BEAUTIFYING THE GROUNDS

' Exposition ,
WET WEATHER CAUSES A SLIGHT DELAY
Ornrel IVnlkN nml flrevn Grain In the
1'arkn of < he Illuft Tract I'ro-
dace n Very IMeni-
Effect.
The rain of' yesterday Interfered with the
progrcco of the t > lvli > g la the main court
of the exposition , but the work la eo far
advanced that a short delay will not pre
vent the early completion of thl.j work. The
paving of the broad plaza extending entirely
around Ido lagoon was started at the neat
end , In front of the Government building ,
and has been completed on cither aide of the
logoon to Twentieth street. Another gang
of ravers started at the cast end of the
main court and they have completed the
paving from a point opposite the middle of
the east colonnade to the wist end of the
Minis ) building. About one-third of the cn-
tlro paving jet remains to be dcae and this
will occupy but a iCiort time.
The wet weather comblnej with the heavy
hauling on the macadamized roadwajs" of
the bluff tract proved to be a severe test
of the quality of this work , but the result
lias been highly satisfactory to the exposi
tion authorities. The- macadam was not In-
tt dcd for such use , 'being merely designed
to serve as a covering for foot paths , but It
has stood the test well and Is becoming an
flrm ocid hard as could bo wished. The sharp
gravel with which the surface U covered la
entirely free from dust , even In the dryest
weather , and the. contrast of the gravel with
the fresh green of the young gwss wtilch
now covers the entire lower portion of the
bluff tract Is a moot plcoslng sight.

Among fhe via Horn to the exposition
grounds was Benjamin Foltom , a prominent
attorney of BufFilo , who la a large Omstia
property owner and consequently somewhat
largely Interested In the success of an en
terprise that contemplates the upbuilding of
the city. Mr. Folsom te on hlo way homo
from I os Angeles , where he has been spend
ing the winter. In speaking of the expedi
tion he said : "I miu > t confess that I was
decidedly nurprised wdtn 1 realized the maB-
nltude of the project. I was struck not only
with the marvelous rapidity with which the
work has been advanced , but with the ex
cellence of the location and the architec
tural gram3eur of the buildings. Like a
good many other people In California I had
acquired the Idea that Uie exposition was
somewhat en the same lines as the Mid
winter fair at San Francisco , but this lone
no more to be compared with the Transmls-
cilfislppl Exposition then Is a town market
with a state fair. I consider the exposi
tion superior In the magnitude of Its
conception and the beauty of Ito
buildings to any ttiat baa ever been held In
thla country except the World's fair , and In
Its details It Is oven a. vast Improvement
on that Immense affair. The artists have had
the experience and Om alia Is getting the
benefit of U. "
Mr. Kolsom suggested that It Is scarcely
to be expected that there will bo a large
attendance at the exposition from Southern
California. The people there were suffering
from the flrr.t severe drouth with wtilch
they had been afflicted since thn state -as
first Milled. The grain and hay crops were
failures and thp people generally felt too
poor to come to Hie exposition. Los Angelea
was the only place In that part of the state
In which there has been any extensive effort
t'o participate In the exposition , and the sec
rctary of tbe Ls Angeles Chamber of Com
iaerce Is entitled to considerable credit for ,
the work he boa accomplished In that dl
rcctlcn.
Aside from the Impression ho has re
ceived from ttie exposition , Mr. Folsom says
that he can see a decided Improvement In
Omaha since ho was here last , eighteen
months ago. He regards the start toward
improved depot accommodations as the moat
Important step In advance and declared that
U will bo of Immeasurable benefit to the city.
Ho also empliaaftja the Importance of getting
us many people as possible to attend the
exposition at the beginning. "The exposition
itself Is Its best advertisement. " be declared ,
"and every Individual who comes here will
go away a walking , talking advertisement.
The Illustrations that have been circulated
cannot convey , an adequate Idea of the 1m-
mcrslly of the enterprise , for It Is Incom
parably bigger and grander than any one
can Imagine who has not seen It. I believe
that It will be v lei ted by fully 2.000,000 people
plo this summer < and that It will bo an un
precedented success. "

K.IXSAS WILL HAVD A BUILDING.
ConiuilMMlon from the Sunflower State
ArrlvoN Tomorrow.
Secretary A. H. Greef of the Kansas Ex
position commission has notified the Depart
ment of Publicity and Promotion that Presi
dent Gllck , Vice President iFrost , the archi
tect of the Kansas bulhliog and the superin
tendent of the Kansas display will arrive In
Oma'ha ' tomorrow to make arrangements
for thQ commencement of work on the Kan

has been let and , Mr. Greet says it Is stipu
lated that the building shall be completed
within thirty days.
Regarding the display to be made by Kan
sas Secretary Greet says that the work of
collecting the material Is going on all over
the state and that a large supply of very
desirable material Is being secured. He sa > a
the commission Is distributing a large
amou-.H of advertising material of all kinds
and thnt the papers are aiding the commis
sion and the exposition In every possible
way.
> < > I'OHt | onemeiit on Account ofnr. .
A rumcr has been' persistently circulated
of late to the effect that the exposition would
bo postponed on account o'f the war and
Inquiries regarding the truthfulness of this
report have been coming Into the offices of
the exposition officials from all quarters.
The latest Inquiry of this nature was from
George W. Parsons of Los Angeles , exposi
tion vice president for California.
There Is absolutely no foundation for any
such rumors. The executive committee lias
never considered the possibility of postpon
ing the exposition on account of the war or
for any other reason. The effect of the war
upon the attendance Iras been discussed very
generally by people Interested In the exposi
tion , but the concensus of opinion at the part
of those best qualified to judge has been that
the effect of the war will be very slight and
the tendency will be to Increase the attend
ance rather than diminish It.

Accommodation * Muring the
Summer.
The Bureau of Public Comfort to about to
: ommence active operations to carry out the
lurpose for which the bureau i as organized ,
nd a force of agents will commence Monday
morning the work of canvassing tbo eutlre
Ity In order to make a full and accurate
1st of all persons who can or will accommo-
late visitors to the city during the exposl-
.lon.
.lon.A
A thorough house to bouse canvass will
ie made by ttirse agents , each of whom will
e eupplfed with proper credentials taued
> y Chairman Dudley Smith of the bureau ,
They will ask to be shown Into tbo rooms
whlcf.1 the householder proposes to rent and
oplous notes of the location , elze and gen-
ral character of each room will be made
a order to enable the bureau to supply this
nformatton to visitors In search of accommo-
latlone.
In cases where the householder does not
wish to furnish accommodations regularly
' o will be urged by the canvasser to Allow ,
Is came to be used on what will be I
< nown aa "the emergency list. " This
let will contain the names of these persona
who do not wish to make a business of
Burnishing lodging or rooms for visitors , but
who will accommodate visitors temporarily
'f a pressing need for additional accommoda-
Ions arises. They will be asked to allow one-
r two rooms to be so used w.lth . the under-
landing that this shall only be done In case
f emergency.
It has been determined to make no charge
'or 'the services of the Bureau 6f Public
Comfort. The hotels and larger boarding
ouses have refused to pay anything for tbo
service ' of the bureau , and It Is thought un-
'ust to charge the small householder UMder
he circumstances. Instead of making any
; harge , the bureau will urge upon all the
leople the painting anJ "fixing up" of houses
nd premlees In order that the city may
resent a handsome appearance during the
ummer.
The canvassing of the city will be com
peted within the next two or three weeks
nd In the meantime the Bureau of Public
Comfort will remove from the sixth floor of
he Paxton block to an office on the ground
floor In the business district at a point to
be announced later. May 30 branch cftlces
will be opened at the Union Pacific , Burllng-
'
'on and Webster street depots and on the
xposltton grounds. These offices -will all be
n direct communication with the main office ,
where the records will bo kept and visitors
will be supplied with accommodations at
hcsc branch offices as well as at the main
ifflce.
The whole plan of operations has been very
carefully worked out by Chairman Smith ,
alter correspondence with those In charge
of similar bureaus at other expositions , and
e believes that the crowds will be well taken
care of regardless of their size. He antici
pates little difficulty In finding plenty of
room for all who may come.
.Settlement of n Lnw Snlt.
The difference between the Department of
Concessions and the concessionaire of the
Moorish village have been adjusted and the
njunctlon suit started by the latter to re
strain the department from interfering with
the concession will be dismissed.
In accordance with the terms of this settle
ment the Moorish Village copmany has as
sumed the obligations of the contract' which
have heretofore been borne by A. B. Fclder
and has filed a bond for copmllince with the
terms of the contract. This bond U for $5,000 ,
with Joseph Hayden as surety. The claim
for damages set up by the concessionaire on
account of the railway track which crosses
the ground occupied by the village was
waived , but tbe provision of the contract
referring to optical Illusions , which was one
of the main points of contention , was left
undisturbed and without further Interpreta
tion , each side maintaining a firm stand re
garding the construction to be placed on this
clause , the concessionaire maintaining that
the clause conveys an exclusive right for
optical Illusions In the exposition and the
Concession department claiming that the
privilege is not exclusive.
IlulIilliiK for Xorv York.
There has been eomo uncertainty aa to
whether New York would have a state
