THE OMATTA "DAILY BEE : FKTDAY , JUNE 2 , 1809. HAVE AIDED THE EXPOSITION Friendly Office * of GoTernment Official * Haie Been of Material Assistance. NATIVES WILL REPRODUCE THEIR CUSTOMS llcxnnrcrn of the Ncvr Inlnnil Nlorm nnil the Inilnntrlnl Achieve ment * of Atnrrlcn Grncrnlly Will lie IlliiHtriiicil. The Greater America exposition Is to have the co-operation of the heads of several de partments of the government at Washing ton In gathering together representative ex hibits from the now possessions now under military rule. In fact , It has already had material assistance and the work of making up the exhibits from the Island colonies In well on the way toward completion. The cnso with which this work has "been " carried on on account of this kindly Interest on the part of the high officials of the government and the difficulties which would have beset It had they not favored the exposition arc readily apparent. The chief alma to ho followed out In the exhibits from Porto Rico , Hawaii and the Philippines will bo to show as much of the lives of the natives and the resources of the soil as can bo done In this country. The characteristic habitations of the peoples , their Institutions and customs will be re produced with all fidelity to the actual con ditions. The exposition company has com missioners at work In every one of the colonies mentioned and In Cuba In addition. Almost no effort has been made to got ex hibitions from foreign countries , though scv. eral have come without the asking. They have , of courao , been accommodated with space. A distinct feature , however , Is being made of American exhibits and the number of mechanical and technical exhibitors Is al ready over COO. About fifty of these will give their exhibits the form of modcf fac tories. This will naturally too one of the most Interesting and Instructive portions of the whole exposition. The latest develop ments In applied electrical science will bo ehown , some of 'them ' Invented since the ex position of last summer. The successful lighting of the grounds and buildings of lost year will 'be ' amplified , beds of electric flow ers being one of the brilliant features prom ised. The statuary will be better lighted than last year , the arrangements for doing this having already been tested and proved entirely successful. Tvro Mont InJcrcKtliiK FcntttrcH. Two of the features lately added to the list of things that are assured are a Mexican village nnd a plentiful supply of Indians. Strange to say , the familiar American Indian was one of the most popular features of last summer's exposition and there were many who wcro disappointed because the Indian village was not at the exposition longer. A bettor chance will bo nlforded this summer than last to study the InterestIng - Ing wards of the nation. The cash , prizes offered by the exposition for the best county exhibits will Insure a de partment of Importance to the agricultural classes among the visitors. The first prize will be $1,000. There will be three second premiums of $700 each , five third premiums of $600 each , six fourth premiums of $500 each and ten fifth premiums of $400 each. The contest Is open to every county In the United States except Douglas county , Ne braska , nnd the value of the prizes offered , being large enough and numerous enough to reward a great "many , exhibitors for their work , will without doubt attract exceptional exhibits. The Llbby prison wnr collection has ar- It In-what- rivcd-and-the-work-of-Installing - - was last summer the government building will begin as soon ns the structure has been brought Into the best of condition. In addition to the portion of the collection al ready here a great many objects nstoclated with Incidents of the Spanish-American war nre on the way. Bernard Herr of the Eden Musce , New York , a highly skilled artist In the designIng - Ing and modeling of wax figures , has been engaged by E. W. McConnell , concessionaire , to arrange the exhibit for the Moorish Palace. The latest production by Mr. Herr Is said by critics to surpass nil of his former efforts and Is Intended ns a representation of "Tho Crucifixion , " the work consisting of twelve pieces , designed and costumed by Mr. Herr. In Munich , whore ho lived nt ono tlmo , ho received high honors from the government In acknowledgment of his skill as an artist. Since coming to this country ho 'has met with marked favor In eastern art circles , his latest work , "Tho Crucifixion , " being especially admired. PAY TAXES MORE PROMPTLY of the City Troimupcr for Mny of 1800 Hlioir Sulmtuiillul Deputy City Treasurer Fold has made out the regular monthly statement showing the amount of taxes paid In May of this year nnd In the same month of several previous years. The payments for this year show n wonderful Increase for the month just ended over the corresponding period of 1S9S nnd , of course , a still larger ono as compared with the years before last year. The amounts paid In In the month of May in the last four years are as follows : May , 1899 , $52,406.08 ; May , 1898 , $33,373.16 ; May , 1897 , $20,624.28 ; .May. . 1896 , $27,883.61. These figures refer only to regular taxes nnd do not Include special assessments , The figures given above Include not only the amounts paid on the taxes of the current year , 'but all back taxes. That tbo taxpayers are keeping more nearly up to date In their payments Is shown by the fact that the taxes for the year 1899 , collected during the month just closed , amounted to $34,275.83 , whllo the taxes for 1898 coirccted during May last year amounted only to $23,421.27. In other words the taxpayers of the city ran behind $10Sr > l.CC less during May nf 1R98 than they did during the corresponding month of this year.

COMES INTO A NEAT FORTUNE Widow of linn * \Vln or Flndu Thnt Hpr Ijfito llaxlinnil Wn * n. Itlch .Mnn , Hans Wlttgors , an old resident of Omaha , who died the other day , left quite a snug fortune to hln heirs , much more than his wife supposed. It turns out that ho was worth over $40,000 , the greater part of which his wlfo knew nothing about until after her husband's death , Wlggers wan In the ealoon business at 1520 Dodge street. He and his family have HvcJ at 203 North Twenty-third street , where stands a neat and comfortable cot tage. Mrs. Wlggors was never the con fidant of her husband In regard to business affairs nnd knew of no other property ho owned than the home. An towhat the buolnesB was worth she was entirely Ignorant. But a brother of Wlggers , who came to attend the funeral , knew that Wl - Rcrs had been in business all his life and that ho was a saving man. Ho therefore did not believe that the house and lot where the homo was wcro all the property his brother had left. Upon Investigation ho found that there was an account In ono of the national banks amounting to $20,000 , and property about the city worth $15,000 In his brother'o name. The home Is worth about $8,000 more , so that Mrs. Wlggors , Instead of hav ing merely a roof over her head , Is possessed of ample means. HEARD ABOUT TOWN. General Manager BWwell of the Elkhorn , who has Just returned from a trip to the Hawaiian Islands , nays that travel from the Pacific coast to Honolulu Is Increasing so rapidly that It Is taxing the capacity of the present transportation facilities In that direction. New steamers , however , are rapidly being put In commission. Every comfort awaits the traveler , both In transit and In the Islands. "Tho people of the Islands have so little tlo ability to take care of themselves that they have lost all control of the lands and all the other property which was formerly theirs. The Chinese and Japanese have virtually taken commercial possession and had It not been for the annexation of the Islands , " added Mr. Bldwell , "tho Chinese or the Japanese would have driven the na tives out of existence. The production of sugar has lately been considerably in creased nnd within the next year will bo still further Increased , probably as much as 100 per cent. Sugar plantations nro valuable property. One worth $3,000,000 was recently put on the market and three times the amount of Its value was soon subscribed to buy It , from the Islands alone. "Tho temperature has a variation the whole year round of only about 27 degrees , so that the climate 'becomes ' monotonous to anyone used to that of the United States.

[ ILLINOIS CENTRAL COMING Tearing Up of Terminal Company's Tracks Will Not Affect It , NEW ROAD TO USE UNION PACIFIC TRACKS I'renlilcnt Unrt Given Tliln Out n * n Punitive Knot III * Ciiiiiimny linn Slmnl ) ' Tnkcii 1'onncKnlon of Itn Own Property. John R , Webster , general manager of the Drldgo and Terminal company , stated yesterday that there was nothing the officers of his company could say at this tlmo about the Union Pacific's action In tearing up the Terminal company's tracks , a'nd begged to bo excused from discus sing the matter. Ho would say nothing about the arrangements made or con templated hy the Illinois Central. Ho ln > ttmated , however , that the non-payment of a purchase price or rental of the property In dispute wan not the real reason for the action of the Union Pacific In tearing up the tracks. President H , 0. Durt of the Union Pa cific railroad emphatically denies that the oclzuro of trackage laid by the terminal company can have any possible effect on the plans of the Illinois Central In regard to entering Omaha. "There Is nothing to this matter , " ho declared , "beyond the fact that the terminal company was on our land and we took possession of It. " In reply to a direct question whether the Union Pacific company had not already In KB possession a contract with the Illinois Central by which the latter road agreed to use the Union Pacific depot and bridge , President Durt answered In the negative , but ho added : "The Illinois Central will come In due tlmo and It will come over our tracks. You may Bay that positively. " Further than this the official declined to bo Interviewed. Other Union Pacific officials declined to discuss the matter In any particular. They paid that President Burt was the only man who know the facts , and any Information must'como directly from him. Northwontcm MnUrn n Gnoil Showing. CHICAGO , Juno 1. At the annual meetIng - Ing of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad held hero today the Board of Directors sub mitted the following statement for the year ended May 31 , which was adopted : Gross earnings , $37,933,299 ; operating expenses , $23,592,382 ; Interest on bonds , $6,232,195 ; taxes and revenue tax stamps , $1,168,971 ; sinking fund , $202,000 ; Interest paid In ad vance of maturity on bonds , $138,745 , leav ing a total net Income of $7,142,681 , from which Is deducted $3,528,270 , paid out In dividends of 7 per cent on preferred and 5 per cent on common stock , leaving n sur- plua for the year over nil charges ( land income not Included ) of $3.619,411 , a net Increase of $1,300,493 over last year. A con siderable portion of the surplus has already been expended on track elevation In Chicago cage and for other Important works of construction. The retiring directors , W. K. Vnnderbllt , F. W. A'nndcrbllt , H. McK Tworabley , Byron L. Smith , Cyrus McCormlck nnd John I. Blair , were all re-elected. Through Illnlnic Cnr Service. F. A. Wadlelgti , ; eniral passenger an.l ticket agent of the Rio Grande Western road , has notified the Omaha passenger official's that the dining car service has been extended on the road ho represents so that now It Is complete from Chicago to Salt Lake. Hitherto the transcontinental dining car service on this route has existed only be tween Chicago and Denver. This Is simply another number In the seriesof , lmproye- ments made In the passenger accommoda tions of western lines , through which the west has been attracting the attention of the railroad world. Ellclioru Knilronil Election. CHICAGO , Juno 1. H. R.

The four assessors have just about com pleted their labors and the books will have to bo turned over to the county clerk by noon on Juno 10. When the assessors went to work It was thought that possibly the valuation of the city might be Increased to $2,000,000 , but judging from the Incom plete returns , this figure will not be reached. It appears that tbo assessors followed closely after last year's assessment , except In caeca where new buildings had been erected or noticeable Improvements hnd been made. Last year the valuation was $1,847,000 , and It Is possible that this year It may reach $1,900,000. The corpoiatlons have not been raised to any alarming extent and the Increase In valuation will conic from now residence nnd business blocks. The city council will sit as a board of equalization on the 1899 assessment for three days , commencing June 19. All complaints of property owners In regard to the assess ment tnu t bo 'filed ' with the board during this session. On July 3 the council will meet for the purpose of making the annual levy. levy.What What the levy will be this year Is tnero conjecture until It Is known positively what the valuation will be. Last year a 56 mill levy was made , while the year before the city managed to worry along with a ! ! ' . mill lovy. Of the 1898 levy 10V4 mills , $25,000 , went to pay accumulated judgments. Some nro of the opinion that with a little Increase In valuation a 45 mill levy will .ho Hiifflclent to pay the running expenses of the city for the coming fiscal year , as no heavy Judgments are now outstanding. It Is reported , hjwevcr , that certain members of the council favor cutting the levy way down , In order to give tbo taxpayers a let-up , as for the last three years the levy has been high. More money Is required every year to run. . the city departments , as the amount of work , to bo done Is constantly growing. Aa the legislature failed to take any action In regard to nllowlnc an Increase Ifo the police and flre funds , the council will re main bound by the old law and make a Iqvy of 5 mills for police purposes and 3 mills for the flro department. The rapid growth of the city naturally calls for an Increase In both the fire nnd police depart ments , hut under the law the council cato levy only so much. Tills law causes an overlap In 'both ' the flro and police funds every year , but It cannot well bo helped , as the people demand police and flre pro tection. In addition to the city levy will bo added at least 20 mills for school purposes. This school levy could be reduced 5 or 8 mills by voting bonds for a now High school building , but as the tlmo for making the levy Is so * near. It Is hardly probable that anything can be done In this direction be fore the levy Is made. There has been n great deal of talk about calling a special election for the purpose of obtaining an expression from the taxpayers on the bond question , but nothing has been done. Mem bers of the Board o [ Educatlo'n do not feel Inclined to take the matter up nnd submit ' a bond proposition without first haying I POmo AKsuranco that the question would I carry , or at least the Assurance that the people realize the necessity for a High school building. Slock YnrilN IlnnlncKn Increnfte. Huslncjs at the stock yards Is dally on the Increase and last month was the- busiest May In some years past. The receipts of cattle for May numbered 68,000 held as com pared with 66.000 during May of 189S and 66,000 for May , 1807. A much larger In crease Is shown In hog receipts , as during the month 220,000 hogs -wore marketed here. Hog receipts In May a. year ago were 181,000 nnd 170,000 for May , 1897. The Increase as compared with May , 1898 , Is 39,000. While ehecp receipts held up remarkably well considering that all shipments are late this Reason n decrease as compared with last year Is shown. H Is expected that this de crease will bo more than made up by heavy receipts of sheep this month. Packers Took for a largo number of hogs this month and It Is predicted that the receipts will exceed those of iMay. Proposition for Pnrklnpr. There has been considerable talk lately about parking Twenty-.thlrd street from F to J , nnd In some way the Impression prevails that the residents on the etrect desire that the city at large pay for the proposed Im provement. This Is wrong , as no such sug gestion has been mado. Those who reside In the district which It Is proposed to park tl calro that the curb line nnd the lot line too moved so as to reduce the 'width of the street from eighty to thirty-two feet. This will leave a space twenty-four feet In width between the curb line and the lot line for sidewalks and lawns. All the property own ers want Is for the city council to lake the necessary steps to have the new curb line laid out nnd pass such ordinances as may be necessary for the narrowing of the roadway. In case the contemplated Improvements are made the abutting property will pay the cost ! An to Smiilnr About three dozen saloonkeepers met nt the hall over 2501 N street Wednesday after noon for the purpose of talking over the Sunday closing rule which .Mayor Ensor Is at present enforcing. An attorney was pres ent to glvo advice In the matter and when the question under discussion was passed ur to him he produced a copy of the statutes and read the Slocum law for the benefit oi the liquor dealers. After the' state law had been read some of the saloonkeepers came to the conclusion that they were pretty well oft now as compared wlthi what they would be should the mayor take It Into his head tc enforce every provision of the law. No do- clslon wis arrived at and as far as the liquor dealers are concerned the matter stands just where It was before the meeting was held. Hol < l l'i by Five Men. Last evening at 9 o'clock Albert Hunter , while on his way home , was suddenly con fronted by five men near his house at Twenty-seventh and Front streets and robbed of his watch and ring and a small amount of money.

Dan Cameron , superintendent of the Cud- ahy Packing company , returned yesterday from Kansas City , where ho spent several days looking after the erection of Cudahy's new plant. Mr. Cameron said , that 200 men were now nt work clearing the site. Ho thinks It will be fully two months before building operations can be commenced.

Stamp sales at the postofllco here last month amounted to $4,107.99. This Is nn Increase as compared with the correspond ing month of last year , but not quite BO largo as for February of this year. The postofflce officials Took for n big increase In receipts this month , ns several largo or ders for stamped envelopes have already been sent In. The following building permits were Is sued Thursday : Selmn Rehfcld , cottage , Twenty-ninth and R streets ; John Zavrcl , cottage , Twenty-third and S streets ; A.

The men had been working their pugilistic will upon each other's countenances , but when the police arrived they Joined forces nnd put up a fight that made the efforts of four policemen necessary for their arrest. Kelly conceived tbo Idea of biting n chunk out of Patrol Conductor's Fahey's face and he made the attempt.
