The plan presented bv these gentlemen I ns been approved In the abstract by to many of those before whom It was laid, and seems to feasible that there now seems to be n rofslblllty of Omaha's having snothm end In many respects «'|iially inipoitunt am) successful ex position next year. It Is Intended to form an entirely new organ /•>tlon to take over the present buildings and grounds, or i uch part of them as may he necessary for the purpose, from the present company, upon such reasona ble basis ns may bo arranged. "It Is true,” sai l Mr. Hyeknmn. “that a suggestion has been made to the di rectors of the exposition to secure the transfer of the Trc.ns-Mlsslsslppl ex position bull.iir.es and grounds to a new organization to be Immediately formed, for the purpose of holding an exposition In Omaha next s-a-ton, for which every section of our whole coun try feels there Is Immediate demand. If Omaha did not take up the projnet some other city would, tout ax this magnificent plant Is already here and available the cards are all In Omaha's hands.

Wlth'n a very few months the whole political and commercial complexion of the country has changed We have assum ed control of rich colonhs outside our own domain, and ttin markets of Cu ba, Porto ftlco, Sandwich Islands and the Philippines now fail to us by right of conquest The commodities tney have heretofore received from Eng land, Germany, France and other ciun trlcs may now and must he supplied •by our own Industrialists At the pres ent time they are absolutely unfamil iar with the character of the goods used In these countries and of their natural products which we can utilize. Fore some time this trade, which will rapidly develop for us to an unlimited extent, must be a question of barter. We must utilize their products In or der to displace tlielr good with our own In their markets.

The Nicaragua Canal company would join extensively and bring here the best of everything In Honduras, Venezuela, Guatemala, etc.. The rdmlnlstratlon having evolved for the country the splendid achievements In these terri torial aggrandizements, must favor such a demonstration and congress would appropriate a vary considerable sum to bring the products and the pro ducers of our new possessions and al lies here face to fact with our own producing clas.ies for a perfect under standing and a sure commercial foot ing.

Pork V*a<’kliiff OfwrutloiiK South Otnahuh Is a busy place ihcne days, says an Omaha paper. Duilrg the week eonslflerably over 10,000 h tg« were received and slaughtered at that point. Since March I the packers have handled 1,135,000 hogs, which ;s a gain over the corresponding period or :ast year of 1f!0,000. During the same period St. Louis has gained 12J • 000. Indianapolis H4.000, Cincinnati 37.000 and the smaller markets In about the same proportion. Kansas City, however, is the one exception, the gain In the number of hogs pack'd at that point amounting to only 6,000. while South Omaha has been galnli g 150,000. and rapidly closing up the gap between third and second place In the list of packing centers. The reason for the loss of prestige on the putt cl Kune is City at u time when nil othei hog packing points are show.ng lib eral gains is to be found in the operr lions of the little town down the river tamillarly known as St. Joe. Since March 1 there have been puoWed at that point 5HS*,000 hogs. Of thut number 300,000 are figured ah having come from Kansas City territory, and only about 150.uoo from Nebraska let rltory. The operatlona of St. Joe In Itausa* City territory are doing much to niuullxe the disparity In wealth amt population between Nebraska and Kansas, sc that those who are fattiallar with the business would not be aur prU* d to see South Omaha win secon I p!a<« ns a hog pinking center before very long. l*Mk4|M f-»r Il«r Adjutant Carry In In receipt of a telegram from Adjutant (leiteral Cor Ido of the war ilstwrlmst stating In answer to his query an to whether the govertuncut wo i.d forward Christmas packages to the numbers of the First \ebr»»k:t volunteer regional station ed at Manila The inmati Is to the eflr< t that the packages will be for warded free of t harge all packages to bo addressed in the department qaar terutaster at San ►Taailao.

Nicholas Jack son of Hackensack, who was sent to Trenton prison to serve ten years for causing the death of his 0-ycar-olil son fjouis, confessed to Sheriff Herring and Deputy Sheriff Jackson while they were on their way to Trenton from Hackensack with the prisoner. On this information Mrs. Jackson is held an necesssory to the murder of her stepson. Here are Jackson's words to the sheriff: “My wife, whom I had only recently married, did not like Louis, my little boy, and wc had many quarrels about him. She helped me to plan the mur der, and I was to put the hoy on the tracks. I went to Tenneek and stood near the West Shore railroad track. 1 was afraid to put the youngster on the tracks aiivg for fear he would get off, so 1 struck him in the stomach with an iron holt and that made him uncon scious Then 1 put him on the track Just below the crossing und waited for a train to coine along. When 1 was convinced that ho was dead I went home. I fixed up the story about my leaving the hoy asleep on the hill near the tracks to save my life. The jury believed me and found mu guilty of manslaughter, thinking that Louis walked on the track and was struck by a train. I got off dead easy." Mua Meeting In Una .limn.
