific would send for a yarc
cnglnu und haul the special car of the party
direct to the exposition grounds , where the
visitors might cclect a location for their
building. This was a delightful Issue out of
their dllficulty and the delegation warmly
thanked Colonel Phllllppl. It was o sooner
said than clone and the party alighted from
their car on the bluff tract and proceeded to
make a careful examination of the few de
sirable locations remaining unasslgned.
A selection was soon made In the mltuli
of the visitors and then the party returnee
down town and went direct to the cxposl-
Ulon olllces. Architect Klmball was sum
inoned and an agreement was quickly
reached , the visitors being given tbo site
they most desired. They then released the ,
space In the main buildings which had been
reserved , with -the exception of the Horti
culture building , and all the prcllminarj
arrangements were complete.
The site decided upon for the Arkansas
building Is about 200 feet north of the wcs
end ot the Horticulture building , ono of the
most desirable sites In the entire tract as
signed to the state buildings. It will face
ono of the broad main avenues lending to the
Horticulture building and will b& between
that building and the grand plaza , where
people will enter the blult tract from the
main court. The site selected for the Mis
sourl founding Is In a corresponding location
near the east end of the Horticulture bulld-
1ns.Tho
The Intervening tlmo until the departure
of their train was spent by the visitors In
visiting the various cxprsltlon departments
nnd acquiring all kinds of Information. They
were plentifully supplied with exposition
literature by the Department of Publlcltj
and Promotion and when they started fo :
hnmo they were profuse In their pledges o
n line exhibit from the "homo of the razor-
back. " '
SENTIMENT OF THE VISITORS.
After all arrangements for the Arkansas
exlilblt had been completed Judge Jones of
Pine llluff , a member of the Arkansas Ex
position commission , voiced what seemoi
to bo the unanimous sentiment of all the
party regarding the making of a fine exhibit.
" \Ve will have an exhibit , beyond all ques
tion , " said the Judge. "Tho extent of It wll
depend entirely upon the manner In which
our people support our commission. I do
not anticipate any difilculty in raising the
amount wo bollovo is necessary , about ? I5-
000 , for putting up a building , Installing a
line exhibit and maintaining It during the
exposition. We have very little time In
whlcli to make our preparations , but I bo-
Ilcvo wo can do It. It Is most unfortunate
that our legislature made no appropriation
for this purpose , but wo can only make the
'best of It now. Wo have abundant resources
from which -to ralso this money and we will
bo hero this summer with an exhibit that
will make pcoplo open their eyes. "
The party was Increased yesterday morn
ing 'hy ' the arrival of James T. Pomcroy
of Eureka Springs , who stopped In Kannao
City to attend the meeting of the Missouri
Expedition commission and * learn something
of what Missouri intends to do. Mr. Pom-
eroy atscrted most positively that the north
western part of the state where ho llvea wilt
bo represented by ru exhibit regardless of
what the rest of the state may do.
"Our section Is thoroughly aroused , " said
Mr. Potneroy , "end wo are going to have an
exhibit. I accompanied the Missouri com
mission on Its visit to Omaha and when I ro-
turcicd home and told our people of what tha
exposition was going to bo they all agreed
with ino that wo must make an exhibit ind
how the world what wo have cloun thcro in
Itio Ozark mountain country. Wo have mudo
oriangemcnts to teproduco ono of our famous
mineral ( springs and keep It supplied viltli
the natural spring water during tlin cntlro
exposition ntU wo are also going ( o have an
exhibit of the fruits and other products which
ere grown In our section. If the s-a'o m.il.es
n general exhibit wo will join with It and do
all wo can In the Interest of a fine exhibit. "

A meeting to organize the Imposition
chorus will be hold Monday evening of next
week. The first meeting will bo held In
Hoyden's muslo hall , at Sixteenth and Dodge
streets , but permanent quarters will bo ( se
cured In tlmo for the next meeting. This
first meeting , will bo In the nature of a
rally and all who dcslro to Join the chorus
or assist In making the music of the exposi
tion a success nro Invited by Musical Di
rector Klinhall to bo present at that tlmo
and make their desires known. Prof. Kimball -
ball will bo present at the meeting nnd wll
explain the details of the plan on which the
musical work of the exposition will bo based
Ho wishes It understood that singers In
Omaha and Council Bluffs , South Omaha erIn
In the surorundlug towns who will agree to
attend the rehearsals and comply with the
requirements of the rules will bo admitted
to membership In the chorus and made wel
come.
"Tho executive committee of the exposi
tion has just consented to a little dctal
I have been urging for some time , " sali
Prof. Klmball , "and that IB to agree that nr-
ratigcmonts shall bo made whereby people
may gain admission to the Auditorium buildIng -
Ing to hear the concert without first paying
a fco to get Into the exposition grounds. I
believe this h a strong point In one respect
At the World's fair this little detail raised
a great storm of protest , and I hellevo 1
Injured the attendance at the concerts. '
think wo can secure more of an audlenco
at the concerts by this means than woulc
otherwise attend , as they will not bo com
pelled to pay double fee when they wish to
only hear the concert and go away again.
"Tho pcopla should not lose sight of the
fact that the Auditorium Is to be mippllec
with the finest organ In th's ' part of the
country. The exposition authorities made
arrangements nomn tlmo ago with an eastern
company to construct one or us nnest organs
and place It In the Auditorium building
This Instrument will have 2,700 pipes , three
manuals , fifty stops , and will bo used In
connection with the orchestra. It will also
bo used for organ' concerts and arrange
mcnts will bo made with some of the most
eminent organists In tlie country to como
hero and glvo recitals on It.
"I am now carrying on negotiations will
the well known Theodore Thomas orchestra
and expect to close an engagotnent for that
organization to conic to Omaha.
"Tho time Is short In which to accomplish
the great amount of work which must bo
done In order to make the music of the ex
position a credit to the great enterprise
but with the hearty co-operation of tin
musicians of Omaha , South Omaha , Councl
Bluffs nnd the surrounding territory wo wll
have a Musical department that will bo a
credit to any musical center. The time bai
como when no mere personal Impulse shoult
bo allowed to Interfere with the carrylnj
on of a project which Is bound to rellec
credit on tha cntlro community If proper ! }
supported. The result accomplished by
these cities will bo taken as a criterion by
which the musical culture of Nebraska anc
Iowa will bo judged and personal pride
should Impel every singer In this entire sec
tion to put IIH ! shoulder to the wheel anc
glvo all the assistance In his power. "

Prof. F. W. Taylor , who attended the meet
Ing held In Chicago In the Interest of a move
mcnt to Increase the flcmand for American
corn as c food product , has returned from
that meeting greatly Impressed with the
raagnftude of the undertaking. Ho attendee
the meeting as the representative of the Department
partmont of Exhibits of the exposition and
was largely Instrumental In Inducing ihe sup
porters of the movement to comtncilce opera
tions In Omaha by Installing an exhibit a
the exposition.
Prof. Taylor stated that the meeting was
attended by about 150 or 175 representatives
of manufactories of com products , superin
tendents of experiment stations connected
with agricultural colleges , and others Inter
ested In lacreaslng the demand for corn.
As a result of deliberations It woo de
cided to commence active operations at the
TrriMmlsslssIppl Exposition by erecting a
building to bo decorated In a lavish bul
highly ornamental manner with corn , anc !
'install therein the various products made
from corn , including the new corn flour

there will also bo established a cooking
school at which the methods of preparing
odlblo and attractive dishes of corn pro

A telegram from San Francisco announces
that the committee appointed by the com
mercial and Industrial bodies of that city to
consider the feasibility of a California ox-
ilblt At the TraiiBmlsslEfiippl Exposition lias
leclded to report adversely on the project.
The commlttcomiM ) say that a general lack
of Interest has been manifested by the people
of northern California regarding an exhibit
and the absence of any assurance that frco
space to the amount of 10,000 feet would bo
lonatml to the state by tbo exposition man
agement combined to Impel the committee
to the decision announced.
In view of this termination of the
spasmodic efforts of the Can Francisco
pcoplo , the state will probably bo represented
only by thp county of IMS Angeles , the
people of that energetic county having al
ready raised a fund of $10.000 for the pur-
101.0 of making a line exhibit of the fruits
and other resources of that section.

PRESIDENT WOODBURY'S FORMAL ANSWER

n Supply AVI II lie
Thcro was another turn In the controversy
between , the exposition management and the
Omaha Water company yesterday when
President Thcodoro C. AVoodbury of the lat
ter company arrived hero from Portland ,
Me. Some days ago the exposition directory
through a committee asked President Woodbury -
bury what terms the company would make
In furnishing water to the exposition. Soon
after his arrival hero yesterday President
Woodbury sent an open. letter to the expo
sition commtttco naming tbo terms of the
company. His letter Is addressed to Gurdon
W. Wattles , chairman of the committee , and
others , and Is as follows :
OMAHA , Feb. 17 , 1S9S. Gurdon W. Wat
tles , Chairman Committee , and Others :
Gentlemen As you know , n formal answer
to your communication Inquiring the terms
under which the Omnha. Water company
would furnish water to the exposition has
been delayed by the negotiations respecting
the amount of water which would bo ru-
quired nnd the terms under which pay
ment would be rniicle , In order to Justify
iho ! expenditure which would bo necessary
to furnish It. <
I now desire , having fully discussed with
your committee those preliminary matturs ,
to make you n formal reply.
In December last the water company made
an offer to furnlBh the exposition company
with freewaterand to 'take Us plant at
cost , provided the company was assured
of possession of the property until IMS.
This hope of tbo water company nnd ot the
exposition company having been frustrated
by Injunction , to which we were not a
party , nnd In which It Is evident wo can
not be Justly treated , must bo abandoned
linrlnr thn tiemlenev or these neaotla-
tlons the water company 1ms supplied the
exposition with free water , to the value of
over $10,000 , and Is a'-Hl continuing to sup
ply it. i
To meet your request we shall need to
expend a largo sum of money. Wo arc
advised nnd bcllevo correctly that wo are
under no legal obligations to furnish this
water. Hut should we stand upon our legal
rights wo should ba forced Into a position
of antagonism toward itho executive com
mittee und others with whom our rela
tions chave been harmonious and satisfac
tory , and wo would Injure the exposition ,
In the success of which wo are concerned.
Under these circumstances the water com
pany will waive these questions and wll
connccit its mains with those of the expo
sition company nnd furnish water to nn
amount not to exceed 2,000,000 gallons In
any ono clay at 5 cents per 1,000 gallons ,
upon the following conditions :
The Indebtedness duo from the city to
the company shall bo llrst paid nnd all liti
gation In respect thereto dismissed and
feettled.
The bills of the Omaha Water compan >
ID the exposition company for water fur
nished shall bo paid monthly. '
If the city legally orders plpo and hy
drants on streets where It Is now laid on
the exposition grounds cthe water companj
will take the same at Its cost and cost of
laying. i
It is also understood as a part of tills
proposition tha , : the exposition committee
will see to It that the payments for watei
furnished will l > o duly made.
Meter to bo furnished by tno water com
pany and one-half the cost paid by the
exposition.
The lugoon to bo filled first time by
water company free of charge.
The charge for water at above rates to
commence on May 1 , ISOi. Water for con
struction purposes until May 1 to be fur-
nlfihed free of charpro. Very respectfully ,
THEODORE C. WOODBUHY , President.

Six'c'lnl Committee \nincil fit
City Culls on the } ln minors.
The special committee appointed by the
Missouri Exposition commission at Its meetIng -
Ing In Kansas City arrived In the city and
spent the day in consultation with the
officials representing the various departments
ot the exposition. The committee was In
structed , when appointed , to confer with the
exposition authorities and learn definitely
Just what arrangements can be made as to
space , the amount of space that may be
secured in each of the main buildings , the
conditions under which Missouri will bo al
lowed to erect a state building and Install
therein Its exhibits and such other informa
tion as may be necessary to a full under
standing and Intelligent decision. The com
mittee was not authorized to enter Into any
contract or bind the state commission.
These constituting the committee are S. A.
Stuckey of Carthage , chairman ; O. W. Wa-
tere of Canton , W. W. Morgan of Kansas
City , W. J. HOUEO of Monroe City , J. W.
Darnel of Jefferson City , J. Milton Turner
of St. Louis.
The members of the committee cay there
lo no doubt about Missouri being represented
at the exposition In the most becoming man
ner. The state commission has already
raised $26,000 for n state exhibit and build
ing , and as much in ere is in sight , making
It absolutely certain that the state exhibit
will be a most creditable one.
As a result of the conference with the
officials of the Exhibits department the com
mittee reserved spaces In the main exposi
tion building as follows : Mines , 2,400 square
feet ; Agriculture , 2,220 ; Liberal Arts , 2,000 ;
Horticulture , 1,183 feet. The committee alto
selected a site for the Missouri building ,
being a very elghtly location just north of
the cast end ot the Horticulture building ,
facing the high bluff overlooking the valley
of the Missouri for miles In either direction
and abutting on ono of the broad avenues
leading from the grand plaza to the Hor-
tlculturo building.
