The members of the Illinois Exposition
commlMlon who remained In the city yes
terday held a conference with the ctposl-
tlon executive committee t the Commercial
club ronms yccterday at noon to discuss the
flctalU of the rules governing exhibits nnd
oilier matters on. which the members of the
Illinois body OcslrcJ to ho fully luformccl
Iieforo roturnlng to t'uclr constituent ? .
The Illinois commissioners present were
President Carr , Secretary Hambleton and
Commissioners Harper , Wall and llrlnton.
Ail o ( the members ol the exposition execu
tive committee were present , together with
I'ronldeiit Watl'ea ' and Secretary \VukeflelJ.
After lunch had been disposed of the sub
ject matter of the meeting \\ux discussed
nnd the visitors took occasion to again ex
press their pltnsurc at the manner In which
< hi-y imd been entertained while In Omaha ,
nd th-'lr determination to make such a rc-
I'nrt to their constituents ns would Insure an
exhibit which would he at the same tlmo a
ciedlt to the state of Illinois and a source
of pleasure to the management of the ex
position.
President Carr made ti brief but eloquent
talk to this crtect , 'but the sentiment of the
veiling commission was more forcibly ex
pressed by Secretary Hnmbleton , who re
ferred in eloquent terms to the hospitality
which had greeted the visitors at every
turn. He mid ho had noticed that even the
gargoyles OI1 the city hall smiled pleasantly
Upon him while ho was walking about the
streets examining the public building , and
ln > said ho was surprised to see that the
Kl.iatloutlseH had champaglvn corks In their
mouths. Major Hamblcton said these- were
r.Imply symbols of the hospitality which way
dispensed by Omnha , and hu assured the
exposition ofllclalH that the people of Illi
nois noutd know how to reciprocate the
licarty good will shown toward their repre-
BcutnthTH. He said It wan Ills Intention to
ii ; > among all tlie manufacturers of Illinois
whhln the next few mmiths. und he prom-
Inrd that he would present the merits of the
Omaha exposition to them In such a light
that the state qr Illinois would bo repre
sented by ono of the llnest exhibits ever
soon at any exposition.
Mamger Hosewator Informed the visitors
that the Transmlsshslppl Exposition would
have , among other things , the largest nnd
tnt'st complete exhibition of agricultural
products nnd implements ever seen In the
world , and this Information was Creeled with
applause- from the visitors , who declared
that the largo manufacturers of Illinois
would be represented in that part of the ex
position by an exhibit that would be second
to none.
Along with these exchanges of pleasant
ries and compliments the party discussed the
cold details of business ami u perfect under
standing wan reached on all topics , the meetIng -
Ing break Ing up nmlit assurances of hearty
co-operation on both sides.
Just before this was done Manager Kirk-
cndall withdrew with Judge Wall , the
counsel for the Illinois commission , to ex-
urnte the contract between the exposition
association nnd the Illinois commission for
tln > spare to be occupied by the Illinois
building. The site allotted to this building
was that selected while the whole party
was on the grounds Wednesday and to which
reference has been made.
The remaining members of the Illinois
commission returned home last evening on
the Ilurllngton.

The faulty construction of the lagoon on
the exposition grounds has been clearly
demonstrated by the recent breaks in the
outlet. That it Is poorly built Is shown in
other respects. The manhole In the middle
of the big basin has been an eyesore ever
slncii It was constructed. It stunds where It
is visible- from all directions and with the
lagoon full uf water U Is said that it will be
constant menace to boats plying about , and
accidents it Is contended will certainly re
sult If It Is allowed to remain where Is
now Is.
To locate the outlet In the middle of the
basin necessitated the construction of over
175 feet of sewer , wherein the same result
would have been attained If the outlet had
been located at the edge of the basin where
it could have been hidden from vlt > w and not
bo a dangerous obstruction for boats.
In view of the situation , whether It is
decided to remove- the outlet to the edge of
the basin , or not , It will be necessary to
let nil the water out of the lagoon before
the break In the sewer can bo repaired.
The Idea of breaking Into the sewer outside
of the lagoon when the break was Inside
of the basins will seriously Interfere with
the draining of the basin and will add very
mntci tally to the cost of making the re
pairs. When the obstructions nro removed
from the hole made by Geraldlmi the water
will pour out In a perfect torrent , and will
wash n great hole In the surrounding made
ground , wliicn win auerwnrn nave to no
tilled. Unless this Is done the water will
not nil run out for several -weeks , as It Is
now escaping at a rate which lowers the
level In the big basin only about six Inches
per day. At this rate cold weather would
arrive before the lagoon could bo filled
again ami great dllllculty would follow any
attempt to till It during freezing weather ,
to say nothing of the dllllculty of making
the repairs during cold weather.
Nothing whatever was being done to
imko any repairs , the boto made on the
outside of the bnaln being filled with mud ,
through which the water was slowly escap
ing.
( lemldlno and his men about the grounds
are giving it out that the break was the
work of malicious mischief , that some van
dal opened the gate valve , allowing the
water to escape , putting a umlclen pressure
on the plpo which caused It to settle. This
theory Is rrgarrd as moat absurd by people
who have had experience 'With sewers , anil
they point to this as further proof of Goral-
dlno's Ignorance on that subject. Proof I *
at hand that the gate valve was not open
ami that It was found tightly closed after
the break had been discovered. There were
two breaks In the sewer Insldo the lagoon
Ixisln , Onei was about midway between
the edgeof the basin and the manhole and
the other was nearer the bank , Doth
jilucei were marked by mlnluturo whirlpools
and were plainly seen by a number of
men about the grounds ,

Dr. W. S. White , whom It Is alleged was

a Uryan man , and Miss Etta Kasxel and
Miss Mary K. Glblln , mlcroscoplsts , were the
only witnesses who testified. Their evidence-
was substantially that given before the civil
service examiner some months ago. It went
to show that the charges of Inefficiency and
lack of attention to duty on the part of Dr.
Whlto were unfounded.
During the nfterm on seven other wit

three former employes of the bureau. They
were Mrs. J. S. Walters , John Xcllcr and

The first term of the Omaha School of Law
was opei.ed last night In the auditorium of
the Creighton ( Medical college. Tills Insti
tution has just been organized and It is not
fully known in this city that It exists. It
was started by a lot of young men who have
been engaged In reading law , ami who , to
further their own Interests , had formed a
society among themselves which has been
addressed from time to time by leading law-
yej-s In the city. The idea grew till the
svhomc of a law school was developed. Ex
perienced practitioners at the bar were in
terested In the move and the result was that
a corporation yyas formed which took the
name of the Omaha School of Law , which
will seek to give a legal education at Lure
cost.
cost.Tho
The formal opening last night consisted
of an address by T. J. Mahoney , who stands
at the head of the faculty. There was a very
fair attendance at the excrclres. many mem
bers of the Omaha bar being present. Mr.
Mahoney in his address compared the man
ner of securing a legal education In the olden
tlmo with that of today and paid a high
tribute to the legal profession , He outlined
the work which would be undertaken 'by the
new school and emphasized the fact that the
enterprise was not for the purpose of making
money. He said the plan was to systematize
the study of law along the bosst lines known
In the modern He'd of education. He said
tbo best of the local legal talent had volun
teered Its aid In helping the school , aivJ he
predicted for the Institution a future of great
usefulness and success.
The enrollment of students will be vir
tually completed tonight and It Is expected
that there will be between forty and fifty
young men ready to begin the work with
the starting of the new school. The real
work of the Institution will begin next week.

A quartet of unfed nnd landless men hit
upon a plan yesterday by which their hun
ger was dissipated at the expense of a fash
ionable Farnam street restaurant. They en
tered the plnce and accounted for their
clothes not being in the latest style by re
marking that they were stockmen just In
from the ranch. They were seated by the
unsuspecting bonlface and ordered tbo choic
est of meat and1 drink. They enjoyed gsme.
fish and fowl. They ordered rare wines and
salads of such flavor as their palates had
never before responded to. When the tlmo
came fort the reckoning , something near $10 ,
they hud nothing to offer but their rags and
tatters. So they had to go to Jail nnd will
answer to the mild charge of disorderly
conduct , the only ono that would cover the

Is a cattleman ofvHnrney ; county , Oregon ,
and strolling across the country formed a
friendship with L. B. Duncan near Orrln
Junction , Wyo. neTuTvIng that the product

-
terday.
The next scene tmntplred In Omalm. where
Miller had como to Arrange for the disposal
of the sheep. He had raised $103 , and with
the deslro to celebrate his success , visited
the abode of a colored woman on Fifteenth
and Burt streets. Here n select social was
In progress and Miller consumed a. large
nmount of liquid refreshment. When ho
came to check up afterward he found that
ho was some $13 short , and .complained to
the police of the dwindling of his cash ac
count. Accordingly Ida Kwlng and Mary
Richmond were arrested on the charge of
larceny from the person.
Miller had no sooner appeared at the police
station as complaining witness than a tele
gram arrival from a Wyoming sheriff with
Instructions to hold Millet nnd Duncan for
sheep rustling. So Miller Is charged with
being a fugitive froin justice , as Is also Dun
can , who happened along at an opportune
moment.
Sheriff Hoacn of Douglos. Wyo. , was tele
graphed that Duncan and Miller were In
custody and replied that ho and the owner
of the sheep would leave for 0 inn ha today.
Duncan was treated to a course of questions
by Captain Haxe and was led to confess his
part In the transaction. Ho says that ho
and Miller , whom hu has known for about
a month , have been working as herders on
the range. Being familiar with the methods
of shipment , they obtained two cars during
the afternoon a few days ago nnd late at
night drove In the sheep whllo the other
attendants were asleep. The cars were at
tached to n train scheduled to leave early
In the morning and there was little fear of
Immcdlato detection.

gave her a becoming welcome.
The play wits "Magda , " a drama of mod

It has never been seen in Omaha not many
times In English anywhere , though Duso and
Barnhardt have- played the title role In Ital

country. It Is of the kind called problem
plays , which contain the element of tragedy
In that for the problem presented there Is
and can be no solution short of the entire
readjustment of the recognized social order ,
no remedy except the remote millennium for
the Ills portrayed. The utility of such plays
b doubtful. ProjmbLy there were few in
the audience last nJght upon whom It was
not borne In that the- times are out of joint ;
but it needs not n .Daniel como to Judgment
to bring tliat message to mankind. Doubt-
ICM the general conviction is followed in
many cases by an Individual determination
to do one's littlp best to set right these
times. The Impulse is praiseworthy , and the
play , as causing , jt , Insofar beneficial.
But ho who setSriils shoulder to the wheel
of so great a reformation will faro even ao
Magda , who flewj1 ia , the stony face of con
ventionality , and who h d only a broken
heart for her pains , - The- weakness of the
problem plays Is that they question and do
not answer ; they point out the evil , which
ho who runs majyi raoil without them , but
they give no key to the Inextricable maze.
They cannot ; for there Is neither answer
nor key , save only the slow lapse of ages to
como and the birth and development of new
g&noratlons which shall painfully tind out a
bettor way. f
Magda's eln Is obvious. It is covered
neither by the dramatist nor by the consum
mate artist who plays the part. But the
pity and the hoplcssness of It. nnd the won
der , too , If It were not so common a thing
as to excite no wonder , Is that the craven
hound who betrayed her Is suffered to go
unwlilpped of justice , acquitted .and com
mended even by the senllo judgment of her
own father , and free to perfect his social nnd
political career without hindrance. Herein
lies one the greatest problem , which IK in
soluble. Another concerns the attempted
mixing of oil nnd water , which experience
has shown to be undesirable and difficult of
accomplishment. Magda Is delivered over to
the Philistines , bound hand and foot by the
requirements of a lifo to which she has
long been a stranger , by the rtmrply revived
memories of the dominion which these In
fluences once had over her , and by the patri
archal authority of her father , asserted
anew. Sheis of another world than these
provincial people , with their low alms , their
: ietty Interests and their sordid occupa
tions. With her father and her younger
sister she can bo tender and yearning , iip-
loldlng their weakness with the arms of
ler abounding strength ; for the rector , who
tas loved and lost her In the past , she con
ceives n new respect ; the others simply bore
ler when they do not fret her soul with
rlvlal annoyances.
And finally at the close endless disgrace
hrcatens her through the exposure of her
> ast. Loss of reputation for herself nnd her
family , lca of her own life nnd that of her
icor old father who menaces her , these are
icld out before her , and three may be
averted only by what ? Why , to bo sure.
ly a tardy marriage , a legal companionship
or llfo with a man who offers this rcpara-
lon at the pistol's mouth and who avails
ilmeclf of her final refusal to give up their
child for his base sake , to make a virtuous
exit from the scene of action. And this Is
ho state of things In which civilized nations
Ivo and inoro and have their being , and
vhlch optimists profess to believe will
hange for the better sometime before the
udgmont day.

ustalncd and tremendously effect Ivo
throughout. From hei- first entrance , rr.ill-
nnt with the self-confident splendor of the
successful woman , to her heartbroken nttl-
tudo at her dead father's feet , upon which
the final curtain falls , all Is delicately ar
tistic , the work of a great artist. She may
truly nay of herself as Magdn said , "Things
are right because I do them , " even , and In

abundant resources -Of his finished method
to bear upon the exacting part of the rector.
MlRo Oraco Fisher , aa the unformed sister
whoso character ilflords BO excellent a foil

At the request of wveral members of the
cltj- council , Mayor Knsor has called a spo-
clal meeting for Saturdty afternoon nt 5
o'clock , at which tlmo a number of Impor
tant mutters will bo considered. The first
matter of Importance to como ui >
will bo the request of the Union
Stock Yards company for permission
to lay a track across L street and along
Doyd street. This track , as every ono knows ,
has been laid for some time , but the stock
yardj managers a day or two ago came
down off their high horses and condescended
to ask permission of the clly authorities be
fore the orders went forth to tear up the
tracks.
Then tho-e will be a communication from
the mayor In regard to the tronchts dug by
the gas company on N street from Twen
tieth to Twenty-fourth street. Mayor Ensor
nants to hnvo these trenches filled at once ,
as there docs not et-cm to be an Immodlite
prospect of gas pipes being laid. According
to the mayor the gas company will bo com
pelled to place the pavement In the same
condition It was before excavating began , but
ho wants to have the council act oa tbo
matter.
A report Is to bo received at this meet
ing from the city attorney on the Drlscoll
matter. At the last meeting of the council
the city attorney was Instructed to look Into
the history of the case nnd to report on
the advisability of nuking an effort to re
open the case for the protection of the tax
payers.
This Is * n old case , the claim of Catherine
Drlscoll having been railroaded through the
City council in the last hours of the John
ston regime. All kinds of charges were
nude at the tlmo and slnco regarding the
motives of the cty officials , and there seems
to bo a feeling among certain rcpjbllcan
councllnu-n that if the case Is reopened the
judgment can be defeated. In fact Mayor
Ensor nude a statement to the council not
lonij agu In which he said that he wjuj pre
pared to establish the fact that fraud ex
isted and that ex-Mayor Ed Johnston and
ex-City Attorney Ell Doiul were implicated.
The claim for fraud Is based on the fact that
it was allowed to he filed KOIIIO lime after
the limitation of time for filing of such
eases , and tliut Ell Dintd withdrew the de
murrer In the case three days after he had
resigned as city attorney. Other dealings
alleged to be crooked are also to he shown
up in thw report cf the city attorney.
Some people claim that thu case Is King
revived for purely political reasons , bil'
Mayor Ensor and some of the rcpubUrin
councilmen say that the nntter was hrrught
to their attention at this time by the suit
In the district court , which Is now on to
determine to whom the amount of the Judg
ment shall bo paid.

J. W. Mills , Tom Dilution and Lawrence
Uonimcr are the names given by thrco
priscners at the cky jail who are charged
with highway ivhbcry. Joseph Hrablk , n
milkman living in Sarpy county , has Identi
fied the men and a complaint will bu filed
against them today. AccoiJing to the story
told by Hrabik he was on his way homo
with the day's collections from the sale of
milk , which amounted to $ l0.r.5. When ho
reached a lonely spot on the rojd , just south
Jf the city Ilmit.s , he was confronted by
three men who presented revolvers at his
head and compelled him to deliver the con
tents of the ca li box.
As soon ns was possible after the occur-
cnce Chief Brcnnan was notified and he
sent a description of the men to all sur
rounding towns , with the result that the
supposed robbers were arrested at Papllllun
In a drunken condition and brought to this
city. When searched not a cent was found
on the prisoners and it Is supposed that they
spent the proceeds of the robbery before
the olllcers got on their 'trail.
Chief Ilrcnnan said last night that at the
trial ho would produce a boy who wouM
testify to seeing the three men divide the
money shortly after -the holdup. This testi
mony , along with the positive Identification
by Hrablk , Is deemed enough to convict.
The police were engaged yesterday after
noon in looking up evidence against the
prisoners. It was learned that ono f them
worked this summer for a farmer near the
Hrablk place , nnd that he was f.imlllar
with the goings and comings of the milk
dealer.

bo followed. From the looks of the safe
and the manner In which the job was done
the police art ) inclined to think that the
work was that of homo talent , and some ar
rests ofwell known loafers are likely to
follow.

was presided over by Frank Fraud. Every
name on the republican state nnd county
tickets wan read off separately and endorsed
by the club. Quito a discussion was pre
cipitated over the endorsement of Gus Ilurto
for county commissioner , but It was almost
all ono way nnd the mongrel candidate ,
Frank Kaspar , came in for some severe
criticism. Special stress was laid upon the
fact that although ho was a llohemlan he
had seldom stood up for hla own people ,
hut when In control of the street , department
had given the foremanshlps to others , lie
was accused of discriminating In giving out
city employment again.it everybody who did
not patronize his saloon , and also of trans
ferring his property and business to his rela
tives In order to avoid hla creditors ami ren
der himself thereby Judgment proof. Only
ono man ventured to put in a good word for
Kaspar , and Harto was endorsed almost
unanimously.
