CHILDREN WANT THEIR CERTIFICATES
YoanKitrrn Who gutiicrlhed to J
nnil llor ' HalMIng Kand
l > ruioc to Ilnve Their
Htock funned.
A mimic revolution IB Impending among
the school children of this Immediate vicin
ity over what they regard as the unreason
able delay In the Issuance of the certificates
promised to all who subscribed $1 or more
to the fund for the erection of the Girls'
and Hoys' building.
Karly In November last strenuous efforts
were made to arouno the Interest of the
children of this entire section In the Idea
of contributing their mites to the fund for
the construction of this building and pa
tronesses were appointed for the various
schools and everything the women could
think of was done to Induce the children to
contribute. Among other things It was
promised that each child subscribing for
twenty shares at 5 cents each should re
ceive a handsome certificate of stock.
The dollars rolled In from all directions
find each Juvenile subscriber at once pro
ceeded to wnlt for that handsome certificate
of stock. Six months and a half of wait
ing with no signs of realizing on
the numerous promises proved too much
even for Juvenile patience and the young
sters have almost lost faith In the oft re
peated promise that the certificates "will
bu ready In a few days. "
Numerous Inquiries at the oulco of Secre
tary Ford of the Woman's Board of Man
agers has elicited the Information that the
certificates are In process of being executed.
They were printed several months ago and
It Is possible that the grotesqucncss of some
of the figures of the alleged cuplds In the
design may account for the hesitation In
Issuing them. Some of these figures have
had their legs detached by accident or de
sign and these nether extremities are hangIng -
Ing about In the vicinity of their rightful
location In the funniest way Imaginable.
These certificates require the signature of
President Sawyer , Vice President Klmball
and the seal of the board In addition to the
name of the subscriber and the number of
shares of stock purchased. The clerical
work Involved In making them out Is tre
mendous and no proper provision has been
made for doing this work except to employ
nn Omaha teacher to fill In the names of
the subscriber. The office force of the sec
retary of the woman's board consists of two
girls , and the ordinary work of the office
Is more than enough to keep them busy all
the time. The result Is that the certificates
are taken up at odd moments and the pres
ent Indications are that these certificates
will reach the subscribers In time to form
cumulative evidence In the stories told to
their grandchildren about the great exposi
tion "when grandpa WOB a boy. "
The teachers In the public schools who
received the contributions are having some
difficulty In convincing the pupils from
whom they collected numerous dollars that
the money reached the proper place and that
the certificates will bo forthcoming In the
dim and misty future.
E\D THE LAGOON ,
FlorlNt IN Mnkliiw flitIMiuc Picture
of UtuiNtinl llrnuty.
The colonnades and pavllllons forming
the exedra at the cast end of the main court
nro practically completed , a few finishing
touches only remaining to bo completed and
the florists have taken possession of the
wide flower beds Inside the sweeping curves
ot the colonnades. Shrubbery , rose bushes
and foliage plants nro being planted hero
In great profusion , and the boxes extending
along the tops of the colonnades are being
prepared ( or the vines which will twine
gracefully about the white columns and form
a leafy canopy over the trellis work , formIng -
Ing a roof for these colonnades. The cres
cent shaped bed , midway of the"grassy slope
at the cast end of the lagoon Is being filled
with flowering plants and handsome foliage
plants are being placed at the Inner side of
the wall which encloses this same slope.
The combination of all of these beds of
flowers , the white colonnades with the trail
ing green vines and the towering pavllllons
rising In stately grandeur above the rip
pling water of the lagoon will form a picture
of charming beauty and make this portion of
the main court one ot the most entrancing
spots among the many beautiful places on
the grounds. The unsightly scaffolding aboul
the colonnades has been removed and the
pleasing contrast of the white and green ,
mingled with the neutral tint ot the paving
rests the eye and exerts a soothing In
fluence.
With the exception of the narrow strip ol
ground within the proper limits of Twen
tieth street boulevard where It passcc
through the main court , the latter portloi
of the grounds now presents a finished ap
pearance and is about ready for the inspec
tion of visitors. All of the main buildings
in this section of the grounds have beer
completed , the Girls' and Days' bulldlne
being the only exposition building still In
course of construction , and the walks have
been completed at Twentieth street. The
delay in this spot Is duo entirely to the
contractor for the Iron bridges which arc
to be thrown across the lagoon at this point
These bridges are now well under way am' '
the moment the trusses nro placed In posi
tion the work ot filling the approaches ant
laying the walks will bo pushed to comple
tion. The big trusses for the bridge fron
the north sldo ot the lagoon to the Islam
are all In place and the grading and pavlm
is under way on this side , but the soul !
bridge Is far from completion and nothlni
can be done by the graders and pavers untl
the trusses are removed from their prcscn
position neir the Arch ot States.

MnkliiK Itriiily Wonderful Dlnilny.
The exhibit of paintings to bo made In the !
"Ino Arts building promises to bo ono of
he best over shown to the public. For two
ays Director A. H. Griffith and a corpi
t assistants have been busily engaged In
unpacking and taking an Invoice of pictures
already received. This work will continue
or several days , ns the exhibits arc nrrlv-
ng dally. Mr. Griffith has been delayed
onsldcrably by the building not being Un
shed , but his work can now bo pushed
apldly forward.
Among the pictures already unpacked and
cady to bo hung arc n number by qulto
iromlncnt artists. Probably one that will
ttract more attention from the visitors than
my other will bo "A Bachelor's Drawer , "
> y John Haberle , from New Haven , Conn ,
ust at a glance this painting would not
Ikcly attract more than a passing notice , as
t very closely resembles the collection of
articles that seem to bo merely pasted on a
jackground , and consist of paper money , lid
if a cigar box on which the revenue stamp
s scratched , a half-smoked cigarette , cig
arette paper and pictures , stamps that have
> cen torn from letters , theater seat checks ,
valentine , matches , playing cards , pen
knife , pipe , shoestring , eye glasses and the
to tbo drawer. In fact it contains
everything tbat might bo found In a bach-
ilor's knick-knack drawer. These articles
arc reproduced perfectly and one needs to
study the drawing to get Its worth. Mr.
labcrlo was arrested and three of his palnt-
ngs at the World's fair confiscated by the
government authorities on account of the re
production of the money , which was desig
nated a forgery. There are also contained
n the picture several newspaper clippings ,
which leads one to believe that It Is a for-
: ery. This Is really ono ot the master
pieces that will be on exhibition.
The Century Magazine company ot New
i'ork sent its series of black and -white
IrnwingB , which have been reproduced in
ho magazines nt different times. "A
Siesta , " by Frank Duvcncck , from Clncln-
latl , will como in for its share of pralso
torn sight-seers. "The St. Louis Museum , "
> y Jullen Duprc , is a grand production.
Vandyke's "Four Ages , " loaned by the Do-
.rolt Art Museum , is n magnificent sketch ,
and , in fact , ranks first among these to bo
on ! exhibition. "In the Field" and "Her
First Day at School" are also well known
lalnttngs thai are on exhibition. "An
Svenlng in the Cafe , " by Braugwyn , is an
other painting familiar to the devotees of
art , and one that many are Interested In
seeing. The hand ot David Col will bo seen
n the presentation of his masterpiece , "Tho
Wrangle , " depleting a quarrel at a gambling

On the Government Oulldlnc.
New work Is being taken up almost dally
n the Government building. Great progress
s being made and another \reek will see it
almost completed. The department of pat
ents has commenced placing exhibits. These
exhibits consist of such patents as type
writers , sewing machines , printing presses ,
: clegraphlc apparatus and shows the prog
ress made in the lost forty to fifty years.
Pictures of all tbo presidents occupy posl-
.ions on the walls to the west side of the
central part of the building. That of Presi
dent McKlnlcy Is much larger than the
others , and occupies a position above nil ,
while the Stars and Strlpps are unfurled
over It. Under these pictures Is contained a
'acslmllo of the Declaration of Independence
and a photographic reproduction of the same
now deposited In the Department of State
at Washington.
Photoirrnphlc VliMVK.
F. A. Rlnebart , the official photographer
of tbo exposition , has made arrangements
for making a series of photographic views
o * the exposition grounds which will eclipse
anything of that character ever before un
dertaken in connection with any exposition ,
cither in this country or in Europe. The
books of views which will bo issued will
contain photographs In colors , marking an
advance In the science of photography which
has only recently been attained. In this con
nection Mr. Rlncbart has arranged with W.
H. Jackson , formerly of Denver , to take tbe
pictures with a special process. As soon
as tbo grounds are entirely completed the
taking ot these pictures will bo commenced ,
Including tbo main buildings and views of
different points about the grounds.
Ethnological Exlillilt.
Arrangements have been completed for an
exhibit in tbo Liberal Arts building which
will probably form a very strong attraction ,
for numerous students of ethnology. This
collection Is known as the Passadena loan
collection and consists of curios collected
among the tribes of Indians in the south
west corner of the United States and In
Mexico. The collection Is an enormous ono
and is valued at an enormous sum. It will
occupy a space of 150 feet , with numerous
walls on which the articles will be sus
pended.

Actions on the applications of thfrJ Ex-
hangc hotel , Otto Mnurer and John Koutsky
vere deferred for the reason that the pro-
irlctors of these places had not yet wlth-
Irawn their protests against payment of a
500 occupation tax.
The council will meet next Saturday aft
ernoon to take up the cases'where remon-1
strances have been filed by outside parties.
Before the granting of the llncenses men-
toned Councilman Kelly withdrew his pro
tests against all those who had withdrawn
ho occupation tax protests. At the Satur
day meeting of the council some action to-
vard refunding $300 of the ocupatlon tax to
hose already granted licenses will be taken.
The city treasurer desires to obtain legal
advlco on the matter before refunding any
of the money paid In.
The bonds Issued for the grading of I
street between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets have been sold to Cash Bros , and the
sale was confirmed by the council. An ordi
nance was read for the first time cstab-
Ishlng grades In all alleys which have not
icretoforo been established. The committee
on flro and water was Instructed to inquire
nto the advisability of Increasing the fire
department and also consider the necessity
for.tbe purchase of one or two flro engines.
Blny Move City OHloeM.
The owners of the city hall building have
not paid any attention to the orders ot the
council In regard to milking necessary and
needed repairs. A few days ago one of the
parties controlling this property was In the
city and went over the building. He admit
ted that some repairs were needed , but re
fused to do anything unless the city would
enter Into another contract for the lease ot
the property. The.prescnt lease expires on
December 1 and the owners desire the city to
extend the lease cither one or two years.
Unless this Is done It was stated positively
that no repairs will be made. A number of
the councllmcn are in favor of looking for
another location and this may possibly be
done' , as the present quarters arc not at all
suitable.
Sc-liool Comtnciicpnieiit. -

the new postofflce building have purchased
from a local dealer 600,000 brick , which will
be used in constructing the walls of tbo
building. The facing will be of butt colored

PROCEEDINGS OF CITY COUNCIL
Soent In CotiHliIcrntlon of
Itou title Mat torn Important
IliiNlncNN Ooew Ovor.
The city council held an uneventful meet
ing last night. A goodly portion of the busi
ness consisted of minor matters more or less
directly brought up by the exposition. Of
the more Important matters the proposition
of the Bolln bondsmen to settle the judg
ment for $35,000 was laid over for n week
and the garbage ordinance was referred to
the city attorney with very little discus
sion.
sion.Tho
The ordinance requiring all owners of
corner lots to put up street signs on their
property was unanimously passed.
The reappolntment of H. Stinger as as
sistant city engineer ! by City Engineer Rosewater -
water was referred to the judiciary commit
tee.
tee.Tho
The ordinance raising the dally license for
mystic and mirror mazes and for Illusions
from $3 to $5 was passed , as was also nn
I amendment providing that all stitjh shows ,
as well as ventriloquists , palmists and other
! scientists of the same character could sc-
cure a license from June 1 to December 31
for $120 , $150 and $160.
The exposition people were requested , In
answer to a petition , to allow laborers and
school children residing near Twentieth and
Manderson street -to pass througbi Jhe ex-
'posttlcin grounds before 9'o'clock each morn
ing on their way to work , and the Lothrou
school"respectively. . The closing ot Twen
tieth street makes it necossory for the work
men and children to make a wide detour at
present.
The new ordinance allowing pushcart and
other like peddlers to take stands in the
proscribed downtown district upon permis
sion of adjoining property owners or lessees
was passed. The same action was taken , on
the ordinance licensing hotel and lodging
house "runners" at the depots at $15 and
requiring a $500 bond from their employers
for the force of "runners" hired by each.
Permission was given the Union Pacific
railroad to use certain parts of lots and
alleys near Its depot for tracks and facili
ties during the exposition.
The Barber Asphalt company wjis allowed
to purchase $4,000 worth of intersection
bonds to replace $3,955 worth of city war
rants held by the city treasurer as n , re
tainer under the company's contract with
tbe city.
The comptroller was authorized to draw
warrants for $17,025 worth of obligations
held by Kountz Bros , of New York and fallIng -
Ing due on June 1.
A resolution was Introduced by Burklcy

We had a nice acl. prepared about our Straw Hats , and
other summer goods , but the weather elork again
played a triek on us and we had to change it , fee wo
won't pay anything about our Straw Hats this time ,
but rather tell you about Mackintoshes , Rubber Coats
and Umbrellas. The importance of the Mackintoshes
is not to be overestimated ; a thousand are sold today
where one was sold ten years ago. Competition in
manufacture and knowledge of how to make them
brought the prices down past the "luxury" point to
the "necessity" point. Today we can sell you a good
Mackintosh for $2.00 , in blue or black , wide wale
storm serge , cemented seams , plaid linings , cut full
length , full capo. At $4.00 we sell twill serge Mack
intoshes ; at $5.00 heavy weight tricot , and at $6.50
elegant dressy looking Mackintoshes of cassimere and
cheviot. Rubber Coats , as good as they make them ,
from § 1.50 to $3.50. In Umbrellas wo save you from
25c to $1.00.
