'CONSIDERS DETAILS OF THE BUILDING Contract Cor IMntolerlnit Lot to a Lin coln Firm far a Lump Sinn r Uxhtblt 1'ro- vlilcit For. il The regular seml-mcnthly mcctlnB of the Nebraska Exposition commission was held ot the headquarters ot the commission In the Milliard hotel yesterday. A Inrgo amount ot routine business was transacted and the commission adjourned at noon to accompany Governor Holcomb to the exposition grounds to survey the grounds and note the progress which has been ma do on the Nebraska build- Ing. Ing.A A number of bids for doing the plaster and etalT work on the Nebraska building and for furnishing the statuary necessary for the embellishment of the structure wore opened , and discussed at length. It was finally de cided to defer action on the statuary bids un til the next meeting of the board and the bidet ot Klmball Ores , of Lincoln on the plaster and staff work was accepted. This firm of fered to do the plastnrlng Inside and outsldo ot the building and the staff work for the lump sum of J4.COO. The other bids were based on a price per yard In most Instances , the prlco running from 13 % cents to 27 cents per yard. Chairman Neville will draw the contract with Klmball Dros. and a repre sentative of the firm who was present agreed to commence plastering the Interior ot the building next -week. Superintendent Blake was Instructed to lay off all men employed by him until after the plastering la finished , when n force ot carpenters will bo engaged to finish the Interior of tlio building , it was the unani mous sentiment o the boird that no fur ther tlmo shpuld bo lost In completing the Nebraska building , but that the work should lie pushed as fast as the weather will permit and the superintendent was Instructed to Govern himself accordingly. It was announced that the ruhcrold roof ing material arrived this morning and Su perintendent I-ilnke was Instructed to proceed at once to put the material on the roof. The material can bo handled In cold weather by etorlng It In a warm room until required on the roof and doing the work as expcdl- tlously as possible. WILL IIAVn A FOUNTAIN. Superintendent Chapln ot Lincoln , In charge of the floriculture department for the Nebraska commission , suggested that a fountain bo placed In the center of the rotunda on the main floor of the building end that It be Installed while the plasterIng - Ing was being done , as considerable plaster ( would be required In this work. He pre sented several suggestions for a basin and n. symetrlcal design 12 feet In diameter was cclectcd. Mr. Chapln was Instructed to hove the work done , the total cost for the fountain being limited to $100. Mr. Chnpln said his Intention was to ask the Ne braska Pish commission for goldfish for the basin and to decorate It with aquatic plants. C. F. Catlln appeared before the board In the Interest of the plan suggested by him In a card appearing In The Bee , providing for the decoration of the rotunda of the Nebraska ( building with paintings and other works of ( irt 'by ' Nebraska artists. Sic Informed the Commission that ho had good reason to be lieve and was confident that the Art buildIng - Ing would bo closed to all except artists of national or world-AvIdo fame and ho re marked that many of the artists of Nebraska could scarcely come tn that category. For that reason ho urged that the board make provision for decorating the Interior of the rotunda , and possibly other portions of the Btato building , with these pictures , ceramics , etc. Ho suggested that the commission talght offer prizes and thus secure the best grades of work. To this latter suggestion the members of the commission demurred at once , saying that under the agreement with the exposition management no exhibits could be allowed In the state building , and , consequently , no prizes could bo offered. ' .Mr. Catlln was re quested to confer with the artists of the etato and submit a plan at the next meeting Ot the board for carrying out his suggestion. , PROVISION FOR UNIVERSITY. 1 'Chancellor MacLcaa wrote a long letter to > the comTnlsslon In which ho asked for an npproprlatlcn to enable the University of Ne braska to prepare , ship and Install Its ex hibit. Ho explained that the university could not make an exhibit unless some way flvaa provided for covering the expense of these Items , as Uio regents were hampered In the disposition of funds. Ho enumerated several Items of expense , among them be ing $200 for n attendant to care for the mxhlblt after Installation , $500 for the prepa ration of maps , charts , etc. , $250 for Instal lation o f tiio exhibits , $300 for transporta tion , and an unknown amount for janitor tervice. The board had already provided for the transportation , Installation und care of the university exhibit aud the secretary iwaa Instructed to notify tbo chancellor < o that effect. Regarding the Item of $500 for the preparation of in ops , charts , etc , , the chancellor will bo requeated to appear before the commission at Us next meeting and ex plain just what Is contemplated by this item. B. F. Stuffer of Bellevue \\as appointed nuperlntendent of the da'lry department. By order of the commission all superin tendents on regular salary will bo laid off at once and will not bo put on the pay roll again until their services are required In the active Work of the exposition. Chairman Neville notified the commlsson that lie had Informed tlio Dougkm County Vet erans' association that the commission had rrovided for a room for war relics In the Nebraska building , and the chairman ttild ho tad taken the liberty of saying that the com If- mission would also acccdo to a request of the association for desk room and desks for the Boldiors of both the north and the south In the building. The action of the chairman rtvas endorsed , DISOUEI3 Altai ! OF STAT03. At tup afternoon session a committee con- Istlng of E. J. Cornish nn4 II. E. Palmer Toprcscntlng the Hoard of Park Commis sioners , and Edward Hosewator , representing the oxccutlvo committee of the exposition appeared before the commission to present i euggcstlon regarding the Arch of States , the handeomo structure which is designed to bo the malt * entrance to the exposition. Gov ernor 'Holcomb was present and lintencd In teutly to thu discussion. iMonager Rosewater acted as spokesman tor the committee and Informed the No jbraska commissioners that the Arch of States cau been designed for a double purpose to form the main entrance to the exposition and to remain as a permanent decoration In Kountzo park aa a reminder of the beau tlcB of the exposition after that great show ehnll have become a thing of the past.

Mr , Hosewatcr said It would bo a most ledltaMo thln tir th6 stnto of Nebraska o build the foundation of this structure and ay the first courio of ntono and then say > the other Mates , "Nebraska has prepared ho foundation for this arch typifying the nlson of the states In the great transmls- Isfllppl region ; now come Tvlth your atone ind build upon this foundation a memorial iBt shall endure for goncratlons upon the Ito ot this great exposition ot our re- ourcrs. " E. J , Cornish followed "Mr. " Ilosewatcr and : atcd that the Hoard ot I'ark Commls- onrrs had agreed to expend (30,000 tn per- mncnt Improvements on this portion of 10 exposition grounds , but has not sufficient tinds to appropriate $18,000 for the con- ruction of this arch and do the many other ilngs that are necessary. Ho said , how- vcr , that the board would provide the Melds of the state which will bo required n the frlcza of the arch and furnish the rcn work , flag poles and other Items rc- ulrcd to complete the structure. COMMISSION NOT UI3ADY TO ACT. Mcmbsrs of the N'ebrtsKa commission asked umciotis questions regarding the probable iost of the work asked of them , but none of ho committee was prepared to answer this ucstlon. It ws stated that the bids for the tructuro complete wcro less than $18,000 , and is the building waa nearly ninety feet In iclfiht the cost of the foundation and first ouree could form hut a relatively small pro- > ortton of the cost , as the foundation could 10 made almost entirely of concrete. Tlio matter was dlscuracd Informally with- ut any member of the Nebraska commls- ilon expressing himself positively upon the ilea , and then the committee \VSB requested o sacure figures from the architect and sub- lit them for the consideration of the com- ilttilon at Its moating- December 28. Mr. Hosewater suggested that If Governor lolcomb would Issue on Invitation to the ; overnora of the transmlsslsslppl states , ask- ng them tn contribute ono course of ston ; jr' the arch from the mineral resources of lielr state , all the necessary material could e secured at llttlo or no coat. Governor Ilolcomb expressed himself In the trongest terms as being lu favor of doing nythlng reasonable to eccurc some perma- ent memorial of the coming exposition. He aid ho thought It would be a great shame o put all the money Into structures which vlll bo destroyed as soon as the exposition s ever nnd said ho was strongly In favor of reeling eomo building that would remain to emlnd future generations of the great ex- > osltlon. The governor said he would gladly FKUO an ofT'.dal Invitation to the governors f other states , as suggested , and would urge lie matter upon them. Ho suggested that lie exposition executive committee take ofll- lal action In the nutter upon which he might roceed. The special commlttco withdraw and ro- urned In a few moments to announce that ! io executive committee had passed a motion o request the governor to take official action n the mattor. The governor said he would take the mat er up at once and It was thought some re- Hen might bo secured by the next mooting f the Nebraska commission. JnliiH the 1'i'ocrsMoii.

She has read much of in the papers and believes it will be c. ; reatcr success than any other since the 'orld's fair. She said : "I think It can do ittch , very much for the advancement of niiwlc in all this part of the country. Why hat a field is here for the organization of ionises that can bo brought together for rand musical festivals as often as desirable. ou know I eang at the Maine Festival two nouths tiRO. These ore conducted by Mr liapmati of New York. He has choruses In great many towns around Portland , and a ocal conductor in each town does the drilling > r his own chorus. Mr. Chapman selects 10 numbers for the programs and assigns icm , so when all the choruses are brought ogethcr every one knows Just what he Is to o. and there is tie confusion. These fes- vals arc simply wonderful ; they make the hole country alive with music and Interest verybody in It. I can think of nothing else : at would bo such an advantage to the ex- osltlon as such a musical festival , or rather number of them. Of course you would iced an orchestra and soloists , but they cau o had.
