There weio live of these as fol lows : Rivervlow park , Miller park , the poor farm site , Rust Omaha and Elmwood park alto. Previous to the reading of the bids u resolution was offered by John C. Wharton , providing for the appointment of C. E. Yost , J , II. Milliard and R. S. Wllcox as a com- mltteo of three , to which all bids for sites ahoulil bo referred , the committee to bo em powered to employ a competent engineer and a competent architect to carefully examine the proposed sites and report In writing to the committee their findings and conclu sions , the committee to report such findings to the full board uf directors at a nicotine to bo held January 23 , without any recom mendation on the part of the committee aa to 'Its conclusions regarding the desirability of any of the sites. General Mandcrson suggested that the word "non-rcsldcnt" bo Inserted before the words architect and engineer and urged the necessity for securing experts who would have no Interest In the matter. DIDS IN DETAIL READ , In response to a strong sentiment the sec retary proceeded to read the bids In detail. All except the East Omaha proposition were very leucthy and contained extended argu ments In support of the propositions sub mitted. The advocates of each silo weie represented 'In a numerous lobby and the reading of the verncoo propositions was llstoucid to with close Interest , The propositions , in brief , were as fol lows : The East Omaha proposition waa sub mitted by John A , Crelghton and offered about 170 acres lying north of Cut-Off lake , the only provision being that the ground should ho left In the same condition \\lmi vacated as when taken possession of by the Exposition association. The Ulmwood park proposition was sub mitted for the Omaha Fair and Speed asso ciation by Oscar J. Plckard , G.V. . Kelly , A. demons. W. L. Kolby , Daniel L. Johnson and A. T. Klopp. The proposed silo Included Elmwood park and thu adjoining fair grounds belonging to the Fair and Speed association. I' Tha Miller park proposition was submitted | by David H. Ohrlatlo , secretary of the North Side Improvement association ; John L. Car son , W. II. Saundcr * . J. V. Craig , J. E. Wlg- maii and W. S , Wedge. The proposition In cluded a tender of 240 acres adjoining Miller park , which contains an additional eighty acrori. and near to Fort Omaha , which con tains nearly elchty acres , Thu Klvervlow park proposition was sub mitted \ > y the South tilJt ) Improvement club and was signed by John Powers , president , and F. K. Darling , secretary. It comprised 240 acre * of land adjoining Rlvurvtow park , which .wttre offered ( roe of rental. To the proposition were attached agreements by John Green , N. J. Smith , J. H. Dumont , John Rush and Frank and Gcorgo Sauttor , owners of the land offered , agreeing to Its use free of all charge. The "poor farm site" was submitted by W. J. Connell "on behalf of himself and other property owners. " It offered the "ab solute , exclusive and unrestricted use of the land west and northwest of Hanscom park , bounded on the south by Center street , on the north by Pacific street and extending westward from Thirty-third street to a ault- able and satisfactory point west of the Dclt Line railway , Including , as may bo desired , from 12S to 100 acres. " This waa offered free of all expense except such alight expense as might by entailed by the removal of a few cheap houses now localed on the land. The resolutions adopted by the Hoard of County Commissioners and the Park board were read for Uio Information of the direc tors. DCDATING THEIR DISPOSAL. Mr. Wharton accepted the suggestion of General Mandcrson regarding changing the resolution offered by him to iirovido for em ploying a non-resident engineer and an archi tect and 'moved the adoption of the resolu tion. tion.Mr. Mr. Llndsoy wanted the resolution amended to provide for having a representative of each proposed stto on the committee. Mr. Rosewater suggested that a landscape architect bo employed Instead of a building architect. Mr. Wharton changed the reso lution to comply with this euggestlon. Mr. nitchcock advocated Increasing the committee by adding Mr. Klrltendall , the manager of the department of buildings and grounds , Mr. Llndsey , chairman of the executive committee , and President Wat tles , for the reason that these gentlemen have given the matter of a elto close con sideration , and would bo qualified to pass on such questions. Governor Saundcrs opposed this sugges tion , and advocated leaving the selection of the site almost entirely to experts who have no personal Interest In the matter and could not bo charged with blaa or prejudice. Mr. Wharton opposed any Increase In the number of the committee , and made a strong talk In support of his position. Mr. Kountzo opposed throwing any re sponsibility for the selection of a slto upon men who had any personal Interest at stake. Mr. LlmUoy withdrew his amendment and a vote was taken upon the amendment of Mr. Hitchcock , providing that the com mittee should consUt of six members , by adding Messrs. Klrkcndall , Llndsey and Wattles. The roll was called and the amendment was lost , the vote standing : Yeas , 1C ; nays , 27. The resolution was then adopted as originally Introduced , except that It pro- fd for a nonresident engineer and a non resident landscape architect. President Wattles reported that the com mittee appointed to report a plan for the enlargement of the plan and scope of the cxpailtton , by the enlargement of the di rectory , had not completed Its work , and asked further time , which was granted. The executive committee reported regard ing permanent headquarters that It bad been unable to decide between two locations , the I'axton blcck and the Ramge block. The rental In each wrs the same , and the com- mlttco had no preference. On motion of J. C. Wharton the I'axton block was selected for permanent head quarters. On motion of C. S. Montgomery , a com mittee of three lawyers waa provided forte to examine Into the question of the power of the city of Omaha , county of Douglas , and stale of Nebraska , to make appropria tions In aid of the exposition. The chair appointed Messrs. Montgomery , . Mandcraon and Webster. , ANOTHER ASSESSMENT LEVIED. Chairman Llndiey , for the executive com mittee , recommended an nEJjesjmcnt of 1C per cent on the etqck of the awoclatlon , thU aueuimcnt to bo payable In three equal Installments , and due February 1 , March 1 and April 1 , respectively. The recommendation of the committee met with favor , and the assessment was ordered. At the request of General Mandcrson the secretary dated that $18,143 had been col lected on the first assessment , and of this amount $1,210 had been expended , leaving a balance on hand of $13,927. F. M. Youngs , the labor representative on the board , Introduced the following reso lution : Ilcsolved. Tlmt nil contracts entered Into by this bonnl , Its ofllccrs or ngcntH , for work pertaining to the Triinsmlsslsalppl and International Exposition must ftlptilnto therein that resident labor of Douglnn county skilled or unskilled shall bo given preference ove-r ull others , mid that un- Hkllled labor shall bo paid no less limn | $1.60 per dny ; provided , that 'ho eald stip ulation shall not apply to works prosecuted by other stales or outside Interests. In support of this resolution Mr. Youngs made a brief speech , urging Its adoption. Mr. Llndsey said the exposition Is not to bo an Omaha show , and there . should bo no attempt made to bottle It up by restricting It In such a way. General Mandereon Mid ho did not doubt that the exposition would be conducted , as far as possible , along the lines Indicated In the resolution , but ho was opposed to giving notice to the world to that effect. Ho moved to refer the resolution to the executive committee for consideration , and for such action as It thought best. Director Wells of Council Dluffs eald ho had worked for the support of the exposl tlon , and his principal argument had been that the laboring interests of the city over the river would bo given recognition. He said If this resolution should pass ho would be helpless. He also stated that ho had In tended to go to the state legislature to work for an appropriation for an Iowa exhibit , and had Intended to lay particular strcsvj upon the fact that the Exposition was to bo a transmlsplsslppl affair , but ho said If this resolution was adopted his hands would bo tied and ho would feel llko dropping the matter. Governor Saunders spoke very earnestly on the resolution. Ho warned the supporters of It that It.i adoption would bo fatal to the success of the exposition. He predicted that such action would make the exposition an Omaha affair , and would take away the breadth of character which It was designed to have. Ho urged the Introducer to with draw the resolution. Mr. Youngs said ho was on the board as a representative of labor Interests and waa not acting on his own motion , entirely. Ho refused to withdraw the resolution or make any change In It. Ho said it did not In any way affect the work to bo done by other states or outside Interests. He thought the effect of the resolution on the Nebraska leg islature would bo good rather than the re verse. The motion to refer the resolution to the executive committee was then adopted , Youngs being the only ono to vote against the reference , The board then adjourned to meet In two weeks to receive the report of the special committee on sites. Short SfNHloa of i\eeiidve Hoard. The executive committee of the exposition licld a Btiislon both before and after the meet ing of the Hoard of Directors. Acting upon the request of the mayor , the committee recommended the appointment of G. R. Williams , G. G. Wallace and T. S. CHarkson as roinmlsdoners for Omaha to the Tennessee Centennial exposition at Nash ville. A communication from C. S. Montgomery was read , In which he agreed to glvo his services free of charge as advisory counsel to the executive committee. The rule * and regulations governing ox- lilbllors and concessionaires were reported back from the rpcclal committee , and were approved and ordered printed , The committee adjourned until tomorrow noon. PARISH LINES SETTLED St. John's ' Collegiat3 Has Been Made a Parish Church. BISHOP SCANNELL'S ' NEW BOUNDARIES Frle.tlon AVIilch HUM Exlxted Ilctivecn Two Catholic Or aiiUiitloiix In ThlH City for Several Venrn , 1'cuuefiilly Removed. A rearrangement of the parish boundaries of tlio Catholic churches of Omaha has beer decided upon by Bishop Scauncll and will probably bo announced In the churches concerned - corned during the services today. For some years past considerable friction has existed between St. Peter's pariah and St. John's Colleglato church. When the lat ter church was undertaken about ton years ago the Intention was to limit Its functions to the purposes of the college , as Ha narao Implies. Tills -was soon found to bo 'Im practicable , for Bcorca of families regularly attended services there. The greater num ber were drawn from St. Poter's church , and their absence made serious Inroads Into the revenue necessary to maintain It. St. Peter's , therefore , has had a grievance for many years and the college church another. Inasmuch as It enjoyed none of the rights and privileges of a parish church , and yet had regular attendanta. Doth grievances liavo been disposed of by making St. John's a parish church. The boundaries of the new parish are Twentieth street on the east , Dodge on the couth , Thirtieth on the west and Parker on the north. This square takes In portions of the Holy Family and St. Peter's parishes , whllo a small addition la made to the pai'lsh of the Sacred Heart. The cathedral parish lines nro undisturbed. In consideration ofcreating St. John's n parish church the Jesuit fathers now In charge of the Holy Family church will re linquish that parUh Ho the secular priest hood. The change , "lt la said , will occur within a few weeks. ' 'I r 'tr * ThlnUN There' I * , n Coal Combine. OMAHA , Jan. „ ? 7To the Editor of The Dee : In your Issue of the 7th Inat. , you noticed our arVcBtvfor not taking out a retail coal deMcra' license. Evidently you wore not conversaiitjwlth the facts leading ' up to tha action cqm'nicncod against us , and therefore failed to1 enlighten your readers aa to the primary cause. The situation la ab'oUk llko this : There ap pears to bo an organized coal combination In Omaha which doalrcao ( | dictate to the con- ( turners where and , p/ , whom they ahall buy their coal , and at what price. If any pro ducer of the artlclo or Individual outside of this combine has the termcrlty to engage In the retail coal business without ! joining thin combination and agreeing to adopt Us methods and prices , they are at once boy cotted , and a combined effort Is made to drive them out of buslncca. Wo are guilty of conducting a retail coal business Independent of and outside of tula coal combination , hcnco our arrcat nt , wo believe , the Instigation of this outfit Wo liad not refused to comply with the ordi nance , but were waiting the action of more Lhan fifty other dealers , who , llko ourselves , liad not taken out a llcenuo , and have not oven at this writing. We believe the citizens of Omaha are justly iroucl of their hospitality and fair treatment } f strangers , and an wo were about the last ( Irolcra to engage in the coal business In your city , why should wo bo alnglcd out to bo made an example of , when more than a ecoro of dealers who have been engaged In the business for years have repeatedly re fused to take out a license as required by previous ordlnanccu ? Wo note there Is scarcely an Issue of your paper but what you have an artlclo Inviting business enterprises and capital to locate.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY. | gccccccocccccccocccc ccc coco The members of the Omaha Camera club have made wonderful progress In the art of photography In the past two years , judging from the pictures displayed on the walls of their club room , which is a competitive ex hibition of three classes of pictures land scape , portrait and Interior work. The se lecting of the subjects , especially In the land scape work , h\s been done with wonderfully good taste. The quality of the negatives Is exceptionally good. The printing and toning has been well executed. In the selection of mounts and 'mounting ' , which Is ono of the Important points , thcro Is room for Im provement. An amateur will sometimes select a most beautiful and artistic pleco of scenery , make a line negative and print , but when It comes to mount .ho thinks thin part of It less Important , and thereby spoils the picture. The proper style of mounting adds wonderfully to the picture. Thcro Is nothing , perhaps , that Is nioro striking , when visiting a photographic exhi bition , than the diversity of artistic senti ment shown In mounting a photograph. The first point I would emphasize Is that all mounting accessories should bo selected that they may servo and not master the picture that Is the occasion for their use. The pur pose of mounting and framing , at Its sim plest. Is to put the picture In a convenient condition for looking at It , and to protect It. They also servo the purpose of separating It from the surroundings on the walls of a room. These I take to bo the chief and very legitimate ends sought after. But mounting may have two other effects ; It may licip to concentrate attention on the picture that Is good ; or it may attract attention to Itself at the expense of the picture that la bad. I will not go Into detail and explain my Ideas as to what "tints" should bo used , but I hope the point will bo observed. On Monday evening , January 11 , the first meeting of this year will bo held by the Omuha Camera club In the club rooms , 131" Farnam ntreet. Three Judaea will ho ap pointed to award the honors to the lucky ones. Thcro will be first , second and third prizes on landscape work ; first , aocond and third on Interior work , and first , second and third on portraiture. The amateur photographers of Council Dluffs are about to organize a camera club. This Is a good move. Great advantage Is gained by having meetings and exchanging Ideas , and for this purpose a club room Is necessary. Especial attention should bo paid to the dark room , so as to have It largo , airy and convenient. Thcro should bo running water and many other arooEaorles , for thcro Is where the most IntoirzliiiK work > la done. A sk > light for nn amateur club room H not nocoMary ; In fact , I think It Is a detriment to amateur photography. More attention bhould bo paid to out-cioor work , scientific experiments and literature. This last season has added a great many now amateurs to the list. A kodak or hand camera was very conspicuous among Uio Christmas presents Ihla Benson and the re cipients of the same have been busy and very much Interested In producing their first plcturea. Some have been successful , whlla others have failed.

A group of three Dannock and four Shoshone - shone Indians , In feather regalia , at tracted a largo amount of attention nt the union depot yesterday afternoon. They ar rived In Omaha from their reservation at Fort Hall , Idaho , Friday night , leaving for the cast on the Northwestern last night. Washington , D. C. , Is their destination. J. C. lloyt , land commissioner of Idaho , who was In charge of tho1 noble red men , stated that they were on tholr way to the national capltol for a consultation with the "Dig Chief" In connection with the sale of n per tion of their reservation to the government. The rcservatlpn Includes nearly 1,000,000 acres of land , much of It being fertile. The Indians could only converse through the medium of an Interpreter , and did not appear to bo very communicative at that. Mr. Hoyt stated that they had not even made him acquainted with the exact naturu of their Intended proposition ( o the govern ment. Ho understood , however , that the deal contemplated an exchange of certain lands In the present reservation for others owned by the government , where belter hunting existed. In event of the transaction being made a largo tract of land will bo opened for settlement by white people. TO CORE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
