OEARING FopnllHlH Too Mnnjr for the Dcmo- crnlH When the Time Come * to Vole on the 1'lnce So ' Many Wanted. ' The election of an assistant secretary of the Nebraska Exposition commission to Oil ( he vacancy caused by the resignation of W. II. Dcarlng after his appointment as as- fcstan' ! phyfilclEn at the Hcepltat for the In- tti.o at Norfolk , developed one of the neatest little skirmishes on the outskirts of the approaching preaching state campaign that has been eecn In these parts for some time. J. N. Campbell of Fullerton , a populist , waa elected to nucceed Gearing , and there Is a great deal of dissatisfaction In the ranks of the popccrats over the outcome of the scrim mage. The most active candidates for the position to be filled were J. N , Campbell , J , O. P. Hlldcbrand of Lancaster county and D. S. Uttlcficld of Otoc county. Campbell u : > \ Llttlcflcld arc populists nnd Hlldebrand la n democrat. The latter's application was en dorsed by the entire democratic machine of the state , Including the ofHcem of the elate committee , Nebraska members Of the na- tlora' committee , ind oumerots others promi nent In the councils of the parly In this etatc. Governor Holcomb alno look a hand In thu matter , but there appears to be considerable uncertainly os to Just wtiat the governor wanted In this connection. Judge Neville eald the governor had asked that the commis. slon do nothing In the mailer of electing a euocfssor to Dearlng until he could consult with the members of the commission. The governor was In the city Tuesday eight , but did not appear at the Mlllard hotel , where the meeting of the commission wan held , anil lie authorized a denial of the statement that ho had nsked the commission to delay ac tion. Secretary Porter was said to be arms.1 with a letter from the governor , however , to the effect that he cndorccd Campbell and ho showed this letter to members of the commission after the meeting had adjourned. After adjournment the members of the commission remained about the office until midnight , each member being butlonholed by a supporter of one of the candidates or by the candidates themselves. Campbell , Llttlcflcld nnd Hlldebrand were there and Secretary of State Porter took an active In terest In the vigorous "log rolling" which . was In progress. HALLOTING HEGINS PROMPTLY. The commission convened again at 9 o'clock yccterday morning and about the first mallet taken up was the acceptance of Dearlng's resignation and the election of his uucccssor. An informal wrltte.ru . ballot was first taken , resulting llko this : I \ E. Dlcfendorf of llutler county , 1 ; J. N. Campbell , 2 ; I ) . S. iLlltlellcld. 1 ; J. G. P. Hlldebrand , 2. Dlofemlorf was Caspers man and hlawas the one vote cast forhim. , Neville nnd Poynter voted for Campbell , Button voted for LHtle- fleld and Uoydston and Whltford volcd for Hlldebrand. The second ballot resulted : Dlcfcndorf , 1 ; Campbell. 3 : Ltttlcfleld , 1 ; Hlldcbrand , 1. A third ballot was ordered and this gave Campbell a majority , the vote < bclng llko this : Campbell , 4 ; Llttlctlcld. 2. AVhltford and Doydston voted for Lllllcfleld end the other members vpted for Campbell. This removed a large eiecucnt of Intercs' from Iho proceedings of Iho commission and when the "pie committee" announced that it had not come to any conclusion on the allotment of the spoils and would not make any report until the next meeting the lobby quickly van In lied and the members were left fllono In their glory. In addition to the Interest created In the proceedings of ttie commission by the knowl edge that there would be a more or lea. generous distribution of npolls and clicnces for jobs the meeting of the board was made lucre Interesting by the fact that all super intendents of departments , , were- ordered to tubtnlt reports showing the expense of their departments , both up to date rtid In prospect , Superintendent Dawcs of the Institute for the Deaf asked for an allowance of $100 for buying material for making show cases in which to place the exhibit of Iho Institution , the cases to be made by the boys In the manual training department. This was allowed. Miss Mcllona ButtcrfleM. superintendent of the Art department made a verbal repart regarding tbo decoration of the Nebraska 'building ' , Including tbe tinting of the walla , carpeting the floors of the rooms , etc. , her estimate of the probable expense being $3,900. As the committee to determine the uses to which the rooms areto be devoted had not rcparted , Miss Hutterfleld said she could not make an exact report and the matter was laid over until after this committee shall have reported. At this point the board decided to go Into executive acfcslon and the room was cleared of everybody except members of the com mission. In executive session the report of the superintendent of live stock was received nnd filed for future reference. It was de cided to lay off all the carpenters , Including the superintendent of construction , and Mr. Whltford wau appointed a committee of one to supervise the completion of the Nebraska building. In view of the fact that a car penter will be needed for the construction of wall space In the building , repairs , etc. , the commission decided to unite this posi tion with that of timekeeper at the time keeper's salary. Bookkeeper Althen's salary wco raised from $65 to $75. EX1IIIIITS IX MNK OF ICI > BCTHICITY. I'rof. OwenH lleportH on the Work ol IIlN Department. Prof. n. D.

A plan is now under consideration by Prtildemt Wattlca and Major Clarkson to furnish some kind of accommodations for the numerous bodies of troops of the militia of the several et.ites which have signified their desire to ccrnc to Omaha during tlio exposition. Investigations are being made < o determine whether tu liable ground for a military camp can bo secured In some con- vtofent location" and estimates are being prepared of the probable cxpenae-of such a " noverncnt. No definite plans have bee"h put- Ined as yet , but It Is probable that some irrangcmcnts will be made to accommodate he visiting military In a suitable manner. Waiting on the LeK Secretary ChaEo''of the Iowa Exposition Commission writes to the Department of Ex hibits that the commission cannot tike any iirther action regarding closing up Us ap- illcatlon for space until the legislature takes definite actltu In the matter of nn approprla- .lon.Thla letter was In reply to one sent a 'eways ! ago by Manager Hrtfo calling the attention of the lowu commission to tbe pal- wblo fact that the space asked for by that > ody could not be held Indefinitely 'n the "nco of the demands of other parties for space. \VnntH to Revive the 1'ren * Clnli Major Clarkson , assistant to the president , s strongly In favcr of reviving the Omaha Prcio club and establishing a press head- iuarter where reprceantatlvea of the news papers of th ? country may feel at tiomo and meet their colleagues.

( lend Word from GeorRln. ATLANTA , Ga. , March 9. At a meeting of the Omaha exposition commission and the citizens of Atlanta In the Chamber of Com merce it was decided to have an exhibit at the Omaha exposition consisting of a display of the resources of Georgia. Ex-Governor Northen was Instructed to telegraph to the president of the Omaha exposition to reserve for the Georgia building. NotcH of the UxpoHltlon. The business men ot the Twin Cities Minneapolis and St. Paul are showing great Interest In exposition affairs. The Georgia Exposition commission has ( lied a formal application for -3,000 square feet of ground space on which to erect a state building. T. Mizutany of Chicago , representing the Japanese Central Tea association , Is In the city negotiating with the exposition authori ties for a concession for a Japanese tea gar den and a Japanese exhibit. A generous attendance of Minnesota visitors Is now assured. The press and people of the state are rapidly awakening to the Importance and magnitude of the approaching preaching great exposition. The proposed Minnesota building will show a structure with peaks and gables , wide verandas , built of logs , lumber , cut and rough stone , rubble work of stone and Iron ore , brick and other products of the state. The Estey Organ ccmpany applied by tele graph for 1.G30 square feet of space for an exhibit ot pianos and orgalns. The applica tion was accepted In the same expeditious manner cand a fine exhibit Is In prospect by this firm. The secretary of the "Minnesota " commission reports many applications and Inquiries for space and concessions. As the North Star state Is a community rich In natural re sources and peopled by an enterprising populace , much may be expected from that section. Hon. John L. Glbbs , president of the Min nesota commission , is ono of the good old war horses of the state , In whoTe hands work and ImposcJ duties never lag. The secretary of the commission , E. L. Danforth , Is an active and capable young man , who will make a record In the field before him. The prospect for a New York state building seems to bo very cjicouraglng. There Is a balance of about $5,000 In the appropriation made by the legislature for state participa tion In the Nashville exposition , and Special Commissioner Wheeler Is commencing opera tions to make thU money available for the erection of a building. The Self-Lifting Elevator company of Lima , 0. , has applied for space for Installing one ol Its machines. Superintendent Hardt Is con sidering the advisability of having two or three of these machines Installed In each ol the main buildings for the m > o ot people \vhc do not wish to walk up cud down the slope leading to the gallarles. "Plgs-ln-Clover" has been revived In be half of the exposition. In Its new form the game haa sixteen different colored balls. The object la to separate the balls , getting clghl of two colors on each side ot the lagoon acroes the central bridge , and then putting four of each color ID the proper compartmenti Ui the 'corners.

Mr. Mansfield's brief engagement at the Boyd came to an end with two performances yesterday , "Beau Brummell" being presented at the matinee and "A Parisian Ro- inanco" In the e\onlng. Bolh plays have been seen hcio so often under like auspices hal exlcndcd comment either upon them or pen the manner of their presentation Is inncccssary at this time. Each Is perfect n Its own way , and there Is keen artistic leaauro In anything Mr. Mansfield may eo fit to offer. It Is not unlikely that this eminent actor may revisit Omaha during the summer. Ne- gollallons are now In progress lo that end with excellent chances for a successful out come. A tour of tbo Pacific coast Is con- cmplated which will bring the organlza- : lon back hero early In July. A stay of a ycck or even longer at that time would "oubtlcss prove exceedingly remunerative , nd It is to be hoped that arrangements may > o fully perfected. , 'Mr. ' Wilson Enos and Mr. H. D. Blake- lore , late of the Frawley company , arrived n Omaha early In the week and are actively ngaged In rehearsals with the Woodward lompany , with which they will be Idcnll- cd during the coming spring and summer. iVlth their assistance such plays as "Tho Ensign , " "Tho Charity Ball , " "Shcnandoah" nd many others will be worthily presented , nd much pleasure Is thereby Insured lo Omaha theater-goers. The admirable quality of the Frawley com- wny and Us Individual members Is well mown and widely recognized. Its season losed last week In New Orleans. Mr. Enos ill bo remembered for his capable handling if "heavy" and "character" parts and Mr. Blakcmcro as the comedian of the organl- : ation. New Yorkers who have become Inleresled n Ihe seamy side of life In Ihls counlry al- iays find delight In Edward Harrlgan. Ho news his New York as Dickens knewhlo Condon and ho selects for his plays , us Dickens chose for his novels , many charac- 'era that creep close to the tender hearts' f the real people. In "Old Lavender , " which , vlll bo seen at Boyd's theater tonight for a Ingle performance , Mr. Harrlgan has ecullar advantages to show his remarkable ileverncss as a character actor. Many of Ills admirers who have seen him In evcry- hlng ho has put on the stage consider it the icst thin. . ' ? he does. In early life Mr. Harrl- ; an used to work around the river fronts s n calkec. "Old Lavender" Is founded upon i well known character who used to haunt ho docks. We see him In one act In a club house , entertaining the rogues who are to "estroy him , and .Ihen discharged as a sup- osed thief from his brother's banking house. iVo follow him through two more acts as a "Iscouragqd drunkard , sleeping on piers and afts in the river. His wanderings and suf- 'erlngs are as painful a timperanco lesson s ever was preached. People who want to ce a bit of realism la the actual life of their ) wn city , such as they , perhaps , never dreamed of , should see Mr. Harrlgan In this lay.

Smith of Sheridan ald : "Wo hold the world's record for the largest production ot potatoes to the acre 970. bushels. Of course everything is irrigated with us , and it seems queer to Wyoming people to hear of anyone depending on rains for water. Wyoming Is comlnK to be a great wheat raising coun try and with wheat at the present price the financial outlook Is quite promising. Game Is very plentiful about Sheridan , so plentiful In fact that In summer wo have numerous hunting parties from the east. Sheridan is a popular place for Yellowstone park tourists to leave the rallroadiand , buy lOutflts for liaising Iho park trip. .TO ECO. Yellow stone park properly It Is necessary to take considerable time and not have to depend on liverymen and guides. People who do tbo park In a short tlmo miss many points of Interest. A whole summer could bo spent there very profitably and some new wonder could be found every day. " "Many people arc Inclined to make light of Governor Plngrce's 'potato patch' Idea and think that he has not done what ho Is cred ited with having done for the masses , " said i Detroit man who Is In the city. "This Is a mistake ; Governor Pingree really has been a great philanthropist In many ways. The reason of his great popularity is that he Is always to bo found standing up for right and justice. In the matter of carFare Faro he secured a great concession from the corporation that owns tbo lines In Detroit before ho would throw his Iniluemce to have Its franchise extended. Worklngmen can now buy eight-ride tickets for 25 cents. These tickets are good from G till 7 o'clock In the morning and about the same hours at night , being essentially a laboring man's ticket. Governor Plngreo's Idea of having the poor cultivate vacant city lots Is ono that Is far-reaching In Its Influence. In De troit this plan has worked very successfully. Property owners havo.gladly granted the use of vacant lots and charitably Inclined people have hired Instructors to teach needy poor how to plant dnd care for potatoes and all kinds ot vegetables. Besides yielding a food supply and giving work to those who are willing to do what they can , this scheme gives the tenement classes a little glimpse of farm life and leads eomo of them to leave the cities and go to 'tho country. Stu dents ot sociology think that the only means of doing away with poverty In the over crowded cities Isto Induce tenement-dwel lers to colonize In farming districts. The Salvation Army has already established such a colony In California and tbcro Is another In Arkansas. Of course this movement will not appeal to many whom it Is Intended to reach because they would rather starve In their present surroundings than work , but there are many really worthy poor who will bo glad of an opportunity to go where they can be self-supporting.

It isn't so much of a trick for us any more to sell a good suit of clothes for ten or twelve dollars , but it is a trick that very few clothiers have learned to sell a suit for five dollars and have it good. Amongst the many good things in our line of Spring suits are three different patterns that we are offering for a five dollar bill. One is a handsome ( handsome enough to bring ten dollars in some stores ) light grey plaid of all wool Cheviot made up with drab Italian lin ings , medium cut vest and stylish full fashioned three button round corner sack coat with pants cut graduating , according to the latest style. Wo don't have any idea that these suits will be hero two months from now so we thought we would call your attention to them today while we have them and while we can lit you and while you have plenty of time to see 'em. Another { ! good thing for you to look up is a splendid black wide wale worsted which we are offering at seven dollars and which you Avill say when you see it is as good a one as you ever saw for ten dollars even in this store of better values than Han bo found else"- where. Another excellent value is but what's the use talkin' . We have so many extraordinary values this spring that we couldn't begin to tell about them , What we want you to do is to come and see. See ? Our spring styles In tailor made Suits nro attarctlnff a great deal of attention of Omaha's best dressed Indies. There Is a distinctive style and beauty about our Suits that please nil.
