It Is likely that when the Nebraska Expo
sition commission holds Us regular meet
ing next week , commencing Tuesday 'ovcn-
Ing. them will bo a radical departure ilu the
plans of tlio commission regarding allowing
Nebraska counties to make separate exhibits
In the main buildings and put up placards
announcing the name of the county In which
tiu ! products displayed were grown. Assist-
out Secretary . II. Dcarlng has been work
ing for Bomo time on a plan wlilch will al
low counties to exhibit their products In
groups , and label each group with the name
of the county from which It comes. This
does not mean that nny county will bo al
lowed to make n collective exhibit , so-called ,
that IB , to make an exhibit of horticulture ,
ngrlcultuio und oilier products In ono group ,
but that any county which rares to do BO
may make an exhibit of agricultural prod-
ucLi In the spuco provided by the state In
tlio Agricultural building , and' Its horticul
tural products In the Horticultural building ,
und so on , each county furnishing the ma
terial comprising thu exhibit and paying the
expense of Installing It.
Tills Is a matter which has formed the
puujoct of a large number of letters which
Imvu reached the olllco of the Nebraska
commission and thu matter has been dis
cussed at length by the commission. Many
of thu counties In the state uro atixlous to
lii ) allowed to make surh exhibits , especially
the. eastern counties. They write that they
nro willing to pay the expense attendant
upon such an exhibit , providing the state
will furnish the spacu and ttllow the name
of the county to bo displayed. The slate
rommlKslMi hns already purchased n largo
amount ot space In the vnrrous buildings ,
the amount rpbcrvuil In the Agricultural
building belns especially largo. The plan of
the commission thus fur has been to maku
u state exhibit jhowlng the agricultural re
source * of the state without rercronco to
nny particular county. This idea has proved
very unpopular with the counties und the
sUto commission has been obliged to purchase -
chase all tlio material desired for making
tiucli an exhibit. The producers say that
If they or the- county In which they live arc
not to receive the credit tor the products
grown there by having the name of the
county displayed they will not contribute
the material , but will sell the commission
nil it wmils. The fact has been growing on
the fommleslon that this would prove a
very expensive method of making un ex
hibit and a largo amount of money has
alrtMdy been expended In this manner with
the result that the commission has a great
deal of material on .hand. This could bo
utIIUed , however , In case the suggestions
of Dr. Hearing are approved by the com
mission and will not bo lost.
Mr. Hearing I1"- ' had so.no correspondence1
vlth Prof. V. W. Taylor. supsrlntenJent of the
agricultural bureau of the Department of Kx-
hltlts , with a view of.learning If any objec
tions would be raised to county displays In
the Agriculture building , the Idea be'cig to
have the corn , wheat , potatoes , pumpkins ,
vatcrmeloiiH and other products of each
" > unty arranged li such form as the county
in laagers may select , but to have a con
tinuous agricultural exhibit In Ihu space us-
e.KiicJ to Nebraska. 1'rof. Tajor | says hu
era , * ee no objection to such an arrangement ,
Kcrtllled with thfbo documents. Assistant
FfcreiaryHearing will bring the matter bo-
Jo'o the commission at Its next meeting and
li Is proNiblo that th's course will be
flJopted , There has been a great deal of
Protest from the counties In the state re-
gardlng1 the plan propcsed by the commio-
slcn and the members of the commission will
undoubtedly be glad of the opportunity to
make the change. It will relieve the com
mission of an enormous expense and will be
mosl gratifying to the prducers In the slale.
Mr. Dearlng eays Ihero are- fully fifleen
counties la the etate tlio agricultural eoclelles
of which have already signified Ihelr willing
ness to appropriate any amount required to
make such a display ot their resources and
he says ho has no doubt whatever but that
nearly every county In Ihe state will be glad
of the opportunlly lo do the same thine.
With free space aoid free transportation both
ways on the railroads , Ihe counllea will bo
In a favorable position to make the best of
the opportunity.

Cass Gilbert , architect of the Agriculture
building of the Tranemlsslsslppl Exposition ,
Is now traveling In Europe. He has re
cently visited Brussels , Lelp. lo and other
Important points. In writing to Walker &
Klmball of this city he ays :
During the Inst six weeks I have hnd a
rhnnco to visit the grounds of several of the
European expositions which have recently
closed , particularly nt Brussels nnd Lelpsle ,
nnd to look over the. designs for tlio mounds
and buildings of the recent expositions at
Antwerp nnd Nurcmburg.
Thu llrupsels exposition appeared the
most Important In Its grounds nnd building
and the main vista , terminating In a great
central building with curved Hanking colon
nades , wns very effective , but the placing
of lesser buildings of varying' slylos and for
minor uses upon ellher nldo of the central
court or plaza W.IH a mistake from my
standpoint anil detracted from the general
effect. In other words , leaving aside the
greal building mentioned , the -scheme was
without continuity and lacked both scale
ami symmetry. The mime criticism would
apply also to Ihe Lclp lc exposition. Neither
In Brussels nor In Lelpsle IH there nny cx-
lenslve u e of lagoons oi' eanals , though in
the latter there Is a small'lake or pond op
posite the main cnlranco and cutting across
the vista nl Us farlher extremity there Is a
canal that might well have IICMJII brought
into the scheme with good effect.
After my Inspection of these expositions
I want to tell you that I think your scheme
of the exposition grounds al Omaha la bet
ter from every point of view and I am sat
isfied that not only the general effect , bul
the practical working of the exposition will

them ,
I notice In all of the European expositions

I'fnetory kind Is extensively provided In the
grounds at other points. I also notice thu
fiei > UHU of pculpturi ! In the. grounds In con

I take the liberty of iirslnpr It upon your
consideration. If It \a \ Impossible to get
funds for original works of this kind , the
example of the LiMpsle exposition might be
followed , where well kno\n antique groups
or figures were used , I llml nothing elves
such offoet of sonlo to the buildings , noth
ing Is more effective in minor vistas , at the

and if you could get copies of ono or Iwo
of H.irye's lions , a few figures of Ceres ,
Diana and that sort of thing. It would give
an appearance of elegance and ilnlsh to the
grounds as nothing elte would do ,
At the Lrlpslo exposition there was n
Bavarian beer cellar In the style , of a con
vent of the I2th century. In the second
story a large vaulted amusement hall and
dining room lx > low a low crypt vaulted ami

State Superintendent W. H. Jackson , In
charge of the stoto educational exhibit. Is
sending out a second circular to the educa
tors In the state. He announces the fad
that the railroads have offered to trans
port all educational exhibits to and from the
exposition free of charge , and says that with
free space nnd free transportation the edu
cational exhibit of Nebraska schools should
bo exceptionally fine. Ho advises the coun
ties to make exhibits of work In which
they excel and urges the smaller ( schools tenet
not attempt to make an exhibit ot work
In all the grades. All public schools making
application for space before February 1 will
bo granted space free of charge , and the
exhibits will bo taken In charge by a force
under the direction of the state superin
tendent and put In position In the exposition
building. I'rof. Jackson suggests that It
will bo well for counties to send ono or
more persons to Omaha to put the exhibit
In place. In order to assure individuality of
the county exhibit , but he says that this U
not absolutely necessary , as ho will have
men for that purpose In case counties do not
adopt this suggestion.
Prof , Jackson Is also sending out letters
of Inquiry to the private schools of the
state , asking for certain Information requested -
quested by the Nebraska Exposition commis
sion at Its last meeting , relating to exhibits
by these schools , Lieutenant Governor Har
ris appeared before the commlbfilon to ask

from a trip to Chicago and Milwaukee In
the Interest of the exposition. la Mil
waukee Mr , Itojewatcr attended a meeting of
the Wisconsin Exposition commission , which
was presided over by ex-Mayor Koch of Mil
waukee , chairman of the commission. Mr.
Rosewater made a short talk on expedition
matters and sa > s he found the members ot
the commission quite enthusiastic over the
progress which hns been made In the en
terprise anil In their state. The commission
lieo received bids for the construction of the
Wisconsin bulldVig and Is about to let the
contract for It. Excellent headway has been
made In the work ot raising funds for the
building and state exhibit. A striking feature
of the Wisconsin build'ag will bo a large
aquarium which will occupy all of the central
portion of the main floor and will be uaed
for making a large fish exhibit.
In Chicago Mr , Rcsewatcr said he had an
Interview with the olllclals of the Pullman
Palace Car company. They promised to send
to the exposition a fully equipped train of
Pullman cars , conelstlng of five vcstlbuled
cars costing $240,000. These cars will befitted
fitted with all moJern Improvements and will
bo decorated In the meat lavish manner. In
contrast with these palaces , the company will
nlso send to the exposition the rtrst Pullman
car , thereby showing the contrast between
the first efforts ot the company and the
latest productions. These cars will require
a track 400 feet In Inegth.

was unanimously adopted directing the State
Bureau of Agriculture to make an exhibit
and pledging the necessary funds. The legis

Dr. Frldtjof Nansen has aurr.i'iscil the people
ple of America by ar.tiounclng that he will
rrot fill his contracts to deliver lectures In
the west. Ho was to have given two Iccturep
In Omaha next Tucsftiy , but on account of
his absolute refusal to make the rest of the
100 lectures that ho had contracted for the
Kcdpalh Lyceum bureau of Iloutcci that had
managed his American tour bus been ob
liged to cancel the engagements.
No exp'anatlon has been given except tint
lecturing Is distasteful to Dr. Nansen and
that ho has not a sufllelpnt apTcclatlon ; of
the rlghtii of otter pewlo. The trip to the
leading eastern cities has been remarkably
succs.jful end profitable , and th-it m-ikes It
rppear all the more straim riat the Nor
wegian explorer hoiildjiff > vo gl\en up the
tour. "
The Omaha lectures wore under the Im
mediate management of M. W. Mattlton mil
W. W. Wilkinson of Chicago. They had also
contracted with the Ke < ! ( > ath bureau to man
age Dr. Naimcn'8 lecture. ) at Kansas City ,
St. J eph cud Lincoln. "Our expensed have
been vtTy heavy and wo shall have to look
to the Rudpath people for dainugrs , " said
Mr. Mattlson. "They arc the largest and
mast st : ct'E fu | managers of lecture and con
cert attructlcos In the country and I am con
fident that the cancellation ts due to n > fault
of theirs. They ulil In turn Lave u get
damages from Nanaen. "
In order to prevent , us far aa paasble , ' .Lo
disappointment on the part of persons who
had beoti t'lannlng to hear Dr , Nansen , Maltl-
son and Wilkinson have secured a date from
Lieutenant I'cary. He will appear at Hio
First Methodist church next Friday. With
the exception of Nansen , Peary Is the most
noted man that has ever gone toward the
North Pole. Lieutenant Peary Is now lec-
tmlng under the management of Major Pond
of Now York. Exceptional Interest attachm
to him on account of the- fact that ho will
start on another trip next spring. Ho wl'l '
go by way of the ccaat of Greenland , a route
that has never boon traveled. Ho will estab
lish a supply station from wlilch to make an
Ice trip north when the conditions are most
luvoiublc. His lecture will bo Illustrated
with sterpcritlcon views. It Is raid to bo In
tensely interesting.
Persona who purchased tickets for the
Nansen lectures can either have the money
lefundcd or have the same seats reserved for
Peary. In the latter case the difference In
the price w-III bo refunded. The prlccn for
the Peary lecture are 50 and 75 cents and $1 ,
and tlio advance sale will be at Kuhn's drug
store.
