Opens with Elaborate Oeremouies.

IS BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
Enthusiastic Crowds Testify to Huecass
of the Illg Show and Praise Omaha
Enterprise-Many Attractions and More
Are Constantly lining Added.
{ Promptly on time the gates of the
First Greater America Colonial Expo
sition were opened on the morning of
July 1, and the last great educational
enterprise of the 19th century Is now
well under way, its beautiful grounds
und magnificent buildings thronged
with crowds of visitors, who are sur
prised and pleused to find their ex
pectations more than realized. The
buildings and grounds are complete
and the principal exhibits already in
place. A large force of men, working
day and night, ure rapidly bringing
order out of chaos and a few days will
serve to put all the splendid displays
In position.
The grounds cover about two hun
dred acres und are arranged In four
sections, or divisions. The most im
portant section is the Grand Court of
Honor, where the principal buildings
are grouped around the lagoon. East
of the Court lies the Bluff Tract, the
also be found the agricultural exhibit,
which promises to surpass anything
of the kind ever seen in the West.
The principal buildings have been
changed but little except to Improve
here and there, and to brighten up and
add a few finishing touches to exter
iors. More important changes have
been made In the landscape gardening.
The general plan followed last year
has not been changed but It has been
added to and vastly Unproved. About
the Court of Honor sections of the
brick walks have been removed and a
number of small gardens relieve the
eye and Increase the pleasing effect of
the whole. Tropical plants and flow
ers will give a brilliant touch of color
to the scene r.nA supply the necessary
contrast to the white and stately
buildings and the reaches of green
sward. In the center of the court the
clear waters of the lagoon give back
to view the fairy picture, while the
fountain flashes in the sunlight and
{ally decorated water-craft glide here
nd there.
Rudolph Ulrich, the well-known
landscape artist, has been at work on
the grounds nearly 3 months now,
having a large force of men In bis
department. During May be had more
than one hundred men employed, and
In June that number was more than
doubled, as sevenil car-loads of trees,
plants, and shrubbery from Calfornla,
Florida, Louisiana, and Hawaii, are
now arriving, and many men will 1st
needed to take care of this stuff and
place it In the ground. Many of these
will be strictly native plants, and very
valuable and rare In this latitude,
some of which have never been seen

southern part of which Is arranged as
a park, with stretches of green sward,
avenues of shade trees, and plats of
flowering plants and shrubs. In this
trad stands the Horticultural Build- |
lng. given over to the display of fruits
and flowers, and In front of which Is 1
a large aquatic basin almost filled j
with water-lilies and other blooming
plants. Within the building will be a
magnificent display of tropic and sub
tropic plants, trees, vines, and fruits
Stately palms, orange trees and all the

flora of the Philippines, Cuba, Porto
Rico ami the Hawaiian Islands have
been tastefully grouped, and will show
the resources and vegetation of our
colonial possessions. This is one of
the interesting, exhibits of the exposi

Woman’s lluilding and the building
devoted to the use of the various fra

This la especially true of the Florida
plants, and also of the Hawaatan, col
lection, several cars coming from
those Islands. In addition to the
plants already on the grounds there
has been over 260,000 new plants set
out this year. The palm and oleander
features will be conspicuous, as It is
intended to have a wonderful collec
tion of these among others. In addi
tion to the trees on the grounds last
year, nearly two thousand new ones
have been set out, making the Grand
Court and other parts of the grounds,
green, cool, and shady, as well as add
ing greatly to the general effect. A
race-track, half-mile, has been made,
which Is very neat and attractive.

A Transcontinental Railway Line Under
Vanderbilt Control.
OUTLINE OF THE GREAT SCHEME
Nam* Old Story Revamped—Pennsylvania
Road Said to He Looking to the Con
trol of the Santa Fe System—A Third
Transcontinental Line Likely to He
Halit.
NEW YORK, July 13.—The Tribune
says: One of the certainties of the not
distant future, In the opinion of Wall
street, Is the establishment of a trans
continental railway line undpr Vander
bilt control. The Boston & Albany,
the New York Central and the West
Shore are the Vanderbilt lines Unking
New York and Boston, the great cities
of the eastern seaboard, with Buffalo;
and Buffalo Is Joined to Chicago by
the Lake Shore, the Michigan Central
and the Nickel Plate.
The Chicago & Northwestern, which
Is practically a Vanderbilt road,
stretches westward from Chicago to
Omaha, where It meets the Union Pa
cific, a controlling Interest In which
the Vanderbilts ure credited with hold
ing. The western termini of the Union
Pacific are Granger, Wyo., and Ogden,
Utah, at both of which points the road
connects with the Oregon Short Line.
From Granger the Short Line runs
northwestward to Huntington, Ore.,
where It connects with the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation line extending
to the Pacific coast at Portland, and
from Ogden a branch of (he Short Line
goes southward to Milford, Utah, from
which place the Utah & Pacific is being
built Into California, It Is reported ,4.
with a view to enabling the Union P.. t(
clfle to gain entrance into San Fran
cisco, Ah already said, the Vanderbilts '
are commonly understood to control
both the Northwestern and the Union
Pacific. But the Unipn Pacific In turn
Controls the Oregon Short Line and the
Oregon Shoyt Line virtually controls
the Oregon Railway & Navigation com
pany. With these several controls
within controls, Wall street argues, It
will not be beyond the power of Wil
liam K. Vanderbilt to realize the amhl
yon which he is everywhere believed
to cherish of coalescing these connect
ing lines Into a vast system from ocean
to ocean.
While It Is well understood that a
cordial understanding exists between
the New York Central under the broad
management of William K. Vanderbilt
and the Pennsylvania under the guid
ance of Its new president, A. J. Cassatt,
this understanding, evtendlng to the
development of plans for a division of
territory In New England and to an
agreement to act together In the main
tenance of rates, no one now believes,
If Indeed any one has ever believed,
that a consolidation of these two great
systems, occupying such part of the
field east of Chicago, would be effected.
As these neutral rivals In business are
working In harmony east of Chicago,
so they may bye and bye be found
competing on a basis of good faith and
mutual regard In the western country,
for rumors are beginning to be heard
with Increasing persistence that the
Pennsylvania, like the New York Cen
tral, Is contemplating an extension of
Its lines to the Pacific. The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Is the road which
report has It will he combined with
the Pennsylvania to form the second
great transcontinental system.
A third transcontinental line. It Is
believed by not a few observers of the
trend of railway ownership and affili
ations, will some day be formed by the
■consolidation of the Baltimore & Ohio,
the Great Northern and the Northern
"Pacific, but this combination Is thought
to be further away than either of the
other two,

A 01ASH OF SENATORS.
—
Mr. Chandler (lun After the Sralp of
Mr. Galllnger.
CONCORD, N. H., July 13.—Repre
sentatives of the United States civil
service bureau began a pitting here
for the purpose of Investigating charg
es preferred against Senator Jacob H.
Galllnger of Concord by former repub
lican Governor Charles A. Buslel, al
leging violations of the civil service
laws during the last campaign in this
state. The specific charge Is that Sen
ator Galllnger, as chairman of the re
publican state committee, distributed
circulars appealing to republican office
holders for contributions to the cam
paign fund.
Governor Buslel read a long state
ment as to his reasons for acting In
the matter, saying that he was ani
mated by a desire to see that the civil
service laws, in which he believed,
should be wisely enforced. The lavish
use of money In elections was a men
ace to our natlonul Institutions. He
was not actuated by any uufrlendly
feeling toward Senator Galllnger In
prosecuting these charges, and ho had
no desire for “revenge.”
Senator Chandler then came forward
with his statement, which he prefaced
by a short history of his connection
with political committees, lie said he
retired from the republican national
committee in 1884, and from the state
committee in 1890. Senator Chaudler
continued:
“I said to Senator Galllnger In 1895
and again in 1896, that he ought to
leave the state committe for reusons
connected with the civil service law,
but he would not go. In 1896, much to
my surprise, he took the chairmanship
of the state committee. After I had
recovered from my surprise I went to
him to endeavor to co-operate In the
work pf the campaign. We talked
over the means of rulsing money,
both agreeing that very little would
. needed. We spoke of Individuals,
o c mlnees for state offices, but noth
t , £^as said of federal office-holders.
j was on October 10. Between that
ti'je and October 17 I heard that an
assessment circular had been sent to
federal officers. Governor Buslel asked
me if 1 knew of this assessment, lie
said he had reason to believe that a
circular for assessment bad been sent
to office holders, and he produced u
circular which had oeen sent to rtate
officers, and said that some of them
had been sent to federal officers. We
had a long conference, the result of
which was that he said he would com
plain to the civil service commission
unless some way could be found to
prevent these officers from being as
sessed.
Accordingly Governor Buslel with
my knowledge, asked the commission
about the terms of the law. He came
to me later and said that he had de
termined to make a complaint. In this
I concurred, aud the letter of Octooer
24 was prepared, containing the names
of those to whom It was believed that
the circular had been sent. I did not
go again to the commission during the
campaign. The rest of my connection
with the business was ad in the cor
respondence with the commission. 1
called on the commission when I went
to Washington last fall, and told them
that I would be at tnelr service. Th!*
is substantially all I wish to say. if I
find that the federal office holders who
have been requested by the commis
sion to appear here do not come, or
if they come and do not testify, I shall
tell the commission all 1 know about
the matter.”

WASHINGTON, July 13— Inquiry
was recently made at the state depart
ment In regard to the grave of John
Paul Jones, the great naval hero of
revolution days, who died In Paris July
18, 1782. He was buried there with
the highest honors by the French gov
ernment, but it appears that the pres
ent location of his grave is not known.
The secretary of state recently ad
dressed a letter to Mr. Henry Vtgnaud
of the United States embassy In Paris
asking whether the grave of John Paul
Jones in Paris is known and marked.
He has received a reply from Mr. Vig
naud saying that, although he has
made earnest and frequent Inquiries
of the city authorities in regard to the
matter, he has been unable to discover
the wherealsjuts of the grave. One
tiling established by his inquiries,
however, he says, is that John Paul
Jones was not hurled in the ee f otery
where the remains of Lafayette lie, as
has been supposed hv some people. In
another quarter it is intimated thnt,
owing to a custom prevailing In Paris,
the remains of John Paul Jones were
deposited In a rented grave for a term
of years and thnt upon the expiration
of the lease a great many years ago
th*' hones of this distinguished Ameri
can were thrown inio the Potters’ field.

Last week there were Issued 474
patents to citizens of the United
States. Of this num
ber 155 had sold
either the entire or
part of their interests
In their Inventions
before the patents
were Issued. This
would show that more
than a quarter of the
Inventors hnve been successful, nml is
probably an Indication why so mnny
applications are filed in the Patent
Office. It is certainly safe to assume
that at least 10 per cent of inventors,
who were unable to sell before they
had their patents issued, will be able
to dispose of their inventions now that
they have been secured by a title.

the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them In the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, heuduehes and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver an<l bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
