In a few days he will o to Fresno,where he will do what he can toarouse the wine, raisin and fruit growers to the importance of making exhibits at Omaha. From there he will go to Los Angeles, San Diego and other places. San Francisco, how- ever. will be his headquarters. “Omaha, the city where this great ex- position is to be held, is the center of a poruiation of 20,000,000 people,” said Mr. McAusland yesterday. tng to advance the great enterprise and push it to a successful conclusion is as- sured. The Legislatures of Nebraska, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon- tana, Utah, Arkansas and New Mexico have already indorsed the project and made provision for extensive participa- tion in the exposition, while the Federal Government has appropriated $200,000, and the Senate of Iilinois has just passed a bill appropriating $50,000 ior a similar purrose. “Presiagent Diaz has informed. us that Mexico will be represented by as com- plete and interesting an exhibit as was ever presented to the outside worid. It is certain that the Old ‘Worid countries will also be represented. “The main buildings will be located | around a central court on a rectangular tract = half mile long. Across the entire length of this court will extend a lagoon from 150 to 300 feet wide, terminating at the west end in a broad circular body of water, ‘The Mirror,” and at the east enda in anotuer extensive crystal sheet, ‘The Harbor.” Overlooking ‘The Mirror’ will stand the bronzc-domed architectural pile erected by the Federal Government, while flanking it along either bunk will extend spacious colonnades connecting it with the Agricuitural building on the north and the Spectatorium on the south. Stretch- ing beyond these and overlooking the la- goon will be several of the other main buildings of the exposition. “‘On opvosite sides of the grand canal in the center of the tract will stand the imposing arch of the States, the main en- trance to the grounds, and the arch of the administration opening on the beauti- fully landscaped park leading to the trans-Mississippi midway. Rising above the electric grottos dotting tl:e overhang- ing banks of ‘The Harbor’ 1s the ap- proach to the great viaduct leading to the grand esplanade and amusement grounds at the exireme east end of the exposition tracton the bigh bluff overlooking the valley of the Mi-souri. Another viaduct to the northward returns to the npper end of the midway and to the stnletic park and the livestock and irrigation sec- tion~ beyond. The general arrangemert is such as to admit of great architectural elaboration. “The proposed mobilization of the National Guard of the entire country and a large percentage of the regular army at Omaha during the late summer or fall of 1898 promises to be one of the grandest features in connection with the exposi- tion. IL is the intention to secure the presence of betwe'n 75,000 and 100,000 troops 1n the grand military camp. Nebraska will spend $1,000,000 on the ex- position herself."” Mr. McAusland’s headquarters are at 17 New Montgomery street, where he will be pleased to see all callers and receive com- munications. He desires to communicate in person as far as po-sible with persons and organizations in regard to the expo- sition. The Revenue Record Lroken.

A new European colony has effected a seitlement at Somerville, just opposite the Fitchburg Ruilroad "depot. The undesirable immigrants are known as brown-tail moths. The brown-tail moth wiil eat up several timesits own weight every day of its life. This is the first sea- son that the brown-tail nioth bas made itself voraciously knowu, although some nearby residents say they think they saw *“a few’’ some two or thrce years ago. But now their *‘feedine grounds”’ have been extended over an area ha!fa mile in width and a mile in length. Their numbers on a single tree are est/mated to be between 5000 ..nd 10,000. There is no denying their voracity, and the destruction ihey have @one may be seen by any one who will make the shoft i‘évurney tc Somerville by the Fuchburg Railroad. Some of the :rees there are denuded of leaves and look as bare and denuded as one expec'sto Not content with eat- ing up the leaves of the trees, the brown- tail moths have taken po-session of the tences, along which they crawl in search of something to devour.—Boston Herald.

Her husband, Giusto Pertigera, a junk- dealer, hving at 11134 Gilbert street, ¢alled at the hospital an bour jater and saw his wife. Then he went to the prison and took his two children away with him. He said that bis wife had been insanely jealous of him for the past two years with- out cause and had given him endless trouble. Of late she had been acting aueerly and telling the neighbors that he was abusing her, but they all knew it was not true. She is his second wife, and he has a son living by his first wife.

Farish Says Yreka, Alder Gulich and Other P.aces Had More Geold Than Kiondyke. William F. Farish, the widely known mining engineer and expert of Denver, formerly oi California, but for many years connected with Millionaire David Moffatt and other leading men of Colorado, is at the Palace. He has just returned from a visit to Nicaragua and Honduras, where he went i comypany with Wiiliam Lawrence, manager of all the coal mines of the Union Pacific Railroad. Mr. Lawrence and associates desired to buy a large gol!d property in the south and Mr, Farish went down to examine 1t. Mr. Yarish seys the property examined is a quartz proyosition comprising about 2000 acres at Potosi. It has a big vein, the gold belt appearing to be a little over a mile in width. A bond was taken on it and it will be developed. Mr. Farish will be remsmbered by old Californians as the man who discovered | the big nugget in Sierra County in 1869, which he aiterward sold to R. B.-Wood- ward for $25,000. In connection with this and th- great piacer mines of Klondvke, Alder Gulch, Yreka, Black Hilis and other places, Mr. Farish said: “The Kiondyke mines appear to be very rich, but are not more so—in fact, not so rich 'so far as at present reported, as the mines of Yreka were, or certain places in Tuolumne County, orin the Black Hills or Montana.. What they took out there was wenderful. - The little basins they came from were phenomenal. *It may be ihat the gold of the Klon- dyke will be found to extend over a very large area, however, and if so the country will be very rich. There is one good thing: the 1im of the bedrock is tipped up, so that it catches and retains all the gold, which was not the casein California. Lots of our gold, therefore, was washed away. *As to the finds in the Klondvke, how- ever, big as they are, they have been oui- done in many of our Western placer dig- gings. Why, I took out, myself, by the aid of two men, on Sentember 1, 1869, 212 pounds of gold, avoriunois weight, and this gold was worth $19 70 an ounce. *I found the large nugget in the Monu- mental claim, in Sierra County, which weighed 106 pounds, and which I sold to Mr. Woodward for $25,000. I believe Mr, Woodward paid at that time about $5000 more than its valae, because of his desire to possess it as a curiosity.”’ —_— To Doctor Them. BERKELEY, Car., July 31.—Dr. Kirby Smith, a formerly well-known Berkeley physician, in company with John Scuul z, left this afternoon on the steamer Wil- lamette for the gold fields of Aluska. The doctor intends to practice his profession at Dawson City. Schultz is a druggist and wok along with him a quantily of medicine. As far as is known they consti- tute the first physician and druggist to leave for the Alaskan fields from this sec- tion. e S No Gold on the Walla Walla. The steamer Walla Walla arrived from Seattle yesterday morning, but her con- nections from Juneau were such that she brouzht no news of the rush there, and no Klondykers or Yukon goid came with her. T'he Ciiy of Topeka, which connected with the Walla Wa:..a at Seattle left Ju- neau July 21, when only one steamer with the advance guard of the new rush had arrived there from ihe sou'h, and no im- portant news came by ihe City of Topeka. gl i ol McClatchy’s Opinion of Juneau.

Ofcourse hisinherited and acquired weaith must be considerable. A man who givea even one giit of u miltion dollars to a public object must have property that the areat mass of his fellow-citizens cannot belp regarding as large. But the fact is obscured by the character, ~the spiri:; the aim of |'the man, in truth, by the man himseif. | In a time when great wealth excites so much commeni, whei: the ignorant envy |its owners and some of the educated are | devising schemes to check its accumula- tion and even to aivide it, it is no small sarvice to the. rublic that an example | shonld be se of wealth utterly forgotren in the personali'y of its possessor. To Mr. Low his monev has been literally what people li-hily call it—ample means.
