The Industrial exposition was ushered
Into life Monday night under the most fa
vorable auspices. Tho big building at Thlr
teenth nnd Harney streets was transformed
into a veritable mm of Industry. Or cat I
crowds of people thronged the structure-
the entire evening, Exhibits of every con-
celvabln sort were attractively displayed.
Urllllant electric Ilghti turned the ntzht
Into day,
President Sanborn, E. K. Andrews, chair,
man of the auditorium committee of pro-
motion, and Superintendent J. M. Olllan " -
were hlehlv nleased with tho microns nf thn
opcnlmonlght. The spontaneity with which
Omaha people turned out to view the ex-
position and by so doing Indicate their
hearty good will toward the auditorium
was alone enough to satisfy every member
of the auditorium board of directors who
has had to do with tho preliminary ar
rangements for the exposition.

consider me as one of the performers of
tho evenlnsr." aid President Snnhorn.
"Whllo I have been sandwiched In between
the vaudeville numbers, I must beg of you
not to m stake me for an actor. As nros.
Ident of tho Omaha Auditorium, however,
1 want to tell you our great pleasure at
seeing so many people nt our exposition
tonight.
When the board of directors was formed
to take charge of the auditorium nroitct a
committee was named, out ot which has
developed this Industrial exposition. The
plan was to solicit donations and exhibits
of different kinds from Jobbers and nianu
tacturers In Omahh and the territory east
of here. We have succeeded In gettliig be
tween 3S0 and 400 commendable exhibits
rtmc quite valuable and all aggtegntlntr a
ury good value. The porcceds from this
exposition will utslst us materially In rats
vg funds for tho auditorium without ticccv
Hons from Omaha people. Wo pr. inane lo
dispose of all these exhibits In some man-
per or other and we will adopt the unique
insofar as It ls possible In order that In
tel est may be added to tho exposition.
1'eslde the money-making feature wo vant
c please and entertain all those whom we
may be able to attract here.
"This project was born at the desire to
help toward the consummation of our idtjl
ot an auditorium tor Omaha. We belli t
that wo can now see where we are going
to succeed and be able to raise the amount
that will be needed to carry :hs work to
a great success. We have now about J130,-
000 In cash and good subscriptions. AVhnt
this feature will raise Is more than we
can tell perhaps $10,000, perhaps twirc
that sum. Wo will be satisfied If It con
tinues as successfully us It .las startp.l
this evening."

Superintendent J, M. Olllan said: "You
have undoubtedly noted that this expotil
tlon, llko all others. Is hardly In order as
yet. We have been rushing the work as
rapidly as possible. Much time had t)
be spent In preparing the building tor the
reception of the exhibits and In order to
nmko it presentable. ' Many of the ex
blblts are not yet In place, but we expect
to have our work completed by the end
ot the week. Let me say to you that when
you coniroouie your mines inr nuinissiuu
to tho exposition that many eastern manu-
facturers have donated to us exhibits which
in individual cases are valued as nign ak
$1,600."

There was the usual large and Interested
attendance at yesterday's meeting of the
department of political nnd social science,
It being tho first of a series of three meet
ings In which the history and work of
the social settlement are to be taken up.
Mrs, C. S. Loblngler presided. The secre
tary's report wus most complete, giving
a full account ot the last meeting. Mrs.
O. W. Clark gave a report of the worK
of the Woman's club matron at the rail
road stations nd asked that the women
go more frequently and personally in
vestigate her work. Some dissatisfaction
has been expressed of late and criticism ot
the rescue work of the city.
Thn afternoon program was then taken
up, Mrs. Q. W. Clarke, presiding Mrs. O,
t. Thompson read an Interesting and In
structive paper on the origin and history
of social settlement work, Including an
excellent description ot Toynbee Hall and
the method by which It Is conducted, with
much general Information of the White

visit to that district, with a vivid descrip

Two milk wagons running a race over
the ancient cedar block pavement of Writ
Leavenworth street was the spectacle which
broko the monotony of life In that section
of the city about 7.30 yesterday morning,
The teams were evenly matched as to speed,
that of Cliff Duell managing to keep Its
lead of ten or twelve feet despite the fact
that It was without a driver.
The pavement Is full of ruts and sink
holes, and Inside the covered wagons the
m(lk tans executed a merry dance. At ttw
conclusion of the twelve-block race the
commodity had been transformed Into an
excellent quality of butter and buttermilk,
which accounts for the southwest section
of Omaha drinking black coffee that morn
ing. The race was entirely spontaneous, being
the result of a misapprehension on the
part of C. P. Manse, the driver of the other
wagon, tluell had lorfg been his competi
tor. They had chaffed each other good
naturedly about almost everything, from
the quality of their milk to tho relative
merits of their horseflesh, so when Manse.
attempted to pass nuell's wagon at Forty
first and Leavenworth streets he was not
surprised to see the latter's team leap for
ward and strike Into a breakneck run. To
his mind here was a test of speed, so he
whipped up and tried to pass his rival.
Had ha looked behind ho could have seen
Buell running along behind wildly waving
his arms, but It never occurred to him to
do this. He was too Intent uoon winning
the race.
At Park avenue and Leavenworth street
the beat came to an unexpected close,
Bucll's team, In attempting to avoid a
passing vehicle, crashed Into the chariot ot
Manse, and both milk wagons were upset.
Manse then learned for the first time that
he had been racing with n drlverlcss team,
and was somewhat chagrined. He was still
engaged In clearing away the wreck when
Buell arrived upon tho scene. Tho conver
sation which ensued between them Is
classed as unmatlable matter.
Nothing so thoroughly removes disease

Considerable Interest was manifested by
business men and politicians yesterday aft-
j ernoon and last evening when the news wus
' telephoned from Lincoln that the South
; Omaha charter had passed the senate and
had been concurred In by the house. All
i that remains now. It ls stated, Is for the
bill to be engrossed and presented to the
governor for his signature. This, It is
understood, will be done at once. There
1 has been so much quibbling over the char
i tcr that nearly everyone gave a sigh of re
lief when the news was received,
It Is understood that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Savage has made a special request
that he be allowed to sign thq new char
ter, Inasmuch as he was the first inaor
of South Omaha. This can be arranged by
Governor Dietrich taking a tew hours' va
cation,. Under the provisions of the new charter
as reported from Lincoln only two council-
men, a tax commissioner and three mem
bers -of the Board of Education will be
elected at the coming election.
On account of the primaries being held
on Friday and the conventions on Saturday
politicians vere busy last night Axing up
fences and preparing lists of delegate!.
Under the law tho delegates to be voted
on at the primaries Friday must be filed
with the city central committee by noon
today. J. J. Fitzgerald will look after the
democratic end of this matter and Frank
Clark will see to the filings to be made by
the republicans. It Is .understood that the
united labor party will also place a ticket
in the field.
Members ot the city council asserted
last nlgbt that In their opinion a special
meeting of the council would have to bt
called at once In order to pass an ordinance
redisricting the-city so as to arrange foi
six wards. Thero is liable to be some con
troversy over this matter, as no agreement
has as yet been reached as to how the First
ward should be divided. Some favor cut
ting the ward at Twenty-fourth street,
while others want Twenty-third street to
be the boundary line. Others still favor
a line running east and west through J
street. It Is thought that more than likely
the First and Second wards only will be
cut. leaving the Third and Fourth wardsi
ns tbey now arc. By a division of the two
wards mentioned the voting precincts will
be Increased by at least four, making thir
teen Instead of nine precincts. In this case
copies of last fall's registration books will
have to be made for the use ot the election
boards In the new precincts.

of the club concentrating Its efforts upon
social settlement work. She said sbe did
not believe the women realized how much
they had already done along that line and
thought that by co-operating with tho
churchca and other organizations of tho
city that splendid results must follow. It
wrh also suggested that the citizens of
Omaha be asked for suggestions as to
what the women might most profitably take
up.
The next meeting will consider social set

to Omaha and It was derided that repre

Tho couple, accompanied by the little girl,
drifted west and some time ago landed In
South Omaha and took up their abode In
the Fourth ward. To all appearances the
couple were married and the child was
passed off as the daughter of the pair.
Through the efforts of friends Wllchalls

It ls by no means the fault ot J. Cheever
Goodwin or Ludwig Englander that "The
Monks of Malabar" furnishes to lovers ot
the lighter form of opera an acceptable
evening's entertainment. On the other
hand, It Is due almost wholly to the com
bined efforts of the scenic artist, the cos
turner, the stage director aud Mr. Wilson s
own personality tbnt the piece Is lifted
above the commonplace. Mr, Wilson has
surrounded himself with oue of the lnrgnst
and most capable companies he has vcr
had, but even this cannot counterbalance
the dullness of the book or the dryness of
the score. There Is little or practically
nothing In the music to charm the ear
unless It be with the possible exception of
the ensemble finales to acts one and two
and a couple of solo numbers In which
more or less catchy harmony Is noticeable
at times. It Is ty no means Ibi worst
thing Mr. Wilson has done, nor Is it by
any means the best. In It Wilson Is not
Booloboom, the merchant nf Malabar, but
the same Wilson ot Ermlnle days, with tbe
same clean-cut. legitimate comedy meth
ods, which never fall to produce hearty
laughter and plenty of It.
The production Is one of the most lau-
orate that has been seen In the city during
the present season. The locality cf '.he
piece, which ls East India, gives splendid
opportunities for handsome costuming,
which are well taken advantage or. .no
chorus Is a well drilled and splendid voiced
one. The girls arc pretty in race anu
shapely in figure and help form any num
ber of beautiful stage pictures, which are
feature ot the opera.
In Mario Celeste, his new leading loJy,
Mr. Wilson has a most promising young
woman. She has a well modulated soprnno
voice of splendid quality and which shows
careful training. Resides she Is the pot.-
sessor of an attractive personality. Her
solo number, "In Gay Paree," In iho first
act, Is really the gem of the opera and
won her a half dozen encores from nn
audience which, besides filling the theater,
was one of tho most representative of the
season.
Clara Palmer Is another promising young
woman who won tbe approbation ot lha
audience In her solo numbers. There ls a
topical duet Introduced by Miss Celeste
nnd Mr. Wilson In act one, entitled "Jo
seph, James and John," which Is clever
and won a number of encores. Van Rens
selaer Wheeler has limited opportunities lu
the part of an Italian nabob, although his
splendid tenor voice Is henrd to advantage
In solo numbers.
The engagement will close with this
evening's performance,

J. E. Houtz, collector of Internal
revenue, ls not seriously disturbed because
of the recent recommendations to have tho
two Dakota,! withdrawn from the district
of Nebraska Even If the president nets
on these recommendations," said he, "and
the Dakotns are withdrawn and organ
ized Into a district by themselves, it will
not materially affect the collections In
this district. It may surprise you to know
that, while tho collections for this district
nre from J3.000.000 to $1,600,000 a year, only
about 1250,000 Is collected front the two Da
kotns combined. All the rest ot tho revenue
comes from Nebraska.
"I can't offer a satisfactory explanation
for this discrepancy. Tho Nebraska dis
tilling industry may account for part ot It.
Another surprising fact is that the collec
tions for Nebraska are greater than tor
those of Iowa."
