The Elkhorn Valley editors were nt the
exposition Wednesday and enjoyed the day ,
though the heat was terrific and the duet
and wind made people feel uncomfortable.
At 11 o'clock the editors gathered In tlio
Public Comfort building , where some muolo
was given by Adelmann's band as a prelude
to a short reception. J. R. Buchanan of
the Elkhorn railway made a felicitous speech
of welcome to the pen-pmhera , and was fol
lowed by Dr. Miller , president of the exposi
tion , who welcomed the visitors In a neat
nnd cordial nddrcsi. The response on the
part of the editors was made by L. C. Bargelt
of the Norfolk News. He said he was sur
prised and pleased to find the exposition such
an extensive affair and was delighted with
everything ho had seen. He was of the
opinion that most of the men present were
sorry thnt they had paid so little attention
to the show , now that they had seen It , and
was also of the opinion time most of them
would go home with the Intention of boomIng -
Ing the exposition. A luncheon was given
at the Puritan Kitchen later on that was
thoroughly enjoyed on account of the Informality
mality of thn nlTalr , the editors , their wives
and the officials of the exposition vlelng with
each other to mnko the event ono of much

SCI2M5S ALONG TUB MIDWAY.
Vita nil-liorn Rdltori. Tnkr It In nnd
Arc Iloynlly Treated.
Yesterday quite a number of Klkhorn edi
tors took advantage of the excursion that
came In over that road and after taking In I
the main bull-lings In the afternoon nnd '
the band concert In the evening , they
hooded for tbo Midway , and to any they
had a good tlmo Is putting It mildly , for
everywhere they were given special performances - |
formances , the darkles at the Old Planta- !
lion put their best foot forward nnd gave
them such an exhibition of campmeetlng
shouting , buck and wing dancing and cake
walking as they had never before Been , j
The next stop wan at the water carnival ,
when , they beheld the first performance of
DcAmy lu Emllo Bayard's masterpiece ,
billons of acrobatic and high diving ever
witnessed , as Mr. Gay la a champion in bin
lino. In the high dlvo of nlnety-flve feet
nnd turning ono and two somersaults ns ha
* ' docs , It is a most startling performance.
Ho will ba hera and may bo neon at every
_ performance during the ri-st of the tcason.
,1- , The cyclorama. with Its -100 feet of canvns
nnd Its wenJth of detail , came In for a good
share of their approval and In some cases
It required their cloeest scrutiny to nnd the
dividing line between the artificial and the
real , so closely and accuralely have Ihe
painter. ) accomplished their work.
At tlio Artists' Studio they witnessed the
V only risque performance on the Midway.
The parting of the Mlesea Wallara and
J Mr , Mot Gay in one of Iho grisliest oxhl-
"An Affair of Honor , " U ono of Ihe most
eeiift-itloiml "turna" ever seen in the west.
It Is the same Identical performance that
created _ mch a furore when produced at
Koster & Blal's lost ncaaon and is a per
fect representation of that famous painting.
At the Philippine Village they Interviewed
tha late Colonel Btotsonburg's coachman
and wore greatly surprised to flnd him so
Irvtorostlng a por-ionago ; in fact the whole
company made qutto an Impression , _ _ s the
American people ns a rule had been taught
to look upon these people OB a. semi-bar
barous raco.
After feeding the monkeys , talking to the
baby nnd otherwlso enjoying themselves ,
they gave the children of the party a ride
on the merry-go-round , and It was a notlco-
able fact that "there were others" who
rode and eocmed to enjoy the cool breeze
nnd the excitement of catching the brass
ring to ride the next time free.

The hot tvmda blew a ocorchlng blast
across the exposition grounds Wednesday
nnd lu consequence the attendance waa very
light. In the afternoon the grounds were
nearly deserted , but the cool of the evening
brought out more people. The muslo was
the chief attraction and two excellent pro
grams were given by the Bellatedt baud.
Adelmnnn'a band also furnished some very
good muslo In the morning and In the after
noon. The music by Bellatedt In the after
noon was of a high grade. Several numbers
were of especial excellence , among them
being the "Danao Macabre" by Salnt-Sacns
nnd the "Rondo Caprlcclow" by Mendels
sohn , The number In which Mons Chcvre
had the piccolo obligate was of nuch beauty
that ho was forced to rrepond. The piece Is
entitled "The Swallow" and Is a most beau
tiful production , The evening program was
of a high class of music , one of the very
bent that Mr. Rellstt'dt has put on lnce his
iirrlval , The "March Herolque" by Salnt-
Snons opened the program. This Is a very
dinicult selection and has many musical
peculiarities. Liszt's "Rhapsodle Hongratse"
was also one of the good numbers , and the
"Benediction of the Poniards" from "Les
Huguenots" by Myerbeer was a notable treat
to music lovers ,

FINAL WORD TO REV. MACKAY
Victor Hoiipwnter Invite * Hint to Make
Forninl ChnrKCN and Conrtn Invca-
Ity Library Board.
The following letter was delivered for
publication to the editor of the World-
Hprald before noon yesterday :
OMAHA , Sept. 6. To the Editor of the
World-Herald : I do not want to got Into a
per oual controversy in print with Mr.
Mackoy or any ono else , but I ask a few
vords in reply to the letter you publish over
his name.
That the records of the library board show
him voting for mo for vice president on the
night before his resignation is not very ma
terial. Ho says he eat silent the question
Is simply , Why did ho not have the courage
to protest against my re-election or at least
to record himself against me ?
The course ho pursued , however , convicts
him of Insincerity and lack of the highest
attributes of a Christian minister. Instead
of telling the truth concerning the cause of
his resignation from the library board , he
blazons to the world as the reasons for his
action , without Inquiring into tcu facts , two
different stories , each affecting the reputation
of a young woman and each without founda
tion. The ono story was so palpably false
that after ho had gossiped it about to a few
friends ho found he bad mode a bad mistake
and called It In.
As to the other story fathered by this
gossip-mousing preacher , even as he tells it ,
In what light does that leave him ? If he
wanted redress for n wronged woman , why
did ho not come to me or to my father and
make demand for some kind of a reparation
that might bnve helped her ? Why is It that
neither Mr. Mackay nor any one else pre
tending to speak for the young woman has
ever called on mo to make any demand
whatever in her behalf ? No , Instead he
carries his gossip to the World-Herald , the
known Implacable enemy of every one by
the name of Itosewater. and gives out for
broadcast publication what he says was con
fided to him as a minister of the gc pel with
the sacredneas of the confessional. Mr.
Mackay prates about being touched with
sympathy by what ho says be heard from
the lips of A young woman , but what kind
of sympathy Is It that stabs her under cover
by giving world-wids publicity to her dis
grace ?
It will not do for you to say that this at
tack has no political animus. You admit
holding It back for weeks until the eve of
thu republican primaries , while the black
sheep seeking nominations have been advis
ing their friends to watch out for a broad
side on the Rosewatcrs they bad been pre
paring to spring In the World-Herald. The
attack is too plainly a part of the sumo play
as my recent arrest for criminal libel to di
vert attention from the records that provn
the untrustworthlnoss of men you are trying
to help foist upon the republican ticket.
You demand editorially that I be removed
from the library board. I accept the chal
lenge. I invite investigation by the library
board. Let the two stories told by Mr.
Mnckny to President Lewis S. Reed ns the
reasons for litn resignation be reiterated by
Mr , Mackay before the board. My resignation
will abldn the decision of any unprejudiced
body 03 to the establishment of their truth.
In conclusion , I give notice that I shall
have nothing further to say in print con
cerning Mr. Mackay and his storlrs. Re
spectfully , VICTOR ROSEWATER.
T 1 It oil "The AvrruKC Mnn. "
"Tho Average Man" waa the title of a
lecture delivered last night by Robert Leo
Harper , supreme lecturer of the United
Moderns , lu the Continental block. There
was a large attendance at the ledge room
of members and their frlcudi. The lecture
was entertaining , bright , laughable , eerloua
mid eloquent by turns. It was an Inspiring
discourse In that it sought to establish tbo
thought that , while tlio ordinary or average
man cannot hope to attain tbo ideal of llfo
at all times , aud In full , yet ho need oot bo
rich or great In order to bo happy and suc
cessful. He need only bo true to tbo best
thnt U In htm , live simply , think highly and
absorb batlsfactlon from the myriad "cheap
enjoyments" ttiat surround all men In this
enlightened day.

Another effort will bo made today hy the
carpenters to Induce the contractors to j-.ny ,
i
the additional 6 cents per hour asked for
by * lie union. A committee from the car
penters will wait upon the contractors nnd
present to thorn ou agreement , asking them
to slKti It. which roads to the efTix-l that
the undersigned acree to pny to the cnr-
pouters employed by them from date , until
May 1. 1900. the sum of 35 cents IXJT hour.
The committee which will circulate the
ACrccmcnt will call upon the contractors
who nro members of the Hullders' and
Traders' exchange , these belonging to < ho
13.ill.ler. . ' association , and those contractors
who do not amllata with either organiza
tion.
tion.As
As near as can bo learned all the bu'ld-
era belonging to the exchange will sign the
document , as will the majority , If not nil
thoflo who do next bolonc to either of the
above named associations. The memliprn of
the Builders' association arc stilt linn In
their determination not to pay the advance
asked tor until after the completion of the
contracts now on hand.
It Is estimated that 230 carnenterH will
return to work this morning at xho nd-
vanced scale of wnces. They will resume ,
work upon buildings being erected by the
contractors who nro members of the exchange -
change and those who do not belong to any
organization.
The executive council of the carpenters
union will meet cither this afternoon or tbls
evenlnc In Iabor temple , and take some
action upon the present difficulty. The niem-
bcra of the two contractors' associations licld
nrtHlngs yesterday afternoon and last ovcn-
Ing , and as both sessions were executive , no
details were given out. It was stated that
the situation was dlscuased In a general
way. but no decisive steps were taken ono
way or the other.
A rumor was current last evenlnp ; that
Lwo of the contractors belonclnc to the
Hulldera' association had each lost a Job
owing to the owners becoming dissatisfied
with the delay , nnd turned them over to
contractors who agreed to place men vpon
the work In question today. It was Impos
sible to verify the rumors.
Three-Cornered Affair.
The moat Interesting feature of the day's
developments Is that the present strike has
developed Into a three-cornered affair ,
with the carpenters as one angle , the Build
ers and Traders exchange as the second and
the Contractors' Mutual Benefit association
as the other. The two associations do not
recognize each other , each claiming they
are the nseodatlon of contractors , while the
carpenters are divided upon the proposi
tion , those who are employed by .he ex
change contractors sticking up for that
organization , while those working for the
association contractors are siding with
them.
The association sprung Into existence
since the carpenters made their demands
for a B-cent per hour Increase , while the
exchange has been in existence for about
thirteen yearn. The members of the as
sociation claim that their books will show
at least thirty contractors as members of
the oncanlratlon. On the other hand , the
exchange people say that the association la
of mushroom growth and will dlo as soon
as the present controversy Is over ; that It
was organized for the solo purpose of at
tempting to defeat the carpenters' de
mands for better wages. B. J. Jobst la
president of the association , E. 0. Hamil
ton secretary and Henry Hamann treas
urer. The members of this association met
In secret session late Tuesday night and
passed resolutions to the effect that Its con
tractors would not pay the G cents per
hour until after the present contracts have
been completed. But at the same time ,
these contractors say they are willing to
compromise. Just what kind of a compro
mise wouM be accepted Is not stated , but
the Inference Is drawn that a proposition
coming from the carpenters to the effect
that they would accept an increase of 2 %
cents per hour until January 1 , and the ad
ditional 2 % cents after that date would not
be rejected by the association contractors ,
but would be accorded due and deliberate
consideration.
John Hart , the moving spirit of the ex
change , estimates that about 100 or 125
carpenters are now at work , being employed
by contractors who are members of the ex
change , and are receiving 35 cents per
hour. C. W. Partridge of the association
does not believe there are twenty-flvo car
penters at work receiving 35 cents per
hour.
How It All Came Abnnt.
Another interesting feature Is that the
contractors say the large stores In the city
are to ( blame for the present trouble , being
brought about by the 0 o'clock closing
movement on Saturday evenings. After the
etores adopted that rule , they commenced
to complain that the laboring men went to
South Omaha and Council Bluffs to do their
Saturday night marketing because they
could not get down town in time to do their
trading hero after working up to 5 o'clock.
The matter came under the observation of
Sidney J Kent , labor commissioner of Lin
coln. He came to Omaha to investigate the
matter and find a solution. He met with tba
carpenters , and advis d them to take a half
holiday on Saturdays , as is the custom In
England and other European countries. The
men objected to that , claiming they could
not afford to lose a half day's pay each
week. It was then that Mr. Kent proposed
the advance of 5 cents per hour In their
wages , to off-Eet the half holiday. The men
acted upon his suggestion , and those who
are now receiving that extra amount are
getting a bait day off each week and $1.20
more besides.

CHILD SHIELDS HER FATHER

AttnuU.
Hj- shielding her Invalid father from the
attack of a drunken neighbor Tuesday even
ing 9-ycnr-oM Klttlo Hardy , living at 1002
Dorcas street , was utruck lu the head with
a beer glass anil now lies at her home In a
precarious condition , suffering from th
effects of the wound. Dr. J. T. Stout , the
attending phjslclan , told the police the girl
may not recover , as Inflammation of the
brain Is likely to set In.
The man who threw the beer glass Is
John Nelson , a laborer , living at 1912 Dor
cas street. Ho was arrested by Officer Dan
Baldwin. Klttlo Hardy's father had been
111 for a number of we el. ? , nnd about 5
o'clock Tuesday evening was sunning him-
elf In the back yard , sitting on a weir
curb.
curb.Nelson
Nelson , his next door neighbor , had been
drinking In the house. When ho caught
sight of Itanly ho went out to the yard
with a pall of beer In ono hand and a glass
In the other and Invited the convalescent
to Join him In a little liquid refreshment ,
Hardy says no knew Nelson was a bad man
when under the Influence of liquor , and aa
ho wna not well enough to drink ho told
hla neighbor ho didn't care to accept the
Invitation. Ho then onked hlim to lenve the
promises nnd drink In hH own yard.
Nelson took offense at the refusal to enjoy
his hospitality and called Hardy vile names.
Other residents of the neighborhood were at
tracted by the loud talk , and Just as a crowd
was gathering Nelson made a rush for Hardy ,
clenching the beer glass In an uplifted hand
to strike him. Kittle Hardy saw her fath
er's danger and knowing him to be too weak
to defend himself , ran In front of the Infu
riated Nelson.
The action angered the man and diverted
his attack to the daughter. The girl stood
equarcly In front of her father. Nelson
raised the glass and hurled It with all his
might at Klttle's head. It struck Just above
the left eye , making a deep cut two Inches
long , laying bare the skull. The girl fell to
the ground stunned and Nelson ran Into the
house.
Neighbors carried Klttlo to her home and
the doctor was called to drcos the Injury.
Officer Dan Baldwin arrested Nelson a few-
hours later and secured the statements of
several witnesses who had seen the assault.
The phyolclan says he cannot tell for thirty ,
six hours whether or not the girl will live.

In TOoaklnc of the Whlto Cross pocloty ,
Mrs. Crclchton said It Is an auxiliary to
the United States army the some ns the
lied Cross society is an auxiliary to tlio
arralpfl of Europe. While one Is nn Inter
national orcanlznllon , the other Is a na
tional one. The Idea of the society was
born In her mind by 'the ' cmorKcnoy calls
for hof.pltal corps , supplier and nurses grow-
Inr out of the late war with Spain. After
formulating the plan In Oregon , where she
wna when the war broke out , she went to
San Francisco , whore troops wore embark
ing for the Philippine Islands. It was there
she saw more clearly the needs for nurse * ,
and supplies , and through her ncrglcs , and
the Influences of the society , one nurse nnd
a surgeon wore sent to the front to every
100 men.
The government hnfl taken recognition of
the eoclety , and whenever possible the
nuraes fitted for field and hospital work bv
the society are sent to the front. At the
present time there are twenty nurses nt
the Presidio In San Francisco , ten nt Honolulu
lulu nnd seven In the Philippines. As fast
as the nurses become acclimated they are
moved by decrees nearer the front , and by
the time they reach the semi-tropical cli
mates of Cuba , Honolulu and Manila , they
are Immunes.
In tlmea of i > caco the object of the so
ciety is to administer to tbo wants of the
soldiers , whether tbev are In barracks In
this country or In camp In the now pos
sessions , furnishing them the common neces
saries of life which are not Included In the
army reeulntlons. The society also strives
to furnish the soldiers with suitable under
clothing , which cannot always be procured
by them where they are stationed , and to
supply those who are not capable of Judging
for themselves the proper kind of under-
wearing apparel.
When war Is not belnc waged the nurses
belonging1 to the society will look after the
sick boys in the hospitals , cater to their
wants nnd do what onlv n woman c-in to
allevlaito pain and suffering by careful and
tender nursing under any and all con
ditions.
Although the society Is but fourteen
months old , it has grown wonderfully , there
being- state organizations in Oregon , Ne
braska and Indiana , and auxiliary organ
izations In Minnesota , Orecon , District of
Columbia , Wyoming , Honolulu and Manila.
MISSION WORK IN TURKEY
nntprtnliilnsr Tnllc l r n AVomnn "Who
IM I nKi > K.rd In ToncIilnRr the
Sultan' * Subject * .
Mrs. L. O. Loc of Marash , Turkey , spoke
at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church
Wednesday night of the mission work In
which she is engaged in Asia Minor. Her
audience was much Interested In the dc-
) tails which she gave of the missionary work
and especially In her statements regarding
the educational advancement of the natives
in Turkey.
Mrs. Leo dwelt principally upon the edu
cational Institutions which are being estab
lished in Turkey. Marash , where she and
her husband have been located for many
years , is something of an educational cen
ter. There are kindergartens , graded
schools , a school especially for girls , a
boys' academy , the Central Turkey Girls'
college and a flourishing theological sem
inary. Linst year there were 1,530 students
In the various Institutions. The greater
part of the work Is carried on by the na
tives and they have shown a remarkable
aptitude both as students and teachers.
"Tho position of women in Marash nnd
all through Turkey is a very low one , " said
Mrs. Leo. "They are oxtxremely Ignorant
and the people generally look down upon
woman as an Inferior creature. The mother
even propagates this idea among her chil-
drnn and the sons of every family are
courted and humored while the daughters
are looked upon with disdain and occupy a
most unpleasant position. As a result the
women have no confidence and no self-re
spect. They hold their heads down and take
but little Interest in affairs going on about
them. It has been ono of the principal alms
of the missionaries to counteract tha ! Idea
and to infueo self-respect nnd confidence
into women. A marvelous work In ttils di
rection has been accomplished by the schools
for women. "
Mrs. Lee apoke of the great responsibility
which fell to the lot of tbo missionaries
after the horrible Armenian massacres In
1800. Relief work hod to be Instituted with
the money which came In HO generously
from America nnd Hurope. Between 20,000
and 30,000 people were dependent upon Mrs.
Leo and her corps of helpers for relief. One
of the chief things accomplished was the
establishment of orphanages In which 250
children , left homeless by the massacre rf
their parents , were cared for. Those chll-
dron have made wonderful advancement
along educational and industrial lines.
Mrs. Lee stated that the prevalent custom
of marrying off the girls at the tender age
of 16 was rapidly being overcome by the
Influence of the missionaries and the teach
ers and pupils in the schools nnd the neces
sity of educating the young women Is being
appreciated more and more each year.
