Muslo woo the all attractive feature at the exposition Sunday and It drew a good many out ito the grounds In the afternoon and more in the evening. The sacred con cert In the ntternocn was another one of the enjoyable events of the BclUtcdt en gagement The auditorium was nearly filled when the first number was begun and the opplauso was frequent and so hearty that the program was Just about doubled. The first number was the overture from "Oboron" by AVeber. It is an Indifferent selection for a band , and proved to be the least pleasing number on the program. The Andante and Rondo Cnprlccloso of Mendelssohn was a beautiful number and given almost faultlessly. There are few bonds In the country that will attempt the ploce , hut It Is a fine thing when It Is given as it was Sunday. The "Soona Plttorcaquo" by Massanot was a sulto that was enjoyable. The "Danso Mocejbro" is a stranga selection , full ofweird and peculiar music that sets one's hair on end and gives a person the BhlTOTs. The music represents the dancing of skeletons at midnight and Is full of V graveyard tones and soul-harrowing sounds. \ The Hallelujah chorus brought the con tort to o fitting close with Us great burst of sound. The encores were especially fine , the Intermezzo from "Cavalllera Rustlonna" nnd the oriental "Bamboula" that has be come such a favorite since Bollatcdt has been hero. The former , with Its pentup longing and seemingly Irresistible sadness , was given , wlth fine effect. The latter , with ltd cheer ful chirp of the cricket , the sound of sing ing birds and , above all , the quaint oboe solo , was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The features of the evening program of more than usual excellence were the over ture "II Guarany , " ' b # Gomez , and the solo for four druma. The qvorture Is a now one and Is a big selection broad and full of original ideas. Mr. Nlckell was received with great applause for Jhls drum solo. This evening the band will be heard In the auditorium and the program will be a classical one almost exclusively. The day will 0)0 a quiet one , as every one Is saving nil energy for Tuesday , which will In all probability be one of Iho greatest days ever Tv'lthess'ed1'In'the'history ' of the'state , as the ' fighting First will arrive on that day , and' great tlmo has been planned for Its recep tion. PAINTINGS IN GALLERY NO. . Itoom > IB Given Over Montly to Lnnd- The Fine Arts building was visited by large numbers Sunday and thn many good pictures received a good deal of study and attention. The favorite picture up to the present time seems to bo "The TrackleM Ocean" by Sheppard. This bit of seascape In the second gallery Is always surrounded by a group of admirers. Gallery No. 3 has eighty-four canvesea on Ita walls , but no one of them Is of superior excellence , al though all are of more or less merit. The picture , "Cloudy Day on the Coast of Hol land , " by Bogert , Is perhaps one of the best thing * In the room. The clouds are particularly good , the coldness being re lieved by a burst of sunlight through a rift. "In the Garden , " by H. S. Smith , is A vivid piece of painting , old-fashioned ( lowers being the subject. A garden seat under a tree and a path through the flowers make up the scene. The "Truck Garden , " by Tracoy , is a homely subject handled well and makes an effective picture. Cabbages and vegetables of the sort are not artlstlo In themselves , yet the painter has succeeded In making , a good picture with difficult subjects. "The Tide Crook , " by Hartson , Is a marshy , cool looking picture that reminds one of Sidney Lanler'a poem , 'The Marshes of Lynu. " "Getting Light , " by Parshall , Is a picture of an old man lighting his pipe in the shelter of a wooden shoe. "A Wet Night , Fifty-ninth Street. " Is a bit of ef fective work. It shows the tall buildings of New York. drenched with rain and wrapped in deep shadows , which are made to look deeper and gloomier by the faint glimmer of the night lights of the city. A bunch cf pink roses by Albert Rothcry of Omaha has a place In this gallery. Tba flowers are done well and are fresh and life like. The room Is pretty well given over TAKES A HIGH PLACE Stands Well in the Esti mation of the People. Attention is Nnturnlly Excited When Anything is Prnisuc by People 'When We Know. A thing that ntauds high In the estimation of the public , nnd which U especlallr recom mended by Omaha people , naturally cxclton our attention more than It our own people did not prulso the article. Such a thing U going on right here In this city every day , people are praising Morrow's Kld-ne-olda because they cure , Thcro la no deception , no humbug , they do positively cure , and we furnUsh the evidence. Mr. H , lj. Small ot 1810 Ohio street , snyt : "I have eudered from kidney trouble for the pait ten' years.

A gentleman from Virginia occupied a rocker at one of the hotels Sunday even ing and discussed political matters with the other guests. Ho talked with a broad south ern accent , and was very positive In his opinions. "I can name three combinations for the presidential nomination , either of which will be popular In my state , " said the Virginian. "First I would take MeKinley and FItzhugh Lee ; next I would name Mc- tvtnley nnd Joe Wheeler , and If that couldn't be done I would pick McKlnlcy and lloose- velt. Either combination would be a winner , sir. " The 'visitor from the Old Dominion ibnamched off Into a discussion of the war. He had no sympathy for the men who were complaining of hardships. "I had a younger brother who went to Cuba , " he said , "and when he came back I asked him how ho got along. Before he had time to answer , though , I warned him not to kick about the treatment of the soldiers , or he would get thrashed. I reminded him that his father went all through-the rebellion on the con federate side , suffering for want of food nnd clothes and everything else'but ' never kick- Ing. Well , sir , after that the boy never growled a bit. He said the- trip down there was no picnic , but he guessed It was a snap to the side of what the Virginians enjoyed In the sixties. " "I have no patience with these fellows who cope homo kicking about the treatment , " continued the Virginia man. "The chances are you will find that many of them had better clothes , better food and more pocket money than they ever had before In their lives. " Rev. George R. Lunn , who has for the past nine months been pastor of the Bedford Place Presbyterian church , leaves this mornIng - Ing for the cast. Ho will go by way of Dilluth and the great lakes and arrive nt Cambridge , Mass. , In about three weaks , whore he 'will ' take up study In the Epis copal school , and also take a post graduate In Harvard university. Rev. Mr. Lunn Is u young man of many attainments. Ho was educated at Bellevue college and later went to Princeton university. He enlisted In the Third Nebraska regiment and was in tha Cuban campaign. Mr. Lunn leaves the church In this city with the well wishes of all the members of bis congregation. His farewell eermon was preached Sunday and the oarvlco 'was a very affecting one. J , C. Dahlman , chairman of the democratic state committee , who Is In the city , said In answer to on inquiry regarding the head quarters of the committee for the coming campaign that it had been settled that the location would be in Omaha. Tbo purpose was t ° get rooms in one of the leading hotels , but the selection 'had ' not yet been made. Ha did not think any ccnfuslon would come out of the fact that the popu list headquarters would be located at Lin. coin and the democratic at Omaha. I'cTHOiial Pnrnirrnplm. B. H.

DRIFT OF COUNTY CAMPAIGN Great Interest in Bepublioan Ward Meeting ? , Especially for an Off Year , SCOTT'S ' PLUGGERS STILL AT WORK Con ClnllnRhcr tlnnkcrn for Office I'cle Eluniiiier AVnntn to Step Into Alliyit Prnnk'H Shoe * M J- Donnlil'H MnnlpnlntlonH. Now that the dntca for the republican nnd democratic county conventions have bewn eel the first on Saturday , September 9 , and the latter on Saturday , September 16 the political pot Is beginning to sim mer. Candidates who hare been regular at tendants at the republican club meetings say that they have never seen eo much In terest In the ward meetings In an off year as Is apparent In this campaign. The meetIngs - Ings are all well attended , there Is a general disposition to harracnlzo differences as far as possible and It la noticed that many re publicans turn out who do not usually taka much Interest In politics except In a presi dential year. As the date of .the fusion convention approaches preaches there Is a good deal of agitation of tha question whether any of the repub lican candidates shall bo endorsed. Some of the democratic delegations to , the judicial convention are Instructed to demand a straight ticket , but thcro Is a strong senti ment In other quarters In favor of endorsing two or three republicans. Some of the democrats are demanding the nomlnatlta of Judge Powell and a large element Is IN favor of endorsing at least two of the re publican candidates. Judges Estclle , Faw- cett and Kcysor are most frequently men tioned In this connection. A email element Is still plugging for Judge Scott by advocating the nomination of only etx candidates , thus leaving one place vacant. This was the plan that Scott's friends proposed to work In the democratic ! county convention If they had not been so largely outnumbered and they Insist that they will renew the fight In iho judicial convention. Con Gallagher la making a vigorous cam paign for the fuslcn nomination for sheriff and Charley Fanning , William Hayden , Walter Molso and others of that Ilk seem to constitute his eteerlng committee. The only argument that they are advancing In favor of his candidacy Is the assertion that there are a lot of republicans who are Just waitIng - Ing for a chance to vote for Gallagher Just to splto Ilosewater. Gallagher's candidacy Is not regarded as eerlous toy the friends of other candidates , but It leads to the con templation of the scft snap the "gang" would have on Its hands with Gallagher sheriff , Shields county attorney , and Fan ning and Molse la the saddle. Pete Elsaseer still ueema to be pretty nearly the whole thing among fusion as pirants for Albyn Frank's job. Harry P. Deuel Is being pushed to some extent by his friends , but he saye he Is not a candi date unless Frank Is nominated by the re publicans. In that case It would be a llt- tlo too easy a thing to overlook and ho would llko to be on the ticket. The decision of Judge Dickinson that he will not be a candidate for tha republican nomination for supreme judge Is received with general expressions of regret In local republican circles. It had been regarded as practically settled that he would be the candidate and J that he would defeat Hoi- comb by a decisive majority. Now the knowing ones are compelled to rearrange their plans and select another candidate who will bo equally strong. The retirement of Judge Dickinson has Incidentally revived suggestions that Judge Keysor would be an excellent man. Ono of the peculiar features of the re publican county campaign Is the very active part that Is assumed by Sheriff McDonald In endeavoring to manipulate the situation to lit a purpose that has so tor been pretty closely concealed. McDonald Is ostensibly assisting Jim Wlnspear to eeouro the re- noralnatlon of Albyn Frank , but It has de veloped to a certainty that his activity con templates more directly some additional preferment for himself. McDonald has now served two terms as sheriff , during which he Is said to have laid by over $20,000 for a rainy day. While he has been apparently working solely In Frank's Interest , he Is getting things fixed for a spring Into the ring himself when the proper time comes. Some time ago McDonald announced that ho was not a candidate for anything and that he waa particularly out of it as an aspirant for a third term as sheriff. But at the same tlmo ho spent his entire time fixing up political fences and his office has been a headquarters for politicians of a certain brand. It was hinted that McDonald was fully aware that Frank could not possibly be renomlnatod and that he was pushing the forlorn hope In the expectation tha/t / he would eventually be the legatee of Frank's prospects. Then some of his friends began to feel the pulse of the politicians to ascer tain how he 'would be regarded as a candi date for mayor next spring. The responses wore not encouraging. The workers de clared that McDonald had had enough for the present , and now It la pretty clearly understood that ho has reverted do the idea of another terra ao sheriff. It IB not a part of his plan to be an open candidate , hut his efforts are directed toward creating a situation In which he can pose as accepting the nomination under protest. For several weeks be has been en gaged In boosting the weak candidates -with a view to creating a deadlock In the con vention. If this can be accomplished hla friends are ready to urge his acceptance of the nomination as a compromise and he can then coyly agree to eacrlflco bin Incll- nations out of regard for the Interests of the party. Another very significant feature of the situation la the extravagant efforts that arc being made by the democrats to boost Albyn Frank's candidacy for clerk of the district court. Nine democrats out of ten are plug ging for Frank as enthusiastically as Intelli gent republicans are demanding a clean candidate. Not the least active In thin respect are the friends of prospective nom inees on the fusion ticket , who recognize the fact that Frank will be a good easy thing If he ever gets on the ticket , They agree with the republicans in the opinion that he would surely be defeated and the motive of their anxiety in his behalf Is obvious. SPEECH THATJHIT THE MARK An Karlr Convention Ilrlnv * Ilellef lethe the Slim Pentered by Friendly Candidate * . The speech that made the hit at the re cent meeting of the republican county cen tral oommltteo was ihat by C. W , Johnson , the Rontul elevator man ot the city hall , who \vos acting as commlUeeroan from the | Birth ward. Mr. Johnson got up to express his views as between an earlier or a later convention. "The reason I favor the earlier date , " he said , "Is because I want this campaign to begin as soon as possible. I want the cam paign to becln as soon as possible because It Is the only way to bring us a rest from the raeo who are after nominations. Everyone - ono of us 1s besot every day with from a half a dozen io a dozen men who want our support in tb primaries tad the couaty convention. There must bo nearly a dozen candidates for ev ry office , A Boon as we have the convention theeo will bo reduced dorm to only ono for each office and we mny hare eome relief , lx < t us have the ogony orer as sxxm oa possible. " * Mr. Johnnon ntnick n sympathetic chord And It In cccdlora to oay that his side of the question prevailed. OMAHA NEWS , 6-4. . These who are In a position to know -what they nre talking about glvo several reteons for the continued high price of beef , General pros perity throughout the country , easy money , and the reported ehortago of fat caltlo this ftoason are given as reasons , along -with the Increased demand at this tlmo. Large quan tities of beef are now being shipped to Cuba and Porto Illco , whllo great quantities of canned meets ore 'being ' constantly purchased by the government for the use of tha army nnd navy. The demand for boot , It Is stated , Is greatly In excess of what U waa two years ago , and with the reported shortage of cat tle Uio former and etock raiser are receiving mow for their cattle now than for several years post. In connection with this subject the Texas Stockman and Farmer has this to eay : "While beef Is high wo believe that still higher prices will prevail , There Is a ohortngo of ran go cattle and this shortage cannot bo made up tn a day or In a year. Again , the population ot the country Is In creasing something llko 1,000,000 souls per year , -which U a much greater ratio than can be hoped for In the supplies of baof. Cattlemen certainly have a bright future before them , and while prices may for a brief period go below present values , etlll no valid reason can bo assigned why beef value * should go much below present fig ures for many years to come. " The utter lack of knowledge on the part of the consumer ds given as ono reason for the high prlco of the choice grades of meat , 03 the demand for them Is greater , and the butcher Is compelled to charge a big price In order to come out even on the balance of the carcass. For aomo portions of the carcass there Is almost no sale , while of the choicest portions tions there Is not enough to supply the de mand. Consequently the less desirable portions tions are sold at such prices as will attract buyers , and for the choice portions enough moro onuat ho charged to , make up the de ficiency. A great many people have gotten Into the habit of demanding sirloin and porterhouse steaks and rib roasts , and look with disfavor on the chunk and round steaks. It Is stated that In none but the poorer class of restaurants Is round steak to bo had. Further , It Is asserted that this Is neither economy nor correct dietetics , for the forequarters , embracing the chunk portion tion , are moro nutritious and better for food than any ether part of the beef. Of the hindquarters the round Is the best for food. Dealers In meats here have made at tempts to Increase- the consumption of the parts other than the loin and rib portions , but have made very little progress except with a certain class of trade. It Is claimed that the prevailing high price of loins nnd ribs ought to teach customers the value of rounds and chunks and thus ultimately prove a real benefit to the people , First class butchers here are selling rib roasts at 12 % cents a pound , as compared with 10 cents a pound a year ago. Porter house steak now sells for 20 cents a pound , an increase In price of 6 cents a pound , as compared with a year ago. Sirloin has advanced 2V4 cents a pound within the last few months , but the other grades of meal have advanced only slightly. City Coniicll Meeting Tonight. A great deal of Interest center * In the meeting of the city council tonight , and It Is expected that standing room will bo at a premium long before the meeting Is called to order. It Is presumed that routine busi ness will first bo disposed of before the mat ter of the mayor's resignation is taken up. At the last meeting a resolution was passed calling upon his honor to resign forthwith and as ho has not seen fit to comply with the demand , an Investigation may result. Street rumor has It that the differences oupposed to exist between Councilman Johnston and the mayor will bo patched up and that the expected "hot time" will be declared off. Mayor Ensor still Insists that the fight Is between Johnston and himself and he does not seem to take Into considera tion the fact that six members of the coun cil signed the resolution demanding his resignation. Another street rumor has It that the ut most harmony does not prevail among the six members of the council who voted for the resolution and If this Is the case the Investigation will no doubt prove a fizzle. In his numerous Interviews Mr. Ensor has been Bmort enough not to attack 'the coun cil , with the exception of Johnston , and It Is presumed that lo this way he hopes to cause disruption In the ranks of the six and thus prevent enough members from voting again on 'his resignation proposition to make the necessary two-thirds. As It takes a two-thirds vote of the council to Institute Impeachment proceedings it can readily be seen that If the six do not etlck together there can be no Impeachment and no Investigation , Although Johnston Is the acknowledged leader of the Impeachment movement , he has been letting Ensor do most of the talking , BO no one except bis Intimates know Juet what toe will spring on the mayor In case there Is a showdown. It Is reported that the mayor proposes i at tonight's meeting to take up the reso lution passed and discuss It In detail. He will defend hlm'self and attempt to show where Johnston has a motive In this move , Ensor says that Johnston wants to be the next mayor of South Omaha aad IB at tempting to secure a hold on the people by dragging him down. On the other hand , Johnston Insists that he la tired of politics and la not an aspirant for anyi office. In fact , he even goes BO far as to say that he ie sorry he allowed tils friends to push him to the frcot as a candidate for member of the council at the election last spring. At any rate It Is reported that nt tonight's meeting It will be discovered Just where the colored gentleman Is concealed If there Is one In the wood pile , lletallern anil the Ileef Trait. The New York Herald has this to say of the beef trust ; "New York retail butchers , co-operating with the retailers of the other largo cltlss , have decided to fight the beef trust to n finish. They Intend to establish Independent slaughter houses , Independent supply sta tions and Independent distributing systems In all parts of the country , completely sev ering their business relation with the "big five" combination. These back of this gigantic enterprise that they wll | be able to raise at once from $15,000,000 to $20,000- 000 to carry It out and they are confident ! that later they can get as * .mny millions moro as may be necessary , John D , Rocke feller Is named as one of tbo capitalists who may put large sums Into the fight to down the beef trust. " Cuttle Condition * III A'ehrunku. R. H. Watklns ot Alliance spent a day or BO In the city the latter rort of last week and In rpeaklng about matters of Interest in his eectlon of 'the state said that the grass In northwestern Nebraska this year la the flneet ever known and naturally cattla are in fine condition , Mr. Watklns Is of the opinion Chat there are more cattle In his section of the state this year than ever before. Stockmen generally nre pleased at the condition of their herds , as a goud profit Is In sight. Shipments to market may be bold back for eome time yet as the pas ture Is unusually fine and the owners of herds are desirous of putting on all the fat the cattle will stand. Further , Mr. Wntklni enys that thoop CAtttomcn who stocked up on southern cattle Inst year nre making good money on their holdings. Conditions generally nro better that ever before. Hrok'fi ItrnlRnntlcm COIHPH Tonluht. It Js expected that nt tonight's mcfUng of the Board of Education Prcf. J. A , Beck will tender his resignation ns principal of the High school. It the resignation Is ac cepted , which it undoubtedly will be , the High school will be left without n principal or assistant principal nnd the board will bo called upon to fill both of these places. Members of the teachers' comroHtoo still fAVw a man for the position of principal and the chances are that sumo ivcll known educator will be chosen for the rlaco. Mlse Hottlo Moore has been proposed for assis tant principal and It Is possible that 8ho mny bo chosen , although scino ot the mem bers of the board are ot the opinion that a much more satisfactory person can be se cured for the place.
