Ho la the forerunner and the companion of fairs , expositions atxl special happenings. A great many perrons who never have and never will make an hoiicflt living have as keen a sense of the pleasure of attending these great occasions as other people , but not having the money , they cast about for some scheme by the aid of which they can fleece the nubile out of their expenses whilst attending ihe e ex pail- tlocs llcRgliig will not do , for they would ho arrested ; highway robbery Is open lo the eamc objection , but n living they must have. The list of fake advertising schemes Is stud ied and a scheme chosen , not on account of its merllo. but because the parties think they can work It , and clear up the most boodle LjiU star , through the efforts of the ad vertising men , the newspapers and the mer chants of Omaha , that king of all fake fichcnics , the State Kalr Bulletin , got Its quietus , arid ratny other equally nefarious enterprises of this Ultvl were laid low and abandoned for lack of support. lut ! this > ear the ovcs of every fakir In the country are turned on Omaha ns the harvest field. Within a week the writer has received two propositions to help push a fake which Its protnotets declare Is a dead "cinch , " stating that It will jleld a profit of $5,000 between the 15th of March cad the 15th of April next. These gentlemen from the wst cor.ldcntly expect to have the merchants of Omaha contribute- them for the privilege of plac ing their advcrt'slng In a special directory for the coming exposition , Just think of the margin thc.ro must bo In this great fake , which would vlcld at the rate of 560,000 cold cash lor Ita promoteis In cue. year. This is better then Klondike gold inlying stock at 1 cent n share. Parties are now at work In Omilm upon a similar dlicctory of rooms and boaitllng houses They offer to direct exposition visi tors to thevw roons and lodging houses for 10 per cent of the gross revenue' from the parties lucatcJ. Then the proprietor la to take and pay for an advertisement In the directory ; the amount charged for the space varied according to the number ot looms the advuitlser has for rent. For Instance , Mrs A. , with ten rooms , pays $23 for a half page In the directory , whl'dt Mra. I ) . , with live rooms , only paja ? 12 50 for the same space In the director ) . The pajme tb for thcso advertisements nro made f > o much dovi and the balance when the dliectory 1 < dellveied. The real advantages of this scheme to the schemer will appear when It i.i remembered that most hotels are renteil on the basis of 10 per cent of the grOv lecslptb The bchemci .11 this ease not onlj pets an evtortlonnto price for his space In 'ho proposed directory , but aclually collects rent on the hotel or lodging house Into the bargain.

Job- bert , particularly those dealing In diy goods , have been busy In looking after these cus tomers. The merchants have been attracted by special excursion rates of one and one-third faro for the round trip from all points In the tenltory mentioned which comes within the Jurisdiction of the Western Passenger association. There tickets were placed on s lo from February 10 to 25 and are good returning between February 2T and March 5 , both Inclusive. The excursion tales were secured by the Merchants' 'butcau ' of the Commercial club. While a considerable number ot country merchants were here , a greater numbci are expected at the second meeting next month between March 26 and April 1 , The same i educed rates will then be In effect. The dates named will bo pUccd between the dates named , and will bo goo.l returning be tween March 30 and April 9 A greatei cioud l expected then because the present tlmo Is considered a little top early for the country merchant i to stock iip.

The connection was made and water turned CM shortly before midnight Fri day night. A delay of over twenty-four hours WOB caused by the conditions which were found to exist when work was started , The frost had penetrated the ground to n connld- crablc depth , causing great difficulty In ex cavating the trench , nnd It was found that there was no val\c In the exposition mains near where the connection was to be made , eo that It wns necessary to allow the water to run Into the excavation and then pump It out before the work could proceed. These dimcultica wcro surmounted , however , and the water was turned cii. The next step will be to make connections with the bluff tract. Tills portion of the grounds linn been supplied through an Inch pipe with water for construction purposes , but a complete sjstcm of large mains was laid Borne time ago the full length of tVs tract and connection will be made with this sjstem at Sixteenth and Plnckney streets. \Vork was started on this connection as soon aa the water was turned Into the main court , and there will be no cessation until the connection Is completed.

IliiIlilliiKHSelcotcil from Whlcli the CoiiiiiilkNloiicr linyCliooNC One. The announcement in The Bee that Con gressman Mwcer had succeeded In Inducing Commissioner of Indian Affalni Jones to ad vance the date of opening -the Indian supply depot In this city from June 1 to May 1 If existing conditions do not change was reud with considerable satisfaction by the racm- bets of the Commercial club. That bodj has been especially vigorous in backing up Congressman Metcer in the matter. The club members , however , do not see that thcie Is anything left for them to do that has not already been done. The club Is icady to furnish a suitable building an eoon as the government Is ready to accept It This building has been formally tendered rent fieo by 'he city authorities. Nothing remains to bo done except for the govecn- ment to accept the offer , examine the build ing to see If It Is suitable and occupy It. Secretary Utt of the club says thai neither ho nor the club could do anything In the matter of selecting the' ' building. They might rent one which the government offi cials would not deem suitable for the pur poses for which It Is to be used. Secretary Utt has a half dozen bulld'nga on the string and Is only waiting for the government to examine them and oelect the most suitable one In case Commissioner Jones himself comes to the city to make the selection , as is intimated In the dispatch. It is proposed to send a committee to Chicago to meet him aad escort htm to Omaha. The club has made efforts to have bids for Indian supplies opened In this city even before - fore the opening of the depot , but Is not very sanguine of success In this direction. It Is not considered that the department on Indian affairs would care to purchase goods In this city before a place was obtained tor storln. ? them. However , Secretaiy Utt hue written to Congressman Mercer regarding thb and a day or so ago received en answer to the effect that the congressman would make an effort to have bJs ! opened hero for the pur- chahe of equipment and honacs for the Sioux Indians.

The examination of the Elkhcrn Valley house by the special jail committee of city officials discloses the fact that It will coat upwards of fIJOO to put the building In ehape for occupancy. A number of the partitions would have to bo moved , and the plumbing would require a thorough overhauling. There Is also e-nslderablo objection to the loca tion on account of Its proximity to the Dodge school. City Engineer Hosowatcr has re ceived another proposal , the nature of which he will not disclose until the committee hag another meeting. A permit has been Issued to the Krug Brewing company to build a tuo-gtory and babement brick building at 9M-18 North Sixteenth - teenth street. The proposed structure will bo 00x60 feet , and will cost { 6,000.

An entirely different eyntom of distrib uting < ho carriers' moll on Sunday will be Inaugurated today. Formerly cny one wanting mall on Sunday merely gave Ms number In and this was called out , making A great confusion as well as letting malt out In A very haphazard way. From now on persons desiring their mall will call at the superintendent's office any tlmo after 11 o'clock Sunday morning and an order will bo given them for their mall. These orders will bo numbered and the holders of them will bo waited on In order of their number when the office opens at noon. When the superintendent l&sucs an order he will take the name and address of the person to whom the order Is Issued and this slip Is taken to the distributing room , where the person's mall lo collected and labeled with his mini- bercd slip. When the office opens all the mall packages that have been ordered will bo so arranged that they can bo handed without delay when the order Is presented. The pcatal authorities fllo all orders for mall , so they have something to show for mall that they let out. By this system ho postmaster hopes to distribute the Sunday mall In much loss time than formerly , as well as with less confusion and risk. MXB OP THKU MKCI.Y TO Din.
