The protection of an exposition against
flra Is always a vital question anil 0110 which
causefl tha management of any enterprise
of that nature a great deal ot unca lnet.
until the exposition Is safely brought to a
clojo and everjthrng Is removed from the
ground.1 The Traiulmtsiilsglppl Exposition
is no exception to this general rule and a
great deal of thought lias been devoted to
this particular department. The entire
charge ot the gioundg of the exposition , in
cluding the buildings , Is vested In the De
partment of Buildings aud Grounds. Manager
Klrkemlall of that department has been giv
ing a great deal of attention to providing the
proper facilities for guarding the buildings
against fire and perfecting arrangements
which will bo a safeguard against the de
struction of the multitude of expensive PI *
hlbltfl which will soon be placed In the build
ings.
ings.A
A system has been arranged which Is btf-
Hcved to be extensive enough to meet all
the requirements and assure aa perfect pro
tection as Is possible to be obtlined.
There Is now ntitloned on tuo exposition
grounds , In the hoao house , standing tem
porarily on Ihc south side of the ligoon about
the middle of the tract , a four-wheel hose
reel manned by five men. These men were
picked from the Omaha lire department and
are all experienced f.ro flghttrfl. They ore
all single men and live on the grounds.
Within a short time the house la which
this company Is sheltered will be moved
from Its present temporary location tc
Twentieth street , between Mamleison "and
I'ratt , where It will be about midway be
tween the main court and the north tract
Another hose IIOURO will be erected on the
bluff tiact opposite the viaduct leading f.-on
the main court onto the bluff tract.

Manager KlrKendall lias contiacted for i
hook and ladder truck of the largest size
cirrjlng a sixty-foot ladder and severa
smaller ladder * In addition to the othei
cqutpa.ent of a truck. He h s also contractei
for two hose wagons All ot this appiratu :
Is of the moat Improved tjpo and has beci
nolected with the advice of Chief Hedcll o
the Omaha fire department , who was ap
pointed by Manager Klrkendall some tlim
ago as a member of the Tire Insurance 'boan '
for the grounds. It to Urn expectation of thi
exposition management that the city author
Itle-s will take this apparatus from the expo
sltlon at a fair prLo after the exposition I :
closed.
No definite arrangements have yet beei
made for minnlng the apparatus , but It I
rather taken for granted that the Omahi
fire dtpaitment will supply the men. Th
men now on duty on the grounds are bclni
pilil by the city , but whether the city wll
continue this policy has not been dctcrmlnoc
In addition to the fire appiratus referre >
to thcr la a complete system of stand pipe
In each of th exposition buildings. Th
Machinery and Electricity building is pro
vtded with four of these stanil pipes , cac :
having two openings The pipe extendln
from the water main to the building Is si
Inches In diameter , but the stand plpo 1
but three Inches In size. Attached to cac
opening In the stand pipe _ w 111 bo from 10
to 150 feet of hose. The e stand pipes arne
no arranged that the entire Interior of th
Imlldlng Is within reach of the hois. I
the Machinery and Electricity building ther
arc four stand plpea. each having two open

the Liberal Arts six , the Tine Arts foui

The working out of the details of the mus
for the exposition Is progressing slowly , thei
being several differences of opinion betwec
the musical director and some of the cxeci
tlvo committee regarding certain of this d
tails. Those matters arc of such a natur
however , that the delay does not affect I
any way the progress ot the main fcatun
of the arrangement.
It has been definitely settled that the Thci
dare Thomas Chicago orchestra will bo i
the exposition during the first five weeks ar
perhaps longer , and will furnish the orche
tral music for the various choral socletl
which will appear In the Auditorium durlr
Its engagement. The Apollo club of Chlcag
one of the best known musical organlzatloi
In the country , will probably appear two <
three times at the opening ot the exposltlo
Arrangements are now pending by which th
society , will render "Elijah" the opening ill
of the exposition and will follow this on tl
two or three eucceedlng days with light
works of well known composers. Oth

Musical Director Klmball Is negotiating
with managers of a number ot the moat noted
soloists for engagements to appear In the
Auditorium both In solos and In company
with ionic of the numerous choral societies.
It Is tits Intention to have a concert In the
Auditorium afternoon and evening at least
thrco das each week. These concerts will
Include all classes of music. There will bo
orchestral numbers , solos by noted singers
and oratorios by different choral societies.
The Omaha Exposition chorus will meet at
Hayden's music hall at 8 o'clock tomorrow
night , at which time the beautiful Easter
hymn from Cavallerta Kuatlcana will be
taken up and a portion of the time will
probably be devoted toStalner's "Daughter of
Jalrufi. " This chorus Is meeting with great
encouragement from the singers ot Omaha
and a general Invitation Is extended to all
singers to Join this organization and help
along the good cause. There Is room for
singers In all branches ot the chorus and as a
money saving Investment , the terms offered
would be hard to beat. An entrance fee of
$5 Is required of rach member and In return
for this , In addition to the Instruction which
will bo tecclved during rehearsals , each
member will be furnished with n ticket ad
mitting him to the Auditorium to all con
certs given there. 'As there will bo at least
100 concerts , to which the admission will
never be less than 23 cents , the chorus mem
ber will bo ahead Just $20 In money. One of
the rules provides that simplicity will pre
vail In the matter of drees ; the women will
wear a blue serge sack coat , with pants and
Htraw hat.

The grounds of the main court ot the ex

and \lsltors find considerable difficulty In
mak'ng ' their way about unless they are
athletically Inclined and are fond of Jumping
vcr ditches and other obstructions. Tlie

Is engaged In putting a heavy lrc i rolling

making approaches to the water's edge , pre-
pailng the Island for the embellishment

various other preparation * .
In addition to the work being done upon
.be ground , both above and below , numer
ous woikmcn are encased In putting the
InUhlng touches on the main buildings.
The scaffolding ived by the staff workers
on the Manufactures , Agriculture and Lib
eral ArLs buildings Is being removed and
these three building now take their placic
among the almost completed palaces. In
which class the Mines and Machinery build-
IIRS have been for some time. The Art
Building Is now in the hands of the stafl
workers and rapid progress h promised bj
Smith & Eastman , tbe staff contrators. Thej
will put their entire force on this building
and It will be completed within a very ehori
time.
The government building continues to be
the marvel of nil bfholde.s. The bpeed with
which this Immense structure has taken torn :
tias been the cause of remarks by every per-
aon who \lslts tbe grounds or who passct
In sight of the biilldlng. George Moore &
Sons of Memphis have the carpenter coiv

have the staff contract. The constructloi

Those who secure a view of the bulldlni
from the Inside of the grounds are loud Ii
tholr praise of the great promise of beaut ;
which Is held out. The carpenter vork 01

the dome being almost entirely fin
ished and ths staff work Is making ex
traordlnary progress. The contracto
was seriously dolaetl by failure ti
receive the models from Washington un
til very leccntly , but no time has been los
since these arrived and the finished staff li
being turned out very rapidly. The orna
mentation of this building is cxtrcmel ;
ornate and beautiful. Enough of the etat
Is now on the building to convey a very fal
Uca of the appearance of the finished struc
ture and the classic 'beauty ' of the building t
apparent In every line. The decoration i
on'a broad and heavy scale , giving th1
building a massive appearance and the nlcct ;
with which the details are worked out show
that no little point has been neglected. Th
staff which Is going on the building Is o
.exceptional wlilteness and the casting 1
clear cut , having every appearance of th
finest marble. The entire exterior Is to 'b '
covered with staff and this will add greatl
to the appearance , as the staff is much white
and smoother than the plaster coating whlc
covers the plain surface of the other build
It'is expected that all ot the undergroun
vork In the main court will be complete
within a week and work will then be com
raenccd upon the walks in this part of th

Work on the roadways on the bluff trac

Active work on the Girls' and Boys' build
ing will be commenced at once. Sufficient
funds are In hand or guaranteed to remove
any element of doubt regarding the erection
of this building , and the work of construc
tion will be Inaugurated as soon as the neces
sary preliminaries ran be arranged. It la
estimated that the building will cost about
$7,000 or $8,000 , and the furnishings will cost
about $1,000. To meet this expense the
Woman's Board of Managers now haa In
hand about $3,100 which was raised by sub
scriptions from the school children and $1,000
which was contributed in amounts of $100
by a number ot prominent citizens. It Is
estimated that the profits from The Hatchet
will bo at , leet $1,000 , end this sum will be
turned Into the building fund. In addition
to these amounts a generous oltlzcn of
Omaha , who has contributed liberally to
more than one entci prise , has notified the
women In charge of the movement that he
will bo responsible for $1,000 If It becomes
necessary to call on him to avoid making
changes In the plans ns now laid out.
The members of the board who have been
Interested In making thU building a success
have discovered that It Is one of the most
desirable buildings on the exposition grounds
in tbe e > es of many exhibitors and there
would be no difficulty In eelllnq space In It
sufficient to fill the building. It Is In great
demand by manufacturers of articles for
household use , eppeclall ) those that are de-
nlgned for children , such as Infants' food ,
nursery appliances of all kinds , makers of
health fooJa and the hundreds of other
things which are of especial Interest to
mothers ot joung children anl to the children
themselves. These would-bo exhibitors are
willing to pay a good price lor the privilege
of securing space in this building and a num
ber of them have already been accepted.
The large assembly room on the main lloor
of the building Is in great demand for lec-
tutcs on varioui subjects and good prices
are offered for the use of It.
DECIDE TO GO AHEAD.
With these sources of income In prospect
the members of the executive committee of
the board feel that they will bo perfectly
safe In going ahead with the building , and
it Is probable that there will be a substan
tial balance lo the ledger account when the
exposition closes.
The executl"e romnlttee of the Woman's
oard of Managers his fixed definitely upon
ic plans for the building and full drawings
nd specifications will be laid before ttic
onimtttec at Its meeting Wednesday of the
omlng week. The building will be ap-
roxlmtmately 100 feet square , with a large
sfiembly room In the center ot the main
oor and three rooms at each side of It. A
irgeestlbule in front and a large roomer
or a crccho at the rear v > lll afford ample
oem for the various Interests to be ac-
ommodated. A single room on one elde will
e set apart for the use of girls , and the

HISTORY OF A GREAT FIRM
How the People's ' Furaitura nud Carpet
Company Has Grown.
ELEVEN YEARS OF STEADY PROGRESS
IlcniiMiil to ItHf ( luiirtvrN Ill-calls
It * MoitcNt Mtirt ami Continual
Uimiird Conrno Through
All Condition * .
A little over eleven jears ago the People's
Furniture and Carpet company opened a
small store on iNorth Sixteenth street. To
morrow they will receive their customers
In a magnificent five story block filled from
basement to cornice with one of the most
complete and magnificent stocky that has
ever been shown In any part ot the west.
The change from the unpretentious quarters
covering only 60x90 feet In which the Im
mense business ot the Him had its begin
ning to the luxurious storerooms now did-
played In the Morse block represents what
western pluck and enterprise can accomplish
within the limits of a decade. The original
establishment was scarcely suggestive of the
mammoth proportions to which the business
of the firm subequently developed. But the
members of the firm immediately showed
that they understood what the people wanted.
Their method of doing business made every
visitor to their store a customer and in
a short time their business outgrew the
capacity of the building. Another stoic was
added and this had scarcely been occupied
when another was necessary. The business
increased at a pace that astounded compe
tition and within a few years it was testing
the capacity of five stores. They eventually
occuploJ an entire block on North Sixteenth
street and this answered their requirements
until six years ago , when tl'ey moved Intc
the big Faruam street establishment whlct
they vacated for still more commodious
quarters yesterday. Even then It was only
a little while until they found it nec
essary to rent a warehouse on Harney
street and then another and with the re
vival of business and good crops In Nebraska
a removal to even larger quarters became
necessary.
necessary.REMODEL
REMODEL THE BUILDINC.
Then the 'Morse building was selected a :
offering unlimited facilities for such an es
tablishment as the company proposed tc
maintain. A lease on the big building was
at once executed aud since then It has 'bee ' :
reconstructed at a cost of $22,000. On Six-
I teontli street a new and modern front ha :
'ibcen ' constructed and the seconl story hai
| been brought flush with the street. A now
front has also been put In on the Farnarr
'street ' side and the entlro building has beet
thoroughly renovateU. kalsomlned and Te-
fitted. While this has 'been ' going oa t
continual procession of drays and expicm
wagons have been delivering carload aftei
carload of new stock. Scores of clerks anc
decorators have worked night and day ti
handle this Immense array of goods and ar
range It In readiness for display and tomor
row the people of Omaha will have an op
portunlty to pass judgment on the result
A glance at the Interior of the niagnltlcou
establishment Is sufllcient to Indicate wha
their decision will be. The 160,000 squari
feet of floor surface Is burdened with sucl
a lavish display of handsome furnishing ;
tas has never been seen In Omaha before
i It Includes every Imaginable Item that enter
Into the furnishing of the humblest homo o
the most palatial residence. Here is ev
cr > thing from an egg beater to a foldini
bed and from wooden chairs to the mos
luxurious parlor sets. The Farnam stree
side of the first floor Is entirely occupied t > :
one of the finest displays of crockery tba
has ever been brought to the city. Furthe
on Is an entire department devoted ex
clualvely to rockers ot the latest styles am
every degree of finish and valuo. The re
malning department on this floor Is occu
pled by the stock of silverware , which I
complete to the smallest detail and display
a variety that covers the requirements o
every customer.
ON THE OTIinR FLOORS.
On the second floor Is found the parlo
furniture , beak cases , mirrors and Iron bedj
C.icti of these occupies a distinct departmcn
and these are eo arranged that no matte
how the aisles may bd thrcngcd with visitor
eich customer can select what Is wanted a
a glance.
The ntock of carpptfi and draperies on th
fourth floor IsMn keeping with the other fea
tures of the establishment. It Includes ever
Imaginable shade and pattern , as well a
every grade of value , from cneap matting
and curtains to > the most expensive product
of the looms and the lace maker's act. Ever
foot of the Inaiense building Is occupied , en
even then the firm Is compelled to retal
Itfl warehouses on Hartley street In order t
handle Its stock.
The Immensity of the new undertaking at
pears when It Is understood that every pai
tide of this bewildering display comes dirci
. from the factory. Not a single piece of U

with goods that are exclusively of this year
manufacture. The popular system of selllr
goods either for catn or credit will be coi
tlnued , and fifteen additional clerks hai
been engage 1 to meet the enlarged nccecs
ties of the business.
GENIUS OF THE BUSINESS.
The amount of hard work and enterprtalr
calculation that has been required to but
up such a tremendous business In elevc
yrors can scircely be comprehended. In tl
beginning the firm was able to do buslnei
successfully with two employes. Now It hi
110 people on Its pay roll , and tbo number
constantly Increasing. Where one snv
wagon was once sufficient to deliver tl
goods , It now requires twelve double team
and these are busy every hour of tdo da

John Intenser , whoso name will go down
In fame as the superintendent of construc
tion of the new poatofllce and who Is still In
charge of the remaining work to bo dene la
the building , will henceforth bear a new
title. Instead of being superintendent ot
construction of the Omaha building alone
ho l < s now superintendent of construction of
United States public buildings , with an as
signment to duty on the building here. Tiio
promotion came In a communication from
Secretary Gage jestcrday. To assume the
office Superintendent Latenser vvlll bo re
quired to take a new oath of offlco and t
file a new bond of JIO.OOO.
This appointment Is In conformity with 1ha
reorganization of the ottlco of the supervis
ing architect at Washington. This reorgani
zation lias been gradually taking place during
the last two or three jears. until now the
oftlco Is corsldcred ono of the best man
aged subdepartmraU at Washington. De
partmental olllccra and those who have busi
ness relations with it comment freely upon
Its line working basis and the public gen
erally have recognized that the oldtlma
methods. In which politics iilajccl no Incou-
Hldcrablo part , have been dccio away with.
The effect of the new system is shown tea
a great degree In the fact that the later
postolfico buildings which have been built ,
are being supplied with the latest and most
modern contrivances and are being con
structed after the most Improved fashion.
The Omaha building is an example of thin.
The progreta that was made In the construc
tion of the building is also duo largely < o the
efforts of the attaches of the supervising
architect's office. The upeedy manner lu
which the government building on the ex
position grounds Is being erected Is another
example. The decided Innovation In do'ng
business IK the direct result of the work of
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Spaldlng
and Supervising Architect J. K. Taylor , who
have been working for years past on tha
reoiganlzatlon.
H Is not known how many more Super
intendents of Construction of United States
Public buildings there are , because the ofllco
Is a new one. It Is probable , hoAovcr , that
all superintendents of first Claris structures
will bear the title. All iilch superintendent !
will have difficulty In establishing any fixed
abode , ttlnco they are Ikcly to bo assigned
to duty at some other city at any time.
