Fillmore of Clairemont , Cal. , who was heard on the scientific aspects of Indian music last Saturday , has been a resitient of California three years , having gone there from Milwaukee were ho was for several ycars. lIe is director of music in l'omnona college. It things rero as they might have beeji. as ho explains , the postoflico address of the college would still be Clairetnont hurorier , but it railroad corporation that has a good deal to do with destiny , started to boom Pomona and that place somewhat over- shatiows Claircinont. however , Mr. Fillmore - more says that ho has a flue school out there oil the coast and the climate of California seems very dear to him now in a place where he suffers front the boat a good deal. Mr. F'ihhinoro is now teaching in his thirty- first consecutive year in music and be feels that ho it ; very ncnrly what. you would call It veteran lii thin art-art that Is a business to an extent. lb goes from here to Chicago , and will eventually arrive at Boston to attend - tend the half-hundredth ussemblying of the American Association for the Advancement 01 : Science of which he is it member. lie- fore that learned body he vili present the same paper on Indian music. The convn- tion of scientists will be held August 22 to 27. Mr. Fillmore has been making a special study of , time music of the primitIve race for the rast teit yeats and a great deal of his experIence has been directed along that line. lie takes a deep interest in tile sub. jcct iuitl says he hopes to secure some more valuable data before it. is too late. "In a few years more , " said he in the cotirse of an interesting talk with a reporter , "our Indian songs will be dying out and mtich beautiful historical legend will be lost to its. Away out in the Sami Jacinto znoun- talus in California there is a couple of old Indiaiu chiefs of the now almost defunct tribes. I was up there a few days Inst fall ahid I am going back there this ( nil to spend two weeks. The chiefs have the rituals of tiieir tribes and from them I expect to get 5011113 rare data for the study of Indian music in their conhuilla. " William Gyger , for a long three connected witit tito retail furniture business in this city , hut. for the last seven years wRit John \Vanamaker of I'iiiladelpha ! , has been in Omaha iluring the last week visiting friends and attending the exposi- tioui. Mr. Gyger has traveled a great deal auth has visited every exposition held in the United States since the Centennial. In speaking of the Transinississippi Exposition , he said : ' 'I had hearl wonderful stories of the great show , but I had no idea of Its beauty and magnitude , It surpasses arty- thing that I have ever seen , so far as the arrangements of grounds and buildings 18 concerned. The buildings are better arranged - ranged tItan those of any of the other cx- Iiositiohis. Ileing built around the lagoon , enables one to visit them without being coinpehieti to walk for niilcs , The grounds are simply superb , especially the bluff tract , whiicjm I consider one of time prettiest parks in the country. The Illumination at. night. reminds one of the tales of fairyland. The tiiousands of lamps that shine nlong the lagoon ailti from thu buildings give the idea of being lii a magic city. Taking everything - thing into consitleratloru , I think that the exposition PeoPle have bulideti vell and that the result of their labors will be felt for years to come , As far cost as Phila- dclphila people are talking about the exposi- tiort and ilunlng th fall I feel certain that runny lucovlo front tIme remote east wiil visit Omaha.

Jienit 1'nrt , lIon , Peter Jansen of Jansen , Jefferson county , is in tito city , visiting the expost- tion and calling upon his numerous friends , Ito is known not only as a prominent Nc- braslia republican , but also as one of the substantIal farmers of the state. Mr. Jansen - son is coo of the largest. shecp raisers in the country , santo years having fed as high as 25,000 head. Speaking at political matters , Mr. Jansen said : m"7iils year .Iet- ferson county will get back into tine and this fall It will roll up one of the old tifnc majorities for the entire reptmbiicam , ticket flout governor ilown to road supervisor. Many , and I might say most , of the repubti- cans who went over to ti populists will ho with us this year and most. of them will vote the whole ticket , providing good men are dnced lit nomination. These men have tired of the CXllOtied argument for the cheap dollar and with p osperity , Mc- Kinley's splendid administration , the method of handling the war with Spain and tIme magnificent. crops that. arc maturing , they are anxious to again cast. their tot with the republican party. "Judge Baker in his candidacy for gay- ernor will havu the , lifrnatnn that .rnes from Jefferson county to Lincoln. Our eon- vention will ho held at Fairbury the mu of this month and at this time It. 'looks as though the delegation would be instructed for , liakcr , na ho lived in our cot.-.ity for twelve years , "Tunes are unusually good in the south part of the state , WLeat has t.een harvested and is yielding from twenty-three to twenty- five bushels per acre. Corn is backward1 but has a good stand and with good weather from now on , will be moro than an average crop. Fruit. and the root crop is the best ever known In the history of the country , all of which has helped the farmers. In fact most. of our farmers arc rich and arc money loaners Instead of money borrowers. Almost every farmer in Jefferson county has a good-sized bunk account and it is sd- ibm that one of them has to borrow money. " "As to the exposition , It. is a magnificent show , and sontething of which every citizen of the state should feel proud. In many respects I consider It better titan the World's fair. In my judgment the exhibits have been more carefully selected , so that noth- lug but the best Is bhown. Later In the season I predict that the nttenmlance will be enormous. Out in our portion of the state everybody talks of the exposition and as soon as the crops are harvested , thousands of farmers will visit Omaha , uumany of them to remain from one rcek to ten days. I run sending every one of the twenty-five men iii my eniploy to the cxiositloml. I give them their time , pay their expenses , anti send to Omaha. in squads of fire , allowing tltein to stay oiie clay. Other farmers will likely tb the same with their help and in this way we expect to help turn out a big crowd.

As warrants cannot be legally drawn unless there Is money in the fund to meet the bliation it is more than likely that the dealwiit not be consummated until there Is another meeting of the coun- cii1msslbly steps may be taken to prevent. the cIty officials from issuing the warrants.
