SITES FOR THE EXPOSITION
Next Important Question in Connection
with the 1898 Show.
TENDERS FOR DIRECTORS TO CONSIDER
Poor Farm, Elmwood, Rivervier, MIL
Ter Park and East Omaha Each
Have Their Advocates Who
VIII Urge n Selection.

The Board OF Directors of the Trans
mississippi and International Exposition as
soclaton will meet at the Com
mercial club rooms this afternoon
to open tenders OF sites for the
exposition. These tenders will be re-
celved at the secretarys office until noon
today and will be opened at the meeting
of the board. Judging from the expressions
of sentiment voiced by numerous directors
an engineering expert on exposition sites
will be employed from out Of the city to
make surveys of the proposed sites and re-
port to a subsequent meeting of the board
upon the respective merits of the sites
offered and the selection will be made by the
full board.
There will be FIVE propositions submitted
for the consideration Of the exposition di-
rectory. These proposed sites were de-
scribed in detail in The Bee several weeks
ago. The sites in question: are as follows;
What is krown as the Poor Farm site, the
Elmwood Park site the Riverview Park site,
the Miller Park site and the East Omaha
site
The supporters Of these several sites have
been doing a great deal of work during the
past few weeks and all feel confident OF
landing the exposition on their chosen site.
The supporters of the Riverview park site
have BEEN marshaling their forces and work
ing hard for their favorte. They have Is
sued lithograph map, purporting to
show the advantage possessed by their site
in the way of contiguity to the business CEN
ter of town, All rules of precedence are
brushed aside and, instead Of measuring
distances from the postofiice as central
point, 1t locates the central point at the
union depot at Tenth and Mason streets, and
thereby gives an advantage over all COM
petitors of about one mile The several
street railway lines are shown in red, and
the Riverview park exposition site Is heavily
shaded. These maps have been freely dis
tributed over town.
The pushers of the Miller park site have
prepared a handsome plat of their location
and will file this with their written PROPOSE
tion. The proposition which contemplates
the use of the state fair grounds and Elm
wood park will be submitted by several of
the residents of that vicinity. The East
Omaha proposition will be submitted by John
A. Creighton. The site which contemplates
the use Of the land adjoining Hanscom park
on the west and northwest and extending in
a northeasterly direction to Dodge street at
about Twenty-eighth street has been handed
sition which has been submitted up to this
time.
So far as can be learned there is but one
proposition which will contain an offer of
anything in the nature of a bonus. The
other propositions will simply include the
tender of the use of the ground, free of
cost, to the Exposition association. Some
will also include options ON the purchase of
any portion of the ground at a stipulated
price, and other considerations in the way
of sewerage, free water, etc.

HAD BEEN R0DnING FREIGHT CARS.
Quantity of Stolen Goods Found on
prcmiaes Of the AccmNCh.

Premises Of the Accused.
Railroad detectives are confident that they
located a fence for thieves when they
swooPed down upon a number of houses at
Sixth and Pierce streets Thursday and
recovered quantity of property which had
recently been stolen from freight cars. The
raid resulted in the arrest of Fred Baker,
George Baker, Lafe Patterson, John Kirk
land and Thomas Kirkland, all of whom are
at the police station, charged with bur
glary.
For some time past both the Union Pacific
and Burlington roads have been annoyed by
car thieves, who have stolen quantities of
property. The cars which seemed to be
especially selected were those loaded with
provisions and groceries. a few days ago
a Union Pacific car was robbed of lot Of
coffee and two days ago a Burlington car
was looted of a quantity of canned and
preserved goods. These were the latest
cases.
Thursday Detectives Wizard and Miller
OF the Union Pacific learned OF the eX-
istence of gang of peddlers who were SELL
ing provisions of various kinds from house
to house. They Investigated the matter
and found the five prisoners were the par
ties engaged in the business. When their
houses were ralded a quantity OF canned
pickles, milk, mustard and other stuff taken
from the burlington car was found and also
some coffee, which is supposed to have been
stolen from the Union Pacific car.
Late Thursday afternoon search warrants
and the warrants for the arrest OF the men
were Issued from Justice Of the Peace
Powers court the police court having ad-
journed for the day. An attempt is being
made to find some more stolen goods.
