Off.
The managers didn't have a thing to nay
about the running of the exposition yester
day Everything was turned over to Jupiter
Pluvlui , who handled the affairs to suit
himself. Sometime during the night he
pulled the plug out of his water barrel and
allowed the contents to trlckl out until a
late hour yesterday afternoon , when he shut
off the supply , after which Old Sol managed
to scatter the clouds and show his face. It
wns too late , however , for the damage had
been done and the attendance at the expo-
ltlon had been knocked for the day
To make a long story -inert , the attendance
at the exposition yesterday was the light
est slnco the opening of the gates. The
exposition officials , however , did not com
plain , for they realized that the rain was
extended to almost
wlde'pread and that it
most every portion of the state , wetting
the parched ground and assuring the farm-
em a bountiful crop , they also realized that
with the crop assured people will feel more
like spending money freely nnd that later on
when the grain Is garnered the farmers will
come In goodly numbers and make the turn
stiles at the gates click right merrily.
Trom early morning until nearly night
the.ro was a. steady drl/zle , the rain coming
In small drops and penetrating to the skin
nil 'who happened to be venturesome enough
to visit the grounds While the rain was
rarrjlng on this wetting process It was at
the same time cnn\crtlng the unpaved
streets of the exposition grounds Into a Bei
of nnsty yellow mud , which In some places
was ankle deep. Along the paths and avenues
on the Bluff tract nnd the Midway this
water flowed In rivulets
During the day scarcely BO people were
upon the grounds aside from the employes ,
but In the evening the crowd grew wpacc ,
though at no tlmo were there enough people
out so that their presence was felt. Nothing
wan done In the way of giving the morning
and afternoon band concerts , as there was
no one to listen to the music.
The scenes on the grounds were In striking
contrast as compared with the previous day ,
when there were thousands of children and
many of their elders In attendance.

There are thousands of people who see
the lions at iHagcnback'a while In their
cages or In the iporformlng ring , yet there
ftro few who see the .beasts as they devour
the evening meal. The lions are fed at
about 7 o'clock every evening , at which hour
each ono Is given about ten pounds of beef.
This Is cut Into small strips and shoved
through the Ibars to the ferocious animals ,
which apparently swallow It whole. With a
low growl a lion will walk up to the front
of the cage , sniff at the meat and as soon
ns It Is within reach grab it and hurry to
the rear of the cage , whore it will bo bolted
down In a hurry. When meat containing
bones Is fed to the lions they will hold the
morsel between their paws and tear away
the flesh , after which they will craunch
and swallow the bones , or at least the small
ones.
The thatched huts In the Cuban village
attract .tho ttention f all who pass the
gates. * Thesft huts have framework similar
to the shanties that are seen along the river
bottoms , but there the similarity ends. The
Cuban habitations are identical with those
found In the rural districts of the island ,
having been built toy Cubans who reside
there. None of the 'buildings contain more
than ona room. This room Is a kitchen ,
dining room , parlor and sleeping apartment.
It Is practically devoid of furniture , con
taining llttlo more than a shako-down bed ,
a rickety table and a broken chair or two.
Did it contain more furniture It would not
bo Cuban. The construction of the house
Is something that commands the attention
of the Omaha architects , but does not meet
with their approval. The frame work Is not
so bad. On this frame work on the sides and
ends of the house or hut bark is tied with
grass and strings , while a thatching of hay
covers the roof. No doors are seen , n blanket
toeing used aa a substitutewhile the windows
dews are square holes , over -which pieces of
cloth flop , keeping out the rain and sun.
Some people have an idea the Scenic rail
road Is a line constructed upon the gravity
iplan , but such Is not 'the case. Some of the
distance gravity Is the propelling power ,
especially down the _ hills , tut there gravity
quits doing "business " and a cable gets in its
nork. Up the Inclines the cars are hauled
by the cable , which Is operated by a powerful
engine. The cable carries the cars around
the curves and through the tunnels , letting
go of thorn when the hills are reached , down
which they speed at a rate that frequently
exceeds sixty miles per hour.
In the manipulation of the Giant See-Saw
n powerful storage battery Is used to move
the cars up and down , . This Is located on
the platform about midway between the base
nnd top of the perpendicular over which
the See-Saw works. The arrangement 1s so
complete that If the machinery should get
out of order a llttlo compressed air engine
would operate .the cars until the- repairs
could ibo made.
The Darkness nnd Dawn show Is an Inven
tion that could hardly bo operated .without
tbo aid of electricity. It Is used In the long
chamber leading to the dead room and again
it Is used In tbo regions where Satan makes
his homo , U aids him In keeping his fires
at the proper boat nnd it also plays an Im
portant part In the little theater where the
fire dance Is given.
The decorations for the Interior of the
iHawallan village have arrived and will im

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind , dls-

the kidneys are out of order or diseased.
Kidney trouble has become EO prevalent
that It Is not uncommon for a child to be

Important organs. This unpleasant trouble
Is due to a diseased condition of tbe kidneys

Trouble * of the IJrowus.
There has been n very annoying mix-up In
the Brown family recently. The principals
lu the affair are J. Brown and I. Brown ,
and tbo trouble has arisen over a mistake
In the Initials of the two Browns As everyone
ono knows , there Is a great similarity nine
times out of ten In the writing of a capital
J and a capital I. That's where the little
joker In this deal comes in. J. Brown was
arrested on a charge of obtaining money by
false representations In having sold to a
woman a refrigerator that wouldn't refriger
ate. This of course made the purchaser very
torrid , and hence the arrest of the aforesaid
Brown , for whom I. Brown became bonds
man. The case against J. Brown -nas cvent-
ually satisfactory adjusted , but the news
papers transposed the Browns , which natu
rally made the Brown whoso Initial Is I some
what Indignant , as ho never sold a refriger
ator In his llfo and no\er has been arrested
during his twenty years' residenca In Omaha
The numerous questions that arc being asked
him nbout "that refrigerator" are making
him tired , and ho wants the public to un
derstand that If any more Information is
wanted regarding that led box It can bo ob
tained from J. Brown.
LOCAL BREVITIES ,
Judge Baxter has appointed Mrs. Mary
Ruane guardian of the two Uimno childui , .
This Is said to be preliminary to a settle

husband for $1,750.
Judge Scott has refused to grant ibo writ

Police Commissioners to pay him JUG back
salary , alleged to bo due for time during
which be was laid off without reason in

There is a noticeable movement from the
smaller nnd private hotels to the boarding
houses on account of a threatened rise In
prices on August 1 , A number of hotel
managers have given their guests notice of
the advance , with notice to vacate by that
date If they do not wish to pay the now
scale. Many of them are preparing to move.
An Inquest was held yesterday over
the remains of Max Reese , the old watch
man , whoso body was found floating in the
Missouri river Wednesday by some lads
who were In swimming. The jury brought
In n finding that the man came to bis
death by drowning , and that as ho was
subject to epileptic fits , it wns supposed ho
fell Into the water while thus attacked.
B L. Cooper , a visitor In the city from
Collins , la. , met with a painful accident
while alighting from a Walnut Hill car at
Twenty-fourth and Cumins streets Thurs
day evening , The speed of tbe car was mis
calculated and Cooper was thrown from tbe
car , as he attempted to step off , in such n
manner that he described a complete eomer-
sault. The Injuries received were on thn
bead and shoulder. Dr , Ralph was called
to dress them and Cooper was sent to bis
boarding place , 200S Lake street.
Frank Collins , colored , about 16 years of
age. Is at the police station and Is being
held upon the charge of petty larceny , P.
J. O'Brien Is the complainant and he avers
that the lad went Into a switch shanyt
on the Union Pacific line near Thirteenth
street and abstracted therefrom a coat ,
watch chain , chartn and other articles.
There was a wreck at that point last Sun
day iilght , and It IB alleged that the trans
action took place ut that time. The watch
charm was found In the possession of a
watchman at one of 'the packing homes In
South Omaha , who aald that the Collins boy
bad iold it to htm. Young Collins
that he found the articles.
POLITICS IN SIXTH DISTRICT

ProspfoU of Saocm
SENATOR REYNOLDS CASTS A HOROSCOPE
Think * ( he Pnrtr Stnndu Gooil Chnncc
of KIcctlnK Connrrmimnn C'on-
cedr * the Nomination of
Klncnlil of O'Neill.
Hon. Vf. H. Reynolds , meroocr of the state
senate from the Fourteenth district , arrive !
In the city last night from Chadron and will
remain today looking after business matters
Speaking of the political situation Mr , Rey
nolds , who Is one of the prominent repub
licans In the western part of the state , said
"Republicans In the Sixth district are
particularly pleased with the flattering
prospects of success In the congressional
election this fall. There was a decisive re
publican gain In the entire district last fall
and the conditions have slnco been decidedly
favorable for republicanism. The nomina
tion of Judge Klnkald of O'Neill as the re
publican candidate for congress Is conccdci ?
The judge Is a strong man and will make a
splendid race. Ho has been on the bench
for many years In a judicial district which
was largely fusion , nnd his ability as a
vote-gotter has been demonstrated time and
again by reason of his success In the judicial
elections ,
"Who will be the fuslonlsts' nominee for
congress ? "Well , that Is rather a difficult
question for a republican to answer. As a
matter of fact It la extremely doubtful It
anyone could forecast correctly regarding
this Interrogation. The fuslonlsts scorn to
bo badly at sea , as they realize that their
candidate will have a mighty hard fight on
his hands and while there are numerous
candidates none bos yet shied his castor Into
the political ring who Is considered by the
opposition leaders to bo able to win the
election , I hear considerable talk of Judge
Novlllo of North Platte , although there Is
a well-defined boom In the western part of
the state for ex-Senator Stewart , a strong
mlddle-of-the-reader. "
EXPANSION IS THE THEME
Advocate * nnd Opponents of the I'ol-
Icy Indulge 111 Uchntc nt Peter
Cooper CInli.
There was a debate last night at the Peter
Cooper club upon the question , "Resolved ,
That the attitude of the president toward
the Filipinos and his tendency toward Im
perialism Is unjust and un-IAmcrlcan. " The
affirmative contestants were John 0. Yclscr
and E. F. Moroarlty , and the opponents
to tbe sentiment of the resolution were
Major J. S. Miller and Charles E. Winters.
Mr. Yclser net the ball to rolling with a
rigorous speech in condemnation of what
ho said < wes the policy of the president and
the administration. Ho contended that
Agulnaldo had bean called in to assist the
United States and that noon otter we made
war on him. He wanted to know what we
were to do with the 3,000,000 Chinese of that
faraway land , should we annex the Philip
pine Islands. He thought wo must cither
kill them off , or hold them In a sort of
subjection , as he did not think wo could
enfranchise them. Ho contended that the
Filipinos were not a eaago nation and
that a country that could boast of an army
of 65,000 men must be able to govern
Irsolf. 'Mr. Yelaer also contended that the
president was 'without authority of congress
to declare war.
( Major Miller said neither President ftlc-
Klnley nor anyone else had ever advocated
the annexation of the Philippine Islands.
Tbe speaker asserted that Agulnaldo was
an adventurer and that his 'vord alone was
not sufficient to guarantee a stable govern
ment In tbe Islandi > Ho held that the
president had been farced Into the war by
the Insurgents
Mr. iMorearity followed In much the same
lines of Mr. Yelser.
Mr. Winters , the last speaker , laid down
three propositions : That all people would
acknowledge that governments were neces
sary ; that all people would own that cl\ll-
Izatlon was better than barbarism , and that
In dealing with the subject not Manila
alone , not the island of Luzon , but the
whole group of Islands must bo taken Into
consideration. Ho argued from this that
a government was needed In the Islands ;
that It must be a civilized and stable ono
and that taken as a whole , the Inhabitants
were far from being civilized.
FORGOT COURTROOM DIGNITY
IIOHttlttlen of a KnmlljJnr Carried
from < lir Pnrni > nnl Into the
JuilRe'i * I'rencncc.
E. Glfford , a farmer living near Iluscr's
park , paid $5 in Juitico Cockrell's court jes
terday afternoon for the privilege of calling
J. C. Root a liar and thought ho was get
ting a bargain. Ho was the complainant In
a eult against Root for trespass. The tres
pass , according to the testimony , consisted
of going to a well on the Glfford place for
a drink of water. Mre. Qlfford , Root's sister ,
appeared and ordered him to leave , where
upon he said many uncomplimentary things
about her husband. Root had had trouble
with the Olffords some time previously.
In the course of the trial Root testified that
Glfford bad said he married Mrs. Glfford for
her farm and intended to make a elavo of
bar. At this Gilford , who was sitting by ,
sprang to bis feet , shook his fist in Root's
face and shouted , "You are a liar ! "
Glfford was promptly calmed down by his
attorney , but Justice Cockrell did not pro-
poao to have the dignity of a law court disre
garded In any eiich manner. Ho said $5
would teach Glfford what ho needed to learn
about self-control. Glfford at once handed
the court fho silver dollars , but protested
that he had had provocation enough.
When the trial was finished Root was fined
$5 and costs and In addition received a
scorching lecture from the court for treatIng -
Ing his sister as ho had. His attorney gave
notice of appeal. The fine Imposed on Glf
ford for contempt was remitted on an
apology being made.

! SOUTH OMAHA NEWS ,
The city council h s appropriated $76.506
with which to pay the running expenses of
the city for the fiscal year which commence *
on August 14. On the date of the commence
ment of the fiscal jcar the 1899 levy becomes
available and warrants may bo drawn on
the dlfforent funds on nnd after that date.
The 1899 taxes , however , do not become duo
until October 1 nnd they become delinquent
on January 1.
This year's appropriation Is divided as fol
lows Interest fund , $19,126 ; judgment ,
$6,375 ; police , J9.103 ; fire , $5.461 ; public light ,
$9,108 , water , $9,103 ; salary , $6,766 , engineer ,
$ I,4CO , general , $5,827 , street repair , $4,173 ;
total $76G06 From this total muit be de
ducted the 15 per cent reserve -which Is
held back o\ery jear by operatlpn of law.
As compared with the appropriation for
1898 the reduction Is noticeable. This jenr
the levy was fixed nt 42 mills , while In
1898 a 66-mlll levy was deemed nectt-sary
Last year's total appropriation amounted to
$103,430 , thus showing a reduction this year
of $2G.S24. On account of the payment of i
number of heavy judgments during the
present fiscal jear It has not been neccsaiy
to appropriate so much money for this fund
as ordinarily. The total of the 1898 appro
priation for Judgments wrn $30,000 , while
tbls jear the total Is but $6,375. This year's
appropriation for police , fire and water Is
about the finmo as last year , but n slight Increase -
crease has been made In the public light ap
propriation , made necessary by the location
of a number of additional street lights. A
slight Increase has been made In the general
fund for the coming fiscal jenr , but the levy
for park purposes wns omitted entirely. It
Is thought that with economical management
the different departments of the city gov
ernment can bo run for a jcar on the ap-
pioprlatlon without any ON orlop to speak of.
On account of the low le\y allowed for flro
and police departments it Is not nn uncom
mon thing to hn > o nn o\erlap In these funds
A 3-mlll levy IB not considered enough to
operate the flro department on , and neither
Is a 5-mlll levy enough to properly police the
city. Aside from the lo\les for these two
funds , which are regulated by law , the coun
cil has the power to levy what It deems best
for the other funds. Street repairs take n
great deal of the city's monej , and this fund
Is frequently depleted before the close of n
fiscal year. It requires n great deal of work
to keep the unpa\cd streets In a pasablo con
dition , leaving very llttlo money for now
work. The constant repairing of sidewalks
takes considerable money , as all repairs be
low a cost of 75 cents nro paid for by the
city. In cases where the cost rune over this
amount It is taxed up against the property.
With the miles and miles of wooden side
walks In the city It is no wonder that the
expenses in the street repair department are
hea\y. Planks from walks are frequently
stolen and in some cases new walks ha\e
been torn up nnd carried away. Especially
Is this true in the winter , when kindling
wood is a scarce article In a grent many
families.
The city officials are anxious to Increase
the permanent sidewalk districts as rapidly
as possible in order to cut down the cost of
sidewalk repairs and In a great measure to
pre\ent accidents. A majority of the heavy
Judgments against the city can bo traced to
defective sidewalks. By compelling prop
erty owners to lay permanent walks the city
Is , to some extent , protecting Itself against
judgments.

South Omaha people who are interested In
live stock , and the corn crop , wlll no doubt
bo pleased to learn that jesterdny's rain ex
tended all o\er the atato of Nebraska. In
order to obtain some accurate Information
on the subject General Manager Kenyon of
the Stock Yards company sent a telegram
to the observer at the state weather bureau
at Lincoln , asking about the rainfall. The
reply > was to the effect that rain has fallen
all over Nebraska in the last twenty-Jour
hours and that tbo precipitation has been
from one-quarter to three-quarters of an
Inch. It Is now felt at the stock yards and
exchange building that the corn crop Is as
sured , ns the rain was a soaking one and
was of Inestimable benefit. The assurance
of bounteous crops will no doubt strengthen
the price of feeder cattle within the next
day or two.
Fire IjHcanen oil School Hormo * .
George Dunscombe , the city building Inspector
specter , has prepared a communication ,
which ho will present to the Board of Edu
cation tonight In reference to fire escapes
on school buildings A abort tlmo ago Inspector
specter Dunscombo and Chairman Bulla of
the buildings and grounds committee of the
Board of Education visited tbo different
school houses and the inspector pointed out
to Mr. Bulla Just nhat was needed. The
pi'an Is to have Iron stairs on the outside
of the buildings with as many platfrom
landings as possible. In case of fire children
of all ages could escape much more easily
than If ladders were used. H Is estimated
that the cost of these Improvements 111 bo
about $2,000.

The early closing moemcntwhich was
originated 1iy the Retail Clerks' association ,
Is spreading and It Is understood that nn
effort will bo made soon to have all of the
stores closed on Sunday. An a rule most
of the stores hero keep open until noon on
Sunday. Now It Is proposed to circulate a
petition asking tbo proprietors of stores to
keep their places closed an day Sunday. The
scheme of closing the stores at C 30 o'clock
three evcnlnga a week ban not damaged
business any and It is argued that the pro
posed Sunday closing will not affect the
trade. Cards gMng notice of Sunday clos

CiniNCH Alarm.
NEW YORK , July 27. Discussing trade
conditions the Iron Ago will say today :
The uneasiness and scaiclty of labor Is one
of the most serious phases of the present
situation. Tbo slightest pretext Is appar
ently seized upon for au opportunity for a
strike. Such disturbances h.ivo their Imme
diate effect In throwing the line of Industries
out of gear , so closely dependent upon work
to the full capacity is each link In the
chain.
The lake ere situation seems to cause
most uneasiness In this direction and It
looks as though estimates of the probable
tonnage to bo brought to market before the
close of navigation will have to undergo
revision. That this has been anticipated by
some of the largo Interests Is Indicated by
the reports that arrangements ha\o been
made to haul large quantities of Lake Su
perior ere to the furnaces by rail during the
whole winter.
It Is somewhat difficult to judge of the
demand , A good manv of the urgent re
quirements which como up are really to
cover material purchased fiom but not de
livered by other makers. The majority of
the consumers of raw material seem to bo
buying from hand to mouth nnd show llttlo
disposition to place long time contract ! ) ,
unless prices are guaranteed , which Is some
times done.
On the other hand testimony from the
leading western distributing markets for
foundry pig Iron all agrees on the principle
that largo sales for delivery far into next
year are being mode at present full prices.
This is certainly not true of the country
cast of the Allegheny mountains.
The development of the pig Iron produc
tion , as was predicted , his l > een very much
slower than the sanguine were willing to
admit , but , while that was true during the
first half of 1809 , it will certainly not be
during the second half. Turnaccs to make
foundry Iron are blowing in right nnd left ,
and there will bo a notable increase in this
direction. The majority of them , It Is true ,
are sold ahead , but any disturbance of con
sumption would bo quickly felt.
The shortage of pig Iron Is most serious
In the bessemer pig and It la reported that
ono largo Interest has been drawing steadily
on its emergency Block nnd may bo soon
forced to supplement Us own supply by
purchases in the open market.
There Is very little doing in steel , al
though very stiff prices nro paid for email
lots for early guaranteed delivery. A second
eastern steel plant has taken a largo order
for steel wlro billets for delhory during the
current year.
In the west and cast the demand for bars ,
shapes , bands , hoops , etc. , continues heavy.
Car builders have placed some good orders
and season contracts from tbo agricultural
Implement makers are coming in. The
structural mills are under heavy pressure
and tbo plate mills continue swamped.
The wire Industry is reported to bo quiet
so far as now business Is concerned. This
Is usually the off season.
The Kuropcan markets seem on the creat
of on extraordinary rlso ns our own. In
England buyers seem now to be holding off
From the continent a continuous stream of
Inquiries Is still coming , buc llttlo Is being
actually put through.
