About 100 members ot the Nebraska Press

women In the delegation , some of thorn be-
IUK wives of the members nnd others being
active members of the association on their
own account.
Special cars were In waiting at the depot
to take the party to the exposition grounds ,
nud the trip to that point was nude without
lucldt-nt. The main court was first visited
nnd the visitors made the circuit of the
court , passing through the several main
buildings and visiting the staff shops. Some
time was spent In this manner and the
visitors coniinentel very freely on the
t ogrcs3 which was In nvlde-nce. The "gen
eral opinion was onu of astonishment anil
Bender at thu magnitude ol the enterprise !
nnd thu progress which has been made. Tlio
, bluff tract was visited , after which the party
boarded the cars again and made a Hying
: trip to South Oui'.ha ' to visit the stock
| yards.
i The train on which many of the visitors desired -
< sired to iteturn to their homes was scheduled
, to leave the de-pot at 2:55 : p. m. , ami there
was little time for formalities.
President Wattles made n short talk to the
Eiicsts. welcoming them to the city and ex
pressing the wish that they would see the
exposition as i matter In which the entire
state is Interested. Ex-President Klmmel
of the Press . -ssoclatlon nnd Edgar Howard
of Papllllon made short talks In which
they oxpressr-1 their conviction that the ex
position was l.ound to ben great success nnd
a lasting benefit to the state. They gave
assurance that the members of the Press
association will not be bacUW'jrd In aiding
the exposition In e-very possible way.
As soon as luncheon was disposed of the
; , - party dispersed and those wishing to take
the afteniocn train hurried away for that
purpose * . Some of the visitors remained In
the city , leaving on later trains or staying
over until today.

Although It Is more than four months be
fore the date set for the opening of the gates
of the Trnr.mnlpfllsslppl ami International
Exposition , Omaha Is already the Mecca ot
largo bodies of people drawn hither by the
exposition. They come from all quarters of
the LVilon und reprcacnt a great variety of
Interests , but all are actuated by ono motive ,
viz : to.Iearn by actual observation the exact
etatus of the exposition and to make ur-
rangemecita for representation by the sec
tion of country represented by them. A num
ber of thcsD delegntlono have vl-iited the city
within the lust few weeks a < ul others are
expecte.l In the near future. Judging from
the unanimous expressions of the delegations
which have preceded them the expected vis
itors will tleid that their most flattering an
ticipations will be more than realized.
Thirty-two business men from St. Joseph ,
M.\ , will arrlvo In the elty today to visit
the exposition grounds ami olllces and con
fer with the exposition officials regarding
leprcsuntatlon for their city and state.
Saturday morning a party consisting nf

Secretary MUchke of the Colorado Exposi
tion commission writes to the Department
of Exhibits thut un excellent exhibit from
Colorado la assured , regardless of whether
the- state commUihMi U ble to do anything
or nut. Ho saya I ho commission is holding
meetings and U resorting to eivory known
method to ralw funds to enable It to make a
creditable exhibit , but lie doca not express
any strong IKV * o ( nuccewi In thin direction.
He soys , however , that the stole will bo

credit to II * inngninccnt resource * , as the
tcven counties In the \rknnsas valley have
Perfected an orguulzAtloti for making an ex
hibit of the fruits and other ( irxlucts of that
region , the eleven countlt-a on the "western
slope" bavin ? done likewise , and Hie city of
Denver baa a cotnmlttlon ot Us own which
will erect & building and make a dUplay of
Colorado products. In addition to this Secre
tary MI'clike says that Mining Commissioner
Leo will Install tlin flue in'.cicr.il exhibit bo-

Im chttiiRM the designation of two of UK
main building * In the main court and here
after the bulMlng at the "O'lthc.ist ' corner u
the Ingonii , which has been known ns tin.
Manufactures building , will be Iincwn am
designated ns the Mines and Mining build
it V. while the largo building at the cast side
o : the Administration arch en the north 6lde
of the lagoon will bo known as the Manu
fnrttircn building.
Thh change \va.i tnado on account of the
great press of applications for epaco In tin.
manufactures display. It has been appalcnt
foi1 some time that the Manufactures bulld-
liiK wcs entirely too small for the purpose for
which Itvas Intended , ami no practicable
plan Imrt been devised for enlarging the
building. The Liberal Arts building was
planned and erected near the IMnnufacturco
building as onu means of relieving1 the prcs
sure , but this was not sulllclcnt and tbo de
mand for more space has been pressing for
somn time. The Department of Exhibits re
ports tliat after leaving out of consldcratloi
all the exhibits which might bo considered
undesirable for any reason and confining ex
hibitors to the smallest space commensurate
with 'their ' proposed exhibit there still re
main application * for space at least 2 , " per
cent In excess of the capacity of the Mnnu
facturcs and Mbeinl Arts buildings combined
ami in > ere applications for space coming It
dally.
In view of these conditions the executive
committee , at Its mcoilng yesterday , decldei
to change the namrs of thu buildings as
stated heretofore. The decoration of Hit
Mine ? building , which has especial rcfer-
cricii to the mining Industry , will be trans
ferrcd to thu Manufactures building and the
space Hi us left will bo filled with other orna
mentation In keeping with the new character
which will bo given to 'the building. With
this exception no changes will bo made li
cither building and there will bp nothing
about either to Indicate that any change was
made' .
The new Manufactures building will have
fully one-third more lloor space than the one
first deilgnnted by thut name and thrro
will bu nmplo opportunity for extending this
building toward the north along the east
sldo of Twentieth street.Vlrllo no definite
plan of this kind has been olllclally decided
upon , It Is probable 'that a wing will be con
structed to this building as suggested and
this will bo assigned to the foreign ex
hibitors , of whom thcro will Ina large num
ber.

The bill Introduced In the New Jersej
legislature , providing for an 'appropriation
for a state building to bo erected en the ex
position grounds , docs not specify the
amount to be appropriated , the amount being
left blank at the suggestion of members o :
thi > seatecommltto ? on appropriations
there being Home difference or opinion as to
whether the amount should be $10,000 or
$ L'0,000. The matter of promoting the pas
sage of this bill Is In the hands of Chair
man Robert Mitchell Kloyd of Jersey City
ind 'E. ' O. Halstead of Omaha , the repn-
sontatlvo of the Department of l'ubllclt >
and Promotion 'who has been In Xew Jersei
for several weeks assisting the Xew Jersey
commission In Us work of securing a large
and creditable exhibit of the resources o.
the state. It is 'reported ' that there U little
daub ! , about the bill going through with at
least $10,000. All of the leading papers or
the state are giving the matter their strong
est support.

In commenting upon 'the ' protests of Vho
stamp collectors against the issue of a sei
of special stamps commemorative' of the ex
position , Harper's Weekly says :
This protest seems not altogether unrea
sonable. Of course- the 1'ostolliee depart
ment outfht not to Issue now kinds of
stamp1 * for the purpose of catching the
pennlo-i of collet Li-y. It Is too big a con

nothing and would amuse the pi-ople. Prom
the iilillatcllst's point of view that seems
roprt'lienslblo. The. Issue , however , won't
bother any ono except the stamp e-olloe-tors
and the average citizen , who wants the

The Judlrlary rommlttee of the council h--s
considered a number of amendments to the
new gas franchise ordinance and has finally
decided on due which will bo offered nt tile
next meeting of the council. H was at first
proposed to tack on several amendments. Ivit
the committee , after considering the matter ,
dn.jped alt but one. A sugge.itlon had be.ni
made regarding the- new company erecting
peimanent buildings of a certain size , etc. ,
the number of eiu'loyes wa-3 al.3O . to be desig
nated In another amendment. Then thei < . >
was aiiothe-r one Miked over w'.ilch provided
that the 'franchise ' must run for a cettnlti
dumber of years before It could be trans
ferred.
The ctie amendment which has been de
cided upon by the judiciary committee yro-
vldes that the promoters , Mcssrs. Flynn ,
Wyiiun and Cres-sey , shall deposit a certified
check for ? 5,000 as a guatanty that the
t > lant would bo completed and in working or
der within two years.
In speaking about this amendment last
eveoiing W. U. Wyman , who la ono of the
aiollcttits for the franchise , stated t'jat lie
would under no elrcumstances accept the
amendment. It was ridiculous , ho tald. to
nsk any concern to lay ? 3,000 aside for two
years where It oould not be used by anyona.
Nothing of the surt had been demanded
by the Judlrlary committee when a fran
chise was gva'iited ' for ? 1.CO gas , and now
that the cou.rviny ho represented offered 'o
soil gas for $1 jicr 1,000 cubic feet this
stumbling block was placed In the way.
Continuing. Mr. Wyman said that if the
present city council did not giant the fran
chise ho would not be discouraged. T-jeru
would , ho said , be a city election next April
whca four councllme'ii ' were to be chosen , and
unless the franchise as originally drafted
was yassed , the gas franchise question would
bu made-one of the features of the election.

Next Tnraday the annual meeting of the
South Omaha Hcspltal association will be
held and officers elected for the current
year. Within the last week or two com
mittees from the association have canvassed
tlio city and'have secured donatinus amount
ing to considerable. The managers of thr'
lacking houses have made finite liberal sub
scriptions , and It la understood that enough
money has been pledged to vlacc the insti
tution on a firm footing 'for ' ssme little
time.
There has been considerable criticism of
the prestot nyinagomc'nt ' on account of alleged
extravagant expenditures. It Ins been as
serted that the > utmost -economy was neces
sary In order to prevent the hosiltal from
becoming too dccoly Invslved In debt. One-
thing that ii great many members of the
, take to the enJ-
-oclatlon exceptions was E -
kig of $10 to give one of the retlrlug nurses.
Miss Nelson , a present of some silverware.
Miss Nelson resigned for t'je reason liial
she was going to bo married , and , although
she had boon employed at the hospital only
ulx weeks , certain of the ofllccrs felt called
upon to fncnd the amount mentioned lei pur
chasing a suitable wedding present. The
women are talking about this expenditure
a great deal , anil as there Is quite a bit of
dissatisfaction It may cut something ot o.
llgurc at the election.

heir to 1,000.000 ( $5,000,000) ) in Buda-Pesth ,
Hungary , and for whom the police have been
searching , lies ici a pauper's grave in the pot
ter's field. While agents and lawyers were
searching the world over for ono of the heirs
to the millions of Huda-Pealh's greatest
banker the object of their qticflt occupied a
maniac's ce".l In the county aayluni. Ohm-
Btech died under his rlght name , but with a
pauper's number opposite It on the books o !
the asylum'
A letter was received yesterday Dy Chief
of Detectives Colleran requesting him to look
for Ohrnstech. The letter came from fiuda-
Pesth and said that a fortune awaited Ohrn
stech , ns his father hail died recently. To
day Attorney N. J. Waldmnn called at de-
tootlve headquarters nnd told the. story or
Ohrnatech's fate. According to Waldmnn ,
who sajs ho Is nn fid schoolmate of Ohrn-
utech , the latter died n maniac's death , the
n-suit oi his wife's alleged Infidelity. Mrs.
Ward Ohrnstoch was considered one of the
mcK-t ibeautlful women In Austro-llungary
when isho married the son of the banker.
She reigned hello In that society until
rumors of her Infidelity became current.
She la now , says Wnldman , living
as the wife of n French nobleman ,
an officer In the French army. When young
Ohrnstech learned the state of affairs he
parted from his wife Ead shortly after came
to America , arriving In Now York In Octo
ber , 18fi. ! ) Ho ecured employment with A.
II. Hoerner. a New York bond broker , and
came to Chicago as the latter'i ) agent. He
soon alter called en Waldman , wao noticed
that Ohrnatoch was mot In his right mind.
Olirnstech's peculiar actions attracted con
siderable attention at the Great Northern
hotel , where he was stopping , and ho was
finally arrested and sent to the house of cor
rection on a charge of disorderly conduct ,
where ho remained for thirty-three dayn ,
and Waldman lout sight of him. Shortly after
Ohrnstech won discharged ho was < igala ar
rested and 'his time sent to the detention
hospital. On May 20 , I8H7 , ho was declared
infant ) and committed to Dunning. He
rarely could bo prevailed upon to cat , nnd
on November 2S lie died. IJy a strange coincidence -
incidence Ohrnstrch's father died the day
his soil was committed to the asylum. Up
to the time , ot his commitment Ohrnstoch Is
said to have corrrnpomled regularly with
his relatives , 'Init ' hl.s letters suddenly ceagca
ami all trace of him was I rut until recently.
Ohrnstech. r. , was the owner of the
largest bank In IludapcHth and wan worth
15,000,000 florins when ho died , In his will
ho left 1,000,000 florins to hla eon , Edward
