pared to refute his testimony and prove II
untrue. Judge Smith then ordered the

SPECIAL DAYS AT OMAHA
The Old Bay State Well Represented
More to Follow

Mrs. Virgins writes as follows concern
Ing the special days designated by the man.
agement for the various states at Omaha:
For over a week, barring one days rain,
the weather at the Trans Mississippi and
International Exposition has almost equal
ed the glorious days Of California Yester-
day was Massachusetts, day. and that
grand old state sent on fifty or more OF her
finest representatives, ite lieutenant gov
ernor, governor and staff, legislators. etc.
Governor Holcomb, of Nebraska, made the
address of welcome. His speech was fol-
lowed by just such cultured speeches as
was expected from Massachusetts,. Later
several Of these Representatives visited the
Los Angeles county exhibit They were
pleased beyond measure. Many OF our
Boston guests have visited California, and
they Immediately recognized the Old
arches and heavy walls which bound the
Los Angeles county space as composite
picture OF California missions. The deco
rations of products. the original and beau
tiful installation Of the exhibit are great
reminders Of California to all who have WIS.,
tied there, for, carrying away with them
beautiful recollections, they appreciate Its
exhibit.
To-day we have the Texas editors;
Thursday Is the formal opening Of the girls
and boys building; Friday, Iowa day; so
we are kept pretty busy entertaining, but
realize more and more every day that Cali
fcrnia Is very entertaining subject. The
National Republican league convenes here
tomorrow. OF the Los Angeles delegates
G. P. Adams has arrived. About 1000 Of
these delegates are expected here to attend
the convention.
THE management Of the exposition feels
elated over the success of the enterprise.
The gate receipts are encouraging. and
they are making for themselves grea.
reputation for pluck and progress. The
spring rains have brought about such a
development OF this section of country as
is seldom seen, and the exposition has al
ready been a great ad. for Nebraska To
say that Los Angeles county is making a
great hit for herself is to say no more
than was foreseen by her enterprising cit
liens, who sent the exhibit here. OF all
the states in the Union, California would
be most expected to be in evidence at a
Trans Mississippi exposition. 1t Is the
first effort Of the west to show the world
what 1t can do as a section; hence Los An
geles county has made a happy hit in being
prominent with her attractive exhibit"

an Injunction to restrain w. g. McGinty

Fred Knudson, the street preacher, was
tried by Justice Owens yesterday on a
charge Of disturbing the peace. 1t appears
that Knudson is a preacher with a voice
which would cause Z Midway Plaisance

he begins to soar he raises the surround
ing roofs. Mrs. Van Bicher Of 81 West
Fifth street made complaint against Knud-
son, as did other residents in the neighbor-
hood Of Fifth street and Broadway. The
case was taken under Amusement. Knud.
son left the court room a sadder and q
wiser man. He declared that he had seri-
Gus thoughts Of abandoning the Los An.
geles people to the pursuit of their wicked
ways. a. they had given him lots Of trou-
