The limited spnco In the union depot shed
was more congested yesterday afternoon
than It was any time during the Peace Ju-

was heavy and the weather was too uiirniii-
fortnble- for the passengers to remain out
on the broad space about the depot tracks.
Between the hours of 4 and C ono could
scarcely llirn around VTlthln the wooden sta

day vva' one from DCS Molnes over the
Northwestern railroad It arrived at 3 p.

Blrous of celebrating their lodge day nt the
exposition on Monday While this was the
only npwlnl train , there were n great num
ber of special parties , mostly of Odd Fel-

Homowurd-bound travel of exposition
visitors was noimnl yesterday. It was not
so heavj ns on Thursdav , Friday or Saturdaj
of last ) week , but It caused nil of the trains
to leave the Tenth sticct stations with from
one to six extra cars attached. The west

passengers. One of tlio heaviest trains out of
the union shed was the Milwaukee evening

W. II. II. Price , the last of the builders
of the old Lincoln car , now exhibited at the
Transmlsslsslppl exposition by the Union
Pacific railroad , died at his home near Fort
JlcPherson , Ga , on Octobci 8 , and his re
mains were burled on October 12. H had
licen his hope to visit the exposition and
again see the historic relic that he helped to
build , but during his Illness of the last
eight weeks he was forced to give this up.
Throughout the last jcar he had frcU ( ] ntly
written to The Bee concerning the old car
find his deslro to sec It restored to a condi
tion similar to that In which It left the
shops when built In one of his last letters
to The Bee ho spoke of the car and his do-
elre to see It In affectionate terms , and sale
Jio would while here endeavor to see 1
something could not be done toward pre
serving the national relic It was through
Ills letters to The Bee that this paper was
enabled a short time ago to present the firs
true history of the Lincoln car ever pub
lished.
The deceased was born In Cllzabothtown
Pa. , on November 16 , 1810. He served his
apprenticeship In car building at the Penn
oylvanla railroad shops at Ilcnlvu , Pa
When the war of the rebellion broke out ho
enlisted In the union army , but served only
a short time , accepting tha position of fore
man of the government car shops at Alex
andria , Va. During the latter part of 1803
lie was Instructed to build n private car for
President Lincoln , and the car was com-
jilctod shortly before the president was as
sassinated. H Is generally believed that this
car was used to convey President Lincoln
to the front of military operations during the
iwar and was protected bj sheet Iron. These
/also notions about the car wcro corrected

the car made after leaving the shops was to
convey the i cumins of the president to

Ten splendidly wrought brass cannon from
Santiago do Cuba have recently been placed
In position near the front of the Government !
building An expert has examined them and
pronounced them remarkably fine specimens
of ancient cannon. They were all manufac
tured In the gun factory of Douay , France.
Hvery gun has Its name placed well to the
front About twelve Inches below the name
Is this legend In Latin. "Lltlmn Hatio
Ileguin" ( The last argument of kings ) Be

house of Bourbon , the ones more frequently
occurring being those of "Louis Auguste dc

Immediately beneath the name la the roval
coat-of-arms of the Bourbons of Frnnco.
Iho shield Is surmounted by n crown com
posed of lleui-de-lls. Three llcur-de-lls nro
emblazoned on the shield , which Is sur
rounded by the collar of St. Louis. Just be
neath the shield Is one of the oldest and
most valued decorations of the nnclentl re
Kline , the Cioss of St. Louis. This entire de
sign , exquisllely wrought , rests against a
backgtouud of flags draped above gun car
riages and piles of cannon balls. Here a
band of btonze cnchcles the gun. Then
thu a la a graceful scroll bearing the motto.
"Nee Plurlbus Impar" ( Unequaled among
many ) . Beneath this Is n woman's head cen
tered In a glory composed ot the rnvs ot the
HUU nt full noontide. The last piece of flno
ornamentation on the gun Is a reproduction
of the royal arms as described above , except
that the device Is a llttlo larger. Each gun
haa two handles made of two dolphins , every
scale and tin being beautifully reproduced In
the bronze. The patient artisan did not stop
with this highly ornnto barrel of the mag
nificent gun , but made the icar end to re
semble a powerful female head , presumably
the famous Gorgon head which adorns the
aogls of Minerva. The names of these guns
are "Lo Furet , " "Le Faronche , " L'Unlvcr-
sel , " "Lo Conquorant , " "Lo Passe , " " Lo
Prince de Conde , " "Lo Fucheux , " "Le
Comte d'Aigenson , " "Le Fourbo , " "Lo Ef-
fronte " They were manufactured by Beren-
gcr , commissalro des fontcs , nt Douay , and
aio dated from 1748 to 1735 , except "Lo
Paroncbe , " which was made by John Mat It/
at Douay In 1748 , and "Le Passe Partout , "
made In Douay In 1693 This last gun has the
liourbon arms emblazoned only once on it
and near the mouth Instead of the name of
one of the royal Bourbons aio the name nnd
arms of lo mareschal , Due de Humleres.
Sometimes flic name Douay Is Litlnl/ed Into
"Dttacl " to accord with " "
, perhaps the "fecit ,
which word these guns founders Invariably
used.
As these are French guns of the date In
dicated , the supposition hero is that Wiey
weio the guns captured from Napoleon Bona
parte during his dlsastious campaign In
Spiln. As weapons of war , thq beautiful old
flcldplecrs are worse than useless nnd more
dangerous to those handling them than to
those aimed at , but as works of art and us
souvenirs of rare historical value they are
easily flist among similar possessions of this
republic.
These guns were sent directly from Snn-
J.igo by General Shatter to Major Word , -who
Is In charge of the exhibit of the War de
partment here.

afternoon and confessed tholr guilt to the

broken Into the store on ten different occa

Ho reported his suspicion at the police
station and Detectives Dillon and Welsen-

they watched without discovering anything
wrong , but early yesterday morning they
heard an upper window softly swing open.

While It Is not an exhibit , one of the
moat Interesting things seen at the exposi
tion shoeing the development of the trnns-
mUfllsalppI country Is an old map of the
United States , owned by Gilbert 13. Purple ,
publisher of the Tloga County Herald , I
Newark Valley , N. Y. Mr. 1'urple was at
the exposition last week on his way home I
from a visit with relatives In the western
portion of Nebraska and while there ho so-j
cured this old map The map Is of date
of 1S33 and was published by J. Carpenter
of New York City It H In colors , appear
ing much like the maps of the present day , j
showing the lines of latitude and longitude
and having a scale of miles.
The map shows twcnty-fl\e states and
four territories The states are those east
of the Mississippi river , with the exception
of Wisconsin and Michigan , which were then
teirltorles. Arkansas on the map Is desig
nated as a territory , while all of the coun
try to the north of Missouri Is designated
as Missouri territory All of that section
to the west IB given the name of the Great
American desert , arid and tin fit for habita
tion or cultivation. Out In the viclnty of
Colcfrndo and to the 'wust the map Indi
cates that there arc mountains , but the
niapmaker has added that the country Is
unexplored. Wisconsin Is known by the
names of Oulsconsln territory , while Ne
braska has no name or place.
Along the shores of Lakes Huron , Michi
gan and Superior , there are no towns , though
at the extreme western end of the last
named lake there Is a star and the statement
that at this point the American Fur com
pany has a station. Along the south end
of Like Michigan and at a point where
the city of Chicago Is now situated , the
section of the country Is marked off as be
longing to the Pottawnttamle Indians. Their
reservation extends over into Indiana and
well down toward Indianapolis. South of
their reservation the country belongs to
the Klckapoos , according to the map mark-
Ings. The Mlamls and Ottawas occupy about
all of the territory of Michigan , the Chip-
pew as and Wlnnebagoes appear to hold
( sway In what Is now Wisconsin Regard
ing the Indians west of the Mls ourl river ,
the map maker says It la said that there
arc numerous tribes , but admits that he Is
unable to learn anything concerning them ,
as the country has not been visited by white
men and there Is no data relative to Us In
habitants or general character.
According to the map , In 1833 there were
no towns on the west bank of the Missis
sippi above St. Louis , with the exception
of a point designated as Lead Mines , lo
cated where the city of Dubuque , la , now
stands. On the Missouri river the map
shows no settlements or towns north of
Jefferson CItv. Omaha Is not on the map ,
not oven the old trading post at Bellcvue
being shown. Railroads are even scarcer
than towns , as there la but ono upon the
nap. It runs from Philadelphia out to
Colombia , In Pennsylvania Canals , how
ever , are numerous and appear to connect
many of the principal towns of the middle
states.

Although the Jubilee week of the exposi
tion Is past , there Is no Indication
hat public Interest will abate. The remainIng -
Ing days are amply provided with features
of wide and commanding Interest and with
the certainty of lower railroad rates than
have been made at any time since the
show opened , the management Is confident
that nothing but the most severe weather
can prevent the last two weeks from being
ono of the most profitable periods of the
exposition. During the present week the
program offers every Incentive to a heavy
attendance * . The low railroad rates will
leave no excu&e for anyone to stay away
and they will undoubtedly bring thousands
of people for a second visit. From now on
It will be nearly as cheap to come to the
exposition as to remain at home and the
big show will not be a dead Issue until
the gates close early on the morning of
November 1.
Today Is Odd Fellows' day and North
Dakota day. The latter event Is not ex
pected to draw more than a few hundred
people on Its own account , but the Odd
Fellows expect to rally In Immense numbers.
They have planned an claboiate celebra
tion that will occupy the greater portion
of the day and assurances have been re
ceived of the participation of several thou
sand members of the order from Nebraska ,
Iowa and adjacent states. They will meet
at Fourteenth and Dodge streets at 10 30
this morning and march to the srounda.
Lunch will bo the first order of business
and at 1 o'clock they will congregate In
the Auditorium , where the exercises of the
day will occur , as follows :
Music Omaha Concert Hand
Addicss President G W Wattles
Address Mayor Frank 1C Moores

Irond Representative George L Loomts
At 4 o'clock there will be a grand parade
of all the lodges , which will bo reviewed by
the grand olllccrs on the Plaza and In the
evening there will he a special fireworks
display In honor of the order. The exercises
lu honor of North Dakota day will be some
what less elaborate and will bo held In the
Agricultural building at 11 o'clock.
Tuesday Is German day , Ancient Order of
United Workmen day and Tennessee day.
The latter celebration will be comparatively
Informal , but there will be a big attend
ance of Workmen and the Germans have or
ganized ono of the most elaborate parades
that have been projected on the grounds.
It will arrive at the grounds at 2.30 and
the exorcises of the day will occur In the
Auditorium half an hour later.
The celebration of Nebraska day Wednes
day and the extremely low rates that have
been niado by the railroads promise to
roako It ono of the biggest days of the
week. The Missouri lead people have also
arranged a celebration and the same day
haa been set asldo for the official enter
tainment of the live Block men.
Thursday also has n triple feature In the
celebration of Denver day , Order of the
Kaatern Star day and Utah day. The ex
tent of these celebrations haa not been
determined on , but assurances have been
received that several of the bishops of the
Mormon church , as well 01 other digni
taries , will come to assist In the observance
of Utah day. Friday Is Apple day and Sat

Olio More llulier Seorliijj.
There remains but one more butter scoring
contest before the close of the exposition.
This will probably come on duilng the mid
dle of the last week of the month and the
Indications are that there will be more but
ter exhibited at that time than upon any
former occasion. ThlsJs-due to the fact that
the cool weather Is favoraOTe for good butt'r
making and also due to the fact that all of
the butter ehown at a scoring IB purchased
by some local dealer , who will pay from 1
to 2 cents above the-top market price and
not ask any questions regarding quality or
Quantity.
So far Minnesota has been very fortunate
In securing prizes. It has won the gold
medal that goes with the sweepstake , having
taken three out of five premiums In the big
show. During the last two scorings the but-
tnr makers of the state have taken fifty-five
medals on butter that has scored above 95

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
On the night of August 15 the city council
passed an ordinance granting a twenty-five
years' franchise to the Omaha Qua coin-
panv it was stated nt that time by rep
resentatives of the company that work
would commence inside of thirty dtvs and
that customers would be supplied before
cold weather set In It Is now two months
slnco thu passage of the ordinance and not
a trench has been dug.
Prior to the passaga of the last ordinance
representatives of the Citizens' Oas company
obtained an Injunction agilnst the Omaha
Gis company on the ground tint the fran
chise of the latter company was defective.
I'rom what can be learned It appears that
this Injunction still holds until the supreme
court decides the case , even though a new
franchise were obtained By the terms of
the Injunction the Omaha Gas compiny was
restrained from opening streets or laying
mains here , so that until this case comes
up for a final hearing there is little likeli
hood of the Omaha company commencing
operations. Officers of the Citizens' Gas
company are not prepared to commence
work just now and the chances are that It
will bo some time before the stores on N
street arc Illuminated with gas.
The recent Improvements nt the local
electilc light plant have Improved thla
service so much that a great manv people
have lost Interest In the gas problem.

Repairs to the asphalt pavement on
Twenty-fourth street are progressing rap-
Idly. While the -weather has been almost
too cool for the successful laying of asphalt ,
the work done so far has been entliely sat
isfactory to the city engineer. Acting un
der Instruction from the city council Kngl-
ncer Heal Inspects the work several times
n day Not only does he do this , but ho
marks the places on the pavement which
must be repaired. When this work Is com
pleted and accepted by the city It Is thought
that the $1.000 guaranty will bo released.
Barrett and some other members of the
council favor demanding an exlenslon of
the guaranty for the reason that a portion
of the pavement was laid too hard , couso-
rt'uc-ntly It will not wear as long as that
laid with more oil The stretch of pave
ment particularly complained of Is on the
west side of Twentvfourth street from Ate
to J streets. An effort will be made , It Is
understood , to have the paving company
agree to extend the guaranty on this stiotch
or else take It up and relay It next spring.
CiillN Attention to Stock .
The stock yards company Is sending out
hundreds of postal cards to stockmen all
over the west calling attention to the stock
show at the exposition. Particular men
tion Is made of the special purse of $1 000
which has been offered by Manager Kenyan
for the best bacon hogs. These hogs will
bo Judged from a packer's standpoint by
bujcrs from the stock yards A long
bodied , thin hog , weighing In the neighbor
hood of 200 pounds , Is the kind of an ani
mal required to produce lean bacon and
small , lean hams The demand for this
kind of meat Is constantly on the Increase
and an effort Is being made to Induce hog
raisers In this section to breed this kind
of an animal. Twenty-one raisers of bacon
hogs have exhibits at the exposition and
the display Is considered an exceptionally
good one.

Hoard of I'lliieiUlon.
An adjourned meeting of the Board of
Education Is on the bills for tonight. It Is
expected that the contractors will formally
turn the new building over to the board.
In case this Is done there may be some dis
cussion about the liability for the delay.
Certain members of the board hold that the
contractors can bo held for $10 per day for
each day's delay since September 12 , while
others do not think this Is possible owing
to the fact that no bonus was offered the
builders. Most of the new seats are In post
tlon and It Is thought that all of the new
rooms will be ready today or tomorrow.
