The morning session of ( lie Nebraska
Exposition commission was as mild as n day
In Juno ami a large amount of business was
disposed of. although tictio of It was of
any great Importance. All of the members
of the commission wcro present and a large
number of pcreons were there who had busi
ness with the commission In some capacity.
Superintendent Youngera of the horticul
ture bureau , Clmpln of the floral depart
ment , Johnscii of the agriculture department ,
Jllsa Mullona Iluttcriflcld of the art dc-
partmciu , State Superintendent Jackson of
the educational department and Assistant
"uucrliitondent Stewart of the same depart
ment , Chancellor Macbean and Prof. Har
bour of the University of Nebraska and a
number of others were In the lobby.
Nearly the entire session was given up
to discussing with these various superin
tendents the work of their departments and
they were all Instructed to make detailed
estimates of the probable expense of each of
their departments and submit them to the
board at or before the next meeting.
The finishing and furnlHhlng of the Ne
braska building was discussed with Miss
Iluttcrflcld for some time. She suggested
that the walls of the rooms and the rotunda
should be tinted and not left a dead white ,
such ns would ratalt If the hard plaster fin
ish was not treated In eomo artistic man
ner She explained that the tinting of the
walls would not bo expensive , and would
odd greatly to the appearance of the pic
tures , decorative china and various articles
of bric-a-brac and virtu , which will bo sup
plied In profusion by the various Interests
which will ho represented. The subject of
furniture was also discussed , and It was
llnally decided that Miss Hutterflcld should
visit Chicago to consult experts In decorative
Unco , and report to the board at the next
meeting a plan for furnishing the building
with the probable cost. A question by Miss
lluttcrfleld developed the fact that the mem
bers of the board favored purchasing all ma-
tutrlal from Nebraska dealers.
WILL ASSIGN TUB ROOMS.
This dlscufcslon developed the necessity for
determining upon the uses to which the
rooms of the building are to bo put and the
committee appointed to determine upon the
number of employes was Instructed to also
report upon a plan for assigning the rooms
In the Nebraska building to the several uses
for which they will be required.
In this same connection a communication
from Mrs. Fanny Daily Markland was read
and referred to Miss Hullorflcld. Mrs. Mark-
land Is a member of the Maryland Exposition
commission and la a sister-in-law of the late
General Crook. She wrote that she has the
oxteni'ivo ' Jndlan collection belonging to
General Crook and desired to Install It in the
Nebraska building , because the general had
been closely associated with the history of
Nebraska. It WCH the cxprcssljii of all the
members of the commission that this col
lection would be a most desirable acquisition
and the committee on roomy was Instructed
to take this Into consideration In deciding
upon the allotment of roams.
Miss Iluttcrfleld asked If the commission
would extend any aid to the Nebraska Cera
mic club In making an cxJilblt. She said
the club had applied for 320 feet of space In
the Liberal Arts building and the Colorado
club "had applied for Just twice that much
Immediately adjoining. She said she under
stood ( his was duo to the fact that the Colorado
rado commission was assisting 'the ' Colorado
club and she asked the Nebraska commission
to do the same. S'io was requested to have
n formal application presented to the board
at Its next meeting for consideration.
WHAT TUB SCHOOLS WANT.
Assistant Superintendent Stewart of 'the '
educational department appeared < bcforo the
hoard to explain the plan proposed for ar
ranging the educational exhibit. IHo said the
superintendent of the department had re
ceived 1.732 applications for space from high
schools and graded schools , 322 from rural
schools , IfiS from private schools , forty-eight
from denominational schools and ono from
A chautaiKiua assembly. These applications ,
ho said , represented a teaching force of 2,306 ;
it also reprcsente.l 1,183 high and graded
schools , 322 graded schools , eight state In-
sH'utlons. five private schools , five denomi
national schools and ono chuutauqua , making
a total of121 schools.
Mr. Stewart also presented a rough nkotch
urn wing how It Is proposed to arrange the
spare set apart for the educational exhibits
In order to make the most of It. The plan
contemplated a scrim of booths with no
passageway between the booths , but with n
net'row passageway along two sides of the
long row thus made. The booths arc O
bo about filx't'on feet square with walk
twelve feet high. A narrow opening Is left
In the middle of each of the four sides for
entrance exit. A table four feet fquaro
ocuplcit the center of cacti booth. This plan
wan not objected to by the commission , but
the department was Instructed to submit an
estimate of coat tf this plc i to the next
meeting of the board.
Chancellor JMcLtan submitted a sketch
Ehowlng the general arrangement of tl'o space
assigned the university , the Idea being to
erect walls twelve feet In height about the
space and to have partible racks of the same
height at available spots In the apace. Ho
was asked to subn.lt an estimate of cost to
the next moating. The chancellor flald there
would bo twcii.y-two departments In the uni
versity exhibit , the oilier departments bclnij
turned over to the appropriate exposition de
partments. Ho said It had been found that
the preparation of maps , charts , etc. , for
which tlio board had appropriated J250 at the
laet meeting , wnuld cost $040 and ho nskol
for an additional allowance. An additional
J250 was voted for the purpose.
Tim chancellor said It would he necessary
to have an experienced college man to take
charge of the university exhibit during the
exposition and give Information to visitors ,
llo suggested that one of the professors of
, the university might bo secured for this
> purpose at an expense of not over S50 per
month , This was referred to the commit
tee on employes.
I'rof. Dawes of the Institute for the Deaf
said he had not been able to learn anything
definite from the Woman'H board regarding
space In the Girls' and Hoys' building for the
living exhibit to Illustrate the methods of
teaching , and could not give any retails re
garding that. The expense of preparing' the

WILL. GET THE OLD CHIMNEY.
The Horticultural ( society of Snrpy county
offered to move to the exposition grounds
the stone chimney of the first mission house
erected on Nebraska soil , providing the com
munion would furnish the necessary space.
The offer was accepted , and the ancient
chltnncy will bo In evidence on the grounds.
Former Governor Fiirnas offered tila ex
tensive collection of nfljjvo woods to the
commission for exhibition , and this offer was
accepted ,
A discussion arose among the members of
the commission over n request of Klmball
Brothers , the staff contractors , for Instruc
tions ns to how to proceed In putting n strip
of staff moulding around the base of the
Nebraska building , and also making a claim
for extra pay If the moulding Is to bo put
on. This discussion developed the fact that
Architect Craddock and Superintendent Blake
have been making numerous changes In the
construction of the Nebraska building with
out consulting ttio commission , and have
added several hundred dollars to the cosl
by thla proceeding. The strip of moulding
spoken of by Klmball Brothers was shown
to be one of these unauthorized changes , but
Inquiry developed the fact that the construc
tion had been so changed that the filrlp
could not bo omitted without causing an ad
ditional cost of over $300 for making the
change.
This development , togelticr with the fre
quent changes In the cornlco referred to by
Corcmlffiloner Casper In bis speech about ex
perts , combined to produce "that tired reel-
Ing" on the part of the members of the
commission , and after a short discussion
Chairman Neville was appointed a comuilttco
of ono to take , charge of the building until
the next meeting of the commission , and he
was given full authority to discharge the
entire working force , It ho deemed ttiat
course neccstary , and also to adjust the
difficulty concerning the staff work In the-
manner that he considered best.
This concluded the business of tbo board
and It adjourned until March 8.
OHATOIUO KOH THIS KXl'OSITIO.Y.
\Vlllnril I'attuii'H "iNiilnli" < < > lie 1'rci-
iliiocil hy n Grand Chorus.
Minneapolis people arc entering Into the
spirit of the exposition heartily , especially
the musical department , and are collating
much support among their neighbors. Their
object Is to secure n good choral production
of the oratorio "Isaiah , " the work of a
Minneapolis composer. In this connection
the Minneapolis Times of February 22 has
this to say :
\Vlllard Patten's oratorio , "Isaiah , " will
be produced on a prand scale this summer
rtt Omaha , as a leading musical feature of
the Trnnsmlsslsslppl Exposition. Word iwas
received vesterdav from the mns1p.il illrpntnr
of the exposition , definitely placing the work
on the musical program and agreeing In a
Bonernl way as to the terms. Minnesota's
musical masterpiece will occupy a place of
honor. It will be sung by a great chorus
collected from the great cities of the west ,
accompanied by the Thomas orchestra ,
which Is to play five , weeks nt the exposition.
The exposition management 1ms agreed to
furnish the Thomas orchestra for the event ,
also four s-ololsts who shall bo satisfactory.
The production will be In an auditorium on
the exposition grounds , seating 3,000 people.
The plan at present Is to collect a Minnesota
chorus of SX ) voices , of which Minneapolis
will furnish the larger part. Choruses will
bo organized In St. 1'aul , Duluth and possi
bly other cities , which will study "Isaiah"
and come together at 'Minneapolis ' for a.
final rehearsal before going to Omaha. Then
the Aipollo club of Chicago has already ar
ranged to go and lartro choral societies ot
St. Joseph , Denver and Salt T..ike City are
planning to attend. These will In all proba
bility take up the work and after one final
rehparsal with th < orchestra the grand
chorus of several hundred voices will pro
duce It. No selection of soloists has yet
been made and It is among- the possibilities
that some of the leading- lights of grand
opera will .bo. secured , as features of the ex
position und will sing- the solo parts in
"Isaiah. "
The Minnesota commissioners have not
taken olllclal action In the matter , but a
meeting- will bo held some time next week ,
at which they will no doubt olflclally adopt
the oratorio n a Minnesota feature and
they will probably ask that It bo. Riven the
place of honor In the program which will
open the exposition to the public about
June 1. Three members of the commission
ttero seen yesterday by the Times and they
were enthusiastic over the matter. They
said there could bo no question that the
commission would give Its olllclal endorse
ment.
The Chicago musical colony Is enthusiastic
over "Isaiah" and the suggestion that it b °
produced nt Omaha came from there , In ; i
letter to Mr. I'atten from a musician who
was to him a total stranger. When the sug
gestion was presented to F. II. Peavey , vice
president for Minnesota , ho took It up en
thusiastically and at once wrote to Omaha.
Wlllaru Klmball of Lincoln , musical director
of the exposition , heard "Isaiah" produced
In an eastern city and needed no urging to
see that It would bo a strong feature for the
exposition. The work of a western man ,
produced In the west by western people , It
would prove to eastern visitors that there
was something hero besides raw materials.
He at once sent a favorable reply and the
matter was then taken up actively. J. M.
Anderson of Metropolitan -Music com
pany was appointed a member of the com
mission by Governor dough , who heartily
approved of the plan. A rough draft of It
was sent to Omaha and the letter received
yesterday endorsed It. So notliln. remains
but working out the details.
Local musical people are enthusiastic and
there Is a remarkable sameness of opinion
among them. The usual professional jeal
ousy seems to have been entirely laid aside
und they are all nnxlous to fee the oratorio
produced and Mr. Patten given full credit
for his work , Ho will receive earnest sup
port from the wnole fraternity hero when It
m needed ami Chicago musicians are en
thusiastic. Kdltor Mathews of Music , who
so warmly commended "Isaiah , " has put
his shoulder to the. wheel. Carberry , the
soloist , who sung the tenor role so success
fully hero last winter , 1ms taken hold ac
tively. Singers the country over are using
solos from "Iimlnh" and the local work Is
being well advertised. Us ( production at
Omaha will be a crowning feature In Its
career.
"People In the east have nn Idea that wo
have lots of wheat and lumber In Minnesota
seta , but very little rise , " said J. M. Ander
son ot the Metropolitan Music company last
evening. "Wo want to shoiv them that wo
have some degree of culture hero and that
wcHtcrn soil produces something- more than
raw materials. iMInnesota should be proud
of such a work. "

A.voTiir.ii vmw or TIIR STAMPS.
IVIuil nOTV York Collector
of tin1 Spoc'lfil IKXIIC.
At last ono stamp collector has been found
who has A broader comprehension of the
special Issue of postage stamps to commem
orate the TransmlsslBslppI and International
Exposition than the narrow views ot certain
collectors who have rushed Into print to de
clare that the only purpose was to mulct the
collectors of the cost of full sets. A. 'II. '
Rogers , a New York man , who Indulges In
stamp collecting as a diversion , visited
Omaha several weeks ago and spent two or
three days with an old friend. During this
visit ho went to the exposition grounds and
saw the progress that was being made and
the general plan of the enterprise. Follow
ing this visit ho wiotc a letter to the Phila
telic Era , an organ of the stamp collectors ,
which Is given herewith In full :
N13W YOUK , Feb. 2 , 1S9S.-TO the Editor :
Donr Sir I see ever BO many letters pub
lished from philatelic writers nil decrying
the stamps that are to be Issued In recogni
tion of the great TransmlssUslppl and Inter
national Exposition nt Omaha and I beg to
take a dlircrent view from what they do on
the following grounds :
I suppose nine-tenths of them think It Is
going to bo n. one-horse nffalr , Instead of
which It Is goingto bo ono of the grandest
expositions ever held In this country. In
fnet. way ahead of the Centennial and ns
large as the Atlantn , Nashville and Califor
nia expositions put together , but not us
largo ns the Columbian Exposition.
It has been my pleasure lately to drive
around the extensive buildings that nro new
nearly completed , nnd 1 was astonished nt
not only the beauty , but the symmetry of
the whole plan , for which great credit 13
duo the chief architect , who was at one
time n stamp collector , nnd In my own esti
mation and from what I have heard others
say It will exceed the World's Columbian
exposition In the general attractiveness.
The United Slates Government building
seemed to me larger than the one nt the
Columbian exposition. The buildings nnd
surrounding walks , etc. , take In 20J acres
and It is expected that at least 5,000,000 paid
admissions will be taken In and certainly If
a government whoso Interests nro allied
with progress desires to celebrate such an
undertaking- nn Issue of stamps that will
bring to the notice of the world what an
lirmenso country wo have when the western
states alone can erect such a tremendous
and macnlllccnt exposition , the covcrnmcnt
ought to be entitled to do so without the
criticism of any and the postmaster sen-
oral should receive the approval of all , as
ho deserves It for being so willing to Issue
them , as he Is looking after the Interests of
the country and Its prosperity.
Wo know these stamps are not Issued for
revenue and I think wo should judge people
by their intent and not by what a lot of
collectors think who rush Into print without
knowing anything -whatever of the nature
of this grand exposition , iwhlch they arc Is
sued to commemorate.
Wo all know how many thousands nnd
hundreds of thousands of collections were
started by the Columbian stamps and I be
lieve this Issue of stamps , which will be a
very beautiful set , even more so than the
Columbian , will bring to our ranks tens of
thousands of new collectors , to say nothing
of reviving those whoso collections have laid
dormant especially since the great slump In
prices caused by the hard times , and there
certainly has been no time In the history of
iphllately when It needs to extend Its arms
and receive as many new recruits as possi
ble as now If for no other reason than the
commercial Interest which effects almost
every collector In. some way. Yours re
spectfully. A. II. ROGEIIS.

the city was passed at the adjourned meetIng -
Ing last night. H will be submitted to
Mayor Moores this morning and as soon ns
his signature Is attached the couplings will

position grounds. City ( Attorney Conncll
submitted a copy of the order of the district
court , by which the IJaum Injunction was
dissolved Insofar as It referred to the pay
ment of the bills of the water company by
the city. This was accompanied by a reso
lution which recited the facts , declared the
1S97 bills approved , to bo paid as eoon as
the proceeds of the refunding bonds were
available and directed the comptroller to
deliver to the water company the warrants
for 1800 bills aggregating $43,373 , which ho
had hold In accordance with the orders of
the court. The resolution was adopted un
der suspension of the rules , Stunt casting
the only negative vote.

a resolution recognizing the Independence

UEGULATING OTH-E3H MATTERS.
This was followed by a resolution by
which the Board ot Public Works was In

the matter belonged entirely to the Hoard
of Public Works. As Stuht voted for the
resolution and no ono clso voted at all , It
was declared adopted.
'Stuht's next effort was also directed at
the 'Board ' of Public Works. It summarily
ordered that body not -to proceed further

temporary paralysis of the vocal chords the
resolution was adopted .by 2 to 0.
Mayor 'Moores' ' vetoes wore very tenderly

they were all sustained without a dissenting
vote. The ordinance providing for grading

In accordance with the resolution passed
nt the last meeting of the Board of Educa
tion a special agent will at once bo set to
work to look up violations of the Slocum and
other laws which are not being made sub
ject to fines and licensee. It Is ithe opinion
of the members of the board who have been
looking up the matter that the revenue of
the board can -bo Increased by fully $50,000
asldo from police court fines , which are be
ing looked after by another committee.
In the first place It Is asserted that there
are at least twenty-five places In the city
where liquor Is being sold without a license.
There are also several places In which liquor
Is being sold In two places on one license
nnd steps will bo taken to compel the pro
prietors to take out as many licenses as they
have rooms In whlch _ liquor is sold.
Another proposed source of revenue Is the
resumption of the practice of lining lewd
women and the resorts In which they con
gregate. It Is believed that $50,000 Is a very
conservative estimate of the amount that
would actually bo secured It the plans pro
posed are carried out.
The special agent nrho will bo employed
will bo given the authority of a special po
liceman , and his Identity will not oven be
disclosed to members- the board , Ho will
be expected to make i a personal Investiga
tion and 'bo ' prepared with all evidence ndceB-
sary to support the position of the beard.
It Is expected that tbls task will require at
least two months , and If the present plans
are -carried out the board will direct its at
torney to begin prosecutions of the parties
Involved If It becomes necessary In order to
secure tbo Imposition of the fines.

After having olllcinl cognizance of the
complaints against the .garbage contractor
for three months the Advisory Hoard llnally
came to a decision yesterday afternoon. Thl
was In the shape of a resolution offered by
Chief Gallagher , which stated that the
board bad found that the contract had been
violated under cover of resolutions alleged
to have been paised to grant special privi
leges. It was therefore recommended that
all iipcclal pcnnita and privileges bo Imme
diately revoked and that hereafter tbo con
tractor Hhould be held tothe etrlct Interpre
tation of his contract. The resolution was
adopted by a unanimous vote.
Secretary Laughland and Thomas Kllpat-
rlck of the Associated Charities appeared
before the board to urge the advisability of
providing a rock pile for the amusement
ofthe unusual number or tramps that are
In the city. Secretary Laughland eald that
jio was overrun with applications for meals
find lodging * and that the city Is full of
tramps , whu have been attracted by the ap-
pconcli of the exposition. ] lo A \ae3 \ that
If a rork pile U provide ) aud & few hours'
work breaking stone U made < ho price of a
meal or A night's lodging a very lev weeks

IIa llu nf lie iinnm * ! ! i.l ll v ! _ _ _
urged that this will largely assist the police
department and the tramps will soon learn
to give ( he city n wide berth.
The board took the view that the matter
rests entirely with the city council and con
sequently refused to act further than to vote
a recommendation to the council that A rock
plla bo provided.
Health Commissioner Spaldtng again
called the attention of the board to the fact
that the funds of the department are alto
gether Inadequate to care for pick and In
jured people among the transient population
necking In on account ot the exposition. Ho
declared that most of these cases arc clearly
county eases , but the county authorities ab
solutely refuse to care for them , and he Is
compelled to cither have them sent to the
hospitals at the expense of tlin city or al-
IO\Y them to suffer , He urged that It Is Im
perative that some understanding ( mould bo
had with the county In regard to these casca
and a motion was passed by which the
county commissioners wcro requested to bo
present at the meeting next Wednesday nnd
discuss the situation.
Dr. Spaldlng also brought up the matter
of a prst house , on which he had already
addressed the council , and the board passed
a resolution requesting the council to make
the desired provision.
The board endorsed the action ot the
Board of Public Works In regard lo the em
ployment of street sweeping machines for
thirty days on trial and the secretary was
directed to notify the various bidders of Its
action. City Engineer Hosewatcr stated that
It Is proposed to make the first cleaning as
soon as the frost Is out ot the ground and
then the spring rains would keep the pave
ments comparatively clean until later In the
spring.

It has been Informally decided by the mem
bers of the city council that some definite
steps should bo taken to bring about a more
harmonious system of bookkeeping In the
various departments. It Is stated that while
the accounts of the city have been much Im
proved during the last two or three years
there Is still something lacking In order to
Insure a perfect balance between the differ
ent departments. A number of cases have
recently occurred In which there has been a
morn Or loss ntllll.irrnsslni * nnnlrnvnrot. lin-
twccii the comptroller's and the treasurer's
departments on account of differing Ideas of
bookkeeping , nnd It Is contended that the
accounts of the police court and other minor
departments are not kept with tbo best oys-
tcm. It Is stated that this docs not Involve
a criticism of any olllclal , but that the fault
lies In the fact that the various systems
have sprung up Independently ot each other
and that It Is desirable that some system
should bo adopted that will apply In nil de
partments nnd thus save unnecessary labar
and annoyance. A special committee will
bo appointed to consider the matter and
recommend such Improvements as It con
siders practical. This committee will
probably consist of Councilman Dechel , Tax
Commissioner Sackett , Comptroller Westberg
and Bojd Clerk Fead of the treasurer's olllce.

Eighteenth street between Williams and
Center streets are making a vigorous effort
to head oft the proposition to bring the street
to grade. The proposed Improvement has
been requested by the owners of a majority
of the abutting property who have offered
to waive all damages in full. But it seems
that in 1SS9 the council adopted a resolution
by which the property owners were author
ized to park fourteen feet on one sldo of the
street. The street Is fourteen feet wider
between Williams and Center streets than
at the abutting sections and It was this strip
that It was proposed to park. No Improve
ment of the kind was ever made , however ,
and now the property owners contend that
the action ot the council vacated that part
of the street. This Is not supported by the
records an.l the Indications are that the
Improvement will be carried out as originally
contemplated. The grade Involves a cut of
nearly twenty feet at a point near the center
of the district.

Thcro is one place on the innp where they sell a
full fur hat , eiitiu lined , gros grain trimmed , Fedora
or Derby , black or in colors , for 75 cents. It's a , good
hat. A good deal better hat than yon think it is it
yon havn't seen it , and a good deal better than you
have any reason to expect. It's the same place where
they Boll good shoes for $1.25 , good socks for a nieldo
good all wooTpants for $1.50 , and good all wool suits
for live dollars with emphasis on each and every good.
At the same place yon can pay more money for same
articles and get better value and better service and
better wear than yon can get any oilier place for the
same money , and you can'tbny _ anything trashy or
poor or unserviceable in that same place no matter
how badly yon want to or how lit tie yon pay. It's
just the kind of a place for people to tradein who
want to trade where they can always get satis
faction or money back if anything they buy is wrong.
Where is this place ? It's handy. You probably
have guessed by this time but if you haven't or doji't
know it , it's a good place to get acquainted with anil
