SENTIMENT RUNS ONE WAY
Mass Meeting Held Under Auspices Of the
Retailers Association.
EXPOSITION FOR NEXT YEAR IS ENDORSED
vusiness Men Express Their Views
and Vote for n Resolution PIedg-
ing support to the Great
Enterprise.

The exposition in 1899 received an
thusiastic endorsement from 400 business
men and one business woman at the Com
mercial club last evening. The sentiment
was all one way Not dissenting voice was
heard. Those present were largely retailers
out some wholesalers and a number of pro-
fessional men were there also. Something
over $1100 was added 10 the subscription
list, bringing the total amount subscribed
UP to nearly s62, 900.
At the request of the meeting Chairman j.
H. Dumont appointed the following
executive committee to conduct the
campaign in favor OF the end f-the
century show: Messrs. n. A. Kuhn,
chairman; George w. Kelley, T. p. Cart
wright, A. C. Raymer and H. J. Hughes
The following declaration was unani-
mously adopted
Resolved, by the citizens of Omaha. in
mass meeting assembled, That 1t Is the
sense OF this meeting that another exposition
be held in Omaha in the year 1893; and be
1t further
Resolved, That the individuals here pres

belief Of these assembled that the next ex-
position can be made In every way hitting
climax to the greatest exposition In MS
tory and lasting benefit to the whole
transmississippi country.
To Decide Its Fate.
George F. Munro opened the meeting
with the statement that it was desired by
the Retailers association to sound the
sentiment regarding the wisdom OF holding
the exposition another year Personally he
was in favor Of it. He thought II the
business men OF Omaha should make up
their minds to have another exposition they
would carry 1t through to success regardless
Of the opinion OF other parts of the country.
He believed this meeting would be decisive
regarding the project. He said it was a
free r-all meeting and urged all to feel
at liberty to express their opinions. AS the
retailers did not want to monopolize the

ton Rifles armory for the purpose Of rails
ing funds to aid three fellow clerks who
are seriously Ill. They were assisted In
their charitable enterprise by host Of
friends and the affair was the largest OF Its
kind that has been held this season. A
gathering of more than 300 people listened
to the musical selections with which the
program Of the evening was commenced.
There were vocal solos by Miss Genevieve
Croft and Mr.. ]. Stone, a banjo solo by Mas
ter Willie Arrons and a recitation by Miss
Essie Arrons Then Herman Dreyfus and
Helen Firth gave an exhibition cake walk

The grand march was led by Miss Ida

the Board of Review by A. P. Turkey.
Tukey insists that the lots in Clifton Hill

WINDING UP THE EXPOSITION
Next Meeting OF the Board Of d.
rectOrs Has but Little Busi- ?
ness Before 1t.

The next regular meeting Of the Board Of
Directors Of the exposition occurs December
g. and there is no indication that there will
be any occasion for calling the board to-
gether before that time. Since the prop
erty of the association has been disposed Of
there Is no business remaining except such
as pertains to winding up the affairs Of the
different departments, and this is not of
nature to necessitate the attention OF the big
board. The only subject that seems to de-
mand the notice Of the directors is the dis
posal Of the surplus that still remains in
the treasury and 1t Is not likely that any
action will be taken for some time. The en-
tire amount now available is about $123. 900.
and a pay roll which amounts to $4,000 and
bills that aggregate $4,000 are ready for
consideration by the executive committee
today. How much more expense will be in
volved before the affairs Of the association
are closed up is speculative, but 1t Is believed
that nearly 100000 will remain. A small
amount Of this will be required to make
good the rebate on subscriptions that are
paid up before December / and enough will
remain to very nearly pay the remaining
25 per cent on stock.
1t seems very doubtful, however, whether
any further distribution will he made for
some time. The extensive litigation In
which the association is now involved IL
largely responsible for q marked disinclina-
tion on the part Of the principal stockhold-
ers to vote away the money that remains in
the treasury. They fear that In the event
that the cash is disposed Of and that judg-
ments are subsequently, secured against the
exposition, they would be held individually
liable for the entire amount while the bulk
OF the stockholders would escape. Conse-
quently they favor holding the remaining
surplus until the results Of some Of the
principal suits can be Appropriated ~ q
measure Of safety for the association.
The final act in completing the dissolu-
tion of the Indian congress at the exposition
grounds was consummated yesterday. when
Bill Liddard shot and killed the buffalo, U.
S. Grant, that was one Of the attractions dur
| ing the summer. The buffalo was bull
years old and was very ferocirus. During
the exposition he nearly killed half a dozen
Indians and wounded several horses tina,
came too close to his horns. The animal
was owned by the United States government
and was part and parcel Of the Indian con.
gress. Captain Mercer, who was the Gus
todian of the United States property on the
Indian congress grounds, sold the buffalo
so that It has netted Uncle Sam the sum Of
800. Ed Maurer bought the head and hide
while Henery Honniff secured the meat.

ness, the possibilities and dangers Of
the salvation army. What may be

discussion Of matters affecting the

we find in other religious bodies. We

meant is Officers and soldiers coun-
seled." The salvation army, like
every other institution. is imperfect,
but, under the domination of the mill

keep silence conee ming the disquiet-

no occasion for it, Bad men and bad
institutions rightly fear examination,
but the salvation army is sound
enough and strong enough to profit
by an honest exchange Of opinion
among its members in their councils
and publications.

Dromedaries are said to be partie-
ularly fond Of tobacco smoke, and can
be made to do almost anything while
under its influence. Travellers. 1t is as
serted, rely more on tobacco smoke
for their control over these huge
beasts than anything else. When
travelling on long journeys, the drome-
daries are in many CAGES required to
travel night and day without rest, and
they are kept up to their task by smok-
ing cigars. The driver carries TRAN
gu1ar piece OF wood which is pierced
at one point like cigar holder. This
is inserted in the mouth Of the animal
the cigar being lit and pressed into
the hole. The dromedary closes its
eyes and puffs away through its nos
trils until the cigar is burned away.
The indulgence appears to refresh it,
and the keeper has no difficulty in per-
suading the animal to plod onward
without any further rest.
