The chief feature for Monday at the ex
position was the production of the big tnu-
elcal spectacle "Santiago. " U was given for
the third time , but with BO many now
features and with eo much more smoothness
that It seemed like a now thing and. was
greeted with great npplauso by a largo
crowd. The graceful dancers at the begin
ning of the extravaganza mndo a delightful
beginning , and from that on to the grand
climax where the battle occurs thcro is a
gradual deepening of interest.
The battle Monday night was especially
good for the reason that the participants
have had rehearsals and know how to manage -
ago the affair. A pretty now feature was
tha addition of the city of tents , simulating
on actual field of battle , with the many
Eoldlcru standing about.
The sham battle In the afternoon drew a
fair audience. The arrangements there , too ,
have been changed somewhat , nnd they are
for the betterment of the show. In the be
ginning the Sioux are brought up In bands
on horseback to the strains of a march.
Bands of Porcupine , White Clay , Wounded
Knee nnd Medicine Hoot Sioux rode for
ward and the chief of each division rode
r alone to a bugle call from the band. There
was the usual fancy trick riding and other
wild western features before the battle. The
Indians simulated death and fell over and
rolled upon the ground as though they were
writhing In the death agony during the
fight , and the whole sccno was exciting and
full of Interest.
The high diving exhibition wns tha best
v- that has been given , and the blowing up
of the Maine was realistic. Alfreno gave
two very creditable exhibitions on the high
rope , the one in the evening being accom
panied by soaio fine fireworks. The concert
by Uollstodt'o band In the afternoon was
well patronized.
During all this week there will bo a sham
battle and high diving on the Lagoon each
day , nnd there will also bo a model of the
Maine blown up every afternoon. Other
special attractions will also bo shown in
honor of Ak-Sar-Ben week.

For the last week the Midway has boon a
forlorn place and thcro has been a percepti
ble diminution in the number of inhabitants
of that picturesque thoroughfare. The
reason of the attenuated population is that
eomo of the big shows have sent out repre
sentations to LIticoin and Hastings in order
to rnko In a few exjra dollars. Moat of
those who have been out on tbo dollar bunt
ing expedition returned Monday , but there
are still n few who will attend the street

sented at the out-of-town affair were the

CARPENTERS FINDING WORK
Twenty-Four Union Men Given Km-
Iiloymciit by Contractor * nt the
Scale of Wuuc Ucinuiidcd.
The carpenters were more confident yes
terday of forcing the contractors to accept
the terms demanded of them than they have
been at any time since tbo walkout took
place. The officials of the Carpenters' union
at Labor temple were notified that on two
buildings union carpenters were given work
at the scale demanded 35 cents an hour for
eight hours' work a day.
Fourteen men went to work at that ecale
for Butko , < the contractor , at Twenty-fltth
and Farnara streets. Foreman McCloud at
the Webster street depot employed ten
union carpenters at tbo enmo rate. Mem
bers of the union ( insert that there are not
twenty Idle men , and If tbo contractors want
to resume the work they have on hand they
cannot secure the necessary men , The car
penters say they expect the atrlko will bo
settled In a day or two and are confident Of
winning out.
The contractors declare that there Is noth
ing now in the situation. * Many of them
profess to bollovo the carpenters will glvo
In first , as they say they can afford to let
their unfinished Jobs stand till non-union
men can bo secured to complete them , A few
of the carpetcrs are leaving the city to work
In other towns.
NECK IS BROKEN BY A FALL
Unexpected Movement of Home
Thrown Occupant of HUKPTJ' I.cnil-
forcino.il , KlllliiK Him.
A ccrap of paper blown across the road-
wajr near 1602 South Fifth street Monday
frightened a horse , causing It to Jump to one
side , unexpectedly cramping the buggy In
such a way as to pitch Its occupant to the
ground. The man struck head foremost ,
breaking his nock. He died1 twenty mlnutra

road. Albcrlson was In .plain . vlow of the
doctor , -who sat In a front room chatting
with his patient. Dr. Wilson noticed that
his friend waa sitting Idly holding the reins
loosely In ono hand.
At the sight of a bit of paper bounding
across the road the horse suddenly jumped
as If to turn and run. The vehicle was
cramped and It tipped a few feet , pitching
Albcrtson over the front .wheel. The doctor
saw him fall In a heap and ran to his n -
fllslnnce. When Albcrteon was picked up
there were symptoms of a broken neck and
ho died a 'few ' minutes later without hav

OMAHA MAN FOR DIRECTOR
James M , Woolworth Atsntnes a High Posi
tion in the Water Company.
RESIDENT DIRECTORSHIP IS PERMANENT
ChntiKC Announced liy lre liJCiil
AVoodburr In 1'cmoit-lnrreniic
111 1'uinnltiw Cnpneltr of
Florence IMiuil.
It 'has Just boon decided by the directors
of the Omaha Water company that hence
forth the company shall have a resident di
rector In the city and James M , Woolworth
has been placed' ' In that office. Mr. Woolworth -
worth la now also vlco president of the
company.
This announcement made by Presi
dent Woodbury , who la In the city on ono
of his frequent trips of Inspection , His
present visit la ono of unusual Interest and
Importance , not only on account of the
change In the directory which ho announces ,
but on account of the addition to tha Flor
ence plant which has Just toecn completed
and now shelters the latest Increase In the
pumping capacity of the works. The con
struction of the new portion of the build
ing was begun over a year ago , but It was
not until this week that the Installation and
connection of the naw pump for which It
was built was completed.
Both the pump and the added part of the
building which contains It are an near per
fection as it is possible for money end skill
to make them. The new "wing does not
mar the architectural completeness of the
hulldlngns is so often tbo case with later ex
tensions , but balances the whole , and Is In
conformity with It to the last detail. It was
duo In largo measure to President Woodbury -
bury that so handsome and substantial an
addition was made so near the expiration
of the company's franchise and contract ,
when a cheap wooden structure might have
sufficed and was what most people would
have expected as the natural thing.
"Mr. Woodbury told the other members or
the company , " said Chief Engineer Reyn
olds yesterday , "that ho didn't want any
warts etuck-on the building , oven If It wa *
within a few years of the end of the fran
chtao and they didn't know 'what the city
would do. He didn't know whether the
company would ever get Its money back or
not , but toe said that If It didn't there woulo
bo the building , finished as it ought to be. "
Unlit Upon the Saml.s.
The now wing enjoys a distinction prob
ably limited to a few stone structures In
the world in that It rests on a quicksand
bottom. Captain Reynolds saya that quick
sand makes as good a bottom to build on
as any other , provided that it cannot got
away. To keep It from getting away there
must bo something to hold it , which In the
present case is simply the weight of the
surrounding earth. To go down beyond the
sand < woa out of the question. The exca
vation was carried down very deep , but was
stopped when It was realized that the weight
of the rest of the ibulldlng and the Immensely
heavy pumpo In It would make any further
digging eo close to them dangerous. So the
building -was built on that level. As It Is
the floor of the pump pit Is considerably be
low the surface of the river and there Is
some water on the floor In consequence , but
ample drainage arrangements have been pro
vided.
The new pump is not distinctly nn im
provement over the twenty-million gallon
triple expansion pump Installed nine years
ago , which Its makers still regard as the
acme of tholr achlovonenta , nevertheless It Is
a -wonderful piece of mechanism. ItTvasbuIll
to be a twenty-million gallon pump , but it
has boon run up to twenty-four million and
works "better " at that rate than at twenty.
It will therefore bo run at twenty-four mil
lion gallons , and will relieve two thirteen-
millfam gallon pumpo which are still prac
tically as good as now , but will be held In
reserve and used only In emergencies. It la
expected to do all the work that they have
been doing. It sucks water from
the river through a forty-elght-lnch
in-tako and fills the two monster
cylinders , one after another , without so
much as a murmur. So smoothly do Its
parts travel up and down on their ceaseless
Journoyu that it Is almost Impossible to real
ize its immense power. Neither It nor any of
Its fellows causes any perceptible vibration
or "pulso" In the engine room itself , but
far up on the bill , where are the basins that
receive the water , ono can feel the force
of the great waves of water that como surg
ing up through the largo pipes in the
ground that one elands on.
Nor does the rating of the pump
which is mentioned as twenty million
gallons , give the real force which it
exerts , for theeo engines all work
WorkliiK AsmliiNt Klre .Pressure.
against flro pressure , ' something which Is
done In the systems of very few largo cities.
And this makes a difference , which may be
appreciated somewhat when It is explained
that the new pump would have a capacity
of fifty million gallons Instead of twenty
millions if it were not lifting water against
flro pressure.
There are a good many remarkable feat
ures about the Omaha pumping station ,
among which Is the consumption of all
smoke , though cheap , dirty coal is used.
Every flro-pot is provided with a combustion
chamber , through which the smoke and
boated air are forced and which attains a
heat of from 3,600 to 4,000 degrees. The
plant develops as much power as all the
other power plants of the city taken to
gether , but from its smokestack there comes
only a thin ibluo wreath.
Another remarkable thing Is the fear , ever
present 4n the minds of the managers , that
the river may some day dig Itself a new
channel a mlle or more away and leave the
expensive iplant high and dry and useless.
To prevent this expensive
rlprapplng is going -
ing on on both aides of the river , on the
one side to keep the restless muddy monster
from coming too near and for a milo or
more along the other to keep It chained
down to its duty.

The regular fall term of the district court
convened yesterday with a fair sized
docket , but there were only a few cases
ready for trial. The Jury was called In
court room No. 1 , before Judge Uaker , and
out of the ninety men summoned fifty-five
responded. Of these , twenty-two offered ex
cuses which were accepted. Of the men ex
cused , nearly all pleaded work that is payIng -
Ing them better than serving on the Jury.
Of the farmers called nearly all desired to
bo permitted to return to their homes In
order to complete the garnering of their
enormous crops.
After disposing of the Jury , Judge Daker
took up the disposition of one or two minor
motions , and then called the case of the
state against Abe Johnson , charged with
shooting with Intent to kill. As the story
goes , one night last April Abe Johnson and
Gcorgo Duncan , both colored , met at Elev
enth street and Capitol avenue , nnd had
some hot words. After the discussion had
proceeded for n fo\v \ minutes Johnson
whipped out a revolver and fired at Dun

The Troeadero Stock company opened the
eighth week of its ipermanen.t engagement
in this city Sunday night , presenting Charles
Lecocq's comic opera Glrofle-Glrofla. With
each succeeding week this capable organi
zation seems to gain popularity and no mat
ter what opera they sing or how old It
maybe , lovers of music patronize it most
liberally , knowing that it will be capably
interpreted. The offering for Ak-Sar-Deu
week is ono particularly well chosen for this
annual occasion of Jollity , being one of the
lightest and funniest comic operas ever writ
ten and therefore can be fully appreciated by
both the 'musically educated and those who
are not fortunate enough to possess knowl
edge of the different musical technicalities.

The good effects of ninny well selected
spectacles are entirely lost by the lashes
brushing against the gla H. It not only
HoilH the lenses , but Irritates the eyes
and lids. 1 give ( special attention to
fitting frames , as I am as particular
about this as about the lenses , if I
liuvon't u frame in stock that ills you I
take the measure of your face and order
ono made for you. I do not let the tem
ples cut the face nor the lashes brush
the glnss. I see that ihe eyes look ex
actly through the center of the lenses.
I want every pair of glasses I sell to
look well , lit well and wear well.
