The action of the Board ot Directors of
the Greater America Exposition In direct
ing the executive committee to make Hie
tropical nnd colonial effect predominant In
the vnrloun buildings forecasts n marked
departure from the general plan of previous
expositions. The stereotyped features that
have been supreme at other expositions will
bo mndo to play n secondary part and the
vision of the visitors will bo attracted nnd
refreshed by n succession of scenes of now
nnd bewildering beauty. Tl.ls . notion was
urged by Mr. Uosowatcr of tbo Advisory
bnnrd as n necessity In view of the fact that
Ibo public always demands something now
nnd experience has demonstrated that nov-
Hly Is the main essential to success In
every form of the show business. Mr. Hose-
water's Idea contemplates setting nsldo ono
building for each of the four colonies that
nrt > to bo represented at the exposition. Ono
building Is to be devoted exclusively to nn
exhibition of the products , resources , people -
plo nnd customs ot the Philippines , nn-
other will perform a similar ofllce for Cuba
iinother for Hawaii , nnd a fourth for 1'orto
Itlco.
Itlco.With the vast amount of material that U
available It Is expected that eaih building
will bo filled completely with exhibits thai
will afford Hcope for an exhaustive study o :
the physical , social nnil animal features o
the Island that It represents. Us minerals
and grains , its manufactured products , U
racial characteristics , Its vegetable featured
nnd even Its birds and animals will hi
completely exploited. The building will hi
made beautiful by hundreds ot troplca
plants representing every vnrlety of th
flora of tlio Inland and will resound wltt
the unfamiliar melodies of all the myriai
species of birds that Inhabit Its forests.
WorU lli'Klnn nt Oner.
The result will bo that every visitor ti
the Greater America Exposition will bo nbl
to acquire almost ns complete nn understanding
standing- the principal features ot th
Islands as could bo secured by a personal
trip to the lolands themselves. The fact
that each has a building exclusively Us
own will prevent confusion nnd the visitor
will be able to connect each feature with
the Island to which It belongs without
effort. In the Philippine building ho will
find everything that relates to this archi
f pelago. There will too attendants ready to
give any Information that may Te required
In regard to the exhibits and no feature
will bo lacking that an Intimate acquaint
ance with the resources of the Island can
suggest. When the contents of this build
ing have been sulllclently studied the visi
tor can pass on and be transported for a
time to Hawaii , then to Cuba and then to
Porto Rico , and by the time ho has com-
jdeted the trip ho will know nearly every
thing that Is to bo known about them.
H Is believed that In view of the great
Interest that Is being taken In these mat-
tera by the American people nnd the lim
ited opportunities that most of them en
joy for acquiring definite Information , this
feature will bo of more general Interest
than anything that has over figured among
the attractions of a. previous exposition.
The plnn affords an almost unlimited scope
- for decoration- and hundreds of beautiful
effects can ibo produced that would bo Im
possible with any different material. Some
slight alterations will have to be made In
home of the buildings to meet the new Ideas
and these have been authorized to bo
made as soon as the details of the work nrc
Fettled. The management will begin work
nt once along the lines proposed , and al
most without exception the directors are
enthusiastic over the possibilities that the
plan makes available.

AMUSEMENTS
* ,
At ll yd's theater Wednesday afternoon
and evening John and Emma Ray , sup
ported by a company composed principally
of vaudeville performers , presented their
ridiculous farce comedy , "A Hot Old Time , "
to a fair sized audience. The piece consists
principally of "horao-iplny , " some of which
Is iulte | well done and exceedingly funny ,
while the 'balance ' Is monotonous and tire
some. The Rays wore at one time leading
lights In vauflovlllo and should never have
fcirsaket' this line for the legitimate. In
vaudeville people can stand fifteen or
twenty minutes of "horae-plny , " but when
It cotnca to two hours of It that U entirely
another matter. There are a number ot
very acceptable specialties Introduced dur
ing the performance , which go far toward
redeeming It. The engagement will close
with this cvcnlng'fl performance.

The constitutional difference nnd peculiar
ities which exist among Individuals should
alwayn bo carefully watched nnd considered.
Ono person con handle poison ivy with Im
punity while another Is poisoned If only
In the vicinity of the vine and without con
tact. Some members of n family residing In
a malarial district will suffer regularly with
chills and fever , while other members will
not bo at all affected.
Food that is actually poisonous to fiotno
persons , will not so act on others. Ono per
son mny cat all kinds of green fruit and
vegetables with Impunity , while another
person could do so only at the risk of life
Pertain kinds of fish are actually poisonous
to some people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
It Is this peculiar condition of the system
which constitutes the danger point In the
Individual case nnd should be prudently
observed by each ono for himself. Intestinal
derangements frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food. Thus
a person affected with kidney or liver trouble
should not eat very white bread , since the
extreme whiteness Is often produced by the
use of alum with an Inferior article ot flour ,
uml as alum Is known to bo poisonous In Its
effects on a sound constitution , thin Is wlij
alum baking powder Is never used by people
of judgment and discretion.
More of earthly hnpplncsts depends upon
what we eat than many people realize and I
Is for this reason that the different states
are onet by ono passing pure-food lawe.

ocate general , as recorder for the court.

Ono week wns spent In Chicago making

as made to the packing houses , and then
n examining different ofllclals of those In-
tltutlons. H Is presumed thai several days
will bo spent In Omaha , although It la not

that Colonel Gnrllngton , of the Inspector

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
In view of the fact that damage suits
are constantly arising from ono cause nnd
another the city ofllclals are bCRlnnlng to
take a serious view of the mntter and are
casting about for some means ot relief.
The latest suit to be decided against tlio
clty'ln the Paul Elsfclder claim for $4,000.
This Is where a fi-yeur-old child fell Into
a gas company's trench and broke an arm.
From what was learned at the time , the
child was Jumping across the trench and
slipped , falling to the bottom and Inflicting
the injuries mentioned. In Its franchise
given by the city to the Omaha Gas com
pany it provided that all trendies must
bo properly protected against accident ana
why the city should bo held responsible for
the accident is more than some of the offi
cials can understand.
A plan has been suggested , whloh appears
feasible and It Is possible that It may be
tried. This la the bonding of the city In
a surety company the same as corporations
bond their employers. Every corporation
In this city carries a blanket Insurance on
all employes and If n man Is Injured Tie
fights It out with llio surety company in
stead of tie corporation. Those who arc
Interested In this project assert that the
city could well afford to pay $4,000 or even
$5,000 a year to a eurcty company to be
relieved of damage suits resulting from de
fective sidewalks , etc. It Is stated that ie
city "attorney is too busy to give ills atten
tion to the drafting of ordinances , com
mittee work and the trials of cases in the
district court. By bonding In a good surety
company there would be no necessity for
the city attorney giving any time to damage -
ago caaos , as the company would furnish
attorneys to look after its Interests. More
than thlo , the surety company would prob
ably keep watcti of the sidewalks in tlie
city nnd other places where accidents were
liable to occur , thus taking considerable re
sponsibility off the street commissioner's
department and the police force.
The only question to be considered Is
whether n surety company would take the
risk for the premium the city Is able to
pay. It IB thought that negotiations maybe
bo opened with some of the companies to
ascertain what can bo done In this matter.
Koiirtli IVuril llio
From present Indications it looks as If
the Fourth ward will bo the battle ground
In the spring election. Ed Johnson has an
nounced himself as a candidate for monitor
of the city council from that ward and has
sent letters to a largo number of bin sup
posed friends asking for support. In return
for this support , Johnson promises a lot of
things which his past record does not bear
out. The fact that Johnston U opposed to
the prtoont democratic mayor and hl
friends will miUte the fight in the Fourth
ward one of the hardest fought In the po
litical hlRtory of South Omaha. In order
to take advantage of the factional fight In
the democratic camp , the republicans are
casting nbout for the strongest mau they
can securo. M. J. Stlllmook Is prominently
mentioned. Mr. Stlllmock Is a well known
business man nnd appears to bo well thought
of 'by ' residents of the ward. Other promi
nent republicans are being mentioned nnd
It Its safe to Pay that the convention will
pick out a candidate who will tie able to
beat Kd Johnston.

The ordinance compelling keepers of pool

Is No. 3S3 nnd tins been nn tlio books for
eonio years. It provides for n license fee
of $10 for the first tnble nnd $3 for each
additional tablo. Not long ago a pool room
was opened here and the proprietor pro
cured n license , according to law. Now an
other pool room has opened and has been
In operation fcr several weeks , but no nt-
empt has been made to collect the license
eo from this house. The license Is con-
dcrcd reasonable and the city officials , or
t least some of them , seem to think that
11 operators of pool tables should take out
license.

"I see. " said John Ilendricks of Outhrif.
Okla. , while dlsfussins Indian territory af
fairs at theMlllard last evening , "that At
torney W. J. Scott of Kansas City hns been
In the cast Interesting capitalists in a new
railroad project through the territory ; but.
Incidentally , he has 'been ' In Washington >
looking after the Interests of a number of !
ellwits who have suits relative to a lot of
land claims still pending in the United
States supiemo court.
-Tho titles in the Indian territory have
become pretty well mixed. The Indian
tribes own and control the land , but there
has -been - n great inltnx of white citizens
and the white man gets very many privi
leges under the Indian law. Many of the
whltoa have not boon squeamish In the rant-
tor of marrying squaws , and every white
ninn who doca marry a squaw becomes an 1
Indian citizen and Is entitled to all the
.privileges . of citizenship nnd to hold land
just as though ho wcro a native Indian.
Then , If ho should marry again , even though
hla second wife bo white , she Is considered
a squaw under the law and all the children
are full Hedged Indians. This same rule
holds gootl If a white woman marries an
Indian , which Is by no means unusual.
"According to a statement recently made
'by ' Mr. Scott while In Washington , It seems
that this very Indian law of agnatle relation
ship lias produced many complications In
land titles , growing out of. first , tribal
treaties with the federal government ; second
end , the Indian land titles In severally , npd ,
third , the titles of the whites duo to their
marital relations with the Indians. One
particularly Interesting case iMr. Scott now
has In the supreme court. It seems that
a whlto 'man deserted a squaw less than
two hours nfter his marriage to her. She
got a divorce and ho then married a white
woman and had several children by the
second wife. The question Involved In this
caseIs whether the cntlro family of whites
U entitled to own the land us citizens.
"Herein Is where a conflict comes In be
tween a Choctaw statute and n treaty made
with the United States In 1863. Under the
Choctaw statute the whlto man loses his
status when he deserts his squaw , but under
the treaty the whites are given the same
privilege * as the reds and , as ho cannot
lose his citizenship 'by ' deserting his tsqunw ,
the validity of the statute Is brought lo a
test , because In the event the squaw hail
< llod there could not have 'been any doubt
as to the whlto husband's citizenship ami
the children of tbo second wife would share
this sumo status. "

If a woman will take proper care of herself during Ihe pe
riod of gestation , her babe will be strong and healthy. If she
is neglectful and permits herself to "rundown" and become
weak and debilitated , the child will be stillborn , or sickly , weak ,
puny and cross. Its chances for life are meagre indeed. If it
lives it is doomed ( o drag out a miserable existence. Expectant
mothers may be strong and well if they so choose. It is within
their power to control their health at this trying time. Wine of
