Matters bearing upon the educational dis
play to bo made by Nebraska schools at the
exposition formed almost the solo topic of
discussion at the regular Bcml-monthly meet
ing of the Nebraska Exposition commission
ftt the Mlllard hotel yesterday morning.
State Superintendent of Instruction W. R.
3ackson , who has been appointed by the
commission to superintend the collection and
Installing of the state exhibit Chancellor
( MacLoan of the University of Nebraska and
Lieutenant Governor Harris , president of the
Lincoln Normal school , appeared before the
commission , each on a different errand.
The lieutenant governor appeared to plead
the cause of the private schools of the state ,
ate said there are about forty of these schools
nnd a state exhibit with these schools left
out would not bo a representative exhibit
of Nebraska's educational resources. He
oald a largo percentage of the people
acquired their education In private schools ,
nnd the state should foster them as far as
may uo as they are a desirable addition to
the oJucatlonal facilities of the state. Ho
asked that In apportioning space to the
schools that the private schools bo given the
Knmo tirnnortlonato amount as the public
schools. , ,
As a result of the argument of the lieu-
toncat governor. Superintendent Jackson won
Instructed by the commission to Investigate
and report to the board at Its next meeting
the number of private schools In the state
which wish to make an exhibit nnd the
probable amount of space they would ask for.
Chairman Neville said ho wished It to be
distinctly understood that this Instruction
did not mean that theeo schools will be
clven space by the board , .but was simply
n preliminary move to determine what Is
expected In order that the commission may
net intelligently.
Chancellor MacLcan asked the comralfB on
to make some provision for the preparation
of the exhibit which will be made by the
university. Ho wld some portions of the
exhibit are now In the museum at the uni
versity , but require overhauling and clean-
Ing. Tnls It especially true of the forestry
exhibit. The bones of the "first residents
of Nebraska" huge animals of various
epcclcs require some repairs and fitting to
gether , and this work could bo done by the
advanced students it odd hours and at email
expense. The chancellor said there are
twcnty-ono departments la the university ,
nnd all should bo represented In the exhibit.
To do this would require the preparation of
mare and charts by some of them and the
purchase of cases In which to display the
specimens of all kinds. Ho estimated that
$500 would be required for the work which
5 necessary , end the purchase of cases and
other paraphernalia that will be needed.
Two members of the commission , Secre
tary Casper auid Commissioner Dutton , were
absent and the other members preferred to
defer final action lu this matter until a full
meeting , but on motion of Commissioner
lioydston an arr-'opriatlon of $250 was made
to enable the chancellor to start the work
of preparation.
Chancellor MacLcan thrn brought up n
matter which had been broached before-
thai of having the cadets of the university
at the exposition on the opening day. He
requested the commission to render any as
sistance to itfl power In securing a camplog
ground Inside the exposition grounds for the
cadets , and said ncrangements could bo made
to have the annual encampment of the cadets
flt Omaha Juue 2 , 3 and 4 , the dates required
by the rules of the university , and Juno 1 ,
the exposition opening day , could also be
Included. The chancellor also asked the com
mission to give consideration to the appli
cation of the cadets for positions as guards
or attendants durlag the exposition.

Judge William Neville of North Ptatte ,
vice president of the exposition for Nebraska ,
Is In his glory In the "beauty contest , "
which ho has Instituted among t&e handsome
women of Nebraska In order to secure the
picture of the two handsomest women In the
etato to form Nebraska's contribution to the
compcolto picture which Is to form the model
of the reverse side of the exposition souvenir
modal. T8ie judge says ho Is receiving pic
tures by the hundreds unl Is almply reveling
In beauty. The only thing that is causing
lilm any uneasiness is the fact that a largo
number of the handsomest pictures yet re
ceived are not profile views of the subjects ,
and cannot bo considered. Ho eays ho Is
afraid 'he will be limited In ills choice If the
women do not comply more strictly with the
rule requiring the picture to be a full profile
of the head' ' and shoulders.
Judge Neville announces that ho will ro-
cclvo pictures until February 1 , at which
time the lists will close and the prcceEa'of
picking out the two handsomest women In
the lot will commence. Asked If ho would
make the selection ! himself or call In others
to assist In the operation , tbo judge's face
awumed u wounded expression and ho an
swered In a most positive manner , "This Is
a most important matter and I shall take
upon m } self the responsibility of deciding the
question. This case la being tried without
a jury and I t'hlnk the question of fact In
volved cc bo passed upon by the court with
out the assistance of a jury. I shall make
my decision shortly after the evidence Is all
in my hands ami the decision will bo made
public In tbo newspapers of the state. "
Tiiero la a measure of satisfaction In utoro
for those women who may not bo chosen us
the representatives of Nebraska beauty.
Judge Neville- announces that ho will have
all the pictures handsomely framed and hung
in the rotunda of the Nebraska bulld'.og , to ;
that all comers may eeo for themselves the
counterfeit presentment of the thousands of
beautiful women In Nebraska. The judge
believes that this display will have a strong
effect on Immigration to Nebraska , especially
among the young men of tlnfj st , and that ,
as a result , the matrimonial market will ex
perience a wave of prosperity which -will
bring about thousands of desirable matrimonial
menial alliances. In the opinion of the hon
orable vlco president , this prospect should
arouse the patriotism of Nebraska women ,
especially those living In a state of single
blessedness , and result lu a still greater
number of pictures belng received.

The matter was laid before the executive

Department of Ways and Means , who first
withdrew the name of Thomas J. 1'ui.icll ,
which was presented several months ago , but
never noted upon , and then submitted Uic1
following written report , which was adopted !
Aften duly considering the flppllcatlon of
the various candidates for the position of
muslcnl director of the exposition , 1 de
sire to propose and recommend the name
of Mr. Wlllard KImball , director of the
School of Music of the university of Ne
braska ut I.lncoln. Mr. , Klmball's phe
nomenal success at Obcrlln , O. ; arlnncll ,
la , , and for the last three years tit Lin
coln , where ho has built up a school of 400
pupils , shows him to be a man of untiring
energy and perseverance qualifications
necessary to successfully carry on the
musical part of the > exposition. His studies
In Uoston and afterward at Leipzig , where
he was under the celebrated Carl llelnccke ,
Ktwo him a thorough musical education.
His references show him to bo not only

science of harmony and musical composi
tion , lie has successfully presented at dif
ferent times the great oratorios and under
stands the great orchestral writers and
their works. He Is highly recommended ns
a reliable business man.
Ho proposes to take full change of the
musicaliaffairs of the exposition , beginning
at once , for the sum of $2OCO , on the fol
lowing conditions : One thousand dollars to
bo guaranteed and salary to be paid
monthly , and the remaining $1,000 to bo paid
only on condition that the profits of musical
entertainments within the Auditorium un
der his direction reach J2.000. In case the
prollts exceed the sum of J2.0CO , he Is to
share equally with the exposition manage
ment In the net receipts above that amount.
The exposition will also employ a stenog
rapher .for . Mr. Klmbull , furnish him olllcc
room In Omaha , pay necessary traveling ex
penses when on exposition business , but
no living ) expenses while In Lincoln or
Omaha , Mr , Klmball's plan Is substantially
the .same us that presented In previous re
ports , i contemplating a high order of music
and In carrying It out he proposes to use
competent local musicians as far as pos
sible. |
Mr. KImball will iglve all the time neces
sary for the work of this bureau and will
bo subject at all times to the rules of the
exposition nnd to the Department of Ways
nnd Means , especially In the matter of the
expenditure of money , advertising , making
contracts , hiring bands , oichestrnl pei-
fornurs , cngapltig soloists and employes ,
arranging programs , etc.
In view of the if not that only n few
months shall elapse before the opening of
the exposition , 1 request that the execu
tive commutes take Immediate action upon
this report.
U. W. Richardson , special commissioner
for the Department of Promotion and Pub
licity , who has been In Missouri working up
Interest In the exposition , appeared before
the committee and reported on the result of
his labors In that state. He also notified the

developments in railroad matters , " ho con
tinued , "but the road la la excellent condi
tion. I nnd business seems to be very good.
I was pleased to see such evidences of pros
perity lo Utah as indicated by the crowds on
the streets today. It looks very encouraging
for the future of lie state.
"Como down to the Transmlsslsslppl Expo
sition , " the general manager continued , "and
you will bo able to get plenty of news. The
expcsitloo will bo only second to the World's

success.
"Yes , en Immense crowd Is expected , and
OB far as the Union Pacific Is concerned , It
will aim to take care of all the passengers
who may go to the exposition. "

position Is not merely a Nebraska coterprlse ,
but It was gotten up and Is being success

ment specialties and peddlers during the

Influx of these Industries , tlio fees are ma
terially Increased , as compared with these

ordinance covers all sorts 'of amusements
and It provides a system ot licenses that
will add materially to the revenues ot the
Board of Education during the year. While
the fees are In excess ot those provided for
In the old ordinance , they arc not exorbitant
as compared with those which have been
charged by other exposition cities. Tlio
council takes tlio position that It Is only
fair that people who como hero to take
advantage of the crowds that como to the
exposition should make some financial re
turn for the fire and police protection that
they will enjoy In common with those who
pay the taxes.
Under the new ordinance circuses and
menageries are graded according to their
size. The fco for circuses that occupy thirty
or morn cars In transit Is $300 for each
twenty-four hours ; twenty to twenty-nine
cars , $200 ; ten to nineteen cars , $150 , and
lese than ten cars. J50. The license charccs
for twenty-four hours for other attractions
are these : Sideshows , $25 ; refreshment
elands. $10 ; tight or slack rope perform
ances In the open , $10 ; concerts , $20 ; min
strel performances , $20.
The annual fee for each theater , or other
hall urcd for ipublle amusement Is $200.
Freak exhibitions must pay a fee of $5
a day or $25 a > wcok. The fco for variety
jjhows , sleight of hand performances , cycloramas -
mas , phonographs , klnetoscopcs nnd kind
red attractions Is $10 a day or $50 a week.
Living pictures , mysterious mazes and Illu
sions must pay $15 a day or $60 a week , and
"shoot the chutes" concerns are taxed $100
p. day. It Is provided that these , regulations
shall not apply 'to ' attractions Inside the expo
sition grounds , nor to entertainments given
by churches or cbarltablo organizations
which may bo licensed by special permit of
the mayor and council.
The peddlers' licenses have also bccomo
moro valuable on account of the exposition.
The license for wagon peddlers Is Increased
from $30 to $50 a year. The fee for the
first six months Is $20 and for the last six
months $30. The heaviest fee Is attached to
the last six months , as these Include the
best part of the season when outside parties
flock Into the city and go away late In the
fall. The push cart license Is raised from
$20 to $30 a year , of which $20 Is charged for
the last six months. Foot peddlers must
pay $15 a year , or $5 for the first six months
and $10 for the second.
A now feature Is added' ' In a special
provision for lunch wagons. These promise
to multiply during the next few months.
Ono enterprising Individual has a scheme for
a big von forty feet long to bo hauled by six
horses. This will contain a complete
restaurant on wheels and can bo hauled from
one place to another to accommodate the
trade. Lunch wagons drawn by horses must
pay a fee of $50 a year , being $20 for the
first six months and $30 for the second ,
push carts pay $25 a year and foot lunch

that the plumbing system of the building wis

: o the health of the community. The chief
of police explained that the building was
one of tile most disreputable houses of as

issurcd him that she would bo only too glad
to have the unsavory occupants removed to

At the request of aa Interested party Coun
cilman Bcchel has Introduced a new bicycle
ordinance which city officials who rldo wheels
consider about the most ridiculous piece of
eglslatlon on the subject that has yet been
sprung. The ccdlnancB provides that all bi
cycles , tandems , etc. , must carry lamps ex

Douglas. Hartley , Leavenwortb , Thirteen'/ ! ,
Fifteenth , Seventeenth , Nineteenth , Twenti

The apparent assumption of the ordinance
Is thai a wheelman 'will take off his lamp
and put It In. hs | pocket when ho reaches a
: ortaln stceet and then nut It on again when
.10 passes the limit. The ordinance exempts
all other vehicles except bicycles from its

As only thirteen men and six teams are
