The first Greater America Colonial
Exposition waa duly Inaugurated on
the morning of July 1 , when a grand
street pageant marched through the
streets of Omaha and out to the beau
tiful grounds , where the formal exer
cises were held. Large crowds of vis
itors are daily testifying to the suc
cess achieved and are paying deserved
compliments to the magnificent results
achieved. The buildings are rapidly
filling with a splendid collection of ex
hibits and a large force of men are
working day and night to put ex
hibits in place. The ground deccra-
tions are far more beautiful than those
of last year and nothing is lacking to
please , instruct ana entertain those
who visit the great Exposition.
The agricultural feature of the
Greater America Exposition is re-
celving much more than the usual at
tention accorded this department at
*
expositions. Instead of the bronze
medal and silver cup the exposition
management has decided to pay cash
premiums to all counties That make a
creditable showing of farm products.
In order that the spirit of this enter
prise be of recognized value to exhib
itors there has been set aside ? 20,000
to be divided into twenty-five prizes ,
to be awarded to the twenty-five coun
ties scoring the highest in quality of
collective exhibits. These prizes are
graduated from four hundred to one
thousand dollars each. In addition to
the above there is an additional rro-
vision for all other couuries making
displays , which is , that no county shall
receive less than two hundred dollars
cash award if its display is of recog
nized merit.
The importance of a large and full
display of agricultural products is rec
ognized by every one at all familiar
of remarkable set-pieces have been
prepared which will illustrate some of
the principal events of the late var.
Horse races by electric light , and
ghost dances by half-civilized Indians ,
and scores of other attractions will be
seen , leaving little or nothing to bo
desired in this line.
The widespread interest which the
Indian congress aroused tt the expo
sition of 1898 has induced the manage
ment of the Greater America enter
prise to give this feature a prominent
place in the list of attractions. Ar
rangements have been made to secure
a large encampment of Indians fem
all the various tribes of the great
west , and assurances have been re-

ceived that the Indians themsalves are
greatly interested and that many noted
chiefs and warriors will be here. The
great war chief Red Clouil and his fam
ily will attend , and a brass band of
Indian boys , the finest murical organ
ization in the southwest , is now kero
and will furnish music for the braves.
Village life and customs will be faith
fully shown , and the war dances and
religious ceremonies of the several
tribes will be enacted. This congress

with American conditions , and the
Greater America Exposition manage
ment is determined to bring this show
up to the demands of public opinion
in every respect.
All counties in the United States are
invited and solicited to make a dis
play , no charge being mide for space
in the agricultural building , and
every assistance possible being , oc-
corded exhibitors in getting their ex-
hioits in place.
The amusement features surpass
those of last year , both in point of
numbers and in the quality of the at
tractions. The Midway is , as usual ,
fantastic , unreal , and bizarre , and yet ,
withal , instructive and entertaining.
The principal features of the Tnms-
Mississippi are seen , but there nra nu
merous new attractions of more than
ordinary interest. Amor.g the latter
will be a Filipino village , with a num
ber of native men , women and child
ren , in their native costumes , and
showing the habits , ceremonies , and
instructive feature , and its like will
probably not be seen for many years
to come , if ever again , it will afford
an opportunity for ethnological sKidy
not to be lightly passed by.
One of the crowning features of the
exposition will be the electrical il
lumination. The display of last year
was conceded to be the most effective
ever arranged , and that has been vast
ly improved upon. The exposition will
be grand and beautiful by day , but
when darkness spreads its sable wings
then will a fairy city spring into txis-
tence , each outline defined , each tow
er and minaret clear cut : nd brilliant
with myriad flashing stars of chang
ing , shimmering lights. Last year 30-
000 electric lights were used in the
illumination of the court of honor ;
this summer 45,000 lights will flash
and gleam from cornice and from arch ,
from balustrade to lofty spire , from
pillared colonnade to gilded dome
reared high in air.

Hawaiian villages , and natives of Porto

to show the daily life and habits
goes
of these people. There is i reproduc
tion of the famous Morro Castle at
streets of all
Havana , scenic theaters ,
nations , and all the various attractions
which go to make up that { rreat amuse
ment resort known as tin ; Midway.
Other amusement features are mag
nificent displays of fireworks , which
are to excel the exhibition of last year
and which will be one of the most
novel attractions
and
beautiful , unique
tions of the exposition. The heavens
will be lighted up with these dazzling
displays of colored lire , and a series

court , gardens of tropical plants wil
bloom by day and blossom in yet mon
brilliant hues by night. Over 3,00 (
lights , clustered and colored to renre

the foliage and give the effect of fairj
j gardens the like of which has nevei
been equaled or approached. Con
cealed lights will throw into bold reliel
each group and figure of statuary up
on the buildings.
Upon the Midway there will no sys
tem or plan of lighting , but each con
cession will rival its neinhbor in the
brilliance of the electrical display.
The Horticulture building at the
Greater America Exposition in Omaha
this summer will be a grana floral con
servatory. Gardener Ulrhh will fill il
with great palms and the richest trop
ical flowers , while hundreds of the
rarest songsters and birds of plumage
will make their homes -in-idst its flo

CINCINNATI , 0. , July 15. J. T
Thoburn of the Methodist Episcop ;
church , who has spent forty years \
a missionary , mostly in India , is he ;
with his family , some of whom are i
ill health. . . The bishop spent son
time In Manila in March last and w :
rn intelligent observer of events. I.
says there is no doubt that the ou
break between the Americans and Fil
pines was intended by Filipino leade
to include a general massacre in tl
city of Manila. He cited in proof <
this the testimony of two Filipir
servants who were summoned to se
vice in the army by Aguinaldo , an
who dared not disobey , but wt
warned their American employers i
Iveep within doors that night , as ordei
liad been given to kill all Europcar
found on the street. Another evident
was the finding of five thousand ne
knives stored in a Catholic churcl
Only the splendid discipline of tli
American troops prevented the mai
sacre in Manila.
The bishop was in London when tl
thrilling news of Dcwey's visit cam
' .t was universally understood , he sail
; hat it meant the permanent posse ;
sion of the Philippines by the Unite
States. To questions put to him wh
3ewey did not leave Manila after h
rictory , he said the shortsightedness t
.he United States government made
mpossible. Dewey had not co :
mough to carry him to the neare :
American coaling station and he we
jound to take Manila in self defensi
The whole history of the present Phi
ppine situation showed such a naturj
ind logical and even inevitable couit
) f events that the United States i
jound to assert its authority there.
Anarchy and assassination , he d (
: lares , would follow the withdraw
if the United States forces. The enl
rouble lies in the Luzon island. A
he other islands are peaceful. Th
> ishop thinks the proper policy of tii
Jnited States is to enlist the men c
he other islands , who are the nature
inemies of the inhabitants of Luzoi
o fight Aguiualdo's army. Officere
> y Americans , they would quickly dis
> ese of the few men that Aguinald
an muster.
Viewing the situation in the far cas
rom the standpoint of a missionar
if forty years in that part of the worh
he bishop was impressed with th
act that it was the duty of the Unite
States forced upon the circumstance
if the Spanish war , to hold the Phil
ppines , and to preserve order , and es
end civilized government in that vas
egion. Moreover , in the interest c
norality and Christianity , he hope
or the dissolution of the Chinese em
lire , which he characterized as th
nest helpless government on eartl
n that event Russia should have
lortion. giving it an available Pacifi
tort. England , though tavoring th
ntegrity of the Chinese empire , al
eady has in mind the valley of th
Tang-tse-Kiang as its share. Th
Jnited States should have its portio
if the coast opposite the Philippines
luch a division of China would brin
intold blessings to the people of tha
mpire , and would advance the civili
aticm of the whole world.
The bishop declines to discuss th
ubject from the standpoint of Ameri
an politics , but he says he cannot ini
.glue why the United States Phoul
brink from giving up her exclusiv
iclicy and hesitate to take her plac
.mong the nations when the duty i
o manifestly thrust upon her. I
! hina falls to pieces , as nearly all we ]
nformed people believes she will , i
rould be unwise , if not morally wrong
o concede that the European nation
lave a right to settle the destiny o
hat great empire without any refer
nee to America. The United State
lust inevitably become the dominat
og naval power of the Pacific ocean
nd if such a future is in store fo
ier she certainly ought to hold ai
mportant section of the coast line eastern
astern Asia.

guests. At the junctions of Thir
Market and Kearney streets the crow <
were immense and the three mornii
papers which have offices on the co

other to see which could make tl
most noise. A curious sight was lei
streamers of immense firecracke

patents to cliizens of the United
States. Of this num
ber 155 had solil
either the entire 01
part of their interests
in their invention ! ;
before the patents
were issued. This
would show that more
than a quarter of the
Inventors have been successful , and is
probably an indication why so many
applications are filed in the Patent
Office. It is certainly safe to assume
that at least 10 par cent of inventors ,
who were unable to sell before they
had their patents issued , will be able
to dispose of their inventions now that
they have been secured by a titlo.
Among the largest concerns buying
patents were the following :
