ExuIpITs FOR THE EXPOSITION.
Dunch of Four Important Applications
Vust Received.

Applications for space continue to be re-
ceived with commendable regularity by the
Department of Exhibits of the exposition.
The latest is a batch of four applications
from some Of the most important agricultural
implement houses in the country. These ap-
plications were filed by Lucius Wells or
Council Bluffs the Iowa member OF the
Board Of Directors of the exposition. lhesc
applications aggregate 1000 square rect, ul-
vided as follows: Deere, Wells Il CO. OF
Council Bluffs, 800 feet; Deere IL Mansur
company of Moline. Ills, 1900 feet; Moline
Wagon company of Moline, Ills, 500 feet;
Parlin, OrendOrh & Martin OF Omaha, lZoo
feet.
The maj rer in which applications are com
ing in is regarded with great satisfaction Dy
the manager of the Department of Exhibits,
especially in view of the fact that the Trane-
| mississippi Exposition is getting " per
square foot for space, whereas the Norld $
fair did not receive anything for space, ana
the comparative showing of applications for
space one year before the gates were opened
is very much in favor of the Transmississippi
Exposition.
Prof r. b. Owens OF the Nebraska State
university, who has been appointed honorary
commissioner Of the electrical section of
| the exposition, was in the city yesterday
consulting with the management of the De-
partment of Exhibits regarding the details
! of his department. The professor has re-
CelYed letters from the Westinghouse coh-
| Germ of Pittsburg and from Walker Il Co. OF
Cincinnati, large manufacturers of electrical
| goods to the effect that they will make eX-
| hibits at the exposition.
Prof. Owens says he intends to attend the
national convention Of electric light engi-
| neers to be held at Niagara Falls Angus, s.,
.,.l a view of inducing that association to
meet in Omaha in 1898. The professor says
| that the meeting of such conventions will
| have a very strong influence in inducing
| manufacturers to make exhibits at the expo
| sition. and with that end in view he says
| he will cndeavor to secure as many of such
| conventions as possible.

PREVENTING
CONSUMPTION
The Cure of Catarrh the Most Potent Agency To-
ward Staying the Ravages of This Terrible Dis
ease-A Few Timely Words from Doctor Shep-
ard-How He Regards the Attitude the Health
Boards Throughout the Country Are Taking.

"I know that IL the people were
only alive to the fnct that II they Mt
tended To their throat and bronchial
tubes aud allowed those skilled In
the treatment of these parts to cure
them there would be but few eases OF
consumption. Any doctor who has
hnd amy extensive experience In
treating catarrhal troubles is aware
how this disease extends from the
thront to the bronchial tubes and
thence TO the lungs, causing n form
of consumption known as catarrhal
consumntion."
To show what can be done In the way OF
preventing consumption nothing is so con-
vincing as this: Among the hosts that
Doctor Shepard every year treats very few
persons who have been under his care have
been known to develop lung disease. This
is proof beyond question that by curing
catarrh the development OF consumption Is

LINCOLN. May l5.-(Special Telegram)-
In the brief filed in the supreme court to-
day by the attorneys Of f. A. Graham,
mayor, the plea is set up that the new char
ter of the city OF Liucoln Is void because
it amends the act OF 1891, it being also
claimed that the act OF 1891 was also uncon-
stitutional for the reason that while pur-
porting to be an amendment to the act OF
1889 II was not germane to the act it was
intended to amend. Thus II Is contended
that the Lincoln charter is not constitutional
because 1t amends an unconstitutional stat
ute.

the same year from imported manufactured
chicory and coffee substitutes on the basis
of cents per pound for chicory and
1a cents per pound for coffee substi-
tutes, the aggregate of which revenue was
the sum of 44,362.3S. If coffee substitutes
had been on the 2 cents per pound basis, this
revenue would have been increased $1l ,693 46.
at thus appears that duty of l cent per
pound on dried chicory and cents per
pound on manufactured chicory and coffee
substitutes would have produced in 1896
$214 475.39, an increase over the actual reve-
nue. under the Wilson bill in 1896 of $17O,-
1901"
The REALTORS also lay down the PROPOSE
ton that "a majority of the agricultural
states of the union, as to soil. climate and
natural conditions, are unequaled in capacity
to produce chiCory."
MEANS MUCH TO FARMERS.
This proposition has been demonstrated
beyond reasonable controversy. 1t applies
especially to the states of Nebraska, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wscon-
sin, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Ten
| nessee and California. Such being the case
everything in reason should be done to de
velope the industry, especially because IL
offers to the farmer an opportunity for fur
ther diversifCation of crops and chance
to improve his condition by profitable labor
Further it gies additional employment tr
meet the demands Of large numbers Of those
who now help to fill the ranks of the un-
employed.
This statement is conclusively illustrated
by the experience of the American Chicory
company of Nebraska. During the year 1896
said company had contracts with 239 farmers
in lFebraska for the growing of the chico, J
crop. Each one of said farmers employed
more or less hired help, hence the tota
number of persons employed was consider
able This year, If the proposed import
| duty 81, laid, the acreage OF last years pro
! duction will be doubled and two or moGt
| new factories covering the whole process
| of manufacture will be fully built and
| equipped The $4,000 paid by the company
| to the farmers last year will be in like man
| ner increased, and within a very short per
| iod of time, with proper encouragement
| there is no basis for doubt that the raising
of the chicory root will bring to the farm
ers OF Nebraska alone 100000 or more an
| nually."
