The closing of the exposition, says
the Orauha World-Herald, while It
will be hailed with satisfaction by
many, will be like the breaking up oi
home to aome. Several thousand peo
ple have been constantly on the
grounds by day and several hundred
have made It their ubldlug place by
night.
Among those who will feel the dls
■oiuUon most keenly are generally
those who have had charge of the
state buildings. As a rule these pet'
> pie have played the part of hosts too
sincerely and taken too much real
pleasure In providing for the comfort
of visitors to be glad that the relations
of the t miner are now to be severed.
With Buch a prospect In view as the
close of a great exposition that has
been the delight and admiration of
" hundreds of thousands, It Is common
to hear expressions of regret that the
scene is to he blotted out forever and
the beautiful buildings be torn down,
and the fcellngH of the host and the
hostesses and attendants hi me *iam
buildings are well appreciated by the
visitors who have found hospitaole
receptions, rest and refreshment with
in these walls. Their sentiment of
fondness for these places is somewhat
attested, too, by the demands for
pieces of furniture or hangings or
decorations from them as souvenirs.
And one of the most gratifying fea
ture of the whole exposition, both to
the management and to the visitors,
has been the excellent administration
of the state buildings. At no other
exposition has the purpose of the state
and local headquarters been so well
served. At no other exposition has
there been so little formality, cuc’i
cordial welcome, such generous treat
ment and such facilities for rest and
comfort.
What at other expositions has bota
done by a central organization known
as the department of public comfort
was here done by all the stale?, and
they left nothing to be desired. All
the Trans-Mississippi states were not
represented here, It Is truo, but those
which contributed the overwhelming
ly large share to the attendance of
the exposition were adequately rep
resented.
Not much that is very reliable can
be learned from the record of reglH
tratton at the various buildings, be
cause callers registered Indiscriminate
ly, and thousands of the same names
are on all the registers that wore kept.
It haB been claimed by Iowa that she
sent to the exposition half of its at
tendance. This Is not admitted by
very many, more admitting that Iowa
contributed only as many visitors as
nebraska.
If the registers show anything they
show that this Is true, for the Iowa
and Nebraska registers contain about
100,000 nr.mes each, and these regis
ters are considerably longer than any
others. Minnesota shows 65 OOo
names; Illinois. 45,000; Kansas, 35,000;
New York,' 20.000; Wisconsin, 20 000.
and Montana something less than that,
The largest state building, which
was natural and proper enough, was
Nebraska's. Nebraska started out to
be the host, not only of the visitors
from Nebraska, but of those from all
the states and especially for those
from states that had no building.-*.
The broad guage plan was earned
out perfectly and It should not be for
gotten that the same spirit governed
the administration at every state
building. All comers were welcome.
At the Minnesota building for exam
ple a man was Just as welcome whether
he came from Minnesota or from Cal
ifornia. or Hawaii. It was the same
everywhere else. And. while order
and neatness had to he looked out for
everywhere, there was a gratifying
absence of any stiff rules whose un
nessary restraint the wearied visitors
might feel.
At the Nebraska building some of
the state commissioners were always
present and the most unremitting at
tention to their functions was given
by tue hostess. Miss Hutterfleld, and
the assistant hostess. Mrs, Hunter.
They bad the unhesitating and eth
cleut support of every employe
During the eummer the building
wae the scene of many a congress or
fraternal rally, for which the largo
rotunda was so convenient, and sev
eral entertaining receptions were giv
en afternoon and evening. The fact
that the building was headquarters
for various fraternities and etate or
ganisations and was tilled with elab

Chadron dispatch: Through the

rick Lacy of Harrison, Neb., agtvl 41
years, and Mrs. Maggie Schooley, aged
6H, of Marlon, O., were united In mar
riage at the home of tho gioonv last
week. After having enjoyed the com
panionship of her newly found hus
band two nights and ono day Mrs.
Lacy tired of the matrimonial vonture
and Lacy has now lost his bride, who
left, together with her little daughter,
for her Ohio home. Gross misrepre
sentation on the part of both parties
In the case resulted In the marriage
being a decidedly unhappy union, and
Lacy does not regret his wife's early
departure. It Is stated that Lacy rep
resented to Mrs. Schooley that he
was a wealthy cattle ranchman, own
ing a large ranch In Sioux City, hut
when she arrived on the scene she
discovered her Intended to be a day
laborer with small means. Lacy, In
turn, discovered that the woman, who
claimed to have several thousand dol
lars In her own right, had barely
enough money In her possession to
psrehuse a ticket horn*1 so the match
was broken with but little sorrow on
the part of the two Interested parties.
I.lvcly fluking of th* Exposition.
There was u noisy crowd on the ex
position grounds on the night of the
closing day. Here Is a sample of how
they celebrated os told by the Omaha
IJce:
"The second scrap of considerable
dimensions took place In Pabst’s beer
hall, which has been the “official” ren
dezvous for a great number of rail
road men and other Omahans during
the season. About 1 o'clock a strange
lot of spectators wandered In and, as
they were more or less filled with the
exhuberance of the occasion, and
other things, they showed their ap
preciation of the show In their own
manner. The trouble began when
one man heaved an empty beer bot
tle on the stage to emphasize the fact
that he wanted “Peplta. the queen of
the Midway,” to give another song
and dance. About six simultaneously
followed his example. Then the beer
glasses commenced to rain on the
stage and the large trays of the wait
resses were hastily grabbed and shied
Into tho Jack pot. When a cople of
chairs were tossed 111 Manager Willard
concluded It was about time to close
the game. A squad of guards and
police soon cleared the hall, the more
obstreperous visitors being dragged
out and uncerlmoniusly landed In the
Middle of the Midway. No serious
injuries resulted from this affair,
though there were any number of
wounds of minor mention received. No
more beer was sold, the show wus
adjourned sine die, and the big front
gate was lowered for the last tine
about 1:45 o'clock,

W A mi I.V (Jinx, Nov. ft. Acting for
the war investigation commission, Col
onel Den by lias taken the testimony
of General I,aw ton. who was in com
mand of tlm Second division of the
Fifth army corps in the Santiago cam
paign, and who has recently been re
lieved of the command of the depart
ment of Santiago.
IDs narration began with the em
barkation of tlm troops at 'J'ampa
Speaking of the voyage, ha said the
transports were furnished us well as
could be expected, as they were not
troop ships. The medical and com
missary supplies were sufficient to
prevent absolute discomfort. There
was some confusion owing to misunder
standing of orders, hut the general
did not believe that any real hardship
had been occasioned thereby.
Colonel Den by questioned him about
the fighting before Santiago. "Know
ing there was to be a tight, how does
it happen that you did no', have enough
litters, enough surgeons and the prop
er hospital corps?” Colonel Dm by
asked.
"Well. 1 cannot say there were not
enough," General Lawton replied.
“How <lo you account for the fact
that the medical men did not provide
themselves with every tiling necessary
for taking ear* of the wounded'.’"
“I think they did provide themselves
with everything tliey thought neces
sary, considering the material tliey
had to choose from. There was no
time to do more or get more surgeons
than we iiad. They were distributed
to their various commands "
lie said the climate was responsible
for tile sickness that followed the cam
paign, though it was possible that
with more a[ proprlate food, better
cfMikiiig and shelter some of the sick
ness might have been prevented.
Humming up General Lawton said:
“Taking into consideration trie condi
tions that we were obliged to face, the
character of the country, its climate
and oilier tilings being considered 1
can say there were no serious or gross
mistakes made. 1 can say t here was
no luck of care upon the part of any of
those In authority whose duty
it was to liMik after the interests of the
cauip. We had with us as tine staff of
ficers as there are in the world; no bet
ter could bo found. These men worked
night and day and no human lieiug
could do more thau they."
ANYTHING TO AVOID WORK.
Cuban* un Santiago TubHc Work* Strike
for lli«tier Wage*.
Hastiaoo, Nov. A. —The Cubans who
have been employed in cleaning and
repairing the streets of Hautlago have
struck for higher wages, though tliey
have been receiving 91.f>0 and two ra
tions a day—higher wages than have
ever before been paid for similar work.
In fact, local employers of labor have
been complaining of this high rate,
alleging tliut it wits quite impossible
for them to compete with the govern
ment oil such terms. The Cuban la
borers want un Increase of fifty centM
per day. General Leonard Wood ab
solutely refuses to accede to the tle
muiid and will adopt heroic measures
if the strike U not promptly declared
off.
The trouble is thut many of the
strikers have rations enough on hand
to last a mouth or more, and they
think tliey can coerce the United
.States authorities.
Oenerul Wood says he will arrest
every idle laborer able to work. A
vagrancy law, which he will establish,
will compel him to work thirty days
for rations while confined fu jail. 11c
dislikes the idea of imported labor, but
believea that this must be the ultimate
result.
