Detailed plans for the Illumination of the
exposition grounds linvc been completed.
They disclose a comprehensive Rchcmo In
harmony with the architecture and sur-
roiindlncs of the exposition. The general
plan In unique In character and unlike any
thing heretofore , done. This work has been
In do hands of Luther M. Stlcrlngcr of
New York , ono of the foremost electricians
In this country. Ho has been connected with
the Illumination features of all the great
expositions In this country and Is known In
electrical circles for the magnificent effects
he has accomplished in the Illumination of
beautiful Bcttln . . He Is attached to the
Transmlsslsslppl and International Exposi
tion as consulting electrical engineer and
haa spent several weeks In this city decid
ing upon the piano for the Illumination of
the entire grounds. Mr. Stlcrlnger was
especially captivated with the magnificent
opportunity for electrical Illumination af
forded by the beautiful setting of the main
court. He declared repeatedly and enthusi
astically that no electrician had ever been
offered the grand opportunities for enchant
ing effects that arc embodied In the ar
rangement of the buildings constituting this
portion of the grounds.
y.s words can .idequttcly convey the
beauty of the scene which will open before
the visitor to the exposition grounds. In
candescent lights will form the solo source
of Illumination In the main court. The soft
glow of these fairy lamps will make every
nooli and corner , every pillar and pilaster ,
each arch and dome glow with a soft light ,
tirlnelne out all the latent beauty of the
classic architecture and making the whole
eceno resemble a dream of beauty. No cold
glare from an arc light will disfigure the
eccne and add a harsh clement to the soft
and rhythmic beauty of the picture. The arc
lamps used for Illuminating the interior of
the main buildings will bo so placed that
no direct rays from them will pass out of any
of the windows to strike the visitor like a
discordant note.
OUTLINED IN LIGHT.
Incandescent lights will bo everywhere.
Each building will bo outlined with glowing
bulbs. The architectural features of each
classic structure will be emphasized with an
array of lights. Along the cornice , around
each window , ahout the cap of each column
and pilaster , outlining each dome and pln-
nacie. will bo seen the electric firefly , its
Kott glow bilnglug out the beauty of the
architecture of whUh it will appear a corn-
potent part.
Surmounting the posta of the railing
around the lagoon will bo clusters of the
tiny bulbs and neat standards placed near
the fronts of the main buildings will sup
port similar clusters , all throwing a radiant
clew over the scene. The bridges across
the lagoon , tbc Island In the center , the
colonnades between the buildings , all will
bo outlined with light.
A striking feature of the illumination will
be 'tho fountain at the west end of the
lagocu. At the base of the west lobe of the
trefoil forming the Mirror will fltand a
handsome column supporting a statue of
the water god , Neptune. This column will
be of artistic design , Its bsso being formed
of four prows of Norse vessels. The figure
of Neptune will be of heroic size , and the
entire decoration will be In keeping with
the beautiful and stately Government build
ing , which will form the backgroi-ad for the
column. About the base of this column
will bo Innumerable jets of n > arkllng water ,
rising and falling at the command of the
sovereign- . Standing guard about these vary-
in ? forms will bo a chain of water lilies ,
each bud bearing within Us petals a bulb ,
which will glow and flash when darkness
covers the scene , keeping watch that none
of the fparkllng fluid passes out of the
confines of the chain. At night this fountain
will be a marvel of beauty. Deams ot vari
colored light will bombard it from a hidden
eourco and the glittering globules will as
sume all the hucfl of the rainbow at tbc
bidding ot Neptune's rival , the god of Elec
tricity.
SEARCHLIGHTS IN PLAY.
Adding to the enchanting beauty ot the
rccno will be the effects produced by search
lights. Powerful rays will glance and gilt-
ter on surrounding objects , making then :
stand out In the .darknoso with startling
distinctness. The beautiful glided dome ol
tlu > Government building , surmounted by c
gigantic statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World , will be made to sparkle and glow it
the rnyn ot the searchlight llko a ball ol
firo. end other starling effects will be pro
duced In various parts of the grounds b >
means of the searching rajs ot these power
ful creations of recent Invention.
The electrical cffecto In the other parte
of the grounds will be exceedingly prcttj
nd every portion will be brilliantly lighted
The Illumination ot the grounds end build'
Ings will > bo made on a scale unexcelled ever

Mmre. Klrkendall , Itoiewater and Wattles ,
and a committee from the Building Trades
council , Mensrs. Orecn , Shrum and Dell , re
sulted In n amicable agreement on all points
ot difference. The Building Trades council
had charged that the electrical bureau was
employing laborers to make the boxes tot
underground conduits and that the wages be
ing paid electrical workers did not comply
with Ibo union scale.
After a conference lasting but a short
time all differences were adjusted and It
was.agreed that carpenters should bo em
ployed for all work that can be classified as
carpenter work , those employed to receive
the regular ec.ile for carpenters. 'Hcgardlng '
the cleclrleal workers a compromise was
agreed oa. The men who have been em
ployed have been working ten hours ami
have been receiving $2.25 and $2.50 per day ,
according to their etnclc-icy. It was agreed
that those working on tbc outside shall re
ceive $2.50 per day and those working Inside
shall receive $2.2G per day , eight hours to
constitute a day's work , and overtime , not
exceeding two hours , to bo paid for at the
same ra'c. The contention of the labor rep
resentatives was that these men should re
ceive 30 cents per hour and that eight hours
should constitute a day's work.

Henry .E. Dosch of Portland , Ore. , a mem
ber of the Oregon Exposition commission ,
who visited Omaha recently to rcake ar
rangements for participation by his state In
the exposition , has Imparted to his col
leagues a measure ot the enthusiasm which
ho Imbibed whllo In Omaha. IIr. Dosch Is
M expert In exposition work , having been
at the head -movements In his state for
showing to the world the resources of Oregon
and the expedition with which he trancactcd
bualne&s In Omaha was a proof of his
familiarity with the subject. iHe came with
full power to decide whether his state should
take part or not. He looked over the ground
and within twenty-four hours had deter
mined upon the plan and scope of that
state's participation , had selected his space
In the several bulldJnga , aggregating 6,000
square feet , selected a site for the Oregon
building , telegraphed the Portland papers
what he 5d done and started for home.
That ho did not rent when he reached home
Is shown by the reports In the newspapers.
As soon as ho reached home a meeting of the
Oregon commission was called at Portland
a'.id ' ( Mr. Dcsch submitted his report to his
colleagues. Concerning this meeting the
Portland Oregon Ian has this to say :
'Mr. Dosch , who will have general superln-
tendency of the Oregon display nt Ihe Transi.
mlsslsslppl fnlr , 1ms returned from a Hying
trip to the exposition city. He Is fully en
thused nbout the fair and when he
had madci his verbal report to the
committee their , collective and Individual
stock of knowledge was crcatly Increased.
Mr. Dosch. by good luck and friendly asslst-
nce , wet holit ot the best available .space
ft which had been cot aside for certain
tales , but for which contracts had not been
losed In time. Oregon secured Ihe ullo al-
ivvcd for Iowa , but as Iowa's representa-
vca did not show up on tlmo the prefer-
nco wus given to Oregon.
II. n. H.irdt , a former I'ortlandcr , now of

ilnce In his heart for Oregon and was anx-
ou to Blvo thlt slide the besl advantages

5osch had conditionally bargained for n
eslrablo slto fern "Oregon cabin" for
eadntiarters and rpace for the mining ills-
lay the governor and secretary of state o
owa. walked Into the room and announced
hey would conmlcte the arrangements for
owa's space. The feelings of Ihe executive
an bo better Imagined than described when
> Ir. Dosch informed him that Oregon was
o have representation there. It afforded the
xectitlve commlltee no .cmall amount o
atisfactlon to ascertain lhat this stale hai
ecurpd ( re-serve room on Ilic Rrouml lloo

The exposition grounds continue to prc-

hanges which are being made In the gcn-
ral appearance of every part ot the groundo
ro being wrought with great rapidity. A
arge force of men la employed In the main
ourt. largo gcngs being busily engaged In
etttng electric light standards , planting
hrubbcry , making roadwajs , and doing the
ttousand-and-eae things which arc ncccs-
ary to furnish a proper setting for the
cautltul buildings which stand out In bold
ellef en every side.
The contractor for the docking about the
agoon has covered each pot ot the railing
with a handsome form of staff and the
icavy Iron rail between the posts has been
antcd ! black. At the east end of the lagocn
heavy balustrade Is being put in place and
a coping ono foot In width will soon ex-
end all around the lagoon.
Work has been commenced on tbo bridges
which will span the lagoon at Twentieth
treet. The planklag has been torn away
rom the banks at this point end solid con-
reto pler.j will be constructed at each side
> f the lagoon and at each side of the Island.
Ugh arched 'bridges will rest on these
piers and add very materially to the beauty
of the scene.
PUT ON FINISHING TOUCHES.
The statuary on the Administration arch

a very few days and. ready for occupancy.
The staff contractors are cleaning up a few
odds and ends about tbc base of the 'buildi '

main entrance Is being put down.
The contractor , who will calsomlne the
Interior of the other main buildings , is in
stalling hla' compressed ah ? machlna In the
Machinery and Electricity building and will
commence work at cnce. Dy the aid of
: hcae comprctsed air machines the exposed
woodwork of the large buildings will be
covered at a very rapid rate with a coat of

pleasing appearance and Increasing the
amount of light to a remarkable degree.
It IIES been decided to gild the dome of

Faincn opened bids for this work yesterday.
The bids were as follows : Alexander &

architect.
Superintendent Farnan has received In
structions to make , provision for the han

guns , ono or both being provided with dis
appearing carriages for coast defense use
and It will bo necefuary to change the
railway tracks at the south side of the
grounds In order to unload the guns from
the cars to the 'building , and It will also
bo necessary to take out a section of the
south wall of the Government building to
allow the passage of the guns. >
OUT ON THE MIDWAY.
Tbo Midway Is beglcnlng to take on a
most animated apearance. As a rule the
structures which will appear along this por-
tlca of the grounds are ot such character
that they may be erected within thirty days ,
and for that reason little has been done
heretofore In this direction , but work has
now started and the West Midway Is ono
ot the busiest places In the entire exposi
tion. Lumber and workmen are on every
sldo and within a few days the whole ap
pearance of this part of the groundo will bo
changed. Work has been commenced on the
Pabst pavilion , the Cyclorama , Shooting the
Chutes , the wild west show and Cosmopolls.
In addltlcn to this , work Is being pushed on
the big Transportation and Agricultural Im.
Dlemcot building and the lumber for thla
covers the ground for a considerable dis
tance on all sides.
On the bluff tract there to another eccne
of bustle and activity. The viaduct leading
from the north tract to the 'bluff tract Is
nearly completed and the same Is true o !
the Power plant. Two more buildings In the
Moorish village have been started , the mystic
maze and the Illusion buildings. The res
taurant buildings at the east end ot the
main viaduct are growing rapidly and the
viaduct Is making good progress. The
building of Montgomery Ward & Co. Is de
veloping slowly id ) the Wisconsin building
Is beginning to appear in evidence. Road
making Is progressing on this tract and the

That cold wave was a little late In com
ing , but it got here , and some six Inches ol
'
snow came also. The snow storm Is a mcst
welcome feature Just at this Juncture. The
1
reports received last night are incomplete ,
jut they indicate that the fall covers tbc
fi ft f whole of the winter wheat belt of the state :
i If this Is true it is of Immense value to
Nebraska. Quite an Increase In acreage ol
winter wheat was sown last fall , and the
season so far has been most favorable to It ,
The spring has been a little dry , and there
was some danger of the grain suffering from
lack ot moisture , and from the dust covering
It so that the shoots could not push uf
through. This snowfall will do much tc
remove any possibility of danger from the
sources feared , and Insure the crop for the
harvest.
Tn Omaha not a little Inconvenience wac
experienced as a result of the storm , tut II
was more of an anncyanco than a serious
complication. The street railway company

An Indication of the local Interest In Spain
s shown in tile denaad for Kiformat'lon re
garding that country and the present crisis
which conies to the Omaha Public library.
The assistant librarian nl < ] recently that
uqulrles tor literature on the situation have
icon coming In a perfect fl ° c4 during the
aat few weeks. At The present time all
departments of the library , reading rooms ,
cfercnco rooms and general circulation
helves have all they can do to supply ma-
crlal on Spain , Cuba anJ the resources for
war of our own government.
The dally newspapers , with their facilities
or serving news of the hour , are the mcst
agcrly sought , and the Hacks where they are
filed are constantly engaged , with other
patrcAis waiting for their use. There Is al-
neat an equal pressure upon the reading
aWes on which a large number ot magazines
have been deposited which formerly were
Esucd by card. The periodicals devoted to
clence , politics , economics and sociology are
all well Blocked with matter treating of the
luestton , as It touches their chcscn field and
hey are valued for the prominence of the
contributors and the lack of feeling' aud
prejudice which often colors the accounts In
wwspapers.
In the general reading shelves investigators
; ave discovered a very creditable library on
Spain. The card catalogue shows that the
ubjcct is covered Jby ninety different
oluraca. These are entirely works of his-
ory and travel , and do not Include biography
vhlch Is Indexed only under the name of the
ndlvldual. IMany people who have shown
Ittlo Inclination formerly for such pursuits
lave gone quite deeply into this mass of
material. Others who become Interested In
he subject in an effort to fee intelligent re
garding Ak-Sur-iDen , king of Qulvera. have
continued their researches Into Spanish ex
peditions into the American continent. Frcon
'Tho Spanish Conquest of America. " by
Helps ; the "Papers ot the- American Histor-
cal Society" acid other Americana , they have
raced the progress of ICortez , DeSoto and
2oronada.
Among the volumes of travel and descrip
tion devoted to Spain the library beasts of a
valuable , Illustrated edition of Joseph Fen
nel's "Alhambra. " Other similar books
which are popular are Von IMoltko's "Letters
" ' Tours In Spain
on Travels in Spain , 'iLazy
and tElsewhere , " Moultoa ; "Red Letter Days
Albroad , " Stoddard ; "Travels In , Spaln and
Morocco , " Flnck ; 'ttcross the Country of the
Little King , " Lent. Two excellent books tor
toys of the same character are , "Tho 'Boy '
Travelers in Southern Spata , " by Knox , and
"A Family Flight Through Spata , " by EU-
ward Everett Hale. Other standard works
on Spain are : "Philip the Second cf Spain , "
Hume ; "Some French and Spanish Men of
Genius , " Foster ; " ld Campeador and the
Waning of the Crescent In the West ,
Clarke ; "Geschlckto Spanle-as , " Daumgarten ;
"Spain In the Nineteenth Century , " iLatlmcr ,
and "Tho Boys' Frolssart. "
The library is also well prepared to meet
the run oa Ciiban material. As was recently
described in The Bee the shelves abound In
works on that Island from olvl standards ,
such as the summer voyage of Dana thlr'ty '
years ago to the correspondence of HUchard
Harding Davis during his trip there last
summer. It Is expected that the next Issue
of the Library Bulletin will contain a com
plete list ot available material on Spain and
Cuba and American relations therewith.

A Centenarian Criticises Now Fangled
Notloni. _
In these days , when a few so-called scien
tific men ore searching for nature's secrets ,
it is interesting to hear from the grand old
man of Londonderry. Uncle Avery's letter ,
which made him famous years ago , is never
old , although Uncle Aveiy is enjoying a ripe
old age in his Londonderry ( N.H. ) home.
" I want you to stop advertising thnt Lon
donderry Lithia was discovered by the
doctors to be a remedy for rheumatism , etc.
Now , I was born right in sight of that spring
of yours , have lived there ever since , and
knew it would cure Rheumatism when
you folks wore short clothes. I dipped the
water with a pewter mug , and filled kegs for
people who had rheumatism , years nnd years
before your new-fangled pumps and fancy
bottling machines were Invented. We old
settlers were not fools , nnd you folks don't
know any more about that water than my
great-grandfather did. With all your doctors
and experts who come here , you did not know
it would cure humors of the blood until I told
yoiv , Your fancy chemists try to tell me what
s in this water , but / tell them it was always
there , and that it would have stayed there
and cured folks if they had never been born.
I may seem crusty , but I don't like to see you
folks try to shove nil the credit of discovering
this spring on doctors and fancy apothecaries.

Waistful
This is a good morning to advertise Fur Coats and Over
shoes , but we're sorry wo can't accommodate you because our
winter goods were all sold out a month ago , and as soon as
the regular weather man gets back from Washington the fel
low who turned on the snow faucet by mistake will probably
? ct bounced. We'll talk some more about the Boys' Shirt
Waists. We are going to have these goods for sale all Spring
and all Summer and we can't lay too much stress on the fact )
that we have the largest line and the prettiest line and the
'
cheapest line that ever came to Omaha. We want mothers to
keep that fact prominently in mind. We have a good Cotton
Waist that is well made and cut full size and in faat.colora
for only 15 cents. We have others at 25o , 35c , 4fe , 05c and
up to § 1.25 , and we have them for boys of all ages from 3
years up to 13. Every waist we carry is stylish , every pat
tern is correct , every color is new. Wo have no last year's
waists to palm oft on you because wo didn't handle waists
last year. Every waist we have was made to our order
within the last six weeks. We have Waists of Cotton , oi ;
Zephyr , of Linen , of Irish Lawn , of Poplin , of Madras , of-
Ine Cambric , of Perccilo , and if there is any kind made that ,
we haven't got we'll get it , because when we go into anything
we go into it right. When you are out sleighing this morn.-
ing drop in and see the new Waist Department. It won't
'
je a waste of time. "
