of a welcome to visit Omaha and learn all
about the expoiltion
1 Th commissioners arrlted In the city
I yefterdaj. a portion of them In time to be
driven around the city a little and shown the
prlnclrol points of Interest , while several
! of them were given an extended drive
! through the great fruit growing districts that
I surround the city on the e-ast and south.
The later arrivals , who came In on the aft
ernoon trains , arrived In time to be enter
tained bj a short carriage drhe around th <
( city. lu the earl > part of the evening they
were induced to Join a party of Council
. UlufTh gentlemen and take a irlp to Lake
I Manawa. They were taken to Manhattan
Uach and ghen a fish dinner and boat ride
on the lake. At 9 o'clock they returned tc
the city and repaired to the dining room ol

It was after 10 o'clock when the guests sv
down to the banquet , end It was nearly i :
o'clock before the tables were cleared , an <
oter cigars the plsns and alrr.8 of the ex
prsltlon were dlscutsed.
President M. F Rohrer of the Merchants
and Manufacturers' association welcomed thi
guests and read a br.ef paper In which hi
explained the object of gathering the lowj
commissioners together and Introducing then
to each other and the promoters of the expo
sition. He introduced President S. H Mal
lory of the commission
Mr. Mallory spoke briefly and declared thai
as an old citizen who had spent more that
a quarter of a century In Iowa and the chle
part of It In the western part of the state , hi
felt something of a personal Interest In thi
success of the exposition , but he declared tha
he was not a sufflc'ently good talker to tel
all about It and called upon Mr. J. E. E
Markley
Mr Markley was In good humor and hi
lest no time In getting upon hte feet ant
telling how deeply Interested the people o
Iowa were In the success of the Transmls
sieslppl Exposition Iowa felt Just as mucl
Interest in the great exhibition of the re
sources of the great west as did the stall
of Xebraska. It was the pleasant duty o
the commissioners to-come here and meet thi
men in whose brains the great enterprlsi
originated , get acquainted with them an <
learn from them the best methods of makln ;
cot only Iowa's exhibit creditable to thi
great state , but learning how to do the mos
to make the expcsltion the success that al
Iowa people desired It should be He be
lleved that the nest tias Just entering upoi
the era of Its greatest prosperity and that thi
exposition -was the best means of hastenlni
and broadening that prosperity.
President Wattles read a carefully pre
pared paper describing the exposition , lu
scop ; , aims and the hopes of the men whi
had conceded It and were exerting theli
greatest effort and best energies to make li
what It should be.
President Rohrer Introduced Mr. E. Rose
water , who declared that the exposition :
were the flashlights upon the worlds grea :
progre-ss and that the Transmlraisclppl Ex
position -would mark an epoch In the bistort
of the west. Th ; Chicago exposition had
turned the eyes of the world with Increased
Interest and greater scrutiny upon the whole
of America and the Omaha exposition woulc
fix the gaze upon the great central and west
ern belt of the commonwealth of states Mr
Rosewater spoke at length upon the greai
benefits that would be derived by all of thi
states interested and emphasized the fact
that It was not an exposition of the product :
of any one section , but of all sections.
Ex-Go\ernor Packard of the commlssloi
said It was the desire of all the better clasi
ot people of Iowa thit an appropriation o
175,000 and he said flOO.OOO , be made b ;
the state of Iowa for the exposition.
Commleoloner Cooke also spoke In favo :
of a liberal appropriation
Lucius Wells , the Council Bluffs mem
ber of the directors of the exposition spoki
of the necessity tor a large approprlatlor
and his remarks were heartily endorsed bj
all the members of the commission
Commissioner Chase of Cedar Falls , secre
tary of the Iowa commission , who was als <
secretary of the Iowa World's Fair com
mission , declared that the exposition woul <
be as great a benefit to the eastern part o
the state as to the w extern and that al
parts of the mate -would derive more bene
fit from Hhls exposition than from the
World's fair
Mr Van Houten of Lennox , secretary oi
the Iowa Horticultural society , made thi
point that It should be the purpose of thi
peo/ie of this dlstric t acquaint hemselve :
with thwe resources of this district. Hi
thought the people of Council Bluffs anc
Omaha had but little knowledge of the im
mense fruit Industry of Pottawattamli
county. He conoidered that the exposition
should be taken advantage of to dlspla ;
these resources.
Commissioner Lovejoy spoke In favor o :
an appropriation of from tSQ.OQO to $100 000
Commissioner John H Wallbank of Moun
Pleasant said the eastern part of the stati
was thoroughly enthusiastic o\er the expo
sition and favored a liberal appropriation
VIce President George F Wright of the
commission and Dr Fawyer also spoke , fa
voring a liberal appropriation
Mr Lehman of Des Molnes of the lows
Columbian commission , who Is not a membfi
of the Transmlssisslppl commission , laid
that tbU commission nas more united and
more anxious for succc * than the commis
sion of which he was a member
Mayor Carson. In closing the speeches , ex.
tended the freedom of the city to the mem
bers of the commission , and wished them
success In their efforts to secure- satis
factory representation for the state of lena

In the carrltgec Tbe course la > southeaal
through the nurseries , gardens and trull
firma adjoining the road leading to the
Iowa School for the Deaf , and then by i
circuitous route through several thousand
icres oflne > ards and berry fields. One
objective point was the 200 acre fruit farm
of J P. Hesc. one of the pioneers In the
fruit Industry In this vicinity The party
was shown through the acres ot ripe rasp
berries , cherries , cuirants and other fmlts.
and watched the small army of fruit pickers
tolling In the sun while the- carriers , like
Industrious ants , ran backward and forward
between the pickers and the packing ehcds ,
carr > lng the loaded baskets In and the
empties out. Some l < ! ea of the extent ol
the business and the wonderful fertility ol
the plants was given by the Information
from Mr Hess' foreman that the aggregate
of the forenoon's pick of black raspberrlei
was I 400 boxes.
Vineyards were painted out that had been
bearing for twenty years and attention
called to the remarkable vigor of the plants.
The drive led for miles over winding road
ways with vineyards and berry patches or
either side , only here and there a small patch
of corn or other field crops , and long before
It was concluded the members ot the part }
had been shown enough to lead them to be-
llcvo that the hills southeast of Council
Bluffs ha\e been transformed Into one Ira-
men e garden , where every kind of trull
grown In this latitude is flourishing -with un
exampled vigor. The visitors were shown
fields that extended as far as the eye could
reach over the- hundreds of undulating hills
and that represented Investments In cash and
labor aggregating hundreds ot thousands ol
dollars. To many members of the little part ;
the ride was a revelation.
The ride terminated at the suburban trull
farm of Peter Wels on Madison avenue ,
where the party rested a while and explored
a large wine cellar excavated In the north
sldo of a shaded hill. Tbe expedition wa :
most heartily enjojed by all. and especial ! }
by members of the exposition commission ,
who cheerfully admitted that the claims
made by western Iowa , horticulturists thai
this Is the garden spot of the state were
based upon most substantial foundations.

\ununl Meet of n Queer Anxoclntton
In .NIMT Knclanil.
Unique among the organizations of Xe-a
England , sa > s tbe Beaten Herald. Is th <
Hattford ( Me ) Custard Pie association. It !
very name Is so suggestive as to tjcclte curl
oalty concerning Its origin , its history am
what ! s done at Its annual meetings Thi
ifwoclatlon started In rather a communplaci
manner. One cold winter morning In 1S6 (
William B. Cushman and Charlea Irish
neighboring farmers of the town , met aftc ;
some preliminary bante'lng. during whlcl
each claimed to be able to eat the moa :
custard pie , and appointed the follow ins
fan day for a custard pie-eating contest
their wives to be cooks and Judges.
At the stated time they met with thel :
wlvee and two huge custard pies at Mr
IrUh'e sap-bouse. In his maple orchard anc
Mr. Cushman , who had spent the fortnoo :
In walking over the great hills as a sort o
training for the occas.on , proved the bette :
pie-eater. The next fast day several othe :
farmers of the neighborhood , with the. :
families. Joined them , and the meeting wa ;
changed from a pie-eating contest to a so
clal gathering. After this they met eac !
fast day , and the < jtory of their good time :
spread until almost all the- farmers , will
the r families , for miles In every direction
Joined the association.
The last meeting of this prosperous asso
ciation was held recently at vhe irfiden < - <
of William n. Cushman About sixty per
sons attended , each bringing a huso cuctari
pie baked In a two-gallon milk can. Duriut
the forenoon , while the women were pitpar-
Ing the dinner , the men passed the time
rolling nine-pins , pitching horseshoes , playlnj
cards and In other rural amusements.
When dinner was announced a scene wa :
presented such as never was seen clsenherv
In Xew England , and prooably uever In tht
world. The long tables - xtendin ? along tht
spacious rooms -were loaded wl'h the great
two-gallon custard pies , made of 'r nly
laid eggs , rich new milk and cream , sweet
ened with such fresh maple sugar as city
lips seldom taste , baked as only country
housewhes can bake when they make the
effort of their Hies , slightly browned on top
and sprinkled with fragrant nutmeg When
this unrivaled delicacy was washed do-vn
with simmered maple sap or country cider ,
sparkling with the s-unslune the apples iad
stored the previous summer , it seemed ihe
nearest approach ro the failed nectar ol
the- gods that bumcn skil ! had ever At
tained Toasts were proposed and happy r-
sponscs made.
After dinner the men again rolled nine
pins , pitched borsesb- aui * engaged In
other pastimes. Anile tip women clejr-'d
the tables and prtpa.'od the rooms. Then
fiddlers appeared , . \nd the party pascel the
evening In the mer-y whirl of country
dances.
SAX KtlA.NCISCO IS SI.Mvl.NG.
L'pH anil DOTTUM of the Pa
cific CODkt.
"The whole peninsula on which San Fran
cisco stands has been and Is gradually sink
ing down to sea level , " said Prof Andrew
C. Law son , the retiring president of the Uni
versity of California Scientific association ,
while delivering his farewelf address before
that body recently at Berkeley. The subject
of tbe lecture was "The Flooding of the
Golden Gate. "
"Xearly all parts of the earth's surface
show the phenomena of uplift or depres
sion , said Prof Law son. "Movements of
this kind are either continental or erogenic.
It Is necessary to have In mind the criteria
of these two movements The criteria of
Ihe uplift are found In the presence of ter
races and sharply shaped canyons Tbe cri
teria of depression are shown when deltas
are built up at tbe mouths of rivers , -when
the sea flcods Into the valleys Some time
this depression continues to iuch a degree
that mountains become Ulande. sinking , as
It were , to their knees In the water Greece
It such a mountainous region up to itb kneet
In the sea.
"From Puget sound to Bering sea we have
a depressed cout. Tbe shore from the
Straits of Fuca to Cape Mendoclno shows
evidence of uplift and also slight depression
afterward. From Cape Mendoclno to Rus
sian river there has been a constant uplift ,
But from this point to the Day of Monterej
tbe region after having been elevated baa
been marked by a great sag. It Is to that
sag that we owe the Bay of San Francisco ,
Bollnas bay , Drake's bay and Tomales bay.
They are stream vallejs Invaded by tbe
watcre of the ocean This fact Is very no
ticeable In Lake Merced It Is clearly a val
ley form'ed by Juncture of several streams.
The lake baz been invaded by the sea and
now Its bottom is ten feet below sea level.
"The- phenomena of depression are also
seen at Richardson's bay and at San Rafael
and Xapa. The river valleys are filling up
and making tidal marshes More positive
evidence is found In tbe cwamp material in
the Oakland tstuary. taken twenty feet be
low the tide. Tbe bay bu been Invaded by
the tea flooded tbe river valleys
"All this subsidence Is of comparatively re
cent geological change and may go deeper
I am not sure of the downward movement
at the present time. It U herd to catch II
on the move. Probably the whole of tbe Sac
Francisco peninsula in going down ai the
maximum effect of the great eag that made
tbe golden Gate at Sin Francisco.

DBS MOINBS. la. . June 59 ( Special Tele
gram. ) Members of the legislature began
pouring Into the town tonight In anticipation
of the extra te&slon of July. The regents ol
the State university held an all day meeting
and decided the demands they will make ID
the way of appropriations to restore the
burned library. They will ask no cash ap
propriation , but ttlll petition for a levy ol
one-tenth of a mill tax for four years This
will produce about JSSUiX ) . which they pro
pose to lines t In a flne fireproof library
building.
The legislature will convene on THhursday
The expectation when the regular eeselor
ended was that this cession would be an affali
of a few minutes , and that If there was nol
a quorum lu attendance f would be of llttlf
Imporancc. as adjournment would be th <
only order of business. But the Impresslor
Is different now. and chancre are ahat th <
cession will last through the week
Members will recehe no pay foi
attendance at this session. Till !
Is because at the conclusion of the wIntel
session a resolution was parsed providing foi
pa > ment of the per diem and mileage to thai
time , and taking no account of any latei
scsrton. In the last few days steps have beet
taken to assure that a quorum ot each house
be Is attendance , to assure that Important
buslne&s requiring mention may be lookti
after. The most Important matter of legtsla.
tlon Is the appropriation for the State uni
versity at Iowa City , to replace the llbrarj
destroyed a few dajs ago.
Then there Is the question , of publishing thi
new code. The expectation Is that Immedl
ately on convening the houses will name :
Joint committee to at once look Into th <
status of this work and report with the leas
delay whether It Is going to be possible to ge :

One Projected for the Government In
Wromlncr.
Great interest Is taken in Wyoming In th
Investigations which are being made by Cap
tain M. H. Chlttenden of the United Statei
Geological survey of available and practicable
sites In Wyoming for the construction ol
storage reservoirs to be constructed at gov
ernment expenw. sayi a Cheyenne corre
spondent of the Denver Republican. The in
vestigations are being made with funds pro
vided In the appropriations ot the river and
harbor bill , and one reservoir site will be
selected In each of the so-called arid states
In the Rocky Mountain region.
To the present time. In his examination cl
proposed sites In Wyoming , Captain Chltten
den has found but one which eeems to
answer the purpose of a storage reservoir of
great extent , and which can be constructed
at reasonable expense and at the same time
be of general beneflt to a large number of
settlers. This site Is about five miles west
of the city of Laramle , In Albany county ,
and Is located between the Little and Big
Laramie rivers , from which the resenrolr , if
built , will be supplied with -water Captain
Chittendeo. after making a cursory examina
tion of this site , was so pleased with It that
he determined to make a complete examina
tion , and for that purpose one ot his aisUt-
antB , Mr F B. Maltby. with a corps of en
gineers. Is now making e. survey ot the
site and will obtain all of the data as to
water supply , coat of construction , physical
formation of sides and bottom ot reservoir
site , etc. , for the proper determination of the
practicability of the proposed enterprise This
work will require several we ks' time , as ,
besides the surveys , excavations and drilling ;
will have to b > made at various points to de
termine fully the character of the formation
underlying the site with reference to 1U
water holding condition
The reservoir. If determined upon , can , ll
Is believed , be built at verj slight expense
No dam need be constructed , as the pro
posed site Is a natural , depression , wltt
natural barriers on ever- side The expens *
attendant upon transforming this natura
depression Into a. storage reservoir Is thai
which will be Incurred inbuilding dltche :
from the Big and Little. LAramle rhcra , tc
o-jpply It with water , a'Bd building a tunnel
as an outlet through -which' the water cat
be conveyed to Irrigating-canals auu dltchei
below the resenolr " ' "
The rewrvclr * lte Is known locslly as the
"Dig Hollow" and has often been conslderec
by Individuals as an advantageous site for i
mammoth water supply basin
It Is about twelve miles long and Iron-
two to four miles wld < * and bis an average
depth of ISO feet. Ito rms are fr.'cct nc
are not cut into by raylces or gullies.
Captain Chlttenden estimates that thi
reservoir when filled -will bold -O.OOO.OO *
cubic feet oi water and that the evapora
tlon from this Immense bjody of water wouK
bo 1,000,000.000 a jear , not allowing for rait
and snowfalls , which would reduce thi
evaporation nearly one-half. The cource o :
supply would be from the waters of the Bl ;
Lsramie and Little Laramle rhen It wll
require a ditch fifteen miles | n length trot :
the Big Laramle to reach the basin and oni
seven mllei long from the Little Laramle
It U estimated that l&O cubic feet i er second
could be eecured from the Dig Laramle am
flft ) cubic feet p r second could be securtc
from the Little Lartmle , With this amcun :
of wa'e-r running 'in.'and allowing for
evaporations and seepaKe , U would requlri
five > ears' time to fill the bacjn.
The benefits whlih would accrue to agrl
cultural Interests by the construction of thi
reservoir would be tar-reaching. After tbi
resenrolr't completion It would Insure ai
ample supply of water for Irrigation pur
poses , supplementing that of the preien
reeerrolri , for the ranchmen ot tte Taller o
thf Laramle river for dU'auce of over 1M
milea rxt-ndirt ihrough Alb > ny anl
Laramle countK * and including th ?
Whratland "olony , where 90.WO acres arc
being s ttl d tad farmed.
The approprutloo nniScr which tb present
surveys are being mad < - provides for BO
expenditures- beyond that which Is re rolrel

posed plan of water storage by eotcrnment

At the Chinese consulate in San Francisco
they are greatly Interested In a dispatch
from Hermoslllo. Mexico , elating that a rock
had been discovered In the state of Fonora
bearing Chinese characters 2.000 years old.
and announcing also , on the authority of a
Celestlil resident ot Guajmas. that eighteen
shiploads of bis countrymen had landed on
the wcet coast ot Mexico 200 years before
Christ.
Yl Shi Yi. tle : consul general. Is a well-
read man and learned. He had studied In
his youth In one ot the dark reading cells
of the Mandarin College of Pekln , and ha :
heard strange talce and echoes of the tra
ditions of his forefathers Many of thm he
renumbers and some he belle > es.
"Far beyond the days of the American
people or the French or the English , a
great people were my countrjmcn , " he said
to a reporter of the Chronicle "Your Jc us
and ) our honorable Columbus were born
and died , but agea before that my people saw
the stars and tmeled on the -water. The
finding of Chinese writings In Mexico I will
not think In true till I , with my own eyes ,
see the stone , but U Is known to me that our
Chinese of ancient das came to these
shores and lived and died hero. '
Yl was In Mexico for eight > ears in charge
of his nation's- consular service In the re
public , and left there only two > ears ago
He says that during his stay he Interested
himself a great deaj In the country and Ita
Inhabitants , having beta struck In the first
months of his visit by some remarkable
facial rrsemblanc.es of the Meiiiant to hla
own countrymen. He traveled from one end
of the country to the other more than once ,
and In the interior districts came across
household articles and forms of architecture
that he- was certain had sprung original ) :
from Chinese conceptions.

It. I was struck dumb with great surprl'i
when I saw some of the Mexican houses It
the country. They were built as If by mj

the birds to nest under and cidei with eacl
third line overlapping. And J said to mysel
These are the offspring of my own ances

Yl gl\es some very strong reasons con
cerning his idea that no Chinese Inscription !
have been found In Mexico notwlthetandlnf
his belief that the locality was first settlec
by his countrymen He states that tradl
tlons handed down from one generation ti
another , and which he himself has hean
from "old and wise men , " say that 5.0W
> ears ago the Chinese first learned the ar
of na\Igatlon. They built long boats wltl
three tiers of galleys running along eacl
side of the main deck and ? ats for ninet ;
rowers , forty-five on a slae With thesi
craft they sailed to Japan , to the coast o
Russia , the Aleutian Islands , Alaska aad In
lets on the west coast , of Xorth America
Many hundreds of them settled on all thi
shores bordering on the Xorth Pacific ocean
Several went inland and began civilizatloi
In the regions about the Rocky mountain !
and In what is now the heart of Mexico.
"But. " he says , "these hardy and boh
men brought with them no written language
At that time a great and learned king , Ful
He. reigned In China. He watched a omal
worm boring peculiar signs and curved mark :
on the trunks of our sandal trees , and hi
thought that the worms talked one to anotht ;
In that way. Said he. 11 worms speak thus
why not humans ? ' And he took the sigtu
and wrote them on leaves and made of then
words , and that was the Sretwriting of th <
Chinese. It was not till over one centurj
after jour Jesus came to earth that our ores-

The great Confucius wrote much before thU

America and traced the course that he eajg
the old Chinese explorers went with signifi

"When you get away from the towns and
more thickly settled parts of Central America
Into the forest clearings you will find that
the native houses are built upon posts well
above the ground. This Is In part to protect
the dwellers from dampness In the rainy
season and to keep out reptiles , but the
principal ret eon for putting the houses upon
posts Is for the safety of the residents against
tigers , the name by which Jaguars are gen
erally called In Central and South America. "
Jam s Sharpley , now of Xew York , was the

At the Court Street Methodist churrh Sun
day morning , sa > s the Montgomcr > ( Ala
Advertiser , a ceremony was enacted thai
beautifully Illustrated the deep admlratloi
which Is Instlncthe In the human heart foi
deeds of heroism and the doers thereof. Am
color , race nor creed can diminish this ad
miration noble-minded people bestow upor
the hero
The ceremony was remarkably impressive
A Mmple. faithful colored man received I
fittini ; testimonial for having riaked his ont
life in saving the Ihes of two fair little be
ings , the idols of their parents' hearts.
Readers of the Advertiser will rcmembei
the Incident when on Saturda } afternoon , thi
12th of this month , a horse ran away or
SoJth Court street At the crossing nei :
Fle-ning's , MUses Gljclne an3 Myrtle youni
daughters of Mr and Mrs J. W. Braojfombe
were parsing when the \lclous animal cami
plunging toward them sweeping e\erythin (
and everybody In Its wake , and frlghtemns
them badly because of the narrowness of thi
street and Its crowded condition.
On the sidewalk stood the negro Sco-
Brown. He did not know the childrtn , bu
this did not matter , for in a. second he real
Ized that two precious joung l es were li
peril. Without hesitation Scott threw him
self In front of the horse , shoved the llttli
girls out of the wa > and was himself knockei
down by 'he runaway animal. He barel ;
escaped with his own life.
The parents of the children were among th
first to learn of this act of heroism , and 1
al o came to the eirs of Supcrlntenden
Pearson and other gentlemen connected wltl
the Court Street Methodist Sunday school
which the Branscombe girls attend. Xoth
Ing was said to Scott , but a subscrlptioi
was soon started , and In a day or two :
handsome silver watch and chain was pur
chased.
Saturday afternoon Scott received notlci
to come to the Court Street Sunday school
and before service was over the chlldrei
noticed the quiet entry of the colored man
who took a bick seat and waited.
His Injured arm was still bound up , am
this fact suggested to many of the pupil
the Identity of the man. Few of them kn x
what was to transpire.
Finally , as the service neared Its clos
Scott Brown was called to the ' 'eat , n.
there , at the rostrum , with Rev. Mr Dick
Inson In the center and Superlntenden
Pearson and teachers standing around , am
thf children and young people looking o :
attentively , the presentation took place
Mr Dickinson said to Scott that the tes
tlmonlal nas tendered by the Sunday schoo
as a simple acknowledgment of an act o
heroism and as a tribute to one whom thei
considered a hero.
The minister related several Incident !
taken from his own experience and fron
southern history. Illustrating the braven
of faithful colored men. One of the mos
prominent he mentioned was that of tbi
old Janitor who perished In the Howarc
college fire at Marion , Ala. , before tbi
war At Marlon today there Is a noble shafi
In the cemetery to his memory , and on thai
shaft arc printed the heroic words :
"I cannot leave until I wake all tht
boys , " these words having been Ihe lasi
words of the brave old negro when he wa :
called to leave the burning structure. Bui
there were boys In the dormitory , sleeping
unconscious of the flames surrounding them
and the janitor. In his efforts to save , per
ished with them.
Mr. Dickinson , in the course of his elo
quent little speech , took occasion to polm
out to Scott as a reprcsentatUe of bin rac <
the fact that the white people of the tout }
are the negro's best friends.
Scott's eyes filled with te-ars and ever )
person in the assembly room noticed hli
emotion , and. Indeed , all were deeply Im
pressed. Recehlng the watch and chain
Scott bowed , simply and earnestly , ant
walked out. but before he had reached thi
door , numbers of gentlemen had stoppei
him to shako his hand.

ably wear the rest of bis life , and whin
will be handed down to his offspring , 1 ;
