I THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : STXDAY , AtGrST 28 , 1898. ALIEN HAS HIS COMMITTEE Eenitor's Prospscts to Ba Looked After bj Edmlzten Anyhow. ONE EFFECT OF GAFFIN'S ' OBSTINACY feefnaal of the ttfnte Chnlrmnn tn Ab dicate nt Reheat of the .Machine lle alt * In nn Independent Campaign Organisation. LINCOLN , Aug. 27. ( Special. ) The Ed- Jnlsten-Allen wing of the populist party , having failed to drive Chairman Gaffin out of the state committee , has at last carried out the threat made some weeks ago by ap pointing Kdmlsten as chairman of a com mittee which will have as Its solo aim the election of a popocratlc legislature. No at tempt is to be made to unite the two committee mittee- and they start Into the campaign watching each other more suspiciously than they do the republican committee. The ap pointment of a committee to look after Allen's chances for re-election was not au thorized by the state convention , but the Allen forces reply to this criticism by say ing that "neither did the state convention 1. tend that the state committee should be ustJ to further the fortunes of Poynter to the exclusion of the other men on the ticket. " So It seems that there Is to be an Allen committee and a Poynter committee , leaving the present state officials who are on the ticket to bustle for themselves. The plan of Edmlstcn Is to discredit Gaffin In all parts of the state and the newspapers over which he has an influence have already commenced the work. The Cedar Bluffs Standard , a populist paper published up In Gaffin's county , says editorially this week : "J. N. Gaffln recently purchased several thousand sheep which he will feed for mar ket. J. N. is all right as a. farmer , but as a statesman he Is not a howling success. " Dncun't Encourage the Other * . In view of these Internal disturbances and the numerous threats that are being made to trade off one part of the ticket for the benefit of another part , the average populist Is not sanguine of success at the coming election. A party of leading popo- crats had a meeting a few nights ago to studr over the chances for victory , and It has leaked out that their conclusion was that the republicans would capture the legislature , would elect the covernor , lieu tenant covernor and secretary of state , and that the fight would be close on the bal ance of the ticket. The committee which Is looking after the fences of the oresont state officials , and which Is composed for the most part of the officials themselves , has prepared and had printed a campaign circular showing the good work of the present administration. It pays much attention to the large amount of money that has come Into the various funds during the last year , and claims all the credit for the state officials Instead of giving It to the county officials and tax payers of the state , where It properly be longs. Yet there Is not perfect unison In this committee , and the circular that has been Issued leads to charges that some of the officers have been favored or bragged on more than others. This plaint comes particularly from the auditor's office , which Is said to have been neglected somewhat when the bouquets were passed around , and there Is a demand that the circular be revised and reprinted before it is cir culated. Die * In Time to Encnpe. Some time ago a citizen of Lincoln by the name of John W. Miller borrowed some money from a local loan agent , giving as security a mortgage on a team , wagon and other property. Miller then left the coun try with the property , and was recently lo cated In Oklahoma. The authorities made the necessary move to get out a requisition for the return of the man to this state when they were Informed by the sheriff of the Oklahoma county that Miller had just died from the effects of a congestive chill. This necessarily placed the man out of the juris diction of the officers and the requisition was not Issued.

The average Kansas cow produces ninety pounds of butter annually , but a Topeka dairyman has broken the record by produc ing 3T3 pounds from the milk of one cow. O. H , Pease , a prominent Topeka man. disappeared two years ago and was never heard of again until his body was recently found In the river at Arkansas City. Evi dently he had but recently been drowned. Kansas' complaint Is too much money. The vaults of the banks of that state are full and bame Investors are In the market for the farm securities held In tbo east. One Kansas banker writes to Commissioner Breldentbal that he has $200 for every person In his town. The Sunflower state never was in such a prosperous condition.

He was shot three times while climbing the bluffs at Santiago. His case Is a mystery to sur geons , as bU brain waj pierced by a Mausei bullet. BIGGEST WEEK OF ALL ( Continued from First fago. ) 'ork has never had a great exposition , al- hough contributing frequently anil liberally o others. One , however , Is projected In luffalo or Niagara Falls , and I trust that le western states will be represented there n 1701. The Transmlsslsslppl Exposition s well known In the east , ( especially by hose who have rend the leading news- mpcrs and magazines , all of which have rom time to litre published long notices f Its course. Thousands have paid little ttentlon to It ; others have failed to realize ts size. But for the war , more notice would lave been taken. People here , I think , do tot realize the Interest that the people n the Atlantic states took In the war. The attendance from the east may bo omewhat Increased by judicious and wlso advertising , but from a financial stand- olnt It Is difficult to see the advantage to be gained by displaying expensive notices o a people who will not and cannot spare he time and money to go 1,500 miles to see ven so beautiful a show as this. One can not come here from New York and remain week for lees than 1100. To make the rip for that sum wilt require the greatest iconomy. Continental travelers , tourists , organized bodies attending conventions , tate officials and commissioners , together with a few wealthy people seeking new ilaces to visit , must constitute the great > ody which the exposition must expect to draw from our state. These may be and are being reached In various inexpensive ways without general advertising , which Is expensive. "Fifty thousand dollars could be easily spent In the east and the result would probably not bring here 1,000 people. Eighty icr cent of the attendance at this exposition must necessarily come and should come from a radius of 400 miles of Omaha. The men and women residing here will doubtless never see the equal of this great exposi tion , and they should be made to attend. 'Exhibitors ' tell me that if the 'head man' here , who is so numerous and difficult to find , could arrange to have the space In the newspapers now devoted to personal and official differences , given to cultivating friendship , and looking out for the comforts , convenience and Interests of exhibitors , who , they say , make the exposition what It Is , they would have nearly 2,000 advo cates writing flattering letters to their homes and to their friends , Instead of as now , giving the exposition management a black eye In each letter. 'I have attended nearly every exposition In the United States , but I never saw such general and universal dissatisfaction. The exhibitors and concessionaires are the silent partners of an exposition , and their wishes and friendship should be consulted and se cured. If necessary a special committee should wait upon them to ascertain their grievances and remedy them , if possible. " LOUISIANA VISITORS ARE PLEASED Will Advertlae the Expedition When They Return Home. A number of the residents of Louisiana are in the city visiting the exposition. They are all delighted and will remain over next week , when they will return home to be come walking advertisements for the big show. All of the men are extensive rice planters and are here on their annual outIng - Ing , which they say every wealthy farmer takes. The party Includes Mr. and Mrs. C X. Abbott of Crowley , Mr. and Mrs. E. T Ravwn and S. J. Johnson of Jennings. They are making their headquarters In the Louis iana section in the Agricultural building. C. N. Abbott and E. F. Rawson formerly resided In Iowa , but went south a number of years ago. Mr. Abbott's father was one of the pioneers of eastern Iowa , having set tled at West Union as early as 1851 , where he pre-empted land. Mr. Abbott has a plan tation of rice that covers 600 acres. Mr Rawson has 3,000 acres , while Mr. J9hnson Is a member of a flnn that has 8,000 acres under cultivation this year. His firm has expended $200,000 in constructing a canal to irrigate the land that It owns. Speaking of the rice culture In the south Mr. Johnson said : "It Is becoming a grea crop and is making people rich. It Is grown to a great extent by the men who have come Into our state from the north. The crop In the south Is much more profitable than in the north , as one acre will produce fou times as much rice as will an acre of wheat and then an acre of rice can be handled jus as cheaply as an acre of wheat. We pu It In in about the same manner as wheat cut it with selfblnders and thresh it with an ordinary grain separator. " All of the Louisiana visitors are enthusl asttc over the exposition , declaring that i is about as good as the World's fair. Louisiana Is beginning to show its fruit , some fine pears having been received. I . , addition to the fruit , there Is some corn tha is the biggest ever seen In this country. I stands sixteen feet high and the Ussels hav not commenced to appear. FRESH FRUIT IS BEING RECEIVED Exhibit * In the Horticulture Build ln r Are Kept Bright. The Horticulture building was visited by thousands of people yesterday , all of whom apparently took a great interest in'the frul that was on exhibition. Most of the tables had been replenished Friday night , and yesterday morning they were as fresh and bright as It was possible to make them. During the day Illinois came in with a lot of quinces , the first exhibited from any of the northern states. They were sent by an editor , who , while publishing a news paper , raises fruit as a side line and makes money. The sender was E. G. Mcndenball , who publishes the Horticultural Visitor at Kinmundy. The fruit growers of Oregon sent In a consignment of Bartlett pears , yellow egg plums , and Pacific prunes. Arrangements have been made by which Oregon's fruit e- hlblt will be replenished three times each week from now until the close of theex position. The. fruit will come In large quantities , and every variety grown In the state will be shown. The Nebraska exhibit received sixty baskets of peaches yesterday. There were twenty-five varltles , and when they were put in place upon the table they made a great showing. Superintendent Youngers Is out in the state looking up peaches and will return during the first of the week. While absent , he will arrange to have peaches come every day. The Los Angeles county exhibit has re- receive a fresh shipment of oranges , belle- flower apples , crab apples , quinces , and Foster peaches. This exhibit receives fresh fruit twice each week , and will continue to do so until the close of the exposition. PREPARE FOR CHORAL CONGRESS.

Nearly 116,000 people passed through the gates during the week , or over 12,000 more than the previous week. The Increase Is found In the last flve days of the week , as Sunday and Monday were lighter than the corresponding days of the preceding week. Sunday was a literal frost In point of attendance , but this was more than offset by the big crowds of the succeed ing days. Today the- week begins without the handicap of a 50 cent admission on Sun day , and if the same ratio of increase is continued that has pulled for the last three weeks the next seven days will swell the aggregate by fully 130,000.
