bo entered Into negotiations for some strong
'attractions. The musical department of the
exposition Is growing In magnitude and at

of forty men , direct from Theodore Thomas ,
and under the directorship of Arthur Jlees
Mr. Thomas' assistant , there will be no diffi
culty In regard to Instrumental forces , and
this orchestra Is assured now beyond doubt.
Those who predicted failure In securing an
Adequate chorus if $5 had to bo paid have
been Incorrect la their prophecies. The flvo
months of free concerts have loomed up be-

that they wcro receiving the amount of

Strong men and strong women make a nation
strong. Neither can be strong without good
health , and neither can have good health with
out pure blood. This is why Hood's Sarsaparilla -
rilla , America's Greatest Medicine is America's
Greatest Defense. A nation that takes millions
of bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla every year is
building a foundation of health and strength ,
the wisdom of which will surely show itself in
years to come in materially raising the health

of 'the association during the exposition.
When the Nebraska Exposition commis

they act aside a room on the main floor ,
16x33 feet In size , for the use of the Ne

members of the association think this la
not sufficient end they will ask the exposi

on the second floor for representatives of

COLO WEATHER 'AXD ' THE FRUIT.
Orchard * of Ncbraikn In' Good Comll-
, tlon end Uninjured.
Superintendent Taylor of the Horticulture
bureau of the Exhibits department has been
Interested In learning the effect of the recent
cold enap on the fruit trees of this section ,
as the destruction of the budding crop would
seriously Interfere with a successful display
of Nebraska fruit. Ho was especially anx
ious concerning the peach crop , as one of the
events of tbo fruit carnival Is to bo a peach
dar. when the luscious morsels will be.dis
tributed free to all comers , and any blight
to this crop would bo a serious blow to the
success of this feature of the exposition.
A few days ago Prof. Taylor wrote to J. M.
Russell of Wymore , Neb. , the owner of the
largest peach orchard In the state , and asked
about the effect of the cold on the peach
trees. A reply to this letter has just been
received , In which Mr. Russell says that the
frost touched a very few of the buds , but ho
remarks that it was a good thing for the
trees , as tbero were too many buds coming
to assure a good crop of desirable fruit. He
says there will he a very large crop of
peaches beyond question.

Yesterday the ( South .Omaha Live Stock
exchange continued the Introduction of testi
mony before Examiner In Chancery Battin In
the government case in Vhlch the exchange
is threatened with dissolution. Two more
witnesses were examined on the same lines
as the day before and the evidence was sub-
stantlally'to the same effect. When adjourn
ment was taken to Mdnday the defense an
nounced that It had'tgevCTal ' more witnesses
to "bring " 'before ' tho'exa'm'lrior. . '
George Brown , whohas been In the com
mission business in South Omaha and Chicago
cage for thirty-five years , was called as a
witness and gave a history of the causes
which led to the founding of the exchange ,
similar to that told by the former witnesses.
Ho said that there had been much over
charging for grain and other stuff and that
short weight In animals delivered was fre
quent. The exchange did away with these
abuses and drove out of business dishonor
able men. Its fixed charges enable farmers
and stockmen to exactly tell what the cost
of selling stock In South Omaha would be.
The witness said that he had about 200 cus
tomers and thot ho had never heard of ono
complaint about the charges or methods of
the exchange , but all who had said anything
about it had spoken in favor of It.
REFER TO ROOT'S TESTIMONY.
Attorney Mahoney called the attention of
the witness to what Allen Root bad said
In tbe government's hearing. Root cold that
he and the American Live Stock company
had been driven out of business by the ex.
change because tbey had given rebates con
sisting of CO per cent of commissions to ship
pers of stock at the end of six months. This
affected farmers directly , because Root bad
testified that he was the agent of the farm
ers' alliance to sell tbe stock of their mem-
bora.
bora.Mr.
Mr. Brown said In answer to Attorney
Mathcaey'a question that he was a salesman
for the American Live Stock Commission
company at tbe same tlmo with Root and that
the latter was not the regularly appointed
agent of ttio alliance- , although he had net
himself up as its agent. Ho said also that
no more than 10 per cent of the stock of mem
bers of the alliance had ever been consigned
to Root.
Upon cross-examination Mr. Brown said
that ho knew nothing about Root being ap
pointed agent by the alliance at a conven
tion at Grand Island. Ho did not know
whether the American Live Stock Commis
sion company had given rebates to ahlppers ,
because his duties consisted of nothing be
sides celling stock for the company. He
said that the company had not been driven
out of 'business , but had simply gene out of
business because It did not And it profitable.
He had never known of any ca e where buy
ers refused to buy of Root or tbe company.
Once ono buyer had refused to buy from him
self stock consigned to the company and he
had later turned It over to another comtniu-
slon firm to soil It. But he said that he
never know that the company iau' fallen Into
disrepute , which had spread among the farm
ers and that Its business had been thereby
hurt. He had heard oT'lhls only In a general
way.
RATES OF iCOMMISSION.
The witness said the.rates of commission
for selling hogs and * cattle did not vary
whether the market prlcet went up or down.
There had been no cpaag In the rates dur
ing the hard tlmea. , ttlq did not think the
charges should be loweraj In hard times or
If the price of cattle- and hogs went down ,
because the responsibility and tbe work of
the commission men were as great. He said
the rates as they ard'ard reasonably low for
the services of the commission men.
W. N. 'Babcock ' , a menibcr of the exchange
and former general 'hJanagcr of the South
Omaha Stock Yards company , was called. At
present he Is not connected in any way with
the stock business , butl'l * ono of the man
agers of the exposition Ho considered the
exchange facilitated rather than retarded
the business. Mr. iHahoOck said , too , that
be had never heard ta.oyt complaint against
the system usej by the exchange , but every
one seemed to be satisfied. He stated that
the system of docking Is in favor of the
seller. He had heard more complaint from
the purchaser regarding the docking than
from the seller.
Upon cross-examination Dlalrlct Attorney
Sawyer attempted to show that the stock
yards company and the exchange were inti
mately connected. Mr. Babcock said , how
ever , that tke yard company had no niora
Interest In the shipper than In the exchanges ,
but wanted to see good terms between both ,
for its own interests. In this connection he
said that he had never beard of any com
plaint made by shippers themselves of the
charges of the stock yards company for feed.
All complaints resulting in suits and the
schedule of charges parsed by the last legis
lature bad teen gotten up by politicians and
legislators.
"Were not legislators representatives of
the people ? " asked the district attorney.
"They ct themselves up u representative *
The following are characteristic Hood's
Sarsaparilla testimonials. They tell of things
worth telling :
"An eruption came oa my neck below my
left car , which caused mo much annoyance ,
* nd as It continued to grow worse , I finally
became alarmed. It reftised to yield to
ordinary treatment , and I consulted a phy
sician who pronounced It a severe case of
eczema. He said It would take a long tlmo
to cure It. I followed his prescriptions for
eight months , and not obtaining any relief ,
1 went to another physician , He also called
the trouble eczema , and said It was the
worst case ho ever saw. I obtained no relief
from uie'Jlclnes and became very anxious.
One day I asked my druggist If ho had a
medicine that would do me good. He ex
amined my neck and said If anything would
cure me It was Hood's Sarsaparilla. lie ad-
vUe'J mo to purchase three bottles and I
did so , and began taking the medicine. In
a short time there was a decided Improve
ment , and I continued the use of Hood's
so thankful for what Hood's Sarsaparilla
Sarsaparilla until a complete cure had been
effected. It Is now four years since I was
afflicted and no symptom of > the disease has
ever returned. Hood's Sar&aparllla baa

of the people , " but they were not , " was the
answer.
"Wero you not In the state senate ? "
"Not the ono which passed the stock yards
bill. "
Regarding the docking , Mr. Babcock said
that it prevented disagreements between
buyer and seller and hastened business.
Neither party had a disadvantage , because
a decker Is disinterested. Ho said that the
decker might Just as well bo employed by
agreement between buj-er and seller as
through the exchange , "but " ho 'insisted that
the buyer and seller have practically the
same say about the appointment of a decker ,
oven though It Is made directly by the ex
change , in answer to a question from At
torney Mahoney he said that a decker by
agreement would be as much a monopoly 03
through the exchange.
Mr. Babcook admitted that the business
of the yards could be done without an ex
change and by the commission men alone ,
but be maintained that the vast amount of
buylnz and selling transacted dally could
be done only under some system of rules like
that of the exchange. Mr. Babcock did not
think that the exchange had a monopoly
because some stockmen consign stock to
themselves and sell it. He called to mind
two men who. did ( his during the eight years
ho wns connected with the stock yards. He
admitted , however , that there wore no com
mission men doing business In South Omaha
who were not members of the exchange.
Tbe hearing was adjourned until Monday
afternoon.

city council and asserted that so far as this
campaign had been concerned no one had
questioned his public record , which had been
above reproach and criticism. He said that
ho stood before the people with perfectly
clean hands , no boodle ever having passed
through them. His dally bread , ho asserted ,
was earned by honest toll , and he woultj
rather have the respect and confidence of
the residents of the Magic City than any
offleo la the gift of Us people. Referring to
ante-election promises Mr. Barrett said that
if ho was elected And failed to carry out
the promises made he uaturally expected to
forfott the respect and confidence of the
people. In connection with labor matters
Candidate Barrett stated that he had always
stood on tbo side of organized labor and
that should there be any trouble here whllo
ho was mayor he would not call out the
militia , as had been done by a former mayor ,
but he would ask the lalior organizations
to dotall htm men for special police work.
Thcso special police , he said , should be tax
payers and bo men of responsibility and
standing. Should the labor organizations at
tempt to destroy property he would do all
In his power to protect the Interests of the
citizens and taxpayers. He claimed that the
citizens demanded a change In the official
management of affairs and he promised a
good , cleen , economical government If elected.

EXPLOSION LIT CITV ( JASVOUKS. .
Eimt Wnll of tinUoltnliiK Mount !
Illomi Out.
An explosion at the city gas works shortly
after 8 o'clock last night destroyed a small
sccilon of the works used as a purifying
rcom nnd Inflicted damages amounting to
about $300.
The explosion was of sudlclcnt violence to
bo litYml uptown and the flash of 'bright
light that accompanied It was visible for a
long distance. Apprehension that a serious
accident had occurred was strengthened by
the gradual dying down of gas juts all over
town and was further Intensified by a double
flro alarm that was turned In , two boxes lu
the vicinity of the works being pulled.
The room In which the purifiers arc housed
Is separated from the main building by a
solid brick wall with but ono opening and Is
located at the cast end of the works. It Is
ono story high and had walls of brick. The
east wall of this room was blown out ami
fell Into the street. ParL of the roof waa
thrown off on the north side , but the main
part of It settled down oyer the purlfycrs ,
completely covering them.
A portion of the roof was composed of tar
paper with tinder-dry timbers. The flames
from the explosion Ignited this debris and
there were excellent chances for n good fire.
Before the fire department arrived employes
about the works had the names extinguished
by the use of the hose at the building.
The cause of the accident could not bo
ascertained last night. At the time of the
explosion there were none of the cmployea
In the room or near It. The night foreman ,
Mr. Whaley , was in the opposite end of the
worhs and the other men were about the
furnaces in the generating room , and the
first Intimation they had of the trouble was
the jar of the explosion. This was Just suffl.
clent to prcstrato tto outer walls and lay
the bricks Into the street without disjoint
ing the wall , leaving the surface as smootll
as a paved street.
Where the gas came from that caused the
mischief Is a mystery. It Is supposed that
some of the purifyers sprung a leak and
cnoucb gas escaped to fill the room , but
what Ignited It Is an unsolved problem. With
the purifiers hidden from view by piles of
debris It was feared that serious damage hail
been done and the gas was shut off for a
snort time. A strong presauro was applied
without developing any leak and the gas
was permitted to flow on again Into the city
mains.
Men were set to work at once In cleaning
up the debris and the accident will not ln-
terefero at all with the operation of the
plant.

Itriiifillcii for

The national disease of Americans Is Indi
gestion or in KH chronls form , dyspepsia ,
and for the very reason that It Is KO common
many people neglect taking proper treatment
for what they consider trilling stomach
trouble1 when as a matter of fact , IndlRca-
tlon lays the foundation for many Incurable
dlacadca. No person with a. vigorous , heal
thy stomach will fall a victim to consump
tion. Many kidney dUcabes and heart
troubles date their beginning from poor di
gestion ; thin , nervous people are really no
because their stomachs are out of gear ;
weary , languid , faded out women ewe their
condition to Imperfect digestion.
When nearly ovcry person you meet la
afflicted with weak digestion It Is not sur
prising that nearly ovcry secret patent ined-
Iclno on the market claims to be a euro ton
dyspepsia , as well as a score of other
troubles , when In fact , as Dr. Worthier sayn ,
there U but one genuine dyspepsia euro
which Is perfectly safe and reliable , and
moreover , this remedy Is not a patent medi
cine , but It Li a scientific combination of
pure pepsin ( free from animal matter ) , veg
etable. eteenccB , fruit salts and bismuth. It
la sold by druggists under nanio of Stuart'n
Dyspcrola Tablets. No extravagant claims
are made for them , but for Indigestion or
any stomach trouble , Stuart's Dyspepsia
T-iblcta are far ahead of any remedy jet dis
covered. They act on tbo food ratcii , no
dieting Is necessary , simply eat all the whole-
soxo food you want and thcso tablets will
digest It. A cure results , because all the
stomach needs Is a rest , which Stuart'u Dys.
