21 , the last day of the exposition , has been
set aside as "Omaha day , " and It Is our
earnest desire to inuko it the greatest day <
of the exposition. Inasmuch as the cxposl- ;
tlon was started on its successful career by
the Commercial club. I deem It proper to
nppcal to your executive committee to In
augurate a general movement in the com
munity for a great demonstration on the
day of Us close. U has brought to the city
of Omaha millions of money and thousands
of Influential people , whose future Invest
ments will do much for the upbuilding of our
city. I therefore deem it proper for the
oiganlzatlon outsldo of the exposition man
agement to assume the initiative In this
closing celebration.
I appeal to your executive committee to
call to your assistance the Knights o AX-
Sar-Ben , the city and county olllclals and
HUch other assistance as you may select , and
at once take uu the work. The schools and
every business house In Omaha should close
and a proclamation should be Issued by the
mayor declaring the day a holiday. Every
employer of labor should purchase and dis
tribute tickets of admission among those In
lil employ who would not otherwise attend.
Tickets should be illstrlbutod nnioiig their
customers by our largo merchants who have
prolUcd by the business brought them by
the exposition. The poor of the city should
! K ) Eupplted with tickets. In fact a general
movement should bo made on systematic
lines to secure thp attendance of every citi
zen of Omaha and Douglas county on this
dar.
dar.Exercises
Exercises will bo held in the Auditorium
at 3 o'clock n. m. commemorating the clos
ing hours of the exposition. To these exer
cises all the stockholders of the exposition
are respectfully invited , as we expect on
that occasion to make some statements re
garding the work of the Investment.
At the close of these exercises at C o'clock
J ) . m. a banquet will be served to the Invited
guests at the Markcl cafe , anil I desire to
extend your officers and members of your
executive committee a cordial iu\Italian to
participate In this bamiurt.
I hope you will appoint such committees
as you may deem necessary to take up the
work Incident to this celebration without
delay. Yours truly ,
GURDON W. WATTLES. President.
A special meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Comerclal club was held yes
terday afternoon and a committee consisting
of Messrs. Hayward , Martin , IIospo , Steel
and Utt was named to take charge of the
matter. It is the intention of this com
mittee to push the matter with all vigor , to
the end that the day may be made the suc
cess the managers of the exposition hope to
make It. There is soruo difference of opin
ion among the retail business men as to the
question of closing on that day. The mat
ter was put to a number of the leading ones
by Dee reporters yesterday.

t was the plainly written duty of every cm-
iloyer to close his store all day long In or-
ler to make the final day of the exposition
what the directors meant it to bo , a day
when every Omaha citizen , rich and poor
illke , could mingle on the grounds. "We
nlll remain closed all day , " he said , "and
jur 600 employes will be given a chance to
have a good time. There Is one proviso to
the arrangement , however , " added Mr. Hay-
; len , with a smile , "and that Is that you
newspaper Men do not get out an afternoon
paper on that day. "
Mr. Brandels of the Boston store said that
the management had decided after consid
ering thn claims which the day had on pa
triotic Omaha citizens to remain closed dur
ing the entire day of October 31. The hope
was expressed that other stores would act on
a similar impulbo in order that the day
might bo made a record breaker from the
attendance primarily of Omaha people. The
atoro will contribute Its quota of over COO
employes toward making the occasion a suc
cess.
cess.A
A less favorable opinion was expressed by
W. R. Bennett of the W. R. Bennett com
pany , who felt that his establishment would
hardly be able to close up. "We remained
closed on the opening day , " said Mr. Ben
nett , "and were almost alone In that action.
We do not feel therefore that it will be pos
sible to participate In this occasion in a
similar way , though wo wish for it an un
limited success. "
Not Certnln Aliont Clonlnit.
Mr. Rosentbal of the People's Furniture
and Carpet company approved cordially o :
the Intention to make Omaha's official par
ticlpatlon In Iho exposition the crownlnf
event of its career. The mailer had noi
been dellnllcly decided upon by the store
management , but Mr. Rosenthal said tha
In nil probability the employes would b <
given their liberty , especially If the sarm
action were taken by other large stores
The sloro employs about 150 men.
The sumo view was taken by Mw. Benson
who said that her establishment would bi
guided by the action of other employers It
the matter. If the plan of keeping closef
house were generally adopted her ston
would not be found less patriotic thai
ethers , and the exposition attendance \voul <
bo Increased by the number of thirty clrli
with their escorts.
Mr. Belden of Thompson , Belden & Co
said that the present Intention of bis flrn
Is to keep open on October 31. "We havi
already been as liberal as possible , " hi
said , "with our employes In the matter o
exposition sightseeing. Almost all of then
have already had a week off with a con
ttnuanco of pay in order that they mlgh
hnvo a thorough opportunity to see the ex
position. The remainder will be given thel
vacation at once , and we believe that tbl
plan has been advantageous to all partle :
concerned. "
Omionltlon to the Iilcn.
A. C. Raymer , hardware : I am opposei
to closing our store on that day. I wan
the celebration to bo a success , but can so
no reason why wo should bo expected t
close up. There will bo lots of stranger
In to\\n that day who will not go out to th
exposition and they will want some placi
to go. '
George W. Kelley for Kclley , Stlger t
Co. : I object to closing the stores. Afto
the hard times through which Omaha ha
passed lu recent years I think it an Impo
ulllon to ask the retailer to close up. How
ever , it all the other large stores close 01
that day , wo will ; but it baa got to bo i
"close , " and no side door or behind tb
blinds business.
Morris Levy , for the Nebraska Clothlm
company : If the other clothing store
close , we will. We have had a good busl
ness this summer , and are willing to clou
up for a day , provided other dealers d

those who cannot afford to buy them , and
will cloeo up the store It other dealers
will do so.
Thomas Kllpatrick : We took a stand at
the beginning of the exposition against clos
ing on account of any special days , osd
are inclined to adhere to It. You cannot
got an agreement to close which will be
uniform. Wo close our store now at 'J '
o'clock , but there are others who do not.
It Is oi part of the purpose of country people
ple who come to the city to buy and the
stores should as a rule bo open.
S. Gamble , for the Continental Clothing
company : So far as this store Is con
cerned , I think It will be open. The gen
eral trade In Omaha now Is good , and I
believe we should stay and care for It. Wo
will get through about 8 o'clock , anil the
boys will get out In time to assist In prop
erly closing the exposition. Another thing
Is Omaha day comes on the last day ol

for most retailers.

Utah will bo represented at the exposition
today by a distinguished party of citizens.
This will be Utah day and as the history of
Utah would not bo complete without the
I history of the Mormon church , many of the

Pacific last night and was met by S. T.

1 1895 , when the exposition was given birth ,
and was one of the warmest advocates ol

which designated Omaha as the place for
holding the big enterprise. His visit to the
exposition at this tlmo will therefore bo ol
interest to him In the light of this early
history. ( Mr. Cannon Is accompanied by

OPERATION ; TO SAVE WALKER
Wonderful Vitality of Injured Pugilist Gives
Surgeons Some Hope.
SLIM CHANCE TO PULL HIM THROUGH

Ilelil lu Jail to Aim It the
Outcome.
There Is little doubt now but the result of
Monday night's prize fight nt South Omaha
will prove fatal to Walker , one of the com
batants. Walker , has never regained con
sciousness since ho was given the knockout
blow and the attending physicians , Drs. '
Kelly and McCrann , do not hesitate to say '
that his condition at the present tlmo Is I
critical. Mrs. Walker arrived from Iowa
yesterday afternoon and spent several hours
sitting by the bedside of her husband. The
doctors held a consultation and decided that
It would bo necessary to perform an opera- j
tlon to remove the blood clots from the
brain and this operation will bo performed
as soon as the condition of the patient war-
rnuts. It Is possible thtl by an operation !
Walker's life may bo saved ; at any rate It is
deemed advisable to take the risk. AccordIng -
Ing to the physicians the patient has shown
wonderful vitality up to this time and unless
the shock causes a sudden turn for the worte
some hopes of hU ultimate recovery are held
out. It is stated that unless the pressure
on the brain Is relieved that death will
surely come within a short time.
Unless other arrangements arc made the
operation will bq performed in tbo room
where Walker has loin since he was carried
out of the prize ring. This room has no fire
and is cheerless in the extreme. The matter
of a fire was called to Chief Carroll's at
tention yesterday afternoon and he stated at
that tlmo that he would procure a stove at
once. In speaking about tne operation , Dr.
McCrann said that In his opinion it would
not change the condition of the patient to
move him a short distance and It Is possible
that ho may be taken to tne hospital.
Andrew Dupont , Walker's opponent In the
ring on Monday night , was arrested while
walking down N street yesterday afternoon
by Officer Tom Montague. Dupont appeared
before Judge Babeock a few moments after
his arrest and was placed under $1,000 bonds
for aiding and abetting a prize fight. Du
pont was unable to give bonds and was
taken to a cell below to await a hearing ,
which will be held when the result of Walk
er's Injuries U known. From appearances
Dupont had suffered but little from his en
counter and barring a black eye he looked
the same as usual. He took his arrest
coolly and did not seem to realize the con
sequences in case Walker should die.

Hans Botker and Emll Wets came down
from Elk Cltv to take part In the German
day celebration. While walking north on
Sixteenth street they saw a man find a lock.

noon today the pair appeared at the police
station to answer to a chareo of eambllng

A Joint meeting of the Ladles' auxiliary
and associate members of the Thurston
Rlllcs will be held Thursday evening , Octo
ber 20 , at 7:30. : to consult as to sending hos
pital supplies to the company at Manila. In
a letter under date of September 10 Captain
W. C. Taylor says * "Our weather Is quite
* lurprise to m and I believe that It it
were not for the accumulation of the filth
of years the climate would be very good.
The boys suffer more from a form of beri
beri , a swelling of the feet , and from dysen
tery and fever. It does not seem to be seri
ous , but unfits a. man for duty and gradu
ally undermines his health. It pleases me
greatly and I am happy in the fact that my
own boys have not been troubled to make
me seriously apprehensive. They have good
quarters and plenty to cat , although the
quality is not of the best. "
The request for medicines and hospital
supplies will be mode known at the meet-
Ing.
