PLAN AN INDIAN EXHIBIT
Many People in Omaha Have an Interest in
tin Subject.
EXPOSITION OFFICIALS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC

The article publlahed In The Dee on Monday
of thli week regarding a prospective exhibit
t the exposition showing the progress and
development of the American Indian liai
tlrrcd UP a wwil amount of Interest In many
quarters. It him demonstrated the fact that
thire ute a vcty large numhcr of people In
Omaha who have more than n passing In
terest In this subject and that an exhibit
of consldcioblc scope and great Interest
could be Kathercil together with the material
now at hand In Onnha. There are a number
of people In thli city who have extensive
collections. * ome of them of great Milne ,
and nil of them of great Interest to the
Btudrnt of ethnology. Besides this , the uutn-
bet of people who know of other people who
bavo large collections which may bu obtained
at llttlo cost Is simply legion.
President Wattles of the exposition has
been giving this matter considerable thought
recently and has formulated the outline of
n plan which ho think ? Is piomlslng. His
clan contemplates a congressional appropri
ation for an exhibit which shall be In addi
tion to and separate from the exhibit which
the Smithsonian In.UItute and other derail
ments of the fedetal government will un
doubtedly make In the Government biuldlng
Mr Wattles bases his plan on the theory
that the Indians arc the wards of the gov
> ernment , and that the contemplated exhibit
will be an education for the Indians , as
well as for thu students of Indian h'story
and ethnology generally. IIo would have
the Indian exhibit covers a general review -
view of the progress made by the Indian race
elncD the country wa llrst Invaded by the
white man , confining It almost entirely to
the tribes of the transmlsfclsslppl region.
lini'CATlNO THi : INDIAN.
"The theory of the government , " said Mr.
"Wattles In speaking of this matter , "is that
within the next twenty-live years every In
dian will be an laidivldml land owner and be
eelf supporting To forward that plan , the
government ought to take every means to
educate the Indians In the arts of civilisation.
The exposition will he an education for the
Indians If representatives of every tribe
ire gathered lure and are shown the ad-
Miiilages of development over the old man
ners of life before the white man came.
tin re Is no doubt In my mind that a pow
erful ImpteeMlon will be produced upon their
minds which will go a long way toward In-
ducl g them to bo more anxious to adopt that
mode of life which Is offered to them
"As a secondaiy consideration , mich an
exhibit will give all thos.0 Interested In the
advancement of the Indian an opportunltj
to study the chaiacterlhtics of the different
tribes and , Incldentallj , It will be a great
benefit to the exposition. If the Indians vvll
reproduce some of their national gimes and
sports It will offer an opportunity , which
may never como again , to thousands of
people to witness performances of historic
pi It ? Interest.
"I believe the scheme entirely practicable , "
Bald Mr. Wattles , "and I think It should
be taken up and carried through As was
Bjggcsted In The Hee , the people of the east
expect to see and Icirn something of the
Indian when they visit the wcist. It Is as
much a part of our duty to exploit this fea
ture of the west as It Is to show our mining
and agilcultural resources. A western ex
position without the I ml Ian as a prominent
feature would bo like that old , familiar il
lustration of Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
Slncrt this matter has been agitated I find
that the Interest In It la really surprising
nlnl I believe tin- plan can he successfully
carried out If It la properly organized. "

The uirangcment of the buildings on the
main court of the exposition will bo changed
somewhat from the plan originally adopteil
in oidei to mtct the growing demand on
the part of the Dopaitmont of exhibits to ;
more s > pacc In the Manufactures building
This demand , coupled with the fact that
the bids for the construction of the Audi
toilum greatly exceeded the limit of cost
fixed by the executive commllUt , opeiatcd
to cause a change to bo midc which will
add another building to these to be erected
for housing the exposition. This building
will bo known as the liberal Arts building
In order to accommodate It on the main
court and place It near the Manufactures
building , of which It will properly bo an
annex , It was decided by the executive com
mittee at n meeting held jesteiday aftei-
noan to place the Llbcial Arts building on
the r-lte arslgned to the Art building dlrettlj
west of the Manufactures building and bu't
a fovv feet from It This necessitated the se
lection of i new site for the Art building
and It was decided by the committee to ic-
Ject all bli's for the constiucllon of the
Auditorium building and locate the Art
liiildng | on the site formerly assigned to
the Auditorium.
The Liberal Arts building will be ] 30\2IO

for the new building will be drawn b > Tlsher

Ever own a white elephant ? It Isn't the
easiest thing In the world to get hold of In
the first place , and once you've got him ho
becomes somewhat of a responsibility and
care. Not that he Is any more delicately
constructed than black elephants , but you
will Imagine that he Is more susceptible to
cold. ) and all sorts of troubles because ho
will cost you so pinch money that jou can
never quite forget his extreme value.
For rnoro than four jears special agents
of the Rlngllng Brothers' World's Greatest
Shows scoured India and lUlrrnah , looking
for what has generally been believed to be
a mythical animal. Ono was exhibited In
ho United States many years ago , but he
vas EO palpably a fake that the amusement-
going public simply laughed at the show
man who exhibited him and took It as a
? oed joke. It has been a matter of history ,
lowevcr , for years , that white elephants
lid exist In the Orient. That they were
slrnpl > albinos was generally understood by
naturalists. Albinos exist In all animal
rlbes to a greater or less extent , therefore ,
why should not an albino elephant be
ound ? The Idea that there Is anything sa
cred about a white elephant Is a pure fal-
acy , to bo sure , although the Brahmins
and Buddhlsto believe that a white elephant
s the reincarnated spirit of a defunct priest
of the temple and respect him accordingly.
The agents for the Messrs. Rlngllng found
three white elephants In various temples In
Jurmah , but the matter of their sale or pur
chase would not be listened to for a mo
ment. The natives would as lief sell their
reat god Buddha. A fourth was heard of
-n the remote Interior , and was said to bo
the property of a Portugese trader. After
months of weary Journeying the trader was
: ound and albo the white elephant. He was
a pure albino , about 7 > ears old , and at the
present time stands about five feet high. His
; jcs are of the usual pinkish hue , noticeable
in all alblncs ; his skin is very soft for an
elephant and is of that peculiar light mouse-
color of the prevailing st > llsh spring Fedora
lat not pure white , but nearly BO. Kcdrtah
: or that Is the white elephant'e name , lives
in regal stjle now. The matter of hla pur
chase In Bunnah and his subsequent trans
portation to the coast and thence to Snn
Ptanclsco would make nn Interesting tale
Ho is the cutest , piettlcst , most entertaln-
ng elephant ever exhibited anywhere , and Is
[ ho pet of all who see him. As a menagerie
Teaturo ho has proven the best drawing card
: ho show has over had , and his name Is upon
every tongue ; on show day , wherever the
big show goes.
The Rlngllng show will exhibit In Omaha
Monday , AugUht 23 at a and 8 p. in. Doors
open at 1 and 7 p. m. Grand free show and

A couple of sharpers are working a good
graft upon the fanners and the unsophisti

and thlo city on the tialns that cross the
Union Pacific bridge Into the union depot.
The last victim was George W. Bonnell of
Dunlap , la. , who was ( llmflammcd out of
$15 on one of the trains Tuesday mornIng -
Ing Bonnell Intended to go through the
city without stopping , but he Is hero jet
and searching for his money. He Is being
escorted about the streets by a couple ot
detectlvea , In the vain hope that the partj
will run across the confidence men. Bonnell
was riding In a scat behind -nell-drcEscd
men. Shortly after the train left the trans
fer on the other oldo of the river one ol
tht to men said to the other that he would
like to change t > nrnc small bills for a couple
of $10 bills , as ho wished to bend some
money aw ay ,
Ujiinell heard this conversation , as It wat
Intended that lie should. IIo was primed for
tin- game Leaning over he remarked to the
hppitkcr
"fay , mister , I've got a couple of $10 bills
that I will give > ou. "
The trunwctlon was made very speedily ,
llonnoll handed over his Mils and the
stranger counted out In his hand what Hound
thought WDH $20 In small bills. He put the
wnd Into his pocket without recounting It
The remainder of the Journey to this citj

Neighbors and frlfcnrt ay that the death
of John Peterson , T ho o lifeless body was
found near Seventh-ami Leaven worth etrecta
at 5:30 : o'clock Tuwflnr rooming , mas the
result of neglect ou.Uli * part of the county
authorities. This is/ftlan the opinion of tbo
police who have Investigated the case.
"TTip man was allowed to die like a dog ,
although h's case hall ( been several times re
ported to the county commissioners , ' said
one of the high ofllclals In the police de
partment.
"Tho ir.an would ipjrobably have died as
a result of his asthmatic trouble eventually ,
but ho should have been removed from the
conditions In which he was and he might
mvo lived some time , " stated City Phjslclan
Spaldlng , who reported the case to a county
commlpflioner on the day before the death of
the man , and secured a promise that the
case would be attended to at once.
Peterson was a laborer and lived In a little
ehanty In the rear of S07 South Seventh
street. He was out of work , was without
noney and had no friends who could assist
ilm. For some wecke he had been troubled
with asthma and possibly consumption
The former complaint prevented him from
sleeping , At on early hour every morning
le arose and went out to get fresh air. Htf
was feeble and was able to barely stumble
about. Tuesday morning lie was on one of
these trips. His footsteps were feeble He
stumbled over a projecting board and fell on
ils face. He probably fractured a blood
vessel and died In the position In which he
fell.
fell.Only the day before the accident the case
was reported to City Phjslclan Spaldlng.
He visited Peterson and found him In a bad
condition. The srnoko from the smelter and
the other establishments In the vicinity ag
gravated the asthma , with which he was af
flicted. The physician decided that the man
nlist be removed from the lowlands to the
hills , on which the county hospital Is lo
cated. He met Commissioner Klcrstead a ul
told him that the case must be attended teat
at once CommlFs'oaer KlerstcaJ did his duty
referring the matter to Commt slcricr
Ostrom. who has charge of such cases. Com-
mlrsloner Ostrom referred the matter to
County Agent Askwllh. with Instructions to
Investigate. Before the Investigation was
made Peterson was dead ,
According to County Agent Askwlth , how
ever the case had already been Investl-
allied. He sajs that about two weeks ago
lie examined into It and made a report to
the county commissioners. No steps , how
ever , were taken to have the man cared
lor or to remove him to the county hospital.
Frlonila and acquaintances of the dead man
say that they reported the man's condition
to the county commissioners some six weeks
ago. After that the case was again called
lo the attention of the county authorities ,
but nothing beyond the Investigation was
ever doce.
It heals everything except a broken heart ,
may be said of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve.
Piles and rectal diseases , cuts , burns ,
bruises , tetter , eczema and all skin troubles
may bo cured by It quickly and perma

TriiHtccH for Stjitc Institution * Meet
In Oinnhii.
George W. Doane , J. J. Cardvvcll a.nd B.
r. Allen , members of the ) ) POrd of trustees
for 'the ' Institute for thD Blind at Nebraska
City and the Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb at Omalia , held a meeting lu this
tlty yesterday afternoon. The meeting was
called to consider some accounts at these
Institutions and to confirm an appointment
to the kindergarten department of the In
stitute for the Blind made by Prof. Jones.
It waa not the Intention of the board to
take up any other matters , but Governor
Ilolcomb came up from Lincoln and met
with the members , and he suggested other
matters which should be considered , among
them the late report by the expert upon the
books of the Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb in this city.
The governor was asked concerning the
pooslblllty of the appointment of a now
superintendent of th'a Institution , and he
replied. "My action in that regard will be
governed a good deal by the
result of the meeting this after
noon. I do not mean that the
course I shall take will be settled at this
meeting , but I will consult with the mem
bers of the board and will then take their
suggestions under consideration. An ap
pointment will be made within a few dajs ,
cither ot Prof. Glllespio to succeed him
self , or some new man. Under the law
pas > sed by the last legislature the Institute
will have to be reorganised and the officers
reappolnted. and If I decide that Mr. Gil-
lesplo is the right man to be continued
there ho will be reappointed , otherwise It
will be a new man , and the appointee can
then reorganize under the new law according
to his own plans.
'There are a number of candidates for
the position , and have been for several
jears. Among them are Prof. Dawes for
merly connected with the Lincoln schools ,
nnd latterly with the Institute for the Blind
at Nebraska City ; A. K. Goudy of Lincoln ,
formerly ttoto superintendent of public in
struction , and O. P. Dalvs , an attorney at
Lincoln.
Superintendent Glllespio appeared before
the board during the se lon and asked an
opportunity to explain the apparent Miortago
shown by the report of the expert who re-
cpotly nude an examination of the books of
the Institute. He expressed confidence that
he could explain every transaction lo the
hitlsfnctlon of the board.
Upon thU btatemcnt the board consented
that Mr Glllespio should have the oppor
tunity he askeil for , and ilio governor will
appoint porno one to go over the books with
the superintendent to have the seemUig irreg
ularities made clear. The board expriFEed Us
willingness to be- fair In the matter , and it
is probable that the governor's selection will
be some one who has no bias , either political
or otherwise , toward Uie present management
of the Institution ; and the understanding 4s
that If Mr. Glllosple's. expla latlon shall prove
to bo as ho claims , that he will be recom
mended by the board for reappolntment. and
the governor will accept the decision.
This examlnatlonw\lll ( \ be made at once , and
upon Us completion ) the board will hold an
other meeting , at wlilt.h action will bo taken ,

AVhlle the communication of City Engineer
Uosewater In regard to the unsafe condition
of the Sixteenth street viaduct bos not been
acted on by the city council , Mr. Rosewater
will see the Omaha Street Railway com
pany oincials at once and try to Induce them
to run their trains to South Omaha by wa >
of Thirteenth street , ilr. Rosewater sajs ,
"Tho viaduct has reached a htage of decay
at which I am unwilling to take any further
chances against the possibility of a collapse
which would In all probability be attended
by a terrible catastrophe. The stiucture was
built eleven years ago and was never de-
slsncd to bear thu stialn of carrjlng hl-avj
motor trains. It not long ago outlived Us
natural period of usefulness and Is now In
such a condition that any further attemp *
to bolster It up by temporary repairb Is In
expedient. The piling is much decajed and
a large portion of the wood work that was
not renewed when it was repaired three jears
ago is also much rotted. A new viaduct Is
the only piacMcal solution of the difficulty
and this Is the best possible time to build
the now structure. South Sixteenth sticet I >
torn up anyway on account of the repavlng
and if the new viaduct is built this fall , It
will prevent having traffic driven on" the
street again next jear. It will also bo much
more convenient for Hie Omaha Street Rail
way company to pave between Its tracks on
South Sixteenth etrcet If it Is not embar
rassed by the continual passage tack and
forth of the trains. "
In discussing the probable plans for the
new structure Mr. Roievvater said , "I would
recommend a decidedly heavier viaduct than
any of these previously constructed. I
favor narrowing the roadway , to thirty feet
from curb to curb , exclusive of the sidewalks
nnd then making the viaduct heavy enough
to bear asphalt or stone paving. None of the
pie cnt viaducts were constructed with a view
to bearing the modern heavy motors nnd ns
traffic is continually growing heavier thu
viaducts that ore to cairy It must be of
a more substantial design. It Is time that
Omaha lied viaducts stiong enough , to handle
traffic of any sort and eve > which teams can
be driven at any sort of a pace without men
aclng the stability of the structure. "
The prospective closing of the viaduct
means another stroke of hard luck for the
piopeity owners and business establishments
on South Sixteenth street , who already claim
more than their share of It. Th ce > eani ago
the street was practically closed to travel
for several months while the viaduct was
. being repaired and all this summer the
, travel has been driven off the street by the
condition of the pavement and the delay In
rcpuvlng on account of on Imperfect peti
tion. Now It appears certain that the street
cuts will bo again taken off the street for a
period of at leant several months and the
huslnc ° fl of the street will again suffer It
Is contended , however , that It will be much
. better for the property owners to have the
j new viaduct built now while thu street la
torn up than to wait until next year If tlio
work is all oino at once , they will bo secure
from Intel ruptlon for a numbe" of years there
after and with a new pavement and a new
viaduct the ) will bo In a position to experi
ence the full benefit of the exposition ,
