Many of the business men of Iloston who
have visited the Transmlaelsslppl
ExposlPO
tlon this summer have been Interviewed on
their return by the Boston Herald and
their impressions form an Interesting aymth
poslum. All agree In expressing surprise
and admiration for the extent and magnlfiTli
ccnco of the exposition. Uoston's shoe trade
with Omaha , according to the Herald ,
amounts to J2.000.000 per annum. Most of
the visitors combined business with pleasure
nnd had nn overflowing measure of both.
The Interviews are ns folows :
"I have seen all the great fairs held
In Europe In recent years , " said M. S.
Hardenbrook of 13. S. Woodbury & Co. , 103
Summer street , "tho I'arla exposition , as
well ns fairs % ln Belgium and Germany , and
this Omaha exposition compares favorably
with any of them. Indeed , I like it better
than anything 1 have Keen In Europe. It IB
not as extensive aa the World's Fair at
Chicago , but it pleased mo quite as well.
I am sure that the electrical exhibit sur-
passes anything ever Been. It is too bad
that eastern people do not know more about
this fair , for it la well worth a trip west to
ECO It. "
AurcL-nlily Surprised.
F. C. Miller of J. II. Ireland & Co. , 129
Summer strecot , Mid : "To mo some fea
tures of the Omaha exposition are more
attractive than similar ones nt the Chicago
fair. I was very much taken with this
Bhow , surpassing , as It did in every partlcwl
ular , my expectation. I think if the qunlth
Ity of this exposition wcro better understood
here , It would bo patronized by more New
England people. It Is certainly a marvelous
undertaking which the people of Omaha
have In hand and they deserve the help and
encouragement of the east. "
Martin Howard of I3oyd & Corey , 130 Sumof
iner street : "Tho Omaha exposition would
most naturally bo compared with the At42
lanta and Nashville fairs , and as I visited
both of these I know something of their
relative worth. The truth Is that they were
not In the same class with Omaha. Perth
Bonally , I like this fair better than the Cocl
lumblan exposition. The buildings are as
beautiful , the grounds are more attractive
and whllo the exhibits nro not so extensive
and elaborate , they contain all that nest
men care 'to ' see. The finest spectacle I have
ever witnessed is the Omaha exposition
lighted at night. The electrical display la
magnificent. I spent two days there , lookto
Ing over the exposition carefully , and was
charmed by its beauty and magnificence ,
No eastern man 'traveling ' west sho.ild fail
to see this fair. "
Charles K. Cran. , Ifi3 Summer street ; "I
did not vliilt the Chicago fair , and of course
can maku 1.0 . comparison with It , but It
must bo about r.s crutKtaMo an undertaking
as was over carried out In this coiintiy. It
is a wonderful achievement for those people
beyond the Mississippi , For myself , I can
soy that I was unprepared > to find the ex
position BU extensive , complete nnd mag
nificent. "
J. H. Walker , 111 Summer street : "H Is
the most magnificent thing I have ever seen.
In my opinion It exceeds in beauty the
World's fair. The groupings of the buildD
Vings. their ornamentation ami the details of
jthcir construction are finer than the World's
( Tfalr. It strikes mo that our eastern people
have in a do a great mistake In not being
better represented there. There Is no shoo
exhibit there from New England , as there
certainly should be. IJoston has a large
trade with Omaha , and wo should not have
neglected the opportunity to make a fine
display there. The western nnd central
country are now manufacturing a good many
Bhoes , and they have exhibits there. The
cast has not understood the importance pf
this exposition , which Is really ono of the
greatest shows ever held In this country.
Everyone who has seen it must bo Im
pressed by the enterprise and capacity of
the people who conceived It and are carry
ing it on. "
A Credit to the AVpMt.
"It will bo an everlasting credit to the
people of the west who got It up , " said
H. H. Shaw , 123 Summer street. "The
exposition Is grand from every point of
view. Whllo It Is largely confined to a
display of the products of the transmls-
elsslppl states , It exhibits the progress of
the times In every line of useful Inven
tion. "
H. H. Dodge of Dodge Ilrothers , New-
buryport : "I attended the exposition , nnd
am glad to bo able to say that I was
charmed with It In every way. The spec
tacle at night Is fully up to the World's
fair , and no higher praise of its beauty
can bo offered. "
A. W. Shaw , 29 Lincoln street : "I wish
to say that my visit to the Omaha ex
hibition was a great surprise to me. I
went out expecting to see It nil at a glance
nnd get back In time to take the 4:20 : train
for St. Joseph. Instead , I stayed until 10
p. m. on the grounds , and was so well
pleased that I wanted to put In another
day. Omaha Is entitled to great credit
for such a great show , and to have ex
celled the World's fair In the electrical dis
play is truly wonderful. "
Frank 0. Pratt of N. D. Thayer & Co. ,
103 IJedford street : "Considering where It
Is being held , so far away from other large ;
cities , It Is really n wonderful show. The
ien
government exhibit Is , 1 think , better than >
that at the World's fair , Inasmuch as It Is
not so largo and It Is easier to comprehend
oil. The eletctrlc lights , the buildings nnd
the. lagoon make up as fine a sight as I ever
saw. When 1 was out there the railroads
had not done a thing. I asked the passenger
iat
ger agent of ono of the railroads what
was the reason , and bo told mo that they
intended to wait until they could get larger
.
crowds , nnd then offer excursion rates , Wo
wcro all pleased with the exposition , as a
whole. The Manufactures bulldlns was
not so good as some of the others , but the
J
Government , Electrical and Agriculture
buildings were very fine. Massachusetts ,
has no building , but the transralsslfulppl
states and some of the southern states were
represented. "
TinKlpuirlpnl I > lt1ny.
Charles H. Swan of Clapp & Taplcy. 103
Bedford street : "I was nt the exposition one
afternoon and the- whole of the evening , and
I thought It was a good exhibition. The Illumination
IIaa
lumination at the lagoon In the evening was
very fine and as good , on a smaller scale ,
le.nt
ns that of the World's fair. Good Judgment ;
was shown In the selection of the government
ment exhibit , which was very fine , as was
also the agricultural display. The attendance
was light In thu afternoon , but In the even
ing tbo place was packed. I think In Sep
tember and October they will have a very
largo attendance , as the farmers have been
busy harvesting their crops and could not
get Into Omaha. In the two next months
they will have cot their grain all In. Those
Massachusetts exhibits which I saw weio
Urst-class and compared favorably wUh dis
plays from other states , except In variety.
F. I1. Klrkendall and his committee are en
titled to great credit for tbo manner snIn
which they have laid out the grounds and
constructed the buildings , The effect of the
electrical lighting in the evening wa * grand.
\
The system WHS n simple
one ; they did not
overdo < It. "
OVHe John H. Davis of S. J. Holiu f. Co. . 103
Hertford
street : "The agricultural c.thlMt
at the Omaha exposition has. I think , nnvcr
been equalled. It was considered far better
the that at the World's fair. Tim govern
me exhibit was alao
very fine. The fhow
was not perhaps advertised a extensively
09 It might have been , but anybody having
the leisure to go there would be amplv re
paid ! by the visit. There was a very good 1t-
tendance when I was there and I th'nk they
will come out all right. The horticulture
exhibit I was an excellent one. The Court of
Honor was one of the most beautiful things
at night that I ever saw. "
A representative of the firm of C. S. Fuller
& Co. , 27 Lincoln "
street , said : "As an ex
position , I thought It very creditable , In
deed. ' From what I saw , I think It will be
successful. I was at the Nashville fair and
this ! erne seemed to bo fully as large. In
tin evening the show was a grand one.
The electrical display was ahead of that at
the World's Fair. "
Hotter Tim n Inspected.
A. n. Lelghton , 1 Lincoln street"It :
was a great deal better than I anticipated.
I think ' the Omaha people have put ti great
deal of Interest in It and are making It
a grand success. You will find that the
Boston men who wcro there were more
than pleased.
The electrical display was
nearly as good as that at Chicago. They
have an exhibit of the blowing up of the ,
Maine there , put In since I left , and I am
told that It Is very fine. Some of the war
exhibits have been placed since I was there.
Mr. ' ' Klrkendall was very enthusiastic over
the show. The railroads were not making
any concessions and that hurt the fair
somewhat , but now , I understand , It Is
different , nnd they will have n much larger
crowd than they had. "
C. W. Hamilton of Stowe-Bllls & Hawlcy
company , 42 Lincoln street : "It Is an exact
reproduction of the World's Fair In minia
ture. I was there on Sunday , when a good
The last time I saw the spot was In the
winter | nnd they wcro planting trees , n fact
which caused some persons to laugh at
the landscape architect. Now one would
think that they had been planting nnd
cultivating the grounds for the last ten
years. These grounds are very fine , as are
also the buildings , particularly the .Agricul .
ture building. Mr. Klrkendall deserves a
great deal of credit for his management
of the grounds and buildings. "
42 Lincoln street : "Mr. Klrkendall told mo
that they had a good attendance and that
the show paid from the first. Of course , It
appeals more to the transmlsslsslppl states
than those In the east and south. The
electrical exhibition was away ahead of Ihe
Chicago one. "
E. S. Strand of M. C. Cram & Co. , 82
Lincoln street : "It Is a very line show.
The buildings are placed around the la
goon and they have a splendid .electrical
exhibition In the evening. They told mo
that they expected larger crowds In Sep
tember and October than In the summer
months. The weather was dry and hot
when I was there , but there was a very
good ( attendance , notwithstanding. "
C. C. Travctt of Brewer & Parker , 117
Summer street : "I was there from Friday
until Sunday evening and I think the show
was better than that held at Nashville.
n was very fine , with the electrical display
In | the evening and the Agriculture building
was ono of the good features. Many places
there were being filled up when I came
away. It was the opinion that the attend
ance In the last two mouths September
and October would bo better than It had
been slnco the opening of the exposition. "

, V very Interesting exposition from Dr.
C. S. Case of Chicago , In the section of
orthodontla , on the principles of force nnd
anchorage In the movement of teeth was
listened to. Dr. Case had everything neces

the shape of models and appliances. His
Idea Is that by I means of pressure facial de
fortuities dui to the defects of teeth can
be corrected.
A further elaboration by Dr. Case of his
process of curing dental defects by means
of applied pressure took up most of the afternoon -

The populist primaries to select delegates
to attend the county convention next Sat
urday were held last evening from the
hour of 7 to 0 o'clock. They attracted
little Interest , and there was no contest
except possibly upon some Individual who
may seek to go as a delegate. The popu
lists seem to be taken up too much with
the scheme of the democrats to shut them
out of the legislative ticket to think much
of booming any member of the party for
any of the offices which nro to bo filled this
fall. On this question they are touchy , and
whllo those who are looked to os leaders of
the party hesitate to say much that Is defi
nite in regard to what counter action they
will take , the lesser lights are frank In
stating that If the democrats carry out their
plan there will bo a third ticket In the
John O. Yclser Is more emphatic. Ho says :
"I do not pretend to speak for anyone but
myself , hut I will not stand such treatment.
I would favor the populists nominating can
didates for such n. portion of a ticket as
they think they nro entitled to , and give
the democrats the alternative of refusing
to endorse It or Invite disaster to the whole
ticket. We are entitled to the same recog
nition as wo received two years ago , when
we were allowed to name one-third of the
ticket. I may not be a delegate to the con
vention , but I will act Independently In re-
sentlng ' what I consider to bo injustice. "
George A. Maguey says : "I am afraid
there will be trouble at the conventions
Saturday. The populists will want the con
ventions to proceed as they have done here
tofore , but J understand the democrats are
opposed to such action. We should have the
same recognition we received two years ago ,
and anything less Is sure to provoke dis
sension. Personally I do not care so much l
about the matter , being willing to give the
democrats almost anything they ask for ,
but I know that our conventions as they
are usually made up will never consent to
'tb _ plan the democrats seem to bo working
upon. "
V. 0. Strlckler : "I do not believe the
democrats will carry out the plan about
wj
which wo are hearing BO much now. I be
llcvo better counsel will prevail in that
party. There is too much at stake to risk
defeat by such
conduct. The populists are
entitled > to Just
treatment , and If they are
not accorded it there may bo other tickets
In the lleld. IJut I will wait till the conven
tions meet.
Elmer E. Thomas : "It is a hard matter
to say what action our convention will
take , bat It Is safe to predict there will
be a warm time and lots of talk. However ,
bew believe that In the end the convention
will ! endorse the candidates nominated by
the democrats. The irlnorlty
thm , though , will
make a largo amount of noise before it
submits : and it
will bo an Interesting con
vention. For my part I care but little
who the nominees may bo BO long ns they
arc good men and those we can elect. "
P. P. Burke : "It isn't so much a ques
tion how many places on the ticket we
get as It Is who nominates the candidates
for those positions. I do not believe the
democrats will take that privilege to them
selves and nm not borrowing trouble from
the future. Wo will Insist on naming our
ca , whether they be two or more ,
nt I doubt if there will bo any opposition
teat that plan. "
John C. TIcrney : "If the populists do
atPI they have done In the past they wll
probably submit to democratic dictation ,
haul : In their horns nnd growl. Dut for
myself , I will fight them If I have to stand
alone. We are entitled to our share of
the ticket and will nominate our own men.
We have some good men In our party who
would like to go to the legislature anil
who would add strength to the ticket. We
will not consent to having them turned
down In favor of others who may enjoy a
temporary spell of popularity with the
democratic machine. It IB difficult to say
what the convention will do , but I cannot
bo used to bolster up any Job such as the
democrats are now trying to perpetrate. "
It Is believed a majority of the delegate
elected last evening will vote In the con
vcntlon next Saturday for fusion at any
price. The Third ward will present Lewi
V. Guyo as a candidate for the legislature
and if It can get him on the democratic slat
It will be content to acquiesce In whateve
else may be done.
South TwL-iity-Fotirtii Street Vlnilnct
The ordinance Introduced at the las
meeting of the city council declaring th
necessity for a viaduct over the rallroai
tracks on South Twenty-fourth street I
simply a step taken toward the fulflllmen
of a promise made years ago to the prop
erty owners on the thoroughfare If the In
tentlon to force the railroads to erect sue !
a structure Is buna tide and not merely
bluff.
Some eight years ago the council declare
B similar necessity. In preparation for th
structure South Twenty-fourth street was
graded , the cuts in some Instances being
many : feet In depth and the fills about as
great. Some of the property owners waived
damages ; others brought suit for damages.
The legal cases were decided against the
property owners , the courts holding that
the city had a right to do such grading
without paying damages when It proposed
to make such a public improvement as a
viaduct.
After the grading was completed the rail
roads fenced In the two ends of the street
co that their tracks could not bo crossed.
They refused to station any flagman at the
crossing. Before the roads and the city
locked horns over the matter the Eleventh
street viaduct case had reached the supreme
court and matters were allowed to He quies
cent until a final determination of the ques
tlons in the case were rendered. Now that
the decision has been given , the ordinance
Is the preliminary atop toward the building
of the viaduct.

LEANING OF CONSOLIDATION
run Trnilc ItiMliMv Comment * on
l.ntc Development * lit Iron
Iiidnxlry ,
CLEVELAND , O. , Sept. 1. The Iron Trade
R levlew this week , commenting on the big
tccl consolidation , says : U Is a product
f events In the Iron and steel world rather
hau an effort to control events. It Is a
art of the evolution In the Iron Industry
athcr than an attempt to bring about a
evolution. If It has an appearance of 11.x-
11h for aggression it is only on the theory
hat a war status Is the surest means of
ircservlug peace. When the Carnegie Steel
ire
ompany became a miner of ere on a largo
cale and arranged with the Rockefeller In-
crests for carrying Its ere at a low figure ,
luctuatlng only within narrow limits , , the
ry of monopoly went up ; but no move ever
made In the history of Iron and steel nianu-
acturo was more plainly the product of nn
Qn
ntensely competitive regime. The Federal
Steel company Is ono of the later results
f the entrance of the Carncglo Steel com-
iany upon the Mesaba and Gogeblc ranges.
\n Immediate result was that ore contracts
nt Chicago wcro written with the nrlco
lauso based on the mining cost of the Pltts-
) urg company , and it was only a step from
such . an arrangement to an organic union
of the Illinois Steel company and the
company from which , because of common
stockholders , it made its largest purchases
of ore.
The prominence of Standard Oil stock-
lolders In the now deal has been construed
. n some quarters as'significant of close
future relations between the two dominant
mining . . and transportation corporations of
he Mcsaba range. And It has been only a
step from this Inference to thr conclusion
.hat the Standard Oil Interest In the Lake
Superior consolidated mines and the DCS-
semcr Steamship company might facilitate
an ' understanding between the Important
i'lttsburg customer of the two latter com
panies and the now company. There Is good
reason to doubt the correctness of any such ,
Burmlse. The Indications nro that the com
petition In ere between the two leading In-
; crcfit3 of the Mcsaba range will be just as
Intcnso as It has ever been.
The plans of the Federal Steel company
illow for the addition of other Interests
whoso Inclusion would be mutually ad
vantageous. Should there be no outcome of
the tentative effort toward further absorp- i
tlon , It Is to bo expected that outside moves
will be made , bringing other steel works and
ere producers into closer relations. The com
ing year bids fair to see some Interesting
events of this nature.

DEADWOOD , S. I ) . . Sept. 1. ( Special. )
Considerable Interest Is belns taken In the
Ragged Top mining district and the Iramc-
dlnto vicinity. In the operations of the
Spcarflsh CynnlJe company , recently organ-
IzeJ. It Is composed principally of experi
enced mining men of Ragged Top who have
lof.Bcd the Metnlllc Streak group of seven
claims In Calamity gulch. Across all of the
claims Is found n body of ore three feet
thick , which Is a surface working and will
carry nn average of $10 a ton gold. It Is
a cyanldlug proposition. The company has
leased an old stucco mill at Spenrflsh , which
has been remodeled and a long addition
built for a cyanldo plant.
The tanks have all been put In place and
the first ore will be treated this week. The
capacity will bo about twenty-five tons a
day.
Drifting has commenced on the Crown
Hill mlno nt a depth of seventy feet , A
good body of low grade ore Is being followed
which will assay $12 a ton gold. The com
pany has purchased flve acres of land and a
two-story house at the Spokane mine , In
Custcr county. The house will be converted
Into a hotel. A complete hoisting plant has
been ordered and will be set up In a few
days. The whim , now In use nt the Spokane ,
will bo taken to the Crown Hill mine. As
soon as the hoisting plant Is finished at
the Spokane mine , It Is the Intention of the
company to sink one of the shafts at the
Crown Hill mine down to quartzlte , where
rich ore will undoubtedly bo found.
Work Is to be resumed on the shaft oppo
site Chinatown by the AJax Mining com
pany , composed of capitalists residing at
I'lne nidge agency. A steam hoist Is to bo
put In capable of sinking COO feet. The
shaft Is already down eighty feet , which was
started on a scam of free-milling ore. The
property Is to be thoroughly developed.
A four-foot ledge of ere has been struck
on the McHtish lease of the Dakota Maid
property , In Strawberry gulch. The ore Is
very rich , equal to that taken from the Gilt
Edge mine. Work has commenced this
week on the Graham & Locklo lease , south
of McHugh'HorVnna. . Ore Is being lnltn :
out of the Marrow shaft , on the same prop
erty.

A complete hoisting plant lias been or
dered for "the " Dlsuiarck mine at Keystone ,
which la owned by a Milwaukee company.
This proposition promises to bo one of the
best In 'tho ' southern hills. The working
shaft Is down 100 feet , with three levels , and
on each level a body of ore has been cross
cut which Is from 'twenty ' to forty-two feet
wide. There Is some free gold In the ore ,
but Is Is considered a concentrating proposi
tion. A thousand tons of ere have been run
as a test through the Ingram stamp mill
with good results. It is the Intention to
build a stamp mill on the company's prop
crty.

The shaft In the Holy Terror mine Is
being enlarged to three compartments , the
work being started with nn upraise from
the 600-foot level. As soon as the Holy Tcr-
ror and Keystone mines are completed the
ore from the latter will be raised through
the Holy Terror shaft and run back to the
Keystone mill on a tramway. Twenty addl
tlona ! stamps are being put In the Key
stone mill. The prospect Is .that Keystone
will be a largo camp In a short time. It Is
today ono of the most prosperous mining
camps In the hills. There Is a large pay
roll of miners and no men out of work.
A rich body of ere has been struck in the
Ben Hur mine near Terry. The vein has
not been fully determined in size , although
nine feet of good pay ere Is In sight. Some
of the ere will go as high as $52 a ton. Ship
ments will commence next week.
The Mogul mine , owned by the Horseshoe
company , at Terry still has the same width
of ore body , 100 feet w'ldo and ten feet
thick. It Is estimated that there Is ore In
sight to iflbt ten years at 'the ' present rate
of mining. Owing to a scarcity of water at
the t Klldonan chlorlnatton plant at Pluma ,
owned by 'this company , only 100 tons of
ore , arc being treated per day Instead of the
full capacity , 160 tous.
A three-foot ledge of free milling ore has
been struck on some property owned by
Nicholas McKay In the Yamboua district In
'tho ' southern hills. The ore Is $15 free millIng -
Ing and J20 refractory. There Is conslder-
able activity In this now camp and numerous
Inquiries are coming from eastern capital
Ists ' in regard to prospective sales.

The Jobs are there If the old men want
