exhibits at Omah * . The material collected
for llio Atlanta and Nashville expositions Is
on hand , and will bo supplemented by popu
lar subscription. The railroads wilt h
on transportation and tirobably add Important
exhibits of their own. Assistant Gioeral
Superintendent J , 6. I ) . Thompson ot the
Southern rallnay , President Thomas K. Scott
ot the Georgia railway , President George C
Smith of the Atlanta & West Point nnd West
ern of Alabama railways , and Charles E ,
Ilarman , general rafisengcrugcnt ot the Wc-st-
cru & Atlantic railroad , nro members ot the
Btoto commission , and will use the strength
at their positions to promote the success ot
the Georgia exhibit. The Southern railway ,
Western ft Atlantic and Georgia railway have
fine collections , and the Georgia exhibit will
doubtless ba the nucleus ot a fine display
from the railroad or the Piedmont states ,
Georgia , 'the Carollnas and Alabama.
Governor Atkinson enthusiastically says :
"I will do all In my power to make this the
best exhibit Georgia has ever had at an ex-
ooslllcn. Wo have on hand material U would
ccet $15,000 to duplicate , that \\c can easily
bring up to data and siiglomcat. If a
creditable exhibit la started I will ask Icr a
Georgia day nnd will go there to fee the
stale \\cll represented. In that event I
would take a military escort equally as Im
posing , It not more so , than the state had
at Nashville on Gocrgla day. "

and muslin bodice. The hat Is a soft corded
muslin , with white ribbons and cluster ot
blue forgct-me-noi * .

ton lace ot priceless value. It Is more than

Is In sections and Is pinned on every night
very carefully. Deep cuds of the same reach

big auditorium was packed and then peopl
stood around the edges. Daniel Terry"
melodrama , "Guy Mannerlng , " was the am
bilious effort which ths amateur actors per
formed , and they handled this quite dlfflcul
play with considerable credit to themsslve

As soon as the board convened , Gilbert M.
Hitchcock of the World Publishing
company addressed the members , saying :
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen : The ap
plications of Goodley F. Brucker and M. Well-
stein & Co. were made eo early that I think
the question of the matter of good faith will
eettle these cases. That Is to say , they
were both made before this board called at
tention to the records. And from what I
have heard individually. I am satisfied that
Mr. Brucker and Mr. Wollsteln both have a
defense based upon good falHi. "
To this Attorney SImeral replied : "Mr.
Wollsteln will not plead good faith. "
Mr. Hitchcock I shall therefore not under
take to try these casea , but will withdraw
the protests. I have a different reason for
not going Into tbcso cases , because the
World-Herald has always desired not to ap
pear In the light of unnecessarily harassing
liquor dealers of this city , and has almost
Invariably taken the position of merely pro
tecting those who depended upon tue World-
Herald. Therefore , at this time , In making
out a record , and In making the test cases ,
I prefer to bo upon the defensive ; merely as
serting our rights under the law and pro
tecting those who advertised in the World-
Herald. I therefore withdraw thcso three
protests.

World-Herald as another. The great body of
newspaper subscribers In Douglrs county , Mr.

statement verified the caavass made by The
Dee carriers. The circulation of ttio paper
had not changed materially since February ,
1897 , thouqh , If anything. It was less. The
Dee carriers , who made the canvass ot the
city and South Omaha , had no knowledge of

Morning Dea was about the same as tbat o
