The Midway Is pretty well deserted , as few
of the nhowu are open to the public at this
tlmo , The exhibits , however , have been re
ceiving much attention for the past few
days , and they are \\ell worth the time spent
In Inspecting them. The agricultural showIng -
Ing Is abundant and very thorough , com
prising extensive assortments of every ve'go-
table r.ml grain Indigenous to this soil. The
committee , which has been scoring to ascer
tain which countlcH are entitled to bear off
the prizes , will finish work today and the
\\Innors will bo announced. This commit
tee has had a very dllllcult task , as the coun
ties have been very close and It has been a
hard matter to ascertain just which ones
were the befit. The matter of colonial cx-
hlbltfl nnd state dlsplnjn will also be de
cided today.

disport themselves In honor of their brother ,
Herman Hellfitedt , who IH n prominent mem
ber of the order , and there Is a promise
of a very warm time. Mr. Bcllstedt has made
out a program which contains some selec
tions of a nature to plcasu his visitors and
has some encores up his sleeve that will not
dampen the spirits of these who attend.
The matter of maintaining order on next
Tuesday night was discussed In the meeting
of the executive committee Friday evening
iiinl It was the unanimous opinion that order
should bo preserved If It took the whole po-
llco force to do It. Mayor Moorcs has sig
nified bis Intention of allowing the metro
politan police to go out in sullldcnt num
bers to quell any dlsturbinces , and the
members of the committee say they will have
any ono who starts rough behavior bundled
Into the patrol wagon and brought down to
the city jail at once. A very large attend
ance Is looked for on the last night by the
committee , as many tickets have been sold.

MEETING OF LIBRARY BOARD

At the meeting of the Omaha public library
board Friday night the main topic of In
terest wan the discussion of whether or not
It would bo advisable lo begin an Indian
museum In connection with the library. It
was ascertained that a collection of valuable
rellca was for sale and the members of the
board favoied obtaining them , but were
handicapped by lack of funds. This matter
and also the matter of purchasing some of
the curios nt the exposition were put over
until another meeting.
Miss Tobltt said a good many things were
being sent to the museum nnw established
In the building which ehe did not feel were
worthy a place there. She asked how she
was to prevent tbo donating or loaning of
articles which were of no value. Mr. Hal-
ler thought It best that all articles should be
passed upon by the board , and hereafter
they IN III be stored In the basement until
such examination may be made.
Dills amounting to $1,222.13 were allowed
and some needed Improvements , such as
doors on the third Hoar and cupboards on
the second , were authorized.

About 125 of the 'boys ' who eel ) papers

gave three cheers and a tiger for The Omaha
Boo and then marched to the Orpheum ,
where they were guests of Manager Ilosen-
thal for the evening. Before they entered
they called for Mr. Uosonth.nl and as ho
stepped out to meet the tatterdemalion dele
gation , Mogy stepped forward with a bow
and presented to him a magnificent bou
quet of roses , purchased with the combined
contributions of the crowd. The recipient
was highly pleased with thla llttlo token
of thoughtfulncEs and told the boys so , and
this In turn brought out vociferous cheers.
The boys marched In single fllo to the
front seats In the balcony , where they en
joyed the flno bill of the evening nnd were
as orderly as the people who filled the
parquet. It wa a holiday time and every

In d'ecusslng his escape from the Jail nt
Broken Bow , William Miller , t1io > alleged
robber of the postolllco atMnnia , Hays that
Hart Olsen , the young man who went with
him and who was captured near Indlanola
by Deputy United States Marshals 1'almer
and Darbcr , is as Innocent as a babe.
"It seems that the postolllco was robbed ,
but I had nothing to do with It , " said 'Mil '
ler. "I waa waiting at Morna for a letter
from home. I was eating at n hotel and
Bleeping at cheaper places , In order to cave
money. Ono night I happened to be walkIng -
Ing past the postolllcowhen nemo ono shoved
a gun Into my fnco and commanded mo to
throw up my hands. Instead of doing so ,
I turned and ran. When I had gone about
twenty feet the fellow let drlvo at mo nnd
Illled my right lea full of chicken nhot.
That's all I know about.tho robbery. Af
ter being shot I was pleked up and carried
to the Jail , and later on taken to Ilroken
How and placed in the county jail In the
basement of the court house. After my
hearing and after being bound over to await
the action of the United Statoo grand Jury ,
1 determined to escape. Olson was the only
other prisoner In the Jail and I concluded
to Mil or take him , as 1 did not propose to
have him squeal on me. After my kg got
well enough t > o that I could use it a little ,
I commenced to work. I pounded away at
tba brick in the wall and finally loosened
several of them. Then I waited for a dark
night.
"A couple of weeks ago , during a storm
at night , I awakened Olscn and told him
that If ho did not go with mo I would kill
him. Not having much ncrvo the fellow-
mumbled out Homethlng and promised that
hoould go. I knocked nut a few more
bricks from the wall , pushed him through
the hole and then crawled through myself.
After getting out wo went over to a barn
whcro I stele a horse and buggy , after
which wo sturtt-d on our trip , heading to
ward Kansas. Wo drove all night and all
the next day , going across fields and ford
ing streams , keeping uwoy from towns as
much as possible. We followed gullle and
gulches and had gene 150 miles when over
taken. The two ollk'ers who caught Ud
are entitled to great credit , an I did not think
that it was possible for an ) body to follo.v
tbo trail.
"I know that I am In for It and If Indicted
I think that I shall plead guilty , notwith
standing the fact that I am Innocent. I
did not rob tbo poUofllcc , but there would
bo no use putting up a fight , as the people
up there would nwoar mo to the peniten
tiary anyway. "
