Nelson G. Pratt was urged to become the
club's candidate for couity attorney. A set
ot resolutions to ttfls effect was adopted.
Congressman Mercer was the first of the
speakers of the evening. Speaking of Mr.
McKinley Mr. Mercer said ;
I have never before seen such enthusiasm
nil over the country as at present. It presages -
ages the sure success of the republican
Party. No other administration over vent
into power under such peculiar dream-
stances as did that of Mr. McKinley. The
. country had grown up as a great peace
power and was not prepared for war , yet
the party solved every probicin that confronted -
fronted it and with such success that the
01)pO5itiofl of antagonistic elements has been
turned to admiration , In all the tumult
attendlug the preparations for the war Mr.
' McKinley kept his heal and as soon as
the country was ready , but not before , the
guns were fired. Tile Party has ( lemon-
stinted that it can ilo iioro than Protest.

A LITU ( 6111L'S ' VISIT TO
1 iiii : EXPOSITION.
Dear Mr. Editor : I know you are a very
busy man , hut I thought you might hiho to
know how a little girl enjoyed herself and
vhat she saw anti heard at the exposition.
so I am going to write nnt ( tell you all
about _ it.
o fIne morning my friend and I started
out for a visit to time exposition. The morning -
ing was cool and pleasant and we anticipated
a fine dat.
After entering the gates we stopped at
the government building , where wo saw
mast everything one could expect , such as
the Ilahicries , war department's and govern-
mont's ' display , and the guile was so
courteous as to explain everything neces-
sary.
sary.After
After passing through the building we
came out upon the east side and stood gazing -
ing os-er the lagoon , it was a beautiful
sight , with its green banks , sparkling
vaters and bright flowers. The white swarm
came pullIng over the water with a load of
laughing children and I thought the exposition -
tion could contain no more beautiful picture ,
I stool gazing at it , forgetful of everything
else , until my attention vns attracted by
the conversation of a man nud woman ,
who , I judged by their dress , had just come
in tr3mn the country. It seems they hind
just been through the government building
and had tailed to understand what building
it was. Setting down lunch baskets , valises ,
wraps , ani SO forth , they endeavored to rend
the name on the side of the building. They
got as far as the United States , but no
farther , when the man said :
"Whew ! Maryt This is a big consarn
when the United States comes to Omaha ! "
flight hero my friend reminded me that
it was time for us to be moving , so ve
passed on and onterei the Agriculture
building , where cereals of every description
Were displayed from ever so many different
states anti counties.
The Missouri headqu'trtersvera fltted up
with a reception room and looked so inviting -
viting with its easy chairs antI its beautiful -
tiful hangings of green and yellow ,
The Rock Island railway has one of the
most beautiful designs in the building. The
cunning little railroad , and tiny cars rattling
over the bridges was Just too cub for any-
thing.
Thiero were many more beautiful and interesting -
toresting things In this building , but my
frienl was In a hurry , so vc had to pass
on , and I vi1l tell you more about it the
next time I write.
\\'hen we got in front of the Manufactures
building we encountered our country friends
again. The woman stopped up and put on
her spectacles , and read the sign , "Drop a
penny in the slot and get a drink of spring
vater , " when she cxclaimcl :
"A penny for a drink of vater ! Well , I
guess not , you don't catch me fooling away
a penny for a. drink of water. Put up your
pocketbook and come on , " and sb went
away muttering to herself.
As the crowd had begun to flu up the
building so it was almost lmposible to get
through. we went over to tIme Midway , as
there was more room over there.
The first place \Vo stopped at was the
Moorish palace. and we laughed until we
were tired at the funny pictures we mnade
in the looking glasses ; and say , Mr. Editor ,
when you go to the exposition don't forget
to look at yourself iii the glass. I know
you will enjoy yourself.
On the inside we found some wonderful
pieces of statuary. The bible stories were
beautifully iliustrated in wax figures. I
found so many people I felt eil acquainted
with , through history , such as Queen Vie-
toria , Lincoln and Uncle Sam , and William
McKinley , our president , and also a life-size
figure of W. J. Bryan , who frowned at me
so fiercely that I was thankful I wasn't a
Spaniard.
There were many more beautiful and in-
teretlng figures that would take too long
to describe.'o had a jolly good time , nod
I will toil you all about it. in my next ,

STAMP TAX ON THE BANKS

In answer to L. W' . Burlin , cashier of the
Columbiami National bank of Boston , Coin-
missioner Scott made the following reply
concerning the estimating of time tax levied
upon banks by the now revenue law :
Tie law , section 2 , slocifically provides
that time tax shall bh computed upon the
capital and that in stimnating capital surplus -
plus shall be lnchtidel ( , In ostimnatiag surplus -
plus this 0111cc holds that undivided profIts
must be included. The law also specifically
proviles that the amount of annual tax shall
in oil cases be computed eu the basis of
capital and surplus for the pr'ceding fiscal
year , and this ( jUice halls that if the capital -
tal and surplus varied from time to
time iluring tIme preceding fiscal year the
saute amy be averages as was spccilhcuily
hiroykIcil by law in the case of capital under
the revenue act of June 30 , 1861. It 'was
found necessary iii the case of deposits Un-
.ler the act of 1SG4 to ascertain time average
by adding together the amounts at the chose
of busimmess of cacti business day and ( livid'
lag ( lie amount by the number of business
days. This inethoil should be adopted under
( lie new revenue law. Time need of averag-
lug is obviously greatest as to individual
profits. it is held to be improper to reduce
the amount of undivided profits by accrued
interest or by profits to be divided ,

One of , the most Interesting exhibits at
the exposition is that of the North Carolina
St'te horticultural society. This exhibit is
situated In the Agricultural building , It
seems that under the auspices of the North
Carolina State horticultural society , acting
in co'opcratton with the state experiment
station , an "experimental farm" was estab-
iished about three years ago at Southern
Pines N. C. The managers of the farm
are constantly engaged in scientifically cx-
permeating to find out what kinds and
amounts of fertilizing materials will produce
the largest crops at the least cxense ,
The three principal elements of plant
food , that is , potash , phosphate and oitro-
gee , are mixed in varying amounts or proportions -
portions , the object being to find , by coin-
paring the growth and yields of the plants
experimented upon , just how much of each
particular ingredient should bo used in
order to get the best results from the differ-
cat crops. The farm is divided into "cx-
perimemital plots , " each being one.tenth of
an acre in size , nail twenty experiments
with each crop are made with different
combinations of potash , acid phosphate and
nitrogen , Some of the results obtained at
the farm are shown in the Omaha exhibit ,
In the exhibit the pictures which one sees
hung around the room are designed to illustrate -
trate at a glance the value of 'the right
kind of plant food when applied to farm
crops
Several of the pictures illustrate expert-
meats with tobacco at the experimental
farm. One picture shows the yield on plot
No. 13 , which was not fertilized. The yield
was just 220 pounds. Another shows the
yield on plof No. 14 , which was moderately
fertilized ; the yield was 1,140 pounds.
Then again there is a picture showing the
yield from plot No , 19. hero the crop was
fertilized at the rate of 30 pounds of mu-
nate of potash , 700 pounds of acid phosphate
and 500 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre.
The yield was 1,620 pounds of tobacco ,
Large nmounts of fertilizer vere used on
plot 20 , but the yield was about the saaie
as on plot 19 , thus showing that excessive
fertilization does riot pay.
This series of pictures of the various cx-
poriments brings out the important fact
that the difference between no fertilizer and
proper fertilization Is about 1,400 pounds
imi the case of tobacco , Practically as great
differences can be shown with other crops.
In other words , the proper application of
the three principal elements , namely , potash -
ash , phosphoric acid and nitrogen , is india-
pesable in profitable farming and the
most successful farmers are those who
know how to fertilize so as to raise the
best and largest crops.
MEXICAN BAND FINALIX ON hAND.
Musicians ( if the S'seimth Artillery to
1'lmrlmiM1t 1hltFIC Here Six Week , . .
The band 0 ! the Seventh regiment of
Mexican artillery has arrived for a six
weeks' stay at the exposition. The organization -
zation reached the city yesterday forenoon ,
forty.two men strong and was escorted to
the exposition grounds. Passes were sup-
piled and then the men went out. to hunt
boarding places.
The band is iii charge of M. yenta , with
Ricardo Pacheco as leader , and is recognized
as the crack musical organization of the
republic. All of the members are enlisted
men and make music and musical matters a
business. They left ( ho City of Mexico last
Sunday night and were on time road constantly -
stantly until their arrival in Omaha , Not-
witlmstanding this fact and their fatigued
condition , immediately after going to their
rooms and washing up and eating , they
were called out for three hours of practice.
Practice , Leader Pachieco says , is what
makes the Mexican army bands perfect. No
matter how much work band men may have
performed and no matter what may be the
occasion or the condition of the weather ,
they are required to practice three hours
each day , ' the year round.
Yesterday the hand practiced in an old
barn on the south side of the sxposition
grounds and after a few notes hail been
played , a crow i gathered about the doors.
After the practice baa oeen finished , it was
the universal opinion that it is the beet
band that has visited the city since the
opening of the exposition. All of the se-
lectlons piayed yesterday afternoon were
by Anicricamm authors and were frequently
applauded.
Musical Director Kelly. who listened to
tIme music , said : "I consider it as fine as
I have ever heard. I will aot except even
Sousa. The exposition has mnalo a great hit
1mm securing this band for the six weeks' run
and Its being here ought to draw a great
crowd daily. I heard he Mexican band in
Chicago during the World's fair and con-
aider this organization far superior to the
one that was there. "
The members of the band were clad in the
regulation fatigue uniform , consisting of a
heavy leather artillery cap , black blouse
with yellow chevrons on the sleeves and
black trousers with red stripes down the
outer seams , The dress uniform which will
be worn at concerts is muclm more showy.

Since the conclusion of ieaco Is assured
the exposition management has begun active -
tivo preparntlon for the grand I'eace ubllee
which will celebrate the event. It was de-
terminel somne time ago that if peace was
declared before the exposition closed it
yould be made the subject of a great celebration -
bration , and immediately on the announce-
macmit that the protocol had been signed at
Washington , President Wattles and Manager -
ger Rosewater took time matter actively
in band , At a conference this mornIng -
Ing with Senator Thurston it was do-
ciled that time jubilee should be held
during the week of October 9 to I , This
will afford ample time for preparation , and
( be week will be made the premier period of
the ecpositlon. On September 3 a oomnmittee ,
consisting of Senators Tlmuraton and Alien ,
Congressman Mercer , and at least three
nwmbrs of the exposition directory will call
on President McKinley to secure his consent -
sent to be present , with the members of his
cabinet , and participate In Ce celebration.
Letters have also been addressed to the
governors of all the tranamississippi states
and territories asking them to join In the
invitation to President McKinley , and it is
confidently believed that by that tinio the
international atmosphere vihl he so far
cleared that he will be able to make the
trip.
St. .Joaeila's , liust hag Conmnmittce ,
The success of the St. Joseph day at the
exeposltloa was largely due to the efforts
of II , 0. Cetchell of time committee on or-
rangenionts , Ed 0 , Wild , committee on advertising -
vortising , and B. A. iCing , A. hI. Wehrmnan
and A. J , Boright , committee on hotel ,
From time ( lame when it was first proposed
to have a St. Joseph day , these macn worked
unceasingly and pulled every string that
they could reach , Speaking of the expoal.
lion , Mr. ( letchell , as the mouthpiece of
the party , said : "We realized that Omaha
lmad a good show and we wanted to bring
a good crowd to enjoy it. For days anti
days wo worked among our business men
and enlisted mimany of them in the cause ,
as a result of our efforts we feel ( bat we
bays been amply repaid ,
"The exposition is a success and we are
glad of it. Of course , we ore fromn Mis
souri and have to have some things shown
to us. They have beeti shown , and even
more. When we go home it will be with
I' feeling that time exposition is the biggest
thing on earth. Inform our pee-
pie of this fact , and many more of them
will come here. Time symmetry of time
buildings is beautiful and their contents
exceed anything that 'we cxpected to find.
Taken on a whole , tIme exposition is better
than the World's fair , and it will always
be remembered most kindly by time people
from St. Joseph , The men who worked out
the success of the exposition have is-
played their hustling ability , and their
names will go tlown into 'western history. "

The installation of the Mdxican exhibit
1mm 'the International hall has just been corn-
ploted and the display aIds a very inter-
eating feature to time attractions of the
building. While tIme intitmatries of the country -
try are not so fully represented as was
contemplated when the matter was first
taken up with the Mexican government ,
the exhibit fills a. large space , occupying One
entire corner of the building and affords a
variety of interesting' information In regard
to the conditions that exist in the terrItory
of our southern neighbor , It is in charge
of Albino Ii. Nunclo , who has represented
the MexIcan government at previous expo.
sitions and who is thoroughly famnilar with
the resources anti prospects of the country.
A large Iroportion of the exhibit. is devoted -
voted to a partial display of time agrlcul-
turat resources of Mexico , which are rnp-
idly growing in importance. Ten varieties
of coffee are exhibited , as well as samples
of the coffee bean iii its various stages of
preparation for the market. There are jars
of wheat , showing the difference bets'een
the product of the warmer zone and that
of the north , and numnerous samples of
corn , rice anti other samples. There is an
especially extensive showing of beans which
include twenty vnritics iii additiomm to the
castor bean , from which castor oil is
pressed.
The growth of the cotton industry in
Mexico is also nmade a prominent feature ,
Five years ago the product was hieing In-
ported , ' but now it is being exportel in
large quantIties every year. The climate
is such that two crops can be raised every
year and it is becorninff one of the moat
lucrative products for tue farmer. The tobacco -
bacco industry Is represented by an exten-
sire display of cigars and cigarettes of Va-
rlous grades in addition to samples of the
leaf. The tobacco is decidedly darker than
time American product anti its rich but somewhat -
what rank havoc is familiar to most srno-
hers.
Feminine visitors to time building are attracted -
tracted by the display of silk and of drawn
work and embroidery. A quantity of very
pTetty silk shawls and ribbons are exhibited -
ited and the drawn work contributed by
the Mexican women includes a number of
very original designs that are worked out
with wonderful patience.
Several of the cases are occupied by a
collection of mineral specimens furnished
by the Geological institute at Mexico. These
Include a variety of formations of gold , all-
ver , lead , copper and zinc , many of which
represent very valuable deposits. The ills-
play of Mexican onyx is particularly heau-
tiful. It includes various grades and colors
from the pure white to variegated patterns ,
all of which take a high polIsh and corn-
pare favorably with the finest specimens
that are exhibited elsewhere on the grounds.
A large collection of statues and still life
groups modeled in cloth represent the dec-
oratlve genius of the Mexican Indians and
these are pretty enough to be classed as
works of art. A huge saddle with spurs ,
riata and other accessories Is a remarkably -
bly handsome specimen of embossed work
on leather and is valued at several hundred
dollars. There Is also a large display of
carpets manufactured from jute and a 001-
iectlon of public and private records illustrate -
trate the methods of keeping these records
that prevail.
