Why It Should ‘Be Organized and How Conduocted. SOME EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION. Business Men and Others Give Their Views Upon the Subject—The Necessary Special At- tractions, Waking Up the Merchants. W[t is mot too early to start out in s sys- tematic manner to signalize fair week this year in a magnificent manner,” said & mer- chant who has been as noted for his lack of public spirit as he has for his ability to save the dollars he earns. “I admit,” said he, to @ friend who was surpriscd at the announce- ment, *“that I have not been much before the public. But I have changed my mind. If T could do it mow, I would get ffty of our leading merchants together, fifty men who have been as careless as I have been and tell them what they ought to do,and then we might have a magnificent show.” “In St. Louis, during fair week, there is an attraction every night. ‘Thesoattractions e witnessed by thousands of people and tho city reaps the benetit of several millions of dollars. Give the people of the country and surrounding cities something to see and they will come and s They St. Louis, New Orloans, Chicago, and Il know how those citics reap their hurvest. ‘Phe spoaker was & merchant who has al- ways boen public spirited but who is weary of the inactivaity of some of his brothers who, whils accumulating wealth, take little interest in public displays. “What attractions can we offer the coun- try people?” said a well-known enterprising capitalist repeating Tun Ber man's query. “Why, we can offer a hundred attractions. In the first {ilm, let us set upon one week as “Carnjyal Week. Let us decorate our housel’ and stores like Denver does. That catches the visitor's eye. It makes him feel that we are happy and interested in the move. If there are no decorations, it looks to him as if we were not interested. He loses rourage and loses intorest, also, and then goes home. “Thon we ought to sist upon the Omaha Farr association giving us a magnificent dis- lay. Iv ought not to bo & pumpkin-shelf hing. It ought to be something and every- thing savoring of novelty. Whatever is new should be placed before the people. ““Plho races ought to be, as Iam sure they will be, fine, {udzlnw from the list of entries Tre Bee published. “‘Every merchant and manufacturer should make a display and working exhibit in the Coliseun expot Each also should pur- chase tickets and scatter them among his country friends and customers. Suppose 20,000 ' tickets were so aistributed, thay would bring 15,000 people to town. “We should have another “Drummers’ Day" during the fair. That parade com- rised tho finest body of men I've seen in my ive. The traveling men of Nebraska ought o Lo told that we want them to come again. “You remember that we had on the sam day a grand merchants’ display. Well wi ought ta have anotner. We can do it. Don't u remember the great one we had when the last bridge was opened ! “On auother day during the week we should have a manufacturers' display ou the streets. None but working outfits should be allowed ana we could turn out 200 floats if Tux Bue would only agitate this matter. ‘We make everything here from a baby stool to burglar-proof baak vaults. I would let Councll Bluffs merchants and manufacturers in these aisplays. “Another day I would have s parade of the irades unions of this aty, It would show thieir unanimity wnd strength and ad- vertise the bone, sinew, brain and wmuscle which are building up Omaha, the finest city fu this part of the country. 1 want the board of trade to wakeup. 1 W hem to encourage the *“‘Merchants’ week” plan. Some of them are not doing it. Some of them are opposivg it on personsl grounds. I may tel you sowethiug abou this soon if some men don’t change their tac- tics. “For another day show I would havo an attraction on tho river. Iwould have a couple of old scows purchased, loaded with sand or ragsand anchored in the river. I would get two of the Patrick torped invention of Mr. Patrick c” this city, you know, and explode them unaer the scows. Such a sight would attract thousands, “\For a night attraction we ought to have allegorical displays, floats reprosenting the history of Omaha and Nebraska, & moro in- teresting subject could not be illustrated. It could be easily done, and even outside towns might be atlowed to enter. Manager Sackett oupht to get to work on this right away. “Another night attraction would be mounted guards in uniform from every ward in the city. 'The uniforms wouldnt cost much, and torohes could be easily supplied, Look at our mammoth political parades last fall, and ask 1f we can'v do something of this kind. ““For a third night attraction, there ought to be several thousand dollars worth of fire- works shot off from the New York Life and the Bee building. These would be scen all over the city. . “1f oven some of these suggestions be car- ried out you will find people will come to Omaha, both by day and night, and the motor 'line il help to depopulate Council Bluffs every evening.” operation Desired. At a joint meeting of the Omaha Fair and Exposition association and the Coliseum Building association yesterday, the follow- ing resolutions were adopte: Resolved; By the boards of managers of the two associations, that it is the sense of this meeting that the Merchants’ Week as- sociation bo und_is hereby cordially invited 10 co-oporate with these associatons for the purpose of making the first week in Septem- ber, at which time the annual agricultural fair will bo held, and also the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ exhibition in the Colis- soum building, 8 wesk of splendid attrac- tions, and such a week of interest exhibitions as will form a great event in the history of Omaha, WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT. Views and Interviows Caught in Hotel Corridors and Klsewhere. 0. W. Axson, the expert who was examin- ing the records of Cuming county, who was in the city yestorday, was interviewed by & Bee reporter. He states that there is mani- fest injustico done to several of the officials of that county. That Mr, Stuefer, who was one of tho ost prominent men in that county, is represented as_being a defaulter to the extent of some $1,300. The fact is that he Is only indebted to 'the county to a sum less than 830, and the items making that amount were foes received by him after he had retired from the office. Without making careful examination of the book, he would not know that the county was entitled to & portion of the fees. In the case of Mr. Thiele, the present clerk there has be en a misunderstanding be- tween him and the board of supervisors, and he is not being allowed the amount due him upon the tax list for 1888, There- fore, thero be no question as to his integrity, With reference to Mr. Ragoss and Mr, Sherer, thore seems to be a donbt as to bow great perquisites of the ofiice of county clerk they were entitled to. 'The construction of the law with many of the officials of this state has veen con- strued 80 as to render the meaning that the $400 allowed by statute to the clerk has been considered as av addition to the salary of 81500 allowed by law. In regard to Mr. Shorer, he evideutly construea the law that way, as he was the first clerk thut turped in any excess fees in that county. Had he ap- plied for an assistant to his deputy, there is no doubt that the cominissioners would have allowed it. Mr. Stuefor was eotitled to a deputy and had made application for the same, but by neglect the saia deputy had failed to spread the same on the minutes. The editor of the Burlington Junc- tion (Mo.)

Revenue Agent Spaulding’s Report Will Be Acted Upon. Collector of Internal Revenue Peters re- ceived a communication from United States Commissioner Mason at Washington, yester- day morning, notifying him thav the depart- ment had received Inspector Spaulding's re- port of the peculations of the late local chief clerk,John C.Calhoun so far as they have been aggregated and disposed of. It further in- structs Colonel Peters to lay all the facts in the case before United States Attoruey Pritchett, for such action as_the interests of the government require, calling his atten- tion especiully to the provisions of section 5497, revised statutes, as wmended by the aot February 38, 1889, Among other things this section provides: “And any officer counected with or em- ployed by the internal revenue service of tho nited States, and any assistant of such offi- cer, who shall embezzle or wrongfully con- yert to bis own use ay money or property of the Unitea States #fil' any officer of the United States, or any assistant of such oficer, , who sball embezzle or wrongfuly converf to his own usé any money or prop- erty which may have ¢ome into his poses- 8100 or under his cottrol in the exccution of such office or jemployment, or un- der color or , claim of author- ity of such officer or assistant, whether the samé 'Bhall be the money or property of the United States or of some other person or propérty, shall, where the offense is not otherwise punishable by some statute of the United States, be punished by a fine equul to the value of the money and property thus embeggiahor converted, or fm- prisonment not leds ‘than three months or more than three yehrs,’or by both such fin and imprisonment.

No bid was received trom the company itself, but one from W. J. Mc- Gillen, 1ts old’ general manager, of $35,200. The money will be paid ' into ' the court, which will disburse all indel entailed thus far, and which proo not leave much of a balunce to be litigated for iu November. This $36,500 is tue bid for 413 head of thoroughbred, registered cattle, now being held by the receiver.

The attorney for the defense claimed that the property was worth at least 50,000, and would be sacrificed at the price accented. George H. Gould, of Oakland, Cal., bid $20,000 for the entire property. Judge Dundy also issucd an’_order to the receiver, Josepn Deiss, of the Nebraska Tilo and Pottery company, to receive bids for the plant of the company, including lease for ground and _all machinery and fixtures at their yards in Omaha; said bids to be filed on or bafore July 28, 1889, United States Marshal Slaughter has re- coived a warrant for William Hand, who is under arrest av Fort Niobrara for killing one of the trumpeters at the post.
