( Hee apodal program ot the swimming
end diving contests , )
The crowd was not largo at the exposi
tion Monday , In fact the grounds were well-
nigh deserted in the afternoon. Nothing
specially attractive had been put on the
program to call the people out , and those
who were there heard the music and saw
the usual sights and came home. The
grounds are looking more beautiful every
day , ns the flower beds are beginning to
bloom in their richest colors and th'e fol-
lago Is beginning to take on Its summer
heaviness. In the evening there wore more
visitors present to enjoy the cool breezes
over the lagoon , the music , and the clectrlo
fountain , which Is proving more and more
of an attraction all the time.
The concert in the auditorium by
Bcllstcdt's band was not well attended.
The program was not a heavy one , but such
a one ao would be enjoyed by visitors who
were out to spend an hour or so In recrea
tion. One of Sousa'B marches , stirring and
popular , was the first number , followed by
"Little Chatterbox , " a characteristic piece.
Rossini's overture to the "Siege o Cor
inth" was an enjoyable number , and the
piccolo solo proved to be of more than or
dinary interest. The Instrument Is not
heard often In solo , and when It is there Is
a. novelty about It that attracts.
A pretty and popular thing was the string
of gems from Audran's opera "The Mascot. '
This opera Is being sung this week at the
Trocadero and those who have heard the
opera there wore delighted to hear the
mualc amplified and augmented by the many
'instruments of the band.
Ono of the humoresque things that are
being given by Mr. Bellstedt was the
"Parlor Scene 11 a. m. " This made quite n
'
hit with the audience , as It contains many
queer little stralna ot music and comes as
near being humorous as music can.
The program closed with the ever favor
ite "Invitation to the Danco" by Weber.
This beautiful descrltvo selection is the
best heard with strings. The band seems
to got the string effects out of the brass
and wood of the louder and harsher instru
ments. The piece depicts a young man
coming to Invite a lady to the waltz. A
dialogue between the two , with an inter
mittent strain of the coming waltz now and
then , Introduces the piece , at last the
muslo starts up and the couple glides out
.over the floor to the most seductive llttlo
waltz Imaginable.
A Wagnerlan number etood out promi
nently in the evening program. This was
the Vorspoll from "Do Melsterslnger. " and
It was given with fine effect. The Wag.
nerlan numbers given by Mr. Bellstedt are
especially effective , as bo has the full Instru
mentation that Is needed , to exemplify
the mualc of the great German music-
drama builder. By request , In the evening ,
the overture to "Mlgnon , " 'by ' Thomas , wan
played , and a novelty was Introduced next
to the last number .in the fanfare with
with four Roman trumpets. The concert
came to a close with a medley of well known
airs , concluding with a humorous little bit
called a rl'do ' on the Chicago , Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway.
FOR ARTISTS AND AMATEURS.

Director Key has been putting some Una ]
touches In the art building which huvo
added much to the appearance of the dif
ferent rooms. A llttlo effective drapery of
a dull maroon color has been placed above

pictures which adds materially to their ap
pearance. The pictures In a gallery are not
EO numerous as In No , 1 , but there are
several ( hero that will bear close Inspec

althfully produces the thrilling scene of the
Spanish-American war. True to nature
stands the great Moro rock and caatle

with the wonderful Hawaiian village on the

MAY I.ENRTIIEN TJII2 ENGAGEMENT.
IlcIlNiodt'n Ilnml Likely to Itcmnln
Some Time Ycl.
The popularity ot Bellstedt's band has
been brought forcibly to the mind of the
exposition management that they might
as well hang onto a good thing while they
lave It lierc , and from all Indications the
organization may be held here for two
weeks or a month over the regular con
tract time , which was for four weeks. The
steadily growing enthusiasm of music lovers
ias made itself felt at headquarters , and
those who have the matter under their su-
jorvlslou feel that it is better to keep a
band that la popular and well known , than
to fly oft to some organization as yet un
known and untried. The matter will ba
settled definitely In a day or so.
Children' * Dny AVcdiir iln > - .
An attractive program Is being arranged
for children's day tomorrow at the
exposition. Arrangements arc nearly per
fected for o children's water carnival , in
which several of the professional swimmers
will participate. The program will be under
the supervision of Captain Blllle Johnson ,
manager of the hlgh-dlvlng show and cham
pion American swimmer. Mrs. Johnson will
also assist and probably Miss Cora Deck-
wlth , the champion lady swimmer of the
world. Captain Sorcho , the deep oea diver ,
will go down In his diving apparatus and
remain under water for an hour. Some ot
the crack swimmers of the Filipino Village
will also engage in the professional contests.
There will be races for boys under fifteen
years , boys between fifteen and thirty , boys
between thirty and fifty , and boys between
fifty and a hundred. Several entries have
already been made In the latter class. There
will bo a ewlmmlng race for girls of all
ages and a divine contest for boys of all
ages , with tub races and other amusing
features. The contests will occur on the
Lagoon at 4:30 : p. m. , and all children under
fifteen years will bo admitted free on that
day.

There are epochs In the progrew of In
stitutions and events that mark their passIng -
Ing ns dcstlnctlvo tie the seven ngcs and
the transition periods In the liven of men.
The opening sale of the I'eople's store Mon
day was the event that marked the evolu
tion of an establishment from a largo store
to a mammoth department house. It was
a housowarmlng on a gigantic scale and the
crowds of people that thronged the. floors
from basement to dome was proof of the
chopping public's appreciation of a store that
keeps pace with thetimes. .
The sale was a format opening and the first
opportunity shoppers have had to Inspect
the many departments since the Innovations
and changes recently Inaugurated. A small
army of clerks and floorwalkers was at hand
to pilot the visitant around and in various
parts of the building bands of music and
string orchestras pfayed programs of popular
airsThe
The order and arrangement of the many
departments showed signs of the mtuster
hand of a capable manager. Not a slnglo
detail was disregarded In caring for the con
venience of customers. There Is no restric
tion In the operation of a largo staff of
clerks , and the departments are grouped In a
way that enables purchasers to flnd what
they want at the minimum expense of tlmo.
The management of the establishment has
been Intrusted to O. Jamleson , recently of
Hayden Bros. , where ho held a similar posi
tion for fourteen years. Having served in
the capacity of buyer for sixteen years with
the firm of C. W. & E. Partridge of Chicago ,
Mr. Jamleson's experience there and In this
city has given him the necessary qualifica
tions to assume the duties he will have to
perform In the now position. Mr. Jamlcson
has a large circle of acquaintances among
the shopping public and he received due
share of the congratulations on the success
of the establishment.
Important Ohnnireti.
There have been a number of Important
changes In the arrangement of the store.
The furniture department formerly on the
main or first floor bos been removed to the

On the corset counters there are models
of the swellest styles of Paris , the Royal
Worcester make , the firm being the sole
Omaha agents for this manufacture. There
are fancy silks In the lattice design on
the cover irork and many of the models
have been already sold to purchasers who
were unwilling to wait for the filling of
orders.
The basement Is filled with crockery ,
china and lamps. There are 'priceless din
ner sets of 'Havlland make and sets of the
white stone hlnn. Lamps of myriad de
signs and prices , with every variety of bur

because of Its beauty and comfort. Men's
footwear Includes all the fashionable lasts
and toes and fastenings.
The grocery , smoked meat and tobacco
departments are adjoining and by men well

to tie the most completely stocked of any
in the middle west. It Is a mammoth pure
food exhibit.
On the second floor are the ladles' hat
and cloak departments , the former being
In tbo Farnam street wing of the building.
A large corps of competent trimmers make
alterations' or trim hats to suit the pur
chaser. There are the latest novelties In
golf hats , chic styles In Persian patterns
and "rough rider" hats which have become
so popular 4n the days of the returning vol

kind Is that of the Knox hats.
, In the opposite wing Is the cloak depart
ment where a complete assortment of skirts
In silks and satins of the latest fashion
are > displayed on the hangers. There are

capes , and an immense stock of sealskins ,
Persian lambs , Astrachans In cloaks and
countless designs In novelty collarettes.

ing put in overlooking the street. There
will be writing desks and supplies of sta
tionary for tbo use of ladles who may have
occasion to write letters while shopping.
Dalduff's ice cream and fancy summer

Other Features.
A part of the floor above has 'been fitted
out for the olflces of the members of the
firm and the cashier's corps of assistants.
The adjoining wing la filled with furniture ,
several large shipments having been re

display. The consignments Include band-
some bedroom sets In mahogany , cherry
and oak , as well as Iron and brass beds In
all sorts of styles and designs. The picture -
turo department Is on this floor and com
prises an endless variety of etchings , fac
similes of paintings and engravings.
A complete stock of trunks and traveling
paraphernalia occupies most of the space of
the uppermost floor , The rest Is used as a
branch of the furniture department where
invalid chairs , rockers , and upholstered
chairs and lounges are etosked without
number. The fifth floor Is the carpet and
curtain department , and It Is there that the
Oriental rugs , mattings , carpets and law
curtains are displayed.
When the alterations and additions to the
store were made a few weeks ago the en
tire clock was Invoiced and much of It was
sold that room might bo had for newer
goods. As a department house the store Is
now one of the most complete In the west.
Dent Out of mi Inoreime In III * I'rnulnu
A Mexican war veteran and prominent
editor writes , "Seeing the advertisement of
Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea
Jlemedy I am reminded that as a toldler in
Mexico in ' 17 and " 48 I contracted Mexican
diarrhoea and this remedy has kept me from
getting an Increase in my pension , for on
every renewal a dose of It restores me. ' It
Is unequalled as a quick euro for diarrhoea
and is pleasant and safe to take.
Ilnvi- Cut Their Own " \Venl .
The people of the south part of town
and in the immediate vicinity of the Mason
school have combined to cut a few weeds
for themselves without waiting for the city's
help. The words in that part of the city
had become ns much of n nnlsanca as
anywhere and the residents thereabouts do-
elded that It was no longer to be tolerated.
The council some time ago adopted n reso
lution requesting the Flrp and Police com
mission to organize the city prisoners Into
gangs and have them cut the weeds , but ns
yet nothing of the kind has been dona.
Those who have had occasion to use labor
of this kind say that It Is unsatisfactory ,
that the men , will not work , and that they
break more tools than the results nru
worth.
ENSOR ASKED0 RESIGN

( Continued from First Page. )
Moore of the Painters' union of the Trades
council urged that no contracts In the line
of painting or decorating bo awarded to anyone
ono not carrying a card of the Trades coun
cil. In 'behalf ' of the local union of the
Federation of Labor W. C. Schmidt stated
that such a request was unfair ami that the
organization ho represented was tlio only ono
entitled to recognition. After listening pa
tiently to the statements made the board
proceeded to award contracts regardless of
cither organization.

Cnttlr ItrcclptH IitcrcnultiR.
Yesterday's cattle receipts were the larg
est of the year , numbering 7,558 head. Nearly
90 per cent of these were from the west
ern ranges. From this tltno on It Is ex
pected that shipments will be lively from ,
along the lines of the Union Pacific , Bur
lington and Klkhorn roads. Of a total of
36S cars > the Burlington delivered to this
market 139 c.ins , the Elkhorn 141 cars , and
the Union Pacific 67 cars. Those who are
posted on live stock conditions assert that
the cattle receipts at this market for the
year will exceed those of last year. Whllo
there iswithout doubt a shortage of cattle
on the ranges the abolition of the feeding in
transit rate will tend , so It Is stated , toward
bringing more cattle to this market than
heretofore. The ranges still remain In good
condition , and the condition ot live stock is
away above the average.

Accident nt Arinour'H riant.
Albert Wlchert , of Omaha , a laborer em
ployed at Armour's , missed his footing last
evening and fell clown an elevator shaft ,
Inflicting Injuries which may result fatally ,
itwas stated that Wlchert fell seven stories
and the only thing that saved him from
Instant death was the fact that two feet
of water stood at 'the ' bottom of the shaft
and this. In a measure , broke his fall. As It
is Wlchert is suffering from concussion of
the brain , several severe bruises and a
shock. Dr. C. M. Schlndel was called and
after reviving the patient , had him taken
to an Omaha hospital. The doctor says
there Is some chance for Wichert's recovery.
WnnhoiitM on the Street * .
Several complaints have been made to
the city officials about the caving In of portions
tions of streets over water mains. This dif
ficulty Is experienced particularly on Twen
ty-seventh street where the big thirty-inch
main from Florence enters the city. These
holes have been allowed to remain for days ,
BO It Is stated , thus'laying the city liable
for damages In case of accidents. It is as
serted that the water company will be re-
queeited to pay strict attention to cavelns
from this time on In order to prevent acci
dents and keep the roads In as good con
dition as possible.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 21. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Adjutant General Corbln cabled
General Brooke today the substance of nn
order recalling four companies of the Tenth
Infantry from Cuba and sending them to
Fort Crook , Neb. What companies General
Brooke will eclcct for transportation to the
United States IB problematical , the officials
nt the War department contenting them
selves with the assertion that It will bo the
battalion having seen the most service in
Matnnras or Cardenas.
Company D ot the Seventh Infantry , now
nt Fort Crook , will in nil probability re
main nt that post for some tlmo , although It
Is on the cards to send the Seventh Infan
try to the Philippine * some tlmo during the
fall. As expressed by Major HeUtand of the
adjutant general's olnco :
"Wo need trooj < s for garrison purposes ,
which accounts for the > wide distribution of
the Seventh regiment throughout the coun
try. Company A Is nt Walker , Minn. ; B nt
Fort McPherson , On , ; C nt Plattsburg , Bar
racks , New York ; D at Fort Crook , Neb. ;
E RUd F at Fort Gibbon , Alaska ; Ont Fort
Thomas , Ky. ; II at Fort Wayno. Mich. , the
headquarters of the regiment ; I nt Madison
Barracks , Now York ; K. nt Fort Porter , N.
Y. ; L at Fort Egbert , Alaska , and M. at
Fort Brady , Mich. Four garrl&ons need
moro troops , but under existing conditions
It Is Impossible to supply them , although the
War department Is doing everything to In
sure absolute protection nt homo ns well as
abroad. "
Following un the decision of the War de
partment to Inaugurate an English service
sd far ns tbo disposition wf our military
forces uro concerned , to keep ono battalion
of every regiment at homo as reserve guard
and for recruiting service , It Is learned that
nn absolutely new scheme Is to bo tried
which it Is believed will simplify the work
of the War department to a remarkable de
gree. It has been determined to classify
battalions of regiments , both regular and
volunteer , as first , second and third , putting
Into first companies A , B , C and D , Into
second E F , G and H. and Into third I K ,
L and M. By this arrangement a vant sav
ing In telegraph and cable tolls , It Is con
fidently predicted , will bo accomplished nnd
will assist the officials materially In making
up intelligent reports while engaged in ac
tive service.
Instead of sending ns now names of com
panies , officials will send number of batI
tallons engaged and Instantly tlio War de
partment officials will know the names of
the companies by reason ot the divisions
above. This departure is taken at this tlmo
so that by November , when active cam
paigning in the Philippines Is resumed , all
commanding officers will be familiar with
this change , which ils expected to revolu
tionize the methods now in vogue.
S. P. Mobley , editor of the Grand Island
Republican , has been appointed to a posi
tion "in the inspector of customs' office In
the Philippines at $1,800 per year and has
been ordered to report to General Otis at
Manila. Ho may bo assigned to service
either at Cebu , Hello or Manila or may
oven bo sent into the field. Ho is expected
to leave Immediately for his new post.
