Verr Enponrnirlncr Iteftort of

fort * Oat There.
'A gratifying report of the measure of suc-
cera attending the efforts ot Special Commis
sioner R. W. Richardson In California has
been received by the Department of Publicity
'end Promotion. Mr. Richardson says that the
prospects for a good exhibit from the entire
state are more than flattering. After secur
ing strong endorsements from leading people
, In the state , recommending the appointment
of a state commission , Mr. Richardson eays
'ho called upon Governor Budd and had an
extended conference with him. The rcsu't '
of this Is contained In a letter to Mr. Rich
ardson from the governor's private secretary ,
a follows :
"I am Instructed by Governor Budd to Inform -
form you that after the presentation of your
Tequcst that commissioners be appointed from
ihlfl state to arrange for Its representation
at the Transmlsstsslppl Exposition , he has
decided to appoint euch commissioners , al
though no funds are available to enable them
to arrange for an exhibition.
"The governor trusts that the commission
ers whom he will appoint will , by their per
sonal efforts , take such action as will be
agreeable to the state of Nebraska , whosa
exposition the governor withes the greatest
success and which It would afford him tbo
greatest pleasure to assist. "
Mr. Richardson eiyn thin commission will
probably be appointed early this week and
will consist of seven of the most actlvetmen
In the state. * f
T.\1IOU AOITATOHS AT THEIR WORK.
to FordC ) n Strike Antony Cnr-
Iieiuter * nml Painter * .
For the past two or three weeks rumors
of Impending labor troubles at the expo
sition grounds have been in circulation
among those In touch with the exposition
nnd in labor circles. These reports have
'been ' to the effect that the carpenters and
painters were about to strike for a radical
Increase in the ccale of wages being paid.
Some ot these rumors had It that the car
penters would demand that their wages bo
Increased from 30 cents per hour to 60 cents ,
and that the painters were considering a
demand for an Increase from SO cents an
hour to 60 or GO cents. Rumor also bad It
that a time for making the demand had
been agreed up en , and that a general strike
would be ordered unices the demands were
compiled with.
Investigation reveals that there Is a good
foundation for some > of the rumors , but no
euch radical demand us outlined above Is
cocntcmplated at this time. At the three
last meetings of the Carpenters' unlca this
matter has been discussed , end at the last
meeting a motion to Increase the scale from
30 cents per hour to 37 } i cents was defeated
by a very clcfe vote.
Conservative members of the Carpenters'
union eay that this matter is helms agitated
iby men who have been in the city but a
short time , and by some who have been
members of a union but a short time. One
individual , In particular , belonging 'to tbo
latter claes , Is charged with being responsi
ble for a great deal of the loud talk that
betj bom going on recently. The conserva
tive memteira protean to believe that the
efforts ot the radicals will nto succeed , and
that they , are greatly outnumbered by the
men \\ho belong In Omaha and who were
parttej to the agreement whereby the expo
sition recognized union labor and will allow
4ho employment of none but union labor on
exposition buildings In return for an agree
ment that the union scale of wages In
force at the time the stipulation was made
hould govern during the construction period.
The agitation among the painters has been
long the tame Hncs as that ot the car
penters. The scale of wages for painters In
the agreement between the labor representa
tives and the exposition management was
fixed at 30 cents per hour , and the effort
new being made Is to Increase this to 37V4
cents. The situation among the painters lu
substantially the same as with the car
penters , and the conservative members ex
press the belief tht the agreement with the
expedition will " prevent any radical action
being taken ;
Whatever may be the outcome of the agi
tation among the painters , It is stated by
ono in position to know that thla very agita
tion Is directly responsible for the high
figures In the bids submitted for painting
the exterior of the expcsltlon buildings. The
bidders were cognizant of the fact that the
painters wore talking about demanding a
radical Increase in pay and the bids were
made to cover such an emergency. The
result Is that these figures are so high that
the Idea of painting the exterior of the
bUlldlngn has practically been abandoned.
The painting ot theoe buildings would have
< glven employment to at least 200 men who
will now be at leisure to discuss the neces
sity ot demanding higher wages.
There have been slight misunderstandings
between the carpenters and certain of the
concessionaires on the Midway , who Insist
oa working overtime without paying for It.
Thcso matters arc in a fair way of adjust
ment , however , without serious trouble.

At a meeting ot the Sees of Omaha the
following was adopted :
Whereas , On Sunday , the3dday , of April ,
In the year of our Lord 1898 , In a wild moun
tain pass In the territory of Alaska , there
occurred one of those terrible and awe-
inspiring manifestations of nature , where
a vast avalanche of snow fell , sweeping
Into the unknown world beyond fully two
score of brave nnd adventurous men who
had had the Yiardlhood to brave the rigorous
hardships of those cold northern mountains ;
and ,
Whereas , By such means It seemed good
to our father In heaven to take unto Him
self so unexpectedly and swiftly the soul
of Curtlss C. Turner , vice president of the
Sons of OmnVia , we fellow members of this
society bow ourselves with resignation to
this manifestation of the divine will.
Resolved , That we place hereby on the
records of our society the sense of our own
great loss , for ho whom It has pleased God
to call so swiftly from our midst had re
flected honor upon our membership In t'nat
In civic and social life he 'had ' borne a faith
ful part. His Interest In municipal affairs , his
loyalty to his friends , his warm and gener
ous nature made his Influence extend be
yond the narrow confines of ordinary social
obligations.
To his family we extend our most sincere
and deepest sympathy In this sad 'nour of
their sorrow , and with his host ot friends
we share and mourn our loss.

PELDEIl GETS AX IXJU.\OTI07T.
Secnrcii n neMtnilnliiK Order Airnlnst
the Concen lun Department.
The first lawsuit Involving the exposition
has been commenced , Judge Scott having Is
sued a restraining order yesterday afternoon
on the application of A. E. Fclder , the con-
ccuslonalro of the .Moorish village , a conces
sion on the Midway. This order restrains
the exposition authorities from Interfering
In any manner with the concession known
S3 the Moorish village , and seta the matter
for hearing before Judge Scott Friday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
Thla lawcult grows out of the trouble
between the Concessions department and
the cnnceralonalro of the Moorish village ,
which developed last week. The trouble had
been brewing for ednie time , the exposition
authorities Insisting that Mr. Folder mufit
fllo a bond as provided in his contract or
liavo his contract forfeited and Mr. Felder
declining to file a bond because he claimed
a bond had been walve.1. He also charged
that the ConsssslonD department lad In
fringed upon his contract by selling to other
concessionaires certain amusements on which
be claims to have a monopoly under his
contract.
Friday of last w&sk the exposition took
possession of the buildings ot the Moorish
Tillage , General Superintendent Foster tak
ing full charge and stopping all work on the
buildings. Several meetings were held be
tween the Concesslono department ami Mr.
Felder , but no settlement was reached , 'Mr.
Felder being notified that unlesa the de
mands cf the department were Immediately
complied with the concession would be rrlet.
The reply to this ultimatum was the ap
plication for a restraining order.
"Old Mil I On. ' Convention. "
Twenty spinsters of the "Young Ladles'
Single Blessedness society , " bedecked with
ruflles and frills , entertained a large crowd
at Crelghton hall last night. A meeting of
the society was 'neld nnd the members were
given an opportunity to air their views on
equal suffrage and other topics which are
supposed to Interest the maiden of uncer
tain age. In the reading of minutes and In
several other parts of the prosram a num
ber ot local hits were gotten off with suc
cess. In the conclusion of this august so
ciety's meeting a man appeared , a man w'no
could restore lost youth and who had a
machine for turning faded blossoms Into
buds. Ono by one the spinsters were ground
through thU marvelous device and turned
Into such creatures as they chose. Some
were turned Into musicians , and It was hero
that an opportunity was afforded to Intro
duce a number of excellent songs and other
specialties.
The entertainment was for the benefit of
the Church of the Good Shepherd.
