THE SPRING ART EXHIBITION.

The Western Art association will
open its second exhibition on May Is.
We may confidently look forward to
marked improvement in the products of
the brush and pencil of our professional
and amateur artists. The SUCCESS of the
fall exhibition has infused in them con-
fidence in their ability, while the
standard of excellence insisted upon by
the association has given them an in
centive to strive for better things. All
this is in harmony with the spirit of the
society.
The Western Art association has
demonstrated its usefulness and made
for itself place in the work of higher
education. The exhibition of last fall
was in the nature of an experiment, and
its success was most gratifying. Encour-
aged by the favor with which the
exhibition was received, the asso-
awaken love for the fine
arts, and that its endeavor has been
crowned with success is attested by the
membership roll of nearly four hun
dred. What progress it has made in an
artistic sense, will be demonstrated at
the forthcoming exhibition, which is
destined to prove an agreeable surprise
to our citizens. To the lover of art this
will be pleasing information. 1t is
proof of the growth of the art feeling
ready to expand with every effort made
in its behalf. For that reason the
spring exhibition deserves substantial
encouragement. If all the people in
Omaha who have taste for art and de-
sire to encourage art culture will mani
| fest sufficient interest to visit the ex-
hibition, they will instil additional en-
thusiasm in the artist and in the stu
| dent. Every one who daubs paint on the
| canvas is by no means an artist, and
many of those who imagine they will
fill long felt want in art circles are
doomed to disappointment. Omaha can
be made an art center, and not many
years hence may rival Cincinnati in the
culture OF fine arts. This depends, how
ever, ON the public spirit and taste OF
wealthy citizens, and men and women
| OF leisure who are inclined to devote
their time to the cultivation OF art.
| The Art association is nucleus for
| such work. 1t remains for the citizens
OF Omaha and the people OF this section
to foster and encourage the art spirit
| through the association.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

To day the universal exposition will
be opened in Paris, and the republic of
France will begin the commemoration
Of the revolutionary struggle for free
dom in that country century ago. Re-
garding with disfavor what they were
pleased to consider the political signif-
cance OF this exposition, the monarchies
and empires Of the old world refused to
have any part in it, yet it prom
ises to be a very complete and at
tractive display OF modern industry and
art. The United States will be repre-
sented by generous exhibit OF the pro-
ducts OF its farms and factories, and

THE indictment of number OF keep
ers OF the Jefferson insane asylum, at
Chicago, for the brutal murder of an
inOffensive patient, reveals a shocking
state of affairs at that institution. A
newspaper reporter, by shamming in
sanity, became an eye witness to the
inhuman treatment of unfortunates.
His revelations of the barbarity prac-
ticed before the grand jury of Cook
county are almost incredible. 1t is to
be hoped that in the course of the
trials, the true state Of affairs will be-
come known, and the officials guilty OF
the crimes charged will be punished to
the fullest extent of the law.

was introduced some time ago on the

the southern roads, in all these cases
with satisfactory results. The New

vantageous to discontinue Sunday
freight trains. The arrangement is
understood to have been under con-

Thinks This Is the Route.

Hon. Thomas Wren said to several
persons while here, that the chances
we're in favor Of the Union Pacific
building their line VIA Eureka and
Austin to the coast. That there were
five companies coming into Salt Lake
City, and they would seek an outlet in
the neal future by building one OF two
lines. He claims that the Southern
Pacific people are estimating the cost
to build to the Mississippi river, and
that the Union Pacific, in otheriwords,
are forced to seek an outlet. The
only possible chance for the project to
fall through is for the two roads to set
tie their differences, and he thinks, as
time passes, the more tense their re-
lations become. II the railroad comes
this way the towns future is assured.

The Douglas Gold Fields.

The excitement regarding the gold
fields of Douglas is dying out. About
200 acres OF land were taken up in the
vicinity of Springmeyer's ranch, says
the Carson Appeal, but nothing in the
assays approached the first big assay
that occasioned the excitement. Gold
is found in all the w~ashings, but the
average assays Of the late locations do
not run over "a a ton.
Scores OF Carsonites who rushed up
there last week are offering their
locations for $40 down and no takers.
Some of the more determined parties
are following the original ledge, and
are still sticking to their work. The
others have abandoned the field and
intimate that the claims were sailed.

The Hunt

The Hunt placer claims at Salmon
Falls, IS miles above Bliss, says the
Wood River Times, are yielding quite
satisfactorily, averaging about $1,000
per month. This has been the out
put since last August, and j. S. Hunt,
who owns about one-third Of them,
says that over one-half Of the yield is
clear profit. The ground worked so
far, Mr.. Hunt says, averages over
81 200 an acre, and by close working
and thorough washing he could get
5000 to $500 additional per acre. Mr..
Hunt says that the ground is not the
best along Snake river; that, in fact
the best ground along Snake river has
never had water on it. He expects
that with his present supply OF about
1000 miners inches of water he can
wash steadily for 10 years without *
hausting the ground. And after he
is done washing he can sluice dirt into
his gravel and make the finest fruit
farm in Idaho.

Regarded a. n Favorable Sign.

Phoebe Record: Nothing but a
general note has been seer in the pa
pers concerning the meeting Of the
Union Pacific Directors which was
held at Boston recently. A report of
their proceedings was eagerly looked
for as it was thought it would contain
something definite about the extension
Of the road west from Milford. Moth
ing has been heard however and this
by some is regarded as a favorable
sign, in that if the U. =. Company had
determined not TO build its extension
it would have been at particular pains
to make the fact known; but having
concluded to 20 ahead, its ends will be
best subserved by keeping quiet until
the proper time arrives. The man.
ner in which those directly concerned,
who were much exercised over the
matter a short time ago. and who
would very likely be informed, now
say they don't know" when asked
anything about it, is regarded as con-
elusive that they are satisfied some
thing will be done.

A decision Of great interest to Odd
Fellows was rendered at Rockford,
H., last Tuesday, by Judge Crabtree.
G. II. Platner, a member Of Win
nebago Lodge, has been in bad health
for years, and claimed to be entitled
to the benefits OF the Order, owing to
his inability to work. The amount
was nearly 81, 1000, and the Lodge re-
fused to pay, OF the ground that his
sickness did not come within the re-
quirements and that he was engaged
in business, and would not have been
employed even il he were well. The
case was tried by the Court OF the
society and decided against Mr.. Plat
ner. Judge Crabtree decided that
they must pay the sum sued for and
costs that no society could act as a
Court in property matters, prohibiting
any member from further appeal to
civil Courts Of proper jurisdiction.

Unsatisf

A Washington correspondent, writ.

dent Harrison is pursuing a course in
the distribution Of public patronage
nightly unsatisfactory to many of the
leaders Of the Republican party. He
is anything but cordial when receiving
office-hunters. Self-eontained and
highly reserved he listens TO them.
but seldom, If ever, gives any salts
faction not ever TO Senators and
Congressman. He is accredited with
placing a higher estimate on his own
judgment Of applicants for office who
call on him than on the estimate OF
Senators and Congressman who have
known the applicant Intimately per
haps for years. Be this as it may, he
certainly takes his time in making his
appointments, for those of four-year
duration, which are the ones the Presi-
dent himself makes, announced in the
two months from the 4th OF March
this year, does not exceed the number
made by Mr.. Cleveland during the
same period in 1885 by twenty. The
whole number Of four-year appoint
ments made by President Harrison up
TO the 4th instant, barring postmasters,
was only l54.
