RECOGNIZES WESTERN ART ASSOCIATION nitt for firnilliiK ic Orotiml * Are OiK'ncil , hut Contrite ! In .Not il lli-nuiii' of Ili-lny by the City Council. 'At the meeting of the executive commltlec of the TransmlsslBslppI Exposition yesterday afternoon the Department of Exhibits , which Is to form one of the most Important departments of the great show , commenced to lake on definite form. Manager Bruce , In charge of this department , has been giving the details of his department the most careful consideration since his clccllon as a member of the executive committee , and the result of his deliberations was partially revealed at the meeting of the committee yesterday by a number of rccom- mendatlonn made by Mr. Bruce In connec tion with the detail work. His first recommendation was that the con trol of the bureau of fine arts be given Into the hands of the Western Art association of this city , the art association to be em powered , when the proper time comes , to employ a general superintendent , subject to the approval of the executive committee. The suggestion met with favor at the hands of the committee and was adopted. At the suggestion of Mr. Bruce the salary of Mrs. Frances M. Ford , secretary of Iho Lady Board of Managers , was fixed for the present at $1,000 per jcar , with a lem- porary arrangement that she should bo paid only for half time In order that she may devote a portion of her tlmo to her prl. vatt business. Mr. Bruce also suggested that at some later time n space to be later agreed upon Rhould IIP assigned to the women In the liberal arts section. TWO HONORARY APPOINTMENTS. On recommendation of Mr. Bruce , Prof. Owens of the Nebraska university was ap pointed honorary commissioner for the elec trical section of the Department of Exhib its and W. K. Boordman of DCS Molnes was appointed honorary dairy commlsssloner for Iowa for the stock and dairy bureau. The offer of the geological survey of the government to lake charge of the exhibit of mines and mining was , on recommenda tion of Mr. Bruce , laid over for future con sideration. President McKlnney and J. II. Moss , a commllleo from Carpenlcrs' union No. 427 , appeared before Ihe executive committee to protest against the employment of men in building the fence around the exposition grounds for twenty cents per hour. The del egation claimed that the work of building R fence war. carpenter work and insisted that men employed on that work should bo paid twenty-five cents per hour. In reply to questions by members of the executive committee the delegation said that the men now employed are receiving twenty cents per hour and are working ten hours ; they asked that the men be given twenty- five cents per hour , and employed only eight hours. WORK IS DISTRIBUTED. They were Informed by the committee that General Superintendent Gcraldlne , actIng - Ing under the direction of the committee , had employed men living In Omaha , those with families being given the preference , and tuat these men were employed for a week or ten days and then laid oft in order to give employment to , another lot of jiien so that the money cxpcnd&'dtll \ go"as far as possible In glvlug work to the greatest number. . , , "Thedelegation' approved this plan , but Insisted that If the men were paid five/ / cents more per hour and made to work shorter hours there would be more money expended and more men would bo given work. After Ihe delegation had retired the mat ter was discussed by the executive com mittee and was referred to Mr. Geraldlne. The tabulation of the grading bids opened at the last meeting was taken up and It was found that Van Court & Wlnn were the low est bidders. They bid on both dlstrlcls. On district No. 1 , lying east of Twentieth street they hid 9.7 cents per yard for completing the work In forty days , and 0.5 cents for completing it In sixty days. On district No. 2. lying cast of Twentieth street , they bid C.7 cents for either sixty or forty days. No action was taken toward awarding the contract for this grading on account of the failure of the city council lo pass the ordinance cloblng Twentieth street from Pluknoy street to Ames avenue. Until this street Is closed no work can be done In the way of grading. The commllleo adjourned unlll Wednesday of Ihls week to await the action of the flty council tomorrow night. If HIP ordinance closing Twentieth street Is pahscd , the con tract for the grading will be let at once , but If the ordinance Is not passed the work will bo delayed until the council acts. The rommlllco was Kreally annojed by this failure of Ihe council lo act , as every delay may prove expensive to the exposition. vvoiiit nrun i. > VIICUUAI/PAHADK.

There was a goodly representation of the Woman's club at the meeting yesterday In splto of the rain , but the rcqutrM majority not being present the question of Incorpor ating the club was deferred to another meet ing ; though that had been the special order of the day. Mrs , Sudborough explained the legal atcpfl necessary and the constitution committee was asked to consider the changes which the operation of Nebraska law would make in the constitutional status. Mrs. O. S. Chlttcnden presented a resolu tion , which was seconded by Mrs. Heller , Inviting the International Kindergarten as sociation to meet In Omaha next year. It was enthusiastically carried , and Mrs. Chlt- tendcn and Mrs. Heller were made delegates to the meeting of the association , which meets In St. Louis next week. The chief discussion of the day centered around a letter from the Board of Educa tion , which was read by Mrs. To/wne. It contained the request that the club ask Governor Holcomb to sign the bill giving the board power to fix the amount of tax levy for school purposes. Mrs. Crclgh thought It discourteous to bring this matter before Iho club , since Ihe directory had tabled II on the ground that It Involved polltlqs. She moved to lay on the table , but the motion being losl , discus sion was opened by Mrs. Sudborough , who wished to ask questions of Prof. Pearso and Secretary nillau , they being present by Invitation , The latter gentleman said that the question was not a political one , news paper statements to the contrary notwith standing. Every school district In the state , excepting Omaha , had power to fix Its own levy , the limit being defined by law. Ho gave sonio school history and said that the council was not sufficiently Informed as to the needs of the schools to bo competent to fix their Income. Mrs. Rosewatcr wished lo hear both sides , She thought newspapers usually told the truth and she tiald that the salaries of the teachers would bo cut , no matter how much money the board controlled. Mrs Heller thought all responsibility for schools should be boruc by the board , which body Is a flexible ono and can bo changed under public disapproval. She would not allow her neighbor to fix the Income and ex penditures of her famllv. Mrs , Crolgh thought the taxpajorn would not bo willing to put unlimited power Into Iho hands of the school board. Mrs. Tow no said the pica of overtaxation must not apply to the schools. Wo can do without other things , but our schools must not suffer. To this Mrs. Damon agreed. Dr. Lankton wished to go on record for honesty and decency. There is bill one side to these questions , and thai Is Ihe rl ht side. When we stand against Income from taxation we stand for Income fiom vice. Mrs. Sudborough and Mrs. Jayncs would have the police fines and license fees de voted to the general fund , and schools sup ported by tax levy only. The long and somewhat heated discussion was closed by a statement by Prof. Pearae to the effect that labt year the appropriation per capita for the schools was $2S , while ten years ago It was $54 ; that the wages of women teachers had been reduced from 5 to 15 per cent , while these of the mole Janitors had fallen 30 per cent , and that the council cannot Investigate needs of the schools and err from lack of Information. At this Juncture the question was called for and the request of Ihe letter was granted by n small majority. The program. In charge of the Department of English Literature , Miss Zoller chair man , was opened by a piano duct , "Polo- nalso" by Motkowskl , played by Mrs. Lento and Miss Alexander. The papers were : "A Baconian Bouquet , " Mrs. Hancock ; "Spen cer's Women , " Mrs. Crclgh , and "Chaucer Up to Date , " by Mrs. Cole. Mis. Dorward gave a recitation from Sheridan's "Rivals , " and in response to an encore she described "How Birdlo Studied Delsartle. " A second musical number rendered by Miss Alexander and Mrs. Lerilo was Nevln's "Valse Caprice. " The birthday party of the club will occur on April 24 , from 3 to 5 o'clock , at which time Mrs. Stouteuborough of Plattsmouth , the president of the State Federation of Clubs , will deliver an address. The child study class will meet cm'Wednes day and Miss Morgan , supervisor kinder gartens , will rcaft a paper on "What Chil dren Like to Read.

MISSOURI RIVER GOING OUT ON A TEAR Wntcr HlKlirr Thnn It linn Ilccn nt Any Time Since the I'M o oil ( lint Slxlcrii Yearn Ann S | Over the I.onlund * . The water of the Missouri river Is higher now at Omaha than It has been for the past sixteen years. No damage was done during yesterday , but the water Is still rising and all property along the river bank is be ing watched very carefully. The consensus of opinion of property owners along the river hank Is that the river may rise from three to four feet yet before any damage , except to the outer hanks , Is sustained. The water Is rising , and It Is expected that It will rise from twelve to sixteen Inches before It will begin to fall , The go\ eminent measurement on the middle pier of the Union Pacific bridge yesterday showed water nt the height of 14.8 feet. This Is the highest the water has been , not only this beason , but for many years. During the flood of 1881 the water measured twenty-five feet at tint point. The term "danger lino" Is a relative ex pression , and Is Interpreted differently along the river bank. The Union Pacific olfidals consider eighteen feet at the bridge to be the danger line. According to this the river has still over three feet to rise before the danger line Is reached. The Union Pacific Is watch- lug Its tracks along the river bank very closely. Tour switch engines and a number of flat care are stationed on the tracks nearest the river , so that the company may be prepared for any emergency. The firm of Her & Co. Is also guarding Its property very carefully. No goods have yet been moved out fiom the storehouse. Although the- water Is rising rapidly , the firm reports that It can stand four feet more water yet. At noon Captain Reynolds , chief engineer of the water works nt Florence , reported that the water there was at a point higher than It had been since the pump houto was located , seven years ago. It measured sixteen feet eight Inches , and had risen six Inchon since G o'clock In the morning. During thp night It rose one foot and a half. The water works' engineers have no danger line , hut Captain Reynolds says If they had , they would consider the water at the danger mark now. now.Up until 3 o'clock In the afternoon none of the Omaha railroads had received reports of any damage along their respective lines duo to high water. The tracks of the Sioux City & Pacific , on the Iowa elde of the river , nro resting upon soft ground , and the trains are being run over them very cautiously. They ere not , however , regarded as being In a dangerous condition. The river made considerable Inroads at lllair Sunday , and for a time threatened the bridge of the Northwestern road. A gang of workmen was at once sent there , and worked the remainder of the day , all that night and yesterday In filling In around the bridge with stone and other material to stop the approaches of the mad waters. It was reported yesterday that the bridge was In no danger , and that the cuttlng-ln of the river had been effectually stopped. nilCAKINO INTO FLORENCE LAKE. During the afternoon In the vicinity of Florence the river rose very rapidly and lata In the afternoon the water swept away the piling and broke Into Florence lake , causing that body of water to rise nine inches In the six hours following 2 o'clock. Last night the dairymen and most of the settlers residing In the bottoms surround ing the lake moVcd to higher ground , taking with them their stock and their household possessions. Following this overflow the low lands between Florence lake and Cut-Off lake were flooded to a depth of several inches , the 'water ' surrounding many of the houses In North Omaha. Later In the after noon the water commenced to pour over the north end of Sherman avenue and at dark the stretch of country north of the Missouri Pacific viaduct and from the bluffs to nearly as far east as the ridge that separates CutOff - Off lake from the old liver bed was an Inland sea. In North Omaha most of the houses were surrounded by water , while the sldc- walKs were floating about , loosed from their mooring * . On the low ground north of Nicholas street most of the houses were surrounded by water , and ( luring the night a great many of the occupants moved out. At midnight last night the engineer at the pumping station at Florence reported that the river had risen twelve Inches during the past twelve hours and was still rising at the rate of an Inch an hour. He said that the bottoms north of Florence were covered with water to the depth of from three to four feet and that all of the settlers had moved to the high lands. In East Omaha the people were high and dry at midnight , but at a point ono mile west of Swift's Ice house the water was three feet deep over the Union Pacific tracks. SMELTER IN DANGER. At 2 o'clock this morning the river was still ilsing rapidly and was then within two feet of flooding the ground on which the smelting works stand. Fiom C o'clock last evening to 1-30 this morning the water had risen between six and eevun inches at that point , and had been rising more rapidly Blnco midnight. The smelter company has made no effort to rcpof the water or protect Its property , but the Union Pacific rallioad has had a gang of men all yesterday and last night just south of the pumping station with cailoads of slag. This work will bo kept up as long as it is of any avail in pro tecting the property below. The North Omaha sewer outlet comes down Into the river near where the Union Pacific gang Is at work and the bottoms between the smelter and the water works settling basins ara covered with water. Six or eight families of squatters living In. this part moved out of their hpuses at midnight , taking with them all their movable property. Among these was the family of John Doyle , whose house was already surrounded with water. The river at 2 o'clock wan rising as rapidly as at any time during the day or night , carrying down with It flections of houses , pieces of bridges , and wreckage of nil kinds. _ _ _ For curing catarrh and cold in head there Is no equal to Ely's Cream I3altn , Trial size 10 cents. _ Tilt-re IN No Gliimuro In the running time of the Burlington's "Vestibule Flyer.

In addition to theirrgular routine of btisl- ncrs the resignation of Alva. J. Grovcr as a delegate rcprcsnntlnp the Nebraska di vision of the I-cnpuolot American Wheelmen was read ami accepted The proposed cyilo < path to Florence will probably bo delayed somewhat , from the fact that the railroad company requires moro cinders , and In order to fulfill Its contract with them the waterworks company will bo unable to contribute the cinder covering for the cycle path Just at , the present lime. If , however , voluntary contributions como In as rapidly as desired It may be that some other substance may bo BUb'tltuted , but -which will necessitate the expenditure of more money than was at first thought necessary. There are something like seventy sub scription blanks with the leading dealers anil wheelmen of the city , and the promoters of the cycle path ara anxious to see the wheel men who are to receive the direct benefit como forward and contribute to the fund at once. In view of the fact that certain parties who rldo wheels seem to have little or no regard for the safety of pedestrians or them selves and continue- ' the practice of fast rid ing over our streets ar.d public thorough fares , a resolution was passed by the Asso ciated Cycling Clubs , asking that two police men , who are riders of the "silent steed , " bo appointed to regulate the speed of wheelmen generally , as well as lake necessary steps toward having glass and other1 obstructions removed from the strcels , and the following were recommended for such officers : George Barnes and Samuel D.

His argument was mainly de voted to the proposition that the writ should Issue to compel the county to do its checking moro rapidly. County Attorney Ilaldrlgo said that the checking was proceeding us rapidly as pos slblc. He showed that the county had em ployed experts to check up Moores' bills and the court dockets and that the work was going on. Ho argued against the Issuance of the writ for the reason that the county should bo allowed to get the matter In thr most favorable condition to make a final claim against Moorcs when the total amount to bo claimed by the county shall have been determined , and not he compelled to jeopardize its claim by pushing a suit be fore this amount has been learned. Judge Slabaugu took the matter under advisement and gave notice that he would render his decision Wednesday morning at 9:30 : o'clock.
