I REBATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS Exposition Will Pay Seventy-Tits Per Gent of Paid Up Stock. PAYMENT ON TDTHER STOCK is DEFERRED Directors "Will ConMdrr tlint Mntter at n Litter Dntc ( locution of Show for Next Ycnr Still At a special mooting of the board of direct ors of 'tho ' exposition held at the grounds yesterday afternoon a proposition was re ceived from the business men who are boom- In : the 1899 exposition to purchase the build ings and all other Improvements , together with all other chattel property of the exposi tion association and all leasehold Interests ( or $10,000. After u brief discussion the proposition was referred to the executive committee with Instructions to report back to the board nt the next meeting. The proposition specified that the new company should assume all existing con tracts with leaseholders and the city of Omaha relative to leaving the grounds In the ( tame condition that existed before the ex position was built. It was stipulated that $3,000 of tha purchase price should bo paid AS soon as the proposition was accepted and the remaining $7,000 December 1. The 3rat payment wan to be forfeited in case the backers of the enterprise failed to form a company to fulfill the.remainder . of the con tract. The document was signed by P. E. Her and Hoyden Brothers , who assumed an equal liability for the purchase price. The discussion that occurred was hardly sufficient to Indicate how the propoiltlon was regarded by a majority of the directors. Mr. Llnflfey suggested that before he aetcd on the m ttcr ho wanted to know who was behind It , nx this association does not want to d-lsposo of its property except to people who are likely to make a success of the enterprise. Ho also intimated that the con sideration was hardly bu31ci' > iu. Further debate was avoided by th reference to th ? executive committee , Thn bulk of the afternoon was occupied by the discussion of a number of the ques tions Involved in the proposal to distribute * proportion of the surplus funds In the treasury among the stockholders. Secretary Wakrflcld reported that the association has now about $355,000 on hand , against which current bills for October amounting to be tween $35,000 and $30,000 , are outstanding. Paid-up stock subscriptions now aggregate about $271,000. It was therefore calculated that a 76 per cent rebate could be allowed nnrt etlll leave $100,000 In the treasury to meet prospective obligations. The question whether the ( subscribers who have only partially paid for tholr stock arc to he considered in the distribution was discussed at some length , but without a definite conclusion. The opinion of the at torney has not been received , but the opinion that the delinquents should bo given a pro r.tta rebate on the amount ! that they bad actually paid was expressed by a number of thedirectors. . It was eventually decided that a rebate of $7.50 shall bo allowed on ach share of stock that la fully paid up , tht , question of extending the distribution ( o thcsa who have made partial payments to be considered later. Aside from the directors' meeting there u llttlo on the ground * to Indicate that * . big exposition had existed at the begin ning of the week. Even the tremendous activity that accompanied the moving of ex hibits durlnir the first two or three days haste to some extent subsided.

The Intense rivalry between local express companies has resulted In a material sav ing for exhibitors. The rates that were first promulgated have been materially re duced and In most cases the goods are hauled for a very reasonable compensation. So far little has been done toward de molishing the buildings. Workmen are be ginning to tear down the Iowa and Kansa * buildings on the bluff tract , but aside from these and sorao of the small concessions buildings the architecture of the exposition remains unchanged. .SuKK < * Ntlon for Kxponlt Ion. OMAHA , Nov. 3. To the Editor of The Bee : In the event that the. Transmlsslsslppl Exposition Is continued until the year 1899 I think there are two features of the exposl- tlon that can bo developed and assist In making the venture a success. It would seem that the mere continuance of the pres ent exposition for another year would not attract on attendance sufficient to warrant the undertaking. There are two featuies that can bo Introduced that , I 'think , will Insure success : First , to ask the co-operation oC the United States government In producing at Omaha In 1899 an exhibit of the resources , the wealth , the products and the people of the Islands of Porto Klco , Cuba , the Philip pines , the Sand\\lch Islands and the La- drone Islands. Such an exhibit would ac quaint the people of the United States with the resources of the now possessions of our government and would familiarize them with the habits and the customs of the people ple that inhabit these possessions. It would bo very Interesting , for example , to have an exhibit showing a street In San Juan , Porto Rico ; also a street In Manila , and perhaps some local representations from the Islands of Hawaii. The second feature of the exposition that could possibly bo secured would be to have the United States present here next summer thn exhibit which It will display at the Paris exposition In 1900 , and to have as many American exhibitors that propose to exhibit In Paris in 1900 prepare their exhibits In time to exhibit In Omaha in 1S99. If these two features could bo developed and certain states In the transmlaslsslppl region that did not have state buildings at our exposition this summer could bo pre vailed upon to erect buildings next year the continuance of the exposition might ho very successful , and would certainly be very attractive. Yours truly , JOHN W. BATON. BABY FINDS A WARM WELCOME Infant r.lrl Left on tlic Step * of St. Joseph' * Church l > nat Mffht Tulceu In. A tiny girl baby , not older than two weeks , snugly wrapped In flannels , tucked In a com mon wicker basket , was found last evenIng - Ing on the steps of St. Joseph's church by the parishioner * at the close of service.

There was no mark on any of the garments found in the basket and nothing to indicate who the mother might be. After talking to the priests at the church about the child , Mr : . John Meldllnger , who lives at 1714 South Seventh street , volun teered to take It home for the night. Latef it was taken in charge by Mrs. AI. Nick , at 2422 South Sixteenth street , who will keep It for a few days In hopes that the mother will be found.

Dlscurslng "Tho Philosophy of Contact , " Rabbi Franklin last night showed that In all ages men have been better by rca&on of contact. Alen and women , like the chameleon , the lizard that Inhabits the < wilds cf Africa , take on the color of their i surroundings and became like their asso- ' elates to a great extent ; thus these who continually associate with the bad follow their example , while those who associate' ' with the pure in thought and spirit become ; better by reason of Huch associations. All persons are susceptible to the Influ ences of the good and bad , which Influences the rabbi described as being something like germs , infecting these whom they struck. Illustrating the Influence of contact , the speaker cited the war sentiment that pre vails the world over , showing that after the China-Japan war was declared nations that before had enjoyed the most friendly rela tions bad suddenly shown the spirit of strife and had grown belligerent , one toward another. ' Were it not for the better Influence of contact no authentic hletorr of th world could ever hove been written. Contact has resulted In making the civilized nations cf i the world moro progressive , and In proof of this the speaker cited China , which Is prac- ! tlcally In the same condition physically , morally aud socially as It was thousands of years ago , simply because Us people have not como In contact with the more civilized and progressive nations and have shut the door to the light of truth , j The people who ore. the most cosmopolitan stand the highest EO far as civilization is concerned. They have como In contact with those of other countries and climes and have I profited thereby. Taking up the question of race , the : speaker said what the Jew is and what ho has given to the world Is due to contact ; ho bus worked nut his destiny and had he re- ' malned Isolated the. world would have been much poorer by reason of the absence of his words and works. The tnflucncii of contact has brought out the great inventions , such as tha telephone ami the telegraph , the railroad and the steamboat. The Congress , of Liberal Religion , held In Omaha during the last summer , Illustrates what comes about by reason of contact. At that gatherIng - Ing It wo * demonstrated that the aspiration 1 of all and < the hope of all denominations , , Protestant , Jew and Catholic , Is the same. Contact breaks down the barriers because I1 it breaks into the realms of Ignorance and shows men and women the lights of the great truths ; It shows that oil are striving to reach the same goal that they may bring about a better day for the entire world.

Alumni of Gopher State University Eesiding in Nebraska Enjoy a Reunion , PLEASANT GATHERING HELD IN OMAHA Half n Dozen of the Son * of "SUI-U- Mnli" Ilecount Their COCKC CxpcrlcncoN and Organize ait ANMoclutloii , Maroon and old gold were In evidence at the Mlllard hotel last evening , the occa sion being a reunion and banquet of the alumni of the University of Ailnnesota resid ing In Nebraska. There were present : Rev. Charles W. Savldgo and A. AI. Welles , Omaha , ' 77 ; Judge W. W. Keysor , Omaha , i ' 79 ; H. P. Shumway. Wakefleld , ' 82 ; H. S. Abbott , master In chancery of the Union Pa cific , Omaha , ' 85 ; George II. Alorse , in structor In electrical engineering at the Ne braska university , ' 93. It 'was ' a representa tive gathering , there being1 two yawyers , one clergyman , one teacher , one Journalist and one merchant. What thtwo gentlemen i lacked In numbers they made up In enthusi asm for their Alma Alater and spent an ex ceptionally pleasant e\enlug recounting col-'i lego experiences and laying plans for the future. The banquet was held In one of the prl- | vate dining rooms of the hotel , an elaborate i menu btflng served. The postprandial ex- | erolses were uot the least enjoyable features of the occasion. A letter of greeting Was read from President Northrop , congratulatIng - i Ing the Nebraska alumni and conveying the cheering Information that the Ailnnesota Institution Is on the high road to prosperity , with an enrollment for the year that will ccach 3,000. This piece of good news was greeted with cheers and the familiar "Uah- . rah-rah , Ski-U-AIah" of the gophers. Dr. I W. W. Folwell , former president , now pro- j fossor of social science and university UI I brarlan , eent a letter In Latin , which was a nut for the half dozen graduates to crack not on any account of any lack of purity In diction , but well , any college graduate who has mixed 'in ' the hurly burly of llfo for ' a few years understands how R Is himself. After berne discussion a permanent organ ization was formed for the purpose of pro- ' moling good fellowship and advancing the Interests of Alma Mater. II. S. Abbott was elected president and A. AI. Welles secre- ! tary. It was decided to hold two formal' meetings a year , fho next to be at Lincoln ' some time In February , at which time Chancellor - , | cellor JIacLean , formerly a professor In the Ailnnesota university , will be a guest of the organization. A telegram was ordered sent to President Northrop , with the request that he read it In chapel this morning , Informing the faculty - ( ulty and students of the organization of a i Nebraska association and conveying the best wishes of the members for the prosperity of the Institution. The secretary was In structed to reply to Doctor Folwell's letter , but adjured uot to employ the Latin lan guage lest he dlpsrace his Alma Alater. Air. Alorse was delegated to convey the best wishes of the association to the Nebraska State university and to request Chancellor AtaoLean to make the announcement before the student body. Plans for furthering the Interests of the Ailnnesota university were discussed , commencement programs and "rams" were reread and laughed over and the evening closed all too quickly. When the hour came to break up the alumni pledged anew their fealty to the In stitution that gave them their sheepskins and all expressed themselves as being glad that they were educational products of the , leadloe university of the North Star State , ] Our Furniture Dept. the pioneer of low prices.

MRS. WAIT'S TWO LECTURES N oil American LreciiiU and American Wlnvn Are I.I.Htem-a to iv 1 th IiitorfMt. Mrs. Frona Eunice Walt , a member of the California State Board of Horticulture , dellvcied two lectures In this city yester day. The first was before the principals of the schools in the rooms of the Board of Education at S o'clock and the second at the Commercial club In the evening. In the afternoon Mre. Walt cpoke on "Tho Myths and Legends of Our Own Land. " This Is a subject that she has made herself thoroughly familiar with by years of study and her talk was of Intense interest. She advocated the necessity of teaching the legends of our country to the pupils of the public schools , raying that the average American youth Is much better acquainted with the history of legendary Germany and England than ho Is with that of the land ho calls his home. Yet the cliff dwellers , the Pueblo Indians and the other tribes that roamed the western plains and prairies before - fore the advent of the whites is equally as Interesting as the doing of the prehistoric Teutons. Kvldcnces of their former prowess are strewn throughout the length of thn land and their relics are to bo seen In every museum. To study thulr myths and legends would give a field rot- literary work that would astound tjio world , and which would be more fascinating than the Nlebellungen Lied. Her evening subject was "Tho Vlnclands of California. " The lecture was Illuminated by 100 slides , nearly all of which were col ored , showing the Industry In every phase as It Is carried on In the franco of the west , The pictures were tal.cn for the greater part In Napa and Sonoma counties , the heart of the grape-growing district , and repre sented several of the larger vineyards with the ripening fruit burdening the hillsides with Its purple clusters. The lecturer , speak ing with fluency and enthusiasm , explained the euro that Is exercised In gathering the grapes and conveying them to the presses and the Intricacy of the methods of fermen tation. To Illustrate this process , vlewu of the wine cellar of Captain Nelbaum , which Is considered a typical one , were thrown upon the screen. These gave n clear Idea of the many Btages that the capricious product goes through before- IH ready for shipment. Mrs. Walt explained the pro cesses of blending , filtering and riponlns , and the training that a cellar-master must have to bring forth the brat results. Interspersed with thu slides relating trv the culture of the vine were views of a number of Interesting natural objecta In the t > tate , Including the old mill , which marks the spot where Robert Lou 13 Stevenson wrote "The Silverado Squatters , " the red wood tree whore Black Hart held up the atngo coach of the Wells , Fargo & Co.'s ex- prefH , Mount St. Helena and several of the old missions of thn pail res. Mre. Walt Is delivering her lecture on the vlnelands of California In the larger cities throughout the country as an omlo- sary of the Board of Horticulture of that state. She has for the last ten years been the official wine tester for the state , and U the only woman In the United States who Is engaged In this profession. Sbo can be uald In no way to advocate the drinking of wine , but Insists that those who do dctilre to satisfy a taste for It should ueo only the best , and should know aoniotlilng of how and where It Is grown and the man ner of Us preparation. She will repeat her lecture on "Myth * and Legends" hefaro the Women's club of Omaha Monday afternoon. AMONG THE LETTER CARRIERS P.

COOK EDWARD JENSEN SHOT John Pembleton Eesents a Slight with an Attempt at Murder. ROW IN A DOWNTOWN RESTAURANT Walter Hecllnc-in to SertoCKroen mill Hie SllllNVflllVIlt Klllllt KlIllN lit the nnniscrouKlWoumllnR of the : MKht Cook. Edward Jensen , night cook at the Calumet restaurant , 1411 Douglas struct , was shot. . and seriously. If not fatally , wounded by John Pembleton , allaa John Williams , a negro , at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. 1 Pembluton In locked up nt the city Jail. Ilia companion , Oscar Williams , to whom ho handed his revolver after the shooting and who escaped capture at the time , Is locked up In an adjoining cell. Williams was captured at the exposition grounds , where ho was In hiding , at noon yesterday by Officers Wclsonborg and Dillon. Wll- j llama told the police that Pctnbleton Ural j the shot. I The shooting was the culmination of a j quarrel between Pemblelon and Williams and Walter Harry Percgo , and the cook , i Jensen , over Perego's refusat to servo the j negroes when they ordered food , IVinblo- ton and Williams , accompanied by two col ored women , Joslo L. Jones and Mattle John- ! Eon , entered the restaurant an hour he- faro the shooting and took scats at , a table In the front of the loom. j They had Just left a hall at Hartrnan'H hall , , i Fourteenth and Douglau strcat , and the men j I were under the Influence of liquor. Perego , ' ! the only waiter on duly at that hour , Instead of waiting on the quartet went Into I the kitchen to bo out of their sight , thinking they would grow tired of waiting and leave the place. After waiting about ten minutes the four became Impatient and began thrciu- j ing catsup bottles and other table furnish- I Ings against the waif to attract nitration. The crashing glass "brought Perego Into the dining room. As he entered a big I sugar bowl wan thrown at his head , but did not hit him , Pemhleton , Perego Bays , went up to him and demanded to know why ho and party had been Insulted. Ho was told that negroes were not served In the restaurant and Pombletou called him a vile name and struck him In the face. JciiNPit Taken 1't'rfKo'n I'nrt. Hearing the quarrel , Jensen , the cook , ran out of the kitchen and took Pert-go's part. Ho struck Pembleton twice In the fnco and forced him out onto the side walk , Williams and the women following. Shutting the door on the nrgroes , Jensen started back to the kitchen behind Perego. As soon as the cook turned his back to thn door Pembleton Blluntly opened It and fired' ' at him. The bullet entered Jensen's right lung and ho pitched forward Into thn arma of PereKO.
