"We're whooplnt ; It up for the Mondamln
Cfrnlvnl , Sioux City , October 3 to S , thi-'s
what we're whooping for. " were the -words
printed on a large banner nnd on countless
badzes , the color of which was like that
flag which bit the dust at Manila. Santiago
ncd a few other nlaces recently , but wlilch
had no other likeness to that national em
blem , and they were carried and worn by
the happy representatives of Sioux
City , an
other of the bustling cities of the state
vhlch bounds Nebraska on the east.
Easy 1,200 of the residents of the corn
palace cntne to
Omaha jesterday on
a special train of eleven cars , arriving at
11.10. and on two regular trains reaching
hero during the morning. They came to cel
ebrate the day at the exposition which had
been specially set aside for them , and they
came In sufficient number and with such
spirit as to make the day an unquestioned
eucccsz.
In the party were the munici
pal magistrate , the title takers
and publicans , the law givers and the
scribes , with a retinue of official servants ,
nnd a large body of the populace. The yel
low badge , Indicating the wealth of the
ripened harvest which Is to be shown at
the coming carnival , was worn by all , and
canes cut from mammoth stalks of corn
were carried by many , as a lesson that
this cereal was a safe staff upon which to
lean , not only In Iowa , but also In Ne
braska. They , came on a mission- peace
If convenient , but one of a war for com
mercial conquest If necessary , but before
they had alighted from the trains they dis
covered the former was to be adopted by
the assaulted city.
The spirit of commercial genius , which , It
is said , enabled Sioux City to pull itself out
of the abyss of hard times and panics and
place Itself upon the road to business pros-
perlty , Is again shown In this visit , for
vrhlle the visitors came to absorb all the
beauties of the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition ,
they also Improved the opportunity
to boom the carnival which they
are to have In October. Hence the
yellow badges with the classical Inscription
heretofore mentioned and this Idea was
not lost sight of during the day.

As the train pulled into the station the
McCook band gave a welcome with one ot
Its popular airs , after which the reception
committee boarded the train and It was
pulled out to the grounds , where the ex
cursionists were unloaded at the north gate.
There a procession was formed , headed by
the band , which marched to the Auditorium ,
where the formal reception ceremonies were
held.
held.Later
Later the official party left the 'grounds ' ,
and as the entertainment committee did
not desire to show nny fa\ors to one par
ticular Iowa city which were not shown to
others from the same state , the party was
taken to the park of the Omaha Brewing
association , where It was entertained for an
hour in the same manner that the repre
sentatives from Des Molnes were received.
Innprct the Cltr Hall.
After-leaving the brewery the party came
down and visited the city hall , the Sioux
City officials making a thorough Inspection
of the building. At 2:30 : they were taken
to the Murray hotel , where they eat down
to luncheon , the guests of the Omaha offl-
'clals. When the substantial part of the
program had been diepobed ot Major Moorcn
assumed the roll of toastmaster and called
for remarks from a number of those pres
ent. Around the board. In addition to the
guests of the day , were Mayor A. W. Pattee
and Councllmen A. Jenks and C. 0. Burn-
bam of Stlllwater. Minn. , who have been In
the city since Monday. Mr. Patteo was the
first one called upon and was followed by
Mayor Quick , Nat M. Gray , E. M. Ester-
brook , F. E. GUI , George Ellerd and W. J.
Radcllffo of Sioux City and I ) . T. Mount
and Chief Redell of Omaha. The visitors
expressed the highest gratification over the
reception they had received and wanted
their visit returned in October that they
tnlght reciprocate the favors extended.
At 4:30 : the festivities were closed by
Major M cores , who again extended a cor
dial welcome to the visitors and urged
them to give up the rest of their sojourp
In the city to having a good time. In an
effort to fulfill this Injunction the guests
departed for the > grounds , as a final shot
giving three cheers for the mayor of Omaha.
Iiiilliiim Upon 11 Mure.
While the Indians are not doing much In
the way cf giving dances , Indulging In raccj
and putting up fhara battles they have gone
into business and propose to make a little
rconey. They have opened a store on the
couth side of the grounds and have ap
pointed Clerk Hergo of Captain Mercer's
office force * o look after the sale of the
goo Is.
Ever since the Indians came to the ex
position they have been hawking bows , ar
row ? , bead work and trinkets on the streets.
In many Instanced they have been badly
cheated. Recently some of the old men de
cided to stop this and manage if possible !
to obtain at least a fair value for the stuff
that the Indians bad to sell. How to ; ; o
.
about It they did not know , and It was at
this point that Hege was called. He cug-
gesed the establishment of a store. The
idea took and the plans were soon formu
lated. Since then a great stock had been
put In , with Heggo In charge. He works
without pay from the Indian ? , as he draws
his salary from Uncle Sam. The Indians
take their articles to htm and he registers
the name of the owner and the sale * v lje.
When the articles are cold an account U
kept , and once eah week a settlement Is I
had. The plan works well and the Indians
J
are securing quite a neat cum ot money
from the rale of their trinkets.

Next Thursday night the United States
llfo t&ving crew , commanded by Captain
Know lei , will give an exhibition drill on the

who were unable to Ret out in the l ytlme.
Captain Knowles has bton ready to put on

on Omaha , then are the ? skies of Sioux City
overcajst. This magnificent exposition ,
which meant so much to Omaha , would be
a potent force In building up Its sister city.
He expressed the most hearty appreciation
of the hospitable welcome that they had re
ceived and gave way to General Manager
Clarkson , who tendered the greeting ot the
exposition management. He complimented
the visitors on the valuable co-operation of
their state in the creation of the exposition
and particularly emphasised the cosmopoli
tan and International character of the show.
Adverse circumstances offered many oppor
tunities for failure , but In spite of all the
exposition had opened its gates with
out issuing a mortgage or a bond
and In twenty days more It would not owe
a dollar In the world. He briefly sketched
some of the prospective features of the
Peace Jubilee and other notable events that
will occur during the next two months and
declared that U-cns would bo an attendance
that would amaze tno world.
City Attorney F. E. Gill of Sioux City
briefly responded to Major Clarkson's greet
ing and the crowd was dismissed with an
invitation to make itself at home.
FKL1T DISPLAY CHOWS DAILY.
Colorado Annonnre * the Comlnjc of
II * Uxhlhll Directly.
The Indications now are that the entire
floor space In the Horticultural building will
be occupied before the end of the week.
Mrs. Chute , secretary of the Colorado Hor-
tlcultural society , baa written to Superin-
tendent Taylor that the Colorado exhibit has
> een shipped and that men are coming from
) cnver to put It In place. She says that the
entire 1,400 feet of floor space will be occu
pied and that the exhibit will be made up
of that the best that the orchards and vine
> yards of the state produce.
Colorado's space in the Horticultural
building Is just across the ball and south of
he Oregon exhibit , the second exhibit on the
right , east of the west entrance of the build
ng. The space could have been sold a dozen
Imcs during the past month , but as it was
contracted for by the Colorado people , the
exposition managers felt In duty bound to
hold it , notwithstanding the fact that the
ime for having the exhibit In place ex
pired long ago. In writing to Superlntend-
nt Taylor , Mrs. Chute says that the Colorado
rado fruit is exceptionally fine this year and
; hat for this reason she will have some fine
specimens and a large quantity and numer
ous varieties to show.
Slow progress is being made in Installing
the Idaho exhibit , which Is to be located In
the Horticultural building , just west of the
space taken by the Colorado. The tables and
shelving were made and placed some daj's
ago , but as yet no fruit has arrived , though
it Is expected any day.
The fruit exhibit , made by Douglas county
continues to grow In size and at the same
time it continues to attract a great deal of
attention. At thU time the exhibition ot
grapes seem to be the fad and the long
tables are well covered with the fruit , some
thirty varieties being exhibited. These are
neatly arranged aroun'd the outside of the
tables , while the centers are filled with
peaches of various , , kinds and colors , mak
ing a most , attractive display. The largest
exhibitor of grapes Is Phil Mergen , a farmer
residing just outside the city limits ot
Omaha. He Is showing something like
twenty different varltles , Including Moore's
Early , Concord and Warden.
Superintendent Stanton of the Illinois ex
hibit is getting in-line to show peaches from
the state from which he comes. He Is
clearing his tables of old apples and before
the end of the week will have them pretty
well filled with peaches. His display at this
time , Including such well known varieties as
Reeves' favorites , Albertas and Champions.
He has telegraphed for more and completed I
arrangements by which In the future fresh i
fruit will arrive dally. The Illinois apples
of last jear that were held In cold storage
are coming out remarkably well , especially
the Janets , a barrel of which came In jes
terday. The fruit seemed to be as sound I
and solid as on the day when it was picked ,
hardly any even being specked.
Iowa's apples nnd grapes are showing up
well and In abundant quantities. The ex
hibit has been Increased largely during the
past week and now Superintendent Collman
has placed himself in communication with
the fruit growers whereby he does not an
ticipate any difficulty In securing all of the
fruit that will be requ'rcd ' to keep his exhibit -
hibit in first-class condition.
Additions are daily being made to the Los
Angeles county exhibit from southern Cali
fornia. Yesterday a large invoice of fresh
lemons. Valencia late oranges , Bishop's
crystallized fruits , prepared citron , six va
rieties of grapes , Kelaey Japan plums. Alexander -
ander apples , oranges , cling peaches and
Hungarian prunes came along. A large
number of photographic views of orchards
and ranches have been received. The con
signment Includes views of J , E. Packard's1
Pomona ranch , which Is said to be the larg
est in the state.

President Carr of the Illinois Exposition
commission and Mrs. Carr are on the
grounds , It has been some time since Pres
ident Carr has been in the city and in
speaking of the exposition he said : "Many
changes have been wrought during my
absence , but all of them have been for the
better. The exposition has Improved won-
dtrfully. Everj-thln has taken on a more
finished appearance and everything seems
to bo running along in a business way.
"Tho exposition Is a great show and Its
name and fame are being heralded far and
near. Our people know of It and they are
coming here in large numbers as soon as the
weather coola off a little. Already thou
sands of them have been here , as the reg
ister Inthe state building will bear testi
mony. They alwajs boom the exposition
when they return home and tbo result has
been that a wonderful exposition sentiment
has ben worked up in Illinois.
"Chicago daj % as everybody knows , has
been set for October 1 and if nothing happens -
pens to prevent we will show Omaha a
crowd at that time. The war Is over and
business has settled back into routine chan
nels and as a result the people have time
to think and lay plans and as a result ot
this they are coming out here In large num
bers. Our merchants and manufacturers
are anxious to hold and acquire the trade
of the great west and to cultivate the ac
quaintance of the business men and they
feel that they must come to Omuba and get
In touch with them. This they can do by
v lilting the exposition and this they
will do. "
Superintendent P.lce ot the Burlington
railroad lines In Illinois and Mrs. Rise are
the guests of Major and Mrs. Hamilton at
the Btato building. They arrived yesterday
In a private car and will remain here sev
eral days. This is the first time that Super
intendent Rice has visited the exposition
ilnce long before the opening. Discussing
the great show he said : "It exceeds all
conception and is well worth traveling lone
distances to cc nnd should 1 * attended by
people from M over the country , as It will
bo long before the cloMng day. WhileI I
understand that there | g a f lr attendance
at thli time It will bo much greater when
the railroad rate question In adjusted ,
which I feel certain will be before many
day * . Omaha and the exposition will secure
chc-ap rates rates that will bring people
here by the thousands. All of the roads
will have ns much business as they can
handle and the exposition will have 03
many people as It can conveniently care
for. "
WOES OP THE FHL'IT EXlllBITOnS.
One Trouble Settled Jtint In Time to
Enconnter n DlitKer.
In one resp ct the woes of the exhibitors
In the Horticulture building are at an end.
Heretofore it has been the rule that all
consignments of fresh fruit must be de
livered on the grounds before S o'clock In
the morning. With the trains arriving later
In the morning and during the afternoon ,
It was Impossible to comply with this reg
ulation and as a result , much ot the fruit
( polled by lying in the freight houses erIn
In the express offices for hours after arriv
ing In the city. Now a rule has been pro
mulgated by which fruit may be delivered
during nil hours of the day.
While the fruit men have disposed ot one
trouble , they still have another and this
Is due to the fact that there are certain
conductors on the Sherman avenue street
car line who studiously ignore the fact
that there is an entrance to the exposition
grounds In the vicinity of the Horticulture
building. The exhibitors and men In charge
ot state buildings on the Bldrf Ira'cl'havo
urged upon the trainmen the importance
of stopping at this entrance , but Instead
of doing so , many of them run their trains
a block or two past the gate and then stop.
Passengers who had Intended to get off
the cars and visit the Bluff tract , rather
than walk back to the gate , prefer to re
main on the cars and ride up to the en
trance under the viaduct.
Yesterday the exhibitors and others em
ployed on the Bluff tract decided to adopt
heroic measures. They prepared a state
ment of facts , setting forth the action of
the , motormcn and conductors In not callIng -
Ing out the Bluff tract entrance and In
not stopping their trains at the gates. This
was signed by all of the interested parties
and will be forwarded to the street i-allway
officials , who will be asked to take some
action to compel their employes to regard
the , wishes of those who travel on the line.
Grnnil Cnrnlial of the Court.
On the evening of Friday , September 2 , a
unique entertainment will be given on the
exposition grounds under the auspices of the
exposition authorities and the Ladles' Bu
reau of Entertainment. It will be a carnival
such as have become famous In Rome and
Venice , and will consist of crowds of
maskers , dressed In fancy costumes and In
dominoes , and will be open generally to the
public , who are cordially Invited to take
! part In It and to make it the greatest spec
j tacle that has jet been held In connection
with the exposition. It will take place on
the broad walks surrounding the lagoon ,
land , seats for spectators will be provided
back of the pavement. Bands will be sta
tioned at various places around the lagoon ,
which will furnish music for the dancing
and antics ot this masquerade. The Audi'
torlum has been set aside on that night
as a dreselns room and general rendezvous
for the hundreds of people who will par
ticipate. The carnival will open with a
grand Darade of all the maskers around
the lazoon , after which the maskers will
dance and engage In a battle of confetti
and flowers , booths for the sale of which
will be placed at frenquent intervals around
the lagoon. The gondolas and launches
will be especially decorated , there will be
special illuminations and water fireworks
and altogether It will be the most brilliant
spectacle ever seen in Omaha. Very gen
eral Interest Is already excited over it and
from the Inquiries and promises of co
operation there is no doubt but that the
citizens and visitors generally mean to
unite to make the number participating
something far beyond the most sanguine
anticipations of the management. All per
sons are cordially invited to take part.
Experience vrlth Silver.
Agent Van Arnam of the Department of
Admissions , who came In with the children
from Lincoln , sajs he knows to a cent how
j much each youngster spent at the exposi
tion. He started out to provide them all
with tickets on the road , and as the 15 cent
tickets made It necessary to make change In
every case , he loaded himself to hie capacity
with small change. But he struck a propo
sition that would test the small change re
sources ot a national bank. Every last one
of the youngsters was provided with a rail
road ticket and a silver dollar. By the time
he had got through one car and handed out
So cents In change to each passenger he
was long on dollars , but his stock of small
coins were nearly annihilated. And there
were fourteen more cars just like It ahead.
He worked like a Trojan during the entire
trip , and when the train pulled into Omaha
he was still two cars shy of completing his
task. With a half-dozen exceptions be had
to disburse S3 cents to every child on the
train , and this meant counting out over JSOC
in small change in exchange for a small
wagon load of silver dollars.
Great Crowd at Micht.
Last night's crowd furnished another ob
ject lesson on the 25 cent rate proposition.
This went into effect at 6 o'clock , and by
that hour the rush toward the grounds was
almost as heavy as during the early part
of the daj % People kept pouring through the
turnstiles until S o'clock , and all the evenIng -
Ing the grounds were crowded.
Aside from the reduced rate the only at
traction was the second rendition of the
spectacular fantasle based on scenes from
the Spanish war. U drew a crowd that
packed the entire reserved space In front
of the band stand soon after 7 o'clock , and
hundreds of people who were willing to pay
for seats were turned away. Even the standIng -
Ing room on the Plaza was almost entirely
occupied , and the crowd received the spec
tacle with even more enthusiastic approba
tion than that which accompanied the pre
vious performance. One or two unavoidable
bitches that marred the entertainment Tues
day night were happily absent , and the
crowd was thoroughly delighted. U Is not
unlikely that the fantaslo will be repeated
next week.
Delny In flutter Scoring.
It waa expected that the butter scoring
content would come on today , but the Indi
cations now are that it will go over until
next week , owing to ec-me delay in getting
things In shape. This delay makes the
Minnesota people feel slightly disgusted , as
they were given to understand that the
scoring would take place last Tuesday.
Their principal objection to the delay Is the
roet , which averages soma 115 per day.
They shipped down 1,500 pounds of butter
and put It Into a refrigerator that uses up
JS worth ot ice every twenty-four hours.
In addition to this are the wages paid to
men who are employed to look after the
butter and keep it In good condition.
Being afraid of the refrigerating plant
the Minnesota people took no chances on the
artificial freezing. They secured a bljj re
frigerator as eoon as their butter came and
placed their butter In that. The big box
oa's up Ice very rapidly , and consequently
each day that the scoring is put oft adds to
the expense.
\rlirnikn Comml lon Meeting : .
The meeting ot the Nebraska Exposition
commission was held yesterday and consid
erable business was transacted. The sum of
$303.07 was appropriated to complete the ed

The emergency hospital cared for twenty-

minor complaints which required nothing
more than a prescription.
According to Captain Mercer the buffalo
bull which got loose Saturday In the Indian
encampment was let out of his enclosure
by his orders. Instead of as reported breaking

Wednesday , September 7 , has been desig
nated as Galesburg day and General Mana
ger Clarkson has been assured that there
will be a big excursion from tEe Illinois
city. A special train will leave Oalesburg
early the preceding evening and land the
visitors on the grounds early Wednesday
forenoon.
President Wattles has received a telegram
from Manager Roeewater conveying the re
quest of Cbauncey M. Depew and other
members of the New York commission that
New- York day should be changed from Oc
tober 6 to October S. The matter has been
left open pending a consultation with Sec
retary Wheeler of the New York commis
sion.
"How much do you charge , mister , for a
ride in the horseless carriage ? " is a ques
tion asked and answered hundreds of times
each day at the building of Montgomery
Ward & Co. "Everything free , ' is always
the pleasant answer which brings the good
ness of the Inquirer to the surface lu the
expression of surprise and gladness at the
wonderful magnanimity ot the greatest mall
order house in the world.
There will be no more Sunday tervlces at
the Auditorium. It was thought that it
would be a very proper thing to have
preaching every Sunday afternoon , but the
experience of the last two Sundays bos dem
onstrated that the people do not care to
pay 50 cents to hear a sermon. While there
were several thousand people on the
grounds , scarcely two score of them at
tended the services. the
services.Consequently man
agement has decided not to ask preachers to
speak to empty benches.
The exposition management is ready to
proceed with the arrangements for giving
the members of the Second Nebraska volun
teers a rousing reception at the grounds as
soon ns the precise date of their arrival can
be determined. General Manager Clarkson
will confer with Mayor Moores and others
who are arranging for the downtown dem
onstratlon with a view to securing con
certed action , so that neither reception will
interfere with the other. President Wattles
wired Colonel Bills jesterday afternoon { or
information relative to the arrival of the
regiment and as scon as an answer 1s re
ceived definite plans will be announced.
NEWSBOYS' FRIEND IS BACK
Colonel Alexander IIoagTnnd In Here
Looking After n Curfew Day
t the Exposition.
Alexander Hoagland , the "newsboys'
friend , " and more lately advocate of the re
vival of the curfew ordinance , is in the city
after concluding an extended lecture tour on
his favorite topic throughout the east. Col
onel Hoagland's home Is now In Louisville ,
Ky. , and he has been the guest of friends in
Lincoln and this city for several days. He
says that the curfew ordinance is being
tried with good success in several localities
which he visited , especially in MaBsachu
setts , though certain modifications have
been accepted. "For Instance , " he says ,
"patrolmen are instructed to take children
home after the curfew hour , instead of to
the city jail , and with other slight changes
the law seems to be perfect. The statistics
of misdemeanors In localities protected by
the law show a gratifying decrease in
wrongdoing , and in St. Joseph , Mo. , the ef
fect Is particularly marked , the decrease In
the depredations of hoodlums amounting to
80 per cent. "
Colonel Hoagland is In the city for the
purpose of arranging a "Curfew day" with
the exposition management. He has suc
ceeded so far as to be granted the use of the
Auditorium to present his plan to the public
on a day not } -et determined. He will con
sult with Mrs. Frances E. Ford of the
Woman's board , under whose charge are
the educational branches at the exposition
and with others interested as to the day
to be set apart.
In speaking of condition * among the
newsbojs In this city Colonel Hoagland said
he was much pleased with their Intelll
gence and courtesy. He added that he Is
familiar with the character of the news
boys In every large city in the union , and
that he could say authoritatively that the
newsboys of Omaha are above any others of
their class In the country. He will address
the newsboys at their union headquarters
on Farnam street , and discuss with them
plans for their further welfare.
HUBBARD AND HIS HARD LUCK
Trouble a Ilnrney Street Saloon Man
1 * Having to Keep III * Chance
from Thieve * .
Walter O. Hubbard is a little the worst
"hard luck" saloon keeper In Omaha. He
has been troubled lately with thieves taking
the money left in the cash drawer of his
place on Harney street. They not only sep
arated him from his cash , but left the bar
tender without any money for change when
he opened the place In the morning. Hubbard
Is somewhat of a thinker and be thought
him ouut a plan for solving the difficulty ,
but Is now of the opinion that be still has
a think coming. The other night when he
closed up he gave the change to the porter
with Instructions to bring It down in the
morning , and went homo to dream of bow-
badly the robber would feel when he found
the cash drawer empty. The porter got
home , but on the way there a footpad held
him up and appropriated the change and
that is the reason Hubbard Is working away
Industriously on nU second think.

council. President Blngham of the body of
cUy fathers has a thorough realization of
this fact and has been urging a special
council meeting to consider them. He wanted
the council to spend an hour in delibera
tion over the matters at the end of the
last regular meeting , but the excused ab
sence of one of the Councllmen Interfered.
It Is desired to have the entire body on
: and when the problems are being con
sidered.
Question No. 1 arises from the exhaustion
of the street repair fund. With the jear
Wt little more than half gone there Is nov
a cent beyond $1,000 recently appropriated
on band for the repair of dirt streets. The
$1,000 will no more than suffice to make
some repairs that are needed now. It a
rain should set In and wash out the su
burban streets there would bo no money on
hand to make the needed < repairs and tbo
city would be continually running the risk
of damage suits. Moreover there Is a deficit
on hand and this also will have to be looked
after. City Engineer Rosewater declares
that at least $5,000 will be needed to do the
repairing that past experience has shown
will be absolutely necessary during the re
mainder of the jear , without considering any
special work that the council may want
done. Where to get this money is the
problem.
Question No. 2 concerns itself with the
Fpeclal improvement funds. Every month
bonds and coupons Issued for past Improve
ments are falling due and every month the
funds are shy several thousand dollars of
the amount of the matured obligations. This
Is caused by the failure of property owners
to pay In their assessments , but neverthe
less the obligations must be met as they
fall due or the credit of the city will be
Impaired. Two plans are suggested , one to
Issue special sinking fund warrants that
will draw Interest and tbo other to issue
renewal bonds. There U a question whether
the warrants will be legal and whether the
renewal bond scheme will bo practical.
Question No. 3 relates to the disposition
of the $35,000 paid In by the Bolln bonds
men In settlement of the judgment secured
against them. Some of the councilman want
this money turned Into the general fund and
parts of it used to solve the two other ques
tions that have been mentioned. The ma
jority of the council seem to be of the opin
ion , however , that none of this money
should be used In current expenses , but that
the entire sum should be turned into the
sinking fund of the city to meet bond obli
gations of the city. The money Is as vet In
no fund , although the matter of its disposal
has been considered. Councllmen are dally
besieged by claimants against the'city ask
ing that the money be used in paying out
standing bills.
These are the main questions of a finan
cial character that must be solved In the
near future. There are others of a minor
character. It is very likely that when the
Investigation begins the entire financial con
dition of the city and the condition of all
the funds will be examined.
Special Heetlnir of the Council.
A special meeting of the city council was
held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of
appropriating sufficient money to meet the
obligations of the city that are due on Sep
tember 1. This appropriation was passed.
Councilman Karr also Introduced a resolu
tion which may result in the ultimate tearIng -
Ing up of the wooden pavement on North
Twenty-fourth street , between I/ako and
Spaulding streets , and the refilling of the
street with dirt. This declares that It Is
impossible to get the adjoining property
owners to sign a petition for a new pave
ment and instructed the Board of Public
Works to take up the matter and report
what steps are necessary to put this portion
tion ot the street In passable condition. It
further declared that If the street. Is found
to be Impassable the board be Instructed
to condemn the present paving and order
the removal of the blocks. This resolution
was passed on the condition that the city-
attorney give a written opinion on the mat
ter.
ter.The
The ordinance declaring the necessity of
paving Fortieth street from Farnam to
Jackson street was passed on the third read-
Ing.
Assistant Engineer Stenger was granted
a week's leave of absence.

GALLAGHER AIDS A BOYCOTT
Oiiinhn'n Oil of of Police A l t In
llrrnUlnir Lp .N. Jitliniiun'ft Itrn-
tnnrnnt
The Cooks' and Walters' unions have de
clared war on N. Johnson , proprietor of the
Omaha restaurant , 207 South Twelfth street ,
and Chief Gallagher , Mr. Johnson sajs , is
aiding the unions in their fight to the ruin *
at Ion of his business. The chief has given
lenulsslon to nearly a dozen of the mem-
) ers of the unions to stand In front of his
restaurant and pass cards asking prospective
customers not to patronize the place be
cause the proprietor Is not fair in his
treatment of union men. These men , Mr.
Johnson alleges , also coax customers verb
ally not to enter the place. Not knowing
yesterday morning that the chief had given
lie men the permission to stand In front ot
3 Is place Mr. Johnson said he complained
to the t > ollce. When an officer attempted
o drive the men away they showed him
the permit from the chief. Mr. Johnson
then went before Mayor Moores and com
plained and the major , ho said , issued or
ders to Chief Gallagher to drive the men
away. The order not being obeyed Mr.
Johnson again went to the chief and was
informed by the latter that ho didn't , care
a rap for the mayor's orders and would at
tend to his own business and did not want
the mayor's Interference. He said the men
should stay where they were. Mr. John
son then asked that he be allowed to place
several solicitors on the sidewalk In front
of his restaurant to get business for him
and was told ho could If be would take out
licenses for them. Mr. Johnson says his
business had fallen off 60 per cent slnco
the men took their stations In front of his
place.
The trouble between Johnson and the
unions had its start In his discharge of a
cook , whose place he filled with a non
union man , formerly In his employ , and also
from the fact that he refused to abide by
the union scale of wages. The union called
out the second cook and his four waiters.
These people's places wcro filled by con-
union men.
Mr. Johnson will take the matter before
the police commissioners and it no satis
faction Is given him will serve Injunctions
on the two unions.
WHEN SECOND COMES HOME
Cltlxeim Finn to Give the Soldiers
Itojnl Welcome on Their
Ilcturn to Oniakm.
The preliminary meeting to arrange for
a popular reception on the return of the Second
end Nebraska regiment of volunteers held
at the office of Major Moores last evening
was a success. It was attended by a num
ber of representative citizens and several
patriotic women. Mayor Moores was elected
chairman of the meeting and W. G. Shriver
was chosen secretary.
It was the sense of the meeting that a
mammoth demonstration In honor of the re
turning soldiers should be arranged for the
second day after their return. It wa
stated that the latest advices from Chlcka-
mauga are to the effect that the Second '
Nebraska regiment will not get away before
Monday. This program will bring it Into
Omaha on Wednesday and call for the big
parade and reception on Friday.
It was deemed best not to try to arrange
a reception for the day of the soldiers' re
turn , as the date Is so uncertain and as the
soldiers will arrive on different trains over
different railroads and be taken directly to
Fort Omaha. On their arrival the soldiers
will be formally welcomed by representa
tives of the city and then apprised of the re
ception that will follow later , after they
have had time to rest from their long ride
and get their camp fixed.
It is proposed to Include In the program
of the gala day a parade from Fort Omaha
downtown and through the principal parts
of the city. On the return to the fort a big
lunch will be served the soldiers by the
women of Omaha. There will be brief ad
dresses after the repast and a feature of the
post-prandial exercises will be the sending
a telegram of congratulation to the First
Nebraska regiment at Manila. Mayor
Moores has telegraphed to Colonel Bills of
the Second regiment to learn If the program
proposed is entirely satisfactory to himself
and his soldiers. Another meeting will be
held at the call of the mayor.
FOR BOHEMIAN DAY PARADE
Major Moore * Addrrneii the Cltlsen *

Mayor Moores has Issued the following
proclamation In honor of Bohemian day :

Old IlrldKC Ilreak * Dovrn.
Two men with a team and a load of hay
belonging to J. J. Hurt had a very narrow
escape from death while attempting to cross
the old combination bridge on L street
about two miK-s west of South Omaha yes
terday forenoon.
The bridge there is about eighty feet long
and has been In use for the last eighteen
years. Just as the team and wagon were
half way over the bridge broke down , pre
cipitating the wagon and its load into the
creek. The horses were saved from going
through by some brace beams and rods , but
they became badly tangled up. C. H. Hess ,
Hurt'b manager , was driving and Henry
Demorey was on the load at the time.
They were hurled into the creek and partly
burled beneath the hay in about three feet
of water. Hud the horses not been pre
vented from going through the bridge the
men might have been crushed. As it wa ?
they escaped with a few bruises.
County Commissioner Hector , talking over
the accident jesterday ofternoon , said the
old bridges had served their day and the
county board would sec that all of them
were replaced by good ones as soon as pos
sible.
