The exposition management and the ran-

understanding in regard to the inspection of
the electric light installations at the
grounds. Under the provisions of the city
ordinance no connections can he made with
new installations untii after the work has
been inspected by the city electrician or his
assIstant nnd certIfied to be safe and work-
manlike. During tb last two days a large
number of connections have been made without -

Electrician Schurig says that the expo3ition
people have refused to allow the Inspection.
He declares that a portion of the wiring on
the bluff tract is absolutely dangerous and
that imperfect installations have been made
even in the main buildings. In his opinion
there are cases in which the wiring is en-
tlrely Inadequate to carry the OO-volt current -
rent safely and there is grave danger of dre
unless the ImperfecUons are remedied.
Under the ordinance the electrician has an-

The completion of the detaIls for the I

He promises to make the occasion one of the

that il1 equal the attentianee on the open-
I ing day.
in speaking of the exposition to The lIce ,
Mr. Harper said : 1 think the managers
of the exposition have a right to feel proud
of their achievement. for the exposition is
cerlalnly greater and grander than anything
that was expected. I have met a great
many friends front the east , and all of them
are unanimous in expressing the same scott-
meat. -
"There is one opportunity which should
be availed of by the exposition. and which
I believe would add to its popularity in
view of the present war situation. You
have doubdess noticed that President McKinley -
Kinley in hi appointments to military
commands hag been doing all he can to blot
out sectional antagonismS between the north
and the south. About a month ago the
Hamilton club of Chicago adopted a resolu-
tiun intended to further this object. The
resoluUon reads as follows :
"After a lapse of a generation. northern
troops are again marching to the south. but
now to join bands with our southern countrymen -
trymen against a common enemy. At this
time It Is especially appropriate that everyone -
one should do nil in his power to emphaslz
the fact that we are oug country. It is
fitting also that here where we have reared
a monument to the confederate dead , and
have shown in many ways our belicf in an
undivided country. we should continua the
good work whenever an opportunity Is pre-
seated. Moreover , it is vell that this or-
ganization. founded on the anniversary of
Appomattox. should do what it can to fost'r
the Idea that while the ninth of April.
1SG. is memorabie as the day of final tn-
uraph for the union arms. It has a more
exalted place in our hearts as the first day
of p'ace in a reunited hand. In vte.w n
these facts , to provide for a frequent and
universal public expression of the fraternal
feeling of corth and south , and mindful of
the influence music has upon the masses ,
it Is

ltesolwed. That the president appoint a
committee of five whose duty it shall be to
do everything in its power to carry into
effect the spirit of these resolutions and to
urge all bands and orchestras , north and
south. on all occasions when they play a
northern or southern air to immediately
follow the same with an air recogniz-'ti as
sirniiarly significant in tha other section.

.I was apopinted chairman of the corn-
inittee and we have already accomplished
considerabie in the direction indicateti. At
our theaters and concert haiLs the orchestras
and the hanii have acted on the suggestion.
and have Interspersed their music with corn-
binationa of northern and sauthern patriotic
airs. Tue result has been to electrify the
audience. I think the musical department
of the exposition should be induced to per-
Sue the same policy In the preparation of
the numbers of the programs for the tInIly
concerts by the Marine band. The musin
thus arranged would be a potent factor in
welding closer the union between all parts
of the country and eradicating the line that
formerly separated the north from the
south.
At a meeting held Tuesday in the omces of
the National Business league In the Chicago -
cage Stock Exchange building it was agreed
that as ninny members of the league as pea-
ible shall he present and that a special
train of palace cars be chartered for the
league. Arrangements will be made for the
accommodation of women who may accompany -
pany the party. In order to avoid dtscoru-
fort by oyercrowding. the number of passengers -
sengers in each car will be limited. The
train wIll leave Chicago Monilav evening ,

Omaha Tuesday morning at S o'clock. Returning -

after the festiviUcs of the exposition are
over at night. arriving in Chicago Weilnes-
day forenoon. Tickets for return will be
good several days. and the rate will not be

Many members of the league have already -

Bids for the construction of a four-room
addition to Lincoln school will be ativertised
for today. the plans of Architect Davis liar-
hag been accepted. The addition will be of
brick and will cost in the neighborhood of
ssr.'o. ' According to the llans there will be
two school rooms on each floor. each having
a seating capacity of fiftyfour.'t'hen the
present Lincoln school was erected it was
planned that an addition could be built without -
out causing any inconvenience or injuring
the architectural design.
Architect Davis is now engaged on the
, plans of a four-room building on the Highland -
land school site. The frame building now
in use has been sold and will be moved away
,
to make room for the new structure.
Arrangements are being made by the pres-
Went anti secretary of the Board of Education -
tion to advertise for beating appliances for
the additions and new buildings to be
erected. The trouble with the heating and
ventilating plant at. Hawthorne school has
impressed upon the members of the board
the necessity for the strictest scrutiny into
heating and ventilating plans hereafter. All
plans submitted will be carefully considered
by the board and the advice of an expert
; itl be obtained before any more contracts
are let.
hieinIIiitr IiiEeeNs Tax.
City Treasurer Broathvehl commenced yea-
: terday refunding the excess occupation taC
to the saloon keepers. During the day about
2.OOO was returned. In every instance the
saloon keeper to whom the money was refunded -
funded was compelled to give a bond indemnifying -
nifying the treasurer against loss in the
event that the right of the treasurer to refund -
fund this money was contested in the courts.
It is thought that the breweries will call
for their refund totlay and in that case the
greater portion of the excess will have been
paid back by night. When this vexing question -
tion is settled there will be money in the
city treasury to meet expenses .N o bills
of any importance have been allowed for
some time and the pay roil is now two
months behind. As soon as the city has a
clear title to the occupation tax money a
lot of bills which have accumulated will be
paid. -
