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.

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.

Hans Wlttgors , an old resident of Omaha ,
who died the other day , left quite a snug

wife supposed. It turns out that ho was
worth over $40,000 , the greater part of which

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. "

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.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
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.

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 !

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.

Joe Connolly and Barney Kelly , two hoboes
bees , were nrrcsted Thursday night at Bur-
dish's saloon , Tenth and Davenport streets ,
for disturbing the peace by fighting. 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. Ills Jaws came together
with a sound like the snaj > of a steel trap ,
but Officer Ryan Jerked film back In tlmo
to prevent Injury. Kelly then fastened his
teeth In the officer's arm mil hu had to bo
muzzled with a handkcrcbUf before he could
be token Into the patrol Vngon. Connolly
Is the man who assaulted Iietcctlvo Jorgen-
Ken wHh a pair of brass knuckles Wednes
