The regular weekly meeting of the oxccu-
live committee of the exposition was held
nt tlio Commercial club rooma ycetcrday
afternoon.
Tlio early part of the mcotlnR was taken
the committee -
up wltli n consultation between
too and A. II. Grltmhs of Detroit , an nppll-
tint for tlio position of nrt director of the
cxp-wltlon. Mr. Orlmtlis told the commit-
tie about himself , and epoke generally re
garding his Ideas of the bcsi .ucthod of sc-
curlrs pictures and other works of art which
would go to make a creditable art dliplay.
RegJrdlng remuneration Mr. Griffiths said
ho would want $4.000 for the entire period
of his engagement and his expenses In the
traveling which might bo necessary In con
nection with the securing of pictures , etc.
Ho volunteered to subscribe for $1,500 of his
enlnry for exposition stock. He aaltl It would
ho necessary to make a personal call upon
artists and other owners of desirable works
of art tir order to secure them , as letters
would never accomplish this result. He esti
mated the probable expense of making a good
ait exhibit at about $18.000.
The matter of engaging 'Mr. ' Griffiths wtn
deferred until the next regular meeting.
A report waa read from the secretary of
the iHoard of Lady Managers regarding
the educational exhibit aud Individual com
petition which Is being Instituted by the
I ) rd. The secretary estimated that the In-
coino from this competition would be about
T15 , 000 and said that the expense of promot
ing the flcheme would bo about $3,000. The
fiecrp.tary also as'.teil for Information re
garding working In Iowa. She ald that the
Iowa members of the woman's board , Mrs.
iRccd and Mrs. Keycs of Council Blurts , had
teer. told by the vice-president of 'the ex
position for Iowa , George F. Wright of
Council muffs , that the Iowa Exposition
commission , 'tould take entire charge of the
educational ' . . .hlblt of that state aud that
the woman's board should not operate In
Iowa.
WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT INDEPENDENT.
The membcra of the executive committee
expressed the opinion that Mr. Wright was
labeling under n wrong Impression at to
the plan of the woman's board and President
"Wattles was asked to write to htm and ex
plain the work the women are doing and
B'IOW him that 11 docs not conflict In any
way with the work of the Iowa commission.
Manager Lindsay of the Department of
iWnys and Means reported that he had called
upon the local officials of the Missouri
Pacific and had asked that road to make a
uubscrlptlon to exposition stock In view of
the fact that a contract la now under con
sideration by the executive committee giving
that road exclusive rights upon the exposi
tion grounds for their tracks. Mr. Llndsey
eald ho had been Informed by Mr. Phllllppl ,
general agent for the road , that If the com
pletion of the contract hinged upon a sub-
ficrlptlou by his road the whole matter
might as- well be dropped. Mr. J.lnusey
tald ho had also written to the officials of
the road , asking that a promise made by
vice-president Gould early In the summer
ci/ made good , and asking for a subscription
of $25.0C ) .
In the absence of Manager Babcock of the
Department of Transportation , the approval
of the contract with the MUourl Pacific wao
Jald over for future consideration.
Some little warmth has been engendered
In certain places by the. action of the Mls-
eourl Pacinc regarding oilier roada cntarlng
the i position grounds. When the propo
sition to change the locatlcn from Miller
park to the present location wag unJer con
sideration the Missouri Paclrtc officials were
very profuse In their promises to allow all
other roads to cross Its tracks In order to
get Into the grounds If they desired to do BO.
HOLDING ITS MONOPOLY.
The Northwzstern road was especially
Interested In this question , as It had things
all Its own way at Miller 'park , and the
Missouri Pacific would have the "cinch" on
the resent site for the reoson that Its tracks
clrcli/ the grounds and no other road coulJ
get In without Its permission to cross Us
tracks. After the change was made the
Missouri Pacific refused to allow the North
western to cross 'Its tracks and so abut It out
completely. Some of the exposition directors
were dseidcdly provoked at this action In
view of the fact that the Northwestern had
subscribed $30,000 to the exposition , whlo !
the Missouri Pacinc had' not subscribed a
cent.
Manager Rosewater of the Department of
Publicity and Promotion reported that the
'OS Meet club of the wheelmen wanted the
exposition management to contribute $7 ! > to
ward the expense of sending a committed
to the annual meeting of the League of
'American ' Wheelmen at Philadelphia to ee-
cure the next MICE ling of the league for
Omaha. After discussing the matter It was
decided to give the club the free use of the
race track at the old fair grounds for Us
race meet Instead of giving any money.
Villager Ilosewator alno reported on I ho
result of a trip of E. C. Hunt , representing
the Department of Publicity and Promotion ,
to Cheyenne. He stated that the governor
of Wyoming had manifested a great Interest
In the exposition and had Immediately Irsued
n proclamation to the county cnmmlsloncrc
of each county In thp state , requesting thorn
In take action at once to collect suitable
material for making u creditable exhibit of
the resources of the state. The governor
had na ] promised to lay the matter before
the next meeting of thn state board , which
corresponds to the Hoard of Public Lands
and Ilulldlngs of Nebraska , with a view of
appointing a state commission to see that
the state U properly represented. Wyoming
still has the exhibit which wsa made by It
at the World's fair , which coat the state
between $30,000 and $10,000 to collect , aud
this will probably he utlHr.ed as a nucleus
f/r an exhibit at the TransmUslsslppl Expo
sition. ,

May Hermit lit Settling a 1'nliit' In
SAN FRANCISCO , July 30. Rev. CI. 0.
Ilrown , formerly of this city , but now a
resident of Chicago , has applied for a re
opening of his case before the Bay conference
of the Congregational church.
Dr. Brown's appeal comes In a letter re
ceived by Hcv. Q. n. Hatch of Berkeley ,
registrar of the Bay conference. As a re
sult the conference will meet a week from ,
Tuesday next , at the First Congregational
church In Oakland , and \vlll not ccily grant
Dr. Brown's request for a mutual council ,
but will vole to ask the Chicago association
to Join It In another council of the same
kind , to submit the question of Congrega
tional usage as to whether one association
can receive tote membership a minister who
Is under suspension by another body of
equal standing. The Bay conference has
always been anxious for a settlement of the
con'.roversy and the way seems now clear.
Dr. Brown , by making tils' request , has placed
himself cci record as admitting the authority
o.f the Bay conference In determining his
caeo. The Impression prevails here among
Congregatlonallsts that Dr. Brown has taken
such an attitude that the * conference , and It
alone , will make the settlement. The com
mittee that will bo appointed In response to
Dr. Brown's request will afso attend the
mutual council asked by the Bay conference
with the Chicago association. It 'Is ngured
from this point of view that should the
Brown council decide that the late pastor of
the First church of San Francisco Is In full
standing In the Bay conference , the latter
body will have gained all that It bus claimed
and can at once * proceed to try Dr. Brown
on the Issue of the celebrated trial and to
determine his standing. The committee
from the Br.y conference will Insist at the
second mutual council , as It has always eon-
tended , that the action of the- Chicago asso
ciation In the Brown case was Irregular.
Should the council decide In accordance with
this view , the ex-pastor will be In precisely
the sinu1 position as when he left San Fran
cisco under the ban of the Bay conference.

COMPILATION MADE BY UNION PACIFIC
11 o ml AitnntH tlic Policy of ItontliiK
Out All of tlio TlioroiiKlifar N
I.yliiK Within Itn IllKlit
of Wn > - .
The legal department of the Union Pa
cific railway has nearly completed the com
pilation of traps and descriptions ot all
county read ? affecting the right-of-way of
Iho company between here and Cheyenne ,
Wyo. It Is a most voluminous work and Its
preparation has occupied several montSa'
time. The work has been prosecuted more
eneigttlcally of late bccaus-e or a desire
on the part of the company to know Just
how It stood with every county In Nebraska
nnd eastern Wyoming regarding the county
roads that cither cross or parallel the tracks
of the company within the right-of-way.
The reason for Inquiry Into re
lations existing between the rail
way compcny and the counties regarding
the county roads on union Pacific
property at the prtscnt time Is the fact that
on June 1 , this year , the railway company
adopted the policy of renting to the counties
such portions of the county roads as are on
the company's right of way. The rental
will be at the nominal sum of $2.50 per an-
um for each road , but It 1 thought that
It will prevent many legal disputes.
The leases nt portions of county roads
lying on the company's right of way ex
tend for twenty years. They have been
obtained In most ot the counties In this
state through which the "Overland Route"
extends. In a few of , the western counties
the railway company la having difficulty
In getting the county commissioners to ac
cept the terms of the leases. The latter
maintain that some of the county roads are
not on the company's right of way. Surveys
which have just been completed will prob
ably settle these disputes.
A second cause for difference of opinion
between the railroad company and the com
missioners of tome of the .counties of the
statu Is over the question whether or not the
company has any Just claim to the portions of
county roads on Its right of way In sections
reserved for school purposes. The railway
company anticipates a victory In such dla-
putes , relying on a decision by JUdgc Brewer
of the United States court in 1S87. U was In
a case brought by Douglas county against ths
Union Pacific , the contention being that In
school sections the railway company was not
entitled to the usual right ot way. The case
was decided In favor of the company , Judge
Brewer basing' his opinion on an act of con
gress of July 1 , 1SG2.
SETTLEMENT BEFORE SALE.
It Is believed that leases will be negoti
ated between the railway company and those
counties that arc etlll holding out within the
next two months and that the entire matter
of the relations between the company and
the counties on this subject will be settled
before the road Is sold under foreclosure.
One fact brought out by the research Into
this subject during the past few months
Is that many counties have paid out
sums of money to property holders vvhlch
should have been saved to the counties' re
spective exchequers. The money has been
wrongfully expended by fi" county commis
sioners In that they have allowed money on
account of the building of county roads to
alleged 'owners' of land which was not theirs
but which was Included within the railway
company's right of way ; One point
In Douglas county has been found where
$493 was paid out to property
holders by the county commissioners
for the privilege of running a county road
through land that belonged to the railway
company. A representative of the Union
Pacific's legal department said yesterday
that he presumed at least $1,000 had been
paid by Douglas county to persons claiming
property through which county roads had
been run , but which , as a matter of fact , is
Included within the cbmpany's right of way.
There are fo-ly-threo county roads In
Douglas county that affect the Union Pacific's
right of way. The right of way Includes 200
feet of property on each side of the track.
Some of ths country roads cross' the right
of way , while others merely parallel the
track. The number of county roads whaie
location Is decisively settled b > the work
nearly finished In Nebraska la not known.
but from the numbr affected In this county
alone , It may be Inferred , how great the num
ber Is between here and Cheyenne. The
work Is conceded to be a most valuable one ,
and the Information gathered will be
especially valuable to the purchasers of the
property at the coming sale , as the facts
established by the Investigation , together
with the lease negotiated with the counties
Interested , will prevent troublesome litigation
In the future.

The Union PaclP.c has been voted the of

The Rock Island will run a special train

Despl'te reports to the contrary It now
appears unlikely that the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad Is to lose Us Chicago division. It
U a fact that Judge doff of the United Statcn
court recently called Receivers Cowen and
Murray Into court and personally compli
mented them on their management of the
system. Within the last half year there
seems to have been a new life Infused Into

they have a strong competitor to deal with.
Regarding the dlcmembermeot el the sys

the event sem further oft than ever. The

TRIMMING UP THEIR SAILS
Preparing to Enter the Campaign for County
Offices Next Fnll ,
ASPIRANTS FOR THE POLITICAL PLACES
IiiitlualloiiN that There Will llo Plenty
of CnnillilateN Who Will lie
U'lllliiK to ( io llefore the
People. TlilN Kail.
Tnero arc already Indications of the approach
preach of another political campaign and
aspirants for the various local offices that
are to bo filled are circulating among their
friends getting ready to launch their candi
dacies at the proper time. While there nc
comparatively few local officials to be elected ,
the woods arc full ot candidates aud the
campaign promises to be exceedingly lively
for nn off year. The local fight will relate
mainly to the county offices , consisting of
ono commissioner from the Second district
and all other county offices except county
attorney. The city campaign will be con
fined to the selection ot six members of the
Board of Education.
The general opinion Is that the county
nominating conventions of the political
parties will be called during September.
There Is some sentiment among the repub
licans which favors holding the convcnt'on '
early in the month , white the fuslonlsts arc
generally talking of a somewhat later date.
Chairman E. E. Howcll ot the democratic
county central committee has called a meet
ing of the committee for August 14 , at which
the date of the convention will probably be
agreed upon. Chairman John Lewis of the
republican committee has decided to call
the committee together rnrly next week
and the call will bo Issued today or tomorrow.
These coirmltlee meetings , however , arc
to provide for tha calling of the county
conventions that are to select delegates to
the state conventions , the republican state
convention being called for August 20 at
Lincoln , and the democratic , populist and
sliver republicans for September 1 at the
same place. The county delegate conven
tions will In all probability be entirely
separate frcm the nominating conventions.
PLENTY OF CANDIDATES.
While there are quite a number of re
publicans who have announced themselves
as candidates , it is yet too early In the
day to name the favorites. There Is n very
outspoken sentiment In favor ot selecting a
fighting ticket composed of men whoyjll
commend themselves to the voters. On the
republican ticket It Is generally conceded
that John W. 'McDonald and George Helm-
red will bo rei omlnatcd for sheriff and
treasurer respectively , but outside of thcso
the field Is open. County Judge Baxter Is
a candidate for rcnomlnatlon for a third
term. H. L. Day Is an active candidate for
the place and so Is E. G. Thomas. Louis
Berkn has been prominently mentioned , but
It Is stated that he will not make the
race.
race.For register of deeds there are already
several active republican aspirants. T. S.
Crocker and John T. Dalley of the Eighth
ward are both In the field and BO Is Fred
Brunlng of the Second. South Omaha w'll
present a candidate In the person of J. B.
Erlon. George Munroe's friends have sug
gested him , and E. M. Stenberg of the
Second ward "will be < a candidate , either.lor
re-election as county commissioner or rsglster
of deeds. County Clerk Redfleld wants to
succeed himself , but everybody admits that
renomlnatlon by the republicans Is out of
the question , although his Immediate friends
are trying to influence the leaders In his favor
by declaring that If the republicans turn htm
down he will be taken up by the fustoulstf" .
There are several other candidate { or the
pcsjtlon , among them Charles E. Winter ,
Van B. Lady , H. C. Akin r.nd E. M. Haverly.
The republican candidates for county com
missioner Include E. M. Stenberg , Frank-
Kaspar , ex-Commlsflloner Corliss and Gus
Harte of the Second ward , A. C. Foster and
George L. Dennis of the Seventh , Charles
Turner of the Fourth , and several others.
South Omaha republicans will present
George McBrlde , deputy surveyor , for county
surveyor. He will probably bo supported
by the South Omaha delegation.
* '
PLANS OF FUSIONISTS.
The aspirations of the tuslonlsts seem to
bo .confined to two or three offices. For these
ttcjfcj is a superfluity of candidates , while
In other cases no one has been even men
tioned. There are nearly a dozen men who
would , like to run for sheriff and among
these T. H. Todhunter , foreman at the liur-
ney street power ' ousc of the Omaha Street
Rpllway company , R. Engelmanc nnd Louis
Boehmo are suggested aa the strongest can
didates. Harry Miller Is making a fight for
the nomination and John Drexel would accept
it If It came his way. Mayor Eusor and Tom
Hector of South Omaha have both been sug
gested , but It is said that neither of them
will make a fight for the nomination. Mayor
Ensor states that ho Is out of It , as he does
not consider the game worth the candle.
The fuelonlsts are talking of nominating
County Clerk M. H. Redfleld In case ho
should bo turned down by the republicans.
According to their plan , Redfleld will be
nominated by the silver republicans and
then endorsed by the democrats and popu
lists.
lists.There
There Is some talk of oppeoltlon to re-
nomination of Register of Deeds Elsasaer
among the democrats , but so far his road
seems to bo uncontested. No democratic
candidates have been suggested for county
treasurer , and It Is underotood that the
office will be left for the populists , Harry
P. Deuel Is the only democratic candidate
so far mentioned for county commissioner
and his friends assert that ho will bo nom
inated by acclamation.
At the first meeting In January "William
H , Anderson , Jonathan Edwards , A. W.
Johnson , Dr. J. C. Moore , H , J , Pcnfold and
A. J. Lunt will retire from the Board of
Education. Mr. Penfold was elected a year
ago to serve out the unexplred term of Rev.
T. S. Cramblet and will probably he a can
didate for renomlnatlon , Mr. Lunt wao ap
pointed some time ago to succeed I , O.
Rhoades until the next general election , and
ho Is also a candidate for the remainder of
the term. Dr. Moore was also appointed
to flll a vacancy and would ilke to be
elected for a full term. Among the other
candidates are J , F. Burgess and Dr. W , H.

Charles McDermott , engineer of the Bar
ker block , put up a fight yesterday when ho
was tried In police court on the charge of
running a boiler without an engineer's
license. Ho maintained that the city or
dinance was unconstitutional , because U
levied a class tax. The latest ordinance
provides that engineers Ehall pay a fee of
$5 fcr examination and a certificate , and $3
a year for a renewal of the certificate. De-
fore the fee for each has been $1.
"It Is a tax on labor , " said McDermott
In hla tilal , "and I will not pay the $3 for
a renewal of my license. ! will i y what
the proper costs are and no more. "
McDermott charged that the late ordinance
was paised through the Instrumentality of
the engineers' national atsoclatlon for the
purpose of driving out those stationary en
gineers who were able to make but a meager
aalary and were not able to pay an ex
cessive fee.

Some of the animals ot the clrcue , the

and Paul streets. Bfomlngl.v had an Intense
desire ; to take In the sights of Omaha Thurs
day night. Between the house of midnight
and C o'clock > e. tcrday the elephant uud the
elk each made two excursions Into the
neighborhood abo'lt the tents , nnd wore
captured on each occasion only after a chase
and after they had created some excite
ment.
William Worthlngtou , the keeper of the
animals , wao awakened a couple of hours
after the show clcned by a great commo
tion. He arcfic to find that the elephant ,
Jessie , had broken the strong chain that
had hold her and WAR battering against the
cage ot llom > In an effort to get at a lit
tle monkey that was crouched beneath.
The elephant appeared to be greatly enraged -
raged and In her anger finally toppled the
cage of lions over and almost forced open
the door.
Worthlngton started after his big pet , but
as soon as she saw him she lifted up the
canvas wall of the tent and made her cUMpc
to the outside. The tr.ilner followed her.
but by the time he got outside she was
more than a block away. Before he getup
up with her eho created some decidedly
appalling apparitions In the mind ot an
Eighteenth sticet citizen , who found the- at
mosphere In the Interior ot his housea
little too warm for sleeping , and therefore
betook himself out upon the front porch In
decldely light costume. He had been asleep.
but was awakened by the squealing of the
escaped elephant. He seemingly thought he
had 'em and that they were coming right for
him , for ho Jumped tram his porch and out
Into the street. The ( lying streak ot night
shirt so Interested the big brute that she
stopped long enough for her trainer to get
up to her.
Worthlngton took the animal back to the
tent and frstened her as well as he could ,
but she got away again about the dawn of
day. She was captured before she had gone
any distance , however. She Is now being
held with a new chain. The animal killed
a man In Lima , O. , last May. The elk got
out shortly after the first escapade of the
elephant. Us absence was not noticed for
eomo time. When the chase was taken up ,
the assistance of a policeman from the police
station was called In. The animal was cap
tured on Eighteenth street about n half mile
from the show grounds. Besides scaring a
number of people. It did no damage on thla
trip. About 5 o'clock In the morning , how
ever , the animal again got away , but this
time Worthlngton at once noticed Its escape.
About a block away he came up with
It , Just as It was about to gore a pros
trate negro with Its horns. The negro had
seen the animal coming nnd attempted to
stop It , The elk struck him to the ground
with Its fore feet and was Jabbing at him
with its hnniB when the trainer came up.
The negro gave the name of Scott John
son.
' 'The animal would have surely killed him
if I had not come up In time to prevent
It , ' eald the trainer.
The animals were disturbed by the heat
and the flies.

President Tukoy advised the purchase of
four specimens of the cycas revoluta offered
by a Plattsmouth florist. The plants are

The. latest turn Mn the contest for chlcC
of police Hs the announcement that S. A.
Donnelln has finally withdrawn as a candidate
and the open opposition of \Vorld-Heralil
to Martin White. The gang that has been nup-
portlng Donnelln has not yet given out who
their next choice will be , but are stlchliiR
to their policy of anything to beat cx-Chlef
White. The turn-coat attitude of the World-
Herald Is the subject of much unfavorable
comment , especially nmung the Irish-demo
crats , who had nfmirances that that paper
and Its owner would support White's can
didacy.
P. C. Heaffy , of Heaffy & Hearty , paid that
surprlce could not exprcre his feelings when
ho read thu editorial In the World-Herald
demanding the withdrawal of Martin White
for chief of police. "I was one of a commit
tee of twelve , " ho continued , "which called
on Mr. Hitchcock n few weeks ago In
reference to the position of the Wcrld-Hcrahl
In the chief of police contest , and Mr. Hitch
cock promised the committee that he would
not oppose 'Mr. ' White's election as chief , but
reserved to himself the right to criticise Mr.
White's olllclal conduct. This was , of courne.
conceded him , as the committee did not
ask any ono to withhold Just criticism. After
this Interview the World-Herald maintained
a fairly neutral position for a while , but then
began to attack White through the news
column ! ) . When the management was re
minded of the promise , excuse wua
made that the offending Item was
on the news page and had crept In
without cd'torlal supervision. 1 can not ex
press my feelings on the present Hop of that
sheet. It Is unfortunate for the democratic :
party that a paper presumably representing :
that party should take the position It has In
this contest. The contest now going on In
this city Is being watched all over the
Htntc , and the attitude taken by the World-
Herald will be taken as the position of the so-
called leaders In the democratic party. 1 re
ceived no less than a dozen letters from ,
friends out In the state lust week calling
attention to the Irretrievable Injury being ;
done to the party In the position taken by
forces expected to assist In the shaping of.
democratic politics In the state. "
John Powers Is another man who Is highly
Indignant at the desertion of White by the
World-Herald. He denounced the position
of the paper as rank treachery. He said ho
was also a member of the committee which
had waited upon Mr. Hitchcock , who told
them that though he was afraid to support
Mi * . White In his paper , he would not oppose-
him.
