Air , llodgln , chairman of the commlttoo
appointed to call upon the nrchltoots of the
city In the interest of Nebraska building ma
terial , reported that the commlttoo was fn-
vorably received , nnd that the architects
promised to do nil they could to further the
Interests represented by the association. It
woi suggested thnt contractors should bo
looked after , nnd a case was mentioned In
which a builder represented to the owner
that if allowed to use material from outside
tha state he could bid lower on a certain
building. The architect , however , was able
to show tbnt It could not be done unless the
material used was of an Inferior quality.
The following Is the agreement entered
into with the architects , together with the

The report was received witliRonoral satis
faction , the feeling being that if the archi
tects would cany out whatthoy had promised
n great many thousand dollar ? would bo
placed in circulation In the state from the
ouildlng operations of the coming summer.
A resolution wan adopted thanking the
architects for their pledge to co-oporato with
the association In nn onacavor to stimulate
homo industries.
The question of Incorporating the associa
tion was brought up and discussed at length
in all Its bearings nnd It was unanimously
decided in the ntllrmutivo.
T.ilhi'il About an Imposition.
President Page reported that the mannperi
of thoOmiiha Coliseum would rent their
bullalng to the association for the purpose of
holding' n manufacturers' exposition and
would furnish light , power and Janitor
service , the consideration being one-fourth
of the amount received from the sale of
tickets. The president then asked : "Shall
wo have a Nebraska manufacturers exposi
tion I"
The secretary read a number of loiters
from manufacturers situated outsldo of
Omaha , in which the project was strongly
commended. With onlv ono or two excep
tions , the writers promised to make nn ex
hibit of their goods and do everything in
their power to make n success of tno move
ment.
Air. Davis of Davis & Cowglll , iron works ,
Bnul that in the expositions hotU In tbo past
few had taken part , nnd that thov had not
been much of a success , and that ho would
not want to take part in another unless all
tlio manufacturers would do so. He believed
that , the attendance would bo large , as the
association wus popular with the public.
Air. Troitlrr said that the expositions hold
In Omaha In the past had hud the backing of
only ono or two men , who went into It ns a
monov making scheme. A manufacturers'
exposition would have the backing of the
Whole association of 1(13 ( members. As for
the clear manufacturers , bo was confident
that at least two-thirds ot tham would mnko
on exhibit.
Tlio question as to the time ot holdlngsucb
nn exposition hero entered into the discus
sion. It was suggested June would bo u good
moi.lh , when the competitive drill was being
held in the city , which would draw great
crowds. At the snmo tlmo the Nebraska
Stale Business Alcn's association will hold
Its annual meeting in the city , which is ex
pected to bring in over 200 of iho retail
dealers ot the state. There was some doubt
ns to whether people could bo Induced to at
tend nn exposition at that season , when the
weather is apt to bo very warm.
VVhen to Hold It.
Air. Hodnin remarked that the city of
Omaha would bo overrun with people on the
occasion of the drill and that the Coliseum
would not be largo enough to bold tbo crowds
that would bo attracted by a good exhibit of
Nebraska made goods.
Mr. Tibbs of AI. E. Smith & Co. remarked
lliut ho was ready to work day and night foV
the success of such nn exposition and that
ho believed it would advertise Nebraska
made goods moro than any other ono thing
that coula bo doro.
Air. Farrcll said that when the project wai
first mentioned to him a week or two ago ho
wnsnot in fnvorot It , but slncu thin icing it over
carefully ho had grown very enthusiastic. It
will give us a splendid opportunity to place
tnir goods before the people. If held in Juno ,
he thought there would bo no trouble about
the attcdanco , as the crowds that come to
* ca the drill would not go homo without tak
ing In the exposition ,
Air Chadwlck of the Omaha Milling com-
panv , said that it would bo in the nature of
an educational movement , livery day people
nro asking ns to what goods are inndo In Ne
braska and such an exposition would answer
their questions. If the manufacturers of the
ttate will hcaitlly co-operate ns they no
doubt will , it will bo as lovelation to the
people.
Air. Robinson until that ho was greatly in
favor of the move , and did not doubt but
what the attendance would bo largo and that
the sale of tickets would pay nil expenses
and more. It would bo necesiary , however ,
to jflvo a good exhibit. A few manufactured
goods piled up on shelves would not draw n
crowd , as that rould be seen In any store , but
the manufacturers should make n llvo ex
hibit. They should put In machines whore
possible , and have people operating them ,
nnd turn out goods on the spot. Ho men
tioned iho great success of the corn palace ,
whk'h had become a special feature of Sioux
City , nnd ho did not see why ho association
could not make a feature of a manufacturers
ussocintion in the snmo way ,
Air. Cole of the Consolidated CofToo com
pany said lie was in favor of nn exposition
nnd would expect not only to place the com
pany's goods on lixhlblt , but would buy a
good many tickets for friends and cus-
tomois.
Mr. Kdgorton , flour manufacturer of Hast
ings , wns nsuud for Ins opinion , nnd re
sponded that lie was heartltv In favor of the
movement nnd would only bo too glad of such
tn opportunity to plnco his gooda before the
people.

The president unted thn members to fullv
roaliio that such an undertaking meant n
great deal of hard work , nud that It should
not bo undertaken unless tbo members wore
nil willing to bear their share aud that they
jnlpht far better have no exposition at all
than have a poor ono.
A vote was then taken and It was decided
without a dissenting voice to request the
board of directors to take action looking
toward tbo holding of a manufacturer : , ' expo
sition in Juno.
The meeting adjourned , but it was some
tlmo before the crowd dispersed , members
lingering to discuss iho dotaiU of ttio pro
posed exposition.

"A HOT of Mnitkrr * . "
When the curtain wont up nt Germnnla
hall l&ntovonlnir it disclosed the stage fur
nish oil with nit the rich elaborateness of a
modern parlor , even to gny drnpes nnd big
sofa cushions. Thioooladles nnd two gentle
men wsll known in Omnha's social circles
used thli carlor In the presentation of "A
Box ol ftionkuvs , " n cleverly constructed
farce In two nets. An lingllsh swell wns
quoted as saying that American girls wore
more "fun than n box ot monkeys. " nnd ni n
live American girl IB the chief character In
the farcj that explains the otherwise unnu-
countable title.
The American girl , Sierra Bongallno , is n
western product , nnd the role calls for the
portraying of n young woman who assaults
the English language and shocks the conven
tionalities with blissful unconsciousness of
the hcltioiuncss of her numerous crl.nos.
The character was assumed by Airs. Matho-
son , nnd sha played the dlfllcult part with
tine spirit and engaging vivacity. She was
called on to romp , to revel In slang , to sit on
a table nnd to frncturo the proprieties in
numerous other wnvs in order to picture the
typical American girl as Mn , Jonn Bull un
derstand ! the typo. Airs. AInthoson filled
her characterization with un aptitude of detail -
tail and action , nnd when she daintily danced
n bit ot a Jig the audience became quito
rapturous In Its onthusUom.
Airs. Peck carried the role of Mrs. Ondogn
Jhones , who represented n typo of American
tuft hunters. Airs. Pock affcctCrl tbo man
ners of a crniulc dame with easy composure ,
and the hauteur with which she handled her
loritnotto was very effective.
AIlss Bishop took the diameter of Lady
Gulniivora Llaudpnoro , an English girl who
imitates Sierra in order to acquire the "fasci
nation of American girls , " of which her
brother had raved , The role doesn't carry
as much dialogue as some ot the others , but
AI133 Bishop acted the character with grace
aud self-possession. Her expression of min
gled doubt and satisfaction when practicing
slang was a notably artistic bit of work. In
a duet with Sierra she sang very sweetly ,
nnd the two tripped n few minuet stops with
graceful movement , winning a very hearty
oncoro.
Imagine , if you can , air. Henry Estabrook ,
the brilliant young attorney , whoso argu
ment haforo the United States supreme court
recently was the talk of the country , playing
the role of a British lordling with mutton
chop whiskers and hair parted in the middle I
Aloro than that , ho portrayed an nwicwardly
bashful lover with u John Bull kink In his
tongue , nnd ho did it exceedingly well. too.
Air. Anderson had the role of Sierra's
lover , but circumstances made him assume a
number of other characters. Airs. Jhones
mistook him for a butler , and
ho carried out the deception to bo
near his sweetheart. Ho acted ns instructor
to the youne Englishman In the art of love
making , aud in burlesquing n melodrama
assumed two or Unco conventional stage
characters. The role called for considerable
volatility , and Air. Anderson exhibited
much cleverness and adaptability.
The entertainment was tar above the aver
age effort hero In amateur theatricals nnd
thorougb.lv ploascd a largo and fashionable
audience. It netted a handsome sum for tbo
benefit of the creche.
Sulmruunldt Itrcltul.
When Herr Xavor Seharwenka appeared
yesterday afternoon nt the Boyd theater ho
was gteeted by a largo and musical audi
ence. Pianists of high renown have played
here , pianists who have , perhaps , possessed
moro soul and poesy , and who have been dis
tinguished bv remarkable technical skill ;
b Jt while Ilerr Scharwenlca has made an en
viable reputation as a pianist , yet ho is bet
tor known to tbo musical world by bis com
positions. Ho did not come a stranger. His
musical works are undoubtedly master-
nieces , and had ho never written anything
out his "Polish Dances" they would have
been sufllcient to gain for him a lasting rep
illation. The enthusiastic outburst of ap
plause from the audience yesterday testified
to their ponularltv. His interpretations of
Chopin's "Funtasio and ' 'Vnlse" ( op.19 and
4" ) were very true , and his rendition of
Schubert's impromptu and march was artis
tic. In Schumann's "Nachtstuck" ho was
very sympathetic , nnd the delicacy of his
touch was well displayed.
He delighted the audience when ho appeared
as the Interpreter of his own works ,
which were admirably chosen show the vor-
sabllity of his musical brain , the "Legend"
( op. 5 No. n "Nouvollotte" ( op. SJ2) ) and
"Vnlso Caprice" ( op. 3) ) . Ho proved himself
n faithful follower of Liszt in this great mas
ter's "Kicordanza , " nnd in his nrranponipnt
of Rossini's overture to "William Toll" the
orchestral effects produced wore unusually
lino.
lino.Tho
The gem of the concert was Boothovcn's
beautiful sonata in F. minor ( op. 57) ) to
which ho did full justice. No ono ever gets
tlrod of bearing Beethoven's beautiful
sonatas and seldom has an Omnha audience
had the facility to hear ono of them more
sKillfully played.
Alessrs. Jones nnd Cummincs of the Con
servatory of Alusic tendered him n delightful
reception in the evening from 9 till li ! o'clock ,
when most of the loading musicians in the
city wore present.
Mile. OIirxtroiii'H Concert.
Mile. Augusta Ohrstrom , n now Swedish
prlmn donna , appeared with u company ot
singers at Washington hall last nicht. Tbo
attendance at the concert was good.
Alllo. Ohrstrom is a beautiful young
woman and a good musician , but she has not
the silvery , dramatic voice that a soprano
prima donna is supposed to possess , or that
she is said to have. However , she sang her
selections with grace and skill nnd pleased
the audience , as she has a sweet , clear
voice.
Miss Allco Watson , accompanist , played
several piano solos with precision , llnlsh and
skill.

The foatuio of the concert , aside from
Alllo. Ohistrom's singing , was the solo by J.
U. Bnlfo , thn bussojcontrnto. Ho possesses
n magnificent basso vloco of great rango. Ho
shared the honors with Alllo. Ohrstrom. Ho
"Thy Sentinel Am I-1 and
sang , was raptur
ously appluudod for Ilia excellent work.
Jam04 C. Abdill , n young tenor who was
with Emma Abbott a few seasons ago , was
quito a valuable acquisition to the combina
tion. Ho has n clear , distinct voice and was
heartily applauded on bis singing.
The remainder ot the entertainment was
made up by solos , duets and trios by Mllo.
Ohrstrom , Balfo nnd Abdill.

For nearly n year pist the Jobber * of
Omaha have boon seeking rollof from the fi-
cent discrimination of the rnilroidi on Iowa
business. A Board ot Trade commlttoo has
had numerous conferences with the gontlo-
mont wearing many-Jointed titles nnd has
written letters galore. The only satisfaction
it has obtained Is nn oft r pealed assurance
thnt "tho matter will oo taken up. "
The Jobber * have exhausted tholr
stock of pntlonco. They have inaug
urated n light In earnest nnd propose
to push It to n finish. A commlttoo repre
senting the manufacturlne nnd
wholesaling interests of Omaha
has had two conferonoas wltu
General Alannper Clark of the Union Pacific
during the past five days. Air. Clark as
sured his callers of tils sympathy and his do-
slro to help them , but ho has done nothing.
'Iho Om.'ilm Commercial association has
taken up the cause and proposes n war of re
taliation. Ono more conferoncn will bo hold
with the railroad managers , and if relief Is
not than promised , the plan is to begin nn
open light. The sehoraols to form u combi
nation with ono of the Iowa lines and give It
all Iho trafllo Into Omaha from Chicago and
the east on condition that it make rates into
Iowa from this point that will wipe out the
5-cont discrimination In favor ot Council
BlulTs.
The trafllc controlled by tlio Omaha Com
mercial association Is enormous In volume
and Iho concession nskad by the Jobber )
would bo a comparatively small one for the
favored rallroaJ. About two yoaw ago the
association took a sliullir course to maiio
through rates to eastern Nebraska points
etiuil to the sum of the two
locals. This was done to cor
rect n discrimination which favored through
shipments from Chicago. A reciprocity
agreement was made with the Milwaukee ,
conditioned on the other lines maintaining
their stand bjyond a llxoJ date , but the cor
porations promptly 'grnntod the Justice de
manded nnd nn open light was averted. The
Commercial association Is preparing to put
the sauio tactics Into force , if the final con
ference with the railroad magnates does not
produce a guarantee of relief , aud Us olllccrs
say they mean business.
Triiulilo Oxer tinSu nr It.itr.
There is trouble among the transcontinen
tal lines over a proposition to raise the siigur
rate from California to tbo Altssouri river.
Since the Kansas commissioners made a rul
ing on the rate to interior points some of the
Interested lines have laid plans for raising
the through rate from the coast. The result
is a merry controversy.
The present tariff to the li vei
ls ti't cents , which was maao in
order to meet sugar coining from the cast
and the south. It is now proposed to raise
the rate to $1. The apparent effort of this
move would be to shut California sugar
retii.ors out of the Missouri valley , with n
consequent loss of east bound traHlc for the
transcontinental railioids. This would
bo olTsct to most of the lines
by a corresponding trnfllc from
eastern and southern refiners , but iho
Southein Pacific and the Union Pacific are
not as happily fixed ir that respect. This
fact has lea to n lively correspondonca between -
twoon the trafllc managers of these two
roads that would furnish engaging amuse
ment If mido public.
These gentlemen entered into n compact to
maintain iho sugar rate , but Air. Mellon ot
the Union Pacific has Joined the forces of
those who want the rate raised. Air. Stubbs
of the Southern Pacific is righteously indie-
nant at the secession of his allv and used
some picturesque language to express his
feelings. For example , ho says in a recent
communication to Air. Alellon :
"Your action is not u simple withdrawal
from business considered unprofitable * *
* for have the record of
wo nany years par
ticipation in the business , oven at lower
raies , and testimony of your own people be
fore judicial bodies to the effect that it was
profitable. "
Air. Stubbs accuses Air. Alollon of entering
a combination against the Southern Pacific
to destroy tlio sugar tralllc from
tro coast. Ho charges the Union
Pacific with taking this stop without
so much ns n hint of its Intention to the
Southern Pacific. Air. Stubbs then gels in a
clincher on Mr. Alellon in the following
language :
"You have hidden it [ the intention ] justas
the o HI i nary conspirator hides his purpose
from the friend ho nropoacs to destroy. "
Of course this is sub rosa , but it gives an
interesting glimpse behind Iho scenes. The
proposed advance is equivalent to an increase
of over one-third of a cent per pound. Some
of the railroad managers nflcct the
ballot that if it is out into
effect the sutrar trust will pro
tect the California refiners by excluding
competitors from Iho territory west of the
Altssouri river. That would result In an ad
vance on sugars to wholesale and retail deal
ers in that territory. Tbo railroads inter
ested in this scheme will try to force it
through at a freight association meeting to beheld
held in Chicago this week.

The Ohio Street Lighting company lins
closed up shop and gone out of business , or
at. least , it will do so with the Incoming of
next month.
For several days the oftlcoM of the Metro
politan nnd the Ohio Street LlKhtlng com-
pantos have been figurine on a deal which
was closed at nn carlv hour yesterday
morning. Hy the terms ot the deal
tno .Mnlropolltan people como into
the possession of the 000 street
lamps , the hones , wagons , nnd in fnct the
comuluto ontllt of the Ohio Street Llilitlnp ;
company.
The transfer will take plnco Mnrch 1 , after
which the Metropolitan company will begin
work under its contract nnd furnish the cltv
wltu gn ollno lamps nt , the rule of $10 pur
lamp per annum.
President Uoorgo .1. Sternsdorff of the
Metropolitan comnnny said yesteidnv thnt
his company had boon ilgurlng on buying nut
the Ohio people for several weeks. The
Hist conference was hold shortly
after the bids for street lighting were
oponcd nnd referred to the council commlttoo ,
A'tnat tlmo the Ohio peonlo acknowledged
that they were knocked out and that , rather
than mill Up thnlr lamps nnd move , to some
other city they would sell nt a low llguro ,
The matter WHS laid bofuro the stockholtlors
of the Metropolitan company ana it was de
cided to buy.
In bp3iikliiiraf the action of the council
Inst nlqht , i'resldcnt Sturnsdorft said that
the council had acted hastily and possibly
for the purpose of working n great hardship
upon his company. The gnsolino contract
was not signed by tha mayor until last week.
Prior to that time the Mottopolitan com-
panv did not know to a certainty that It
woula sucuro the contract for lighting the
suburbs , consequently It Ulu not foci Justified
In ordering material nnd netting rendv to sot
Its lamps. It bail uhvnys been the custom ot
the council to civo a new company Just com
ing into the cltv at least thirty days'timo In
which to complete its plant and nut it in
operation. In many cases such corporations
hail been given sixty nnd even ninety days
nftor the awarding of the contract ! Tno
company , howovor. ho salu would not suffer
ns It was now ready to put In the now lamps
ntsucli times anil places as ordered bv the
city council and the gas inspector.
NrnVitliliiloil : ; , I'ciin. , IVoplo
nro not slo'v about taklnc hold ot a now
thincr. if the article lias merit. A few months
ago David IJvors of that , place bought his
first stock of Chamberlain's Cough Hemcdv.
Ho has -sold It all and ordered inni'o. Ilosays :
"It has given the best of satisfaction. I
have warranted every bottle , and have not

This is a hat. That is , the young man who drew the de
sign , or tried to draw it , rather , said it was. So we'll ' have to
call it a hatWe only had him draw if , to draw your at
tention to this spot in The Bee , and incidentally to our hats.
Now that we've got your eye , as it were , we want to work in a
little judicious advcrtisng about these same hats. We sell
Nebraska hats. They're good hats. We think they're a little
the best hats for the price that can be bought anywhere. Our
customers think so too ; not only that , they tell other folks. All
our hats are made for us direct , by the largest and best hat
makers in the United States. They're made under our own
special instructions. They've got our own special brand on the
inside.-We don't charge for the brand , not a cent. You pay us
three dollars for a hat ; you get as good a hat.as you can get
at any price. You pay some hat shops five dollars for a hat ;
that's three for hat and two for some hat maker's name on the
inside. That's straight. ] ver see our seventy-five cent hat ?
They're as good a hat as any hat store sells for two dollars
for seventy-five cents. Our new spring hats are here now
ready to look at to try on to admire yourself in to buy.
