The beneficial effects of the creation ol
the office of superintendent of the cxposltlct :
la plainly to be eocn by a visit to the
grounds The work Is proceeding with more
energy than wa apparent when every branch
of the work wan under a separate head and
marked progress Is being made In uvcry
line Superintendent Poster has been In of-
flco just a week and hai devoted his entire
tlmo to the Department of Bulld'nga end

tarrying the electric light wlrrs will bo laid ,
completing the undcrgrour.it xvork in the
main court The la > lng of nalks and the
completion of the embellishment of the main
court will follow this work rapdly. The
frost I.s alinodt entirely out of the ground
rn the north aide of the lagoon , but on the
eouth Hide the ground Is frozen to a depth
of over two feet. Work will be commenced
on the north side first In order to give the
Etui and other Influenced a good opportunity
to thaw the ground as much as possible.
PUSHING THi : BUILDINGS.
The buildings In the main court arc rapldlj

they will commence work on them within a
very short time A large force of men will
bo put on this building , nnd It will be finished
In a very short time. The carpenter work Is
entirely completed , the skylights are flnUhcd
and the start work on the building Is of
such a nature that but little time will bo
lequlrcd for Its completion. The greater
part of the embellishment of the building Is
In bn sculpture and Sculptor Brlnghurst of
St Louis Is now working on this A series
of high relief panels will extend entirely
around tlm building just below the cornice ,
the panp'o ' showing processionals of art
workers of all arts and all periods. The

The Government building Is making the
most remarkable progress. It Is under contract -
' tract to be completed by April 1 , and Engi
neer Farnan , the government engineer In

that will bo completely enclosed within a
icry few da\s The btaff for the building
Is being put In place as fast as possible , and
already thu Government building Is ono of
the landmarks on the grounds. It can be
seen from down-town with great distinct-
new , and when the upper portion Is covered
with staff. It will form a most Imposing
sight. A staff statue , "Liberty Enlightening
the World , " fourteen feet In height , will
surmount the dome , the pedestal on which
thu flguro will stand being 150 feet from the
ground Alll of the models , except the
groups of statuaiy which will flank the base
of ( ho dome , have been received , and the
greater portion of the staff Is made and Is

Bluff There will bo no plastering on the
outside of the building , the entire exterior

ticipate 'n the opening of the exposition.
The executive committee met In St. Louis
Saturday of last week and fixed the date

There arc usually about 300 delegateto
the meetings of the national organization ,
and the number of visitors usually swells
the attendance to from 1,500 to 2,000. Nearly
all of the members bring their wives and
famlllra with them , thereby Increasing the
number considerably. The'travelng men will
undoubtedly take a prominent part In the
ceremonies of the opening of the exposition
and will assist In giving the enterprise a
coed start.
Those Interested In the exposition are
greatly pleased that the traveling men will
hold their convention at an early stage of
the exposition , because. It 10 argued , they
will bo scattered over the entire length and
breadth of the country within a very few
dajs after the convention Is over , and v\lll
circulate the reports of the exposition fai

'I OP dill \\lllllN lllC
A rather novel proposition comes from
Ttpeka , Knn. The citizens of that town
have raised a fund of $10,000 for an audi
torium building and a proposition has been
made to the exposition management by
which the money will bo turned Into the
fund for a Kansas exhibit , provided the
exposition management will agree to turn
over to Topeka the material in the Audi
torium building on the exposition ground
for removal to Topeka , where they propose
to reconstruct It. By this means they hope
to secure a fine exhibit at the exposition
and still devote the money to the purpose
.or ' which it was collected. The railroads of
Kansas have agreed to contribute $15,000
toward an exhibit If the people of the
state will contribute a like amount , and
he Topeka scheme would more than comply
with this condition.
The proposition was made to the Depart-
nent of Publicity and Promotion and the
Kansas promoters have ibeen apprised of
the nature of the construction of the
Auditorium building and Informed that the
exposition management will perform Its
share of the scheme If the people of Kan-
has desire to enter Into such an arrange
ment.

Me'ors. Holbrook and Hare , a couple of
San Francisco men , arc applicants for space
for a miming exhibit which gives promise of
being a very Interesting exposition of min
ing operations. They propose to ccnetruct
a mining tunnel extending Into the bo\cld
of 'tho earth for a considerable distance
and showing the various methods of mining.
It In Intended to show , In a graphic vva > ,
the appearance of a tunnel mrmlng through

Southern California IN Allvr.
Notwithstanding tbo action of tbo com
mercial bodies of San Francl&co In decid
ing to make no effort to have a California
exhibit at the exposition , the counties of
southern California aie taking energetic ac
tion for au exhibit of the resources of that
portion of the state , with a very flattering
prospect pf success , regardless of wtiat Is
done by the more northern counties. The
supervisors of Los Angeles county have ap
propriated $1,500 toward a fund for a Los
Angeles exhibit and a fund of $10,000 has
been raised for an exhibit. Active work Is
being done In San Bernardino , San Diego ,

"In the event of war with Spain or any
other country at the present time , " said
A. N. Kcclcr of St. Louis last night at the
Mlllard. " 2,800 able bodied men could be
font to the front from 'Missouri ' within
( forty ilght hours after a cell for the Na
tional Guard , but the most of them would
have to go unarmed. What few arms are
now In their possession vvero obtained from
the federal government. The state has
never scon fit to foster the militia and the
funds appropriated have never been suffi
cient to provide comfortable and adequate
quarters for tl.e regiment. The present war
&carc , however , may arouse the states of
the union , because I believe that Mis
souri's neglect la not alone to a sense of the
value of the National Guard as an organiza
tion In times of peace , and result In more
generous appropriations to build up and
maintain a first class National Guard. "
"Ono of the most Important pui poses for
which the Yellowstone National park Is
maintained , " said W. L Carson of Living
ston , Mont. , "Is to preserve certain rare
specimens of animals which arc threatened
with extinction. The buffalo Is doomed , of
course ; not moro than 200 specimens now
survive In the whole country , out of all
the millions that roamed the plains fifty
years ago. Happily , the other creatures In
the reservation are Increasing. There are
Immense numbers of antelope and elk
not less Uun 20,000 of the latter and the
beaver , ouco nearly wiped out , are reap
pearing In the streams Porcupines are
plentiful , too. The coyotes wolves , whoso
extermination would be a lasting blessing
are numerous nud bold. Last winter ihpy
killed off seventy-five- a hard of 500 an
telope , and during the summer Just past
they destroyed many fawns and elk calves.
It Is Intended to kill off enough of the coy
otes to prevent them from hunting In packs.
Expert hunters and gamekeepers are em
ployed at the park. It takts a clever hunter ,
acquainted with the luunts and habits of
the animals , to catoh a poacher. Many un
scrupulous persons make a business of
poaching upon the national preserves , ac
tually selling the meat of their stolen game
on the outskirts of the reservation. A buf
falo skin , formerly purchaseable at $1 , now
brings a good price , and a buffalo head ,
mounted. Is worth at least $250. Elk are
shot by the poachers for their horns , which
are worth from $10 to $75 a pair. The
government Is Just now doubling Its- efforts
to prevent poaching and It deals harshly
with persons caught at the business. "

The resolution by which tfio Union Pacific
railroad comp-iny fa given permission to

WPS qualified by a provision that requires
the railroad company to begin the construc

Mayor Moores appointed John Matthle.scn
formerly custodian of the city hall , as as
sistant license Inspector. It was referred to
the committee on judiciary.
Adam Morrell , W. II. Gamble and Grant

as the board for the examination of barbeni

appointments were confirmed without rctei-

examination of plumbers.
FnOM BOARD OF PUBLIC WOUKS.
City Engineer llosewatcr submitted the
following communication relative to the dif
ferences between the Board of Public Works
and the council relative to expenditures lu
that department. It was referred to the
committee en street Improvements and
viaducts :
To the Honor.iblc , the City Council of the-
City of Omaha Gentlemen : In compliance
with resolution of > our honorable body callIng -
Ing for monthly estimate of Hbor and nm-
terlnl needeil for street work for the mouth
of il irch , 1 lesptctfully Milmilt , for the
same reason ns heri'tofoie stated , that It H
Impracticable to jnnko unv accurate esti
mates without knowing the weather that
will bo encountered or the character of
work which under resolutions will be pei-
tnltted to bo done , or provided for. The
expenditures for street worlc elurlng the
month of March , 1S97 , when all the present
members , with perhaps one exception , vvero
members of the city council , was $3,237.
How much less thin this will bo needed
this jear will depend , as alie.uly stilted ,
upon conditions and circumstances over
which the boarel has no control. There arc
eighty miles of paved streets icqulritiR to
bo cleaned , and < C # additional miles of
streets and allejs to bo kept In ropilr. It
resolves Itself , therefore , to the degree of
cleanliness thnt will satisfy jour honorable
body nnd the extent to which streets will
be allowed to be torn up by storms without
timely repair. The Board of Public Works
heretofore In this city , as In every othei
city , hns been given latitude of Judgment
In protecting the Interests of the public In
the execution of their sworn duties. It Is
only In the exercise of such Judgment ,
within reasonable limits , that the best and
most economical service can be rtmlero.il
to the city. Last ear the streets of the
city vvtre universally admitted to have been
placed In better condition for tr.illlc than
for many > ears. The board was under 110
restraining order , nor did it expend any
money for which the city failed to receive
an equivalent. Although the season was
brief , .v svstem was devised for the first
time whereby every piece of work was
checked , its cost iccorded , and every piece1
of lumber and other matciial puichafed was
accounted for In every detail. All this
was done without nut mining i emulations
The work of this year , Inlew of the ex
position , will be more exacting than any
year In the history of tha city. Tuc Uo ird
of Public Works cannot render efficient
Service If It cannot move in any dlieutlon
without orders for every detail from the
city council. I cite these facts because I
deem It my duty to do s > o In view of the
recent action of your honorable body.
The board him asked for such Implements
as are usually possessed by every city of
10,000 population. These Implements are
needed for economical grading , shaping and
compacting streets of the city. If we can
not have them we cannot keep up with
modern requirements However , wo will do
the best we can under the circumstances.
Failure of co-operation must result In the
crippling of public service and an Increased
post of vvoik , as well as Its dctcrlJi.itlon.
In the general public Interest we ask the
co-operation of the legislative with the
executive department *

The city engineer also suggested the de
sirability of a systematic series of tests and
analysis of asphalt pavements. Ho urged
that in this a record could be kept of the
formula used In each section of pavement
and the comparison of results would show
which vvero the most satisfactory. This was
referred to the committee on j > avlng and

OMAHA , March 1. To the Editor of The
Bee : Is It not disgusting that ministers of
the gcspel , Impulsed by some motive , preach
to their congregations the advisability of
closing the gates of the exposition on Sun
days from a nonrcllglous standpoint , and In
place of expounding to them the dlvlno word
and pointing out to them the ono thing
needful ? Jeremiah xxlll , 31. Is It not Im
posing and untalled for that ministerial cir
cles anal ! prescribe to the exposition author
ities whether or not the exposition shall be
open or closed to visitors on Sundays ? Are
the expostlon dlrectois not men of thought
and Judgment nnd capable of looking to the
Interest of the people and employes without
receiving good advice from a body not at all
concerned In the matter ? Is it not beyond
thought to pronounce such directors who
are members nnd ofllceliolders of BOIUO evan
gelical church ripe for expulsion , when for
some reason they favor the Sunday opening
of the exposition ? Have not all Christians
the full privilege of keeping away , far away ,
from the exposition grounds on Sundays ?
What difference Is It to the nonchrlstlan
whether or not ho attends the exposition on
Sundays ? What will bo the consequence If
the church penetrates the rights of the
state ? Will not then the state sooner or
later look after Its Interest In the church ?
What a sad and deplorable spectacle will It
bo when state and church arc thus entangled ,
that oathbound officers of the church shall
seek the Interest of the church In state
affairs and oathbound officers of the state
shall Intrude Into the church sanctuary to
find some benefit for the state ? Should not
the freedom for state and church t > o cau
tiously and wisely ect apart In the constitu
tion of our glorious union be hoped to pros
per and remain unmolested , in splto of all
demonstrations on the part of Ill-guided
and would-be reformers ? Does not Sabbath
breaking mean on the part of the minister
of the gospel to manifest false doctrine In
word and deed and on the pait of the lay
man to despise God'b word and preaching , l > y
not hearing , believing and living the eamo ?
is not tiaDDatu breaking on part of the
many In progress every Sunday and always
not alone In exposition dealings , but In
every transaction ? What docs Christ say as
to His kingdom , the church John xvlll , 38 ?
Has not the church a higher and more Im
portant mission than to meddle with the
gates of the exposition on Sundays ? etc ,

"Wo want to increase our trade in boys'
and children's suits. Wo think there are
too many mothers in Omaha who are wed
ded to the high price illusion and wo want
to change their minds. The quickest way
wo know of to do it is to show 'cm.
That's the Missouri way. Today , on our
second floor , we will bo ready to show 'em three distinct nov
elties in little boys' suits Junior , Knicker and Ueofer stylo.
One of these is a line Scotch novelty for little tots 4 years to
8 , and it is about as swell a suit as evergotAYostof New York.
The price in swell stores would bo live dollars , maybe six ,
but in this store the price will be three dollars just to
show that we put on no airs. Novelty No. 2 is a beautiful
creation for buys of the same age , intended to bring some
where from four to five dollars according to the notion of the
storekeeper , but our notion is $2.75Novelty No. 8is a ,
three-piece suit coat , knee pants and vest for boys 8 years
oi age and over , and our price will be four dollars and a half.
We are positive that equally good suits can bo bought around
town for seven dollars and we are equally positive that
no store sells them for less than six dollars except ono. Their
price is five ninety-eight.
