"The Pan-American exposition Is grand.
One could not wish for finer grounds and
buildings and the electrical display Is beau
tiful beyond belief,'' said Mavor Frank E.
Moores, who has returned from Buffalo.
"Tho exposition Is nit a success, however,
as the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition was,
The management lacks the vigor and push
of tho men who mado our exposition pros
per In the fate of awful odds.
"Located as It Is In a country where the
population Is very dense, the Huffalo expo
sition should be having two or threo times
the attendance It Is attracting at present,
It Is thought that all the bonds Issued to
build the exposition will be paid, but
stockholders wilt not be paid back what
they Invested In the big show. The In
come was mortgaged to bankers, who have
had control of expenses and have limited
the advertising to such an extent that tho
exposition has been greatly handicapped.
"The electric tower Is the pride of the
grounds nnd Omaha should be proud of
Henry Rustln, who made such an electrical
display possible. I do not believe that
anything more beautiful than the Illumina
tion of the grounds will he created during
this century. With all the power of Ni
agara behind the electricians, they were
able to turn the grounds Into a fairyland.
It Is a beautiful sight when the lights are
turned on In the tower each evening. All
the lights In the groundB arc extinguished
for a moment. Then the tower and the
buildings show a faint touch of red and In
moment all nre ablate with brilliant
lights,
"Mrs. Dowser's sod house Is probably the
most successful conccKslon on tho grounds,
from n financial point of view. Mrs.
Bowser Is serving tho best meals on the
grounds und has more business than she
can attend to. Her concession la strlctlv
Nebraska affair. All her cooks and
wallers are from Omaha. She Is showing
eastern people what good chicken pies and
other homc-mado dishes Nebraska women
can make. It Is estimated that Mrs.
Dowser will clear about $25,000 on her sod
house.
"All the Omaha men who have conces
sions at Huffalo are making money now, but
are much disappointed In the size of the
crowds. Tho largest attendance for any day
so far was 127,000. This Included all per
sons employed on the grounds and was no
larger than the TransmlssisslpprR banner
day. when 99,000 paid admissions were re
corded. "If the management of the Huffalo show
had had some Omaha push and get-up the
show would have been a great financial suc
cess. Thcro seems to havo been no well
developed plans for rushing crowds In on
special days. As soon as the exposition
opened the management choked off adver
tising, assuming that the exposition would
advertise Itself."
SURFEIT OF BUFFALO STAMPS

.Souvenir that Ilr Doesn't Know
What In Do.
Postmaster Crow Is not particularly
pleased over the fact that his offlco now has
on hand more than 3,000,000 stamps of tho
Pan-American exposition Issue. Tho Hale of
theso stamps concludes on October 31 next,
and all surplus remaining In offices nt that
time Is to be forwarded to the redemption
division of the Postofllce department at
Washington for credit.
The postofllce authorities here would much
prefer selling these stamps to returning
them, so they wish published broadcast
over this community the fact that they havo
plenty on hand. There are some pcpple, es
pecially stock yards business men, who for
some unknown reason prefer the Pan-
American stamps, and nil such will have
the opportunity before October 31 of buying
In a stock. They will be good for an In
definite period, although the sale will be
stopped.
Postmaster Crow has 1,500,000 each of 1
and 2-cent stamps of this Issue, but It Is
not those that are worrying him. They
can bo easily sold out by tho end of the
month. However, there Is also on hand
nbout 25,000 each of tho 4, 5, S and 10-cent
varieties, and It Is feared that somo of
these will be loft over.

Stewart Edward White has laid the set
ting of "The Westerners" In tho Rlack
Hills during the early rush to tho gold
fields. Tho two central figures to the plot
oro a young girl, Molly Iafond, growing
to womanhood In a rough mining camp, and
Michael Lafond, n scheming, revengeful
halfbreed, her supposed father. In his
younger days Lafond had been wronged, as
he thought, and to repay the Injury he had
caused the death of a young mother and
had stolen her child during an Indian raid.
"If you wish to harm a person tako away
that which he loves best, but that Is not
life," a white man had told htm. So the
child was preserved and brought up on bd
Indian reservation ns tho daughter of the
halfbreed. Men asked few questions tn
those days. When the girl, Molly, was
almost a woman Lafond came for her and
took her to tho mining camp of Copper
Creek. To have her grow to womanhood
coarse, hardened, disreputable, as were the
women of the camp, that was his plan.
Then he would tell her of her family and
her birth. Her shame and remorse would
be bis rovenge. Rut this end was never
accomplished. A New England conscience
asserts Itself at the right moment the love
of Jack Graham, a young miner from the
east, offered a refuge. The evolution of
tho girl's character and the development of
Michael Lafond's cunning and coolly laid
schemes furnish the Interesting elements
of tho plot. The Intermittent humor and
the sketches of the western life of that
picturesque period ore especially note
worthy. McClure, Phillips & Co., New

"Equal Partners," by Howard Fielding,

of consequence, engaged to Drenda Maclane,

beautiful young actress, and breaks his
marriage engagement In consequence. A
few hours later Elsie Is found cruelly
stabbed In her room, with n gory knife be-
sldo her and a tender note from Alden In

and others, and Drenda visits the hospital to

George Dlrd Grlnnell. whose new book of
Indian tales entitled "The Punishment of
the Stingy and Other Indian Stories" Is
Just published, has had a unique experience.
He has been dignified by the title of War
Chief by his friends nnd admirers, the
Pawnee Indians, and during his association
among them and with other tribes of the
red men he gathered material for most ex
cellent Indian stories. Sitting with them
by the aides of their fires at night, he has
had tho unusual privilege of listening to
their legends and folk-lore, Just nt they
have been passed on for many generations
from slro to son. Such records are not only
most entertaining In the form In which the
author presents them, but they nre of last
ing value In the history of tho native
races of the American continent. Among
the stories contained In the volume are:
"Little Friend Coyote," "The Girl Who
as," "Rluejay the Imitator," The Noth

"Fighting Under the Southern Cross." bv
Claude H. Wetmore, Is a story of the Chlll-
Peruvian war, W. A. W'tlfle company, pub
lishers, Roston nnd Chicago. Mr. Wet
moro Is peculiarly fitted, by nature, train
ing and circumstances for the telling of this
story. A practical newspaper man, his
stylo Is strikingly simple nnd direct, and
to this he adds tho observations gathered
in extensive travels. Ho was for Bome
time city editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
nnd has been prominently Identified
with other papers, but his best known pleco
of newspaper work, perhaps, was his re
port of tho Johnstown flood for the New
York World, which was remarkable for its
graphic descriptions nnd faithful portrayals
of fact. Mr. Wetmore was In tho very vortex
or the extraordinary struggle of which ho
writes In the "Southern Cross." As a non
combatant he mingled freely with both
sides, and Is ns conversant with tho people
and conditions of these South American
republics as Is Kipling with the various
phases of Indian life. Tho story Is full
of sparkling Incident, charmingly told.
There is not a dry page In it. Much his
torical and descriptive material is Intro
duced, but so cleverly Is It Interwoven with
the thrilling situations of the narrative
that It Is dominated by them, nnd tho
reader absorjba unconsciously what would
be otherwise rather dry facts. Threo Amer-

whom tho reader learns the facts of the
controversy between the two countries.
which later culminate In a declaration of
war. The history of this war has been but
Beldom touched upon and still less often In

It with another, dealing with the troublous
reconstruction period after the war.
