On the official program of the exposition ,
r stcrday 'was designated as children's day ,
not only for the Omaha children , but for
those from all over the Unite. ! State * . Ot
course not all the chlWrcn In the country
were upon the grounds , yet thcro were
plenty of them. They came ou. early and retrained -
trained late. Thcro were children from the
city , from South Omaha and Council Bluffs ,
and from all the surrounding country. Ono
thing that may bo said to their credit Is that
they behaved Ilka llttlo men and women nnd
will be Invited to como again next Wednes
day.
day.While
While there was a great Influx ot children ,
there were more adults than usual at the
exposition. Many were straugers In the
city , yet more came to accompany thc-lr
boys , and girls. Some of these came In the
morning and remained during the day , yet
the big majority Journeyed out to the grounds
in the evening to sea the little folks homo
nafcly.
The children's day program started off
with an Indian parade In the morning , nearly
300 redskins taking part. They were led oft
by the members of the Indian band In a
band v agon. Air of the Indians were
mounted and were clothed In garments that ,
so far as color was concerned , would have
dimmed a rainbow and would have made It
feel ashamed. They wore the regulation war
bonnets and from their arms and legs jln-
filcd hundreds of bells as their ponies , on
which they were mounted , jogged along.
Wrapped around them were blankets of red ,
yellow , blue , green and kindred bright col-
i ors.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the Indians rode
down Twentieth street and passed out of the
grounds through the gate just to the cast of
"the " Press building. Then they rode over to
v
V Sherman avenue and proceeded down town ,
\ where they paraded aH the principal streets ,
returning to the grounds Just at noon , fol
lowed by a troop ot llttlo folks.
During the afternoon the British band
gave a concert and another In the evening ,
both of which were largely attended. At the
evening musical event thcro was a brilliant
display of fireworks , which pleased the
children Immensely , all of whom congregated
upon the Plaza -to listen to the music.
The iblcyclo races in the afternoon at
tracted a great many of the young folks to
the grand stand , where they munched pea
nuts and popcorn. Immediately following
.the bicycle races there was an Indian dance
In the center of the race course. It was anew
now feature and , although not advertised ,
drew many of the older people as well as the
children.

Whllo the Fine Arts building Is filled with
Inc paintings , ( water colors and ceramics ,
.hero arc otlll other attractions that enter
tain and Interest the visitors , There are
statues ot clay , marble and bronze , the
landlwork of eomc of the most prominent
sculptors tn the country.
In pacing the pieces throughout the bulld-
ng Superintendent Keys has showed ex
cellent Judgment and has scattered them
about , so that when one tires of gazing
at the picture * ) , it is an easy matter to turn
In another direction and rest the ryes by
viewing some magnificent piece of statuary.
.Many of the pictures ot statuary are heroic
In size , while others are IIfo size and still
others are small. All are mounted upon
pedestals , which are ornamented in nn ar
tistic manner , thus giving the statuary and
the surroundlngn a very pleasant effect. To
describe all the pieces would take up too
much space nnd hence only the best and the
most Interesting arc mentioned.
"The Puritan , " by J. Q. A , Ward , occu
pies a prominent position in the center ot
the cast gallery and is the original plaster
from which the bronze etatuo la Central
Park , Now York , -was cast. The stern feat
ures ot the New England colonist have been
molded with nuch fidelity that one would
recognize "The Puritan" .without . the typi
cal colonist costume with which the sculptor
has clothed the statucd form.
A Matuo In * 'tho nude , worthy of much
careful study la "Tho Awakening of
Spring , " represented < by a woman standing
with extended arms and hands. It may be
that the sculptor was mindful of the fact
that perfection is seldom If ever found In
ono body , or that the creature of his fancy
which rcpresento an Immature , uncertain
season , was not intended to be entirely per
fect. Whatever may have been the sculp
tor's conception of his subject , it is certain
that the flat forearms nnd somewhat bony
wrists are the unlovely portions of the
statue , otherwise remarkable for Its beauty
and languorous grace.
Another statue 'by ' the same sculptor is the
"Indian Hunter" in the act of shooting. The
nimble llthosomcness of the figure Is as char
acteristically Indian as are the features and
the attitude. This statue- has attracted the
attention of all the Indians , who have fouud
their -way into the Art building nnd the
only criticism offered by them is that the
"Indian is too white. "
The "Mother nnd Child" is a bas relief by
the same sculptor. It is noticeable for Its
simple faithfulness to nature.
"Fraement for a Fountain , " by H. K.
BliBb Brawn , Is charming in Idea and beau
tifully modeled , representing two small boys
at uloy. One stands up and holds a conch
shell over his head , from which the water
is supposed to flow upon the kneeling figure
of the other boy , who ducks his head in
expectant fashion. ( Another fountain design
la that of "The Boy with Geese , " a bronze ,
owned by Georce W. Vanderbllt , and the
work of K. T. F. Bitter.
( A wonderfully pleasing small cast is that
by Isidore Kentl , entitled "Pan and Cupid. "
The statue of James Kent in his Judge's
robe , ithe orlclnal bronze of which Is In
the Congressional Library , 'Is by George E.
BlBsell. as is also the "Diogenes" In the
same gallery.
"Tho Test" Js a statue of a stripling boy
< who , "with sword In hand and hard set , de
termined face , awaits some expected con-
itest of skill as a swordsman. The marble
head of the Italian boy is by the same
sculptor.
"Christopher Columbus , " by Bartlett , the
original otwhich is in the Congressional
library , occupies the center of the west gal
lery.

tozzled hair Is rldlnc ft wave , while holdIng -
Ing in its bands a mussel shell.
A bronze head of Lincoln , by 'Moynlhan ' ,
and a bronze bas-relief , by Kltson , of Phil
Sheridan , commands much attention.
A head of a beautiful woman , probably a
portrait bust , Is by Ghlssel Durfee. and is
named "My Sister. "
Women as sculptors make a good showing
In this collection of heads and busts.
There is something especially winning and
girlish in the head of "Tho Portuguese
Girl , " by Leila Usher , and her portrait bust
of an elderly woman shows understanding
and feeling in the handling of a difficult
subject.
The head of "Ilomola" attracts and holds
attention by reason of the womanly kind
liness expressed in the noble , thoughtful
face. This Is the work of Katherlne M.
Cohen , who is also happily represented by
a 'head of a "Little Boy , " which Is ad
mirable. The llttlo fellow's face is that
of the typical American boyfrom which
the baby expression has not as yet passed ,
even with the dignity of his 3 or 4 years
nnd possibly trousers with pockets.
An interesting bas-relief , by Victor Clanl ,
shows a woman no longer young , yet too
young as women of today reckon to be
called mlddle-aced. Lost In thought she
Is seated beside a table on which she rests
on extended arm , tbo band of which holds

The portrait bust of Felix Morris , "In
the Game of Cards , " is by J , S. Hartley ,

JS'lncteen of the Filipinos who will help
to furnish attractions for the amusement ECO-
tlon of the exposition have arrived and have
taken up their quarters In the Filipino vil
lage on the West Midway. They are all
men and are from the Island of Luzon ,
which place they loft thlrty-flvo days ago.
A number of them were in Agulnaldo's army
and deserted to come to America. Others
are from tbo extreme north and were for
merly members of the band of Tagals who
started out with bows and arrows , using
them against the r I lies and artillery ot the
United States troops.
The Filipinos yesterday were trans
ferred to tbo grounds. Their first act waste
to take a plunge in the little lake in the
center of the village' , after which they In
spected the Interior of the theater and the
numerous buildings of the village. After
breakfast they made a tour of the grounds
and through their Interpreter expressed much
surprise as they viewed the sights spread
out before them. Later in the day they
went to work upon the huts which they will
occupy during their stay here. They gave
the carpenters and other workmen points
relative to Filipino construction , and ren
dered much assistance In this way ,
All of the Filipinos who have arrived are
cither actors or professional people in one
way or another. A number of them are fine
musicians , while others are sailors.
The Filipinos differ in every respect from
the otbw foreigners who are here. They
are all very small , not one of them belns ;
larger thau an average-sized American bcJ/
15 years of age. They are very slim , dark-
complexioned , with coal 'black ' hair And
eyes. Their hair is perfectly straight , in
dicating that there Is no negro blood in their
veins , Their features arc something like
those of the Japanese : however , they are
not as regular. With reference to lan
guage , they don't appear to have any that
la separate and distinct. In their con
versation they use a mixture composed of
Spanish , Chinese and Japanese , not speak
ing any one correctly.

A telegram was received from Washing
ton yesterday stating that the Filipinos
detained at San Francisco had boon ordered
released upon an assurance from the ex

COM.MISSIOM2R TOWSI3 IS COMINO.

In nn ( lie Wny from Ilinvnll.
Through the latest Honolulu papers Secre
tary Logan ot the Hawaiian commission has
received the first definite Intelligence ot the
departure of Commissioner Towsc , who was
appointed in place of Governor Cleghorn
when that gentleman was forbidden by hU
physician to como to Omaha. Just before
his departure the new commissioner was ap
pointed a member of the military staff of
President Dole with the rank of captain.
Captain Towse brings , besides the articles
bespoken by Secretary Logan before his de
parture , Hawaiian palms and other plants ,
together with exhibits contributed up to hU
leaving. When the additions are installed
Hawaii will certainly have ono of the most
attractive sections at the exposition.
A now exhibit Just placed by Secretary
Logan consists of flics of Honolulu papers ,
Including four dallies , two weeklies and a
monthly. This last is the "Paradise of < ho
Pacific , " a periodical subsidized by the local
government for advertising the attractions
and resources of the group. Copies of the
July number have been received for dis
tribution. This number contains a descrip
tive article on Honolulu from the pen of
Secretary Logan , being extracted from a
beautiful handbook just Issued by the gov
ernment and which will bo distributed at
the exposition.
The latest Honolulu papers glvo further
reports of the great lava flows , which were
continuing In unabated activity. Several
now craters have appeared near the summit ,
which Is about 14,000 feet above sea level.
Stupendous , flre fountains throw huge
masses of rock and molten lava hundreds of
feet Into the air. Secretary Logan Is vividly
reminded of volcanic eruptions he had seen
on the Island of Hawaii by the fireworks at
the battle of Manila. These at their height
did not exceed In brilliancy , coloring or
fierceness of ebullition some of the volcanic
displays seen by him within the craters of
Kllauea and Mokuaweoweo.

Considerable rivalry has sprung up be
tween concessionaires on the Bluff tract and
those on that part of North Midway run
ning to the old Transportation building over
the location of the Indian1 camp. These on
the Bluff tract have petitioned the Board of
Directors to locate the camp on that part of
the grounds , to which the other side is pro
testing. Proprietors ot concessions on the
North Midway claim they accepted locations
on that part ot the ground with the under
standing that the Indians were to be camped
near where they were last year , and say the
camp will be about the only attraction on
that part of the grounds. One concession
aire , who expects to open for business Au
gust 15 , says too will not finish the work he
has started unless the Indians are located
near the old camp.

The Olympla that has been located In the

Work upon the hulk will be completed In

Yesterday the Indians went out on the race
track for tbo purpose of indulging in a dance
and stripped down to the- buff for this pur

and starting sweat from every pore , they

THEY WANT A NEW VIADUCT
Southwest Improvement Olnb Passes Resolu

WOULD CLOSE SEVENTEENTH STREET
City Council In Aftkcd to Accede to
DIP Wlalien of the llnllrnnit * nnd
Ulitnln n IlrlilKP on Twenty-
1'ourth Street.
The Southwest Improvement club had a
meeting last night that was wen attended
and full of Interest. Invitations had been
sent out to different counctlmcn , stating that
there was going to bo a "hot time , " and
the Intimation In the Invitation was not be
lled. The matter of a viaduct for Twenty-
fourth street was the subject under consid
eration and It was discussed thoroughly. The
following resolution was read by the secre
tary and discussed at length ;
Whereas , The Union Pacific Itnllroad com
pany and Burlington & Missouri Hlvcr Kail-
road company did submit to the city council
ot the city of Omaha certain propositions
for the construction and mclntenance of ccr.
tain viaducts nnd subways , and for the clos
ing of certain streets ; and ,
Whereas , Said propositions were consid
ered by said city council of the city of
Omaha and , after discussion , modifications
thereof were made and concessions granted
by said railroad companies and certain
things asked by Bald railroad companies
eliminated from said propositions ; and ,
Whereas , The result of said compromise
and negotiations Is embodied In a certain
agreement which was submitted by said city
council to said railroad companies ; and ,
Whereas , Said city council thereafter elim
inated from said agreement thus submitted
the ptovlslon therein with reference to the
closing of Seventeenth street ; and ,
Whereas , Said railroad companies have de
clined to enter Into said agreement with
the provision with reference to the closing
of Seventeenth street eliminated therefrom ;
and ,
Whereas , The concessions embo-lled : n the
agreement submitted by said city of Omaha
were to bo complied with by said railroad
companies upon the entering into said agree
ment In all its phases ; anil ,
Whereas , It said agreement is tot cntcied
into long delays wltl be encountered relative
to the constructlcn of the Sixteenth rml
Twenty-fourth street viaducts ; and ,
Whereas , The city attorney bus written a
communication to said city council and lias
advised said council that It should not allow
the controversy with reference to the clos
ing of Seventeenth street to st.md in the
way of the completion of these negotiations ;
and ,
Whereas , It Is to the best interests ot the
city of Omaha that said agreement be en
tered into ; and ,
Whereas , By the aid of Bald ralTread com
panies , without expense to the city of
Omaha , a thirty-foot public roadway will be
made from the western end of the premises
of Paxton & Vlerllng to Nineteenth street ,
and from Nineteenth street to U'llltam
street , and from William street to Twen
tieth street , thus giving an outlet to Paxton -
ton & Vlerllng to Twentieth street ; rud ,
Whereas , Said railroad companies propose
before said Seventeenth street shall be
closed and vacated , that they win glvo en
outlet by viaduct and public way from Sev
enteenth street to Sixteenth street and in
addition thereto pay any proper and just
damages which Paxton & Vlerllng , as well
as other property owners , may sustain by
reason of the vacation of said Seventeenth
street ; now , therefore , be it
RcsolVed , by the Southwestern Improve
ment club , That It is the sense of this club ,
ascertained and determined at this meeting ,
that the propositions as submitted and modi
fied as herein set forth are Just and fair ,
and that all property owners will be fairly ,
regally and justly dealt'with ' ; that unless this
arrangement is 'entered Into as ret forth
herein"great injustice a id'irreparable ' injury
will result to the many/citizens and prop
erty owners in the city't Omaha ; that the >
probable delay in securing viaducts at Six
teenth and Twenty-fourth streets , unless
said arrangements go through , will result
disastrously to the citizens and property
owners of the city of Omaha , and that we ,
therefore , earnestly request the city council
of the city of Omaha to accept saM prop
ositions and enter into said arrangements
at once , and that after the execution of
said agreement with said railroad compan
ies that said ralfroad companies be directed
forthwith to construct the viaducts and sub
ways in accordance with said agreement.
City 'Attorney Connell was present and he
stated the case to the members of the club.
He thought the proposition as laid down by
the railroads was a just ana equitable ono
and he was In favor of the resolution. He
thought a viaduct would bo completed within
a year from next January , if the proposition
were accepted. Mr. Morearlty spoke on the
subject following , but did not see much in
the resolution to commend. Councilman Lo-
beck was for the resolution. Councllmen
Mount and Stuht also were in favor of it
and made vigorous speeches for it. President
Green also advocated the proposition.
Several of the south side citizens thought
the street should be opened whether or no.
They were Inconvenienced nnd there was a
dangerous place there. After long speeches
by several of the members of the club and
numerous questions and answers the resolu
tions were unanimously passed. A vote was
passed thanking Mr. Payton for a box of
cigars donated to the club and one was
passed thanking the city attorney and the
members of the council who had been pres
ent and made speeches.
HIGH LIFE IN A GREAT CITY
Man ( rom Sidney Seen a Hot Cock
Fljflit In O in nil a mid LOSCB
HI * Holl.
When Albert Monroe returns to his rural
homo near Sidney he will have a repertoire
of tales of high life in the city to tell ex
citing enough to- win him the local Mun-
uhausen for days to come.
The police found Monroe asleep on the
sidewalk near Capitol avenue and Eleventh
street. It was after midnight. He was well
dressed , but without mcney , so the officers
gave him n lodging in the city jail. Monroe
says ho Is a hotel man and had come to sea
the sights of the city. He was present at
a cock fight , ho related , that beat anything
over pulled oft in the neck of the woods he
halls from.
At the place ho lodged there was a man
who volunteered to pilot him to a sporting
event where ho could get his money's worth
of genuine entertainment providing ho bad
the price. The event was "on the quiet , "
consequently admittance was high , but Mon
roe decided to attend.
The countryman's new friend , "Johnnie , "
as ho was called by his companions , intro
duced him to a group of "dead game
sports , " .with . upturned coat collars , slouch
hats and noisy shirt bosoms , The party
then took a car ride.
At the end of the line they ( lied out. one
at a time down a narrow path over some
railroad tracks , and made for the side door
of a ealoon. After careful scrutiny and
cross-examination by sentries they were ad
mitted. An air of eccrcsy pervaded the
place. The minds of Monroe's companions
ran on matters that were expressed in sym
bols occult to htm and there was an ice
box againfit the wall that was even more
of a mystery then the conversation.
A man stood guard over it , grim and keen-
eyed as the picket at St. Peter's gate. From
time to time he would be approached by new
arrivals. Words spoken in subdued tcrics
and bewildering signs would pass 'between '
them. The door of the Ice 'box ' would open
and the new arrivals would be swallowed
up.
up.The
The structure that masqueraded as an
Ice box was a peculiar contrivance , fifty
men vanished through ite door while the
countryman stood watching it In wonder.
I was a ware and delusion. The men -who
entered mounted a flight of stairs when the
door closed behind them and stepped forth
Into the light of a large apartment In the
center of which was a circular pit walled in j
by a belt of canvas. Around the canvas.
tnclcsuro were scats In tiers and a huge

ulation of the reasons which have led
civilization to place rooster fighting among
the sports proscribed.
"Dcwcy" was a local fowl , favored In the
betting because ot his superior record , su
perior residence nnd the superior magnetism
of hlfl name. But these illustrious ad
vantages did not avail against "Blatico's"
ferocity and the tenacity ot his drives and
"Dewey" went down to death and defeat ,
carrying all Monroe's .money.
When the crowd settled bets and quietly
dispersed .Monroe withdrew minus his roll.
Ho walked back to town along dusty roads
with electric lights In the distance for

HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
"I nm very much pleased with the exposi
tion , " was the remark made yesterday
sy T. D. McKay , a guest of the Mlllard and
general passenger agent for the Union
Pacific railway and the Pacific Mall and
other steamship companies at Yokohama ,
Japan. " 1 strung pictures of the exposi
tion all over Japan nnd advertised it very
extensively. I went out last night to view
the big show and wan delighted with It. "
Mr. McKay is a much-traveled man and
has seen all quarters of the globe. Ho
started on this trip In June and .will pass
through the United States , combining busi
ness with pleasure.
Mr. McKay Is an expansionist , ho believ
ing that the retention of the Philippine
Islands would be a good thing commercially
for thin country. He stated that the late
war had been a great thing for Hong Kong ,
as it had brought in a great deal of money
to that port.
"All the European countries have their
eyes on the Philippine Islands. They are
looking towards shipping goods thcro and
are anxious to establish trade with the
Islands , " said Mr. McKay. "The war has
called attention to the commerce of that
part of the world. "
Mr. McKay soya that Japan Is reaching
out after American ways In every direction.
They are great at Imitating and they copy
everything American they can find. Ono
of the principal manufacturing cities of the
Island is Osaka , which is called "the city
of chimneys , " and Is a counterpart of Pitts-
burg , In this country.
Mr. McKay states that American machin
ery Is what Is called for most In that part
of the world , especially locomotives and rail
way material. He has been located In
Japan for five years and Is much taken
with the country. The people are very
social and their enterprise is such that It
makes an American feel more at home
than he would otherwise.
Mr. McKay will remain In the city for a
few days , calling upon prominent railway
officials. Ho will then go eastward.
Corporal George Bailey , formerly with
Company L , First Nebraska , is In town. He
left the Philippine Islands June 18 , after
having been discharged at the expiration of
his service. Corporal Bailey served in the
Cuban campaign and was in all the famous
battles there , later going to try his fortunes
at Manila. During all his fighting he es
caped without so much as a scratch or a
wound. Hevls at present wearing a 'floe
healthy tan that he accumulated during his
sojourn In the Islands. He is not agree
ably impressed with < he country , feeling
that it is a little too warm there for people
reared In the temperate zone.
