now TO SHIP THE EXHIBITS
Manager Babcock Explains Mistake that
Causes Much Grumbling !
ONE PLAIN RULE IS DISREGARDED
KxlilblU nillr.I to InillrlilnalH
Mot He Untiled Free l r the Hull-
ronda Coneemilom Are
til Obtain.
Quito a hullabaloo has been kicked up
during the last thrco or four days In con
nection with the receipt of freight nt the
exposition grounds. Investigation shows
that this trouble has Its origin among those
who have persistently , If not willfully , dis
regarded the plain rule of the exposition
ansoclatlon. The privilege of free shipment
for the Nebraska exhibits and of free re
turn for other exhibits was mode by the
railroads with the understanding that the
exposition association would bo responsible
for the care of the consignments nnd that
the Integrity of each would be preserved
by the responsible party. Arrangements to
secure these privileges were made and the
prospective shippers nil had due notice of
the plans nnd the charges , together with
explicit Instructions as to how to ship In
order to secure the rates. It now appears
that many shippers have paid no attention
to those Instructions , but are sending goods
to freight depots billed to themselves or
other Individuals at Omaha , with the result
that the railroads decline to accept
them for free transportation , but
Insist on the prepayment of freight
nnd terminal charges. If the shippers who
now make bitter complaint against the
alleged exorbitant charges will only observe
the plnln rule nnd bill their goods to the
Trnnsmlsslsslppl nnd International Exposi
tion association , they will receive all the
benefit of the very liberal concessions the
railroads have made , and will have their
property taken care of by responsible parties
at a minimum of cost.
Horticulturists who complain they can
not replenish during the season from time
to time their exhibits nro assured that the
exposition association has arranged a plan
whereby these exhibits may be kept up
continually fresh , and nt a very little cost.
Coniiilnlnt of NvbrnNka Men.
Complaints have been made at head
quarters of the Nebraska Exposition com
mission concerning the alleged exorbitant
charges which It la alleged are made by the
railroads at points of shipment on all ex
hibits Intended for the exposition. This
latter complaint has been n source of great
surprise to those aware of the fact that the
railroads had all agreed to transport free
of charge from Nebraska points all exhibits
excepting live stock. The complaints re
garding this matter came from Superin
tendent Johnson of the agricultural bureau
of the state commission , Superintendent
Jackson ot the educational exhibit and
Superintendent Whltcomb of the apiary
bureau. All stated that they had been noti
fied by persons desiring to ship articles for
exhibition that the shipment would not be
received unless freight charges and terminal
charges were prepaid at point of shipment.
This Information was like a. bombshell In
the camp of the state commission and Secretary
*
retary Campbell threw up his hands , de
claring that such a course would bankrupt
the state commission. The protests applied
especially to small shipments , the charges
being reported as being $1.50 In each case
for a small parcel such as a county collec
tion for the educational exhibit.
The attention of Manager Dabcock of the
Transportation department was called to
these complaints. Ho threw light on the
matted , which puts It In an entirely different
aspect. With reference to the difficulty In
connection with the shipments of material
for the Nebraska exhibits , Mr. Dabcock
Bald the whole situation results from the
fact that the shippers insist on billing the
goods to 'the individual superintendents of
the Nebraska exhibit instead of billing
everything to the Transmlsslsslppl and In
ternational Exposition as required by nil
Instructions Issued by tbo exposition man-
igement.
MlHtake * Mailc by Shipper * .
"These educational exhibits about which
M much fuss Is being made , " said Mr. Dab-
cock , "are shipped to Superintendent Jock-
ion Individually or as superintendent of the
educational exhibit , and In some cases the
county superintendent shipping the exhibit
addresses U to himself nt Omaha. In the
agricultural exhibit some of the material
is addressed to Superintendent Johnson as
head of the agricultural bureau of the
Nebraska commission. All these things are
wrong and directly contrary to the most
positive Instructions Issued again and again
by the Transportation department. The
special ' rates made by the railroads require
that th'e Identity ot the exhibits must be
preserved and the exposition is bound to
BCO that this Is done. The exposition being
the responsible party , all shipments must be
made to It.
"This whole matter was gone over very
carefully several months ago and there Is no
excuse for a misunderstanding at this late
day. It was thoroughly understood that the
f
usual terminal charge would be made on the
Nebraska exhibits the same as on all other
exhibits , but an agreement was arranged
vrhlch would have done away with all diffi
culty if It had been followed. The com
missioners said they could not pay out any
money , but were obliged to have everything
paid by means of vouchers In tbo regular
way , and I then secured an arrangement by
which the express company having the con
cession for hauling the exhibits agreed
to pay all terminal charges of
the Nebraska exhibits and render *
bills for the same to the commission. It
was also arranged that the shipments from
oil parts ot the state In small lots should
be collected nt the downtown depots and
token to the grounds In largo enough loads
to entitle the commission to the lowest rate.
Instead of carrying out these arrangements
they hav been violated on nil sides , nnd the
result Is'that the railroads are Inclined to
treat the , , exhibit * na ordinary freight be
cause the'shipments are addressed to Indi
viduals Instead of to the exposition. There
is nothing to prevent any person shipping
all his household goods and effects as expo-

Fncllltlrn far flmnli ShliMirr * .
ncgardlng the reported trouble concerning
the shipment of small packages for replen
ishing the various horticultural and other
exhibits , Mr. Itabcock sold ample provision
had been nmdo which would be entirely sat
isfactory to all concerned. The greater pait
of this material , ho said , would be shipped
by express , and arrangements have been
made by which all of the express com
panies will maintain offices on the
ground * and these companies have arranged
with the American District Telegraph com
pany to deliver all express matter billed to
people on the grounds. The charges to bo
made for this service will be only such as ,
la made by the American District Telegraph
company , the exposition having nothing to
do Vlth this matter , but Mr. Dabcock said
the charges would bo reasonable. For small
packages which may be carried In the band
Mr. Dabcock said these might bo carried
Into the grounds by the consignee or by any
delivery wagon driver. In short , the aim
of the exposition management , according to
Mr. Dabcock , Is to give exhibitors every
raclllty for making their exhibit without
levying a scries of extortionate charges ,
"There was a slight disturbance on the
grounds yesterday over an express company
attempting to unload goods on tbo ground
and haul them to the space of an exhibitor.
They were very properly stopped from doing
eo , and any other company or Indlvldua which
undertakes to do the same thing will meet
with the same treatment. One of the
conditions under which special rates were
obtained for the exposition was that the
Identity of the goods must be preserved In
order to get the benefit of free transporta
tion on the return trip. The exposition Is
responsible for this Identity and is required
to certify to that fact before the goods will
bo accepted for return to the original point
of shipment. If Tom , Dick and Harry are
allowed to go to the grounds and unload
goods and 'place them on the space of the
exhibitor , how Is the exposition to keep
track of 'the goods and know that the same
goods nfo returned ? The company having
the concession for the hauling on the
grounds Is under bonds to the exposition
for the proper performance of Its duty and
the strictest account Is kept of all ship
ments. This company Is responsible to the
exposition nnd the exposition Is responsible
to the railroads. "
INDEPENDENT HXI'HESSMBN'S SIDE.
Illxtory of the Contract fur a Monopoly
ely of the IlnnlliiK niiHlnenN.
The expressmen who were arrested
Wednesday for violating the rules of the ex
position In hauling goods Into the exposi
tion grounds were yesterday discharged for
lack of prosecution. The Independent ex
pressmen are very much worked up over
what they denounce as an attempt of the
transportation department of the exposition
to turn nil of the exhibits over to a monopoly
under the form of a contract with the ofll-
clnl express company of the exposition.
"The exposition Is trying to freeze out all
the small expressmen , " said a representative
of the Independent expressmen. "The public
ought to be Informed of the method by
which the present situation has been brought
about. Dack In January Manager Dabcock
Invited all the 'principal expressmen of the
city to a conference for the purpose of dis
cussing arrangements by which the condi
tions exacted by the railroad companies
could be compiled with. A preliminary prop
osition was agreed upon and signed by all
the express companies , Including the one
which has been designated as official , limit
ing the number of teams to be used and ,
specifying maximum charges. This Is what
Manager Dabcock now characterizes as a
combine which ho has broken up by making
a contract with one member of the combine
to monopolize all the business. This propo
sition provided for a charge of $1 for small
trips and 8 cents a hundredweight for gen
eral hauling.
"In February Manager Dabcock asked ex
pressmen to submit bids on exposition haul
ing , but a few days later withdrew the in-
vlUtlon owing , as he sold , to the unsettled
condition of the freight delivery proposition
and promising to submit another set of
specifications for further bids as soon aa
matters were adjusted. The next thing wo
knew Manager Dabcock had had himself em
powered to make a contract for the nominal
consideration of $1 for exclusive hauling of
exhibits with a member of the exposition
directory. Naturally protests were entered
against this arbitrary proceeding and the
executive committee required a change in
the contract giving the favored company
under the title of 'official express company'
an exclusive right within the grounds.
"The contract moreover provides rates
higher than those suggested In the first con
ference. The charge for small trips Is $1 ,
the same as in the memorandum , but the
charge per hundredweight on goods hauled
from local depots Is Increased from 8 cents
to 12 cents per hundredweight , though the
rate on hauling from the exposition terminal
Is reduced 2 cents , or from 8 cents to 6
cents per hundredweight. The expressmen
do not regard this contract , designed to
create a monopoly and let without considera
tion and without competitive bids , as having
any valid force. They Insist that they have
a right to get all the hauling exhibitors may
give them and they are determined to re
sist all efforts of the exposition to make the
offlclal monopoly effective. "
niUTISIf-CANADIANCLWD PLANS.
Arrangement * for Headquarter * for
KxnoHltlon VUltor * Under Wny.
The British-Canadian club held its regu
lar weekly meeting In the exposition head
quarters last'nlght. The chief object of the
meeting was to determine on a suitable
room to be uaed as headquarters where
British or Canadian visitors might como on
arrival In Omaha , register and be directed
as to rooms , etc. The committee on head
quarters was supplemented by the president ,
who Is to call another committee together
and complete the arrangements and report
at next regular meeting. May 26. It was
suggested that this was an opportune time
to pass resolutions of sympathy and respect
on the death of William 13. Gladstone. The
president appointed a committee which 1m *
mediately drafted resolutions to that effect
and the same were ordered spread on the
books of the club. P. L. Forgan made a
speech in which he enld that be had the
honor of being personally acquainted with
Mr. Gladstone , and words failed to express
the appreciation be had of the "grand old
man. "
The president requested the members to
hand In the names of all Canadian and Brit
ish papers , so that literature on the exposi
tion might be dent them for publication. He
said that already the Canadian papers were
beginning to advertise the exposition , and
that the government officials Intend visiting
Omaha some time this summer.

President F. M. Sterrett of the Missouri
Exposition commission bu lent a circular
letter to the mayors of the principal cities
In Missouri , to Governor Stephens and to
the members of the commission , asking
them to suggest a data for Missouri day at
the exposition. When these replies nro re

ing for the Apollo club nnd the St. Louis
Amateur orchestra to come to Omaha on
Missouri day ,
The women's clubs of the state are taking
an active part In assisting the state com
mission In preparing a state exhibit , their
efforts being chiefly centered on the educa
tional question. All the woman's clubs of
the state , of which there arc about 100 , have
been asked to help and the manner In which
they are responding , although not called
upon until the last moment , Is the source of
great encouragement to the committee hav

Exhibitors are now bending every energy
to get their booths erected , decorated and
exhibits placed. A great amount of night
work will bo done next week. The Incan
descent electric lights on the Government ,
Agricultural , Manufactures and Machinery
and Electricity buildings , the Administra
tion arch , government colonnades and the
north half portion of the lagoon have been
tested and give complete satisfaction. The
first test was made last Friday , nt which
time the current was turned on by Miss
Kathryn Bartholomew ot Omaha , The ma
chinery In the power and electric plant Is
In perfect running order , and with a few
days more work will bo entirely completed.
The unpacking of exhibits Is being accel
erated and the crews are being Increased.
The space in the Manufactures building Is
almost occupied with the exhibits , those
having lately arrived being the Majestic
Steel Kongo company , the Walter A. Daker
Cocoa company , National Linseed Oil , Frank
Martin , fur skin dresser and dyer of Mil
waukee , Cuilahy packing Industry of South
Omaha nnd tbo P. D. Deckwlth company. A
visit to this building convinces one of the
progress that can be .made as soon as the
exhibits on the floor.
The General Electric company of Schcnoc-
tady , N. Y. , has just emptied a car of mate
rial In the Machinery and Electrical build
ing and will make an exhibit the equal ot
which has perhaps never been seen. The
printers and pressmen who may visit the
exposition will have the opportunity of see
ing the progress made In presses. The
Mlchlc Printing Press company of New-
York will have a good exhibit , which has
already arrived and Is being placed In po
sition. The Dexter folder will also be an
other attraction.
The four colonnades which are to be the
chief attraction In the Mines nnd Mining
building arc fast being completed. The
states of Utah , Colorado , Montana and Wy
oming will make their exhibits therein , the
like of which has never been surpassed.
Visitors are no longer permitted In the
Fine Arts building on 'account of the great
amount of work being done In the un
packing of paintings. Director Griffith has
been absent in DCS Molncs for several days ,
but the work goes merrily on In charge of
Assistant Paul Charlcton. The French col
lection of paintings from -New York City ,
consisting of sixteen boxes , was received and
unpacked yesterday. This collection equals
half of the money value of the entire exhibit
and Mr. Charlcton has been kept quite busy
visiting the city at Intervals and placing In
surance on the paintings as fast as they
are unpacked. The area between the two
sections of the Art building Is being sodded
and beds of beautiful flowers nnd plants
placed therein. When completed It will be
ono of the prettiest spots on the grounds.
On the Midway the same bustle and hurry
Is noticeable. Hundreds of workmen are
striving with might and main to get the
buildings completed and the attractions In
stalled. One of the novel features of the
show at present Is the work of the Chinese
artisans who nro erecting the Chinese vil

to an exceptionally good season. Mr.
Bridges thinks that the wheat acreage of
Nebraska this year is at least 25 per cent
greater than it was last year and all the
wheat is doing so well that if the price

HAYDEN DUOS.
Military I'I-INOIXTM Wit lit a Chance.
FORT CROOK. Neb. , May 17. To the Ed
itor of The Dee : There seems to be a de
sire among general prisoners to be restored
to duty , that they may go to the front and
fight for their country. A great number of
these men are serving time for violation of
general orders In time of peace , and would ,
If released , be willing to render such
service as may bo ordered. Many of these
men have from one to three enlistments
with excellent dlsharges and feel mortified
because there has not as yet been given
them a chance to declare themselves if re
stored to duty. Many , if not all , of these
know of the release of prisoners during , the
war of 1SG1 to 1SC5 , and they hope that
President McKlnley will Issue an order to
restore all who are serving time for viola
ting orders In time of peace. Of course ,
they understand that In time of war the
strict observance of orders Is required and
If not observed they know the penalty.
Many have been unfortunate In that they
believed that the offenses of which they
were guilty would be punished with light
sentences , if punished at all. Knowing
that the newspapers are the medium
through which public sentiment Is created ,
they feel that it would bo indolence in
them If they did not at least make the at
tempt by bringing their cases before the
public. Hoping this will find space in the
columns of The Bee , nnd believing If It
does that it will bo reprinted by other In
fluential papers , It Is presented In behalf
of the United States military prisoners.X. .

The Death Itate.
While it is aulto true that the proportion
of deaths from malaria as an Immediate
cause Is proportionally small as cited In
annual mortuary statistics , yet physicians
are thoroughly convinced that It causes
maladies of a f-tal character and begets dan
gerous nervous prostration. The malady
Is eradicated and prevented by Hosteller's
Stomach Dlttcrs , which also cures bilious
ness. constipation , rheumatism and dyspep
sia.

45 Cents.
There isn't a store in nil America tlmt eelle goods na 1
clienp as The Nebraska does day in and day out- - ,
good goods. You probably know that. You prob
ably" know that we never cut the price on one article
and make it up on the next. You probably know
that we are conducting a equate , straight business ,
without any tricks or schemes , and that we avoid
catchpenny methods and catchpenny statements as
scrupulously as we avoid job lots and Bankrupt
Stocks and trashy bargain counter wares. You can't
buy a poor article at The Nebraska and you can't
buy an article that we are not willing to exchange or
give your money back for in case you don't like it
after you get it home. Today wo call attention to
an immense line of Men's soft bosom Summer Shirts
made for us , made up right , made up with correct
measures and correct sleeve lengths and in correct
patterns from materials that will wash well and
wear. Our price on these suits while they last will
be 45 cents each buy one or a dozen and at this
price we consider them amongst the very bust shirt
values that we have ever shown. They are as superior -
ior to the 49 cent shirt of bargain counters as a
broadcloth breeches is to a pair of cheap jeans. See
these shirts. They'll stand seeing.
