NEW MEXICO COMMISSION

DELEGATION TO LOOK OVER THE GROUNDS
Ilrmlfnnl Prince Tnlfca Atinnt Iic

Ex-Governor U Bradford Prince of Santa
Pe , N. M. , vlco president of the exposition
for that Btato and a member of the New
Mexico Uxponltlon commission , arrived in
the city yesterday as the advance guard
of n committee delegated to come to Omaha
and make arrangements for space for an ex
hibit of the resources of that territory. The
other two members of the committee , Major
W. It. Llewellyn and J. J. Lccson , are ex
pected to arrive some tlmo today.
Governor I'rlnco la a most enthusiastic
supporter of the exposition and says ho
hopes to have his section represented dn a
manner commensurate with Its resources
"Wo regard this exposition the opportunity
of a lifetime for our territory , " said ho In
courno of a ccnvtraatlon : "It la to be
licld In the very heart of the section of coun
try from which the great bulk of our popu
lation te drawn and wo believe wo can dc-
rlvo more benefit from participation In this
exposition than from any exposition that has
been held In the country. Our legislature
made but a small appropriation , only $1,300
and TVO will endeavor to supplement this by
private contributions , to enable a good showIng -
Ing to bo made.
"We will make a good showing on agri
cultural products and will probably surprise
sumo people who have not looked Into our
resources. At Chicago wo took the first prlzo
in competition with the world on wheat and
wcro awarded the prize for the best oats In
competition with all sections In America.
Horticulture Is our strongest point , however.
Wo nalso all the temperate zone fruits , from
apricots and pluma to winter arolcs. Wo
will aldo m.iko a fine showing on sugar
bcclB. I reallzo that Nebraska Is a suuir-
proilucliiB state , but when I say that our
bcetn grave very high I nm prepared to
jwoduco the proofs. On account of the dry-
netfl of our climate and rtio amount of sun-
Bhlno our beets grodo 22 per cent , which Is
a very high percentage.
"In minerals wo will make a line showing
with the tpcclmens from our turquoise mines ,
the only ones In the United States , and the
finest mines In the world , Wo will also show
gold , silver , copper and lead and other com
mercial ores. "

The Government building on the Exposition
grounds Is making rapid progress and lian
now reached a point where some Idea , may
ibo gained of the size of the structure. En
gineer J. J. Farnnn of the engineer corps
of the Treasury' deportment Is in. charge of
the work land Is pushing the construction
with all "possible speed , AO many men are
now at work on the building aa can be cm
< ploycd to advantage and the construction is
advancing at all points. The Iron columns
which are to support the dome and all of
Its appurtenances have arrived on the
grounds and thcso will bo put In place at
once and the superstructure of the dome
roared without delay. The building Is up
to the cornice line all aroun.1 and the work
of covering the roof around the sldca Is
progrwolng. The great trusses which will
span the central portion of each wing are
being swung Into place , the work of raising
them having been commenced yesterday
morning. The lower chord of thcuo trusses
I-i In the form of a segment of a circle , pro
ducing a pleacing effect as seen from the
lloor at n distance. Mr. Farna-n says that
if the weather Is not unfavorable the big
( building will bo under roar by the first of
the coming month.
There have been nimble.l of trouble In con
nection1 with this ( building on account of the
charge made 'by ' organized labor that the
contractor has 'been ' violating the federal
eight-hour law and has been employing In
ferior workmen- paying low wages. It
wns largely on account of tlicao complaints
and the fact that the ( building was pro-
Kresslag at a very slow rate > that Mr.
Iranian was sent to Omaha to supervise the
worl : . When asked about these complaints
Mr. Farnan Bald ho found on Investigation
that -the contractor had been working more
than eight hours , but on being told that the
law must bo compiled with In the absence
of Instructions to the contrary from Wash
ington , thcro had been no further violations
In that direction slnco his arrival. RegardIng -
Ing the wogo question , Mr. Farnan said ho
liad no Jurisdiction further than to sco that
no Inferior work goes Into the building.
Contractor Alexander , who Is to do the
staff work on the 'building ' , Is at n stand
still , OH the small models for
the staff work rave not yet beea1 re
ceived from Washington. The super
vising I architect sends ta the contractor
( i small model of each < portlon of the orna
mental staff work on the building and mo
progress can bo made until these are re
ceived. Tlieso. models are made In Wash
ington and nropassed upon ( by the ofllclaln
hi the supervising architect's onico and the
contractor Is obliged to follow them ex-
! > lcty. ! ! ! Mr. Alexander Kays ho has been
ready for three weeks to commence active
work , but can do nothing until the models
arrive.

The Board of Park Commissioners me
yesterday afternoon to open the bids on th
construction of the bridges across the lagoor
at Twentieth street. There were eleven bide
each accompanied by the plans on which th
bid was bated and as anticipated a numbe
of bld below JIO.OOO were secured. The wide
range of figures Is explained by the fact tha
coch bidder prepared hs ! own plans In ac
cordancc with a few general rules and la
some cases they contemplate- more preten
tlous construction than In others.
The blto for the construction of the two
bridges with foundation and superstructure
complete were : Canton Bridge company
Canton , O. , $0.350 ; Glllctte-Herzog Manufac
luring company , Mlnnoipol's , $14,000 or $11 ,
640. two plans submitted ; C. B. H. Camp
bell , Council Illuffs , ? 17,000 ; H. n. Mayo &
Co. , Omaha , $12,310 ; Wisconsin Bridge am
Iron company , Milwaukee , $13,970 ; Yen Cour
& Wlnn. Omaha , $9,950 ; Gelset Construction
company , St. Louis , $13.300 ; P. H. Mahoney
Omaha , $9,761 ; Youngstown Brldgo company
Youngatown , O. , $10,000 ; Wrought Ircn Bridge
company , Canton , 0. , $13500 ; Farnsworlh &
Blodgett , Kansas City , $ HCOO. The bids were
referred to the city tngincer for tabulation
and the board will meet again Saturday aft
ernoon. to consider them. .
The board adopted a resolution assarting
Its right to prevent the construction of stree
railway tracks or the location of telephone
or telegraph poles on the Nineteenth strce
boulevard , The resolution recites the fac
that under the charter the board had the
right to make rules for the regulation of the
pirks , parkways and boulevards and provides
that Inasmuch as Nineteenth otreet from
Chicago to Ohio streets , Ohio street from
Nineteenth to Twentieth , Twentieth strcc
from Ohio to the Florence boulevard and
Florence boulevard to Miller park were i
part of the park system of the city , no etree
lallway tracks should bo laid or poles se
en these streets. In acting on the resolution
It was explained that thlrf was not a decla
ration of war. It was passed so that It couU
not be asserted that the board had not as
sumed the authority which bad been con
ferred on It by the charter and It was pro
posed to have a conference with the strcc
railway officials with the object of reaching
sn amicable adjustment of the difficulty.
In this connection a letter was receiver
from John T. Gathers , asking the board to
take steps to protect the boulevard , Mr
Gathers stated incidentally that he owned
the west half of Twentieth street from Lo
cust street to the base ball grounds , as It
had never been formally dedicated to the
city and that If the street railway company
proceeded to construct tracks ho would fence
It up. The letter was placed on .file.
J. II. Van Duscn and C. M. Hunt of the
South Omaha park commission appeared be
fore the board to arrange for GOO trees to
bo used In beautifying the park at Twenty-
sixth and U streets. They will probably be
accommodated as eoon as Superintendent
Adams has taken an Inventory of the trees
on hand so that the varieties that can be
spared arc ascertained.

McCaguo building and elected the following
board of directors : B. II , Hoblson , James P.
Latta , C. L. Koblson , J. M. Metcalf and T.
W. Blackburn. Judge W. D. McIIugh and
Sidney D. Barkalow were the Inspectors ol

The directors elected the following ofllccrs :
President , B. H , lloblson ; vlco president ,
James P. Latta ; second vlco president , C. I *
KobUon ; secretary Frederic T. Braman ;
treasurer , J. M. Metcalf. President llobl-
son's first annual report was presented ami
Is as follows :
"Wo welcome you to this , the first annual
meeting of the members , and hope to bo
privileged to greet you at many future ses
sions.
The organization of an Institution of any
kind , whether educational , financial or benev
olent , is of Interest and advantage to any
city , state or section when ably conducted
and properly managed. The people of the
great west duplicate the cities , railways ,
banks , educational and other Institutions of
the east.
The people of the west have for years
contributed vast sums to tbo Insurance com
panies of the cast for premiums. The
money thus taken from tbo banks and busi
ness of the west and sent east Is withdrawn
from circulation and contracts the limited
money supply In each state ot the west
more than $1,000,000 annually. The millions
of money e nt cast for Insurance , lu ex
cess of the losses tald , for the most part Is
not returned west , and then only ! ti ex
change for western bonds , mortgages or
other securities or for leans on the choicest
lots and lands of our cities and states. The
Interest thus paid being a further drain on
the banks and money supply of the west.
This Is a subject that should command the
attention , and best thought of western finan
ciers , bankers , business men , Insurers and
the pTCsa.
Western life and fire Insurance companies
should bo supported and built up. The
money thus paid for premiums remains at
homo In our banks. The accumulations and
surplus being Invested lu each state and
the Interest Is not sent away. Western la-
surora should not wait to bo urged to glvo
ipatrcnago to solid , well conducted western
companies , but should rattier apply for small
policies.
If every business man carrying life Insurance -
suranco would only voluntarily apply for
$1,000 or $2,000 In home companies a com
pany could bo built In five years In any
western state wltli from $50,000,000 to $100-
000,000 Insurance , and having an Income
from premiums of 51,000,000 or $2,000,000 an
nually every dollar remaining In our home
banks and the surplus Invested .In . western
s-ecuritles. This money remaining at home ,
business men would thereby bo In position
to have the ad\antago of the funds for com
mercial purposes through the Increased sup
ply to our home banks , Instead of a constant
money drain upon , them , and , in addition
thereto , would have safe , cheap and equally
becuro insurance at home.
For example : The pccple ot the great
state of Iowa have fostered , encouraged and
given liberal patronage to Iowa and other
western Insurance companies until DCS
Molncs Is rapidly becoming the Hartford of
the west , as an insurance and financial cen
ter. The Iowa Insurance companies largely
supply the demand for mortgage loans to the
exclusion of eastern competition and capi
tal.
tal.It
It may bo for our encouragement to know-
that the Bankers' Life of Iowa reported -111
certificates Issued from July 1 , 1879 , to De
cember 31 , 1881 , aggregating $822,000 , at the
closeof its third official year ; while the
Bankers Ue arvo Life of Omaha had written
586 applloatlcas aggregating $ So6,000 , being a
larger number and volume during Its first
six months of active work.
For illustration In Nebraska , the Ancient
Drder of United Workmen , also the Modern
Woodmen of America , In about twelve yearn
tiavo each secured an active membership ot
nearly 25,000 members , averaging $2,000 on
each risk , making a combined volume ap-
iroxlmatlns $100,000,000 Insurance In Ne-
jreska , and yet not one voter In ten In this
state la Insured in these excellent orders.
The Bankers' Heservo securing a like
mtronago would be a tower of strength In Us
icrne state and this would Insure most liberal
patronage and largo premium receipts from
; vcry western and northern state , every dol-
ar ot which would pass through the tcnka
of our own city and state.
Life Insurance under present conditions is
rapidly becoming universal. Life in&uranco
s the only certain provision most men can
make for the maintenance and' protection of
heir families and within their Income after
meeting the necessary expenses incidental
o living and for educational purposes. This
self evident truth Is well known and rccog-
lized by every ( Intelligent man who thinks
and considers the responsibility of leaving a
vlfe and dependent ones without certain
revision for their support. It Is In the ful-
lllmcnt of this hope that wo find the great In
centive for the patronage accorded the life ,
raternal and benevolent institutions of our
and that within a. quarter of a century al-
mst outnumber the churches of our nation.
The Bankers' Heservo life association com-
ilcted Its charter July 3 , 1897 , having been
ncorporated March 25 of the same year by
veil known Insurance and business men of
lu west , who recognized the foregoing con-
lltlons and self evident truths and had faith
n the good Judgment and patronage of the
icoplo of the west always loyal to their In-
ercsts and institutions.
NEW BUSINESS.
"Wo close our first half year of actual work
vlth 680 applications on our books , aggre
gating $856,000 Insurance on the lives of the
cadlng business and professional men of our
Ity , state and the west. The average amount
at risk on a slnelo life belne onlv S1.447.fin
he average ago a fraction over 39 years. The
lass and character of the business Cs prob
ably not equaled by that of any company
ransactlng business In this section.
The officers and directors wish In this
mblia manner to return their sincere thanks
o the hundreds of business and profcs-
lonal men who have given their support
and patronage to the Bankers lU-worve , In
cluding especial thanks to tbo commercial
joillcu , mercantile agencies and press for
heir support. This liberal patronage from
ho leading business and professional men of
) maha , Nebraska and the west , Is of great
advantage In prosecuting our work In ad-
otnlng states.
The ( Hankers Reserve is located In the
; eographlcal center of the United States , In
ho great agricultural region that Is destined
0 .support a dense population , The location
ommands by mall and rail the vast territory
vest of the Alleghany mountains to the
'aclfio ocean. The Bankers Heservo will In
1 few years expect to transact its business
n every city , hamlet and state of this great
and and every dollar of Its Income must
pass through tbo banks of this city and
ectlon.
Wo enter the new year with bright pros-
icclH. We have a modern plan , a liberal
lollcy , a loyal , able agency corps to whom
ny sincere thanks , Individually , and that ot
ly associates , Is most heartily given.
Our members and producers are tbo most
mportant factors In building a solid , per-
lanent Institution. We lnvlto the co-opera-
Ion of our members , agents , friends and
f the people of the west. With It we feel
confident wo can build up an institution
lore which will bo a credit to our city ,
tate and country.

By the falling of n small portion of the
floor In the new neutral house at the CuJahy
packing plant yesterday ono nun was
killed and two Injured. J. Novak , whoso
homo was at Fortieth and J streets , was the
laborer killed. Chris Montgomery , another
laborer , had his Jaw broken and Mike O'Day
received a few slight scalp wounds. The
portion of the floor which fell was at a point
where the new neutral house jolncil the old
neutral building. All ot the timbers used In
Iti'.e floor were now and the girders , which
were 12x10 Inches , were set twelve Inches
Into the old brick wall. For some reason
as yet unexplained a slice of this wall about
twelve Inches wide slumped and allowed the
heavy girder to fall.
There was no particularly heavy weight on
the floor that fell. Some barrels ot pork
wcro piled along the wall , but the greater
part of the portion that fell was used as a
passageway. The man who was killed and
those Injured were working on the floor at
the time when , without warning , dt gave way
and precipitated them to the floor beneath ,
a distance of about ten foot. Some of the
pork barrels fell on Novak and It Is supposed
that the weight of these crushed him to
death.
Superintendent Cameron nt once put a
gang of men to work removing the fallen
timbers and pork barrels and the body of
Novak was brought out lu a very few min
utes. Doctors had been sent for as soon as
the acddemi happened , but Novak was be
yond help. The Injuries of the others wuro
dressed and they were sent to their homes.
In speaking about the accident Superintend
ent Cameron said that It was ono ot ( Close
unavoidable accidents whlcdi sometimes hap
pen nud the cause of which are hard o
ascertain. Every piece of timber used in the
construction of this floor was now and eouod ,
and at the time the girders hud been Inserted
in Hie old wall extra precautions had been
taken to brace the wall by the addition of
new brick.
Brewer & Sloano took charge of the re-
mulns and notified Coroner Swauson , who de
cided to hold an Inquest this forenoon.
Superintendent Cameron extended every
courtesy possible to tbo newspaper men who
visited the plant for the purpose of Inquir
ing Into the details of the acolder.t. and the
Injured men were also treated wl'h every
consideration.

turning to the hotel a concert will be given

and the former Is enthusiastic In his com
ments upon it. "Several thousand people , "
ho says , "met Nansen at the depot and a re
ception was given him at his hotel In tha
evening by the Scandinavians. All the so
cieties of the city accompanied him In a
torch light procession from the hotel to the
hall where he was to speak. When the
pioccssion was ready to leave the hotel there
were fully 10,000 people 011 the streets. A
short address was made In Norwegian , which
was responded to by 'Nansen in the same
language. The Norseman Singing society
