Pain's Battle of Manila , with grand fireworks. It Is estimated that fully 10.000 children attended the exposition yesterday , overrun ning the buildings , the grounds and the Mid way. They enjoyed themselves hugely , and when they returned to their homes last night they voted the exposition omdafa capital entertainers and the exposition a great success. The ticket seller ! ) and takers were at their Rates at the usual hour , but they fo.und that there were many there ahead of them. Around each gate was congregated an army of bright-faced Uttfe boys and girls , all clamoring for admission. They had hecn promised a day's outing , and they proposed to' make the most of It , and consequently many of them started for the grounds with the rising of the sun. They came not only from South Omaha , hut from Omaha , Council BliillB and the country , as well. At the gaten they wore passed , and when once'In side the grounds they scattered like a flock of birds , viewing every point of Interest and gaining all the Information possible relative to everything Inside the fence that encloses the exposition. They were not too Inquisi tive , but they were on hand to gather In formation and gather It they did. At noon they lined up against the lunch counters or explored the depths of cavernous lunch baskets , with which many were armed. Their hunger being appeased , again they started out upon their rounds , never stopping until the lights were turned out at nluht. Most of the children who visited the ex position bad money and they spent It like millionaires. Some spent their wealth at the various booths , while others preferred the lemonade , yet a majority let go of their cash for tickets to the Midway attractions , all of which made an unusually low rate for school children. The exposition officials are pleased with the result of the children's , days and favor ' having them two or three times each month. They' ' contend that white the children are given free admission to the grounds , they are excellent advertiser : for the enterprise , and that In addition to this , their prescnco results In the attendance of many adulta who come along to look after the little folks. In order that the children may have the best of attention , the executive officers of the exposition Instruct the guards to look after their every want , point out the Inter esting places about the buildings and grounds and see that they receive proper attention. A'lEWS OF IIAI > l V HUNTING GHOUNDS J.lttlc lied Ilircl Snatched Uncle from the Golden Shore. There is an Indian on the exposition grounds who was given an opportunity yes terday of taking a panoramic view of the happy hunting grounds to which all gopd Indians are presumed to go after severing , i the ties that bind them to this mundane upbore. On the ration rolls downln , New [ Mexico thjs Indian Is known as Little Red Dlrd and the same came attaches to him hero. Some daya ago a party of Indians for the encampment arrived and were quartered in the Transportation building. Little Red Bird was one of them. Soon after his ar rival , he developed a case of pneumonia and was taken to the emergency hospital , where Dr. 'Campbell and his assistants filled him with all of the remedies that would bo given to a white man under similar conditions. For a , day or two Little Red Bird protested nnd refused to take the medicine , but at Jast , conceiving the Idea that he was about' ito die , he submitted nnd swallowed every thing that was prescribed. He was getting - ' ting along nicely until yesterday , when , con cluding that he was about well , he slipped V Into his clothes , sneaked out of the back ' door of the hospital ' ind made Ills way up to the cnmp.A couple of hours later a hurry call was Bent down to the hospital nnd porno of the assistants going up , found Mr. Bird In a delirious condition , with a fever that registered close to 110 degrees. Hie was taken back to the hospital and Jicrolc measures adopted to save his life , v-which for a time seemed about ready to * i depart. " 'Last ' night .Mr. Bird was much improved , enough BO nt least to talk , and in telling ( Ms experience to ono of the nurses , said that coon after reaching the camp , ho ueemed to go to sleep. While Jn this con dition ho saw a great plain covered with deep grass. Oft In the distance there were ( herds of buftalo , deer , elk and antelope. Men , women and children wore chasing and lulling them In large numbers. On the hills nround the plains were hundreds of tepees , nround which Indians were lying nnd smoking , apparently having agood time. "This , I guess , " said Little Red Bird , "was the happy hunting ground , but I was not ready to go over there , " From now on this Indian says that ho will take the inedl- clne ot the white man , no imatter how bit ter the decoction may be , SPANISH CArtNOXHAS .ARRIVED. Oner Mounted on Morro < 7nntlc Style of Two CViiturlf * AKO. A Spanish bronze cannon , years ago a part of the formidable armament ot Morro caetle t nt Havana , has arrived In the city as a loan d | of the Navy department to Omaha , and Is § now on the exposition grounds , It Is In charge of the Board of Park Commissioners , who secured It only after making a de termined effort and after many other cities had been refused the favor. All captured cannon hereafter loaned to cities will flrst have to bo made the subject of congressional action. Only two other cities , Chicago nnd jPlttsburg , have succeeded ns Omaha has. The Idea of obtaining a cannon for Omaha was flrst suggested by n Bee reporter , who called the attention of the park board to the fact that Chicago , through the Illinois dele gation In congress , had obtained one. Cap tain Psjmer urged the Idea on the park board , olid ho was appointed chairman of a commlttw to take the matter up.

Its age Is estimated to bo 00 years , and it It covered with Spanish In scriptions relating Its own history. After the exposition It will be placed In ono of the parks of the city. Mins AI.ONO Tim MIDWAY. ( 'hllilrcii llnvc n Hrrnt Time Out Srrlnc ( lie Slulitu , The boys and girls of South Omaha and n large number of those of Omaha were on the Midway yesterday and they saw thu eights. They hurried through the main buildings of tbo exposition and then struck out for the Midway , where they watched the ballyhooa and ihen flshed up their nickels and dimes and gazed up-m the per formances behind' the doors. All of the shows varied their programs and put on features that were suitable to the taatcs and dcalrea of the little folks. In fact It was a real children's day. At the Old Plantation Manager McConnell - nell Informed the darkles that they must do turns for the bays and girls and they did. The cake walkers walked their prettiest and' the camp mcetlng-sccno In the theater was enacted In a manner that brought out many hearty laughs. In this It will be re membered that Old Uncle John Is holding a camp meeting nnd a lot of boys come along with a desire to break It up. For a time the old man protests , but In finally Induced to recede from his position. After this he Joins the dancers and cuts some pigeon wings that make the members of the > oun- gor set feel ashamed of themselves. Lunette was In her clel icnts when she appeared before the children and all day long she kept the little folks wondering how she could perform such evolutions. She stood upon her head , shot through space' nnd floated up and down In her apartments as though she was as light as air. Early In the day the boys and girls had some doubts about whether or not It would be safe to venture Into the depths of Dark ness and Dawn , but after ono party started down the others followed like a flock of sheep. Timid little girls shook hands with the skeletons , Joked with satan and even tried to get chummy with St. Peter , who would have nothing of the kind. The Marionettes proved to be great fa vorites with the children. These little wooden figures that appear upon the stage furnished all kinds of amusement for the children and half a dozen went Into convul sions when the wrathy wife In the show threw a shower of bricks nt the head of her obstreperous husband. The women In the Beauty Show were at home to the children and several times dur ing the afternoon they stepped down from their pedestals and held receptions with the llttlo folks. The votes In the contest for favorites were about equally distributed. Over nt the Streets of Cairo Colonel Nlncl did what has become a fad with him. Ho passed all of the children who were without money and furnished the same kind of an entertainment that was given to the paying customers. Almost every hour In the day the cars of the scenic railway were loaded. During the day this attraction carried 4,327 children and did It without an accident. The chll- dre tried to crowd In , but th& manager would not permit It. 'Ho ' treated them nil courte ously and In the end won the friendship of all. Load after load of youngsters went up and down In the Giant See-Saw and looked over Omaha from the dizzy height. As an extra attraction the See-Saw put on a trapeze per former who worked from the 'bottom of ono of the cars , doing feats that made the watch- era upon the ground tremble for Ills' safety. All of the llttlo visitors were Interested in the Cuban Village. They had read or had heard their parents tell of the Cubans and were anxious to see what to them seemed a queer people. After looking them over the children came to the conclusion that the residents of the Island are flesh and blood , the same as these who reside In the states. OMI FOLKS FOLLOW THE CHILDREN. PnreutN Tnkc uii RveitlUK Off nnd Go to the Exposition. While the children were at the exposition during the day , both they and their par ents were there during the evening , the lat ter going , presumably , to see the llttlo folks home , but , as a matter of fact , to etroll through the Grand Court , listen to the mu sic and spend a few hours away from dull care. care.Tho The crowds commenced to move toward the gates shortly after 6 o'clock and for the next two hours the turnstllrs were kept re- vol/lng at a rapid rate. There were some strangers , yet the majority of the people were from the city and South Omaha. Many of ifhem , following the advice of their children , epent their dlmcn visiting the Mid way shows. H was an orderly crowd nnd all had a good time. There were many neighbors , who made up little parties , going from place to place , seeing all that there was to bo seen. They went Into ecstasies over the lighting and wcro delighted -with tbo general appearance of the grounds. KAIL TO GIVE VALUE RECEIVED. Curd 'Muchliie * Cathcrril In by thr ExiiONltloii GunrdN. Slnco the opening day of the exposition postal card machines have been scattered about the grounds , but they are no longer there. The guards fell upon the machines like a lot of hawks upon a flock of doves and now these contrivances rest In the Service building waiting the arrival of the concessionaire , who must call and square himself before hla machines will be allowed In use again. Some time ago a concession to sell expo sition postal cards from slot machines was awarded , The cards wore to carry upon their face pictures of the buildings and some reading matter. In due time the machines wcro located and customers began buying their contents , only to discover that the pos tal cards were of the vintage of another era.

There are also a number of valuable collections of sea and land shells and ono of native woods , some of which are very valuable. The educational exhibit Is very complete and In cludes specimens ot the work of the native girls In the Kamchameha seminary and ot the pupils of the schools of Honolulu. A war canoe , twenty feet long nnd fully equipped , Is another Interesting object ot attention. Another Installment Is on the way here. OAX.OAT ROVnn > MI2.NT IIUILIIINO. Tvro IIlK llmrllrrrH Itcnclt Here mill Arc InntnllciL Two big howitzers , both used In the war of 1861-4 , have arrived and have been In stalled at the Government building. They arc formidable looking Instruments of death and are In place on the outsldo of the build- Ing. Iloth are known as the 13-Inch kind , one being rifled and the other smooth bored. The Government building , which contains the Llbby Prison War museum , admission to which Is free , but which , when In Chicago for a number of years , cost 60 cents , Is one of the big attractions of the exposition. This museum contains attractions from the early days of this country , down to the present time , something ever 20,000 In all , The picture gallery of the Llbby Prison War museum is ono of the features that never weary the peopto who visit the place. While there are many pictures ot foreign dignitaries , the collection Is largely Ameri can , though Columbus and the early dis coverers occupy a prominent place. There arc scores of life-sized oil paintings of men who have been prominent In the affairs of the United States , large sized paintings of the principal battles of the war of the re bellion , lithographs , pen sketches and wood cuts , many of which were made many years ago. ago.The The art gallery of the exhibit occupies the south end of the room , extending well up aTong the center. All of the pictures are hung BO that their names may be read and also so that they may bo examined. The most prominent of all , of course , Is George Washington. Then on cither side of this distinguished American are the subsequent presidents , all of the pictures being llfo- slze and done In oil. Farther down nre nu merous pictures of generals who fought In the revolution , war of 1812 and the Mexican war. war.The The generals of the war ot the rebellion form two Interesting groups. Those who cast theln fortunes with the confederacy are hung on the cast side ot the building , while those 'who ' entered the service to maintain an undivided country are hung against the west wall. AH of tiese distinguished lead ers wear the uniform , showing the rank which they held white In the respective wars. There are oil paintings of the members ot the first colonial congress and also those of many ot the subsequent sessions of that body. The cabinet ofllcers of nearly all of the administrations since the daya of Wash ington are found in the gallery , and several large size paintings of the two branches of congress , with the members occupying their respective seats. The war pictures form a separate and dis tinct section in the gallery. Of these there are several hundred. There are crayon sketches , pen drawings , lithographs and paintings. They include about everything from the first 'battle of Bull Run down to the surrender of Leo at Richmond. The pictures show the boye In camp , on the march and engaged In batUe. ( Many are companion pictures , the flrst showing the armies resting or on dress parade and then the death dealing struggle that follows * As a rule the pictures are by artists who were on the spot , or from photographs. In the same section with the pictures are the trophies of war the old bat tle flags carried by the different regiments of northern and southern troops. Many of them are skillfully made and bear the In scription , showing 'that ' they were presented by admiring friends and relatives prior to the time when their loved ones marched to the front , from which many ot them never returned. Besides the silken emblems , there are scores of battle flags , as it Is known that during the rebellion almost every regiment had Its own battle flag , which was carried In addition to the banner under which all fought , In some Instances these old battle flags are dirty and torn , while others are pierced with 'bullets ' and bear the marks of blood , showing that the bearers were shot down and wetted the banner with their own gore. PLAY TO ENTERTAIN THE CHILDREN Munlcnl Fentnrcn of the Day nt the Exiionltloii Well Received. Both Godfrey's and the Indian bands were slaves to the children yesterday. The mu sicians In these two orsanlzatlons realized that their audiences were composed largely of children and consequently they played music "that " suited the little folks. The In dians started the day oft with a parade around the Lagoon , nnd after they had played a number of marches a crowd of boys who nung over the railing of the bridge across the water trying to Inveigle flsh to swallow a piece of bread that con cealed a hook , yelled out : "What's the matter -with Yankee Doodle ? " Other boys and girls took up the refrain and In a couple ot "minutes , from one end of the Lagoon to the other , echoed and re-echoed the re frain : "What's the matter with Yankee Doodle ? " The Indian boys realized that there were several persons who wanted "Yankee Doodle" and they played with spirit and snap. One rendition of the popular air was not enough , however , and respond ing to the calls , the popular piece was played throe times before the parade disbanded. Godfrey's concerts , both afternoon and evening , were largely attended by the boys and girls , who seemed to enjoy the music as much as their elders. They all behaved nicely and put In the applause at the right places. At the evening concert , which had fireworks attachments , the little ones loudly applauded the artillery salute to the Ameri can flag and howled themselves hoarse when the rockets , Unman candles and bombs went Into the air and exploded. PROM THE DESERTS OP AUI/.OVA. I'liinU of Hie Cnctim Family Ailnrn the IllulT Trnct. People bereaways have all seen the little scrubby cactus plants that grow upon the hillsides In this state , yet few of them have occn cacti that rear their heads ten and twenty feet Into the air , having stalks as large around as an ordinary water pall. Such plants are here , however , and are In a grove of cacti planted on the Bluff tract where the Wisconsin 'building ; stood last year , Some weeks ago four carloads of cacti were chipped to the exposition from Ari zona. Where to put them -was the question which was only solved after the Wisconsin building was cold to the Hawaiian Village company and removed. After that It was decided to park the little plat of ground and fill It with the cactus plants , This has been done and the little park Is now one of the curiosities ot the exposition , Of the cacti received there are a dozen varieties , including the little ones not longer than a man's finger up to thofo almost as largo as saw logs. There are the running kind that branch out and travel over the ground like a cucumber vine. Then there are those which grow up from root end branch out like palms , having In come In- as many , as filty stalks. All c * them , however , hate long thorns which In duce people to keep their dletance. .When on their native heath these cacti grow on the poorest of poor soils , driving their roots do n Into the crovlces of the rocks and getting along for months at a time without water. Fearing that the Ne braska soil would be too rich for the plants , In setting them out Landscape Artist UI- rich had to do a little figuring. Ho gath ered In eeveral loads ot rock and gravel and then sent to the tops ot the highest hills nround the city for earth. He'then made a mixture of the rock and this earth nnd Into this ho has planted the roots of the cacti. Sniiilnli Can n on nt < ! " Exii A bronze Spanish cannon , 200 years old , which was captured at llorro castle , Havana , arrived In Omaha Tuesday and Is now on the exposition grounds. It was se cured as a loan for the city only after a great deal of effort on the part of Captain Palmer of the park board , Congressman Mercer nnd Assistant Secretary of War Melklojohn. Only three cities have thun far secured loans of captured cannon , Chicago and Plttsburg being the other two. Any cannon distributed through the country hereafter will have to be disposed of by act of congress. Vlull nt < he Soil llonne. While a great number of the children of western Iowa and eastern Nebraska wcro born horeaways , comparatively few of them have ever seen a sod house , such as was oc cupied by the early homesteaders during the BOttlcmcnt of the west. Such a habitation Is on the grounds over on the Bluff tract In the rear of the Fraternity building. It Is conducted by Mrs. Bowser , who occupied a sod house on a homestead for n number ot years.

Wolcott , one of the traveling representatives of the Union Stock Yards company , was In the city for a. few hours yesterday , having Just returned from an ex tended trip through the west and northwest. In speaking about tbo existing conditions i Major Wolcott eald that the cost part of | Colorado Is very dry an * the grass short. On account of the scarcity of rain many owners of live stock had already shipped their cattle to western Nebraska and Kan sas to fe d. On the Pacific slope of Colorado cattle are doing nicely and In some places are grazing In gross as high as their knees. Cattle from this section of Colorado will be exceptionally flne this year said the. major on account of the extraordinary flne grass and It Is expected that the best range cattle marketed this fall will come from western Colorado. Continuing Major Wolcott said that on account of the very severe winter and the late opening up of spring cattle would be late In finishing for market this year "with the exception of those comlnr from western Colorado and some parts of Wyoming , where the grass started early and the rains have been plentiful. From this i section some flne cattle are being produced and these will be ready for market about the time the Colorado and Wyoming cattle are. | Major Wolcott thinks thaf he sheep in- ' ' ' I dustry Is taking' the place'of'cattle raising In many places In Utah , Wyoming , Idaho , j Oregon and Nevada. This change has been j brought about by the selling cf young cattle on the ranges. Another Incentive to the sheep Industry Is the high price of wool. At one place on the range Major Wolcott saw wool sell at 18 cents. In Utah the lamb crop will average 60 per cent. In Idaho 50 per cent and In Oregon 20 per cent. There will be a full crop of lambs In western Nevada and In the south west corner of Wjcmlng. Regarding Kansas Major Wolcott said that the corn and grass crop was the best Tie had seen In years and that It would require , only about three weeks of good weather to i make the corn crop certain. I While In Kansas Major Wolcott collected some statistics taken from the assessors' records , showing the number of head of live stock In the state. Jewell county Is the greatest hog producing county In Kansas. This Is duo to the fact that it Is also fhe | j greatest corn producing county In the state. i This county has G4.390 hogs , or double the ' number returned by the assessors of any other county. Of horses there are In Kansas 492,190 head ; cattle , 2,350,611 head ; mules , 62,717 | head ; sheep , 278,000 head ; hogs , 1,207,960 head. Major Wolcott Is now engaged In gathering similar statistics for the state of Nebraska. As all railroads report plenty of hogs and cattle It is thought that the showIng - Ing made this year by Nebraska will be greater than It ever has been before. Proponed Reduction In FrelKht Itntcn. It is understood that an effort Is to bo made to try to Induce the railroads to give the South Omaha packers a better rate to southeast points. For years past the vari ous transportation lines doing business hero have Imposed a charge of C cents faioro per 100 pounds than from Kansas City. Several attempts have been made by the Commercial club of Omaha and Interested parties hereto to securn an adjustment of this rate , 'but ' the Influence brought to bear upon the rail road officials 'by Kansas City business men was too etrong to be overcome. The Burlington road now proposes to re duce this differential 3 cents , making the rate on packing house products from this point only 3 cents 'more ' than from Kansas City. As this reduction In tbr < rate will Inure to the benefit of the live stock pro ducers of Nebraska It has been suggested that the moyoraent bo assisted a little by the public-spirited citizens of South Omaha. One prominent business man said yesterday afternoon that , In his opinion , the Com mercial club should take hold of the ques tion and , If necessary , call a special moat ing for the purpose of talking the matter over with a view to ntslstlng the proposed movement , Hreolutluns might bo passed commenting favorably upon the proposed action of the Burlington road , and In this way pressure might tie brought to bear upon some of the other railroads. Some -well known railroad men might "bo Invited to ad dress the club upon this subject and explain In detail the seemingly unjust discrimina tion 'by the railroads against tbo hauling out of racking house products. In cose the club takes any action and adopts resolutions It has been suggested that copies bo for warded to George B. Harris , vice president of the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy at Chicago cage , and also to Howard Elliott , general manager of the Durllngtoa route at St. Louts. Gouil Templar * Elrct OlllcerM.
