Indians Content with Conditions.

The Indians have become accustomed to
the cold weather and now they are ap-
parently as happy as they were during the
hot days in July Yesterday they turned
out in their new and warm clothing ana
circulated around more than at any time
since the cold spell came ON. Large guam
titles of dry wood were unloaded at their
tepees yesterday morning and with this
they built rousing fires, dried their cloth
ing and kept themselves warm. For the
present they have discontinued their dances
and sham battles, but they will renew these
features as soon as the weather moderates
sufficiently to permit of their getting out
in their undress uniforms, which have
been the admiration Of so many of the peo-
pie from the east.
Some OF the Indians grew homesick when
the storm came on, hut since they have
been supplied with an issuance of new cloth
ms plenty to eat and an abundance OF
wood, they have settled down and now ap.
pear perfectly satisfied to remain here dur
ing the winter, providing the exposition
management and Captain Mercer should sc
will It. which they will not, as all parties
are anxious to allow the aborlgines to re-
turn TO their homes as soon as they can be
spared

CALLS FOR CHARITY EARLY
winters First Blast Catches Many
Poor People without Coal and
Warm Clothing.

SUNDAYS cold wave and Mondays snow
storm were the harbingers of numerous ap-
plications by the poor and destitute of the
city to the Society of Associated Charities
for aid Ordinarily there are few requests
for provisions or fuel until along about
Thanksgiving day, because the weather be-
fore that time is usually pretty mild, but
this year the early snow storm occasoned
early calls for relief from the cold, and these
calls coming Unexpectedly found the treas
ury of the Associated Charities so nearly
empty that of necessity they were referred
by Secretary Laughland to the county.
The applications were mostly for coal,
about a dozen families being without fuel
to warm their dwelling places, but there
were a few people who were unable to pro-
cure food and these made requests for pro-
visions. Among the applicants there were
no cases of extreme destitution or suffering
and measures to relieve their immediate
needs were taken by the county authorities
at once.
JUST at present the society is experiencing
considerable difficulty in securing a suff-
cient quantity of children's clothing to
answer it's needs. There are great many
small boys and girls attending school whose
parents cannot afford to clothe them prop
erly. The principals and teachers of the
| different schools have applied to the Asso-
ciated Charities for aid for these children
and the workers of the society are now try
ing hard to provide the youngsters with
| suitable garments for winter wear.

The Midway opened up yesterday with
lust as much vim as though there had never
been a cloud in the sky. The spieiers
brushed the snow off their pedestals and
mounted them, commenced to cry the at
tractiye features cf their respective shows
and were doing the same thing when the
lights went out last hight. During the
afternoon the crowds were fair, but fell of
TO some extent during uthe evening, when
the people commenced to seek warm stoves
at their boarding houses preferring TINS 10

One Of the things to which Prof. Attwater
of the Texas exhibit points with considera
BILE pride is the sample of the second cror
raised this year. Standing side by side. he
has corn planted last February and gathered
last June. From the same field he has
samples of the second crop OF corn, planted
in June and picked during the first par
of the present month The second crop is
as well matured and the ears are as large
and perfect as those of the first crop. He
is also showing samples Of two crops o.
Irish and sweet potatoes raised from thu
same tract of ground. The first crop ma
tured in July, while the second was gath
cred a few days ago.
A large consignment OF Texas fruit ant

Had weather for the stock show.

Yesterdays bad weather interfered with the
Judging at the live stock show. During the
afternoon the judges got out and finished
up the work left over from Monday after
noon, but did not touch the new work laid
out for yesterday. Today. If the weather
is fair, Judging will be completed in all OF
the classes. The program for today is:
Grand sweepstakes in cattle for general
purposes Dorset horned sheep, Angora goats
and swine. The fat stock show will come
on as soon as the weather becomes pleas
ant and if nothing interferes, the cattle will
be taken out on parade some time Thurs
day.
The stock in the barns is getting along in
excellent shape Few of the structures leak
and, with plenty of straw for bedding, good
hay and grain, the animals show little
shrinkage.

NEBRASKA READY FOR APPLE DAY.
Five Hundred Bushels Ready to be
Handed Out Today.

over at the Horticultural building every
thing is in readiness for the Nebraska Apple
day, which will be observed this morning,
prior to the holding of the regular Nebraska
day exercises. Five hundred bushels of
apples came in yesterday from the orchards
of the state and were packed away in bar
rels in convenen. places in and about the
Nebraska SPACE The fruit consists Of
dozen different varieties and is fine as
anything heretofore seen in the building.
Last night the apples were piled high on
the tables of the Nebraska space and as the
visitors pass through the building today all
will be abundantly supplied. It is believed
that the apples which have been received
will be sufficient to supply the crowd, but
If they should not the exhibit, which con-
tains nearly 100 bushels. will be robbed.
Idahos carload of fruit was placed on eX
hibition yesterday by superintendent Dris
coll. He was cramoed for room but by
doubling up his tables and piling fruit on
them until it nearly reached the ceiling he
managed to get the most of 1t in place. In
addition to the fruit he received a large
supply of vegetables of all varieties. These
he put in the asles in great heaps and under
the tables.
Senator Dunlap, president of the Illinois
State Horticultural society, has sent on to
Superintendent Stanton something like fifty
bushels of pears for exhibition. He has sent
fruit that has been sprayed and also that
has not been treated. The fruit that has
been treated with the spraying fluid is per-
feet large and free from the effects of the
work of insects. while that that was allowed
to grow without any treatment is almost
worthless. This feature proves of great in
terest to the local horticulturists, who
have all been bothered more or less with
the fruit pests. -.
Taking the exhibit in the Horticultural
building as a whole it is much larger and
finer than at any time since the opening day
OF the exposition. More varieties are being
shown and larger quantities of choice fruit
are on exhibition.

Audience mt the Auditorium shows Its
ApprecintiOn of the Hnnd.


There was a remarkable scene in the Au-
ditorium last night during the progress of
the concert by Innes' band program had
been arranged with especial reference to the
continuation of the German day exercises
The Auditorium was packed to its utmost
capacity when the band played the over
ture from "Tannhauser" for the opening
number. This was followed by the custo-
mary encore. but before the second number
was started there was a cry of Anvil
Chorus" This slogan was taken up and
soon the vast assemblage was unanimous in
demanding the anvil Chorus" the calf be-
ing interspersed with demands for Innes.
The popular bandmaster bowed and smiled
his thanks, but could not be heard in the
tumult. After a short consultation with
Manager Lindsey of the executive commit
tee who was present, Mr.. lines abandoned
his carefully planned program and hastily
arranged to produce the Anvil Chorus"
with the electrical effects. After this had
been given the band played Star Spangled
Banner for an encore number and the wild
est demonstration the Auditorium has yet
seen followed. For fully FIVE minutes the
building rang and reverberated with the
cheers of the people. 1t was as fervent an
outburst of patriotic enthusiasm and pop
ular endorsement OF great muslcal orGani-
zation as was ever seen. Mr. Innes finished
the evening with selections from his original
program.
Innes is busy these days with preparations
for the first production of his new compost
ton. which is to be given for the first time
next Saturday, night and which is entitled
"A Trip TO the Omaha Exposition" This
work it is said. will not only describe mu
sically the ride to the grounds. the gondoa
ride ana the nations as typlfed by their
several exhibits in the International build
ing but wilf faithfully describe in appro-
pirate melodies and queer harmonies the
weird manifestations as witnessed on a tour
of the Midway lines musicians have for
some time past been practicing up on Chi
nese oboes and Egyptian lutes and it is ru-
mored that Innes has arranged with two
or three "spielers' to join in the production
to add TO the realism.

LIBERALS TAKE COUNSEL
Religious Congress Opens in the First
Congregational Church,
WELCOMED BY AN EXPOSITION OFFICIAL
RPbbi Hirscb of Chicago Delivers the
sermon, Outlining the OBJ
jects of the Present
Gathering.

About every seat OF the First Congrega-
tional church was occupied last evening at
the opening session OF the Liberal Congress
OF Religions. The delegates were present in
good number. though not so many as there
VIII be when the congress is more under
wav today and tomorrow. The feature of
the evening was the sermon by Rabbi Z. G.
Hirsch OF Chicago explanatory OF modern
liberalism.
brief address OF welcome by Chairman
Thomas Kilpatrick of the local committee
was the first thing. AS it had been the
privilege of Omaha and Nebraska to keep
oDen house this year he extended welcome
to the hospitality OF the exposition. He
managed to pay a compliment to Rev. Jen-
kin LLOYD Jones, the secretary of the con-
Rress. whom he regarded as "one crying in
the wilderness" in the vanguard OF liberal
ism. far ahead of the "only" two liberal
churches of this city
In the absence of Rev. T. j. Mackay Of
All Saints and Rev. John McQuoid of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, who were
down for addresses of welcome, the main
address OF welcome was made by Hon. W.
g. Whitmore OF Valley. Neb. Many laugh
able points were made by Mr.. Whitmore
in sort OF apology for the position he, a
rustic farmer Of Nebraska had been made
TO take by the invitation of Rev. Newton
NJ. Mann in being placed among ministers
and he observed that, with his present as
sociations. his mind naturally turned to
texts and collections. One gentle sarcasm
OF the speaker was that whilst doctors OF
divinity. rabbis and rectors were expected
to be good for 81, 900 and $40, 900 year lay
men have to be good for-nothing, and some
succeed! Moody had once found a man who
refused to hold up his hands when the great
revivaist told all who wanted to go to
heaven to do so. Asked why, the mans an
swer was that he wanted to go to heaven
all right but not in that crew." Mr.. Whit
more's application of this was that he was
willing 10 go to heaven In the liberal crew.
