Something About Nebraska's place In the Educational Exhibit. The educational exhibit at the world's fair will be grouped by states and yet at the same time so arranged as to enable the studious observer to follow the grades from the most elementary to the most ad vanced stage, by Btate, or by cross ing the areas to trace the similari ties in each grade through all the states. Parochial and special school work will be shown in the same o-eneral svstem. While each Btate will collect and put up its own ex hibit, this will be done under the general supervision of the educa tional depatment according to the systematic plan mapped out with a view to convenience and avoid ance, as much aa possible of ap peaiance of Bameness. Space will be assigned to states according to their advancements in educational work, and the necessities of ihe case. For certain features there is to be a general exniDit irrespective 01 states, Originality is desired and it is earnestly recommended that the work presented by the classes should be left exactly as executed by the class, no "retouching" to be done by the teacher, not even to the crossing of a t or the dotting of an i, the aim being to Bhow actual ev ery day work, as it really is, and not specially prepared work gotten up for this particular exhibit. Ivach state will have imtnejiate cliarge of the installation nnd supervision of its educational exhibit under the direction and control of the chief of the department. All applications for space must be made to the di rector general, who keeps in his oflicecomplete records of all appli cations for space in every depart nient of the exposition. The higher educational institu tions, such as colleges, universities, technical and professional schools, desiring to make special "exhibits of their work will be assigned space according to their deserts upon making application to the director general, outlining scope of work to be exhibited and stating space re quired. It is the intention to make the educational exhibit a great fea ture of the Columbian exposition, and all educational institutions are especially urged to co-operate with the authorities in the elTort to make the exhibit a most forcible illustra tion of our intellectual progress1 and it is to be hoped every educa tional institution in Nebraska from the most unpretentious district school to the state uni versity, will contribute its mite to the Nebraska educational exhibit. Special rules and instructions for guidance in preparation and col lection of work, outlining the aims and desires of the commission in this matter will soon be sent to all educational institutions, county superintendents, etc., with a view of having them take hold of the work in such n way aa will insure for Ne braska high rank in the way of evi dence of intellectual progress. No state of similar age can make a bet ter showing in educational work and institutions, and few, if any, aa good, and it will be the aim of the commission, with the help of those whose hearts and heads are in the work, to put up such an exhibit as will leave no room for doubting our devotion to the real foundation of all that is delightful in human de velopment.

Captain Donovan, an Old and Re spacted Citizen Found Dead at Neon To-day. Word was brought to the city abontl:30 p. m, by Chas. Harris that a man was lying dead in the creek at the corner of Oak and Fif teenth streets. The coroner was at once notified and repaired to the Bpot. I here a ghastly sight met the gaie of the large crowd gathered on the bank. With his head and shoulders on the south side of the creek, lying partly on the left side and his feet on the north side of the creek was the lifeless form of Capt Donovan. The unfortunate man was found by Thomas Janda about 1 o'clock this afternoon while looking along the b ink of the creek for eggs. Mr, hit Sampson Bays that at about four o'clock this morning someone came to his house and knocked at the front door, s tying that he was lost and wanting to know which direction to go to get to Uwn. Mr. Sampson says that the hired girl told him to go one block north and then go east, he also said the gir thought that from the talk on the outside of the house theres were two men. If captain Dwtiovan was the party that inquired which way he 'should go to get to town, he turned and went directly south instead of go ing north. After leaving the house he must have followed the side walk as far as it went then crossed the road and walked straight way into the creek, although no tracks could be seen and where he had reached the creek. It was plainly visible on ,the banks where he had been strug gling to out, he would get partly to the top of the bank and slide back. He was covered with mud from head to foot, and it is sup posed that he died from exposure and exhaustion. Mr. Thomas Janda says that he was awakened about four o'clock this morning by the barking of his dog, and that he got up out of bed anil dressed and went out into the yard, but as he could not hear or see anything he went back to bed. It is reported the captain had been drinking hard for the past two or three days, and it supposed that while under the influence of liquor he had started for home and lot his way which finally cost hiui his life. The deceased leaves three chil dren, Miss Flora, who is teaching school near Ashland, George Don ovan, who is travelling auditor of the V. P., with headquarters at Hois City, Idaho, and one son in Lincoln. The deceased was a member of the masonic lodge of this city and the funeral will be under their aus pices. An inquest will be held tonight. World's Fair Notes. An Ohio world's fair commission er has estimated that the exhibitors from his state willspeu upwards of $3,)(X)'000 in the preparation of their exhibii for the exposition. The California building at the fair will be an imposing structure of the "old mission" type, HQ by .TO feet, with a dome and costing about $75,000. It will be surrounded by a hedge of Monterey cypress. Denmark will spend about $,"),500 in showing as a leading feature of its World's fair exhibit, a Danish dairy, complete and in operation The dairy interest is one of the most approved methods and me. chanical appliances are utilized in the dairies of that country. Vermont will have a building at the exhibition without drawing on the state appropriation for the cost of its erection. One hundred sub stantial citizens have guaranteed $10,000 for that purpose, each one pledging himself to pay $100. Michigan's building will measure 100x140 feet and be three stories high. It will be constructed of Michigan material, which the furn ishing will be donated. Though but $-'0,000 of the appropriation will be devoted in its erection, it will in reality be a $."KMKI0 building. Italy will make no 'governmental display at the exposition. The king, however, has recognized the fair, by appointing a commission, and minister of stale. Kiidini. Im.i informed Vice President Hryan and Director Higinbothatn, that the government will encourage indi vidual exhibitors in every way pos sible. He even intimated that the government would pay for the transportation of exhibits. Mr. Hig ginbotham reports that there is throughout Italy much enthusiasm over the exposition and that the painters, sculptors, and manufac turers of artistic ware are hard at work on intended exhibits- Married.

The pro hibition Btate convention to elect delegates to the national conven tion which meets in St. Louis June 3, met at Red Ribbon hall yester day afternoon and evening. The convention may be described as one immense wrangle. The following delegates were elected: Charles Watts, A. Roberts, Mrs. L. D. King Lincoln; C. D. Stromis, T. P. Wigton, Mrs. Belle Higelow, Mrs. Mary Hitchcock, Fremont; Ada M. Bit tenbender, II. K. George, Lincoln; Mrs. C. M. Woodward, Seward; L. W Moody, Omaha; A. T. Wolfenber ger, C. K. Bentley, Lincoln. The great fight came in the eve ning over the election of the two national committeemen. C. E, Bentley and T. P. Wigton were nom inated, whereupon Mrs. King of Lincoln moved to substitute A. T. Wolfenberger in place of Bentley. The air was soon blue. Mr. Roberts of Lincoln got up and roundly scored the actions of Wolfenberger during thi last campaign. He ac cused him of drawing a salary when the rest of the brethren were home working for the cause for nothing. Others followed in the same line. The gist of the charges was that Wolfenberger had done more for his own interests than he had for the good of the cause. Mrs. King made a red hot speech on behalf of Wolfenberger, and others of the same sex. After a red hot time, in which every body got mad, a call of the counties was de manded, which resulted in a com plete victory for Bentley nnd Wig ton. Ihe other business done was unimportant.

Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Peterson Pro pose to Bury Their Divorce. "Back to the old home again" is the song Mrs. Adolph Petersen of Papillion, Sarpy county, is singing joyously today. Nearly three months ago Mrs. Petersen deserted her wealthy hus band, eloped with a young railroad man, who had been a trainman on the Missouri Pacific. Her husband had given her money to visit at Portland, but she had said nothing about taking a male traveling com panion. They were in Omaha for several days and each morning the wronged husband came into this city, and, with the aid of the police, searched the city and suburbs for his recreant wife and the railway man. From Omaha Mrs. Petersen went to Portland, Ore., and soon from that city she wrote to her husband stating that Bhe was Borry for what she had done and asking him to for give her. For weeks Mr. Petersen was obdurate and refused to have any thing to do with her. fie began n suit for divorce in the district court on the grounds of infidelity and willful desertion, and won it a few weeks ago- He was granted an ab solute divorce and also the custody of their 14-year old daughter. Mrs. Petersen had long before concluded that a faithful husband and affectionate daughter were to be preferred to a young adventurer. and had repeatedly written to her husband, telling him she was sorry and repentant and anxious to re turn to him and their daughter But Mr. Petersen remained inexor able up to two weeks ago when l,e wrote to his wife that if she was truly repentant, she could conic back, and he sent her sufticent money to defray her expenses back. She joyfully packed bet trunk and took the next train for Omaha and Papillion. The reunion is described as udusiially happy, theex-wife and the ex-husband greeting each other most aiTecrionately. Next Saturday they will be re married and take up the old life again. DROWNED IN THE MISSOURI.
