great possibilities for change and both were
closely watched.
The candidates and their managers say
that they did not use any particular sys
tems , but the system of working hard has
been followed by everyone. Some of the
firms sent out cards to the trade , calling
attention to the fact that they had a can
didate In the race and asking for subscrip
tions or coupons. A house to house can
vass was used In most ot the campaigns
nnd was the most effective means at the
command of those not connected with some
large mercantile establishment. These who
were so connected had the advantage of en
listing many hundreds of canvassers and
coupon-clippers. Several firms offered val
uable prizes for the largest number of coupons
In.
pens or subscriptions handed
Kieltrnient In .South Omnlin.
There was considerable excitement In
South Omaha yesterday afternoon over the
closing of the Popular Girl voting contest
and { he workers for the different candidates
hardly stopped to breathe , so busy were they
collecting .coupons . and securing new sub
scriptions.
The principal Interest In South Omaha nat
urally centered In two of the prominent
candidates , Miss Eva Phillips of Swift and
Company and Miss Clara McCann of Omaha.
Quite a delegation from the Swift plant
laid all official cares aside early In the day
and devoted afl of their 'time to the con
test. Unusual activity was dlscernablo at
the Llvo Stock exchange , where commission
men and shippers wcro being urged to help
the Swift force along. As a general thing
the appeals were granted nnd In many In-
utances large advance payments on subscrip
tions -were made. After the exchange had
been thoroughly canvassed the Swift workers
turned their attention to the business part
of the city and a thorough canvass was made.
In some Instances Inducements were offered
In order to secure long-tlmo prepaid sub
scriptions.
The force nt Cudnhy's was Just as hard at
work for iMlns McCann as the Swifts were
for Miss Eva Phillips and between the two
working- parties South Omaha was pretty
thoroughly gone over.
At tha time of the closing of the ballot
box the Cudahy and Swift forces wore both
confident ot winning'but ' It was Impossible
to oven estimate the number of votes which
had been secured In the Magic City during
the day.
Ml * * Eva I'hllllp * .
G. B. Palmer , who holds a responsible po
sition In Swift and Company's beef depart
ment , managed the campaign for Miss Eva
Phllllpe , and certainly deserves the greatest
credit for the nblo manner In which he
looked after Miss Phillips' compalgn. Mr.
Palmer eayo that w < hen The Bee first an
nounced Its liberal vacation offer a few of
tlie employes of the firm , held a conference
and decided that Swift and Company ought
to be represented. As Miss Phillips , during
her two years' employment at the plant , had
been very agreeable nnd courteous to all , It
won decided that an effort would bo made to
secure for her ono of the four vacation
prizes. Another reason for selecting Miss
Phillips was that the women In the office
earned salaries sufficient to allow them to
take a trip of the kind proposed if they so
desired , while In other parts ot the house
auch Is not the case. As soon as Miss Phil
lip * ' name was mentioned she proved a fa
vorite and nearly every employe set to work
to secure all of the coupons possible. All
the headg of departments took an Interest In
the matter as well as iMr. E. C. Price , the
genial general manager.
About the flrst step taken by Mr. Palmer
was the offering of a prize to the office
and messenger boys for the most coupons.
To the boy who secured the most votes $5
was given , $3 to the next , and $2 for the
third. This plan worked all right for a
time , but It began to bo whispered about
that some of tbo boya were holding- back
their votes until the last day. In order
fj to overcome this an additional prize of $2
was offered on June 24 to the boy who would
turn In the most coupons. This subprlzo
went to Frank Sherwood , who managed in
eome way to acquire 3,725 coupons. Up to
Friday night Sherwood had turned In some
thing llko 10,000 votes.
.Mr. Pnlmor says that every one In the
offlco was solicited to subscribe for The
Be . These who wcro subscribers were urged
to pay a month , six months or a year
in advance In order to secure votes. While
the Idea of assisting Miss Phillips etarte'd
with the heads of departments the fever
soon spread all over the plant nnd the em
ployes generally assisted In the collection
of coupons.
Prizes were offered In Council Bluffs and
othr places for votes , and in this way
many wcro received. Circular letters were
nent out to all of the Swift traveling men.
One of these commercial tourists sent In
7.264 votes the last week of June , which
he had secured by obtaining prepaid sub-
rarlptlons In the territory In which ho
travels. All of the traveling representatives
of the company assisted In this work , but
the one montloncd carried off the banner.
Letters , Mr , Palmer sayg , were written to
nil of the branch houses dt the company
nnd also to personal friends of the employes.
These letters brought returns In the shape
nf from one to 100 votes. Some assistance
was received from the employes of Armour
& Co. , which was very acceptable.

Mr Palmer asserts that votes have been
received from friends of the firm In Chicago
cage anJ from points ns far cast as Bos
on. The branch bouses In Omaha were
worked and In this way many coupons were
ilckcd up. A great deal of assistance was
rendered by the cattle , hog and sheep Jbuy-
ers for Swift and Company and these same
5ityer secured many subscriptions at the
Ave Stock exchange.
Coupons came In from the country cus-
omers of Swift and Company , one flrm , that
of Hufsmlth Bros , of Crelghton. Neb. , nend *
ng In 1,140.
AH the foremen at the plant have sub
scribed for The Bee for from six months tea
a year , paying In advance In order to ch
ain the advantage In votes. Most of the
otcs have been secured , Mr. Palmer says , |
jy procuring sut 2rlbcrB. In this work
nearly every one from the genenl manager
lown to the office boys have taken a hand.
The young women In the office also have
done their share , and even some of those
who were In the list of contestants have
contributed coupons. In this thorough ,
mslnessllke way the campaign was car
ried on , the Intention being to win If pos
sible.
Miss Phillips' homo Is at Twentieth and I
zard streets , Omaha , and she has worked {
at the Swift plant for nearly two years.
She has charge of the girls In the smoke-
lotisc who do the sewing. From the em
ployes It Is learned that she la exceedingly
lopular. In appearance Alls * Phillips Is a
irunette , Is very pretty and modest , and
tas hosts of friends. She Is a sister of
5corge Phillips , the well known and clever
jlcycle trick rider.
Ml * * CInrn. McCnnn.
The campaign for Miss Clara McCann was
managed by her two brothers , Peter and Al
McCann. In this work .the . brothers were
ably assisted by James Hush of the Munshaw
Lumber company , South Omaha.
Peter McCann travels for the Cudahy
lacking Company and by constant solicita
tion a great many of the company's custom
ers were Induced to subscribe for The Bee
In order that the votes might go toward
swelling Miss McCann's total. On his travels
through Iowa Mr , McCann met many friends
who volunteered to assist In the work of
collecting coupons. The bulk of the votes
from Iowa , however , were secured by sub
scriptions from six months to a year.
About a week ago the heads of the de
partments at the Cudahy plant became In
terested In the outcome and declared that
everything possible should be done to se
cure ono of the vacation prizes for Miss
McCann. Superintendent Dau Cameron , As
sistant Superintendent Frank Kennedy , Of
flco Manager Forbes and Kmil Strauss , man
ager of the soap factory , took hold of the
contest in earnest and secured many sub
scribers. The branch houses of the Cudahy
company were Interested and from those
quite a large number of votes were received.
Traveling representatives of the company
were requested to keep an eye out for votes
and to secure as many new subscribers as
possible.
James Rush says that a large proportion
of the votes was secured by personal solicita
tion on the part of the friends of Miss Mc
Cann. Coupons were saved by those who
were already on The Bee's subscription list
and those who were not were Induced to
prepay a subscription for several weeks or
months.
iMessrs. Thompson & Beldcn rendered val
uable assistance In the work , as did also
nearly all of the clerks In the store. Many
of Thompson & Belden's customers , who fre
quently meet Miss McCann , volunteered as
sistance , and not only subscribed for the
paper , but collected votes which they turned
over to her.
As far as the octual voting of the coupons
pens was concerned , Miss McCann attended
to that herself. Nearly all the votes se
cured were turned over to her by her friends
and she decided from day to day how many
votes should be cast.
Miss McCann resides with -hor parents at
Ninth and Oak streets , Omaha , and Is a
brunette of pleasing manner. With all who
know her she is exceedingly popular. For
the last four years she has been employed
by Thompson , Belden & Co. , and prior to
that time was with N. B. Falconer.
Minn Florence RnilKcri.
Miss Florence Rogers of the Richardson
Drug Co. has also been at her desk every
hour of the working day since 'the ' contest
started. The customers of the flrm , most
of whom are entire strangers to her , have
from time to time sent In subscriptions and
when coming to the office on business have
left her bundles of coupons. Her dally mall
has been enormous the past week and every
letter has , of course , brought coupons or a
subscription. The office force has helped her
In every possible way. She has done but a
comparatively small part of the work her-
sert , her efforts being confined to a few
calls on friends on the way homo from
the office. She says these calls have been
fruitful , however , as almost every family
has been willing to give her a year's sub
scription. Miss Rogers has been with her
flrra seven years and enjoys its highest con
fidence.

The campaign for Mlfis Pearl Sundcrland ,
day counter clerk for the Postal Telegraph
company , was conducted almost entirely by
F. W. Hothcry of the same office. She did
but little personal soliciting herself. Her
cause was handicapped by a late start and
considerable work was required to overcome
the headway gained by some of the candi
dates before she had really begun. Her
mime first appeared with seven votes when
the leader bad almost 700 and before she
had 1,000 the leader had six times that num
ber. But her dally gain was steady , being
about 2,000 a day for some time. Later the
dally gains were , of course , greater , but leas
regular. Coupons were clipped for her In
dustriously , but her manager practically dis
regarded the effect of single coupons in castIng -
Ing about for resources. Ho did not go out-
nldo of the city , as a number of other man
agers did , though ho says that If his can
didate had entered the race a Jlttlo earlier
ho could have worked a large portion of
the state through the offices of the com
pany. It happened also that many of the
employes of the local office happened to be
Interested In other candidates through re
lationship and otherwise.

iMIsa Grace Gunnel ! owes the excellent race
she made almost entirely to her popularity
with her flrm , Sherman & McConnell Drug
Co. , and with their customers. Her as
sociates In the store have been most active ,
Mr. McConnell himself securing for her
thirty-three yearly subscriptions. He gave
these to her one day last week , up to which
time she was Ignorant of their existence.
She says that It fairly took her breath away
to have so many votes dropped upon her at
once. She did but little soliciting herself ,
but members of the flrm and employes men
tioned tbo mnttpr to a great many of their
customers , who readily consented to hand
In their names for a year's subscription.
Friday a number of her friends calfed her
up by telephone and offered to take yearly
subscriptions for her benefit. Miss Gunnel !
\a \ a graduate of the HlRh school and has
been with the flrm live years. She la a very
capable pharmacist tbo only woman pharm
acist In the city and , as the flrm believes ,
In the state. They say , at any rate , that
she Is the best ,
MU Ailn Tnlmngr.
Miss Ada M. Talmage of M. E. Smith &
Co , was aided very materially by her as
sociates in the office. Customers of the
flrm and friends of hers alike sant In sub
scriptions and bundles of coupons. Members
of the office ay the first place would have
been a walkaway for them had U not been
for the fact that the flrm had two candidates ,
one In the factory and one In the office. At
steadily at work for her. Miss Talmago has
steadily a twork for her , Miss Tannage has
not lost an hour from the office and what
work she did in her own behalf was done
after hours.
.Ml Cnrrlc OcttnipnnRlt.
Miss Carrie Ocumpaugh , one of the pro
prietors of the Dodec street luncheon , has
conducted her own campalcn entirely , and
did most of her own work. She says that
during the last few weeks she has not
cared so much about the result , as with
out any reward , her efforts were repaid In
the favorable notice and the many friends
her participation In the contest gained for
her business. She did not have the ad
vantage enjoyed by some of the contest
ants , of having the employes of a large
mercantile house working for her. Her
own employes have been limited In num
ber , but have been Intensely loyal. She
has been surprised , she says , by the at
tention the contest has been attracting
from the general public. Every day people
who were strangers to her came to her
place and upon leaving deposited coupons
at the cashier's desk for her. She Is very
glad she overcame her reluctance and en
tered the race. Llko most of the other con
testants , she adopted no regular system of
working.
From time to time various Omaha flrms
have added to the Interest by offering prizes
for the flrst or second fours. On Juno 8
the management of the Crelghton-Orpheum
tendered the use of a box to each of the lead
ing four. They were at that time Misses
Phillips. Rablnowltz. Rehfeld and Rogers.
On June 18 the Boston store gave a handsome
parasol to each of the second four , as the
contestants then stood. The parasols went
to Misses Palmer , Talmage , Llndqulst and
Gunnell. A. B. Hubermann offered the fol
lowing prizes to the second set of four at
the finish : 1 , diamond ring ; 2 , 14k gold ring ,
opal setting ; 3 , solid gold sleeve links ; 4 ,
consolation prize , gold wedding ring.
Cloning ? 'Incident ' * .
At 6 o'clock the doors of the business office
were closed while there were yet many In
line , waiting to vote. A record of their
votes was made and preserved , but the
votes were not counted , protests being made
on behalf of condldates who had finished all
their voting , In this way 17,000 votes which
would have been credited to Miss Phillips
were thrown out. In spite of this , however ,
she had the biggest total.
Late last night a number of the employes
of Swift and Company came to The Bee
office to learn the result of the contest.
When they heard that their candidate had
won , they departed down the street with loud
yells of triumph. It Is said that the em
ployes of this company have raised a fund
to celebrate their victory on the Midway
Tuesday night.

"Jack the Peeper" Is abroad In the land ,
He Is making life miserable for resldentK of
the northern part of the. city and they have
applied to tbo police for protection from his
Intrusions. Numerous rases have been re
ported to the station where women whose
husbands are absent from the city have been
annoyed and alarmed nights at neelng a
strange fare peering at them from the dark
ness outside their bedroom windows.
Then , too , young women returning home
evenings shortly after dusk have been ac
costed by a man , and from the description
of him they have given It seems to have been
the same man In each Instance. Fathers and
brothers have hunted for the stranger , but
he baa successfully eluded their search.
Late Saturday night when members of the
Secard family , living nt 2735 Seward street ,
were preparing to retire , the "face at the
window" that hua been the talk of the
neighborhood was seen. F. A. Secard made
a rush for the nearest door and In a few
seconds was outside in the yard , but the
"peeper" had taken alarm and vanished , and
no trace of him was found. A special1
patrolman for the neighborhood has been
asked for and the request will be granted.

Mrs. Carl Stevens of Mapleton , la. , has ap

her recreant husband , who Is thought to be
In the city. Stevens was proprietor of n
bicycle repair shop at Mapleton. Three
weeks ago be went to Sioux City on busi
ness , he told his wife , but when ho re
mained away longer than be ought Mrn.
Stevens became alarmed , and making In
quiries , learned that her husband disposed
of raoBt of his stock ID Sioux City and then
left for Omaha. The police are trying to
find the missing raau , but they think he took
bis departure before bis nlfe'a arrival.

time of leaving Sixteenth and Douglas
streets until the entrance to the grounds
was reached.
It was nearly 1 o'clock when the parade
reached the exposition grounds. The march
was a long one , but nil of the men In line
stood It well. It was out over Sixteenth
street and Sherman avenue to Wlrt street.
From there It turned west to Twentieth and
thence north to the exposition grounds.
After passing through the gates the men
on foot passed under the Arch of States and
on to the Grand Court ; turning to the right ,
they marched to tlit Auditorium , where they
disbanded and partook of a dinner at several
of the restaurants , being the guests of the
exposition management.
The carriages containing officials and
guests , after entering the Twentieth street
gate , turned to the right , and passing to the
rear of the buildings proceeded to the Audi
torium , where the occupants dismounted
and walked to the building , where the exer
cises of the day were held.

While the crowd that was on the grounds
when the parade arrived did not approxi
mate the crush that swarmed through the
buildings and enfiladed the main court a year
ago , there were enough people to give the
re-created white city an animated appear
ance. The benches In the main court were
occupied by hundreds of happy couples who
had como to make a day of U and the Audito
rium was partially filled before the paraders
filed In and occupied the remaining seats.
The changes that have been made In the in
terior arrangement of the building effected a
marked improvement and the decorations of
bunting and tropical plants were simple but
effective.
The parade arrived just before 1 o'clock
and Godfrey's British Guards band played a
processional march written for the occasion
by Mr. Wlllmers while the official party was
distributing Itself among the reserved seats.
This was followed by a short program. In
which several of the soloists were given an
opportunity to win the pronounced approval
of the crowd. " "
The rendition of "Columbia"
Introduced the exercises of the day and It
was followed by nn earnest and appropriate
prayer by Rev. George Coombs of Kansas
City.
The stirring melody of the "Star Spangled
Banner" evoked a burst of enthusiasm that
continued when President George L. Miller
rose to make the opening address. In the
name of the poaple of Omaha and on behalf
of the exposition management he extended
a cordial welcome to every visitor Inside the
gates of the White City. In this he ad
dressed with especial emphasis the Nebraska
volunteers who sat directly before him.
Exposition * Arc Hilucntorn.
Speaking of the exposition , he declared
that It has come to be admitted that great
expositions are the educators of the people.
They educate on a broader scale than any
other agency. They Implant a I vc for the
beautiful as well as an appreciation of the
practical. While It has been said that some
of them are Inspired by the hope of gain ,
he declared that had It not been for the
love of gain no cable would stretch under
the Atlantic ocean today and no railroad
would span this continent.
Continuing , Dr. Miller declared that It Is
the purpose of the management to keep this
exposition on a higher plane than Its prede
cessors ever reached. Nothing will bt per
mitted either on the Midway or elsewhere
that would offend the modesty of any man's
wife or daughter.
The colonial phases of the show were
briefly emphasized. Dr. Miller declare ! that
the characteristics of our new possessions
can be more intelligently understood In
these grounds than even by a trip to the
Islands themselves. Here the children , as
well as their elders , can learn much that
could never be acquired In school and at
the name time enjoy a recreation that will
be at once healthful and enjoyable. In con
clusion President Miller explained that a
long process of red tape hud delayed some
of the colonial features , but they are on the
way and will amply satisfy the most ex
travagant expectations.
Senator Iliiyivaril'n AililrrNx.
Another selection by the band preceded
an address by Senator M. L. Hayward , who
excused himself from making a more elabo
rate speech on the ground that he was fa
tigued after a week of continuous traveling.
He eulogized Nebraska as the best place on
earth for a man to make a living In , and
complimented Omaha on the magnificent en
terprise that has been twice carried to com
pletion. In this connection ho quoted a re
mark made by President McKlnley a few
days ago In a conversation In which ho de
clared that the Transmlssleslppl Expcultlon
was the greatest achievement he had ever
witnessed.
There had been some criticism , continued
Senator Hayward , because Omaha had gone
on with the Miow this year. For himself he
Is for the exposition bccauso he Is for Ne
braska. No matter whether It was wisely
conceived or not It Is our exposition and wo
should make It a success.
Before Introducing the next speaker Presi
dent Miller expressed the hearty thanks of
the executive committee , the directory and
himself for the able assistance that had
been received from Senator Hayward In
building up the exposition.
The final address was delivered by Gen
eral Manderson , who also abbreviated his
remarks In deference to the extreme heat
In the building and the dinner hour that
had passed two hours before. He called at
tention to the fact that the exposition marks
an era of momentous significance. Looking
backward WB can point to bill few years
that are really worthy of remembrance on
account of the great events they brought
with them. Ho then referred briefly to the
succession of events that has made these
last two years forever memorable In Ameri
can history. He traced the Incidents that
led to the acquisition of a new empire from
the proclamation of war and Dewey'a vic
tory to the valiant charges of Nebraska
troops across the rlco fields In Luzon. This
exposition Is the expression of what these
years have accomplished and hence comes
before the people with a deeper
and greater significance than any previous
similar enterprise. In conclusion he referred
eloquently to the magnificent surroundings
In which the colonial spectacle Is housed and
bespoke a success scarcely less notable than
that which crowned the enterprise of 18S8.
The band played "America" as a conclud
ing selection and those of the audience who
had not already gone In search of a long de
layed lunh rose and sang the melody. Pres
ident Miller declared the Greater America
Exposition formally opened.
Conrert Driiivn n ( iooil Crotril ,
The first evening concert of the expo-
eltlon entertained a crowd that fairly filled
the Plaza notwithstanding an unfortunate
blunder on the part of the teat concesslon-
lat that caused several hundred auditors
to leave In disgust. When the concert be-
sau the reserved seat tickets bad not bcco
rc tfjvMl And the eonic sionl t refused to
permit anyone to sit down A few people
crept In under the Vopes when the g > i\rds
were not looking , but hundreds of others
who were ready to pay for seals were kept
standing In cpltc of Ihclr vigorous pro
tests. After the concert wns partially over
the tickets * were received , but by that time
a largo portion of the nudlcnre wan too
thoroughly disgusted to fully appreciate the
really enjoyable music that was provided.
Godfrey's band played a well-chosen pro
gram with a degree of artistic taste that
established the fact that It Is composed of
thorough musicians. The band lacks the
complete Instrumentation of one or two
of the organizations that wcro heard on
the same platform a year ago , but Us work
Is characterized by muslclanly taste , and
Its accompaniments are particularly well
done. Among the popular numbers of last
night's program were cornet nnd piccolo
solos by Messrs. Kettlowell and Redfern ,
Vollsted's "Jolly Fellows" waltz aud the
concluding fantasle , whlrh was descriptive
of the visit of an English Meet to the United
States.

\Vllli nn ( iltnmlnnrn nf 7 MS. nsldo from
those who were In the parade and passed
Into the grounds through tht > Twentieth
street gate , the flrst day of the exposition
closed with the spectacular destruction of
the Spanish fleet and Fort CavlleIn the har
bor of Manila. The scene was laid the night
before Dewey commenced the bombardment.
The night before the naval battle was a
fcto occasion In Manila and along the water
front of the city there was a great public
demonstration , consisting of a review of the
Spanish troops. There were Jugglers , tum
blers , acrobats and athletic sports , all per
forming their respective parts In the play ,
amusing the populace.
Night Is presumed to have come over the
scene and all Is quiet In the city and upon
the bay. Lights shine out from the vessels
lying In the harbor- sentries patrol the
beach and the Inhabitants little dream of the
great bUtlo of the morrow. From grlni old
Fort Cavlte signal lights shine over the
water. Indicating that all Is well. Morning
breaks and the discovery Is made that the
American fleet has drawn nearer the mouth
of t'he ' harbor , the vessels of Dewey being In
plain sight. There Is hurrying to nnd fro
nnd the word Is passed along the line that
the ships of the hated Yankees are drawing
near.

Is Immediately answered by the Olyiiipla , and
before the echoes die away the refrain Is
taken up by the Baltimore nnd the other
American vessels. The two Meets draw
closer together and the cannonading becomes
general. One after another of tlie Spanish
war ships , disabled , start toward the
beach , only to sink to the bottom under the
well directed fire of the trained blue- jackets
of the American navy. Amid the din and
through the smoke and while magazines of
the fort and on the ships ar * exploding , the
stars and stripes are seen to take the place
of the yellow flag over Cavlte. American
seamen laud on the shore and n hand-to-
hand conflict between them and the Span-
lards follows. This contest continues for a
few minutes nud until the Spaniards are
driven from their stronghold and seek safety
by retreating to the city. A cheer goes up
which is joined In by the audience and then
the display of fireworks begins.
The fireworks last night were pronounced
as fine as have ever been seen In the city
and consisted of hundreds of rockets , ( hells ,
bombs and moving pieces. Two of the fixed
pieces that were loudly applauded were the
portraits of President McKlnley and Presi
dent George L. MHler. A patriotic piece
that was greatly admired was entitled "Tho
Spirit of 1776 Is Undlmmed In 180S. "

The long march toSLbe exposition grounds
proved to be rathcrlrylng on the soldiers
and the cadets and immediately after eating
dinner they repaired to the Transportation
building , where cots and blankets for all
had been provided. There they rested for a
couple of hours , after which they made the
rounds of the buildings und the Midway ,
where everything was open to them , and that
without asking. At C o'clock they were called
out for dress parade , going to the old In
dian congress grounds , now converted Into
a race course. At this place n large number
of people congregated and witnessed the mil
itary evolutions for nn hour. The cadets of
both Omaha and Council Bluffs took part In
the drefs parade and came In for their share
of the applause , which was very generous.
After dr.--ss parade the soldiers responded
to supper call nnd after finishing the meal
they again made tlie rounds of the Midway ,
retiring EOOII after 10 o'clock.
Hither the fatigue of the- march or the
Missouri river water had a disastrous effect
upon the soldiers , keeping fully one-third
nf them away from the dress parade.
However , later In the evening they showed
up In good shape and apparently they were
as well us though they had not been granted
slrk leave.
During the remaining days ot the reunion
of tha volunteers strict military discipline
will bo maintained. The order of the day
will bo as follows : Arise at G a. m. ; break
fast at 7 ; guard mount at 9 ; company drill
from 10 to 11 ; dinner at noon ; dress parade
at 5 p. m. and taps at 10 o'clock. Guards are
constantly on duty and are relieved with as
much regularity as though the men were In
the field. The same rules apply to the cadets
as to the soldiers-
With the soldier boys the occasion Is a
very enjoyable ono. It resembles < l > o gath
ering of a large number of families who
I'.avo been separated nnd arc apnln unltrfl.
The boys gather In little groups In the build
ing , spin yarns and fight the buttles over
again.
All yesterday afternoon the camp WM the
grent attraction of the exposition. Men and
women from tlioclty. surrounding towns nnil
the country were constantly In the building ,
greeting the boys and renewing old acquaint
ances.

The Midway wns In full blast jrestenlar
afternoon and last evening. Ttcro wora
crowds of people nt the shows , yet the
shows did not realize any very heavy re
ceipts from the attendance , ns the bulk nt
those who passed through the gates were
Mildlcrj and cadets , who had the freedom
of the grounds and knew how to use It.
Not all of the shows were ready for busi
ness , but those that were not will open
their doors today or on Monday.
The Streets of Cairo was the flrst of the
Midway concessions to entertain the people
yesterday. The ballyhoo was Riven promptly
nt 1 o'clock and from that time until tha
lights went out nt midnight there was a
hot show. The street parade was all that
had been promised , while In the theater
there was a performance that was warmer
than the weather outside.
A few moments after 1 o'clock the speller
at HaRonback's made his appearance , bring
ing a female snake charmer Into the lobby ,
and after explaining the features of the
show within the pavilion Invited the crowd
In. This crowd did not need a second In
vitation and from that time on until the
closing hour the show went oft with all of
Its old-time snap.
The Cyclorama opened during the after
noon aud caught hundreds of the soldiers ,
young and old. The old-time fighters told
tlio lads of the battle fought above the
clouds , while the lads listened and opined ,
that It wns a fight that 'was ' not much hatter
than those at Santiago nnd Manila.
The Old Plantation opened for Us flrnt
show at 5 o'clock and from that hour until
midnight It had all the business that It
could handle. People who have made a
study of "coon" shown pronounced this a
llttlo the best that they had seen. The
buck nnd wing dancing was put on with a
vim that pleased the audience , while tha
cake walk was amusing ns well as enter
taining. The Wallace sisters appeared for
the flrst time In Omaha nnd rendered a
number of vocal selections that were loudly
encored.
The iMoorlsh palace proved a surprise to
many who visited the place. People ex
pected to see the huge building filled with
lay figures of common , everyday people , but
Instead they found , In wax , correct Imper
sonations of the prominent men and women
of the world. Thrco shows are run In con
nection with the palace and nil ot them put
on programs that were pleasing as well aa
Instructing.
The Filipino restaurant Is ono of the eating
halls on the Midway that hna suddenly
jumped Into popular favor. It did a big
i business yesterday and all who went there
lieft well pleased.
The Congress of Beauty drew like a house
on flre. All of the boys , a8 well ns th
women , wanted to sco the girls who have
been heralded as the most handsome crea
tures In existence. People found all that
they expected , for the damsels were fair to
look upon. Thnre were blondes nnd bru
nettes , but they were nil good lookers.
The Artist's Studio was one of the at
tractions during both afternoon nnd even-
Ing. A very select crowd vlHlted the place
and only words of praise were heard for tha
exhibition.
Lunette did a good business and the mys
tery of the illusion was as great as when
the attraction was here last year. These
who visited the place were unable to un
derstand how the young woman could rest
In midair , without anything to support her
WOlRht.
The Scenic Railway , the Chutes and the
Giant Seesaw had about all of the - business
ness that they could handle , while the res
taurants nnd Schllt ! ! garden wcro crowded
with people who eeemed to care more for
the inner man than gazing at the attrac
tions outside or rubbernecking along th
grounds.
