Mr Penfold reported that the claim of Hayden Brothers for { 10.000 , paid on stock after the closing of the books , has been paid and that the amount has 'been charged a alnet the balance In the bank. On motion of Rome Miller the resignations of C. J. Smyth and William Hayden as mem bers of the executive committee were ac cepted. The election of their Buccessors. however , was deferred until the adjourned meeting , which will be held next Tuesday afternoon. On motion of Mr. Penfold the executive committee tras authorized to employ an at torney whenaver the regular attorney. George E Pritchett , Is out of the city. In rising to speak upon a question of per sonal privilege , C. J Smyth said that at the last meeting of the board of directors irhen filled with Indignation , he used some language toward eome of the directors that lie regarded a ungentlemanly. He ap'n.e-1 to be allowed to withdraw the words and offer an apology for their use. The apol ogy was accepted by a unanimous vote. After the meeting the directors discussed the financial condition * of the exposition and nil of them agreed that the Institution is now on a solid financial basis and fn a posi tion to pay. not only expenses , but some div idends before the end of the season In . ( peaking -at financial matters , one of the member * connected with some of the largest corporations In the city said : "People have o much confidence In this exposition now that If It were necessary , I could go out and half a day I could raise 1100,000 on simply the pledgee of the association. The best tmslneai men of the city are with us and they are determined that the exposition will pull through to a successful termination. "Regarding the attendance , there 1 noth ing to alarm anyone. It IB not a time when farmers can leave their homes. At this time they are busy with their harvest , but as soon as that Is over , my judgment U that the railroads will put In rates and great crowds a ill be in attendance every day. In fact , there need be no alarm al ut the rates. " SCENES ALONG THE MIDWAY. Croirdi Gatber at MKht and Everr- thlnir Doe * a Rood Dimities * . Crowds of people thronged the Midway from one end to the other last night and ell of the concessionaires did a good busi- nrvs. Gf course It was the occasion for put ting on the Battle of Manila , but this in no wise Interfered with the Midway business , as time wax not called on the spectacular until 10 o'clock , which gave the attractions two hours to run and gather In the coin. From the looks of a man on the Midway , you cannot always tell -what occupation he followed before he caught the fascination that attaches to the street. Take Harry Latledon , the speller at the Giant See-Saw , for an example. To bear him nltb bis funny etcrles and happy hi to ona would suppose that he was born up In a tee-saw. Sucn , however , is not the case. Langdon Is one of the finest baritone singers in the fand , but he has given up singing , having caught the Midway fever. For two seasons he traveled with the Bo tonlans and sang etery night , doing the heavy baritone work. Prior to that thne and for twehe yearn , be sang In church choirs In New York CUy and always made a great hit. He was in Catholic churches a greater portion of the time and while there learned to rend Latin He plays the piano and any day be can sit down at an instru ment and without practice read and play the ' most difficult music. Langdon Is not lazy , but he is a great sleeper , and e\ery forenoon , o to speak , be gets off the earth and goes to sleep. It Is a well known fact that none of the concessionaires expect to do any business during the forenoon , and Instead of loafing around the Midway Langdon , imme- dlatery after eating his breakfast , goes to the See-Saw and entering one of the cars , ends it up Into midair , and then lying down upon one of the Beats sleeps until noon. He does this in order to be away from his cares and the noise and bustle of the street. The Marionettes furnish more fun than a basket of monkey * and every day the neat little theater In which the figures perform ii filled to iu capacity. There are twenty- five of the figures and by the aid of strings they are put through such acts as are usu ally seen In a regular theater , A ventrilo quist does the talking and if not watched closely It is hard to realize that'the figures re not alhe. They dance and sing and promenade about with all of the grace of real actors. With both ( tranrers and city people , the Moorish palace proved a strone card ycc- terdty The flzurei and situations there 4 furnished a subject for study and the hun dreds of people who visited the place seemed to never tire of going from caller ? to gal lery , examining the wax Csures of king * , queens and prominent men who have Hied In tba &fti of the put. The little theaters where p rformincr * are given every hour were veil patronized and the scenes enacted aide a good impression The Artist's etudlo Is as popular at ever and i * visited by the best people who at tend the exposition.

Heaven and Hell , does busl- rcs right along One nan who went through the place yesterday said after coming out that he felt that he had added ten years to his life Speaking of his ex perience he said "Hell Is much worse than 1 expected to find it and heaven Is bet ter. but for fear o < getting Into the former , I am afraid to try the trip to the latter place. However , I am going home and lead a better life , so that when I die I will stand a chance of going around the Infernal regions. 1 m going to tart In on a bet- tcr plan of life and I hope that by so doing I will add at least ten years to my exist ence. " Commencing next Monday morning Dr Carl Louis Perln. the world-ftmed palm ist , will devote all his time and energy to the readings to be given at the Temple of Palmistry and will close down his town oClce at the Murray hotel. This Is done on account of the Increased attendance at the exposition and the large number of vis itors who have been applying mornings to the Temple of Palmistry for readings from tlm , and as Dr Perln does all of the readIngs - Ings himself he will give his full attention to the exposition business. MGHT nil GS OtT A HIG CflOWD. Jinny Cltr People Spend the Evening at the Kxponltlnn. As coon as the S5-cent rate went Into effect last night the city people commenced to move toward the exposition grounds and for a couple of hours there was something of a Jam The Grand Court , the Plaza and the Midway presented a very animated ap pearance Upon the Grand Court hundred * cf people moved up and down the pave ment or sat upon the benches drinking In the beauties of the illumination and enjoy ing the cool breeze wafted over the water. A fair sized crowd listened to the concert by Godfrey's band and apparently enjoed It , ai the applause was rather liberal at times On the Midway everybody was busy and all the concessions had. about as much business cf , they could handle. Last night's spectacular Battle of Manila was a reproduction of that seen before , but still It drew a crowd , nearly all the re served seats beinc filled The performance did not commence until 10 o'clock and consequently quently it was nearly midnight before the rush for the gates commenced. Another Children's Dar- Today is down on the cards as Children's day at the Exposition , an occasion when the young people of South Omaha will be admitted to the grounds , both day and evening , without charge. While only South Omaha children are supposed to come upon this occasion , the little folks from Omaha , Council Bluffs , other towns and the country will be welcome. No questions -will be asked with reference to residence , and con- seequently the gates will be open to all For the entertainment of the children a special musical program has been prepared for the day and evening , and to the selec tions all are cordially Invited to hsten. Dur ing the evening there will be a brilliant dis play of fireworks upon the Grand Plaza. All of the concessionaires have made reduced rates for their shows , and in mort instances the price of admission will be 5 cents to the little folks. Todar' * Musical Program.

This work will continue until all of the streets have been treated.

At the regular meetlni ; of the city countl ell Tuesday night President Blngasm brought up the subject of cutting weeds on the streets. He said he had talked with two of the heaviest property owners In the city and both had agreed to cut the weeds in front of their property. He thought that If the matter were only brought to the attention of property owners In the right way the city could be relieved of a nerious nuisance without expense. The Individual xpense would be slight. Lobeck agreed and pointed to the example if a large property owner who had five men at work cutting weeds In the streets adjoining his property.
