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

mm ABOUT TOWN.
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.

DRIFT OF COUNTY CAMPAIGN
Great Interest in Bepublioan Ward Meeting ? ,

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

" For several years my health was
miserable. I suffered the most dread
ful pains , and was almost on the verge
of insanity. I consulted one of the
best physicians in New York , and he
pronounced my disca&c a fibroid tumor ,
advising an operation without delay ,
saying that it was my only chance for
life. Other doctors prescribed strong
and violent medicine , and one said I
was incurable , another told mo my
only salvation was galvanic batteries ,
which I tried , but nothing relieved me.
One day a friend called and begged mete
to try Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. I began its use und took
several bottles. From the very first
bottle there was a wonderful change
for the better. The tumor has disap
peared entirely and my old spirits have
returned. I heartily recommend your
medicine to all suffering women. "

When the children's best clothes come from the
wash with the colors faded and streaked , and with worn
spots showing in places where there should be no wear ,
then you may know that your laundress is using some
thing besides Ivory Soap.
You can save trouble and expense by furnishing her
with Ivory Soap , and insisting that she use it and noth
ing else. The price of one ruined garment will buy
Ivory Soap sufficient for months.
