With .tie progress that Is being made In
( ho erection of the buildings for the exposi
tion the question of nro protection and In-
eunnco Is becoming an important factor. A
flro which would destroy or partially con-
anrao these buildings would bo fatal to the
ctpcsltlon , as the llmo within which the
Eles must open would be too short to re
construct idem. In order to obviate this dan-
Kcr as much GB possible every precaution Is
being observed on the grounds In the use
of fires , etc. , and a fire company with a
chemical engine has been Installed In the
main court. Small fire extinguishers arc
placed In the buildings and the workmen
have been Instructed In their use. Other
plans are under consideration nnd will bo
I > ul In operation ns fast ns possible.
These matters have been nrrnnged by n
special committee appointed by the executive
committee nt the suggestion of Manager
Ktrkcndall of the Department of Buildings
And Grounds. 1'hls committee consists of
Insurance Inspector Christian Hartman ,
Chief John Rcdcll of the Omaha flro depart
ment nnd Jcha H. Butler , city building
Inspector. In addition to whnt has already
been done In the way of providing flro pro-
tttllon thl" committee h-as recommended still
further stein to Manager Klrkcndall and
thcso will bo laid before the executive com
mittee at an early day.
"It Is absolutely necessary that the cx-
pooKlon have water connection that will
afford flro protection , " said 'Mr. ' Hartman ! o
speaking of the work of the committee. "Tae
irurfna are In the ground unil the hydrants
are ready to make connections , but there
li'no water and It would be utterly useless
to scud * a hose company to the grounds In
case of fire. There Is no hydrant near
enough to the grounds to glvo any pressure
If connection should be made with It. If
water Is secured cod the plans laid out by
the special committee arc carried out , the
exposition grounds will fiavo first class flre
protectlcti and bo provided with the best
facilities for preventing fires known to mod
ern times. Theye plans contemplate a com-
plcto system of flto paCrol and a police and
fire alarm system covering the grounds In
such n way that every foot of ground and
building will bo under constant susvcllluucc.
The mcdt necessary thing at this time , how
ever , In that connection be made with the
mains co the ground vo as to afford sufficient
pressure to give flre protection. "
INSUH'ANOB ON BUILDINGS.
Ilrgaidlng the Insurance question , Mr.
Hartman said that 'the several contractors
arc require , ! by their contracts to carry In-
su'at'ce to Indemnify the exposition man
agement In case of the burning of any of
the buildings. The aim Is to have a suffi
cient amount of insurance to cover the
imounts paid the contractors on account
of their contracts. Upon the acceptance of
the buildings the exposition will place In
surance on each to cover 80 per cent ot the
cost ot the building. These ipollcles will bo
continued In force until the close of the
exposition and 'the disposal of the buildings.
Racti cxlilbltor will be required to carry his
own Inrurance.
'Mr. ' Hartman stated that the form of
policy adopted for the use of the exposition
and for exhibitors is the same as that used
by thu World's fair and at 'tho expositions
In Atlanta , San Francisco and1 Nashv.llle.
The n.cthod of Insuring'will be that used by
th& management of the World's fair. Mr.
Hirtnian" said this 'form was arranged by
the best Insurance men In the country and
was based on the experience gained In that
enterprise , hence no bettor model could bt
found anywhere.
CITi' OFFICIALS COUNSEL.
City Engineer 'Icosowater. ' Flro jChlet
Iledcll , City Attorney Council and Councilmen -
men Burmester , Stunt and Lobeck spent the
greater part of yesterday afternoon In a
thorough Investigation of the water works
question a. ) connected with the exposition.
President Wattles and W.N. . Ba-bcock , who
were delegated to represent the Exposition
association , could not bs present on account
of another engagement , but President
WattlLS stateJ his views to the oity officials
during the forenoon and ( Manager Klrken-
dalt of the Department ot Buildings and
Grounds came In for a rihort time. The .only
thing the exposition people had to say was
that they wanted water and they wanted It
iiadly. They practically declared that they
must have water In order to run the exposi
tion , and that they could not get It them
selves. They then urbanely dumped the re
sponsibility on to the city officials , and In
timated that It rested entirely with theni
whether the exposition should go grandly
forward or come to an Ignominious end , allen
on account ot their Inability to secure a
water supply.
Left to themselves the officials present set
to work to seek away out of the diffi
culty. They drafted > plaais and made calcula
tions and then talked some more , and In
variably came around 'to ' one proposition.
That was 'that If the council refused to grant
the extension of the limit ot purchase , as Is
dcmnndol by the Omaha Water company , It
would cost , not less than $50,000to supply
water for tlio exposition.
Two propositions were considered. One
v/na to compel the water company to put In
hydrants nnd pay for nil the water consumed
at meter rates. If this was done. It was
figured that fifty hydrants would .be re-

of $3,000 ft year for ten years. Then the

COST OP STUIIT'S PLAN.
Tlio proposition to supply -the water from
Cut-Off lake and the Missouri river was con
sidered nt length and the calculations shoncd
that the cost ot the plant would toe about
jSj.OiW 'In round numbers. The plan con
templated a pumping capacity ot 600,000
gallons per day < at Cut-Off lake and a capacity
of 2,000,000 gallons a day at the grounds.
The rest of the machinery was figured out a *
follows :

The cost of operation1 during the expos-l
it I on was figured at $7,300. This plomt would
furnlch water for flro protection , the lagoon

John C. Bonncll , advertising agent for the
Hock Island railroad , called at exposition
headquarters with C. n. Rutherford , general
agent ot that road at Omaha , for the pur-l
pose of makfng arrangements for space In
the Agricultural hulldlnfj for an exhibit
showing .tho . resources. In nn agricultural
way. ot the territory along the Hues of the
Hock Island.
Mr. Bonnell wanted 8,000 feet ot space pet
apart for the display to be made by his road
and ho was somewhat taken back when ho
was informed by Superintendent Hardt tlmt
\l \ would be Impossible to grant that much
space to any exhibitor Inside the main
buildings. Mr. Hnrdt said that the greater
part of the space In all the buildings had
already been applied for , and the best that
could bo done would bo to set npart a space
30x100 foot either on the main floor or In
the gallery ot the Agriculture building.
The Unck Island representative was doubt
ful If his read could make such an exhibit as
It desired In this small space , less than
halt the amount aptillca for , anil Mr. Hardt
suggested that the only nltcrtMtlve- would
be for the railway company to erect a buildIng -
Ing ot Its own on the- grounds find Install Its
exhibit therein. Mr. Bonnell agreed to take
'this suggestion under consideration and re
quested that the 3,000 feet offered by the
department be- reserved for a few days until
he could consult with the management of the
road. He then started for Chicago to consult
the officers of the Ilock Island , promising to
return In a few days and make known
v > 'aetber the road would Install Its exhibit In
the Agriculture building or erect a building
of Its own on the growids.

SouvenlrM lu Silk.
It is more than probable that among the
exhibits In the Manufactures building wll
bo a number of ellk looms in full operation
weaving book marks. Judging from sample
ot the work of these machines nnd the do
scrlptlon nccompanylng them , these book
marks will bo souvenirs of the most Interest
Ing kind. They will bo about two Inches in
width and about elx InclicB long , and each
will contain a picture ot one ot the main exposition
position buildings. These pictures will be
woven In the silk and the work IP done by
these machines with all the skill of an artls
making n sketch In colors. They are work
of art and will form most desirable memen

This condition of affairs has been In exist

WASHINGTON , Dec. 24. The Interstate
Commerce commission has Issued a circular
to the rallrcads ( promulgating .the or Jer ex
tending for two years the Urne In which the
railroads sha'.l equip their cars and engines
with automatic couplers and driving brake
as required by the act of March 2 , 1893. The
news of the order was contained in the As
soclated Press dispatches some weeks ago.
The commission , in 'Its order , reviews the
testimony given at 'the hearing acccrded the
railroad and labor representatives. The or
guments advanced are .not discussed. Th
commission , however , suys :
"Some misunderstanding and confusion ap
pears to have arisen in respect as to whn
carriers are subject to the provisions of thl
act. Some appear to understand that thel
amenability to this law Is dependent upon
their ibeln.g . subject to the act to regulate
commerce. It will 'bo seen by reference to
the first section ot the act In regard to safety
appliances that It applies to any common
carrier engaged In interstate commerce by
railroad. Whatever ground may exist fo
question as to particular carriers being subJect
Joct to the act to regulate commerce , It wll
be seen that 'their amenability to the ac
under consideration In no iway depends upon
the former. They are subject to this statute
If they are engaged In Interstate commerc
by railroad. "
In granting the order of extension the
commission says :
"It Is believed upon consideration of facts
stated that sufficient cause exists for exten
slon of the period referred to 'In conformity
with section 7 of the act , and that the ex
tension should bo uniform to all the petition
ers. It Is also believed that an extension o
two years Is adequate. This will , of course
irake It more difficult for some than other
to get ready their equipment 'within tha
time , but there Is no hardsh'lp ' In this lor th
reason that the former'havo ' not done all they
might have done In the past , and as before
Indicated It Is ( Jimcult to see how extension
of the perlcd can 'bo made In eome cases am
not In others , or for ono period In some
cases and a different period In others , - without
out practically punishing those who have
been the most -diligent , and putting a pro
mlum on the delinquencies of those who have
been most tardy.
"It Is not to J > e understood ( by nnythlng
in > tt > o order herein made that the commlssloi
undertakes to relieve carriers of their duty
under section 1 to so nrrange nnd plnco can
equipped with train brakes that the speed o
the train will tie controlled by use of tha
appliance whenever possible. "

who have held no less generous notion on

vould co-opcrato In any relief measures , and
there wss entire wllllnpncsa that the sup-
illes go direct to Consul General LEO Instead
of through the Spanish relief Bourcca.
The negotiations have been proceeding for
some time. The first active step In this ill
rectlcn was taken 'by the president on De
cember 1 and was In the form ot a request
that the minister leam from his government
whether the regular tariff duties would be
remitted on relief supplies sent to Cuba.
Minister * do Lome BOOI afterward said Spain
had consented to grant even more than had
beoi ) requested , and the duties would be re
mitted -not only on the .irtlcles which tht
president had referred to but on medicines ,
soap , salt and similar articles of prime neces
sity which might enter Into the plan of re
lief. The only condition attached was that
the supplies should go through the regular
relief committees established at Havana , of
which the bishop ot Havana Is tha chair
man. It was arrtoged also that supplies sent
to the Spanish mlnlstcrhcre would bo for-
wardeS to the' authorities at Havana.
Since then there have been criticisms of
the sjstem adopted and reports have come

the Boston & Albany railroad , was In
stantly killed In the freight yards here to-

the tracks toward the office , with his coat
collar turned up to protect himself from
the severe wind , when he was struck by u
switch engine or a yard engine. He was
horribly bruised and mangled and It was
with some dlfflcuHy t'nat his features oould
l e recognized. The body had remained un
noticed for over an hour before found by
two trainmen.
Mr. Newell was born In Great Barrlmsitoti ,

NEW YOUK , Dec. 24. Followers of cycle
racing believe that Jimmy Michael -who has
hitherto been well .night InvlncIKe , will ride
one of the hardest contests of his life to
morrow night at Madison Square garden ,
where he Is scheduled to meet Arthur A.
Chase , England's middle distance champion ,
In a thirty-mile event. Chase has trained
conscientiously and is naturally nn easy
rider , covering distances which make Mich-
aelg friends fearful.
Chase , when he Urst saw the track today ,
declined to ride , claiming the banking -was
too steep , but he was later persuaded to
reconsider the matter , and nftex heeling
several laps at u hot gait was well satis
lied with the course. Michael ale tried the
course during the day. Both men have ex
ercised great care In selecting pace makers.
Eduord Taylorc , the French champion ,
who will race Michael Ne"v Year's night ,
Is one of those who think Chase will win
tomorrow night.

AMUSEMENTS.
Today nnd Sunday the entertainment pro
vided nt the Crclghlou theater will be In
the nature of high-class vnunovllle , a com
pany of the best specially performers In Chi
cago1 having been organized by Colonel Hop
kins , the vaudeville Impressarlo of that city ,
especially for this engagement. Most of the
members of the company arc well and favorably -
ably known In Omaha , and would unquestion
ably bo attractive features In any presenta
tion of high class vaudeville. Others less fa-
mtllar , but equally meritorious , are certain
to establish themselves firmly In the favor
of local amusement seekers.
Mary Norman , who heads Iho list , would
cad almost any company In which she mlg t
find hcreelf. Her "turn" Is a monologue ,
which Is variously described by the beat Chicago
cage critics as "bright nnd artistic , " "de
lightful , " "original and finished , " "unique ,
graceful and delicate. " "wonderfully versa
tile , " "genuinely refined" and the like.
'Slgnor Liberal ! , the corncllst , has a world
wide fame us a master of his Instrument.
John Gilbert te pleasantly remembered In
Omaha for his clever nnd amusing work In
"Slnbad , " "All Unbn" nnd others ot the
Henderson spectacles. Fnnnfo Hloodgood Is
a pcoular soubrette. The little curtain raiser ,
"Edlthr.'s llurglar , " has alwayo been liked
licre , nnd Is said to bo acceptably presented
by Cooper and Woodthorpe , assisted by little
Emily Cooper. Octavlo , the wire-walker , the
Sankoy brothers , ncrobats , and Keating anil
Godwin , In blackfaco comedy , complete a
company which for variety and excellence Is
seldom surpassed on the vaudeville stage.
A bpechl holiday matinee will bo given
today and the performance will be repeated
tonight and twice ( mntlneu and evening ) to
morrow.
"At Piney nidge. " Davll HlRglns1 inter-
caMng romance , is descrlbeil as a piny of
Intense Idealism , a powerful drama of life
In the sunny south , based on fact , natural
and real , and of realism that Is simple and
great In Its simplicity. It claims to be a
picture of life In eastern Tennessee , of Its
granite 'hills ' and beautiful valleys , and of
the honest , rugged nature of Its people.
Some critics have termed "At Plney Hldge"
a dramatic germ , so clearly cut and so beau-
tlfrlly delicate arc its Interpretations. The
story U a simple and familiar ono and fairly
Independent of stage device and melodra
matic features. Its merit and strength will
be found In the artistic treatment given Its
characters. It Is full of human Interest and
careful delineations will strike a popular
chord. It will appeal to all classes of thea-
ter-gcera with Its sunshine , pathos and
( humor. "At Plney Bilge" will have Its first
presentation In 'this city at the Crelghton
Monday , December 27. Its enactment will be
In the hands of the cast who created the
various characters and who ably assisted In
making Its long stay at the American The
ater , "Sow York , last winter , a noteworthy
dramatic event.
The seat sale for the forthcoming Illus
trated lecture of the Klondike traveler and
newspaper correspondent , Ogclen Bennett , at
Boyd's ( Monday night , Is now progressing.
The interest in the Klondike Is augmented
by the personal story of the man who has
"been tfcere , " and the beautiful LaKochc
pictures form an Investiture not easily dupli
cate. ! . It Is a foregone conclusion that the
theater will contain a large audience cf In
terested people and proposed visitors to the
land of cold.

purity of the blood , the tissues of the body
are imperfectly nourished , and emacia

forininsr a suittiblc soil for the germs of that
deadly disease. One-seventh of nil the
deaths each year arc due to consumption.
This fearful death rate could be easily
avoided if the proper remedy was re

A sure preventive and cure of consump

cases. It corrects all disorders of digestion ,
invigorates the liver , and makes the Wood
pure and plentiful. It is the threat blood-

It gets into the blood and acts directly upon
the lungs , building up healthy tissue and
driving out all impurities and disease germs.
Thousands have testified to its wonderful
merits. Druggists sell it.
