The recent wet weather Interfered some
what with the rapid progress which was be
ing made In the main court , but now that
the moisture has somewhat disappeared , ac
tive work has been resumed In preparing tilA
ground for the finishing touches. A large
quantity of brick has been haulcU to the
west end of the main court and the paving
of the broad promenade which will surround
the lagoon will bu commenced as soon us
the bed of rand Is prepared.
The staff work on the west colonnades ts
almost completed and work will be com
menced on the elaborate colonnades at the
east end of the lagoon. The carpcnteis have
About finished their work at the cast end
and the casting of the staff for the colon
nades and pavilions Is well advanced.
Good headway Is being made on the Art
building , the last ono In the main court to
be finished. The Interior Is plastered , that
part of the work having been completed flrat
In order that It might bo thoroughly dried
before the pictured are placed In It. A
largo force of workmen are engaged In put
ting the exterior covering on the building ,
and tills will bo completed within a short
time.
Itcmarkablc progress continues to bo made
on the Government building , aivl the great
beauty of the ornamentation of this building
Is Increasing with each addition to the atari
decoration. The wings of the building are
practically finished and all work IB being
concentrated on the central portion of the
building and the handsome dome. The dome
Is nearly finished and Is already a land
mark from all parts of town.
The statuary for the Agriculture building
\f \ > being put In position. The colossal fig
ures of women and sturdy boys make a
striking addition to this handsome building.
On the bluff tract the Horticulture build
ing is rapidly nearing completion. Staff
Contractor Alexander has a large force of
men at work anl the elaborate decoration
of this handsome building Is being rapidly
put In position. The frieze which extends
entirely around this building consists of a
succession of semi-nude figures of children
bearing garlands of fruits and flowers. The
artist who modelled these figures has
achieved the most pleasing results. The
wlnsa of the building are about completed
and the central mass Is being rapidly de
veloped. The embellishment of this hand
some building calls for a large number of
groups of statuary and when these are In
place the Horticulture building will bo 0:10 :
of the most elaborately decorated structures
on the grounds. Architect Helndorff makes
frequent visits to the grouuda to Inspect
the building and he Is more than pleased
with the manner In which the development
of the structure Is being carried out.

The unrest In the business world Incident
to the war rumors has not had any apprecia
ble effect upon the Department of Exhibits
of the exposition. April 2 the department
sent to all prospective exhibitors , whoso ap
plications for space had been accepted , a no
tice to the effect that the last 23 per cent
of space money was duo and payable at once ,
under the rules of the department. He-turns
from this notice began coming In almost Im
mediately , and In the twenty-four hours
ending at 5 p. m. , of the 4th Inst. , there was
received at exposition headquarters the sum
of f2.082.25 on account of this space charge.
Slnco that time the money has been coming
In at a correspondingly rapid rate , and /here
has been no Indication on the part of any
exhibitor to avoid compliance with his agree
ment.
The Exhibits department Is beginning to
forge ahead In the matter of bustle , and ac
tivity. The approach of the time for the
gates to open Is making the work of the de
partment more burdensome , and It has been
found necessary to Increase the office force in
order to dispose of the work Incident to the
closing up of the preliminary details.
On the 16th of this month the marking of
the floors of " the main buildings will bo com
menced , and"lt is expected ' /it exhibits will
commence arriving about that time. The
Great-majority of exhibits will not arrive ,
until about May 1 , but many.exhibitors pre
fer to take a longer tlmo for the arrange
ment of their display.

state. Each school teacher and each preacher
In the state has been asked to contribute
25 cents to the cause and each pupil and
each church member la asked to give 0
cents. With the fund thus created an ex

A scheme to promote the Introduction of
manufacturing establishments in this city
after the exposition and tn that way to con *
ilnuo the prosperity which has been started
by the big show has been presented to th
executive committee of the Commercial
club for approval. After some consideration
It has been referred to a special commtttci
tor further Investigation. This committed
c cos Is is of Martin , McIIugh , White , Daum
and Utt.
The plan , as outlined In a report presented
by Secretary Utt , provides for the employ
ment tn this direction of any moneys which
may bo in the hands of the exposition di
rectors at the clcse of the exposition. The
money will form a fund to be handled by
some board of governors similar to the ex
position ! directory , to be elected by the
stockholders. If advisable another company
may bo formed , the exposition subscribers
holding stock In It pro rata , according to
the amount of their subscriptions to the
exposition. All of this stock shall be non
assessable. A subscriber will not be com
pelled to keep his money In the new com
pany. He will be allowed to draw out his
share of the profits If he desires.
The plan has not been worked out la de
tail , but the outline has been given. It Is
proposed that ths board of governors In
charge of the money shall Investigate man
ufacturing enterprises , with a view of Induc
ing them to come to this city. None of the
money will be given as a bra us. It will
bo used la .buying . stock In such .establish
ments , either as a matter of assistance or
for the enlargement of the plant. No money
will be Invested In any enterprise which has
not been thoroughly Investigated.
The promoters of the plan look upon It
as a good scheme of Investment and as
certain to brlog new manufacturing con
cerns to Omaha. The need of something of
the kind Is now being felt. For example
there Is at present a good business propo
sition regarding a flouring mill offered. The
mill Is of considerable capacity , but addi
tional capital of $60,000 Is required to put
tt on the desired basis. About halt of this
amount has been subscribed 'by Omaha
moneyed men , but the remainder Is still
lacking. It there was some such company
as the proposed plan provides for the money
would be available and the establishment
could be secured.

Mrs. D. D. Klmmcl , who resides at 3110
Corby strcat , lo endowed with enough bravery
and presence of mind not only to protect her
home against robbery but to use a revolver
with effect. About 11:30 : o'clock Tuesday
night she opened fire upon a burglar while
ho WES trying to broik Into the barn at the
back of the premises , a distance of about
twenty-five yards from the 'house.
Mr. Klmmcl la employed as a barber In the
shop at 016 North Sixteenth street. His work
often keeps him late at night , on which oc
casions 'Mrs. ' Klmmcl Is alone at the house.
About an hour before the shooting , while
Mrs. Klmmel was sitting up waiting for the
return of her husband , she heard a noise OP ,
the premises outnlde. Gho provided herself
with a revolver and seated herself at a rear
window to await development ! ! . The night
was not dark enough to prevent her from
getting a good gllmpso of Che premises and
the barn. After watching quietly and pa
tiently at tlie window for nearly an hour che
saw a man creeping over the yard toward
the barn. The thief began to work at the
lock of the stable door 'with a largo "jimmy"
and then Mrs. Klmmel left the window. Pass
ing through the kitchen , > he opened a door
and stepped upon a side porch where , around
a corner of the house , phe could see well
what wcs going on : Deliberately she raised
her revolver , took a careful aim and flred.
A shriek of agony , Indicating that the bul
let had taken effect , followed the crack of
the revolver , and the n I silt prowler leaped
straight Into the air.
"What are you doing1 out there ? " de
manded ( Mrs. Klmmel as she leveled her
weapon to tike another shot at the thief.
"Don't shoot again ! " ciled the robber ;
"please don't shoot1 again , " but before ho had
time to say more Mrs. Klmmel flred again.
Another outcry followed this shot and then ,
at the rkk of his life , the robber ran to the
side of the barn and disappeared around a
corner of the building. That waa the last
seen of him.
Mr. Klmmel made a careful examination
rif the stable yesterday morning to find some
trace of the two bullets , which his wife had
flred , but .here was nothing to be found In
the bcarrto to indicate that either had struck
thoi barn , which was in direct range of the
revolver from where iMis. Klmmel stood
when she flred the shots. There was no
trace of blood to bo found that would Indi
cate either bullpt had talten effect , although
bath the barber , and hla wife feel confident
thai one of the ehots took effect. The affair
has been leported to the po'lce.

Today it's ' suits for the boys the little lads 4 to 14.
We want to say a word right hero about prices.
There are still a few deluded mothers who think a
boy's suit is ever so much cheaper when it is adver
tised at soine.catchpeimy figure like $1.67 or $2.98
or $3.494 We don't use catchpenny methods hero.
All of our boys' suits are marked in straight figures
and they are straight goods and whatever wo toll you
about them is straight. "We sell a little Junior suit
of good wearing flannel in navy blue color for
one dollar and we know some places in Omaha where
similar suits are marked § 1.89. ' We sell fancy little
reefer , , suits at $1,25 , $1.50 and $2.00 ,
for little boys under 8 , and yeti - will find
suits that are nowhere jic or as 'good on alleg
ed bargain counters marked $1.47 , $1.78 , $2.49.
Our lines of Novelty and Vestee and Reefer Suits at
2.25 to 3.60 are far Superior to any offered in Catch
penny establishments for almost double , and no in
telligent woman has ever claimed that she could find
as grand a line of patterns in any kind of a store
outside of here. We are after the trade of intelligent ,
thinking mothers who will compare and criticize , and
we ask their attention this morning to the goods in
our corner window. The prices are straight , the
goods care straight , the values are straight and they
will wear for straight because they are made first-rate.
