The contract for grading the lakes nnd
lagoons for the Transmlaslealppl Exposition
Was executed yesterday and the work
will bo pushed as cxpcdltlously ns possible.
Van Court & Wlnn wcro the successful bid
ders tor the cdtlro work. Their bid was 9.7
cents per yard on that portion of the work
lylnn cast and G.7 cents per yard for the
portion lying wcat ol Twentieth street. The
cntlrs work will require the removal of about
80,000 cubic yards of earth.
The contract with thcno bidders rcqulrei
that the work Dhall bo completed not later
than Juno 25. They are given ten days from
the signing of the contract to get thslH men
to work , nnd , the entire Job Is to bo conn
jilcted In forty days.
The contractors will use two grading maChines -
Chines nnd several "wheelers" on the work ,
necessitating the employment of about forty
men. This grading "outfit" will bo removed
from the present location to the exposition
Grounds at once , and the work will be pushed
to completion.
The contractors liavo been literally overrun
with nppllcanta for work since It became
known that they had underbid the other com-
jictltora. They tell all comers that no men
will bo employed until the tlmo comes to
start the work.
The ordinance providing1 for the temporary
closing of the streets mi the exposition
grounds has been signed by the mayor and
no obstruction now remains to prevent the
work of enclosing the grounds and commenc
ing the grading. The fence around the
Kountze tract Is nearly completed , but
Twentieth street will not ho closed until the
progress of the work makes It absolutely
necessary.
The building of the fence around the large
tract forming the northern section of tha
grounds is progressing rapidly , and that
around the tinct east of Sherman avenue la
ixlBO well under way. The ohape ot Iho
grounds makes a great amount of fencing
necessary , netrly five miles being required to
enclose the entire ciound.
LAYING TIIE CORNERSTONE.
The committee having In charge the ar
rangements for the Inauguration ceremonies
Arbor day Is making good progress. It has
been decided that the cornerstone to bo laid
on this occasion shall be that of the Trans-
mlsslsslppl Arch , the striking and artistic
triumphal arch of the transmlsstsslppl states
which will apan the main entrance to the
exposition. This arch will bo ono of the
unlquo features of the great show and will
bo a moat attractive example of the use of
color In producing architectural effect. The
arch will span Twentieth street on the south
line ot the Kountzo tract and will be a land
mark visible for a long distance. The corner
stone at the southeast corner of this arch
will bo laid by the grand master of Masons
of Nebraska , with the Impressive public ceremony -
mony ot this great order. Judge W. W.
Koysor , the grand marshal of the grand
lodge of Masons ot Nebraska , was at the
grounds Thursday with President Wattles
of the exposition to arrange for the location
of the surroundings necessary for the ccre-
inocy. The platform for the speakers and
for the ceremony of laying the cornerstone
will bo at the east sldo of Twentieth street
at the site of the arch.
The Masonic grand lodge has taken an
active Interest In the matter of laying this. ,

to the lodges throughout the state to bo
present on this occasion and tnko part in
the ceremony. It la cxpcctpd that fully
1,000 Masons will bo In line In the parade ,

William Mablo , a prominent citizen efFort
Fort Collins , Colo. , was in the city yester
day while enrouto from Chicago to Ills home.
Mablo was accompanied by a couple ol
friends , who watched him closely during
their short sojourn In this city. He Is
thought to bo temporarily deranged. Ho has
been cngageJ for about a year perfecting an
alrbralte. Ho has bent his ! -wholo energy to
the task and , so his friends saj- , has fre
quently worked upon his Invention nights
for a week -at a , time. Ills strong constitu
tion has at length broken down under -the
severe strain , and It is now feared by his
friends that ho will become hopelessly In
sane.
About a month ago Mable completed his
task upon the airbrake and took It to Chicago
cage , where it Is now being examined by
prominent officials ot several roads. The In
ventlon Is said to possess many features of
merit nnd may possibly be adopted for use
by some of the eastern roads. It was while
In Chicago that he was seized by the malady
which at present Inflicts him. Ills special
aversion appears to be policemen , and he
becomes frantic upon the approach of any
blue-coated custodians of the law.

The union depot has at length been dec
orated with a sign. It hen been given the
position of honor on the north sldo of the
old red shed. For years signs have been an
unknown quantity at the union depot , and
the attaches of the place look upon the now
acquisition In about the same light that a
fond parent regards a flrst born. "Stairway
to the stieet , " the sign announces * In big
black letters , and a hand of gigantic proportions
tions of the Haiiio color points In the direc
tion of the viaduct. All day yesterday fro-
niiontcm of the depot regarded that sign with
admlilng glances. Heretofore Chief Flem
ing nnd Train Director Mk | have been busy
pointing out the way up town to liiany ques
tioners. The sign now docu the work with
neatness nnd dispatch.

Youth's Suits.
We doubt very much if any single store in the
country shows as many Youth's ' Suits as we , Our
assortment occupies the greater part of our second
floor and contains every conceivable material that is
made up into suits , We have suits as low as two dollars
lars and as high as twelve dollars , and suits at every
quarter dollar price between these extremes. This
week we call special attention to some novelties just
received from the East at prices much below their real
worth. Five dollars for a handsome olive bronze
cheviot with fly front vest and latest cut trousers and
made up in the fullest fashion such a suit as you
might readily pay eight dollars for elsewhere. Five
fifty for a still better suit in a wood brown cheviot that
looks as good as a ten dollar suit. Five seventy-five
for a splendid line of all black Confirmation suits , in a
superior grade of worsted , equal to any that have
ever been sold in Omaha for seven dollars and a half.
Better see these suits while they are here to be seen ,
