P PEACE JUBILEE PROSPECTS
Omaha Citizens Very Warmly Endorse the
Exposition's ' Undertaking ,
l MAKE IT THE CROWNING EVENT OF YEAR
Comlnir of 1'rcnlilent McKlnley Will
e nn Anmilclniin Incident In Con-
ncctlnti with the fircnt Celc-
hrnllnn Now Manned.
The preparation- ) for the Pence Jubilee to
be hold In thla city to cclehrnto the conclu
sion of the war with Spain have progressed
so rapidly toward a successful solution that
the people of the city are hnrdly ready to
believe that the event Is real. They all
appear to treat the enterprise na one too
good to ho true. The Idea was proposed and
arrangements to carry It Into effect have
been completed to rapidly that the celebra
tion almost stands before the public In
Its fullest scope before It was generally
understood the enterprise was to bo under
taken. A number of citizens were asked
their views of the Jubilee and the result of
those Interviews appear below :
Mayor Frank K. Moorcs : There Is no
tnoro fitting place In this country for a
peace Jubilee than In this city. The exposi
tion IB eminently nn enterprise of peace , and
It Is proper that In connection with It this
great celebration should be held. Properly
managed , us 1 believe It will be. with a fair
rate by the railroads , and the presence of
President McKlnloy , 200,000 people will como
to Omaha. It will be a great event , and I
will do all I can to help make It a success.
General John C. Cowln : It will be a grand
affair and should prove to be one of tl.o
greatest assemblages ever gathered tocethcr
in the west. I hope there will be nothing
occur to Interfere with the president's com
ing , oa his presence will bo a great attrac
tion in Itself. However , wo shall undoubt
edly have other distinguished leaders of the
government and officers of the army and
navy , BO that the peace Jubllio u.ay beheld
held anyway.
Edward Hayden : If It Is carried out on the
lines mentioned It will be a big thing. I
want to see It a success , for It 'fill be the
event of a lifetime. I bavo been fearful
that Chicago would anticipate us and get
the glory for the celebration , but I believe
It has gene far enough now , with President
McKlnloy's promise to attend , to make this
the ofllclnl celebration and give to Omn.lia all
the credit'attaching to the success of the
enterprise.
Thomas Kllpatrlck : It Is a glorious Idea ,
and Mr. Rosewater deserves much credit for
his part In It. I never was much In favor
of the war , but now that It Is over I ain
glad there will bo an opportunity to cele
brate the coming of peace. It will be the
biggest thing that ever happened for Omaha.
I would suggest that there be elaborate
musical programs during the week , that the
celebration may take on the character of
praise.
George II. Thummel , United Spates mar-
fihal : It will bo fine. It will bring more
people to Qmaha than the city has ever seen ,
Now If the government could bo Induced tc
send a few more regiments of volunteer
to Omaha in addition to the Second regi
ment , which has been ordered home , thai
they might' bo used In connection wltli
President McKlnley's visit , It will furnlst
one of the greatest celebrations ever wit
nessed In the West. The peace Jubilee ha :
been conceived In wisdom and I Believe II
will develop Into a grand success.
Euclid Martin , postmaster : I know llttlt
of what has been done in refcnco to th (
subject , other than the published an
nouncement of the coming of the president
That alone will bo an Important feature
During my last eastern trip I found the
democrats , and republicans vied with eact
other in showing admiration for Mr. Me
Klnlcy , even among those democrats whi
voted against the president at the election
I believe this feeling nleo prevails In thi
west and thousands wll | come to Omahi
to honor the man whom the public general ) ;
believes handled the war with wisdom am
brought It to a successful close.
*
J. K. Market : I am In favor o' any ef
fort which will tend to lnsur the succesi
of the enterprise , so long as It li.if. rcci tvci
so favorable a start. It will bo the blgges
thing wo ever attempted and as a r.itmbe
of the exposition directory 1 will vote fo
any measure to help the work along.
Oscar I > . Hlllls , .clerk of the United. State ,
courts : If they really carry It out as con
templated It will bo a great thing. Thi
will especially be true If Presldnct McKlnlc ;
conies to Omaha as announced. It will t >
one of the best things for Omaha eve
undertaken.
T. J. Nolan : It will bo the crowntni
evoat of the , exposition and with the prcs
ence of the president , which has been prom
Ised , It will partake of a national fhar
aoter and Omaha will be advertised mor
than at any time In Its history. I think Mi
Rosewater deserves considerable credit fo
his work In behalf of the event.
E. E. Benedict : It will be a. winner fo
Omaha and with the Increased attcndanc
which will naturally come to the exposltlo
about that time of the year the Jublleo wll
bring more people to Omaha than the clt
ever held before during one week.
E. C. Snyder : The success which Mi
Rosewater1 has mot as the representative c
the Transmlsstsslppl Exposition In securln
the consent of the president to visit Oinab
J in October cannot be too onthuslastlcali
commended. It makes possible the crown
ing feature of the exposition , the celcbrttlo
of peace with the communder-ln-chlcf of th
army and navy as the central figure. Shoul
the members of the cabinet ba Induced t
accompany President McKlnUy on his trl
to the exposition city , couplet with th
presence of llfteen senators appointed b
Vlco President Hobart to attenJ the . . > : : pc
sltlon , the occasion would assume a nation :
character , such as nothing else could rlva
and I am sure the people oi the great wcs
would so recognize It by their presence I
an outpouring of many thousands Thcr
has nothing been suggested that wl
meet with heartier response than the pcac
Jublleo.
John O. Yelser : I am for It and hop
that now It has such an auspicious stai
the movement will encounter no obstruction
In Its way to success. It will bo a gran
thing.
V. O. Strlckler : I heartily endorse nn >
thing which will advertise the city an
bring people to the exposition. The peac

aration nnil Knvrectlc Itlvnlry.
Active preparations are being made for
he next butter scoring contest which will
nko place In the Dairy building some day
his week , or as soon as the butter Is In
lace nnd properly cooled. At the last scor-
ng contest , which was last month , Iowa
cored the highest , the Judges giving the
lUtter from that state ninety-seven nnd ono-
lolf points out ot a possible 100 nnd It now
lands the other trnnsnilsslssfppl states In
land to beat that mark. The Minnesota
jutter came In Sunday nnd was placed In
ho refrigerating cases during the night.
Yesterday It WHS nicely cooled and had a
'cry ' fine appearance. The consignment
onslsts of thirty-two tubs of creamery and
airy biittcr.
In scoring butter the Judges take Into
Consideration flavor , body , color , salt , style
f package and packing. Each exhibitor
vhoso butter scores over ninety-five points
s entitled to a medal and a diploma. Less
ban ninety points Is not considered In any
particular.
The Dairy building Is being put In pcr-
ect condition , BO far ns the freezing In the
cases is concerned and the exhibitors feel
icrfectly satisfied. The temperature can
10 reduced to 31 degrees and kept there ,
providing the engines are run night and day ,
which Is now being done.
The Nebraska exhibit , which Is the largest
ono In the building , nnd which will occupy
all of the space on the north side ot the
nterlor is arriving , and is being put In
place by William A. Carpenter , a butter
expert from York. The entire exhibit will
> e Installed by the last of the present week
and will present a very fine appearance.
t Is made up of the product of a number
ot creameries and dairies , but In making It
all of them have lost their Individual Iden
tity and nro shown as having como from
.ho Ak-Sar-Bcn creameries , which every-
> ody knows , means Nebraska.
Omiiha Hey an an Artlnt.
Yesterday Texas was represented at the
exposition by J. Ferdinand McCan of Vic
toria and with htm he brought a painting
which has found a place In the Texas exhibit
In the west end of the Agricultural building.
The painting represents a typical Texas
farm scene. A bull occupies the promi
nent place In the foreground , whllo to th
right and left are broad acres covered with
growing grain. In the rear In a beautiful
; rove is the homo of the owner ot the farm.
J. Ferdinand was formerly nn Omaha boy
and clerked In a Douglas street art store.
While here he painted some , but upon going
toTexas a number of years ago ho studied
art and nt the Midwinter fair held In San
Francisco he placed on exhibition a picture ,
"A Trystlng Place Near Sweet Tralee , "
that was awarded the first medal in the
landscape class.
After leaving Omaha Mr. McCan not only
earned , fame as an artist , but be secured a
fortune and Is now ono of the weathy men
of the Lone Star state. Some years after
going thcro he married the daughter ot one
ot the wealthy stockmen und with the
money that naturally came along he has had
an opportunity to push himself to the front
as an artist.
Navy Incrennen ltd Exhibit.
The dry dock In the naval exhibit In the
Government building Is now In place and th <
regular exhibitions will begin In a day 01
two. The model ot the battleship Illlnoli
has been unpacked and Installed In the dock
It presents a more modern type ot battle
ship than the other models that ore ex
hibited , but In the opinion of the naval ex
perts in the building It does not look a !
though It would be as effective a flghtlnt
machine as the Massachusetts or Oregon
The additional height ot free board offers i
more tempting target to the enemy's gum
and the arrangement ot the upper works Ii
not so well adapted to avoid damage undei
fire.
fire.The
The dock waa filled for the first tlmi
Monday and the big ship was floated In fron
the basin. It was a very fascinating sigh
when the battleship was afloat and as BOOI
as the public exhibitions are begun the ;
promise to make the naval exhibit even mon
popular than It Is now.
Attendance from Everywhere.
If anyone thinks that the exposition at
tendance is limited merely to the people ol
the territory Immediately , adjacent tc
Omaha the Idea can be corrected by a glance
at almost any ot the registers that are kepi
at various exhibits. These show that people
ple are already coming to the exposltlor
from nearly every state In the union ant
the proportion of signatures that represent
far away states Is surprising. Georgia hai
a small exhibit In the Agriculture building
where n register Is kept for the convenient
of visitors. Although Saturday was far fron
being the big day oftho week the reglstei
shows the signatures of people from twenty-
eight different states , covering every sectlot
ot the country. It Is not at all unusual ti
find signatures representing twenty or mor <
states on a single day.
Some Texai Fruit.
Texas has added to Us exhibit in th
Agricultural building by placing a larg
quantity of fruit and vegetables , all o
which are of enormous size. One limb cu
tree bears sevcnty-flv
from a 6-year-old
fine peaches , while thcro Is a pomegranat
vine fourteen feet long that carries twenty
six fine specimens of the fruit , There ar
some onions that weigh as high as tbre
pounds each. The vegetables are all ot th
second crop of the season and are large
than the same kinds of vegetables ralse <
and matured In the north.

drinking fountain and was thumped over the
right eye.
Mrs. E. R. Horton of Boston , the owner
ot the International doll collection In the
Boys' and Girls' building , Is visiting the ex
position with a party of friends. She hnd
expected to bo able to see the exposition In
ono day , but was so pleased with the show
that she has determined to remain a week.
Within the next day or two Kansas will

Mines building. J. P. McCann , mayor of
Galena , has arrived to look after the In
stallation nnd will complete the work be

pleased with the exposition and with the
western country In general.
The colored editors who are holding a
convention down town visited ths exposition
last night and took In the sights. JThey
wcro met by Colonel Richardson of the De
partment of Promotion and escorted about
the grounds. This gontlemau welcomed
them In a short speech and then proceeded

certain. The soldiers will be given the free

ceive the returning volunteers with appro
priate ceremony. The matter will bo taken
up by the exposition officials as soon ai
more definite Information Is received and
the details will be promptly arranged.
Ex-Governor Northen of Georgia Is grow
ing some cotton on the exposition groundi
and It Is doing well. The plants came frorr
Georgia a tow days ago and were Immedi
ately transplanted Into tubs and placed on
the lawn In front ot the state building. Foi
a day or two they wilted a little , but when
the heated spell came on they brightened u [
and commenced to appear fresh and bright ,
The cotton baa passed the bloom period and
carries a great number ot well developed
bulbs. The governor Is of the opinion that
his cotton will be ready to pick long befon
the close ot the exposition. While he doct
not regard this as a great cotton raising
country , he thinks that the plants would
grow end mature right here in Douglat
county.
.AMUSEMENTS.
. . . . . .
The Dorothy Morton company could nol
have hit upon a more Inauspicious occasion
for opening Its engagement here had It re
mained all summer waiting for the opportu
nity. It was certainly an opera hungr )
person who would bravo the torrid heat ol
last evening and It would certainly be
something good which could make him feel
that ho had been repaid for the physical
discomforts. Many did go out and thej
gave every evidence of being entertained ,
The opening bill was Lecocq's three acl
opera "Glrofle-Gtrofla , " which contains ar
abundance of good music both In Us chorus
numbers and for the Individual voices
Miss Morton herself , In the dual title role
has a voice possessed of plenty of powei
and melody which appeared to the best ad
vantage In the solo "See How It Sparkles'
and in the duet "How Will It Be , " wltt
Mr. Edwdard Webb ( Marasquln ) . She san ;
the solo with a dash and brilliancy whlct
elicited a generous encore from the swel
tering auditors and the duet waa Bimllarl ]
favored. In the tippling scene In the second
end act she also succeeded In Inducing thi
audience to forget Its misery. Herber
Wilko-Mouzouk the Moore betrothed o
Glrotla has a good voice and was as pleas
Ing as the characters would permit hln
to be , doing his most pleasant nnd cffectlvi
work In the trio Glrode-Glrofla. Mr. Ed <
ward Webb ns Marasquln has a pleaslni
appearance and a melodious tenor volci
which he uses effectively. Ben Lodge thi
comedian ot the company sings fully a
well as n comic opera singer is expected ti
sing and managed to be ludicrous enough ti
provoke a reasonable amount of laughter
William Stevens has n vigorous tenor volci
which is used advantageously in the choru ;
and Is far from bad In solo. Miss Sylveste
Cornish as Aurora has the presence of :
wife who Is the actual head of the house
hold nnd acts as well as appears It. Mis
Marie Bell , Paqulta the maid , has a gooi
soprano voice and at times sang well but a
others appeared to bo struggling under thi
difficulties ot a cold.
The chorus singing as a rule was gooi
but a couple ot times there appeared to b
some voices which had gone astray 01
time , suggestive ot newly added member
who were short on rehearsals. Most of th
chorus numbers however were well exe
cuted , notably the male chorus of th
pirates and that by the entire compan ;
"The Dawn Is Breaking. "
Taken as a whole It can be truthful ) ;
said that the management has fulfilled it
promises of securing one of the choice *
repertoire opera companies In the business
It is undoubtedly true that It Is as dlffl
cult to be entertaining as to be entertalnei
under the depressing Influence of excesstv
heat , but the company succeeded In a ver ;
generous measure. Glrofle-Gtrofla will b
the bill for the remainder of the week wltl
Thursday and Saturday matinees.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
A portion of the L street viaduct near
the west end has sagged considerably and
it has been stated by the city engineer that
four of the piles which support the road
way have rotted off and are useless. This
portion of the bridge Is not considered safe
For heavy traffic and It Is feared that un
less steps are taken at once to replace
the piling a serious accident will happen.
Two or three weeks ago the question of
making these repairs came up In the coun
cil , but a decision was deferredjon the rep
resentation that possibly the' railroads
might be Induced to repair both1 the via
ducts. City Attorney Montgomery has made
several efforts to have a conference with
the officers of the railroads Interested , but
has never been able to get all of the in
terested parties together at one time. An
examination of both bridges was made by
railroad engineers a short time ago with
a view to ascertaining the need of repairs
and the probable cost. Certain of the city
officials are confident that the railroads can
be compelled to keep tbjo viaducts in re
pair and If this can bo done the city will
bo saved a large expense. The estimated
cost of repairing the L street viaduct IB
as follows : Painting the Iron work , $700 ;
painting the wood work , $560 ; repairing the
pllo foundation , $500 ; repairing the foot
walk , railing , etc. , $125 ; total , $1,875. Foi
the Q street bridge the cost Is divided this
way : Painting the Iron work , $670 ; paintIng -
Ing the wood work , $340 ; repairs to the fool
walk , $125 ; total , $1.135. Thus for the two
bridges an expenditure of $3,010 Is staring
the city In the face unless the railroads
can he Induced to do the work.
For the City HullilliiK.
United Workmen lodges Nos. 66 and 22"
are figuring on submitting a bid for a cltj
ball building. The membership of thest
two lodges numbers about 600 and It ap
pears to be the desire of a majority of thi
members to Invest money in a permanent
structure here. The lodges own propirtj
at Twenty-fifth and H streets , which ii
considered a very desirable location. Thi
plan as outlined -svould be to put up i
three-story brick building of the same di
mensions as the Masonic block at Twou '
fifth and N streets , both the ground am
second floors to be occupied by the city
while the third floor would bo used as <
hall and lodge room. Several of the prom
inent members of the lodges have beei
making Inquiries in an attempt to ascer
tain Just what Is wanted and In case I
lease with the city can bo arranged thi
building would be put up. It is estimate ;
that the cost would be fully $10,000. Johi
P. Flnley also has property at Twenty-fiftl
and M streets which ho will offer , and thi
agent of the Joslln estate is figuring on i
block In the rear of Mclchcr's drug store
Mayor Ensor would like to erect a bulldlnt
for the use of the city on the ground nd <
Joining his now block at Twenty-fourth urn
K streets. While some think that thli
property Is a little too far away from thi
business center of the city , the locatlot
Is considered all that could bo desired a :
far as surroundings are concerned. It Ii
hardly probable that any attempt will bi
made to make room In the proposed new of
flee building for a fire ball , as was the In
tentlon when the bond proposition came uy
A safe Jail and a commodious police cour
room is , however , desired.
May llalld the Loop.
An officer of the street railway compan :
Is reported to have stated to a city offl
clal that the project of building a lee ]
around Twenty-sixth street In order to di
away with the "Y" on O street Is ngali
being considered. The plan was talkei
over last spring , but for some reason thi
"Y" was built Instead of the loop. Whlli
no serious accidents have occurred at thi
"Y" it appears to be the desire of the com
pany to put a stop to switching at a prom
Incnt corner. In case the Hue Is extendei
all trains will run west on N street ti
Tweuty-ilxth street and south to Q , thenci
east to Twenty-fourth and onto the mall
line. Should this change be made the Al
bright and Q street cars will transfer pas
sengers at Q street Instead of at N street
Such an arrangement would bo greatly ap
predated by the employes of the stocl
yards and packing houses , aa the walklni
distance to the yards would be shortenei
considerable. The Armour and Swift pee
pie would be saved the necessity of trans
ferrlng , as the through trains could b
Uearded at the east end of the Q a tree
viaduct. When the project was taked o

HORSE MAKES A WILP'PLUNGE
Itutinvrny on Donulnn Street
Durluir the Early Hour * of the
31 or 11 1 n K ,
A dramatic runaway occurred on Douglas
street at 1 o'clock this morning In which n
largo white horse with wagon attached
played a desperate part. A patrolman was
I standing at Fifteenth nnd Douglas strcels
when the horse was first seen , galloping
down the Douglas street hill above Sixteenth
street at a high rate of speed. The wagon
wao empty nnd was thrown against the
curb as the horse tried to turn the corner
at Sixteenth street. A hack which was
traveling peaceably along Sixteenth street
kept the horse on Its course , though the
projecting scat of the wagon carried away
Its side lamp as It passed by. At Fifteenth
street the patrolman made a demonstration
In the hope of bringing the animal to a
halt , but It swerved and endeavored to turn
north on Fifteenth street. The pace was
too terrific , however , and horse and wagon
plunged over the sidewalk' and Into the
west window of the Continental Clothing
company. A section of the plate glass , 10 by
18 feet , was shattered to fragments and the
horse , losing Its footing , plunged down the
stairway leading to a barber shop under
neath. The wagon wns thrown bodily
through the window among a display ot
clothing and hats. When the horse and
wagon were extricated It wns found that
llttlo damage had been done beyond a
bokcn wheel and a Jew scratches to the
horse's legs. The owner of the rig , K. H.
Rasmussen , living at Thirty-first and Lca-
vonworth , streets , was notified.

Chief Weather Clerk Welnh spent Satur-
ay evening on the Midway and picked up
few bright Ideas. He was particularly
mprcssrd with n lung tenter , on which for
ho small sum of n nickel one could blow

nought this would be n good ( hlug ,

Old Sol won the prize with case. He did
t at 4 o'clock nnd Just to show he was a
varm member ho did It again at G o'clock ,
t was the first tlmo during the cxposl-
Ion that the mercury has been hit for
00 twice on the same day and the accom-
illshment of the feat drew out strong pro-
ests from those who suffered by the double
number. Old Sol started In for the prize
n real earnest at noon. when ho raised the
nercury to 95. An hour later ho sent It
ip two degrees higher. At 2 o'clock ho
eglstercd 98 ; at 3 , ! )9 ) ; at 4 , 100 ; at 5 , 100 ;
at C , 99 , nnd at 1 , 93. Well content with
ils day's work the old man let down per-

\ould make It warm for any one who
bought he wasn't getting his money's
vorth.
So far as reports last night no ono was
completely knocked nut , but 'there worn
so'veral who felt so badly from the fierce
icat of the day that they retired from the
cares of business before the C o'clock whls-
lo belw. Fnrnara street and other portions
of the down town district were a perfect
glare of sunlight In the middle of the day
and persons who had to be about town dur-
ng the afternoon found the weather condl-
tons but little more agreeable. The ono
hlng that saved the day , and many of the
people , was a cooling breczo from the
louth. It tempered the sun's rays to an
appreciable extent , but did not compel any
one to wear a coat. Most of the business
nen about town went around In shirt
sleeves and many without vest , collars or
cuffs. The feminine portion of the city's
population sought the shade on porches and
n the yards and on account of their cool
costumes received no callers.
HE IS A WARMJOY HIMSELF

bnrlani the Royal Road to Haii-
and Cooler -\Vcnlher.
King Ak-Sar-Bcn IV had to blow his
rumpet four times last evening to as
semble his callent knights about his re
gal throne. It was so warm that even the
oyul courtiers hesitated In forming ranks
'or the reception of the two score of bar
barians who were anxious to become ac
quainted with the civilization of the king
dom of Qulvcra.
Cut If things were warm for the old
< nlghts they were a great deal warmer for
the knlghta-eleot. The rides on the camel ,
on the greased pig , on the giant sec-saw , In
; he ocean-wave-merry-go-round , stimulated
the blood of the Initiates to a marked de
gree and caused them towonder how hot
things really could get. Their tears and
prcsplratlon were soon wiped away with
the foam from shooting the chutes , and by
a copious Bhowof sent from above , much
to the delight of one candidate from the
country who said his farm bad been needIng -
Ing rnln for weeks. The ordeals success
fully encountered , and the periods of dark
ness and dawn safely passed through , the
assemblage adjourned to a midway point
In the great Den of the puissant monarch ,
where refreshments were served and alle
giance WOE again pledged to his majesty.
The king announced to his subjects , while
the latter were on bended knee supplicat
ing for cooler weather and lots of It , that
there would be no meeting on Monday
next. Instead a grand reunion of all the co
horts of the kingdom Is called for Wednes
day evening , August 31. On this occasion
an elaborate reception will bo tendered BOO
delegates to the annual meeting of the
National Dental association. Great prep
arations are being made for this event , and
it Is expected that It will prove , in several
ways , the largest event the knights have
allowed to happen during the reign of
IV.
