All the membem of the Illinois commla-
Blon who were In Omaha yesterday had seen
the exposition , with the exception of Ferd
inand W. Peck and H. Hall McCormlck of
Chicago and tbcso two men expressed great
surprise at Its size and beauty. As vlco
president of the Columbian exposition and
a member of the Illinois commission of the
Atlanta and Nashville expositions , Mr. Peck
has perhaps had more , experience with ex
positions than any man In America. Of the
Transmlsslsslppl he said : "When I stood In
the main court I Imagined I was In the
Court of Honor again. All that was different
was the Government building where the
Peristyle belonged. The effect la magnifi
cent and the buildings arc as beautiful as
those In.Chicago and arc far more nearly
completed than our buildings were this long
before the opening. Until I saw the build
ings and grounds I had no adequate con
ception of the grand scale the exposition
was being made on. I supposed It would bo
something llko the Atlanta or Nashville ex
positions and was amazed to see how much
larger It Is. "
In speaking of the Illnols commission Mr.
Peck said that all the members were de
lighted with the exposition and particularly
with the Illinois building and Its admirable
location. "Wo expect to do all In our power
to advertise tbo exposition 'and assist the
management , " said Mr. Peck.
A feature of the exposition which pleased
Mr. Peck particularly waa Its accessibility
to the main portion of the city , being not
more than fifteen minutes' ride from down
town. He also remarked about the com
pactness of the main buildings and the ease
with which they may be visited.
Mr. McCormick said of the Illinois build
ing : "I stood on the rear portico of the
building and Imagined I was looking out
over the Garden of Eden. The location of
the building U magnificent , overlooking as
It docs the river and surrounding country
on ono side and adjoining the Grand Plaza.
It was fortunate that members of the com
mission were on the ground early and se
lected such a desirable spot. "
The "Midway , " In Mr. Peck's opinion , will
1)0 a great drawing card and he says It Is the
first thing that Chicago pcoplo Inquire about.
Ho further says that ho thinks It Is unwise
to try to glvo any other name to the amuse
ment section than "Midway , ' 'because the
name has come to bo synonymous with what
people arc anxious to see in the amusement
line.
line.Both Mr. Peck and Mr. McCormlck think
that the pictures of the exposition which
have been sent out arc entirely Inadequate
to show Its beauty and In fact do not think
any lithograph can do It Justice. Mr. Peck
says ( hat the Columbian management found
that photographs advertised the Chicago ex
position in a better manner than any other
kind of picture , and suggests that the Trans
mlsslsslppl directors have photographs of the
main buildings and grounds placed In prom
inent places In largo cities.
Select nn IllliioU Day *
The Illinois building was thoroughly In
spected and accepted from the contractor.
Arrangements were made for certain details
in the Interior furnishing of the building.
The members expressed themselves as
greatly pleased with the handsome appear
ance of the building.
After returning down town a conference
was held between the Illinois commissioners
and representatives of the exposition and
the date for "Illinois day" was decided upon ,
This was the first of the state days to be
definitely fixed , and June 21 was the date
selected. The visitors wcro enthusiastic
over the unquestioned success of the expo
sition and Insisted on a day for Illinois be
ing fixed early In the season. They solemnly
promised that on "Illinois day" every resi
dent of Illinois will be brought to Omaha
and the entire vicinity of Omab.a will be
colored a deep vermllllon hue. The com
missioners said that the Interest In the ex
position throughout Illinois Is nothing short
of tremendous and they predict with great
confidence that the crowds which will visit
Omaha on Illinois day will be Immense.

Mrs. Harriet Heller , the Omaha delegate
to the National Congress of Mothers at
Washington , has written to the congress
committee of the Woman's Board of Mana
gers to the effect that the invitation to the
congress to hold a special session at Omaha
during the exposition met with favorable re
sponse and a successful meeting of the con
gress hero Is assured. The national con
gress always moots In Washington , but the
mission of Mrs. Heller
was to Induce the con
gress to realize that a meeting must be held
In the west if It Is expected that the organi
zation spread In this section.
The members of the executive committee
and the congress committee are In high
feather over this latest success , as the con

leading organizations of women In this coun
try. Subjects of Interest to women , pertain
ing to the homo , the Instruction of children ,

would bo taken to force the payment of
these subscriptions and a large number paid

tlmo slnco that date has been occupied in

NBRHASKA'S KDWCATIONAIi EXHIBIT
Active Work Commenced on Arrange
ment of Booth * for the nliplnr.
Active work has been commenced on the
booths for the Nebraska educational exhibit
and the manner In which the work la laid
out gives assurance that In setting and ex
tent , at least , the Nebraska exhibit will be
a memorable one. The exhibit will occupy ,
all the north and east sides of the allcry
of the big Manufactures building and the
cast half of the south gallery. The gallery
Is thirty feet In width all around and this
cpaco will bo divided In such a way that a
long series of rooms will extend through
the middle of the portion to be occupied by
this exhibit. This long room will bo eigh
teen feet In width and an aisle six feet In
width will extend along the sides of the
room. The long space thus enclosed will be
subdivided Into rooms sixteen feet In width
by short walls extending out from either
side , these short walls forming a passage
way ten feet In width entirely through the
enclosure.
The walls forming this series of
small rooms will be thirteen
feet In height and on these will be displayed
the cardboards to which will , be attached
the specimens of school work. The wall
next to the gallery railing will bo elabo
rately decorated with flags and bunting
above a point seven feet from the floor. The
section of the exhibit booth directly op
posite the main entrance to the building
will bo in tbo form of a series of arches
rising above the height of the other portions
of the wall ° , ml on these arches will bo thn
name of the exhibit.
The central portion of the east gallery will
be devoted to the exhibit to bo made by the
University of Nebraska and this Is marked
by a scries of arches similar to those hereto
fore referred to , but on a more modified
scale.
The erection of these booths Is In charge
of Prof. C. W. Stuart , assistant to State Su
perintendent Jackson. Ho has four men em
ployed and every effort Is being made to
push the work to completion before the ex
hibits begin to arrive in largo num
bers. The exhibit of the Lincoln
Normal university was the first to arrive ,
having been received early in the week ,
but the great bulk of the material is not
wanted before the 10th Inst. , by which time
It is expected that the booths will bo ready
'or mounting the exhibits.
GATHERING OF THE VETEHANS.
I'repnrc to Conic to the Exiioxltloii
11 nU Go Into Ciiiuu.
"Veteran Soldiers' Week" will bo one of
the epochs In connection with the exposi
tion. A Joint meeting of committees ap
pointed by the exposition and the state de
partment of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic has decided that a week shall bo set
aside when the old soldiers of both armies
shall bo given the right of way. The com
mittees which have had this matter In
iharco are these : For the Grand Army of
he Republic. B. R. Ball , S. K. Spaldlng and
John H. Butler ; for the exposition , Captain
II. E. Palmer , C. E. Adams of Superior and
Major T. S. Clarkson.
The exact date for this gathering of the
heroes of the late unpleasantness has not
been determined. It having been decided to
fix a date when President McKlnley will be
In Omaha. When this date Is learned the
whole of that week will bo designated as
Old Soldiers' week and It is expected that
thousands of the veterans will come to
Omaha to visit the exposition and parti
cipate In the campfires and gatherings char
acteristic of the veterans. Reports have al
ready been received from distant points o (
whole families who Intend to drive to Omaha
and camp In the neighborhood of the exposi
tion In order to save railroad fare and hotel
bills. .
The only free accommodations which will
be provided In connection with the coming
of the old soldiers will bo a piece of ground
suitable for camping , where those who drive
to town can pitch their tents and enjoy
themselves to their hearts' content.
Another Hand Would Come.
George C. Sellner of Omaha , special com
missioner for the exposition to Honolulu ,
writes to the Department of Exhibits that
a flno opportunity offers for an engagement
for the royal band of the Island. Ho saye
this band Is supported by the government
and Is under the charge of a former band
master of the Austrian army. Mr. Sellner
speaks In terms of high praise for the
efficiency of the band , the extent of Its re
pertoire and the excellence of its playing.
In addition to playing brass instruments'the
members also play orchestral instruments
with equal facility and the leader has also
drilled them as a male chorus. They sing
the native songs of the island and are aug
mented by two girls with excellent
voices. Mr. Sellner says this aggregation of
talent has been given authority by the gov
ernment to make a trip of one month to
Omaha and a proposition is made to spend
the full month at the exposition , playing
every day as much as may be desired , the
only consideration being the traveling exist
ence of the members of the organization and
their subsistence while away from home ,
This proposition will bo laid before tbo exec
utive committee.
AiTfirillna : More ConcemlonM.
Up to this tlmo considerable alarm has
been felt In certain quarters that one feature
of the exposition was being neglected. No
arrangements bad been made for a beauty
show and It was the consensus of opinion
that the affair could not be a success with
this feature omitted. The breach has been
filled , however , and a concession has been
lot for this attraction , which will occupy a
prominent place on the Midway. The con
cession was let yesterday afternoon to the
Columbian Amusement company , composed
of A. C. Redlck and Seth Drake of Omaha ,
They promise to produce a beauty show
which will eclipse anything of the kind evei
before attempted.
The executive committee also let a con
cession to B. B. Manchester for four auto
matic machines , consisting of a fire engine ,
steamship , locomotive and electric light
plant.
A concession was also let to A , Santa
Maria & Co. , to sell cameos , cameo shells ,
Byzantine Jewelry and corals in tbo Inter
national building.
More Spnce for MUanurl.
Prof. J. W. Darnel of Jefferson City , Mo' . ,
member of the Missouri Exposition commis
sion and chairman of the committee on the
educational and Industrial exhibits of the
negroes of the state , Is In the city toda >
to secure additional space and make final
arrangement for Installing exhibits. H <
says that there la no doubt that his com
mittee and the whole commission will be
fcblo to make a creditable showing for Im
perial Missouri in the exposition.
Marine Hand Come * to Omaha.
Late yesterday afternoon President Wat
tles ot _ the exposition received a telegram
from Congressman Mercer , In which he
stated that he bad had a conference wltt
President McKlnley ; who had granted per
mission for the Marine band to visit Omaha
during the early daya of the exposition. Con

AWAY.
Mare Fortunate One * Welt rivaled
irtth Mr. Knhn'n Saavenlr * .
Yesterday even exceeded last Saturday's
business at the famous soda fountain of
Kuhn A Co.'s. corner of Fifteenth and
Dci'.jtlas hundreds were unable to even
gain admittance to the store. Fourteen
hundred and forty beautiful silver souvenir
spoons , with the Manufactures building In
a gold bowl , were given away to these who
could get within reach and partonlzc the
so'U fountain. The remarkable excellence
of the drinks dispensed by the experts In
charge is enough In themselves to fill the
stotc Saturday afternoons , but the giving
away of these souvenirs swell the crowd
until without question Mr. Kuhn has the
Urgent soda business west of Chicago. The
Saturday concerts as given last year will
bo continued as the leading feature again
th's ' slimmer. It Is now over nineteen years
slnco Mr. Kuhn opened his drug store on
this corner , Since that time the business
hits grown until now It requires a large
force of clerks to watt upon nil of the cus
tomers. Mr. Kuhn Is the only graduate
