The attendance at the exposition Is crowIng -
Ing with each day and the visitors from out
of town arc far more numerous than they
mere.- The hotels of the city are fast filling
up and the Indications are that pcoplo com
ing Omabaward > wlll "be more and more
numerous as the days go by. Yesterday the
attendance -was very fair. A contingent from
out of town livened things up conslder-
nltriy , and the ( band concert and races In the
nfternoon and the flroworks , the electric
fountain nnd the Battle of Manila In the
evening drew a goodly number out to the
grounds.
The Missouri Press association , with flfty-
two members , arrived at the grounds for a
nhort stay. The delegation Is on Us way to
St. Paul and stopped over to see the White
City. A luncheon was given at the Philip
pine cafe for the visitors , which proved to bo
a very enjoyable affair. President Miller
welcomed the visitors In n few well chosen
> words and there could 'bo ' no doubt of a
hearty welcome after ho had made his talk.
Thomas L. Cannon of St. Louis made a very
neat response , In which ho paid a high com
pliment to the exposition. Ho thought it
was a remarkable affair and had many great
nnd good attractions. Ho thanked the
management for its courtesy , nnd was fol
lowed by several others who spoke in the
name strain. The party left the ground
about 4 o'clock In the afternoon to resume
Its Journey northward.

'An old master has said , and well said , that
ono of the greatest charms of music Is bril
liancy. ( No form of music Is more brilliant
than that of a "harmonic band , " as the Ger
mans call It , or what Is known In English
as the "reed band. " The whole array of
brass Instruments from the deepest toned
trombones1 and tubas up through the line of
French horns nnd the whole list of vnlved
"horns " to the highest cornet constitutes the
body , or tnaln volume , of such a band , while
the mellow voices of the clarionets , the
plaintive ob'oe , the sweet flute and the merry
piccolo with the Jar and Jingle of the
drums and cymbals make up a rich variety.
Such a band in its full completeness , many-
sided and perfect , Is the Bellstedt band , now
drawing splendid audiences and winning
golden laurels for itself as well as bringing
shekels Into the treasury of the management
of the exposition. Like the renowned
Thomas orchestra In the string world , this
band , in its province , consists of artists and
contains nothing but the best of material.
Each man Is a master of his Instrument ,
nnd the combined effect Is a marvel of puri
ty , precision and Intelligent conception.
Notwithstanding the day was warm and
| fhe- general attendance not great , the Au-
dftorliim concert Thursday afterrtoon was
another charming success , a very fine audi
ence being delighted with the music , as the
delicate and earnest applause at the close
of each selection abundantly evidenced.
The program was a mixed one , consisting
of tho.classic and the popular , and It was
hard to' tell which best pleased , the applause
greeting each number , nnd as usual it was
impossible to respond to each encore and get
through the bill for the afternoon. Bell-
etcdt's only relief will be to maUo his pro
grams shorter , thus giving his admirers the
benefit of tbe encore. Seven or eight selec
tions were called for yesterday , some of
which were given , nnd all of which will be
given from time to tlmo as occasion per
mits. The leader strives to please , feeling
that he la here to assist the people to enjoy
themselves as welas to cducater them , at
the same tlmo elevating the standard of mu
sic and holding aloft the banner of art. The
cornet solo , as usual , was enthusiastically
received , the audience showing Its appre
ciation at the appearance of Mr. Bellstedt
with his magical Instrument.
The audience at night , like the three pre
vious ones of the week , was very large , the
. . band stand being surrounded with people
and all enthusiastic and appreciative. It
must bo encouraging to the management , the
musical director and the band to have not
only largo .crowds but such delightfully en
thusiastic auditors. To say that the band
Is growing In popular favor would be but
mildly expressslng tbe truth , which Is pat
ent to every observer.

What the Fnnioun Street IIn to
Interest HlitliUeem.
The Philippine village Is font ncarlng com
pletion in all Its ramifications. A large
native hut , with many compartments , is
Just about completed. The thatch of this
structure was brought from the famous
Islands and the furniture and furnishings
were also imported. The Filipinos moved
Into their new quarters Thursday , and are
thoroubly at home. A native room Is being
arranged with the peculiar furniture of the
Island and six -women , a man nnd some
children are to Hvo In It. It will be ar
ranged so that people may pass through the
apartment and observe the styles that obtain
in Manila. One of the odd sights of the
village Is ( hat of the water buffaloes being
used as beasts of burden , hitched to two-
wlieelcd carts.
The Kanaka swimmers at the Hawaiian
village continue to attract the most Intense
interest. They seem to be ns nearly akin to
fish as It Is possible for a human being to
be and are as much at homo In water as out
of It. One of the most wonderful tricks
they accomplish Is that of diving to the
bottom of the tank for coins. These they
bring up In their teeth nnd some of the
more expert bring the sliver discs up In
their oyea like monocles In the eyes of dudes.
The Old Plantation Is ono of the Interest
ing sights en the Midway , with Its strictly
Afro-American show. There the lovers of
jubilee singing and of tbe Jolly twang of the
banjo find a fount of good things to their
liking , The fact that a great deal of fun is
Interjected Into the performance does not In
the least detract from the drawing powers
of the enow.
These cool days , with the breeze blowing
cross the Midway , the Schlltz Pavilion is

Something like 000 canvases have been

The collection of pictures Is a credit not
only to the exposition and the state , but to

Twelve halls have been filled with some of

of the beat American artists have pictures
there.
As a whole , the collection Is moot superior.
There are a few pictures of extreme excel

to Interest art lovers as well as those who
want to see a story In everything.
For the last few days visitors at the gal

painted originally to be hung In the electric

colored and the walls of the buildings were
made qulto yellow. Mr. Key Is now going
over them and subduing the lights to fit

The sun poured down rather holly on the
grand stand at the race tracks Thursday ,
yet , notwithstanding , there .was a good at
tendance to < wltness the races and the Omaha
dance. The whole procram was elvcn over
to Indians , the races belne on ponies , and
the Indian band furnished the music.
The races were exciting and the Indians
seemed to take as creat delight In them as
the whlto people. HardtoHItwon flrst

Thomas American Horse came out ahead In
the last race , with Joseph Standing Dear
second and Plenty Wound third.
The dance that followed was ono to fill a
person with dread as the savages were
decked out In unlimited war paint , feathers
and other accoutrements that are supposed
to he necessary at such a function. The
braves wcro stripped and were painted In
grotesque patterns. Their wlerd chants and
peculiar gestures were of much Interest to
these who arc unfamiliar with the Indian

President Millar received word Thursday
from Inncs , the bandmaster , at Atlantic City.
Negotiations have .been . going on between
the management of the exposition and Mr.
Innes for some time , 'but ' all hopes of get
ting the favorite band here were puffed out
yesterday. The letter received states the
terms for which he will come , and no sooner
were they made known to the executive
committee'than It .was decided that It would
bo out of all question to try to get the band
here. The terms demanded are prohibitory ,
and Dr. 'Miller and the members of the ex
ecutive committee state that the band will
not 'bo ' here. Dr. ' .Miller and Mr. Her had
an Interview with Inncs when they were In.
New York and at that .time It was thought
that an engagement might bo made for the
very last of the big show , but It now seems
thai the plan Is not feasible. There has
been a great deal of talk concerning the
band this year and President Miller stated
that he would like the public to kno-w defi
nitely that the engagement would not be
forthcoming.
.AMUSEMENTS.
. . . .
That ancient but always popular comedy-
drama , "East Lynne , " was the bi-weekly of
fering presented Thursday night at Boyd's
theater by the Woodward Stock company
and It proved to bo another of those produc
tions which have been the means of so
happily endearing this capable company to
the hearts of local theater-goers. The
iplay "East1 Lynne" Is ono of tbe oldest In the
category and nearly everybody Is more or
leas familiar with tbe story. It is hard ,
however , to find words of praise sufficient to
express the enthusiasm of the fair-sized
audience that witnessed this painstaking
production last night. Miss Kennark
enacted the dual rolea of Lady Isabcllc and
Madame Vine so capably that to eee her one
would think she had had months of careful
study and consideration to give them
rather than only the few days that she did.
Mr. Granger gave a splendid performance
of Archibald Carlyle , as did likewise Mr.
Enos of the part of Lord Mount Severn.
Miss Berkeley presented in the part of MUs
Carlyle , the meddlesome old sister-in-law ,
another of these interesting character
studies that have made her so popular with
Omaha theater-goers. Walter Greene. Harry
Beresford , Charles Lothian and Emma Dunn
were each well cast , and all handled their
parto In a manner deserving of individual
praise , which , unfortunately , lack of space
precludes their being given. Next week "Tho
Musketeers , " one of Dumas' most popular
plays , -will be the offering.

; ; SOUTH OMAHA NEWS , j
Yesterday the force In the city treasurer's
offlce commenced the work of preparing tha
delinquent tax list , Thts record must bo In
the bonds of the county treasurer by Sep
tember IB , and the property so listed will be
advertised for the flrst week In October.
On the flrst Monday In November the prop
erty contained In this list will be offered for
sale at public auction , after which time
said property can be purchased at private
sale.
In looking over the records It Is found that
taxca on certain pieces of property In this
city arc delinquent since 1889 , the year when
the first record won made. Some Instances
arts noted where the property will not sell
for as much now as the taxes amount to.
In this connection It Is stated that the city
council will soon have to take some action
toward clearing tip the record on the tax
books and either buy up the property at the
tax sale or else secure possession In some
other way In order to resist In paying the
outstanding Indebtedness against the dis
tricts In which the land In question Is
situated.
As an Illustration , the block between L
and M streets and Twenty-second and Twen
ty-third streets has a debt which could not
be wiped out even If the land should bo sold.
Some years ago the alloy In this block was
filled at a cost of over $10,000 , at ono or two
places a fill of plghty-llvo feet being neces
sary. The original tax for this grading
was $ G27 for a full lot , and with Interest
added now amounts to about $1.000 , which
Is several hundred dollars more than the
property Is worth today.
For Instance , lot 2. In block 120 , fans n
grading tax amounting to $9D7 assessed
against It. Thin year and for a. number of
years previous the assessors have listed this
lot at $25 , which would make Us value $125.
Lot 3 , In the same block , Is taxed the
eamo amount as lot 2 for grading , but Is
assessed at $10 , making the value $50.
An unusual effort has been made of late
by Treasurer Broadwell to collect nil of the
back taxes possible and hundreds of notices
have been Bent out. This work Is bearing
fruit , as returns are being made every day.
Many are paying up back personal taxes
which clears the record.
It Is estimated that at least $120,000 In
general taxes remain unpaid. This is with
out interest. To this must bo added at
least $200,000 for delinquent district and per
sonal taxes , -which make $320,000 duo the
city. This latter amount IB only slightly in
excess of the general bonded Indebtedness
of the city , which Is $307,000. Should the
courts finally declare that the Twenty-fourth
street paving tax was illegally assessed the
burden of the city at largo will be Increased
at least $50,000. . In addition to the $307,000
of general bonds'there is at the present time
outstanding $210,000 in district bonds. In
some instances the property in the district
cannot pay the tax and this will eventually
have to bo assumed by the city at large.
Elinor' * Ticket 1 'Elected. '
Democratic primaries to select sixteen
delegates to the county convention wcro
held here yesterday and considerable more
than the usual amount of Interest was taken
in the outcome. Two tickets were In the
field and In each ward hard work was done
by both factions. In two or three instances
the enthusiasm ran so high that blows were
struck , but no damage to amount to any
thing woo done. Police officers were sta
tioned at each of the four voting places and
preserved order.
The so-called Ensor ticket was elected In
each ward and the delegates to the conven
tion are :
First ward : John P. Gallagher , James H.
Dulla , Al Hunter , Dan Montague.
Second ward : Rhodie Redmond , Dave
Allle , Joseph Ferdy , Frank Crawford. ,

Repairing ; Axphalt I'nvement.
The repairs to the pavement on Twenty-
fourth etreet are progressing rapidly and
the street will soon be In first-class condi
tion. Cuts In the pavement made by the
gas company are being repaired at the same
time and only the best of material Is being
used. Five or six Inches of slag Is first
laid as a base and on top of this three inches
of Louisville cement Is placed and then
comes two Inches of asphalt. In this way It
Is expected to fill the boles so that there
will be no wearing out 'for some time to
come. City Eaglncer Deal Is superintend
ing the work and carefully measures the
surface repaired , as the city Is paying for
the work at the rate of $2 per yard. The
gas company , of course , ipays for Its own
repairs , 'but ' at the same rate.

ILL-FORTUNE JHJRSUED THEM
After KnittirliiK Untold llnrilnlilp *
Dimly Diamond < inl < I-ScckltiK
1'iirty Hcttiritfi.
SEATTLE , Wash. , Aug. 17. W. H. Rose-
cnulp of Chicago , who was a member of the
Dusty Diamond party of Chicago , has re
turned .from . Alaska with an Interesting
story concerning the fortunes of that party.
The party was composed of fifty men , mem
bers of the Chicago lire department and man
ufacturers of that city. They sailed from
Seattle In May , 1897 , intending to go to Dawson -
son City. Through III luck they reached St.
( Mlch'acls late and were detained there until
It became too late to make a trip up river.
Then they headed for the Fish river country ,
In the G-olovIn bay district , from which good
reports were coming.
There they have remained over since. Thn
expedition outfit cost nil oven $50,000 , $1,000
being put Into the proposition by every
jnombcr of the party. tAfter sixteen months
of enduring hardships and privations they
have been enabled to draw out $400 to the
man. The party Is now broken up and dis
persed. Thirty-nine of. the men worked
steadily through June and July last , settling
on seine claims owned by the party on Ophlr
creek , a small tributary to the Ncukluk
river in the Golovln bay district. For this
two months' > work they got only $4,000 ,
which was divided pro rata among the fifty
men. Bed-rock they found from eighteen
Inches to four feet below the surface.
There was an immense amount of water In
the creek and a great deal of dam had to bo
built in order to make It possible to sluice
nt all. Throughout the long winter months
the party worked laboriously , cutting lumber
and preparing for the sluice. Winter was
passed without great hardship , owing to the
abundant fuel and the large amount of sup
plies on hand. Finally coming to the con
clusion that the Dusty Diamond expedition
was not to bo a success , the members de
cided to liquidate and wind up the affairs of
the company. They sold the steamer , which
cost them $8.000 , for $1,500 to the Alaska
Exploring company. They sold a lot of their
goods and during the open season made
some money with the steamer. Twelve of
the party returned to Seattle by the Alliance.
Captain Sieger , who headed the expedition
and who was once n captain In the Chicago
fire department , left the country some time
ago with a number of others.
REBELS LACK OR6ANIZTION
Latest Invnnlon of Santo Domingo
Ilciuiltn in DlmtNtcr to
Invader * .
NEW YORK. Aug. 17. A dispatch to the
Herald from Santo Domingo says : Another
Invasion from Haytl was attempted this
morning , Tuesday. The Government forces
met the insurgents near Monte Crlstl and
after lively fighting the invaders were dis
persed and some of them , it is reported ,
were captured.
This 'may end the trouble In that section ,
as the revolutionary movement apparently
lacks organization and is sporadic In Its
nature. The revolutionists so far have car
ried on only a guerrilla warfare and tha
government is therefore not dismayed by the
outbreaks. Reports from ? the interior say
that everything la quiet.
During the celebrations incident to the
national holiday there was n demonstration
this evening in the Plaza Colon , in this city ,
by the younger citizens , against the gov
ernment. Speeches calculated to cxclto the
populace were made and a proclamation
signed by business men and lawyers was
distributed. It demanded that the present
officials retire in favor of new men , but it
disclaimed any intention of accomplishing
the change by force.
Sevural of the leaders were arrested and
the trouble seems now nt an end , but the
Incident shows that discontent exists. The
people generally are hopeful that the civil
troubles will soon be settled.

CHICAGO , Aug. 17. The closing session
of the convention of the National Associa

here today. In contrast to the excitement
of yesterday over the election of officers
peace reigned. Mrs. Elizabeth C. Carter ,
representing 1,000 members of New England ,
was In a mollified frame of mind and It Is
thought that the threat of withdrawal made
by the eastern woman because she held that
her territory had been slighted In the selec
tion of officers -will not bo carried out.
NumerouH resolutions , In line with the
purposes of the association , were adopted.
The death of Colonel Ingersoll , wlio , in his
will , left $1,000 to the John Brown monument

this statement. According to his usual cus
tom , ho asked not to be quoted directly In
the .matter , but ho made it so emphatic In

heard him talk can believe that he could
be Induced to take the nomination for the
vice presidency under any conditions. In

he would probably be nominated , but that
if for any reason Hobart were not re-

CHICAGO , Aug. 17. A delegation of busi

the discriminations practiced against tliclr
city by the roads. They were In confer
ence a large part of the day with executive
officers of the Rock Island , Burlington and
Santa Fe roads. The Kansas City delega
tion contended that through lines discrimi
nate against their markets. The arbitrary
rates vary from 1 cent to 5 cents per 100
pounds , they said , for local shipments and It
Is claimed It is cheaper for the farmers and
shippers from small towns to ship direct to
Chicago and St. Louis than to Kansas City
because of this differential. The railroad
men promised to come to a decision within
a week and to notify the members of the
delegation of their action.
