Grand Display of New Silks , COLORADO'S ' FRUIT DISPLAY Wonderful Things Promised for the Coming Exposition Visitor. MRS. SHUTE LAYS SOME GREAT PLANS Centennial State to Lead All Other * t 'the Exponltlon In Vnrletr . , aud. JIiiKitlflcencc of H Exhibit. Mn. M. A. Shute , Colorado's commissioner of horticulture , haa gone east , after visiting the exposition grounds and making arrange ments for a horticultural exhibit , which , she nays , will eclipse In the extent and variety of the display anything that may bo undertaken by any other state. Mrs. Shute spent all of Thursday afternoon at the exposition grounds and only returned to her hotel when there nothing more to ex amine. To Prof. Taylor , superintendent ol the Bureau of Horticulture , who accompanied her , Mrs. Shuto said , " 1 can only paraphrase the remark of Senator Galllnger regarding Cuba , 'You may draw any picture of the magnificence- and grandeur of your exposi tion , and I will sign It.1 " . To a representative of The Bee Mrs. Shuto eald. "I was prepared to aeo a few pretty buildings , and expected them w be white but I oinnot express the amazement anc astonishment which fll'.si lee when I saw tno magnificence and the extent of the prep arations which are being made. I went all over the grounds and made a complete ex amination of every building. I have In my mind a bird's-eye view of the whole exposi tion and I cannot express my pleasure at the promise of a magnificent exhibition , and my regret that my state may not bo fully repro- Hented In every department of her resources "When I left Denver Colonel Bishop , one At the Colorado commission , said the action ( if the commission would bo guided very largely by my udvlce after I returned. : can assure you that I shall use all my pow ers to bring this matter before them In the proper way and urge them to not let this op portunlty pass for laying before the people ot this great country the advantages we have to offer to settlers. I regard this exposition as u business proposition whlcli offers to the people of Colorado the best opportunity they have ever had to advertise the re- eoiipoea of that state. We have plenty o room for more horticulturists In our state and I believe some of the other Industries are not overcrowded. I am convinced tha a display at this exposition would result In great good to Colorado and I Intend doing all In my power to make the entire Colorado commission and the people of the state see U that way. way.COLORADO'S COLORADO'S FRUIT. ' 'I hare reserved 1,898 square feet of space in the Horticulture building , " said Mrs Sliuto with a quiet smile as she mentlonec the number uf feet ; "ot this amount the Department ot Exhibits has very kindly donated SOO feet. In tnla space we will have A Food-Tonic , A Nerve Soother , Liebig * COMPANY'S Extract of Beef Refreshment and delicate nourishment. MC5K i i i i i ijl as fine an exhibit as It Is possible to make. I have completed all arrangements tor having the very best apeclmera of horticultural products collected at our various county fairs and these will bo shipped to Omaha. Our strongest showing /will not te made uatll about September , but we will occupy our space with a fine exhibit ot dried and pre served fruits and fresh fruits In their eeason. "One of the most attractive features ol Colorado's horticultural display will bo the fruit doye , ' which will bo hold during Uio entireseason. . We will commence during tfao very early days of the exposition by hav ing 'fltrawbrrry day' on June 9. On that day the people of Olenwood Springs , a strawberry district In Qarflold county , on the western elope , will bring hundreds ot crates of the mcst delicious strawberries tbo people of Id la section ever tasted , and these will be' given away to all comers. Tbo next great day will be the Feast of Watermelons on September 3. Colorado beats the world at raising water mclona and wo propose to bring these juicy morsels to Omaha In carloads just to make the people who visit tbe exposition sorry that they don't live In Colorado. The people ol Grand Junction will come out strong Septem ber 9 , with their peaches. There Is no place on the foo'etool which grows euch large , Juicy , delicious morsels as the Grand Junction dis trict and wo will convince everybody wlth- l > n reach of our peach stand that this \a \ n fact. September 15 and 16 will be our fruit day. and then Is the time when the people will 'havo ' an opportunity ot eating their nil ot the finest pears and apples grown any where In the world. There will be other va rieties of fruit , but the apples and pears will bo most In evidence. It is no uncommon thing for the trutt trees In some portions of our state to produce pears which -weigh twenty-seven ouncea , and apples measuring seventeen Inches In circumference. Hhave In my office In Denver photographs ot fruit of these dimensions , and can testify that they are not unusual In size. "We are not going to expend all our ener gies In these fruit days , however , " continued Mrs. Shute. "but we will keep our display In the Horticultural building fully up to the hlgheat standard. This display will bo In charge * ot men from the western slope and the Arkansas valley who are experts In such matters. "Our state will mrj.o a good showing In the educational department end Uie state department la making extensive preparations In thin direction. The agriculture display will also bo a creditable one , and I believe wo will have a good mining exhibit. I In tend to use my best efforts to bring about a display ot our minerals aud believe this can bo accomplished.

Flnley of Knox col lege , Galeaburg , III. , epent yesterday In Omaha , consulting with graduates of his In stitution for the purpose of stimulating In tercet In the college among the people of this vicinity. President Flulcy reports that Knox Is In a flourishing condition , with nearly COO students In attendance. There are twenty-five or thirty former Knox college lego men In Omaha and Its Immediate sur roundings , Including John L. Kennedy , Frank II. Galnee. C. C. George , Ed George , Charles Martin and Victor Bender of Council Bluffs. The suggestion has ( been made that Colonel Clark E. Carr. president of the State Exposi tion commlfslon , and a'so a number of the Board ot Trustees of Knox college , that a day be pot for a gathering of Knox college loge men at the exposition some tlmo In Sep < tembcr. The Idea , If worked out , would In clude the reunion of the graduates through out the northwest , au address by some prominent orator , an excursion from Galesburg - burg of almost the entire body of students In attendance there. President Flnley Is con sidering the practicability of tbe plan and has talked It over with the local Knox men. all ot whom are favorable to It. President Flnley expects to spend some time at the exposition himself , and at the same time bring Knox college Into closer relations with the people ot this section. StvedUh Choru * OfU to Work.

Exhibit to HP 31 nilc liy _ _ tlici Central Aimoclntlon. George R. Dean , a Chicago architect who represents the Industrial art department of the Central Art association , Is In the city to carry out still further the work started by Mrs. T. Vernetto Morse , the secretary of the association , who was In Omaha about a week ago. Mr. Dean comes for the purpose of ob taining definite data on which to base a recommendation as to Just the form the dis play of the association shall take. These matters have been referred to the depart ment of which Mr. Dean Is the head , and ho Is In consultation with the exposition author ities and architects. Mr. Doan stated that It has been definitely decided by the Central Art association to make an exhibit which shall Illustrate tbo artistic furnishing and decorating of a com plete American bouse , according to the most approved artistic principles as an object les son In the practical application of art education to the homo life. American furnicblngd will be used as far as possible and arrangements have been partially completed for carrying out this plan. The only point that Is yet un decided la whether the exhibit shall bo made In the gallery of the Liberal Arts building , as has been contemplated , or In a separate bulld- kig to bo erected on the bluff tract. Mr. Dccn says a two-story structure Is desirable , although not absolutely necessary , and this could not bo constructed In the gallery of the Liberal Arts building. He eaya It Is not the de lre of the Central Art asoclatlon to profit by the undertaking In a financial sense , but simply to forward Us mlcslon of educa tion by educating tbo taste of tbo people. A number of decorators have offered their cerv ices la carrying out the plan , asking thai their actual expenses bo paid , and several dealers In furnishing goods of various kinds have applied tor space In the building. woitKiva w TUB "IOWA nxiuiiiT.

EXPLAINS SUPPLEMENT DEAL Manager Kosswator Gives the Exposition Directors Some figures. ACTUAL COST OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE Detailed Statement Slioirlnfr tlir A l- of tlio I'lnii from nu Ail- K Standpoint and theEx - venue of I'rlntliiK nnd Mailing. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the exposition was held yester day afternoon. The session was rather short and a small amount of business was trans acted. The most Important matter consid ered was the advisability of borrowing money to tide the exposition ov6r the rough places before the opening of the gates and due execu tive committee was authorized to negotiate a loan If It becomes necessary. The first ( business presented to the meeting was the Sunday clcalcg question. It came up In the form of a protest of the Omaha Min isterial union against opening tbo Bates of the exposition on Sunday. Along with thU came the vigorous protests of the labor unions of the city against closing the gates on the only day In the ) week the working men and their families would have an opportunity of vis iting the show. There was very little discus sion of the matter , the consensus of opinion being that Hie time had not arrived to take this subject up for serious consideration , aud all the papers relating to It were laid over. Another matter which has caused the soo.l people of this vicinity considerable food lot discussion was brought up and disposed of by the. adoption of the following resolution la- trojuccd by General Manderson. "Resolved , That It Is the sense of the di rectors that t'no same policy be pursued by the management that was pursued at Chicago cage , Philadelphia and other expositions and that Is , that the selling of beer nnd various light drinks bo allowed , but t'nat bars and the sale of whisky , llcjuors , etc. , on the grounds bo prohibited. When the reports of departments were called for Manager Rosewater presented a written report of the Department of Pub licity and Promotion and spoke briefly of the work which has been ' . < Jpao during the lasl month by that department. He then aaked the Indulgence of the directors while ho . spoke of certain reports which have ieen In dustriously circulated regarding tJio alleged broach of trust perpetrated by the executive committee In voting' J3/.JOO Into the treasury of The Dee. ' / EXPLAINS THAT SUPPLEMENT. Mr. Rcaewater said ho regretted that Mr , Hitchcock was not pi-ci nt , as ho wUhed to glvo him an opportunity to call In question the accuracy of the figures ho should quote Ho then stated thatit'ae Department of Pub licity and Promotion bad had little difficulty In reaching the people in the towns and cltlea all over the country , but difficulty had been encountered In reaching the farmers and people living in , rural districts. Pack ages of pamphlets coujd , be sent cheaply to the cltlea and towns and distributed without expense by railroad agents , but the rural dlstrlctu could only bo reached by mall und the clement of coat was an Important one. After full consideration of the matter , he said , he had recommended , and the execu tive committed had authorized , the Issuance of 200,000 copleti of a four-page exposition supplement of The Weekly Dee at a coat of $3,200. Mr. Rosewater then proceeded to draw a comparison ao between the cost of printing and mulling 200,000 Illustrated pamphlnta and the same number of Illus trated newspapers. The amount of matter In the four-page supplement of The Weekly Dee would be equal , ho said , to the matter contained In the thirty-two-page pamphlcta which have been laiued by the department. In lots of 100,000 these pamphlets have cost from $745 to $750 , making the cost of 200,000 copies $1,500. The agreement with The Dee Publishing company provides that the 200,000 copies of the regular Issue of The "Weekly 'Deo ' and the proposed Illustrated supplement thall bo mailed to farmers residing within a radius of 250 mtlca from Omaha. In order to send ( he same number of pamphlets through the mall would require the procuring of a list of 200,000 names , the cost of which would bo at least $200 , and the envelopes and work of addressing the pamphlets would cost at least $500 more , while the postage on the pamphlets at 1 cent each would amount to $2,000 , making a total coat of $4,200 , or just $1,000 more than was to be paid for the 200,000 copies of The Bee. As to the rcu- ronablenres ot t'ho charge1 made by The Dec Mr. Rosewatcr quoted still other flgutes. Ho said It would be necessary to have the 'work ' of the Illustrated supplement done In a job office , because such fine work cannot bo done by newspaper presses. For this work he presented competitive bids from the local job offices. Ho quoted these bids , the iflgures running from $1,452 to $2,018. The paper proposed to bo used ho said would bo of an extra quality , costing from 5 to G centa per pound. The weight of the supple ment would bo eleven tons , and 200,000 copies of the regular edition would -weigh 25,000 pounds , the postage on wlilc'h ' would be $470. The cost of the list of names of farmers , the addreealng of the wrappers and the work of mailing , etc. , would bring tlio total cost up to $3,122. Olr. Rosewatcr produced a sched ule of the figures be had quoted , which he said ho would leave with the secretary to be examined by any person who cared to do eo. Tala statement was as follows : SUMMARY OP ACTUAL COST. Supplement Job work $ UG7 Coat of weekly papers CM Cost of weekly press work UN ) 1'ostngc on 40,000 pounds 470 Cost of names 175 Cost of addressing- 175 Wrappers and mulling , Ill ) Total . $3,12. ! In closing his statement Mr. Rosewater called attention to the further fact that no money Is to pare betwesn the exposition and The Dee for' this work , but the full amount of $3,200 Is to be credited on his subscription of $5,000 to the exposition. Se.veral directors stated that they had not underaioo-J the matter before and there was not the slightest objection raised to the con templated procedure. WORK OP THE WAYS AND MEANS. Manager Llndsey followed Mr. Rosewater with a report of the Ways and Means de partment. Ho said the recent work of the department had been announced through the newspapers and ho had little to' add. Re gardlng the Instruction given him at the last meeting regarding bringing suits against delinquent subscribers of $500 or more , U . Llndsey said he had been out of the city so much that ho had not had tlmo to take ac tion and be asked further time , saying that ho would take action by May 1. Ho also requested authority to 'ummcnce butts against delinquent subscribers of * 50 or over. Th'fl was granted and ha announr-ed that these sul t > will be started by May 1. In addition to this Mr. Lr.d ! < ny , at the ic- quest of the executive comni'tic-e , arki-d u- thorlty for the negotiation of a lo-ui In race It becomes necessary to do so. After a short discussion this was agreed to and the com mittee was authorized to uao Its dlscrel'oa In the matter. Manager Reed reported that the Conces sion. ? department had made ca ! ? : of con cessions amounting to 34 < , UJO , on which pay ments ot $35,000 had bean mode In cash. The balance Is duo before Juan 1. Ho coil- mates the total receipts of hla depait'nent up to June 1 at $70,000 , being about $20,000 higher than anv previous estimates , On motion of Mr. Rosewater the board ad Journed until 4 p. m.
