The detail plans and drawings for the
buildings on the main court of the exposi
tion have now all been completed except the
Government building and the Auditorium.
The latter Is to bo erected In the cxtremu
iouthc2slcrn corner of the main court , where
It will be almost out of sight from the grand
promenade so that Its exterior appcaiantc
will not be material In the ensemble as seen
from the banks of the lagoon. The last
building to.bo completed Is tbe Liberal Arts ,
thu building which U to stand Immcdlitcly
luet of Manufactures building and form
n annex to the latter. This building was
only determined on a short time ago und
the plans for It have been rushed through
tilth all possible speed. The drawings and
upcclricatlona have been completed and bids
for the erection will be opened Saturday of
this week ,
The Liberal Arts building was designed by
Fisher & Lawrlo of this city and the full
working drawings were made by them. The
complotrd plans show a building somewhat
different In exterior appearance from the
other buildings In the main court. It Is
rectangular In form , being 2-lcrxlHO feel In
elr.o. aud IB marked by the fact that , unlike
the other buildings of the main court , It has
no ccntrar'motlvo , but depends for effect
upon the grouping of the corner pavilions.
Thu general style of the building Is French
renaissance. It presents the appearance of
a rectangular mass , with the corners ac
centuated by square pavilions with pedl-
inenls , each pavilion being surmounted by
a group of statuary. Thu general style of
the front Is that of a low' stylobate sur
mounted by a colonnade , the bright of both
Icing about forty feet. The wall surfaces
between the pavilions arc treated with
double colonnades with windows between.
The general treatment Is on broad lines wl'h
largo wall surfaces rather than by dividing
the design Into minor parts. The ornament
Is French renaissance.

A dispatch from AYaHhlngton contains the
Information that the secretary of the treas
ury yesterday granted authority to the Meo
I.co Wall Village company to bring Into this
country 100 Chinamen to take part In the
Chinese village at the TransmUalsslppI and
International Exposition. This is the conces
sion which has been represented In Omaha by
Hong Sling the Chinese agent of the Union
Pacific road. Sling secured the concession
( or a Chinese village at the exposition the
village to Include a joss house , theater , res
tnurant , b < t7aars , etc.
CoiKildcrablo delay has been experienced
l > y the fact that the secretary of the treas
ury was not disposed to grant authority
for bringing In Chinese artisans and art'uta
lor the reason that the secretary had ac
quired the Idea that the Imported Chinamen
Bccmcd to melt after their arrival In this
country and It was , therefore , Impossible to
enforce the condition which provided for
their deportation to their native country al
the expiration of a stated period. The sec
retary rcfiibed to grant the authority until
the management of the exposition made the
request that It bo done , und it Is probable
that the exposition Is made responsible for
the leiurn of the Celestials after the exposi
tion.
f The granting of this authority opens the
way for the granting of like authority to

who has also requested permission to bring

Prof. J. II. Gore commissioner for the
exposition to Sweden , writes from Stockholm
helm that he has been Investigating th ?
matter of securing a Swedish exhibit and IP
meeting with success. The plan nearest
thu heart of the professor Is one contemplat
ing the cccuiliu ; of a Swedish village , but
ho sajh he llmls that the experience the
Swedish people had with the World's fair
people In this direction was not such as to
warrant the belief that another attempt of
that kind could be successfully mudo. Ho
suggests , however , that If the Swedes of
Omaha and vicinity would form an organiza
tion and Invite the people now having ex
hlblts at the Stockholm exposition which
would bo appropriate for use In such con
nection to come to Omaha with thrlr wares
such effort would undoubtedly succeed.
In this connection President Wattles
makes the Miggcstlon that the organisation
of Swedish citizens of Omaha who have al
ready Incorporated for the purpose of taking
part In the exposition should take this mat
ter In hand and bring about the result
hinted at by Prof. Gore.
Referring to a general Swedish exhibit ,
I'rof. Gore says ho l.s negotiating with numer
ous manufacturers who hnvo exhibits al the
exposition and feels quite confident of bocnr-
Ing an exhibit which will be representative.

CUT IN RATES TO THE SOUTH

Following the reductions recently nn-
nouticcil on shipments of merchandise from
Iloston and common points to the west anil
the later cuts In hard coal rates from Chicago
cage to Missouri river points anil from here
to all points In the state of Nebraska , conies
the Important announcement that this week
will see a considerable cut In freight rates
on nil shipments of packkig house products
from Omaha , South Omaha , Kansas City
and St. Louis to Texas common points.
A circular Just Issued by the Southwest
ern Freight bureau announces that on Sep
tember 24 , Friday of next week , there will
be a horizontal cut of 7 cents per 100 pounds
on shlpmccits of packing house products In
carload lots. This reduction will make the
rate from Omaha and South Omaha to Texas
common points 04 cents Instead of 71 cents
per 100 pounds. The rate from Kansas City
and St. Louis to Texas common points will
bo 5S cents Instead of 63 cents per 100
poucids. The usual differentials arc to apply
In making rates from polnta In defined terri
tories and to points In Texas taking higher
than common point rates.
The reduction In the rates on shipments
of packing house products to Texas will be
effective on all the roads from here to ( he
south. The .Missouri Pacific , the Burlington
and the Hock Island railroads all gave notice
of the reduction to their South Omaha ship
pers yesterday. The cut Is not altogether
unexpected. Well posted freight men have
expected that the rates on packing house
products would bo knocked down a few cents
for a coup'.o of weeks.
It Is believed that the now rates when put
In will be put In to stay. The freight men
ay that there Is an enormous quantity ot
lacking house products being shipped to the
outh nowadays , and It Is believed the
novement will continue heavy enough to
ustlfy the low rates that were announced
his morning. All the southern lines arc
aid to have an abundance of business at
iresont. The freight trafllc Is made espe
cially large by shipments , of packing house
products and of wheat for export.

The announcement that on September 21 all
arlffs of through business between the Union
acltlc and the Oregon Hallway & Navlga-
ion company would bo cancelled , published
n yesterday's press dispatches , was the
subject of much comment In local railway
circles here jcstcrday. According to a state-
ncnt of a prominent olllclal of the Union
'aclHc , It means the absolute divorce of the
) rcgon Hallway & Navigation company from
the old parent line , the Union Pacific.
Information at the Union Pacific head
quarters In this city Is to the effect that
the cancellation of the through tariff rates
will occur on September 23. instead of on
September 21 , as pieviously announced. Offi
cials of that line are rather reticent ID dis
cussing the matter , and yesterday rc-
'used to state whether or not the necessarj
: en days' notice had been filed with the In
terstate Commerce commission. The heads
of both the freight and the passenger dc-
lartmeiits , as well as General Manager Dick
inson , are In the east at present and the
( subordinate ottlcerB arq wary of being In
terviewed upon the delicate matter. One
Union Pacific ofllclal ye&terday , however
vouchsafed the Information that the. Oregon
Short Line was the railroad that would suiter
most by the cancellation of through rat'es.
For several months there has been a dis
pute between the Union Pacific and the two
Independent lines that formerly belonged to
the system , but that are now free to make
and break rates as they please. Genera
Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pa
cific tried to force a settlement of the ques
tion of the division of passenger rates aul
because he could not he withdrew from the
Western Passenger association. The Oregon
gen Hallway & Navigation company has long
had a good thing out of the business to Port
land and Intermcdlatu points on Us lUc
com.ng from the Oregon Short Line and the
Union Pacific. It has received 2SVi per cent
of the price of every ticket sold by the
Union Pacific to any point on Its line , no
matter whether that point was Portland or
whether It was the first station west o
Huntlngton , Ore. , the eastern terminus o
the Oregon Hallway & Navigation company
On a $40 ticket , from here to Portland , th's
division netted the Oregon Hallway & Navl
gallon company Just $11.40.
QUITS TUB OREGON LINE.
The effect of the cancellation of all througl
tariffs of the Union Pacific and the Oregoi
Hallway & Navigation company means tha
the Union Pacific will no longer have the
short line to Portland and other points or
the northern Pacific cojst. The Union Pa
ciflo will continue to accept business for
points on the Oregon Short Line , but wll
accept none for points on the Oregon Hall
way & Navigation company's Ilncu. Rates
to points on the latter line via the Union
Pacific would be made up by adding tosethe
the oum of the local rates , and that wouli
piovo somewhat too expensive a luxury fo
either fieight or passenger traffic to bu a
all useful. The Union Pacific will route al
Its freight and passenger business to Port
land and northern Pacific coast points via
Sacramento. It has practically done thl
over since Its break with the Oregon Shor
Line , but now thu shipments of freight am
routing of pnsEonscrs to Portland via Sacra
memo ulll ho a necessity with the Unioi
Pacific , as It has no through rates over the
Oregon Hallway & Navigation company *
lines. Prior to this time the use of the
Shasta route from Sacramento north to Port
land has been entirely optional.
Whether the Union Pacific ran forci
freight and paisc'iiKer tranic via ( he"Shasta
Itoutc , " which Is several hundred miles
longer than Its old lino. Is an open question
A prominent fcblpper of Portland , who was
In Omaha not Inng ago , at that time
answered a query of a IJeo reporter on this
matter as followB : "Tim people In Port
land like the Union Pacific. They like Mr
Dlck'lnson and Mr. Munroe ; they liavo al
ways treated us white , and our people wouli
do almost anything for them. Hut when I
cornea to receiving our business over the
Southern Pacific , another phase la put 01
the matter. Tiio people In Portland ardently
hate the Southern Pacific , and they will node
do anything to help It , and I'm afraid If the
Union Pacific endeavors to force the use o
the Southern Pacific In and out of Port
land It will get left. "
The effect of ( ho cancellation of the
through tariffs of the Union Pacific by Itu
time-honored line to Portland Is to cause
great Joy among western lines. The Hock
Island and the Hurllngton In. 1st that they
will now bo able to handle the bulk of the
btiElncsi. from Chicago to Portland , tending
It via the Hlo Grande lines and the Oregoi
Short Line. The Hurllngton also now claims
the shortest line from Omaha to Portland via
the Nortlicin Pacific , with which It con
nects at Hillings , Mont ,

There Is every probability that another
crlos of cheap rates'from Omaha to Chicago
will soon bo announced. They have not yet
eon ordered by Ulllef Halo Promulgator
Caldwcll of the Western Passenger assocla-
lon , but they are very likely to be within
he course of a few days. The rate from
ere to the World's fair city Is $12.75 , nnd
t Is likely to be cut down to $10 , or less ,
n Tuesdays and Thursdays for a month or
noro. One Omaha-Chicago line yesterday
vlred Chicago , asking permission to an-
ounce such a rate.
If the rate Is made ft will bo because the
Omaha-St. Louis lines are selling one-way
Ickets from hero to that city for $9 10 every
Tuesday and Thursday during the contlmi-
nce of the St. Louis exposition. To offset
he movement to St ! Louis , naturally at-
ractcd by this reduction , the Omaha-Chicago
Ines are anxious to offer similar Inducements

CHICAGO , Sept. 13. Passenger affairs In
ho territory of'tho Western Passenger as-

'asscugcr atsoclatlon are steadily growing
vorse. The latest phase of the situation Is
hat the Great Northern and the Northern
\iclllc have announced that they will apply
n all California business the $5 rate of com-
nlsslon which was Inaugurated by the Union
aclfic to all north Pacific coast points and
vhlch the other lines have been paying for
omo time. This rate of commission was
tarted by the Union Pacific after It had lost
U control of the Oregon Short Line and all
he other roads were compelled to trail In
o protect their Interests. The result has
> cen that the rate of commission has been
tscd to cut the rates and the situation on
ho north Pacific coast has been badly de
porallzcd for some time. Now It Is expeclcd
hat the trouble will extend to all the points
n California which are leached by the two
lorthcrn lines and by the Union Pacific ns

Mount Plsgah Baptist church , a colored
congregation which has attracted by various
Incidents the attention of the people of
Omaha , has scored another noteworthy event
by withdrawing from the Nebraska and
Iowa Harder association. This action WJB
taken for the reason that < i seceding portion
of the church organised another church ,
Mount Moi'lah , and secured admission Into
the Border Baptist asioclutlon as a separate
congregation on September 2 ,
The trouble la Bald to have extended
hack ( o April 30 , when a meeting was held
at which an effort vsas made to remove
the present pastor , Kov. J , January. The
effort failed and the milnorlty which opposed
the pastor held another meeting a few days
later , contrary to the Instructions of the
congregation. Tint-result was that all these
member * of the church were expelled. " These
excluded members ! then formed the 'Mount
Morlah church , Hue organization being per
fected by members of Mount Klnn church.
On September 2 tbotcliurch appeared before
the association and necureJ admittance.
It Is alleged that , the new church was
taken In despite Jhoi'lact ' that the members
admitted that the ) * had been expelled from
the Mount PlsgaJi ! ' church , The delegates
from 1'lsgah refused to take any part In an
Investigation , which they believed was a violation
lation of the church and the scriptures. For
thin reason the withdrawal from the assocli-
tlnn wai decided upon as foon as the new
cnurch was admitted ,

At about 10:30 : o'clock Sunday night three
picn , masked and armed with revolvers ,
held up and robbed ten men of about ? 100
In John Qulnn's saloon nt Sixteenth and
Nicholas strcetH. Thrco men were arrested
yesterday on suspicion of having com
mitted this holdup. They are : Carl llruocr ,
llvlnR near Seventeenth and Charles Directs ;
Oeorse llarkhart , 2510 Cans street , and
George I'rlro , who resides on Seventeenth
Btrcet between Nicholas and 1'aul. All
three nro younc In years , but have been
known to the police as members of the well-
.knoun Nicholas Street Can Rushers' asso
ciation.
The ten men who were robbed were gath
ered In n rear room In the saloon and were :
1'hllllp Smith , a smeltiiiK works employe ;
Dell Evans , n railroad man ; M. J. Cuff ami
.Martin Mulvlhlll , firemen ; I'at Cuff , Swltch-
mrn Hyrne , Lea Klmball , driver for an Ice
company ; Thoirfas McDcrmott , Jack Good-
fellow , ore of Qulnn's bartenders , and a
driver for the American Express company ,
whose name has not yet been secured. The
oxprcsa company driver , Goodfollow and
Evans were robbed. The former lost about
$4 , Goodfollow was robbed of $93 and Evans
of $ G.EO.
The men , with the exception of McDcr-
mott , , wore talking In the room when the
doorCdvaM suddenly opened and two men ,
earn with a revolver In his hand , entered.
They wore respectively a red nnd white
handkerchief over the lower portion of their
faces. Another man with a blue handker
chief appeared nt a rear window and leveled
a lovolver at the men within.
"Hold up your hands , " commanded our
of the masked men with a volley of epi
thets.
A couple of the men In the room de-
, murrcd , but when they glanced around and
saw that all their companions had thrown
their arms cityward , they gracefully accepted
the Inevitable end didlikewise Then the
nine men were placed In HUP , the man at
the window guarding one ead and another
of the robbers guarding the other. The
third of the highwaymen then proceeded
alrcig the line , tapped each man's pocket
and If he found evidenced of money searched
him and secured his wealth.
AUUESTED AS SUSPECTS ,
Just as the job was completed McDermott
went to the rear door. The toughs turned
UDon him and two of them presented le-
volvcrs to his held , while the third grabbed
for his watch and chain. McDermott grafted
the weapon of the nearest man and a st'uggle
ensued. In the scuffle McDcrmott'H wrist
was sprained and one of nla palms was cut.
The robber hroko away from hh grasp and
all three disappeared northward In the alley
In the rear of the saloon.
The lob was done so quickly that none of
the victims recovered from thel- surprise In
time to give the alarm until the robbers dis
appeared. Then the proprietor of the saloon
Onlnn. who was on the front sidewalk , not
half a block away , was notified. A police
man , who had been In front of the place only
ten minutes before , was hunted up and told
of the occurrence. Nothing was done Sun
day night to apprehend the robbers.
Yesterday George Price entered Qulnn's
saloon and made some Inquiries atom the
robbery. IJartcnder Goodlejlow , who was In
the place , at once recognbed him as one of
the robbers and so Informed the police.
Pri-e was arrested. Hruner was located In
the saloon across the street and was a-restcd
on a description given of one of the trio.
Barkhart was named as the third of the
oartv and was later nrrcsi'd.
All three of the prisoners have been In
Jail before. They have loafed about the
corner or Sixteenth and Nicholas streets fo
years past , being members of the gang thr.t
-nfesl.s. ( list corner. In the past the effort : ;
of this gang have been directed toward raie-
! ni ; the nrlce of cans of bcor and thch
offenses have been no more serious than to
heM up p.ifsersby for the necosa"y money.
In some cases where the selected victims
Have refused to donate they have been as
saulted and beaten by the gang.
Harklnrt . 'ava he was near Qulnn's saloon
Sunday nl ht , but the others deny having
been there. The police consider Price's In
quiries at the ualoon yesterday regarding the
robberv were 'made ' for the purpose of dls-
armlne anv suspicion that might bo diivcte-J
to himself.
H IR nalri Hist all three of the iwlsoners
c-in be Identified by some of tliolr victims ,
despite the fact that a goodly portion of the
latter were thoroughly frightened during the
off air.
IDENTIFYING TWO MEN.
The police figure they have a sure case of
highway robbery against George Price and
Carl Ilruner , the two men now under ar
rest for the holdup which occurred at Ed
Qulnn's saloon Sunday night. The state-
mcntM of Goodfellow , Qulnn's barkeeper , and
others who were victims of the thugs , were
conflicting upon the evening In question.
Yesterday afternoon , however , when con
fronted with the prisoners In the captain's
ofllce at police headquarters , they positively
Identified Price and Urucior.
Although the men wore masks Good fel
low swore that ho could recognize their
voices and also their general personal char
acteristics. They were not so sure as to the
Identity of George Hurkhard. On his own
behalf Hurklianl swore that he waft with
the men upon the night the holdup occurred ,
but that he left them shortly before 9 o'clock
and wont homo. Upon closely questlon'ng
Qulnn , who seemed loth to give up any In
formation , duo to the fact that the hoMui
had occurred In his saloon on Sunday night ,
It was developed that ho had teen both
Price and Druncr in his place the Satur
day night previous. He stated that Ilriuer
had bought a cigar shortly before closing
time Saturday night , and had been present
when ho counted the receipts of the day.
Upon completing th's ' work Qulnn said he
took a revolver which lay bcsldn the cash
register and put It In hl pocket. He Is
of opinion that the robbers Intended holdIng -
Ing him up Saturday night , but postponed
the matter until such time as they could
catch him unarmed.
As Durkhard's ( statements to the police
appeared to he truthful , he xvas discharged
from custody last evening. There Is no rea
son for thinking he was In any way con
nected with the affair.

We sell shoes cheaper than you can buy them anywhere.
We have to. If we did'nt we couldn't sell Any at all.
Our shoe room is neither handsome nor inviting , It is
dingy , inconvenient , out of the way. To offset these
disadvantages we make inducements that other stores
don't. Better shoes ; that's one. Lower prices ; that's
two. A Guarantee of good service ; that's three. On
these three inducements we get the trade of people who
don't care for fancy fixtures or frills. In ou'r Douglas
street show window today we are showing samples of line
shoes. As fine as any man need wear. Going by the7
prices you would never know that they wore fine but go
ing by the shoes you can see that there are none better
in town. Three dollars buys the heavy box calf shoc >
coin toe usually sold for $4.50. Three fifty is our price
for the Klondike tans , mastiff to"e ! I/our dol'ars ' will pay
for those heavy enamels worth six dollars. And our
price on calf lined Vicis the easiest shoe in the , world , is
four fifty instead of seven and a half. Inducements of
this kind are what induce people to buy shoes here.
