northern part of the city. In the heart of one
of the principal residence district } of Omaha
Thu main tntiancc Is two and oni'-elghtb

a perfect level there beltv ? Just sufficient
variation In tliu levels to Insure good drainage -
ago and pkasiiu landscape effects They are
divided Into three sections , tuch section be
ing de\oted to a rtlntlnctUc purpose. These
BcUions nave been designated us the Main
lourt , the tlliilT tract and tbo North tract
In a general .vay the purpose to which each
Is devoted may bo summarized as follows
In the Main colut will bo the main exhibit
buildings on the IllufT tract will be the
state buildings -ind other exhibit buildings
of secondary luipottanco from an arcbltcc
tural stanlpnlnt , and on the North tract will
1m the IrilM'lo" ' apiculture tunsportntlon
anil other exnlblts which roqulic wrgc
amounts of space.
To return to the plctu'e , the first thing
that altr pts the eye Is the Main court. This
apples In the picture to the left of the
middle fort grot. ml and la exactly one-half
mlle In Ipngth , the long axis running dlrectlj
east and wi-U. On this portion of the
ground H concentrated the main architec
tural effect , and the grouping of the buildings
and the general ensemble of the whole court
Is tliu result of careful study on the part
of the arrhltccts The central feature of this
court Is the lagoon or canal , a basin of clcir
watei 150 feet In width at the end nearest
the spectator and broadening Into n wide
pool , known as the Mliror at the farther
end Arranged along the banks of this bodj
of water and reflected from Its crystal sur
face uro o\er one mile of buildings The
perspective Is enhanced by the lisa ot cov-
pmi ! Rolnntiadcs between the buildings , creat
Ing the effect of Immense distance In looking
down the lagoon , and , at the same time , af
fording a covered passageway entirely around
the main court.
NEAREST OF TUB I1UILDINGS.
The large building on the Main court
which Is nearest the spectator Is the Manu
factures building. Owing to the position
of the spectator ho Is unable to see the verj
handhome main farnde of this building , but
ho may Judge of Its beauty by looking at
Its twin directly opposite across the lagoon
the Machinery and Electricity building
TbchO buildings nro the same size and both
wore designed by Chicago architects , the
Manufactuies by S. S. Ileman and the Ma
chlnery mid Electricity by Dwlght II. Per
kins They are much the same In exterior
decoration except that the central mass of
the Machinery and electricity Is square In
Bhapo , while that of the Manufactures build
Ing Is circular ilJoth have covered colon
nadea extending along the front of the bulld-
Ilio building between the spectator and
the Manufactures building In the Main
court appeirlng rather small by compari
son as it nestles smugly In tbe corner of
the ground Just Inside the high fence which
shuts out the ga/e of the outside world , I.
the Auditorium In the corresponding cor
ner ot the Main court to the right , with
' flag * and banners ( lying from every point. Is
the Girls' and llojs' building , where the
Httlo folks arc to bo amused and enter

portions of 'the ' exposition and where the
mothers and other * Interested In such mat
ters may examine the latest Impiovements
In tbo care ot children , nursery fuinldhlngs
etc.
etc.On the side of the lagoon nearest the
upoctator , Just be > end the Manufacture *
building. Is the Liberal Aits building and
opposite It Is the Mine * , and Mining build
Ing Thi' former was designed b > FLjher S.
I.awrle of Onnha and the latler by John
J Humphrexs of Denver
Just be ) end the Liberal Arts building is
the main entrance to the exposition grounds
This entrance Is an nrch of stone ninety
feet In height , spinning the Twenthth
street boulevard , 100 feet In width The
distinguishing feature of this arch Is the
Herlca of superimpose * ! arches forming the
frieze , rac'i arch containing In Its recess
the coat of arms. In colors of ono ot the
transmlsstesippl t tales These coats or
arms give to the arch Its name , the Arch
of States Arranged at either side of this
arch In seml-clicular form are the ticket
window" wheio the liurrjlng ciowd nn > lie
supplied w Ith the credentials necessary to
admit thorn to the ginumls
ADMINISTHATJON HEADQUARTERS.
Directly opposite tun Arch of States Is
the Administration arch , also spinning the-
Twentieth street 'boulevard ' and serving the
double purpo'o ot an entrance onto the
plaza extending to the north tract us well as a
building for the reception ot dlvtlnsulshed
guests. IJoth of these arches vvero designed
by walker & Kimuaii , arcnite cts-in-cnier ot
the exposition.
Iie > end the Arch ot States on the south
nlde of the lagoon , Is the Art 'building , a
beautiful structure designed by Camefl &
Young of St Louis Tills building Is In
two sections or wings , connected by an
open court , vslth colonnades extending along
th front nnd rear of the court which gUo
the ovterlor the appearance of being one
building
Opposite this building Is .the Agricultural
oulldlng , which Is tlu < same size as Iho
Mines building and designed along similar
lines by Casi Gilbert of St Paul , Minn
Hxtendlng across the farther end of the
Main court , facing the east , Is the
Government building , the huge Btrucluic
iwhkh IB being erected by the federal gov
ernment for the housing of the exhibits
nhowIng the "functions and administrative
faculties" of the several departments of the
government The statue surmounting the
dome of this building will lie 175 feet from
the ground nnd v.Ill ho the highest point
on the e.\Hwltlon | grounds.
In the fori'golim of the picture la the
II lu If 'tract ' , so-called because It lies at the
edge of a steep bluff overlooking tao
ibroad valley of the Missouri commanding a
vliw of the winding river for miles up or
down. ThU bluff disappears In the picture
for the reason that the spectator Is dl-
rwtly above It looking downward and the
difference In elevation of the walks shown
In the fore-ground and the railroad train
Been approaching cannot be shown. As a
matter of fact the 'walks referred to are
seventy-live feet above the level of the
railroad track where the train appears.

Whether tbo buildings on the exposition
grounds will be ready for occupancy In
time to open the gates of the great show
at the time fixed , June 1 , 1S9S , now seems
answered. The bu'ldlngs on the main court ,
In which t < it > greater ( > irt ot the exhibits
nro to be Installed , are all under way and
the rapldlt ) with which they have been
pushed along to their present state ot com
pletion leaves no room for doubt on this
very serious matter. These buildings are
all designed along very elaborate lines and
require very much more work In their erec
tion th'in the buildings which will be erected
on the older portions < of the exposition
grounds. The facility with which the prin
cipal buildings are being erected makes It
certain that the minor buildings will bo
completed In ample time ,
The present condition of the various
buildings In the main court maj be brlclly
summarized as follows : I
The Administration irch , the tall and nar
row building forming the center of the north
sldo of tbo main court. Is practically com
pleted. Only the finishing touches remain
to bo put on In the way of painting the In
terior woodwork and touching up the outer
1 walls at n few points
j The Manufacturers building Is rapidly nearIng -
Ing completion The carpenters have fln-
! Ished covering the roof with "sheeting" and
are covering the skllghls with the trans
lucent fabric which Is to serve Instead of
glass. Thu windows and doors are being
put in place and Hie building will be com-
plclcly cnclosedi within a very few dajs
The slnft contractors have neirlj finished
their work on this building a few finishing
touches about the cornice and one or two
of the pavilions , the plastering ot the In
terior of the clear storj und finishing the
plastering at the lower part of the outside
walls being all that remains to be done
Tbo Mines building Is Hie next In order
and here the roof his been put on the sk > -
light covering being nearlj till In place. Tno
outer walls , with the exception of the cor
ner pavilions , are ready for the staff men
und these have commenced putting up their
staging for hanging the staff A consider
able portion of the outside of the building
has been covered with lath , ready for the
plasterers and the ornamental staff work
is nearly all cast and ready to be put In
place. i
The outer walls of the Machine ? ) and
Electricity building arc about read ) for the
staff men The roof trusses are being raised
Into position , the contractor on this building
having coirpleted the walls before com
mencing on the roof The staff for this
building Is being east by the staff workers
end a large part ot It has becti finished and
Is ready to bo put on the building
Remarkable progress Is being made on the
Agriculture building , and If It continues a'
the same rate it will be one of the first of
tbo big buildings to bo completed The side
walls are all erected and much of the sheetIng -
Ing on them has been put on , and the staff
workers could start on the- building at any
time. The roof trusses arc being raised as
fast as machinery can do It , and this build
ing will bo under cover within a very short
time. Much of the staff work for this buildIng -
Ing has been cast and Is ready to be put on
the building
The Liberal Arts building has reached an
Intermediate stage. The side walls are
erected and the roof trusses are being framed1
preparatory to rals'ng. The side walls are
being sheeted and the building will be read )
tor the staff workers within the next ten
eMys
The Art building has been dcMed by fail
ure to receive the lumber at the tlmo it was
promised The piles for the foundation are
all driven , and nearly all of them have been
rut off to the proper height , ready for the
sills of the building. The lumber Is being
delivered on the ground and actUe work cti
the building will be commenced at once The
building Is not as largo as some of the
others and will not require so much time In
Its construction , but there Is little doubt but
that it will be finished by March 1.
The Government building Is Just getting
under headway. The piles are be < ig driven
and the heavy timbers for tbo sills are being
framed. Contractor Moore says ho Intends
to push the construction with all the men hu
can put on the work , and will have the build
ing completed en time.
The Auditorium Is miking good headway
The side walls are up and the floor Is being
laid Contractor Credon Is crowd'ng the
work at a rapid rate , and there Is little doubt
about the building being completed on time

The question of the right of the state to
irlng cult In Douglas county against the
jondsmen of Jp ° cph S. Hartley , ex-state
rcasurcr , Is occupjlng the attention of Judge
Dickinson , argument upon this point having
been going on since early yesterday morning
Suit WIIB brought against the L'urtley
) ondamen for the recovery of the $300,000 al-
eged to have been converted by the ex-state
reasurer. The petition was died In this
county. hereupon the bondsmen , by their
.UornejH , contended that the courts of this
udlclul district had no jurisdiction In the
ircmlses. In the arguments today the attor-
ios for the defendants Insisted that the
eat of tate government being ut Lincoln
hat action should hive been brought In Lan
caster Instead of In this county.
Attorneys for tl.o state hold that tbo banks
n this city were designated as depositories
or state money aud that money deposited
n such banks was wrongfully converted ,
which makes the action agilmt the bomlsmno

"Omaha will have ouo of the finest post-
office buildings In the cptmtry when It Is
completed and ouo of which the people may
well bo oroud , " sas Colonel Ed Roberts of
Mar-land , ono of the four traveling Inspect
ors of the government's public buildings.
Mr. Roberts Is hero under instructions from
Washington to Intycct the work that lias been
done and also to rt < > ort on the progress thai
has been made. Ho was hero once before ,
about two ) ears ago , when the building was
under construcllon. Since lhat time the work
has been examined by other Inspectors.
The Inspectoi was taken tluough a goodly
portion ot ihe building jestcrday by Su
perintendent La tenser. Particular attention
was given to the lirst floor , which Is to bo
occupied by the postofllce department about
the first of the year After an examination
ot this oart ot the building Inspector Roberts
declared that It was all ready for occupancy ,
with the exctytlou of some small details , and
ho saw no reason why the removal could not
take place In the near fulure.
Regarding the cmtire building , tfca Inspector
specter &ald that the work was In every
way satisfactory and up to the specifications.
Ho was apparent ! ) well pleabed with the
Interior construction , remarking favorably of
the way In which the work had been done
Inspector Roberts also sala that the build
ing was being completed as rapidly as could
bo expected.
"People alwas feel that the work on
government buildings Is delayed , " he said.
"They do not stop to consider tint nuch
work is neccssaiily slow. In olhcr buildings
the material is picked up on the spot. On
government buildings , on the other hand ,
the govenimeivt seeks to get the very beat
material , as the buildings are cxpcctod to
last forever. Some of the material Is
brought from foreign countries Then
again , the appropriations for Uio different
parts of the building are not made In a
minute Finally , thu work must be done
cirofullly to be accepted Here the weather
delas. Tor instance , during a cold snap
like this , the contiattors would not dare
to plaster or varnish any porlion of the
building Yet such work would bo done. In
other Hlniotnitti "
It Is bellPved that ono of the objects for
which the Inspector was sent to this city
was lo learn whelher or not the first floor
of the building would 'bo ' ready for occu
pancy by the flrot of the year end whether
the entire strucluro would bo completed bo-
fore the opening of the exposition Im pec-
tor Roberts would not say , however , that
such was lite mission Ho eald that It would
be for the Waehfmglon authorities to con
clude from his reports and those ot the su
perintendent when the building would bo
ready for occupancy
Inspector Roberts came here from Lincoln ,
where ho Inspected the now driveway that
Is being built at the postodlcc building there
Ho fiald Ibat work was being done Bat'flfac-
tonly Prom hero ho goes to Des Molncs.
He will probably remain In thUj city until
Monday He Is a flno specimen of a man ,
being several Inches above six feet In height ,
and Is a typical southerner.
Postmaster Martin has as } ct received no
Intimation from Washington that any steps
vvero being taken to hive the furniture for
the postolllco quarters In the now- building
put In IIU communication on the matter
of a couple of weeks ago has not resulted In
any response and ho proposes to write to the
authorities again.
The temporary heating plant In the now
p03tofllco building will bo started this after
noon , Superintendent IxUenser sas. It waste
to have been staitetl several days ago , but
the work was delayed , It Is ncccssiry to
heat the building to prevent the woodwork
and the Interior finishing from warping.
