The Nebraska Exposition commission has
decided to a&te tlio architects of the state to
submit pUna for a state building at the next
meeting of the commission , which will beheld
held the Bccinil Tuesday In August. This
oncluslon was reached after examining plans
lubmlttcd by CtBildock of Lincoln and Vos- ,
Bander and Irwln of Omaha. The members
of the commlroton ) y plainly that they do
net know what they want , except that the
building must b a credit to the state , must
harmonize with the other buildings of the
exposition and mu.it not cost over $10,000 ,
Including architects' fet.i , cast of superintendIng -
Ing the construction , painting , finishing end
everything else to complete the building
read for occupancy , but not Including
furniture , lighting , etc.
The discussion of this matter occupied
yuaterday morning's cession of the
board. Chairman Neville and Commissioners
missionersI'oyntcr nnd Whltford were
In favor of deciding nt once cm
a plan , that the preliminaries might bo
concluded before the next meeting of the
board , and prompt action taken at the next
. Com.
meeting to commence the construction.
ml-sh.ner . Dutton Insisted that the commission
should proceed slowly and give the architect *
nil over tin- state a chance to submit plans ,
If they desired to do so. He said It would
bo unfair to architects In other parts of
the state to take action at this meeting before -
fore an opportunity had been afforded them
to make , a proposition to the commission.
This argument finally prevailed and a mo
tion was adopted providing that plans be re
ceived by the commission nt Us next regular
meeting. In this connection a resolution by
Commissioner Poynter was also adopted , iirg-
vldlng that the limit for the oust of ths
buildings should be fixed at $10,000.
A general discussion followed as to what
details should be given the architects as to
what the commission would require In the
iwav of a building. It was decided to leave
the size and shape of the building to the
architects , but It was stipulated that there
must be provision for several onices of good
size , ample toilet accommodations , nn as
sembly room nnd such other nceommJiitlon
as will make the building a headquarters
for Nebraskans and afford accommoJa'lons '
for the peoplu of other states. It was also
neict\l that the building must compare iiost
favorably with the elaborate nrchi'cctural
creations which will be erected on the
grounds by the exposition managem-nt.

TAX LIST.
City TroiiMiiror on Rmiilnytiiont of In-
( xpi'rlciii'Cil Mult.
The time is fast approaching when the de
linquent tax list must be ready for delivery
to the county treasurer. City Treasurer Ed
wards contends that unless the ordinance by
which department employes arc prohibited
from drawing pay for extra hours Is repealed ,
tho'cost of preparing the list this year will
bo unusually excessive.
Last year It required twenty men six weeks
to make out the tax list , and five of these
were regular employes of the treasurer's of
fice. They worked on the lax list after the
regular office hours and drew extra pay for
the service. Since then an ordinance has
been passed which prevents the same policy
from being continued , and all the work must
bo done by Inexperienced men. Treasurer
Edwards declares that If this Is done It will
take nearer forty men to do the work , as one
man who Is familiar with the books can ac
complish as much as two or three new men.

In Hie Content.
The Thurston Rifles returned from San
Antonio , Tex. , at 0:30 : ywterday morning ,
burdened with the gnawing consciousness
that tliry had been against the keen hard
edge of what Is known In common parlance
ns the worst of It. There was no band and
no crowd of admiring friends to meet them
at the depot and congratulate them on their
triumphs. The members of the company
wrarlly shouldered their muskets and a
huge disgust and returned to their usual
occupations ?
While neither the officers nor the privates
are disposed to talk freely of the manner
In which the drill was conducted or to com
plain of the Injustice of Its regulation ? ,
they are all positive that the event wao
very far from being a genuine contest In
which merit had a chance to win , They
know that they were handicapped In a
manner that was entirely contrary to all
precedents and rules of military competition
nnd there Is sulllclent evidence to Indicate
that It was never Intended that the Qalvcs-
ton cup should return to Omaha.
Captain Foye eald yesterday that he
did not wont to assume the position of a
critic after defeat , and It was only after
considerable questioning that he was In
duced to talk at all In regard to the manner
In which his company had been treated. He
then merely stated the factri , leaving the
conclusions to be drawn by others.
PllOOItAM NOT PRIVATE.
In regard to the charge that the officers of
the other companies had been allowed to
watch the drill of tbe Ullles on the first flay
of the contest , he said , "No one attempted
to contradict the fact. Any one who wanted
to see the drill was allowed to , and If that
was not sunlclcnt , a complete copy of the
program was printed In one of the local pa
pers the next morning. The advantage
which this gave the other companies could
only be appreciated by a. man who was fa
miliar with military drills. "
In regard to the published allusion to a
misinterpretation of the program , Cap.aln
Koye said , "Nothing of the sort occurred.
The judges continually Interpolated move
ments which were not down on the program ,
and this gave the Impression 4n the graoll
stand that the company was not drilling ths
program correctly. But the same policy was
followed by the Judges In the following drills
and It bad no effect on the result.
"Notwithstanding the advantage . which
was given the other companies It was the
general opinion of military men who saw the
drill that the Rifles put up by for the beat
drill seen during the contest. The Belknap
Rifles , who were given first prize , were not
regarded as even possible prize winners by
these who had seen all the drills. The bet
ting was 20 to 1 against them , and
when the decision of the Judges was an
nounced It was roundly hissed by the people
In the grand stand.
UNFAIRNESS OF JUDGES.
"The action of the judges In regard to the
discipline prizes was also surprising. It was
conceded that the first prize would go to
the Tliurston Rifles , and the judges even told
them that they had made the maximum per
centage In this respect. But they afterward
awarded the prize to an artillery company
and the Thurston Rifles were not even given
second place.
"In the Individual drill the prize went to
the Thurston Rifles , mainly because the first
sergeant refused to stand the manifestly uni
fair decisions of the Judges. Sergeant Steb-
blns of the Rifles wns called out of line by
the judges , but the Rifles made a vigorous
protest , and as the judges were unable to In
dicate a mistake on his part , they were
compelled to reinstate him In the ranks.
"In regard to the encampment , as a whole.
It wcs one of the largest that has yet been
held. There were about 3,600 men In the
camp Including several companies of Infan
try , two troops of cavalry and an artillery
company from the regular army. The , Omaha
boys were unable to enjoy any of tbo social
attractions of > the drill , as they were kept un
der the most strict camp discipline. Drills
and reviews occupied nearly the whole of
every day , nnd they were unable to leave
camp , except on nn occasional Individual
leave of an hour or BO. "
It heala everything except a broken heart ,

men at the shops nt Plattsmouth , Havclock
nnd McCook was yesterday lengthened

Continuing .Mr. Holdrcge said : "There Is

The demand for additional equipment haa
resulted In our running the shops on full

shipped , nnd last fall's corn Is moving freely.
All signs point toward a greater amount of

An official of the Union Pacific yester
day said : "Our road Is doing move business
than In a long time. In nddltlcu to the grr.ln
handled by the toad In this state and Kansas -
sas , the very profitable traffic resulting from
the through fruit specials , leaded with green
fruit from California consigned to New Yorls
City nnd Liverpool , has been heavier this
season than over before. The stilke of the
co.ii miners I'.i Illinois and Iowa has resulted
In a demand ror coal from the Rock Springs
and other mines of the Union Pacific Co.il
company , making a very perceptible lucrcas ?
In the coal traffic along the road. The bet
terment of traffic has been noticed along the
Wyoming division especially , and several
extra train crews have been put on at
Cheyenne. "
The crisis In the coal situation cast of tha
Missouri river has nl.'o caused Increased
activity on the Northwestern system. The
management ot the Elkborn railroad baa
recently completed a contract with tlr <
Cheyenne & Northern road for twenty cars of
coil a day. The coal will come from the
mine at Victor , Colo. , and will be delivered
to the Elkhorn at Orln Junction.

Reports received from Nebraska points by
Omaha railroads are to the effect that the

at Twenty-second and Pacific streets at S
o'clock yesterday morning. The citizens won ,
the dog was rescued and one dogcatcher re
tired from the field the worse for the en
counter.
Dogcatcher Herman Smith and his assist
ant. Bob Albright , were pas-itng the corner
when they spied an untagged canine. They
went after the brute , roped him nnd jerked
him Into their wagon. At the end of the
proceedings the animal set up a wall of
despair , and this brought Its owners , mem
bers of the Lynch family , to the rescue.
Two brothers , Johnny Lynch and Humphrey
Lynch , rushed out Into the street. TTiey ac
cused the dogcatchers of going onto their
premises to get the animal. The catchers
denied this , and started to drive away , but
cue of the brothers grasped the bridle of
the horse. Smith looked around for assist
ance , saw none , and jumped from his seat to
the ground. This was what the Lynch
brothers wanted , and they promptly went to
the rear of the wagon nnd opened the door
of the dog cage. Smith closed it. Then one
of tbo men held the dogcatcher , while the
other wns sent for a gun. Ho returned with
n couple of stout hickory poles. One he gave
to his companion. The other he Kept.
After a little parley , Smith says that one
of the Lynch brothers struck him on the
head with a pole and felled him to the
ground. The dog cage was opened and the
Lynch dog was dragged out. Smith Jumped
up In time to close the door before any
more dogs got away. 31 e had not been on
his feet many mlnutre , however , before he
siy , ? he was Ptruck by the other man with
the other club and he ent to the earth
again.
"Ever ) body Is down on dogcatchers"
raid Smith , "and no ona would help us. "
But Bob Armstrong , the neslatant , tried to
gel help. People in the neighborhood would
not allow him to use their telephone. ? , but
he finally got to one a few blocks away. He
called the police station , and In response a
patrol wagon full of policemen responded.
When they arrived , however , the conflict had
ended and the Lynch ; brothers had disap
peared. Smith a few minutes afterward ap
peared at tbe police station and had his
wounda sowed up. Ht- wore out warrants
for the arrest of tehvLyache.i on the charge
of assault and battery.

A change on the part ot the western rnll-
roads In their mode of fixing rates on. the
shipment of live stock , for which change
the stock yards hero and nt other Important
centers and the otockmcn of tbe transmls-
sourl country have been pleading for several
years , Is about to bo mnde. There will
be an abolition of the present practice ot
charging the shipment of live stock nt BO
many dollars per carload and n conversion
to the more Ocslrable custom ot makltiR
rntcs at so ninny cents for every 100 pounds
ot live E-tocK shipped. .
Directly , this Is the result of a conference
of freight n.cn of western railroads , which
has been quietly held nt Knnsas City dur
ing the past two days. Indirectly , It Is
theicsult of n long series of meetings and
Innumerable conferences with stockmen.
There was a meeting In Denver last week ,
which wa attended by freight officials ol
all the Omaha nnd other weatern , rend , No
conclusion ns to the proposition WBH reached
and the proceedings were kept extremely
quiet.
The Kanro.8 City meeting ndjourncd Tuea
day and the Omaha officials In attendance ,
reached homo yesterday. They state tha'
the exnct basis on which live stock ship
ments In tbe tranamlssourl country will herc-
ntler bo mnde has not yet been agreed upon
There are thrco bases under consideration
and at another conference of the freight mei
mio of these will be determined upon. H Is
settled , however , tl.at live stock rates wll"
hereafter be so many cents per 100 pounds
instead of so many dollars per carload.
For several years many stockmen have
been urging the railroads to equalize the
freight chaiges on cattle shipped from west
ern points io South Omaha , Kansas City and
other points on ( he Missouri river. The stock
men have been backed by the stock yan
companies at these points. About a year
ago an effort was made to Institute the custom
of chafglug by weight , but the- effort dhf
not then meet with success. One of the con
tentions of the stockmen has been that the
varying size of freight cars lias made charges
by carload Instead of by weight an unfair
practice. Some of' the stockmen have op
posed the change. Insisting that to charge by
weight Instead of by carload would mean nn
Increase In rates to them. The general
opinion , however , appears to bo that the
change will be for the .best Interests of all
concerned. When payment Is made for every
100 pounds ot live stock shipped In from the
west there can be no favors shown to the
shipper by giving him cars of greater
capacity than these another stockman re
ceives.

Oiiinlin Men Strike It llluh In the
Illaek IIIllH.
W. M. Glass , secretary of the Lee-Clark-
Andre-cscn Hardware company , felt gcod yes
tcrday and he did not try to suppress his
Joy. In fact he even gloated over the envy
that be aroused when he told the cause of
his Jubilation and altogether acted like a mau
who had tumbled Into the ownership of ft
gold mine that promises to pan out into all
kinds of yellow dust. Yesterday he re
ceived information that one ot .he UUc
Hills claims in which be has Holdings tas
given unusual promise of richness. The men
who are sharing this good fortune with him
are residents of this vicinity and are A. B.
Smith ofttte Burlington , George 'Uudio of
Council Bluffs and J. C. Carson , one of the
Black Hills traveling men for the Lee-Clark-
Andrecsen company.
The mining property Is located In the
Black Hills , In Pennlngton coun'.y , South
Dakota , about twenty-five miles from Deadwood -
wood and Rochford. It consists of three
full claims and two fractional ones , all ad
joining. The claims are about 300 by 1,000
feet In size.
The property has been examined by nn ex
pert , who has Just sent a brief and prelimi
nary report to Mr. Glass. This report Is
highly satisfactory. It says that ( Be find Is
the richest struck In the Black Hills In
years. Moreover , the ore Is free milling and
the deposit lies nt the graw roots. The
ore is said to be very rich. No definite fig
ures Indicating its value , however , nre yet In
the possession of Mr. Glass , who expects to
bo Informed on this matter during the early
part of next week , when the expert's full re
port will be received. All the nssnys have
BO far been made In the Black Hills , but
some of the specimens picked up will be
sent to an aesayer In this , city with the re
port.
Sir. Glass , stated yesterday that he and
the other owne'rs of the mines Intended to
start operations nt once. The probability is
that n shaft will be sunk Immediately after
the expert's report Is received. The owners
will operate the mines themselves.
The four men who own this property are
owners also of other claims in the Black
Hills. In all they possess about thirty , tbo
majority of the.m helps , ln the Ragged Top
district. Some of ( lieeo claims have shown
signs of Jielng. rich , but the present cost of
getting the gold out and to a smelter is too
great to warrant work upon them. It Is
expected that they will prove valuable prop
erty In years to come. None of them , how
ever , seem to be anywhere ns rich as the
one Just rcpofte'd 6ri. 'Tne owners have had
an expert In their employ for more than
n year , prospecting their property.
DM ) SOI. HIDBS HIS FACE TODAY.
Solar BellpNe May. He Seen hy the
OlIlllllllllN.
Unless Nature should at the last minute
resolve on a radical departure from the
system which lias always governed the uni
verse , a partial eclipse of the mm will be
visible In tills latltud.o sometime between
the hours of 7 ami 11 o'clock this
morning. While a eolar eclipse Is more fre
quent than a lunar eclipse , It cannot be
seen from so largo a portion of the earth's
surface , and consequently Is more seldom
seen In any particular locality. The last
solar eclipse of any magnitude seen In this
latitude was October 20 , 1S92 , and the phe
nomenon is , therefore , sufficiently unusual to
entitle It to attention.
According to the calculations of astrono
mers , the ecllpso will bo vlalble from any
part of the United States , In the West In
dies , ' Mexico , Central America , the north
half ot South America , the west coast of
'
Africa , and'from a considerable portion of
the Atlantic ocean , Observers who stand In
a belt of possibly twenty-five miles In width ,
extending from a point In the Pacific ocean
about 1,300 miles west of Mexico and passing
eastward through the center of Mexico and at
the northern coa&t of Cuba , will aeo the
most complete darkening of thn sun , and
that part of the eun which appears to be
covered will decrease as ( ho point of ob-
lervatlon Is moved northward. In this lati
tude tlio eclipse will appear to cover about
the lower half of the sun , and It will proba
bly last about three hours. The point at
which the eclipse ceases to be discernible
U approximately located at the parallel of
3G degree * north latitude.
Thu phenomenon la very different from a
lunar eclipse. The latter Is visible from
every point on the earth's surface from
which tbe moon IUlf 1s distinguishable , u
aUo presents Ibe saino appearance from
whatever point the observation Is taken.
It la merely the shadow of the earth cast
on the lunar surface , and like thu shadow of
a tree cast on the elde of a building , It
appears exactly the same from every point
of view. But In the bolar ecllpno , the path
of the moon cresses that of the eun , and
the ehadow Is caused by the passage of tbo
moon between tbe sun and tbe earth. Con
sequently , the observer muat be In the direct
line of tbe two bodies to see the full effect
of the passage.
( As the moon pa ( s between the earth and
the sun twice a year , two tolar eclipses must
occur every year , and eoinetlmta as many
as ( our have been observed. In the last
eighteen years there are eald to have been
forty-two eclipses of the sun and twenty-
seven of the moon. 01 tbe olar eclifcti

The police nre trying to discover also how
Ashton came Into possession of a contract
with a local bakery for furnishing bread
to a circus that is soon to reach tbe city.
The circus people , who are now here , were
notified of his possession of the document
and they eay that it Is apparently made ,
out by their legal advance agent. Tiiey i
say that Ashton Is not connected with the
show , however , and has not been for some
years. It is thought that he may have
stolen the paper from the advance agent , '
who Is at prefcent In Lincoln and who will I
be communicated with.
Detectives Savage and Dcmpccy say that |
Ashton Is the man whom they arrested a i
couple of years ago for trying to confidence i
a farmer. He represented himself to be the
advance agent of a circus nnd offered to
hire the farmer to post bills. On tlio
strength of the proposition he secured some
money. It IB eold that at the same time he
raised money by other representations that
ho was connected with the show. *
