Friday these promoters meters were gloomy and despondent on ac count of the fact that but n few hundred paying pcoplo were upon the grounds. Yes terday they were happy and hopeful , because tt required four figures to record the num ber ot persons who passed the gates. The day was perfect , ono of these Ideal summer ilars unknown to almost every section ot the country except Nebraska. The heat was not oppressive , and then there * as a do- llghtful breeze , just enough to act In motion the leaven of the trees upon the grounds and make sightseeing a pleasure. There wcro few strangers upon the grounds. In fact there were few people there during the morning hours , but after the t hops and wholesale houses closed , many P./ / of the employes came out for an after noon's outing. KKclicnliolonlrei. . The executive committee of the exposi tion found business on hand that required the attention of the members during a greater portion of the day. They went into session during the early morning , and In the afternoon they hold another meet ing , at both of which ways and means for pulling out of the mire wcro discussed. Early in the cession J. D. Kitchen , of the Department of Admissions , was called upon the carpet and kept there for half an hour. Before getting off he offered the most hum- bin apology to Manager II. J. Penfold of the Conceptions department , -which was ac cepted. The Incident which -brought about the apology was this : Some days ago Mr. Tenfold was Instructed to organize a com- mlttco for the entertainment ot dlstln- gulshcd guests who may como to the ex position during tbo summer. Mr. I'cnfold was given twonty-flvo blank passes with In struction to Insert the names of the twenty- flvo women whom ho might select. Ho se lected the women and reported the names to Mr. Kitchen. The next day Kitchen posted the names at each of the exposition gates , instructing that the passes bo taken up when presented. It happened that none of the women visited the grounds that day and consequently they were spared the hu miliation that otherwise would have been heaped upon them. Kitchen declared that it was a mistake ; that ho forgot about the passes and would never do so again. Hnoo Track Scheme * In Dropped , After pouring $5,000 into a rat hole the members of the executive committee have allowed their better Judgment to como to the front , and they have abandoned a schema that they conceived some weeks ago. At the tlmo referred to some of the members ot the executive committee con cluded that It would bo a great thing to have a race track upon the grounds. Ac cordlngly , they went to work and since then they have spent the sum named In putting in a race track on that portion of the grounds occupied by the Indian congress and the live Block show last year. They have had graders there for weeks , making ono of the finest tracks in..tho country , but suddenly they have awakened to the realiza tion that It is not the easiest thing in the world to secure racing attractions. They have discovered that all the horses of any note nro booked for the season , and that they are going to the regular meets. At the pnmo tlmo they have learned that few of the speedy wheelmen ot the country are at liberty to como here , as the dates for all ot the races and road meets have been mado. This accounts for the abandonment ot work upon the race track. Children' * Dny * . The executive committee has decided to try the experiment ot having children's days , when all children under 15 years of age will be admitted to the grounds free of charge. The first of the occasions , will bo next Wednesday , when all the Omaha boyn and girls will bo passed through the gates , On the following. Wednesday the South Omaha children will como and on the Wednesday following that the lads and lassies from Council Bluffs will'bo here Up to this tlmo no plau has been perfected for their entertainment , but It Is likely that ' thcro will bo day and night fireworks , with lots of music. If the plan of carding days for the Omaha South Omaha and Council Bluffs children proves to bo a winner It will bo followed up with epcclal days when the little ones from Lincoln , Fremont and other towns will bo brought hero and given a good time. Last year the Transnilsslsslppi Exposition managers made a great bit by setting aside days when they would entertain the young folks of this and other cities. The offi cial's ot the present exposition propose to profit by their experience and bring in as many of the -children as possible. Yesterday was another occasion when the RINGWORM ON BABY'S FACE Mother Ashamed toTake Him Out , Everything Failed to Cure. CUTICURA Cured in 3 Days.

During the morning hours the Indian band got together and the boys marched around the Lngoon , playing as they went. However , they were out at such an early hour that Iherc was no one upon the grounds to hear the music , aside from the employes and ex hibitor * . They played as well as they could under the circumstances. Later in the day , when the ofllclnls heard of the concert that had been given , they tried to ascertain who gave orders for the early music , but were unable to do so. The fact of the Indian band being called out at such an early hour In the morning Is likely to bring abnul a change In the matter of arranging the program for the day. In the past thcro has been on ono responsible for the program. Some officer would formulate the card of features and nn hour later another official would como along and change the whole thing , so that nobody has ever known what the program would bo until after Its rendition. After this It Is likely that the formation ot the program will be in the hands of one man and all others will keep their hands off. Jim Kltohcn'ft Iilcn. The Bureau of Admissions has evidently caUght onto another plan for squandering n portion of the proceeds of the J40.000 note given a few days ago in order to raise funds to continue the existence of the show. There nro seven pass gates at the exposition grounds and at each of these tlncc the opening day ticket takers have been working In two shifts , so that four teen men have been cmptoycd to look after the pauses to the main show. Yesterday Manager Kitchen ot the Bureau of Admis sions put on fourteen extra pass gate ticket takers at n salary ot $10 per month each. What the duties of these men are no person knows , unless they arc given the inside ot the technical details. With two men on a pass gate a pass- holder presents himself and asks for admis sion. At this point in the proceedings ono of the pass takers hands to the pass holder a small whlto card. On this the pass holder writes his name and the number of his pass. This card ho hands back to the man from whom he received It , and he In turn hands It to the second pass taker , who permits the pnes holder to go through the turn stile. The contention of the now plan Is said by Mr , Ktti.-hon to bo a movement in the direction ot preventing an abuse of the pass system. However , some of the stock holders who have looked into the matter Intimate that it is simply another way of foisting fourteen men upon the pay rolf. They argilo that up to this tlmo thcro has been no attempt nt abusing the pass sys tem and If thcro should bo later on the sal ary of the fourteen men during the four mouths of the exposition will amount to hundreds of dollars more than the admis sions which might bo secured fraudulently. Again , these same stockholders argue that if there is an effort to abuse the pass sys tem two men on a gate will not prevent It any moro than ono would , as there is never a time when a ticket taker docs not have time to look at the pass and the slip presented and compare the signatures. An KvcnliiK of Enjoyment. Evening brought out a good sized crowd of the city people , who distributed themselves over the Plaza , along the Main Court and up and down the Midway. The concert by Godfrey1 ! ) band wae enjoyed by the lovers of music and the players wcro compelled to respond to a couple of encores. The Grand Court , with the thousands of bright lights shining down upon it , was a delightful place to rest nud hundreds took advantage of the opportunity offered , drink ing in the pcrfumo of the tropical flowers and plants of tho'little parks. The Bpoctaclo entitled the "Battle of Ma nila" was the stellar drawing card of the evening and again the seats were filled to their full capacity. As upon other occasions interest centered in the battle between the two fleets and the final destruction of the Spanish vessels , which was BO realistic that a couple _ of women in the audience fainted. The "fireworks were especially fine , as was the. entertainment given upon the stage. SIGHTS ALONG THE MIDWAY i Vlftltorn Enjoy Tlicmiielvc * Vlcwlnn ( lie ? f MT Con- CCNMioUfl. The concessionaires to a man seem to have taken advantage of the absence of a crowd to complete their different attrac tions or improve where defects were no ticed during the rush of the first few days. Yet there were a great many visitors who insisted on seeing everything on the Midway way just tbo some. The Cuban and Porto Rlcan Village is rushing all of the unfinished parts of its attraction and will be In shape today to take proper care ot all visitors. The Cuban dance given In the theater 'is ' attracting considerable favorable comment. The darkeys at the Old Plantation yes terday were having n good time laying in tbo shady places telling ever again their old tlmo slave experiences down in "olo Alabarn. " Mr. McConnell has added much to tbo feature of tbo Midway of last year and is sure of a good patronage. The owners of the Philippine Village arc rushing the work us fast as possible , and will 'have ' everything In readiness for the reception ot the Filipinos and animals about the 25th. On August 1 there will bo a grand opening that will give Omaha its first glimpse of the real island ot Luzon , The Scenic Railway was on the move all day Saturday , and the management now feels that everything Is in first-class con dition for the exposition rush. The popu lar prlco of 10 cents that has been made this year has kept the cars fairly wall filled oven with the small attendance of tbo last few days. If thcro Is one thing on the Midway that should receive tbo patronage of the Omaha people more than any other It Is tbo Giant Seesaw. A most magnificent blrdseye view of Omaha can be had from hero and the grand panorama stretching from Florence to South Omaha la a sight never to be forgotten. The liberal patron- ngo received shows that It Is considered tliu chief Midway attraction. Mr. Fritz Mueller , owner of the popular Schlltz pavilion , hasn't any reason to com plain , for everybody seems to find the cool varandas of Fritz's place. Next week ho will open up the Dutch quest house In the Dairy building with an Imported orehentron from Germany , one of the largest ever seen in this country. The First Grief ; or , the Death of Abel , Is not a moving picture , but is a 'superb masterpiece , painted by one of Europe's moat famous painters , Tojottl , and valued at $65,000 , It is on the KastuMldway and is one of the educational features of the exposition , The life of the artist Is perfectly portrayed trayed In the poses of the beautiful models representing the most famous paintings , with the artist and all of his bohemlan habits and ways of living and working. This Is very Interesting and will in no sense shock the modesty of the most timid. The attraction Is proving quite attractive to the lady sightseers. Think of being bound hand and foot , then put in a sack , securely tied and pushed off Into twenty feet of water , left to cut your bonda before you could get a breath of air that's what the little woman went through yesterday at the Water Carnival , And it was five jn I mites before she came to the surface. This , with the thrilling dlvo from a tower ninety-five feet high , at tracts all the Midway visitor * . Stclnhsuser's preheat kept things lively at the Chutes cafe and little Bismarck was doing a landofflco business up to the time the guards called time on him. REFUSE TO BEND THE KNEE Douglas County Populists Decide to Hold an Independent Convention , ADMINISTRATION ORATORS TURNED DOWN Mlilillr-i > f-tlir-Ilnn < l Sentiment I'rc- vnlln After n VlHornim Drlintc nnil ! ? it Drulnlvc Mnjnrll- . After three hours of fierce debate In which the fusion and anti-fusion elements mixed In heated conflict the county central com mittee of the populist party last night voted to hold the county convention Saturday , August 12 , without the aid or consent of any other party on earth. While the Issue was stubbornly contested the sentiment of a ma jority of the committee was at no time In doubt. J. O. Yelser , E. 13. Thomas , V. 1 . Wilson and other representatives of the olflce-liold- ing gang were present to swing the com mittee Into line to fix the convention on the name date as the democratic convention ami they exhausted the Kngllsh vocabulary In a succession ot speeches In which they poured soothing ointment on the wounds that still rankled from previous fusion experience , and exploited extravagant hopes of the liberality with which the democrats would treat their allies during the coming campaign , llut their eloquence was without effect. The majority of the committee proclaimed no definite op position to fusion , but , ns ono ot the mem bers expressed It , "I am willing to co-opcr- ate with the democrats , but I don't want anymore moro fusion according to theHerdman gang Idea. " They Insisted In vigorous Kngltsh that the populist party had been forced to bo content with tbo husks so far and Hint they proposed to hold'thclr convention when they pleased. If the democrats wanted to fuse they could como to them. Chairman J. W. Uarnett called the com mittee to order and after some preliminary business E. F. Morcarlty moved that the date of the convention be fixed on August 12. J. 0. Yclscr then dumped the fat into the fire by offering an amendment which provided that tbo date be fixed to correspond with that of the democratic convention , which was supposed to bo August 16. This brought Mlko O'Connell to his feet with a vigorous pica for Independent action. He declared that the populist party was perfectly com petent to set the date for Its own conven tion and act ns though it was really a political party. Voted I-lUo Cattle. E. F. Morearlty added an Impassioned ap peal for the same action. He declared that It Is the unmistakable feeling of the rank and file of the party that they must go It alone in this campaign. They had suffered humiliation and had sacrificed their personal feeling In order that fusion and harmony might prevail and what was the result ? They are looked down on by the demo crats as hewers of wood and drawers of water. They arc regarded merely as catti'o to be voted and they have been rounded up to primaries and conventions like a herd of steers Into n corral. Thcro Is no way to establish their Independence but to proclaim It. It they arc to bo the subservient slaves of men who hold odlce higher than principle they might as well abandon their party. They wore tired of the promises of patronage that had never been fulfilled and of the con duct ot the men whom they had elected to offlce. V. P. Wilson jumped Into the breach to fitem the tide of independence that seemed to overwhelming the organization. Ho declared It was their duty to hold principle higher than patronage and declared ho was tired of hearing nothing but patronage dls cussed In populist meetings In Douglas county. In the following sentence ho urged the populists to stay with the democrats because that was the only way In which they could secure ony of the offlces. Ho declared that If the iDouglas county popu lists dared to cut loose from the demo crats It would give the Impression that fusion In Nebraska was doomed and the voters would all go to the democrats as tha party most likely to win. 'A. J. Williams of Bennlngton took early and vigorous exception to the remarks of Mr. Wilson , ille alluded to his taunt In regard to the appetite of the Douglas county populists for spoils , and asked him it ho intended to Insult the populists of the county. He emphasized the arguments urged against fusion by previous speakers and declared It was high tlme > the populists asserted their manhood and ceased to crawl supinely before the democrats. TIiomnN TrlrM n Trluk , By this time it was apparent that More- arity's motion was favored by a majority of the members and E. E. Thomas tried to avert tlio climax by a motion that tbo matter should bo referred to the whole committee by a vote in referendum. This gave now vitality to the debate and J. 0. Yelser made a long argument in its support. He called on the populists to make their personal in clinations eecondary to their hatred of all things republican and join harmoniously with the democrats to get control ot the nu premo bench and retain the fusion suprem acy in Nebraska. Then the Thomas amend ment was voted down by 11 to 7 and Yols- er's amendment met a similar fate. The original motion prevailed by the same di vision and It seemed that the trouble was over when V. P. Wilson waved the red flae In thu form of a motion that the minutes of the proceedings be made up and approved before the meeting adjourned. Several mem bers objected to this on the ground that it was a scheme to get the members on record so they could blacklisted In quarters whence the loaves and fishes are distributed , Yeiser shook his finger at D. Clem Deavsr and vociferously asked the majority why they did not revoke their action It they were ashamed of It Deaver took this as a per sonal allusion and in a second he WAS in front of the speaker and his fist was altio agitating theatmosphere. . "You have In sulted niu enough , " he delcared In tones that left no doubt of his sincerity , "and I won't stand It any longer. " Yciser Invited him to smash him If do wanted to and it looked for a minute as though the Invitation would be accepted. The chairman succeeded In restoring order , however , and Yelser was warned not to in dulge In further personalities , Wilson ex plained that there was no desire to get any one on record , as h merely wished to have a correct understanding In regard to the mo. tlons that had been considered , and eventu ally his motion was passed without a dlvl- nlcn. Then Thursday , August 10 , was se lected as the date for the primaries and the ho'uYs were fixed from 7 to 9 o'clock In the evening.

NEED MORE FIRE HYDRANTS Property Owner * of Ilrlntol Street Alnrincfl for tlie Safety of Tlirlr HonicN. The residents of Bristol street , In North Omaha , have gone to Chief Redell In their attempt to secure the location of a few more fire hydrants on that thoroughfare. Res idents of the district In question pay they are at the mercy of nny serious fire that might happen to break out and they point to the narrow escape from a dleastrous con flagration that was experienced recently when a house at 2503 Bristol street , belong ing to O. Martis , caught fire. The fire de partment had to go to Emmet street , three blocks away , for a hose connection. They consider themselves fortunate In that the flrc was checked as quickly as It was. A petition for these hydrants was addressed to the council over a year ago , but no action has yet been taken. The citizens hope to effect something If they go before the coun cil with a statement from the chief as to their needs. The council finds Itself under the necessity of refusing to locate hydrants' at every meeting owing to the Inadequacy of the funds at its command. Xo hydrants have been ordered put in for some time except under a special arrangement whereby they arc not to be paid for until next year's funds are available. Small Fire. An alarm of fire was turned In shortly be fore 6 o'clock last evening. A juok re sponse by the department resulted "in ( ho flames being checked before serious damage was done. The fire occurred In the old Cur- tls warehouse. Eleventh and Leavenworth streets. In the rear of Hhe warehouse two carloads of binder twine , owned by the Klngman Implement company , were stored. The flro evidently originated outside the building and burned through 'to ' where the twlno was stored. The damage did not ex ceed $10. Marriage I lcen e * .
