There Is a surprise In ( tore ( or gome of
the parties who have signed the contract to
ting In the Exposition chorus and who have
not carried out their part ot the agreement.
It has co mo to too knowledge ot Choral Di
rector Kelly that thcro nro several persons
[ who have signed thin contract and who have
Indicated that they Intend to attend re-
licanrals and get all the Instruction aud
amusement possible out of the proceedings ,
.With tlio intention ot dropping out when the
time comes tor the public appearance of the
Chorus.
Air , Kelly says he knows of several per-
eons who have an Intention of doing this
nnd ho characterizes their actions aa dis
honest In the extreme. A number of mem
bers of the chorus have been excused from
rehearsals on account ot Illness and on ac
count of reading clubs , musical clubs , etc. ,
and these are not Included In the category
of those who are charged with taking un un
fair advantage of the situation , as they have
notified the conductor of their Intended ab
sence.
It Is announced with authority that If It
Is necessary to reduce the number of the
chorus to 100 voices this will bo done , In or
der to need out this clement.
WORK PROGRESSING IIAI'IDLY.
Director Kelly urges all members of the
chorus who can pcaslbly < lo mo to call at hh
Btudlo Monday or Tuesday and present their
receipt for any money paid to Secretary
IWakodcld on account of the chorus and re
ceive In return a pas * to all rehearsals. At
the rehearsal Tuesday nlgK s full Hat of all
raembcra will bo made and all who are not
present will bo dropped from the roll unless
they shall have notified the conductor of
their absence and given a sufficient reason
therefor.
ffho work of the chorus Is progressing so
rapidly that Mr. Kelly EI > S he will not keep
the whole chorus back any longer on account
of dolliifiucnt members. The "Daughter of
Jalrus" ha.s been laid aside , no far as the
chorus Is concerned and will bo taken up
only occasionally for a little polish , but Mr.
Kelly says It la now thoroughly learned. The
"Hose Maiden" will bo next taken up. There
la a great demand for copies of this work
nnd If enough copies are at hand Tuesday
night this will bo put In rehearsal. Members
of other choruses having well preserved
copies of this work can dispose of them to
members ot the Exposition chorus.
Tuwday night the chorus will bo divided
In two parts nnd every member will be
definitely assigned to one or the other of
the Rcml-choruBcs. In several of the works
.which will bo sung by the organization there
arc two choruses , as In the Raster hymn
from "Cavnllerla Rustlcana , " the "Daughter
of Jalrus , " etc. In several cases choruses of
women's voices are required and these will
too selected at the meeting Tuesday night. It
Is highly piobablo that Musclal Director
Klml'ill and Choral Director Kelly will each
take ono of these choruses and both will bo
In rehearsal at the same tlmo.
INo visitors will bo admitted to rehearsals
nnd after Tuesday night admission will bo
etrlctly by card , the latter being given upon
presentation of a receipt from Secretary
( Wakoflold showing a whole or partial pay
ment of the $5 assessed upon each member
of the chorus.
OUTSIDE SINGERS COMING.
Jlr-alcal Director Klmball appeared before
the executive committee at ( several of Its
cessions during the last week to close up
several details regarding certain events In
connection with t ( c music ot the exposition.
[ Among other things , full authority was given
to the musical director to close all arrange
ments with the Apollo club of Chicago , sev
eral little details which had been preventing
the closing of the contract having been ar-
racRCd to the satisfaction of the executive
Committee and the Apollo club. Mr. Klmball
was considerably elated over his success In
securing this organization , as It Is regarded
a * ono of the best musical organizations In
ttio country.
During a recent visit to St. Louis Mr. Klm-
ball met the management ot the St. Loula
'Apollo club and negotiations were opened
looking to ttio appearance of this organiza
tion at the exposition. The St. Louis club
la composed of about eighty men , all singers
ot a high order , and It ranks very high
Among the musical organizations ot the coun
try. Mr. Klmball says the management ot ,
the club expressed a desireto have the or
ganization visit Omaha and the exposition
and It Is expected that arrangements for
ithelr doing so will bo concluded la the near
future. '
An exposition chorus book la being pre
pared by the Musical department. It will
> e Issued at once and will probably bo placed
in the hands of the members of the chorus
iwlthln the next ton days. The book will
contain twenty chonwcu covering a wide

Mr. Richardson says there Is no legislative
appropriation In Indiana , but the governor
was so strongly Impressed with the benefits
which will accrue to the state from having
an exhibit that tie has agreed to ask the
next legislature to reimburse contributors
to a fund to enable a showing to bs made.
With this arrangement , Mr. Richardson
says , the people in all parts of the state feel

IOWA COMMISSION AF WORK

BUSY ! PLANNING ITS STATE BUILDING
Secretary ChnNe. . Wrllen Ilrlolly to the
Department of Kxlilhlls Concern
ing tlio I'liinn for IIiiTrk-
eye 1'nrtlclimtluii.
The first communication received by the
exposition management from the Iowa Ex
position commission since the passage ot
the bill appropriating $25,000 for a state
exhibit was received yesterday by the Ex
hibits department. This communication was a
letter from Secretary Chase , dated at Cedar
Rapids , la. , and was'very brief. It stated
that the Iowa commission still has about
$5,000 of the preliminary appropriation of
$10,000. which , with the $25,000 Just appro
priated , gives tbo commission a fund ot
$30,000 with which to make an exhibit. The
secretary eays the commission is actively at
work and will bo prepared with an exfolblt
when the exposition gates are opened.
Architects are now at work on the plans for
the state building , and Secretary Chase saya
the contract will bo let just as scon as the
drawings can bo made and bids asked , prob
ably within the next ten days.
Up to this time Iowa has applied for very
little space. No formal application of any
kind has been made for any space , nor has
any written request for space been made.
When , a delegation of the commissioners
visited Omaha about a year ago they made
a verbal request that 1,200 square
feet of space In the Agriculture
building , 1,200 feet In the Horticulture build
ing and one of the most desirable spaces tor
a state building on the bluff tract be held
in reserve for Iowa. This space has been
held in accordance with this unofficial re
quest on the part of Individual members of
the commission , notwithstanding the clamors
of numerous state delegations , which were
ready and anxious , to take the space and
pay the full price for-lt. The space reserved
in tha Agriculture and Horticulture buildings
by Iowa Is very small , compared with the
space which will be occupied by other and
less Important states- but the demand which
has been made for space In these and all of
the other main buildings will preclude any
additional space being granted , unless It bo
in the galleries of the buildings in the main
court.
Pile .Driver . Tiikcti'
The pile driver being used to drive piles
for the foundation for the piers to support
the permanent bridges across the lagoon at

; eon yesterday. The machine , which in-
ludes a "donkey engine" on a broad plat-
orm and a tall , derrick-like arrangement
echnlcally known ao "the leads , " in whlea
he heavy hammer travels up and down , was
landing on the southern edge of the Island ,
'he machine lost Its balance and toppled
over Into the empty bed of the lagoon ,
smashing the "leads1' and disabling the en-
: tae. The smokestack of the engine wrn
mashed and broken and the platform wss
orn loose. A pile driver operated by a
mrse was obtained and the work of drlv-
ng plica proceeded , a derrick being stnt
or to raise tbo steam driver and apparatus
out ot the lagoon. No one was hurt by
.he accident.

Pollee JutlKC MnkrH n Statement of
Illu I'roliifblo1'olloy. .
Police Judge Gordon has declared his atti
tude in the matter of levying stated fines
each month upon the.keepers and Inmates of
disorderly houses' . He Eiys that under no
consideration wilt he enter Into an arrange
ment with the Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners , the chlefiofi police or any pet of
city officials that has for Its purpose the
mulcting In agreed sums-of lawless persons.
"If I should become la party to any sllcli
agreement , " dcclarodj the : Judge In speaking
of the matter , "the deal would be a nullity ;
an judge of police .court L would be liable to
Impeachment. I will notunder any clrcUmajt
stances , knowlnslymlscquatruo the stnlo
Idws or USD'them as a moans of levying trlb-
ute upon the keepers and Inmates of dlflwo
orderly houses , . The law says 'that ' upon dfl | |
vlctlon such persons may be fined from SI lo
$100 , or bo sentenced to the county jail /Of
thirty dayy , In the discretion of the coufti
The ordinance which makes these specified
fines possible U altogether too rtaky a pronoJ
sltlon from a legal standpoint to tie to.
"On the other hand , I don't think any court
haa the Tight to dispose of cases before it
without giving u hearing to defendants ; then ,
In passing upon crime or misdemeanors , it Is
the duty of a judge to measure out punish
ment according to the gravity of the offense ,
and1 thla being a fact , there are many ques
tions to bo considered. Leniency toward the
newer offender is ono of the most Important
of these. Itwould bo a travesty' on Justice ,
for Instance , to fine a woman who has Juut
entered upon a disorderly life. In a sum equal
to that which an old offender was entitled
to. In this court all cuics must go through
the regular form and they will be disposed
of In the .customary manner. There will be
no standing cases against any person where
the accused will bo allowed to step up to the
clerk's de&k once a month and pay a fine for
the sake of protection from the police and
this court in the pursuit of crime. "
'Chief ' cf Police Gallagher was asked for an
opinion on the stand that Police Judge Gor
don has taken. Ho said that while there was
a state law governing disorderly places and
the keepers and inmates thereof , thcro Is
also a city ordinance under which , In thou
u Itfdom ot the Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners , the city council and the mayor ,
such places , , keeper and Inmates should be
regulated. Nobody is asking Judge GorJon
'Jw violate his oatln of office , but only to vlo
with the other city officials In bringing about
a regulation that Is for the best Interests of
the law and order of Omaha. All that the
police department can do Is to obey the order
of the board and bring the keepers and In
mates Into court , and then If Judge Gordon
will not countenance the fine system the pur
pose of the movement is defeated.

W. H. Love of Tekamah has great faith
In the future of fruit
raising in Nebraska.
Mr , Love is an expert fruit man and has
beeJi in the business eleven years in isa '
braska. Ho says that there a:3
are fifty times :
as many fruit trees planted In the state as
there were when ho first came here , and
many varieties which no one dreamed idDf
trying at that tlmo are. found to bo thrifty.
Mr. Love thinks the irrigated parts of the
state are destined to become the greatest
fruit producers. Along theJMatto and Loup
rivers peaches , pluma .pears" applea and In
fact all hardy fruits acaralsccl with great
success and are foum\to \ be superior to fruits
raised In the far western. . Irrigated country.
Ono trouble with tha.frult trees throughout
tha entire United States''has been that they
freeze up dry In the , fal ( and dry freezing
- - '
shortens tbo life of a.treo , more than any
other ono Influence. Ifrpst In the spring has
always been found to bP > harder on the buds
when the season was'dry ; ) ind the trees were
suffering for lack of nolsture. Where irri
gation is employed th rees can be ed
at these times and lUq crop can be do
practically certain , i i
In Nebraska little effort has been made to
bring fruit raising to the scientific basts it
has been reduced to Irf California and other
fruit countries , but When Irrigation comes
Into general use on Jt\ < \ \ \ farms It will bo
necessary to pluck ott-piit of the buds nd
give strict attention lo-tho care of develop
ing fruit. Irrigated trseri produce so many
buds that they would bo. broken all to pieces
by tbo growing fruit and the fruit would |
not be choice unless carefully watched , Mr.
Love , thinks it is only a question of a few
years till little fruit will be shipped to No-
orbraska by other states.
A little boy asked for a bottle of "got up

swooned away. I tried many different
remedies , hut all to no avail , and I became -

misery and an early grave awaited me.
About this tlmo I met and talked with a
nurse of this city who advised mo to try
a good blood medicine. My husband also
thought I had better do so and he purchased
a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla , I had an
attack of erysipelas and was compelled to
have a nurse , but I kept on taklug Hood's
Sarsaparilla. After I had taken three
bottles I notlcoJ the trouble with my heart

sistence in taking .Hood's . Sarsaparilla
finally mastered all of my complaints ,
which wore mostly due to impure blood.

Several ycurs ago an ordinance levying an
occupation tax upon all lines of business In
the iclty was passed by the council and waa i
partially enforced. Some of the business men
walked up to the treasurer's office and set-
tied without making any protest , but the
great majority never paid. This ordinance
was passed In 1892 , but the records slni.v that
no attempt \\as ever made to enforce U , the
authorities seemingly being content to ac
cept the payments offered without compe ling
obedience. The matter was brought up by
a numbur of business men the other day and
an effort will be made to have the taxes paid
under this ordinance refunded. It Is under
stood that a half dozen or more mcrchan's
who paid this tax have raised a fund with
which to employ an attorney.
As no record was made of any one flll.ig a
written protest against the payment of the
tax , It appears doubtful If the amounts paid
can bo recovered , still the attempt will bo
made shortly after election. Those who paid
assert that the authorities have done them
an Injustice in not compelling all persons In
( "business to pay. Two years ago an attempt
\ wu'i made to pass a similar ordinance in
order to recoup the treasury , but when the
ordinance , came up for final passage U was
defeated.
