The council has authorized the mayor

doubtless the western metropolis will
put up an equal amount. A site for the
exposition has already been designated
and the contest Chicago will wage will
not lack in energy and interest. 1t is
likely TO be assisted in congress by a
very generous western support and New
York may find Chicago much more
formidable rival than Washington.
AS to Washington, her people appear
to be entirely confident of the result.
Doubtless considerable number of con-

favor of holding the exposition at the

disadvantage to Washington, however,
is her inability to compete with the
other cities financially, and when New
York and Chicago go to congress with
their offers of millions to insure the
success of the exposition some of those

There is promise of a highly inter est

NO HALFWAY BUSINESS.

Our business men, who, OF course,
comprise bankers, merchants, manu-
facturers and real estate men, must not
allow Omaha to be outdone this year in
the impending annual exposition. Kan
sas City, Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Sioux City have made their fairs, win
ter carnivals and corn palaces profit
able. They have not only drawn upon
the region tributary to them, and
reaped golden harvest from thousands
of visitors, but they have advertised
their enterprise and public spirit far
and wide and attracted capital from
abroad.
1t goes without saying that Omaha
can do what others have done in the way
OF public exhibits ana entertainments.
No time is to be lost, however, if we
want TO succeed this year. Our busl
ness men must not only promptly and
encrgetically cooperate with the men
upon whom devolves the management
of Merchants Week, but they must
also exhibit public spirit by liberal
subscriptions. 1t would be far better to
abandon the projected demonstrations
altogether than to disgrace Omaha by
a second-rate display. What is worth
doing is worth we'll doing. Omaha
must either improvise an imposing ex-
| hibition of her commercial resources
and manufacturing industries, or let
! the Merchants Week project
drop. We must supplement-
| the trades parades and exhibitions of
our wares with brilliant and varied
pageantry and that will impress and
| entertain the people who come to
| Omaha during merchants week. Other
wise, it would be better to postpone our
entire fair and exposition programme
indefinitely. Omaha has never done
anything by halves and she cannot af-
| ford to do so this year.
There is no time to be lost and there
| should be no need of coaxing our busi-
ness men into signing the necessary
| funds.

Is MARY ANDERSON INSANB2
Report That the Actress is Suffer-
ing From Pnresis.


New YORK, July 25- Special Telegram
to The BEE. IA weekly society and theatri-
cal paper asserts that Mary Anderson is suf-
fering from dangerous form Of paresis, and
at present is really confined in private asy-
lum abroad. 1t is said ber failure in this
country before going across tho water was
the result of a gradual breaking down Of her
faculties and physical powers consequent
upon excessive work. For two years before
she had studied harder than ever, and at the
same time attended with care to the mnutest
matters connected with the stage manage
ment of her company. Being of an exceed
ingly nervous and high wrought tempera-
ment, this told on her.
The report as given above has not been
verified, and Miss Ahderson's friends in this
city are very loath to believe it. Nearly all
the theatrical people are horror-struck at
the announcement, but declare it must not
be SO bad as reported. 1t is feared, however,
that little reliable information can be OBJ
tanned until the return of Henry Abby from
abroad, where it is understood he has been
to see Miss Anderson.

A MYSTERIOUS disappearance OF four
hundred and sixty-eight thousand dol
lars paid by the treasury few months
ago to the Creek commissioners has
been giving President Harrison and
the cabinet no end Of worry. An in
vestigation has been ordered and the
government will satisfy itself whether
the money has been misappropriated by
these agents who were to pay over the
funds TO the Indians. If it be shown
that the commissioners converted this
sum to their own use, not only wall the
government be scandalized, but the
theft will be recorded as one of the bold
est and most shameless in the history
OF this country.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

The marriage of the daughter Of the
Prince of Wales is not likely TO be happy
political stroke. The first announcement,
that the queen would herself assume the ex-
pense of setting up the nuptial pair in an
appropriate style of housekeeping, turns out
TO have been untrue, and the British tax
payer is expected 70 MAKE another Of the
''royal marriage grants" which are SO pain
fully familiar to him. This aspect of the
marriage disgusts the British democracy,
while the British aristoeracy is repelled by
the possibility that the fruit OF it may be a
future ruler of Great Britain. Princess

Robert Glenn is Insane.

The testimony in the case of Robert Glenn,
alleged to be insane, was concluded this
morning before Judge Stewart, and the de-
cree is that he is not of sound mind, and is in
competent and unable to transact business.
Richard Cunningham was appointed guar
dian to take charge of his affairs. Glenn
owns fine farm that adjoins the Wesleyan
dent of the county for over twenty years. He
appears to be intensely melancholy, and is the
victim of vagaries, but is not violent in any
manner. On the contrary, he is very tract
able, and shuns the compromising OF any Of
his neighbors. He has been Catholic COM
municant until within the past year, but he
hugs the delusion that the church is perse-
cutting him, or, as he puts 1t, has it in for
HIM. Another of his delusions is that his
house is the abode of witches.

THE information that the free de-
livery system Of the Omaha postoffice is
to be improved and accelerated by the
addition of new carriers will be received
with great satisfaction. OF all the men
in the employ OF the postoffice depart
ment of this city, the mail carriers are
the most faithful and tireless workers.
1t is not uncommon for these public
servants to be called upon to cover large
suburban districts daily, making their
task difficult one. The increased ter
ritory taken into the city limits re-
Gently, coupled with the. fact that
Omaha possesses a rapidly growing
population, makes the present carrier

be asking too much of the department

riers fully one-third in order to insure a
prompt delivery all over the city.

THERE is loud call going up for
some action Of congress when it shall
convene to lessen the duty on sugar
and so break the power of the sugar
monopoly. This question is no longer
one of free trade Or protection, but one
in which prime necessary of life has
been tampered with for the sole gain of
selfish syndicate of reliners. Congress
wall not be able to dodge the question
and the people of the country will ex-
pect from it an early recognition OF the
danger and prompt remedy TO check

The Trombley Case.

1t goes without saying that the case OF
Sheridan Graves, charged with ravishing
little Cora Trombley, and that of James
Sharp and Della Berry, charged with entic-
ing the girl to life Of shame, tried before
Judge Stewart yesterday afternoon, is the
most aggravated case of moral crookedncss
ever heard in the county court of Lancas-
ter county. THE BEE cited the fact
this morning that the parties de-
fendant had been bound over to answer to
the district court, and in default of bonds
had been committed to the county Jail. 1t
appears that the end Of the case is not yet
To-day Mr.. Trombley, the father of Cora,
swore out warrants for the arrest of Charles
Doyle and Gardiner Haynes, charging them
with debauching Cora, who is under the age
of consent. In conversation with The BEE
representative, Mr. Trombley states that he
little dreamed of his daughters wayward-
ness until he found out that she had gone
from home, when he commenced a rigid in
vestigation into her conduct and habits He
further states that the parties complained of

for short time past and that
he does not believe that she is conscious
of the enormous sin she has committed Her
sincerity and testimony before the court at
test this. 1t is thought that there IL plenty
of testimony to convict the woman Berry of
being procuress. Other arrests are to be
made. and some of them will create no little
surprise. Mr.. Trombley says that he proposes
to see every person punished who has had a
hand in running his daug hter.

THE COST OF BOOMING.

The Republican claims TO have
drummed up five hundred and fifty-one
subscribers at Lincoln who are willing
to take the sheet on trial for ten cents
a week, delivered by carrier. If this is
true it is not very Aattering testlmo-
nial to the financial management OF the
concern, nor encouraging to its stock
holders. If everyone Of these probation
patrons can be induced. to pay for his
paper, the receipts from Lincoln would
aggregate fifty-fve dollars and ten
cents week, OF which at least fifteen
dollars would be retained by the
carriers, and. eighteen dollars by
the man who has charge Of
the boys and does the collecting,
leaving twenty-eight dollars and ten
cents to pay for thirty-eight hundred
and ffty-seven papers, of which thirty
three hundred and six are eight-page
and five hundred and fifty-one twelve
page. In other words, the Republican
does not get back enough to pay for
the blank paper it has used. At that
rate it only remains a question of few
months before the concern goes into
hands Of another receiver. That in
evitable outcome, of course, does not
concern the people, who pay their dimes
at the end of each week, and that
large class who never told the can
vasser that they Intended to pay.
But the dupes who pay five dollars in
advance, because the paper is offered
at half price, may be concerned should
the receiver find himself unable to
liquidate the liabilities to prepaid sub
onriharu

llNCOLN, July ~ '
For some time past "Cooneyn Schlandorf,
foreman of the collar shop at the peniten-
tiary, has been on bad terms with several OF
the convicts IN his employ, owing to the fact
that they did not work to suit him and were
consequently reprimanded. This morning,
while Schlandorf was at work with his back
turned toward two Of the insubordinates,
they jumped upon him. and bearing him to
the floor, were administering severe punish
ment, when Albert Mudra, foreman Of the
harness shop, took a hand in the fracas. He
struck one of the men a severe blow but
failed to floor him, but he himself had n
finger broken on his right hand. The noise
of the struggle brought one of the guards to
the scene, but as he was about TO Sc parate
the men another convict picked up hammer
and struck the guard, knocking him down.
AT this juncture a half-dozen guards appeared
and they quickly downed the three re-
calctrants and put them in the dark cell,
where they will do penance on u bread-and-
water diet for one week. Schlandorf and
Mudra and tho guards were pretty badly cut
about the head and face, out all are back at
work this afternoon. There are about fifty
convicts employed IN this department., and
they were all witnesses Of the affair.
