DOUGLAS COUNTY SKTS Tim PACE ,
Bhon-N the AVny for the Kxhlhltom
tif Fruit Rt tha ICxpo ltlon.
While It was no special occasion , it was
Douglas county day just the same at the
Horticultural building yesterday. The
county exhibit has been kept in perfect
shape since the opening of tbo exposition ,
but a couple ot days ago Superintendent
Walker concluded that ho would make some
thing of a spread yesterday , so he piled on
the fruit until he had his tables groaning
under the load.
Douglas county has always been recognized
as a b' ° ° d location for fruit raising , but yes
terday It set at rest all possibilities that
might l.ave arisen to convince people to the
contrary. Thirty varieties of grapes , twen
ty-nine ot plums , thirty-eight of apples anil
seventeen ot peaches , with a doren of pears ,
were displayed. The fruit was all fresh
and clean and attracted a great deal of at
tention nmonc the visitors to the building ,
mauy of whom mistook It for the entire ex
hibit of some state.
The season does not seem to make an )
difference with the display of fruit made
by Nebraska , and summer fruits are being
shown right alongside of the fall and win
ter varieties. For Instance , apples and
plums , that went out ot market a moutl
ago , and they are In ns coed condition as
when picked. Speaking of this romarkabU
fact. Superintendent Youngers said : "Mud
ct It Is due to the fruit and a good deal if
due to the soil. Our fruit Is the best In thi
\Norld , and again , the soil contains properties
that cause the fruit to stand up and nol
decay. There Is fruit that It raised In som <
of the other states will rot and have to gc
off the tables Inside of two days. Ralsi
the same fruit here after It has been prop.
erly acclimated and It will stand up foi
weeks. Instead ot rotting It will slmpl }
wither. This Is not due to the atmosphere
( or our fruit and that ot other states Is ex.
posed to the same amosphere In this build.
Ing and that while that ahown by other ox
lilbltors has gone to tbo garbage heap oun
Is In a fair condition. This is why wo cat
show cherries that were out of ra&rkc
nearly two montbs ago. "
Yesterday the men In charge ot Iho Nc
b rusk a fruit exhibit changed the peacl
tpbleo , putting on fifty bushels of the fruit
At the same time they renewed 'tho ' grap <
exhibit , placing seventy-five baskets upot
the tables. The Nebraska peaches are rap

ocks. Since that time they have changed
.heir tunes. The fruit has ripened and now-
ill who scoffed a few days ago , nro willing
o admit that the peaches grown In this
state have as flno flavor as any In the world.
With apples it Is the same story and while
it Is conceded that the crop Is short this
season the exhibit is about equal to any In
the building. The exhibit Is large and the
quality of the fruit excellent. Some of the
apples are specked , but this Is a thing that
Is general with about all of the apples
shown , there bolng but one or two excep
tions to this rule. When It comes to grapes
all of the other states take a back scat ,
the people In charge admitting that the Ne
braska exhibit cannot bo beaten.
Superintendents Lane and Fravert , In
charge of the Colorado fruit exhibit , have
rcoelved a letter from Senator Swlnk , one
of the principal fruit growers of Colorado
and a man prominent In horticultural In
terests. Ho Eays that be regrets exceedingly
that the Colorado exhibit has been compelled
to suffer on account of the failure 'to re
ceive n supply with which to replenish It.
Ho adds that during the last week ho has
seen a largo number of the prominent fruit
growers of the state and that they have
promised to take the matter up and send on
fresh stuff regularly.

Decline ? the Invitation.
Much to their regret the exposition offi
cials have been compelled to give up the
plan to secure the presence of the two liv
ing ex-presidents during the Peace Jubilee.
Both Mr. Harrison and Mr. Cleveland will
bo detained by business and neither will bo
able to participate in the crowning feature
of the exposition.
Dr. Miller wired President Wattles yes
terday that ho had just received a telegram
from Mr. Cleveland at Buzzard's Bay in
which the cx-presldcnt stated that , while
he should like to receive the committee , he
owed It to the members to advise them In
advance that ho could not possibly accept
their Invitation. A letter from Dr. Miller
also conveyed the Information that ho had
called on cx-Prcsldent Harrison at his cot
tage In the Adlrondacks and received tha
same answer that Mr. Harrison had given
to a delegation from Chicago , which was a
positive refusal of the Invitation.
John C. Wharton , who went on to New
York , writes that everything Is working
satisfactorily at that end of the line. He
has seen Chauncey M. Depew , Senator
Hanna and other notables and all ha\c
evinced a disposition to co-operate In making '

The famous Innes band of New York will
make Its initial appearance at the exposition
In twx > concerts Sunday afternoon and even-
Ing. In the opinions of many critics this or
ganization has no superior In Its peculiar line
and the local music lovers are anticipating
Its arrival with moro than ordinary pleasure.
The band includes fifty pieces and Is In
every respect a high class organization. At
Nashville It commanded popular favor to a
remarkable degree , and It has appeared In
connection with many of the most Impor
tant musical events In the east. Mr. Innes
Is himself a composer of no ordinary ability ,
and his compositions have been compared
very favorably with those of John Philip
Sous a.
The Sunday afternoon concert will begin
at 3:30 : o'clock and will bo of a sacred char
acter. The exposition chorus will partici
pate to the extent of singing "America" as
the finale of the opening overture and the
rendition of the hallelujah chorus from the
"Messiah. " The band numbers present an
exceptionally choice seleqtlon of popular and
classic numbers , Including two of Mr. Innes'
compositions. The evening concert will be
given on the Plaza , and the program Is the
most attractive that has over been attempted
by a band In Omaha. A good portion of the
music will be new to exposition audiences ,
and It also Includes a number of selections
that have generally been considered as the
exclusive province of an orchestra ,

Flushed with their victory upon several
occasions , the Blackfeet and their allies
have challenged the Sioux and their allies
to do battle upon the Indian grounds Sat
urday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The Sioux
have tccepted and have sworn over the liver
of n dog that was killed yesterday that they
will smlto the Blackfeet and wlpo them out
of existence , so to soeak.
Goes-to-Wnr , the recognized leader of the
Sioux , has had a council with a number ot
I the leading braves of his tribe and gave
I them some points in fighting. He says he
has tired of playing second fiddle all of the
] time and just for luck he said : "I pro-
j pose to change this program. The spirit
of my father looks down upon mo and
> whispers : 'It's proper to have nham battles ,
I but I don't want to see you licked each and
every time. Get out and do something and
show those exposition visitors and the In
dians who are strnncers to the ways and
customs of the Stoux that you are fighters
| from Fightervllle. The way that you have
1 ! been fighting In the past furnishes pretty
| conclusive cvcldence that you and your followers -
' ' lowers are a lot of old women and papooses.
\ Get a bustle on yourselves and do some-
1 1 thing ; take some tcalps and paint things
I red. If necessary , get out and streak the
3 ! pale September moon with red. ' "

that thin afternoon ho will show the Black-

Manacer Clarkson wrote to Colonel Tom
Anderson to suggest that it would bo a good
Idea for the veterans to come on to the ex
position. A reply was received yesterday
that was highly satisfactory. Colonel An

organized an excursion under the auspices
of the Modoc club and It will be a whop

cities Is encouraging.
Among yesterday's visitors was Corporal

To Corporal Van Horn belongs the honor
of planting the first American flag on the

unfudod the flag from tbo fortification In
the face ot a flro that seemed to offer no
possible chance of accomplishing the feat.

work of Miss Barber was so satisfactory
that she wns kept three months and until
after the big rush on Iowa day.

The outstanding district Indebtedness ol
the city at this time amounts to $219,040.
This Is divided as follows : District paving ,
$173,050 ; district grading , $53,670 ; district
curbing , $13,170 ; district sewer , $9,150. Be
tween the present date and August 1 , 1899 ,
district obligations to the amount of $51-
215 will fall due. As a general thing those
dUtrlct obligations are promptly met by
the property owners , but In some cases It
has been necessary for the city to borrow
money in order to meet the payments. At
the rnto taxes are coming In now It Is
thought that there will bo no difficulty about
meeting the Indebtedness duo during the
next year. Money Is apparently easier for
property owners , who have allowed taxes to
accumulate for several years , are now com
ing In and paying up.
