Colonel James I. Boyd. assistant attorney
enera1 of the United States. jn an offlctal
opinion ruled : "The purpoe of the law is
r clear. It was to tax the carrier and not
the shipper. and these provisions undoubt-
ediy ttxed upon cxpreas companies , railroad

the provisions of the law the duty of pro-

It Is a well known fact that the expreas
tompanies paid a similar tax dufln the late

You say : "In the midst of conlctIn

It must be apparent that if the express
Companies continue to require the people to
pay this tax until a decision Is reached 'n '
the supreme court , if in favor of the people
the greater per cent of the people will bare
lost. as the indi'ridual claims will be too
small to push for setUernent , At the same
time the aregat gain to the express corn-

gained a victory even in defeat.

If the supreme court decides In your favor

The gentleman who his the selecting of
the vaudeville menu at the Trocadero has
succeeded this week in giving patrons a very
palatable entertainment. The bill is evenly
balanced. There is just enough variety to
It to make it spIcy. VhIle several of the
acts could not be called headliners by any
stretch of the imagination , yet they blend
in so nicely with the big acts that their
crudities and shortcomings are not otfen-
sively shown. Harwitz and Bowers , the
travesty artists , and Frederick brothers and
Tenny , musical comedians , aze easily the
stellar attractions , with Howard's equtne
paradox and Zoyarra , the equilibrist , close
seconds. Messrs Harwita and Bowers pos-
seas excellent singing voices and the songs
of their repertoire are all of their own coin-
position. "Because , " which is at present an
eastern bit. ritten by Mr. Harwitz. is sung
very feelingly by Mr. Bowers and ends a responsive -
sponsive chord in the audience. These gen-
tiernen's satire on "Camille" Is very clever.
as Is also the piano recital of the woes of
the young man whose best girl forsook him.
The act of the Frederick brothers and
Tenny as a musical act Is the best seen
yet at this theater. They use a great var-
kty of Instruments. Their execution is tin-
ished. Their comedy is as bad as their
playing is good.

Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd of the Rough
Riders has returned from Huntsville. where
he went to ascertain the facilities there for
a eaniping place for the cavalry brigade.
The colonel reports that be is greatly pleased
with the accommodations offered by the
citizens of the Alabama town and he Lt of
the opinion that Huntsville is an ideal place
for a cavalr3 camp. Colonel Grigaby and
the remaining officers of the cavalry are
partial to Huntsville and It Is more than
probable that the entire brigade will be
mored there in a very short time. Lieutenant -
ant Way , the engineer otfieer , who is out
! ookin ; over the ground with a view of mnp-
ping out a route for the practice march for
the brigade. has not yet returned to camp ,
but it is stated that the first camping ground
during the march wIll be just across the
Tennessee river. The objective point selected -
lected for the march is Huntsville.
The gratifying report has been made by
the surgeons that the measles has about
been wiped out of the regiment and that th
disease is now fully under the control of the
physicians. There have been a large number -
ber of the cases during the past few days
and the otitcers are greatly relieved , now
that the physicians have the disease in
check.

The different troops of the regiment have
begun placing board ioors in the tents and
it i-s probable that the entire regiment will
be ilcored in a very short time. A board
floor will soon be placed in the hospital.
These itoors are bonaldered an excellent in-
vestment. as there is no doubt but that they
prevent a large amount of sickness.

There are three different styles of Greek
columns. The Done. Ionic and Corinthian.
and although the Greek artists were more
or less Influenced by the Egyptians and
Aseyi-ians. they touched nothing that they
did not beautify. The Dante column is the
moat simple and massive of the three ; the
Done style reached it. . perfection in the
Parthenon. "the glory of Athens , and the
wonder of the world , " The Greek architects -
tects down to the tIme of Pericles show a
marked preference for the Dorlc and Ionic
orders. rather than for the more florId Cor'
lnthian. The comparison of tbeDonlc , order
to the Ionic has been likened to masculine
strength compared teith feminine delIcacy
and grace.
At the east arid wCst ends of the lagoon
the coionnade is composed of the simple.
Sturdy , Dorm columns , with unadorned cap-
Itais and having no bases.
In the MInt and Mining building we
see the delicate and graceful Tonic co1umn ,
with their slender shafts and capitals of
beautiful spiral involutions. One of the
most perfect and magnthcent examples of
the Ionic style of architecture is the Erech-
theium. a temple built on the Acropolis of
Athens for the worship of Athene. Not
only are the olumns of the Mines and Mm-
tog building in the Ionic style. but all the
ornamental detail Is In the same style and
modeled after the luxuriant and rich decoration -
ration of the Erechthetum.
The columns to the lanterns at the coy-
net's of the Mines and Mining building diner
from the others. and are in the Corinthian
style. , s Greece declined , her architectural
style became more elaborate , and on the eve
of Roman conquest the Corinthian style
was in vogue. The capital of the Corinthian
coiuinn-richer In detail than of those which
hnd preceded it-la "a fanciful and ever-
varied decoration of foliage around a concave -
cave ealyx. " The columns supporting the
Incandescent lights around the lagoon are
in the pure Greek Corinthian style. Here
we see united happily In marriage the see-
end century before Christ to the nineteenth
century after all its inventions. The column -
umn represents the evolution of art. the incandescent -
candescent lights. the evolution of science.
The Romans were more conspicuous bar-
rowera than were the Greeks. and in ornamental -
mental detail they simply enlarged upon
the Greek forms. In some of their capitals
they have United the acantbtc.s capital of the
Corinthian column 'withthevolutes of the
Ionic. a combination suiting well the Roman
love for excessive ornament In the ManU.
factures building we find the Roman Dot-fe
columns , the Roman ionic in the Govern-
menu building and the Rottean CorinthIan in
the Art building. The capitals of these
columns are more ornate and occasionally
more playfui than the Greek.
We have a suggestion of Moorish arch- !
tecture in the Streets of Calm. the Moorish
Palace and the Mystic Miize. The horseshoe -
shoe arch and the wedge-shaped arch , rising
first in the form of a semicircle and ending
in a point : flat domes with sharply taperIng ,
or undulating convex outline.- gives evidence
of the fantastic tendency of the Oriental
mind. The exteriors of Moorish buidiog3 !
are bold and plain. the interior is covered
with brilliant decoration. so that one is
reminded of the gorgeous textile fabrica
hung upon the walls of mosques and palaces.
The Moorish artists reveled in interlacing
arabesque decorations , th effect of which
is heightened by a brilliant coloring of red ,
blue. green and gold. This effect l.a sug-
geated by a glimpse of the Mystic Maze.
Different epochs in the world's history
have expressed themselves in the character
of the architecture and these expressions are
called styles. Generally they were a true
expression of the characteristics and pa-
culiartties of the people of the period and
changed with the requirements of the pea-
pie and the place , but not as some suppose ,
with the season as styles do in sleeves.
The Renaissance-in the fifteenth century-
was a re-birth of the old Roman and elassi-
cal forms ; and it is in this style that the
buildings about the lagoon court. in the
main , are built. The columns on the Liberal -
eral Arts building differ from the Greek or
Roman CorinthIan ; they are in the lighter
Italian Renaissance style.
The evolution of the column is an intereat-
lug study ; what man baa achieved in the
past Is at once the inspiration and the harbinger -
binger of what he shall achieve in the
future. ETHEL EVANS.
A LITTEt GIRL'S VISIT TO
e TilL EXPOSITION.
Dear Mr. Editor I wasn't sure that you
would get home in time for Children's day
at the exposition , as I bad noticed by the
paper that you were out of town. I thought
I would go out real early , so I would be able
to tell you all about it.
ii looked so cloudy early in the morning
that I sas afraid the children would be dis.
appointed and some of theta would think
that they would have to stay at home on
account of the rain. But I don't believe
they dId. for everybody was there , and then ,
you know. we Nebraska boys and girls ain't
afraid of water , anyhow.
When the train arrived I got close to the
gates , so I could see them when they came
in' It was a grand sight. Everybody was
dressed in their best Sunday clothes and
the children all bad a smile that told how
much they had looked for'ard to this day.
I am sure they did nor go home disappointed -
pointed ; and , say. Mr. Editor. I don't behave -
have there's another stafth the union that
could have turned out i one day so many
real ladylike girls atid gsilemaniy boys as
Nebrasltn did. and I aol ptud I belong to
thein , , '
It wasn't but a momet 'until the crowd
had scattered in every dfrectton and all
around I heard exclamatonk of wonder and
delight. I think everybod was kept busy
answering questions. It'seems to me there
must have been four ttist'st.tbe number , as
there were boys and girls everywhere-on
the eeesaw , riding the Camel. shooting the
chutes arid on the gwitrh back * nti all so I
good natured and } oily
I accompanied one party of abeet tifte'en
late Ilageeback's wild animal chew anti
they were delighted at the perfermhig lions ,
1eoprds. trained does and cooke's anti they
all wpnt away saying it was the anest thing
on the grosinds , especially the boys ,
About dinner time they f1i'eke4 tewsrd the
state belidings to eat the inneh anti well
filled boxes and baskets were aeon empty
and hung asitI and all were ready for the
afternoon's enoi'ment.
I talked with children from hoper. Nor-
folk. Stanton. Wiener , Pilger. West Point , .
Seribner and Crowell and heard nothing but
praise for our exposition. The only misfor'
tuneS I beard of was a boy losing his pocket-
book. a little girl her rIng and another little
tot cried beceuse she was afraid of the is-
goon. And , say. Mr. Editor , I hope the man.
agers will give the children another day be-
tore the exposition entis. as they enjoyed
this one so much and all had such a good
time. RL'TII SIIINROCK.

Mrs. Petrtfied Buffalo. a Sioux Indian
man , is flmmiy convinced that the medicine
of the white man has some merits. Yesterday -
terday Mrs. . Buffalo partook quite liberally
of nreen corn and cucumbers. An hour
later she developed a severe case of cholera
morbus. She wrIthed In agony on the
straw on the tioor of her tepee. All of the
mixtures of the Indian medicine cheat were
tried. but they failed to afford the relief
sought. A Red Cross wagon call was
turned in and Mrs. lluffalo was carted down
to the hospital. She was put to bed and
the usual remedies were prescribed. In less
than halt an hour the woman was able to
walk back to the camp.
The cure of Mi's. Buffalo was a signal
for all of the sick Indians to begin an attack -
tack upon the hospital and from noon un-
UI late at night Dra. Strader and Campbell -
bell had all that they could do. Comes in a
Hurry was the first Indian to go upon the
operating table. He was dancing around the
camp , having about the same action of a
man who imbibed too freely of Mountain
Dew. He could not tell what ailed him ,
but merely pointed to his head. After
sticking one of his index fingers into his
ear he let out a howl loud enough to drown
the sound of the spielers at the conces-
sions. Running at race horse speed from
the Indian camp. Comes in a Hurry made
a beeline for the hospital and grabbing one
of the doctors pointed to his own ear. The
Indian was flopped upon the operating table -
ble and an instant later both doctors were
probing his ear. Continuing their investigations -
gations they drew out a bug fully an inch
long. It had crawled into Mr. Hurry's ear
while he was lying on the straw in his
tent.
tent.Late
Late last night a party of ten Indians.
including one man , four women and five
children , called at the hospital. all having
ailments. They were treated and returned
to the camp happy. If the rush of bust-
ness continues the hospital authorities are
of the opi ion that the building will have
to be enlarged before the end of the week.
So successful have Drs. Strader and
Campbell been in curing Indians that they
have been designated as the Dig Medicine
men and have been named W'hehaty Koil-
tan Ishisi , or They Who Cure Every Time.

Stcrrett , president and executive director of
the Missouri commission to the Transmia-
sissippi expositon at Omaha , has written a
letter to the president of the exposition
canceling "Missouri Day , " which had been
Set for August 20. The program had been
arranged and the Missouri commission were
awaiting a 1-cent a mile rate from the
railroads before announcing it. Instead of
that rate. Mr. Sterrett wrote. the railroads
would only make a rate of one fare ( or the
round trip so it has been decIded to declare
off "Missouri Day. "
"If the conditions should hereafter seem
more favorable. " concluded Mr. Sterreti ,
"another day can be fixed for 'Missouri Day , '
but if as good results can be obtained by
working up attendance on several different
days for particular localities we will , Ia
either case. do all In our power to have
as large a Missouri attendance as possible. "

"The exposition is much grander than I

generous patronage. " said Fred ii. Stuckey
of Wichita , Kan. " I stopped In Omaha with
the expectation of remaining only a few
hours. hut have spent three days at the
exposition and feel that I eculti have re-
maine-i longer with much profit. The Trans.

the Colunibian exposition and the eshibita
are about as comprehensive in almost all
lines. with the exception of foreign ax-
hibit. "
In speaking of the condItion of Kansas.
Mr. Stuckey said that the state has the best
crop this year which It has bad since ISS $
anti that the prices are much more antis-
