Exhibit from Hiivrnlinn Inland * .
Special Commissioner Umsted , who went
to the Hawaiian Islands for tbo purpose
of Interesting the people there and working
up an exhibit , has reached San Francisco
on his return , and lias wired President
Miller that ho is well satisfied with the
results of his trip. Mr. Urastcd says in his
telegram that ho has secured ) ono ot the
most complete exhibits over seen at any
exposition in the history of the country.
The sugar exhibit from the Hawaiian
Islands will bo ono of the striking features.
It will include material for manufacturing
the product , the machinery used In the
process , and a complete .exemplification of
the great industry of the Islands. The sugar
exhibit will bo brought over on the first
bteamor and will be hero and Installed not
much later than the middle of the present
month. With this exhibit will como a
number of natives , who will Illustrate the
method of sugar manufacture prior to the
date of the modern machinery. These na
tives will llvo in a colony by themselves
and will represent the happy life of the
residents of ono ot the latest acquired pos
sessions of Undo Sam.
Commissioner Umsted wires tliat ho has
secured the Royal Band of Honolulu , the
members of which are nearly all natives.
Theao people will bo here during the early
days of the exposition and will probably re
main from elx weeks to two months. The
, _ band la composed of some fifty musicians ,
f' nearly nil of whom wcro In the organization
- during the reign of Queen Lll.
While It Is not certain how many natives
will bo secured from the Hawaiian Islands ,
mall advices from Commissioner Umsted
boom to Indicate that not less than 100 ,
and possibly more , will bo here. They will
glvo their dances and conduct religious and
other services similar to these In vogue when
Captain Cook visited the islands and was
hot potted and eaten.
Some Spectncnlnr Fcnttircn.
Out on the exposition grounds nearly 100
men have been put to work excavating for
the lake iwhero the spectacular features of
the show will bo exhibited. This lake will
too Just cast of the Transportation building
and north of the Midway on the north tract.
It will bo 300 feet long and ICO loot wide
and deep enough to float a small steamer.
Last year the spectacular features at the
exposition were In the nature of a conces
sion , but this year they will bo more on the
order of an exhibit , controlled to a largo
extent by the exposition management. Al
ready contracts have boon made with the
Pain company for the exhibition of Cuban
and Manila features , and It is likely that the
opening will bo a representation of the
harbor of Havana , with the bay , lllled with
vessels , the Malno occupying a prominent
position In the foreground. Back of this
will bo n painting of the city of Havana ,
showing gloomy old Morro castle. The plan
Is to have this picture show the night pre
ceding the destruction of the Malno , and
the events that followed Immediately there
after. The purpose is to have the lake filled
with small craft nnd to show the efforts that
wore made < to save the lives of the sallore
who were upon the Ill-fated war ship.
Another feature of the spectacular show
will bo the bay at Santiago , the hltls in th

A Meillrnl Dlneovery flint nfTcrtnnlly
Cured PIU'H In livery Form.
For many years physicians have cxpcrl-
merifeJ In vain , seeking n remedy whlrti
would effectually cure piles and other rec
tal troubles , without resorting to a surgical
operation. Many remedies were found to
give temporary relief , but none could be de
pended upon lo make a lasting , satisfactory
CURE.
Within a recent period , however , a now
remedy , the Pyramid Pllo Cure , has been
repeatedly tested In hundreds of cases and
with highly satisfactory results.
The first effect of the Pyramid Pllo Cure
IB to Instantly remove the pain nnd Irrita
tion generally present and from that time on
the curn rapidly progresses nnd before the
patient Is hardly aware of It ho Is entirely
cured , The remedy seems to act directly
on the norvcs and blood vessels of the parts
affected , as It comes Into direct contact with
them and sots up a healthy action , which In
a perfectly natural way brings the parts to
tl.elr normal condition.
The remedy docs Us work without any pain
or Inconvenience to the sufferer nnd Is justly
considered ono of the most meritorious dis
coveries of modern medicine.
Piles Is ono ot the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with which
humanity U afflicted. If neglected it fre
quently develops Into Fistula or some equally
fatal or Incurable trouble , uliereas by the
timely use of this simple but effcctlve'rem-
edy no one need suffer a single day from any
form of piles unless they want to.
The Pyramid Pllo Cure Is perfectly harm
less , containing no mineral poisons , and Is
ulBo very reasonable lu price , costing but
ono dollar a package , It Is sold In drug
V stores everywhere. The manufacturers of
the remedy are the Pyramid Drug Co. of
Marshall , Mich , , who have placed tnla ex
cellent preparation bcforo the public only
after giving It thorough and repeated tea's
in the hands of reputable physicians. The
results In hundreds of cases have convinced
us that it will not disappoint you.

arranged that Cervera'g thlps will gnll ou :
from an opening throjgh the picture , past
around the Morrlmac , sunk by Hobson , and
then make a dash for the open water. Just
at this critical moment the American boats
will open fire and then will begin the chase ,
during which Cervcra's vessels will be

In addition to the foregoing battles , that

In putting on thcso spectacular perform
ances from 300 to100 men will be employed ,

formed in order that the battles may bo aa
realistic as possible. The battles and naval
engagements will be given during the entire
exposition , three nights each week , Tues

to the eea fights , there will be a brilliant
display of fireworks upon each occasion.
STRIKE OF TERMINAL MEN
General MnnitRcr WebMrr Snyn Six
Men Quit llrriniMC They Wanted
Their Money to Spend.
The reported strike of employes of the
Omaha Bridge and Terminal company yes
terday appears to have been premature , as
none of the men have left except for one
day , as It wns too wet for them to work.
Six construction men applied to General Man
ager Webster for tholr tlmo , as they said
they wcro going to quit. They were told
they could have It if they really Intended
to leave the service of the company. They
did not appear very eager after this , so
did not take tholr time checks. Mr. Web
ster said in rcfcrcnco to the quitting ot
these men :
"It has been the custom of the company
to pay Its regular employes twice a month.
Construction employes are paid on tbo 10th
and 25th because they usually require the
use of their money. When men leave the
service of the company they are paid for
all the time they have worked , as there Is
no lack of funds. 'A ' short time ago wo
employed a now timekeeper. Since then the
men have been going to htm and obtain
ing money any time in the month. They
would tell him they Intended to quit and
wanted their time. Ho would glvo them a
check. Then they would como to town and
spend their money In drink and return In
a few days to their work. I found this out
and yesterday when these men applied for
their pay I told them they would have to
wait until the regular pay day , next Sat
urday. I .bellovo they wanted to come to
town and have a good time , as It was rain
ing and they could not work. It Is tedious
work and no small matter to make up the
pay rolls and it Is Impossible to pay the men
more than twice a month , event \ wo
deemed It advisable. "

J' CASE ' i OF BARTLEY BONDSMEN
Motion for Oonttonance , After Vigorous
Argument , is Overruled ,
TRIAL BEGINS THURSDAY BEFORE KEYSOR
Cnnnnol Hnve Ilnthrr n
I.licljTIK All the Iton < 1 nunn
Are Itciircuciilrit hy
Their Attomcj n.
The third trial of the case of the State
against the official bondsmen of Joseph S.
Hartley will 1xs called before Judge Keysor
next Thursday morning. Thlo was decided
late yesterday afternoon after a day of vig
orous argument In which counsel for nearly
all the defendants participated. This ap
parently disposes of the question whether
the suit against the Omaha National banker
or that against the Hartley bondsmen shall
bo pushed first. The state Is endeavoring
to collect the $200,000 that was deposited In
the bank and drawn out on a warrant that
has since proved to .be . Illegal. The Hartley
bondsmen have contended that the state
should endeavor to collect from the bank
first , and that IB the basis ot the Injunction
proceedings still pending In the district court
of Lancaster county. Attorney General
Smyth Insisted on forcing the cnso against
the bondsmen to trial , and ho has succeeded
In having the motion ot opposing counsel
for a continuance overruled.
The attorney general appeared before
Judge Keywor yesterday morning and , after
stating the proceedings that had previously
occurred before Judge Powell , ho presented
n motion that the case should bo tried at
once. In reply to this the defendants sub
mitted a stock of affidavits In support of a
motion for a continuance , which they en
deavored to have considered , as an answer
to the request of the attorney general. The
court refused to allow this , and as' Mr.
Smyth wanted tlmo to examine the affi
davits , if a motion for a continuance waste
to be argued , the case was passed for an
hour at bis request.
Just before noon the attorneys appeared
a second time and Judge Keysor called
Judge Fawcett to alt with him on the appli
cation. Attorney Hansom read the affidavits
presented by the defense. These contended
that there Is still an Injunction from th
district court of Lancaster county In force
which should .prevent action
any on the
case , and that the chief counsel , General
Cowln , Is out of the city and cannot possi
bly be back In tlmo to participate In a trial
at this time. At this point an adjournment
was taken to 2:30 : o'clock.
Smyth UeiiiiinilN Immediate Trial.
In the afternoon Mr. Smyth made a vig
orous argument In favor of an immediate
trial. Ho Insisted that the motion for con
tinuance was a part of the dilatory tactics
of the defense that
, the bondsmen were get
ting rid of their property and preparing to
go Into bankruptcy , and that It was Impera
tive In the Interests of the state that no fur
ther delay should bo permitted. He declared
that the application
for
an Injunction In
Lancaster county was the laughing stock of
the bar of the state , and this , with some
other pleasantries , brought out on Indignant
retort from Mr. Ransom , who accused the
attorney general of insulting him. There
was a lively
conversation
across the table
for a few minutes , but it was shut off by
the court. > J
In replying for the bondsmen Mr. Mana-
? , hot shots at tbe a" ° ° y
general. He
accused Mr. Smyth of being
actuated purely by political motives. Ho
declared that he Is not
trying to take the
course that will protect the interest o ?
the state but the one that will make cap
ital for his party. If the attorney general
was actuated lesa by political motives and
nls desire to protect a particular bank there
would bo no difficulty in bringing the case
to an issue In the case In Lancaster county
said ho. In the opinion of the attorney
general nothing was to bo gained politically
by pushing the suit against a national bank
but ho did see political prestige In pushing
the action against the bondsmen of a de
faulting state treasurer of the opposite po
litical party , who Is now In the penitentiary.
'Mr. ' Bartlett spoke briefly in behalf of the
bondsmen whom he represents and urged
that the showing In support of a continu
ance was ample and that this was the only
question before the court.
IJnte Set for Trial.
Attor a snort consultation Judge Koysor
announced that Judge Fawcett agreed with
him that the motion for a continuance
should bo overruled and that the case
should be called for trial next Thursday.
It appeared that each defendant was rep
resented by counsel nnd wlillo It might bo
desirable to have General Cowln present It
was not essential. He stated that the court
had been frequently assured during the last
week or two that General Cowln would re
turn by Juno 10 and In that case the other
counsel were amply able to ompanncl a
jury. Thcro was little question but that the
chief counsel would bo back In time to
conduct the actual trial of the case.

That the morals of James W. Redman
were ruined by life on a farm Is the some
what unusual story that is set forth in a
petition for divorce that has been filed by
Minnie Hodman , According to the represen
tations ot the Injured wife , Redman wns a
faithfuf and satisfactory husbanl amou.- ; all
the temptations of the city , but when they
moxed on a farm ho succjimbed to the fasci

rapidly regained his health , but at the same
time bo acquired a pronounced admiration
for Freda Weymuller , a blonde nnd robust
German girl , who had been hired to assist
Mrs , Redman with the housework. In a few
months his preference becarao so evident
that the hired girl was the practical head of
the estabrtflhment. Redman refused to cat
any of his wife's cooking , but Insisted that
every dish should bo prepared by his new
flame. Further , Mrs. Redman declares , ho
frequently hugged and kissed Freda In her
presence , and taunted her because she- lacked
the voluptuous charms with which nature
had endowed her rival. The situation be
came unbearable and Mrs , Redman went
homo to her parents , who now reside In
Omaha. She now applies for a divorce on
the ground of abuse and Infidelity.

FUS10N1STS AT OLD TRICKS
Attempt to Kick llr. AVoUnc Out Into
the Cold to Make Ilnom for Dr.
Suvlllc FnllH.
The fusion majority of the Board of
County Commissioners was again In workIng -
Ing order yesterday and the Job. of getting
hold ot what patronage remains In the hands
of the county clerk was once more taken up.
But the combination sprung a leak when It
came to ousting County Physician Welsao In
favor of Dr. J. J. Savllle , as Hector jumped
over the traces and voted with the two
republican members against the change.
Tbo resolution establishing an auditing
department under the exclusive control of
the board came bock from the committee on
court house and Jails with a majority
and minority report. Hofeldt and
Connolly recommended the adoption of the
resolution. Harto recommended contrary
action on the ground that It would Involve
additional expense without facilitating the
conduct of county business , and also because
It contemplated an Indirect violation of the
Injunction recently Issued by the district
rourt. The majority report was adopted
without debate. Ayes , Hector , Hofeldt , Connolly
nelly , 3 ; noes Ostrom , Hnrtc , 2. The resolu
tion byUlch the county clerk was notified to
discharge the present auditing force was
adopted 'by ' a similar vote.
The republican majority of the committee
on charity reported adversely on Connolly's
resolution to appoint Dr. Savlllo/and ( , with
Hoctor's vote , tholr position was sustained.
The commlttoo of the whole reported In
favor of granting the petition of the Douglus
County Agricultural society to the extent of
allowing the appropriations for 1S98 and
1S9S , which amount to $ G,32'J.S5 , On account
of a difference ot opinion In regard to which
fund the 1S98 appropriation should bo
charged to , the final consideration of the
report was postponed to the next meeting.
On mctlon of Hector , Henry Beal was ap
pointed janitor to succeed Joseph Bruckcr.
W. H. Gunsolus was finally formally at
tached to the roll " "
county pay as "messenger"
for the county attorney at a salary of $75 a
month. Hector explained that he had not
Intended to vote for this resolution until just
'before ' the meeting , when the county attor
ney had assured him that another man was
necessary , and that If Gunsolus was not up- I ,
pointed Judge Baker would appoint another | |
bailiff. Leo Helsley was appointed deputy
county attorney by the same party vote ,

CONDUCT OF A CITY COURT
Record of Police Judge Gordon During the
Month of May.
MADEOVERSEVEN HUNDRED CONTINUANCES
ConviotloiiN Were Kciv ,
Only Fifty-Five , AVhlle Over Three
Hundred mill Fifty AVcre 1JU-
iiiiNNcU by 3IiiKlHtrate.
'At ' the request of the city officials Court
OHlcer J. D. A. Johnson has formulated an
Interesting report which gives a brief his
tory of the work of 'the i > ollco court dur
ing the month of May. According to the
figures presented by the officer 726 cases , or
an average of twenty-seven per day , wcro
continued by Judge Gordon during the
month. Of the cases filed 593 were against
men and 122 against women. Fifty-live
convictions wcro recorded and 357 dis
missals. The number of cases on fllo and
awaiting disposition through continuances
at the close of the month was 100.
Continuing on this line 'tho ' court officer
eays :
"Tho above facts are the result of two
things : First , when the prisoners are
brought before the court the clly prosecutor
cuter Is engaged in filing complaints and
has no time 'to ' represent the stato. In
a court disposed to glvo all that Is asked
for by the defendant It leaves the state's
Interest to do the best It can. Five or six
pettifoggers rush up before the court with
out restraint , are granted continuances and
accepted on bonds without any objection
on the part of the state.
"Second , on the 'trial ' day thcso defend
ants , many of them , fall to appear and our
officers make a trip to police court with
out result as the pettifogger appears and
takes another continuance for ifls client.
When 'the ' olllcers are In this manner tired
out It Is necessary to have those complaints
dismissed In order to keep a rocqrd of them.
They are entered by tbo clerk 'dismissed
for want of prosecution , ' which makes up
n part of the court's good record.
"In felony cases this month there have
been nineteen cases tried and cloven of
thorn convicted , which scorns to bo the
result of vigorous prosecution in these
trials.
"Allow mo to suggest that additional
counsel would he of great benefit to our do-
partmcnt , for when wo ore confronted with
a court where our evidence muet be IS
carat pure and where the defendant U
entitled to the benefit of tbo doubt , which
can originate In the court's mind , It Is
necessary to have counsel there who can
hand In all the points In the state's favor. "
