ATTRACTIONS FOR MIDWAY
Amusement Feature of Exposition Gives
Fromieo of Great Results.
SEVERAL NEW SCHEMES TO BE LAUNCHED

The Midway of llio Trnnsmlsslsalppl Kx-
posltlon promises to equal the amusement
feature of any exposition ever Jielil In this
country. It wilt cover considerable Ground
mid will ! > arranged In a manner which
will afford concessionaires all tlio act-ammo-
dntlons which could possibly bo desired ,
Tlicro will ho no remote corners , as at tha
World's fair , where attractions were located
BO far from the entrance that the visitors
to the street "dropped" their money long before -
fore they reached the end , and , as a natural
result , the attractions located away from
the upper end of the strcot were financial
failures.
The amusement street 1ms not been for
mally named , Manager Itced having a stand'
Inff offer of $10 for the best suggestion for
a name , but the locality had UECII generally
alluded to as the "Midway , " and there
seems to be no disposition to change this
designation. It Is not altogether Inappro
priate , as the "street" will form two sl'les
ot a square and visitors to the exposition
cannot pass from tl.e main court to cither
the 111iiIT tract or the north section of the
grounds without passing the Midway. The
amusement street will have Its lower end
at tbo viaduct leading across Sherman avc-
nuo to the bluff tract , and In order to reach
the north tract 'from the blurt park It will
bcj necessary to pass through the Midway
from end to end , the street extending north
to the viaduct loading across Sherman avc-
nuo to the old fair grounds tract and thunco
west to Twentieth street , being one-half
mtlo In length.
A pleasing feature ot ths Midway will
be the viaduct across Sherman avenue at
the north end of the street. This viaduct
will bo so constructed as to avoid the im
pression that tliu visitor is passing over a
viaduct. The approach to it will b' gradual
and It will bo lined on cither sldo with
numerous small booths , which will com
pletely shut out all view ot the street and
convoy the Impression that the visitor Is
Insldo the grounds all tha time. These
booths will be filled with dainty wares of
I various kinds and will form a section from
r the market of one of the old country rural
districts.
SIX CONTRACTS LET.
Contracts arc being made very slowly for
attractions on the Midway , the policy ot
Manager Rood being to malto contracts wiih
only such attractions as are of the hlgliosi
class and dcsltoblo In every way. There
arc scores * .f applications on Ille In the con
cessions department , but only six contracts
have been made up to this time. These Include -
cludo tin ; Chinese village , the Moorish vil
lage , a Street of Cairo , Shooting the Chutes ,
Sherman's umbrella and Cripple Cicek.
The Chlnisc village was one of the Hrst
concessions to be let , Hong Sling , a native
of tbo "Flowery Kingdom , " being the con
cessionaire. Ho has secured permission from
tfio Treasury department to Import 430 o !
Ills almond-eyed countrymen to populate the
Chinese village and prom.'nes to have a show
that will bo a correct representation of a
section from one of the populous cities of his
native land. Sling was concerned In the
Chinese village at tbo World's fair and Is
backed by ample capital and strong Influ
ence. The Chinese village will stand at the
west end of the Midway , adjoining Twentieth
street. It will bo a walled city and within
the frowning stone wall will be genuine Chi
nese bazaars , a restaurant , Joss house , tlrca-
ter and all the other 'things that go to make
up a Chinese city.
Shooting the Chutra will be the old fa
miliar slide ending In a broid basin of
water. This concession was let to Omaha
parties who propose to erect a slide with all
the latest Improvements and safety appli
ances. It will be located at the southeast
cqrner of the old fair grounds tract Just at
the west end of the viaduct.
The plans for the Moorish village and
Street of Cairo are nH matured sufllclently
to warrant an attempt to give a detailed
description of these concessions. Doth will
1)0 located on the bluff tract.
INTERESTING ENGINEERING DEVICE.
Sherman's umbrella will be located on the
old fair grounds tract north of Sho.Hlng the
Chutes. This mechanical
novelty will be one
of the most Interesting engineering devices
over seen at an exposition. Jt has been de
scribed In detail heretofore and further dc-
Bcrlptlon Is unnecessary.
Ono of the most interesting concessions on
the ground will bo located at the west end
of the Midway , near Twentieth street and
or/pcMte the Chinese village. This will be
known as Cilpplo Creek , ar.il It will bo an
exact fac-simllo reproduction of the most
famous mining town of recent times. The
town will bo thown as H existed In Its
palmiest days "before the flro , " when It was
the center of attraotlon In the mining world
during the years 1SB2 ar < l 1S93. At that
tlmo the busy , bustling town consisted of a
motley collection of houses , tents , "shacks"
and log cabins , strung along on either sldo
of a single street , lying In the narrow valley -
loy between towering hills , whose sides were
dotted with cnblivs and pierced with pros
pectors' shafts. The place was "wild and
woolly" In the extreme and all this will bo
reproduced on the exposition ground In the
most realistic manner.
This concession will occupy about 150000
Brjuare feet of ground and this spot will bo
transformed Into a mountainous region , with
towering peaks on every eldo ami the mining'
camp nestling rather restlessly In the val
ley. The hcuses forming the town will bo
exact reproductions of the grotesque buildIngs - \
Ings which constituted the central portions
of the town before the whole street was
wiped out of existence by firo. These build
ings will bo modeled from photographs of
the originals taken before the fire , and In ad
dition there will be n wimbcr cf log cabins
which wore around the outskirts of the town
and thus escaped destruction. Thcso cabins
will bo brought hero bodily and erected on
thy ground.
UUS1NUSS HOUSES REPRODUCED.
Tlicro , will be between fifty and sixty build
ings In the town , among them being a dance
hall , In which will be held the wild dances
which characterized these resorts during the
palmy days of the cowboy , n hotel , variety
theater , general merchandise stores , drug
stores , newspaper oillco , pcstofllco , express
olllco , barber shop , meat market , carpenter
shop , lodging houses , etc.
About 300 people will Inhabit the town ,
the majority at them being actual residents
of the old Crlpplo Creek. To add moro
realism to the scene genuine mountain
etago coaches , "mud wagons" and freight
wagons , will do business in the town all the
tlmo , the stage coaches making tegular
trips through town and up the mountain paus
until It disappears In the distance , only to
aeturn again by way of the main entrance
gate with a fresh load of passengers , Trains
of burroa will pass through tonn Bit regular
intervals , receiving and delivering freight
and doing luialncis on a realistic plane ,
Tills concession Is In the hands of Norrls
& Love , exports In the show business , who
have already taken steps to put their con *
tract Into active operation. Mr. Jx > ve con
ceived , built and mnroRcd the M9 mining
camp at the California Midwinter fair , which
was the meat popular attraction on the Mid *
way of that exposition , nd he gives every
assurance tfcot the Cripple Creek show will
bo far nhead of the California camp. The
arrangement of the ground and the erection
of the buildings for this town will be pushed
during the winter and everything will bo In
readiness when the exposition opens.
AMUSEMENTS.
"Sowing the Wind" was presented at the
Crclghton yesterday by ono of Frohman's
companlcH. The pleco Is too well known In
Omaha to require any comment. The feature -
turo ot the production last night was the
presence of Elizabeth Holloway In the char
acter of Rosamond. Miss Holloway Is n Ne
braska girl , having lived at Psapllllon msny
years. Hnr many fi lends from various portion
tion ! ) of the state crowdc.l the 1 ms ntiJ
contributed a number of floral offerings.
Colonel Cody and party were among the
friends ot the young woman. This Is Miss Hol
low ay's first appearance before a Nebraska
audience. She received very generous ap
plause and deserved all the pralso. The
plcio affords Miss Hollowoy an excellent op
portunity to display her unmistakable abil
ity as an emotional artist In the rob of
leading lady. She rises to the occasion hi
every Instance. Her friends were very
pleased last night. A number of other p'r-
sons of ability are with the company. The
costumes are elegant and the ) staging Is
accurate with the period rcprcsentsd.
Considerable Interest has been manifested
In ( he engagement of William H. Crane , the (
distinguished uctor , at tinHoyd theater on
Wednesday and Thursday. His present tour , j
which Is the first ho has made of the fa ?
west In nearly ten yearn , has been Im
mensely successful , and he has received un-
stlnte.il pralso for his own work and for the
fact that he has surrounded himself with
a company of such excellence as Is rarely
seen outside of New York. The sale of scats
for the oroienlatlon of "A Virginia Court
ship" \Vedticsdiy , ot "Ills Wife's Father" ,
on Thin sday afternoon , and of "A Keel ofi I
' /oitune. " which will be given en Thursday
night , begins this morning , and will un 1
doubtedly bo brisk. The .expectations me 1
that the house will bo crowded at the dif
ferent performances , and there Is no reason
why the expectatlcns should not be realize. . ! .
Robert Mantell'n new play , "A Secret War
rant. " will bo presented at the Crelghton
next Friday , Saturday and Sunday. It la a
French romance of 1720 , theorlnclpal ac-
tkn taking place st the cowl of the regent ,
Due d'Orleans. Mr. Mantell Is a captain of
the king's guards , handsome and daring , a
tjplcal Do Mauprat. Ot course ho is In
love , as all soldiers ot romance arc , but
his favorite Is the daughter ot a bourgeois ,
and the court beauties take exception. In
those davs It was rather dangerous to of
fend n king's mistress , and Louis dc
Beaumont lias his hands full to orctect his
lanceo ami keep himself out of the bastllo.
Phis , however , Is work which Mr. Mantell
enjoys. Ho has been piaylng adventurers
and Incfoyablcs for the past ten years , and
n his line rariks high.

TIIIMC SCOTT IS TOO AMIHTIOUS.
County CoiiiiiilHsloni'1'H May KlKlit Ills
Itc'voiit Order.
The county commissioners are considering
the advisability of flghtli.g a recent order
Issued by Judge Scott Instructing the clerk
of the , , district court to continue his practice
af Issuing certificates to witnesses and Jurors
In the district court at the cost ot the county
as ovldcnca of Indebtedness , which they may
discount to brokers and thus secure re
muneration for their services at on-o.
The practice of Issuing such certiorates
has been In vogue for years. When a Junior
or- witness completes hla perlod' service
ho Is given by the clerk ot the district court
a certificate which shows the number ot his
davs of service , and the amount that Is due
him. Upon ( iresentatlon of this certificate
to the county clerk when the claim Is al
lowed the amount due Is paid.
The clerk of the district court receives as
fees for Issuing each one of these certificates
25 cents. These fees amount to $ GOO and
$700 a year. The county commissioners have
como to the conclusion that tills is an un
necessary expense , slnco 'cney hold that the
certificate Is no evidence of Indebtedness
aga'ust the county. They say that the county
clerk finds the- amount thai Is due wltnes&ss
and Jurors from reports given by the clerk
of the district court and holds the certificate
worthless as against this report. Therefore
the board recently decided to discontinue the
practice , and Instructed the clerk of the dls-
trbt court to Issue no more such certificates.
Clerk Frank subsequently obtained the order
from Judge Scott to continue the Issuance
of the certlficatcfl. This order simply affirms
another Issued by Judge Scott some years
ago.
ago.Tho
The coitity commissioners consider that
Judge Scott Is taking upon himself the man
agement of a portion ot the county finances
In Issuing the order , and are therefore think
ing seriously of cpposlng It.

Anticipated Fees.
George Douglas , a colored porter In a
down-town saloon , was the Innocent cause
of a gcncril consternation In a Walnut Hill
street car yesterday afternoon. Ho boarded
the train at Twenty-fifth and Cumlng streets
about 3 o'clock to attend to his aftprnooan
duties down town. As' be had been up ex
ceedingly late on the night before , ho de
cided that It would bo practicable to jnlax
his limbs In a brief slumber In the end of
the cor. Conductor Hudson observed hlnv In
this condition and concluded from his up
turned eyes , and , as ho thought , ghastly ex
pression that the man was dead. Accord
ingly the passengers decamped and the ror-
oner was notified. When the train arrived
at a ccnvTnlent spot there were the cor
oner with his assistants and a couple of
policemen stationed to take the matter In
charge. The coroner's wagon was hacked
to the platform and an effort was made to
lift Douglas In. At this Juncture , however ,
the latter objected and complained that ho
was not receiving the treatment that hhould
bo accorded to an American citUon. Doug-
liis stated later that he was subject to slight
fainting attacks and Is undecided whether
his siesta was duo to that cause or simply
to nature's restorer. Ho was fully recovered
at all events and felt relieved at his escape.

This is nard work
,
mdst people think. But is it any harder for
a man than the old fashioned way of washing -
ing is for a woman ? And jet how many
women , apparently bright and intel-
J ] ligent , still persist in that clumsy ,
wearisome , expensive way of i
washing !
Why don't they get Pearline i
and save the hard work , the ruinous wear and tear , the
needless rubbing and wrenching ? Pearline can't hurt the
clothes. It's the most economical thing to wash with.
Why don't . they _ use it , like millions . of other women ? no

H Is estimated by County Commissioner
Klerstead that llio county will be required
to expend during ( he coming- winter In as
sisting dcMHuto families some $10,000 led ?
than last year , or only about one-half the
total amount that was so expended list win
ter ,
For the fiscal year ending June 31 last
It ccst the county $11,421 to run the county
horpltal , uhlch Is a purely charitable Instl-
tutl'n. and to render assistance by meacn
ot coal , shelter , food and clothing to the
destitute persons and families whcse cases
wcro called to the atletitloti ot the board.
Of this amount $20,820 was employed In
maintaining the hospital , and the remain
ing $20,601 was expended through the char
ity store. The biggest portion of Ibis lafer
sum wen expended during last winter.
This winter It Is expected that absut half
this sum will bo sufilclecit. This estimate IP
bssed on the fact that at the present time
not moro than half the number of applica
tions for ass'stance have been received as
at the simo period last year. The lessened
number Is not attributed to the mildness of
the weather , slnco Isst jcar al Ihls time wns
as pleasant as Hits year. The commissioners
ara therefore of the opinion thai Ihe same
proportion will continue during the remain
der ef the year.
The cause for the small number of nppll- '
cations fcr assistance Is bcMcved to bo due
to the greater amount of opportunity of em
ployment that has been offered this fall , O.i
account of this chance of work that Is being
given .the unemployed the commissioners will
bo considerably moro circumspect in doling
out assistance. The policy has almost bce'i
determined upon that no man who Is able
bodied , and no family which has such a man
as a member , will he given a particle ot as
sistance , because It Is believed that men of
tlut charac'er can secure work of some kind
If they really desire It.
NOT SO MANY EMPLOYES.
The expense of running the county store
during the coming winter Is also to be re
duced. The store will bo opened today. In
past years It has baen kept open all day on
every day except Sunday during the winter.
Fo'ir men have been cmplojed In connection
wl'h It Superintendent Askwlth and an as
sistant , who have retrained In the stoic all
the while , and two assistants who have been
engaged In looking up ccscs of destitution
In order that the county might not be worked
for aid by rnworthy applicants.
In view of the beMef that the calls will be
CPi"-ldc rjbly leas and also In the Interests
or economy , this system will be changed. Dur-
l'ig the coming winter the store will be open
only In the afternoons. The services of the
two liiEpectors will be dispensed with and
Superintendent Aakwith and his assistant
will work In that capacity during the mornIng -
Ing of each day. In this manner the cost of
the two Inspectors , $100 , will be saved at
least.
As has been stated In these columns al
ready , the commissioners will bo very care
ful in passing upon the applications for as
sistance made by nonresident paupcis. It Is
the Intention to entirely discountenance the
policy of outtdde points to ship their paupen
to this city for the winter. All such persont
will bo promptly sent back to the places frori
which they came.
