REBATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS

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

* . 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

remain are still actively at work , and the
streets arc lined with express wagons lum
bering heavily away with huge loads of all
conceivable material.
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.

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's mother was well-to-do , and not poor.
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

for a few days In hopes that the mother will
be found. The baby appeared to be of Ger

CREATURES OF SURROUNDINGS
llnhut Krankllii DlNronrncn on the
Ilcntilt * of Contact of Man irlth
HIM Kclloirn.
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.

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 ,

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.

Ilia companion , Oscar Williams , to whom

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. Jensen was removed to thu
Presbyterian hospital , whnro his wound was
pronounced to be a very serious one. Ho
has a lighting chance , thu doctora say , for
his life.
After the shooting Peinbli ton handed his
revolver to Williams and ho ran cast on
Douglas street , Just an Officers Havoy , Cor-
mack , Flynn and Drurumy , who had been at
tracted to the epot hy the ehootlng , arrived
on the ( scene. The ( leclng man \ > as ordered
to halt , but only Incrc-ased his speed , and
disappeared In the darkni-wa In a fehower of
bullets from the otllrers' revolvers. IV-mblo-
ton and the women were taken to the bta-
tlon by the olllccra.

but an hour bcforo they entered tha
placo.
Alike AIcManus , who was the only occu
paut of the restaurant at the tlmo of thu
shooting , told the police that ho saw Pom-
blcton Pro the shot and Idontlllod him later
at the police station. The waiter , Pcrogo ,
also identified Pembleton as the man. Fein

flrod the shot.

ton. Jenscn'H homo Is at Nelson , Nob.
Jensen logalned consciousness last night
and gave his version of the shooting sub-
Etaullally as printed above.
Ho positively identified Pombloton as the
man who bhot him. Just after the shooting
Pembleton was hhouu him and ho tmld ho
was the man , and liu't ' ovonlng when the
ofllcers called nt the hu&pllal and debcrlbed
Pembleton to him ho again bald ho was the
right man. Pembleton , liowovor , maintains
Ills Innocence and sajs that Williams Is the
guilty man. The latter tolls n fairly truth
fuf story of the affair. Ho denies that ho
[ was handed the revolver by Pembleton and
: says ho never = aw It after the shooting.
i The revolver haw not been found and thti
pollco bcllfvo that the story told by eyewitnesses -
witnesses that the gun \\as passed to Wil
liams is trim and that Wllllama hid It.
The two women are evidently trying to
shield Pcmbletan , as both pluco the blame
on Williams. Their stories , however , am
full of conflicting ctatemcnts. One of thi >
women , Mrs. joslo L. Jones , Is In the hos
