( he same bench occupied by her IniS'
band , though a distance ot something like
ten feet separated them. The Judge was busy
and could' not take up their case at once
and for n time they sat upon the hard bench ,
fltnrlng Into vacancy. Tlnally Weber looked
over nt Mrs , Weber nnd ehc returned the
look. They looked again and then tlicy
nmllcd , ono at the other. The court no
ticed thcso looks that vvero passed from one

progress of the case before him , said : "Don't
you people think that you had bettor drop

they agreed that It would be a good thing to

Governor Richards , Prof. Frank Graves
vice president of the exposition for Wyom
Ing , and State Engineer Elwood Mead con
stltuted a committee- Wyoming peopli
which arrived In Omaha jcstcrday lor th
purpose of making arrangements for Wyom
Ing's exhibit at the exposition. The partj
was met at the depot by a committee o
directors ot the exposition , Including Presl
dent Wattles , J. E. iMarkol , C. W. Lyman
Dudley Smith , Thomas Klloatrick and R. S
[ Wllcox. The visitors were taken In carriage ;
, to the Mlllard hotel , where Manager Klrkcn
dall Joined the party and after a wait of i
few moments the carriages were rc-entcrc <
and a trip made to the exposition ground )
via Sherman avenue. Entering the gati
at the south side of the main court n clrculi
of the Kountzo tract was made , the visitor !
expressing great pleasure at the substantla
evidences on every side of the magnitude ol
the enterprise. The beauty of the building !
was commented upon In a manner nnttcliif
to the promoters of the exposition , and th (
visitors confessed that they were surprised
at the largo scale on which the preparation ;
were being made.
At the Mines building the party alighted
and entered the staff shop , where the visitor'
manifested considerable Interest In the man
ufacture of the martie-llke ccatlng for the
buildings. The bluff tract was also v.'ulteil
and the beauty o ! the location admired ,
Active work was In progress on the Ne
braska and Illinois sMto buildings and on
the Horticultural building.
After looking over the grounds the party
returned to the hotel , where the vlsltore
wore entertained at luncheon by the ex
ecutive committee , while the object of the
visit of the Wyoming delegitlon was ella-
cursed and an understanding reached re
garding the exhibit. ? to be made bj the state
GOVERNOR RICHARDS' IDEA.
Previous to the meeting with the executive
committee Governor Richards discussed the
situation In the rotunda of the Ml.lard.
"Our people want to make a state ex
hibit , " said the governor , "and we have
rnadu such arrangements are p-vslblc In
order to do so We are here now to learn
just what Is expected ot us so that we may
know w-ae'her we will be able to comply
with the conditions Our legislature failed tc
make any appropriation for an exhibit and
wo are compelled to rely upon private con
tributions. After discussing 1810 mutter
amcng ourselves we hit upon the only plan
that seemo practloible and that Is to have
each county In the state contribute its pro-
portico of $7,500 , the apportkument being
based on the taxable valuation of the prop
erty in each county.
"The people of Laramle county , In which
Cheyenne Is situated , took t'jc Initiative In
the matter and has asked the other counties
In the state to do their share I donol
thick theie la any question but that this
amount will be raised without any dlfflcultv
Laramle county's picewrtlan of this amounl
was about $1,300 and this amount was raised
In les than two hours Thursday afternoon
of this week. The money Is being raised
vvit'a the understanding that the legislature
Is to be asked to refund it , out whether that
will bo done remains to be seen
"Tho $7,500 we will raise , " continued the
governor , "will bo barely sufilcicnt to pay
for Installing the exhibit and taking care of
It during the exposition. Wo will be obliged
to depend upon private enterprise to con
tribute the material constituting the exhibit ,
but I do not have any fcirs. on that score
The state has no collective exhibit to speak
of , although we have a large quantity of
agricultural material which was left from the
exhibit made at Chicago This consists of
grain In sealed glass jars , grasses and similar
material. . This can bo utilized and the
balance ot the exhibit will be made up of
articles illustrating our other resource * We
will bo somewhat hampered in making an
agricultural display by the fact that wo made
no collection of material grown last year , and
can only augment the Chicago collection by
such material as grows between now and
June. We will have a good exhibit of our
other resources , however. These will In
clude specimens from our soda beds , oils ,
stone of various kinds , ores and numerous
minerals
WILL HELP BUILD THE ARCH.
"Wo have a variety of building stone , and
that reminds mo of the request of Governor
Holcomb for stone for the Arch of States you
aie going to build en the exposition grounds
As soon as I leeched his letter I made It
public and have requested the numerous
quarries , In our state to supply mo with sam
ples of their stone and I expect these will he
ready within a vciy few days Wyoming will
contribute her quota of stone to the arch and
wo have same very fine varieties from w'jlch
your pecolo may select. I think tlat Idea Is
a good ono and I believe it will irove verj
popular among the states in this section.
"I am gbd I was asked to supply stone for
the arch Instead of being abked to pick out
our two prettiest women , " remarked the gov
ernor , jokingly. "That is quite an original
Idea for a medal , but It means trouble for the
man In Wyoming who Is called on to pass
on the beauty of our women. We have so
many that can be properly classed under that
heading that it is no easy mat
ter to select the two prettiest , and
I am gad ! Prof. Graves was assigned to that
Job Instead of having It to do myself. We
have the women , though , and If the professor
over succeeds In passing the ordeal we will
do our share In that direction as well as In
every other where w'o are called upon. "
State Engineer Mead will probably have
direct charge of Wyoming's exhibit , he hav
ing acted In that capacity during the World's
fair , having charge of the collection and
Installation of the state's exhibit. Ho has
taken a prominent part In arousing Interest
In the matter of state representation and
Governor Richards stated that his experience
In that line makeu him a most valuable man
In the present emergency.
Prof , Graves Is president of the Wyoming
State university and is also vice president
for the exposition for that state. He has
taken an active Interest In arousing the
people of that section to the necessity of
having an exhibit at the exposition.
CONCLUSIONS SATISFACTORY
After the luncheon with the executive com.
ralttce the Wyoming committee had a
lengthy conference with Manager Bruce of
the Department of Exhibits , during which
the various phases of the situation were
carefully canvassed and a complete under
standing reached which proved entirely sat
isfactory to all concerned. The v'eltors 6x-
pressed themselves as more than pleased with
the treatment accorded them by the expedi
tion management. They will leave for Wyo
ming this afternoon , and say that the re
port they will make to their constituents
will Increase the already Intense Interest the
people of Wyoming have In the exposition.

The committee that wan appointed sotm
time ago to canvass the advisability or hold'
Ing n Trnnsmlsslsslppl Educational congrtf ;
In connection with the exposition met on th <
fifth floor of the city hall } csterday aftcrnoji
to comoaio notes and decide on futtm
action. Superintendent Pcarso of the loca1
schools presided nnd Secretary Glllan of the
Hoard of Education was made secretary
There wore also present Chancellor MacLali
of the University of Nebraska , State Super.
Ititrndcnt Jackson , Secretary J. E Utl of tin
CommerMil club , Superintendent A. A
Mucro of South Omaha and J. C. Hlpcy o
Council Bluffs.
During the time that has elapsed since
the i > rcv tons meeting each member of tin
comrMttec had been carrying on an cxtcti
slvo corresDonrtenco to ascertain the sentl
mcnt of educators In regard to the plar
proposed. The aggregate result was In the
highest degree encouraging. A huge start
of letters represented nearly all the vveste t
states and some east of the Mississippi a !
well as numerous promlnen1 Individuals nnt ;
irost ot the leading educational Instltutlom
of the west. They were practically unint-
mous In their ipprobatlon of the scheme ,
A very few suggested that It was feared thai
the congress might be taken as antagonistic
to the National Educational nssoc atlon , bill
In ucarly every Instance these concluded
with the assurance that If It waa finally de
cided to hold the congress they could be
counted oa to give such assistance as M >
In their power. Out of fifteen state super-
lutendents from whom letters were read
twelve were enthusiastically In favor of the
congress and three expressed themselves as
so ew-at ! In doubt. Even two or three
members of the executive committee of the
National Educational association gave the
concrc s their endorsement and declared
tlat It would not he construed as a slap at
the association In which they were all
equally Interested.
H required a couple of hours to go
through , the correspondence nnd then the
committee was of the unanimous opinion
that It Is warranted In going ahead with
the enterprise. It was contended tint It
vv'll ' be very easy to meet the objections of
Ihcso who feared that the congress would
n'erfere with the annual convention of the
Nptlonal Educational association , as it Is
proposed to hold the congress during the last
week of Juno nnd It will undoubted ! } aot ,
ao a feeder for the big convention at Wash-
'ngtoii ' Teachers from the western states
could get the advantage of the special rates
to Omalii and then go on to Washington ,
" us securlns an additional stopover which
the } could not otherwise obtain.
After some further discussion It was de
cided to go ahead with the enterprise and
Superintendent Pearse , Superintendent Jack-
5 > on and Superintendent Munro were desig
nated as a committee to prepare and submit
a plan of further procedure. It was pro
vided tl-at n da'c should be recommended
tMt would H no way conflict with the
Washington convention.
