For .this purpose ho will bring to Omaha
artisans and artists from the north of China

Is that ihiH prejudice has arisen out of tne
fact that the great bulk of Chinese Imml-

water supply , ami some time will necessarily
elapse before the lagoon Is filled to the top
of the banks.
The work of laying the water mains on
the grounds Is progressing and the work
will be completed within the next two
works , but the date when the connections
will be made with the mains of the water
company Is unsettled. Until this connec

turned Into the lagoon Is very small and the
filling process will be very slow.

The members of the Illinois Exposition
commission who visited Omalu last week to
select a site for the Illinois building are be
ing rather extensively quoted In the Chicago
papers regarding their Impressions , Colonel
William II. Harper , chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the commission. Is
quoted as follows In the Times-Herald of
Saturday :
"I believe the exposition at Omaha will
present the very finest and most complete
display of agricultural products * ever seen in
this country. I know that Is s-iylng a good
deal , for It is the first Impulse of every one
who hears such a statement to raise the
World's fair question. I believe It , though ,
anil nuke no exceptions.
"The gentlemen who have undertaken to
build that exposltlcn are alert , wide-awake
business men. They hnvo planned a big
thing and ihcy have already pushed the
preliminary work so far that there Is no
doubt as to the success of the exposition.
The main buildings are already fur nn the
road to completion. There Is no doubt the
exposition will be absolutely complete on
the date set for the opening June 1. 1SOS.
The people of Illinois and Chicago ewe It
to themselves to do all In their power to
promote the success of the enterprise. "

Cniiiily CoiiiiiilNNloncrN IHKIHan Ail-
dress til tlir Volors.
The members of the Hoard of County Com
missioners have prepared and Issued an ad
dress to the voters of the county upon the
two bond propositions which are to bo pre
sented nt the coming election , and which
will require a two-thirds majority of the
votes cast to pass. The addreeB is as fol
lows :
"Wo dffilro to call the attention of the
voters of the county to the proposition to bo
submitted for their approval or rejection
nt , tl o election of November 2 , 1807 , to author
ize the Issue of funding boncio to fund the In
debtedness represented by Judgments against
the county growing out of the attempted sale
by the county In ISSf , and 1S87 of a portion
of the county poor farm , known as Doug'ns
addition , n Is of the utmost Importance to
the county and Its taxpayers , that this propo
sition nhould not bo overlooked by the voters
on the day of election. A failure to vote for
this proposition will mean that the county
will bo compelled to pay 7 per cent Interest
per annum on nearly $200,000 of Indebtedness ,
Instead of 4'Xper cent , or less and will
necessitate a very heavy and burdensome
levy for Interest for the. next few yeirs to
meet this Indebtedness , which must bo paid ;
whereas. If said proposition receives the
requisite affirmative vote , It Will mean a
largo saving In the. Interest on this Indebt
edness to the taxpayers , and will enable the
county commissioners to raise the amount
I re-quired to pay and discharge this Indebt-
HCB.-3 and then , gradually , by small levies ,
extending over a period of twenty years , to
I raise the amount necessary to meet these
| bonds nt maturity. No levy whatever will
bo required to bo made , except sufficient to
pay the Intercut accru'ng ' from year to year
on these bonds , until after the lapse of ten
years from January 1 , 1S9S.
"In this way the taxpayers will be relieved
Tram this very heavy ijress'.ng ' burden , whlc'J
otherwise ) must ba met at once. The- benefit
to the taxpayers f om such -course would
f-eom to be soil-evident. WIntevor prejudice
may exist In the minds of the voters as to
i this matter , It should be sulllctent to say to
1 rrmovo the same that the svprcme court of
the state has finally decided the e-ntroversy
ag.ilnst the county after the most vigorous
pud stubborn contest by the county which It
has ever been called upon to innke In any
court , extending over a period of more than
i five yea s and carried again and again to
I the hlshftU court of the state , only to meet
with defeat each time. It has now been
'finally ' and forever decided against the : outity
I ami nothing more can bo done than pay the
: claims.
"Wo shall state , however , that we have
i succeeded In making , In our judgment , a
{ most advantageous adjustment of a largo
| portion e < f tills Indebtedness with the holdc-ri
j of the name , thereby saving a largo sum to
I the taxpaye-s of the county. It is a condi
tion which confronts the taxpayers which
must bo nut and wi > urge upon the voicru
the necessity of not overlooking this prcoadl-
tlon on election diy and of casting thol"
votes In Its favor.
"We also wish to direct your attention
to the preposition to vote $100.000 of bands
! In aid of the Transmlssieslppl Exposition.
, This enterprise will , In our judgment , dn
more for the material prosperity of thin
county and state than anything which has
ever taken place within Its borders , and , In
our judgment , It should receive the loyal
support and olfirmatlve vote of every voter In
the county on election day , "

by Mutz alone , that he , Glllceple , shall be

The proc-ofdlni ? Is based upon a showing I
made by Glllesplo ttmt a former Invcstlga-1
'
tl-n made by the committee , was held In
secret an3 was conducted solely by Mutz.
A leglblatlvo committee -of five had
been appointed by the Htato legislature , but
Mutz was the only one to appear when thff"
Investigation of the Institute was commenced
during the fore part of last June. Mutz
at once took charge of the books , accounts ,
vouchers arjl everything else pertaining to
the conduct of the Institution during the
nineteen years of Glllcsple's superlntcndency.
1 The Investigation was carriul on In secret
bolely by Mutz and GIlUspIo wan .refused
any admittance- the sittings. At the con
clusion of the pretended Investigation Mutz
reported that Glllesplu was short In his ac
counts. This was the flra knowledge the
superintendent received of what the findings
were. While the Investigation was still on ,
I'rof. Glllceplo asserts thut he was notified on
September 15 that he had been removed.
TliU removal wsu said to have been based
on a partial report made by Mutz , that Prof.
Glllrsple was short. The profes-'or s"ts out
that this report has been withheld from him
and he I'as been refused all ncce'ss to It.
Ho sajs lie wrote to Governor Holcomb , ask
ing for a copy of it , but the latter did not
reply.
COURTS A FULL INQUIRY.
In view of the charges that luvo been
madeProf. . Glllcsple insists that ho should
bo given nn opportunity to be heard at the
further Investigation that la to bo made.
He says that during the time he was con
nected wi-Ii the Institution ltd student body
increased from thirty to 1GO , and the appro
priations made for It by the legislature cor
respondingly Increased. These appropriations
had been expended and managed by him
under tiio direction of the State Hoard of
Public I.undu and Uuildlngs , and his reports
hnvo always been approved by them , indi
cating that the management WUH correct.
Moreover , he expresses his willingness to ap
pear before any proper court of Inquiry or
any proper Investigating committee to cx-
p'aln all Ills acts connected with the Institu
tion , and Is ready to show that none of his
aciE were Irregular or that any discrepancy
or shortugu occurs In his accounts , except
what might bo found by n balancing of tlni
books. Ho has had no opportunity , he siys ,
to balance- the noolio , an they were taken
from him vrhen Mutz arrived. Aftir the lat
ter made his alleged partial report ilic hooks
were turned over to Glllesple , but before ho

again taken away , and he says tic has been

The action of the Hoard of Education In
deciding on a rigid enforcement of the rule
compelling non resident pupils to pay tuition
In the city schools Is already raising , all
kinds of trouble. Acting on the instrnctlcns
of the board the principals have notified all
n-n-res'dent ' pupils that they cannot be re
ceived Into the tchools until their tuition Is
paid. A number of tuition fees have been
paid , but a large number of children are out
of school.
The number ct non. resident pupils Is sur
prising even to these who considered them-
reives familiar with the uchools. Only n few
reports have been received from principals
BO fa- , but these Indicate that the number
of puplln affec'.cj by tlio order will run up to
three figure. . ' In the Walnut Hill school
alone thirty pupils are barred by the rue. !

BLANKET BALLOT APPEARS

Couiily Aldiriicy for
I an Opinion.
The first sample copies of the official bal
lot for the coming election were received by
the county cerk ! yesterday and there is
already a lively demand for them. As thin
Isi the first appearance of the blanket ballot )
In Nebraska hundreds of voters who are
not entirely familiar with the new system
are asking for ballo ! in order that they may
vote Intelligently on election day.
The new ballot Is a somewhat striking
typographical production , and with the
prominent cuta of party emblems , at first
sight It might easily bo taken for an ad
vertising poster. The Fhects are 18x21
Inches , and each contains seven columns to
accommodate tin * tickets of the various par
ties and petition candidates. The repub
lican ticket occupies first place at the left
of the ballot , and the populist , democratic ,
silver republican , prohibition and national
democratic tickets follow In the order named.
The last coiumn nt the right Is reserved for
petition ciiidliljlrs. The prohibition and
national democratic parties are only repre
sented by a state ticket , leaving a straight
issue between the republicans and fuMonlsts
on county and prec'net ofllcuJ. The ballots
for the various wards and precincts are
similar , except In respect to ttie minor ollk-es.
Aetlng on the opinion of the Bpecl-il attor
ney for the Hoard of County Commissioners
the bend propositions have been printed on
a separate ballot , Instead of be'rig tacked
on at the foot of the main ballot. Owl UK
to tlio liiiim-nse size of the ba'Iots ' the
county eonimla.'loners have been obliged to
hive larger ballet boxes made especially for
their accommodation.

regard to the appointment of special police
Thesu officer. ) have previously hsi-ii appointed
by the mayor and Hoard of Kire and Pollci
Commisslomrs , but In this case no action
will be taken by thcwo efilclals. This lowc ?
the matter to the county authorities and
there Is some qurstlan whether tlio aj.nolnt-
mcnt of the special palloo Is the duty of
the sheriff or u function of the Hoard of
County Commissioners. County Attorney
I ! < idlgo ! : has tx-in asked to give a written
opinion on the matter and the county offi
cials will be guided by his advice.
The decision of Judge Dickinson in the
' ir.andamuo eauo brought against the city
j clerk by Krank Halle'to compel that official
to place his name on the official ballot as
u eaivjii'ate for polke judge Is of considerable
' Impoitanco to the city from a financial ntand-
1 point. It will cost the city fully ROUO to
allow Mr. Hallcr to bo a candidate , this
, amount representing the expenses which will
bn chargeable to the city on account of the
fuel that It will the-n be a participant In the
election As there are no city officers to bo
elected the expense of the election to the
city ls restricted to tlio cost of rcglHinillun
and of putting the booths In place If Mr
Halter's name goes on the ballot the city
will be compelled to yrovido cverytulut ; that
would be nects-iary If an entire municipal
ticket was In thefield. . It would have to
pay $11 each to the- judges and clerks to count
Mr. Hallcr's vote. It w. uld Lave to furn.sh
a full outfit o' stationery and election sup-
lilies and It would probably bo compelled to
furnish the special uolk-cmen to do duty at
the booths. If the writ of m'tndamus should
bi- granted the city clerk und his assistants
would have to do Koine lively hustling to get
ready before next Tucvday.

Tomad said and at the corner of Sixteenth

ho was I'jcc'.cd. From thU point ho remem
