bureau were present : Dudley Smith. Major
U. S. Wllcox , A C. Smith nnd C. M. Wll-

eral plan for conducting Its duties but this
I > lan must bo submitted to the Ways and
Means committee of the exposition direc
tory for approval. The buieau Is a sub
committee of this body and om only make
recommendations.
In the report that the bureau will make
to the next meeting of the committee wilt
be a recommendation that a permanent
qtiaitora fur an Information bureau bo estab
lished in some largo room or building in
the ctntral part of the city. If this rccoiu-
wcndJtion Is adopted the bureau will go to
work Immediately to make the selection In
order that the. quarters may bo established
as boon as possible.
U is also recommended that the Informa
tion olllce bo under the direct supervision
of the exposition dl-ectory. No authority is
to bo given to any outside project to tibo the
iianio I'ransmlsslsslppl or Imposition ' " on'
ncctlon with any Information bureau schcmu
thH may be launched.
All hotels , boarding houses and other
establishments which expect to provide ac
commodations for vlsltnra to the exposition
are to bo requested to fllo a list of their ac
commodations and the schedules of prices
they intend to maintain during the exposi
tion with the bureau. Kmphasls Is to be laid
on the latter provision It is not desired
that v miters to the city should be "held
up" for lodging and It Is for this ro.so.i
that the schedule of prices Is wanted now.
This and other Information Is to be sent to
the "Ilurcau of Public Comfort , Postolllce
Hot No 12 Omaha. "
The bureau nlso determined that It would
bo a good plan for the members to visit all
the hotels in the city for the nut pose of Im
pressing the proprietors with the necessity
of treating their guests fulily and reason
ably dining the exposition. It was decided
to meet overj W < dne&day night In the olllcci
of the Ways and Means committee in the
Paxton block , until the permanent quarters
are beeured ,
The llland Directory company , which has
been soliciting with much success among
the residents on tlio matter of listing rooms ,
etc , has no connection with the exposition
It Is a purely privute enterprise.

At the Nashville Exposition a department
was organized to furnish accommotlltlona
for bodies of troops desiring to camp at or
near the exposition and certain of the camp
equipment was furnlihcd by the exposition
authorities. This department was under the
direction of Captain < H. C. Ward , the of
ficer detailed by the War department In
charge of the exhibit made by the depart
ment at Nashville and at Omahft. The re
port of the operations of 'this ' department
made by Captain Ward shows It to have
been a great success In every sense. Presi
dent Wattles has -written to Captain Warn
to ascertain when he will arrive In Omaha
nnd will consult him regarding the details
of such n department upon bis arrival.
The president suggests that the Port
Omuha reservation , which will probably be
turned over to the exposition authorities ,
will make an excellent camping ground for
the purpose suggested and could bo utilized
with llttlo expcnso to the exposition.

Harrison Talcott , otherwise known as
"IMngcrfleld , " had n quarrel vvlHi Henry
Avcry , the gatckect-c-r of ii rourlcenth street
dance , last night , because the formality ol
n ticket was demanded , and drawing his
pockctknlfo ho threw It with such skill ns
to make a painful stab In the official's leg.
Taloott Is a colored boy who has spent his
llfo In Omnla and was for a number of
years recognized as the terror of the Tarnam
street school.
The ball occurred In the Knights of Labor
ball , and was glve'n by the Japanese club , a
recent social organization of colored oeople.
A\ery had been stationed at the door to
keep out undesirable latrocis , and had stood
at his post until about 10 o'clock , when he
htaid a tumult at the gatekeeper's wicket
further up the stairs. Ho hastened to the
sciuo and found "Dangcrflold" In an alter
cation over his admittance. The ticket seller
argued that the niipllcant should be provided
with i ticket and Talcott held that no such
provision was necessary. Avcry was t'Jcn
directed as cuter guard to ccuvey Talcott
down stairs. Ho says that the- young man
went peaceably enough and made such an
earnest promise to observe the rulco of the
club that ho was released at the door and
allowed to return. It Is fuid that young Tal
cott again demanded admittance and became
abublve to the tlcKet seller. On this oc
casion Avery started for him with the In
tent to east him out for geol and all. The
young man met him with n drawn knife
and Avcry paused. Talcott drew bick tne
weapon and threw It stralgVit for Avery's
body. The latter sprang several steps up
the stairs and received the blido In his right
leg. Talcott ran down stairs and was ar
rested later In u saloon across the street.
He was charged with cutting with Intc-nt to
do great bodily Injury.
Avery was' taken to the police station
and his wound drrssed by a police surgeon.
It was a Mesh wound and not dangerous

OMAHA , Jan. 20. To the Edltoi of The
BeeIt Is with gloat pleasure that I read
the many notices In your valuable papei 10-
gardlng the exposition It looks like ar-
langements were being made for a great
show , but I cannot help but notice the lack
of manufacturing exhibits , i. c. , cxhlults
that will be making the goods on the
ground. Wo certainly do not want to miku
u mere -state fair out of this great exposi
tion , but by the accounts we&ee In the dally
press , It looks like It would be only equal
to our store windows. I have noticed for the
last six. months that various shoe factoilcs
have applied for a , email space , i mining from
sixty to 100 feet , ana If all come that your
paper has given account of we certainly
shall see fifty shoe factories exhibiting their
manufactured products. Now , is this what
the pc-ople want to see ? AVould not ono shoo
f-actory in operation be better than fifty shoe
exhibits ? Would it not help to hold the
crowds ? Would It not bo better to give a
show that takes six days to sec than one
that takes only three days ? And if the expo
sition Is nude up of dead exhibits , wlll it
not lessen the attendance , and will not the
new.s go out to the 'world that any large
store contains about -xhat one will see at
the exposition ? 1 am told that the best gold
medal Is for muchineiy In operation best
adapted to our western products. Has there
been an application filed for space for ma
chinery that will make any kind of woolen
goods ? The transmlssissippl country It full
of sheep , and should bo the home of woolen
mills. Is there an application flled foi an
exhibit that will display the process of man
ufaeturlng our hemp , and show what a coun
try wo have for this product , and that there
Is plenty of room ifor capital to invest in
this enterpilse ? Is there an application filed
for a manufactory that will take our cereal
goods and produce our. breakfast food on
the grounds ? Look at the live exhibits this
class ot exhibits would make , and how the
people would stand and fee the piodiict
manufactured ; the day -would soon bo gone ,
and they must coma the next day , and the
next , and so on , and every day means GO
cents for expenses Would It not be bettor ,
even If It costs a few hundred dollars , and
free space , to secure a dozen Live exhibits ,
in order to give it some tone' The people
have sfcii showcases , buntlng-bootha , tlnsuo
paper decorations , etc. , etc. , to thcli hearts'
content Thny raise sheep , but the process
of putting the wool Into cloth Is IIPVV. They
lalso hemp , but how Is the twine made' '
They harvest the oats , and wheat , but how
on earth are the food products made from
them ?
Probably applications for this class of ex
hibits lire filed , but If they are I think your
paper would have shown It. It certainly Is
a xery grave question , and a subject that ,
If not properly handled , the future results
from the exposition and the attendance on
the snmo will fall flat. The Department of
Publicity has certainly let the woild kncv.s
about UK , and now , when they start to come ,
\vo must < ihow the goods , and , as ono that Is
Interested , I would say get the goods at any
cost , ami don't let a good thing pass by bc-
caust ) the Department of Concessions cannot
ECO a return for thorn. This , I understand ,
has been the ea.so In locating Lho exhibits.

The repairs on the Sixteenth street via
duct were completed yesterday afternoon
and It will bo thrown open for travel this
morning. The exact cost oC the repairs will
not bo known until the final pay rolls are
made up , but It Is thought that It will not
exceed the original estimate of $5,000 for
labor and material The repairs have been
entirely In the nature of makeshifts and the
structure now presents n very botched up
appearance from nn nrchltectinal stand
point City Engineer Rosewater snys that
the most ho hopes from the repairs is that
the viaduct will be kept in .1 nafe condition
for another year , In order to avoid closing
up the street during the exposition. As sooc
ao the exposition is over It will bo neces
sary to build a new viaduct at once and hn
urges that the preliminary steps should be
taken at once , so the work need not bo de
layed by complications when Immediate ac
tion becomes Imperative.
It Is uncertain when the street car com
pany will again inn its South Omaha trains
over the viaduct. General Manager Smith
said yesteiday afternoon that the tracks
south of the -\laduct are not readv for the
ttalllc , but as soon as they are the South
Omaha line will bo resumed along this
thoioughfare.

The Advisory Hoard enjoyed the longest
session It has ever held yesterday and then
It adjourned to 2 o'clock this afternoon ,
when the grind will be continued.
The first business was a complaint from
neighboring residents In regard to a barn
and stock pen at 2113 Cumlng street. It
was alleged that the yard had become n
nulsanco and a menace to the health of the
sunoundlng locality and the evidence which
was produced tended to show that the Block
business In that neighborhood was not pai-
tlcularly conducive to the comfort of its
residents. The complaint was taken under
advisement by the board until the next
meeting and in the meantime the owners
will bo given an opportunity to decide what
measures they will take to mitigate the
nulsanco.
The garbage investigation was conducted
In executive session , in order that the v , It-
nesses might not bo enabled to hear what
others had testified to No now facts VYOH *
brought out and as the Investigation had
only secured a fair start at 5 o'clock , < in
adjournment was agreed on.

The city council met yesterday afternoon
and adopted the report of the Hoard of
Equalization. Tax Commissioner Sickett
has not tabulated thu changes , Imt It Is
believed that the aggregate as returned by

changed.
After formally declaring the Sixteenth
street viaduct open for travel the council
adjourned until tonight , when It will dis
cuss the annual levy.
