AS WE SAW IT
THE TRANSMISSISSiPPI EX

n Short Description of tlte
Various Ills Buildings
As a guest of the F E M VI
railroad the editor ot this paper last
week visited Omaha and the great
Transmississippi Exposition Among
the othernewspaper people from the
northwest who participated in this ex
cursion wsre the editors of the Chad

Dealer and ONeill Independent
We will omit a description of the trip
and its gaieties after we reached
Omaha because a description would
of necessity be full of superlatives
and our stock would run low before
we came to the Exposition
Starting from the Paxton hotel city
ticket office of the F E M V at
10 oclock the bhos about 125 of
them in all boarded special cars and
were whirled to the grounds of this
greatest of all worlds shows m charge
of the genial and obliging Major Clark
son fbi nierly commander of the Nat
ional G A R Entering the grounds
at the Sherman avenue entrance we
were guided to the east end of the
Canal Court and there the beauties of
the Exposition architecture unfolded
themselves Profiting by experience
gained at the Columbian and Cotton
States Expositions the architects have
been able to produce a collection of
buildings that are superior to anything
ever before attempted The buildings
are compact yet seem to gain strength
size arid beauty by reason of this com
pactness
To the left from our point of view
at the foot of the Sherman avenne via
duct is the auditorium and here
musical recitals will be given and pub
lic meetings held This building will
seat several thousand people and its
acoustic properties are perfect pro
ceeding westward we came to the
Liberal Arts building All space in
this building was taken for exhibits so
quickly that an annexhas been add
ed Next is the Mines and Mining
building and in this will be found the
largest and most complete exhibit of
ores mining methods aud products
ever brought together Between this
building and Fine Arts is the great
Arch of States at the Twentieth street
or principal entrance to the grounds
Fine Arts is- an inspiring classical
Greek structure ami will be filled with
fine paintings and statuary from all
portions ot the globe
At the west end of the Canal Court
stands the magnificent stiucture erect
ed by the United States government
complete in every detail With its
great golden dome and circling colon
nades like giant arms reaching from
the building to Fine Arts on the south
and Agriculture on the north it is a
typical representation of our great
nation fostering the humblest yet
most necessary the highest and most
cultivating of industries embracing
like a tond parent the two dissimilar
children Ait and Agriculture and
overlooking with watchful eye her no
less loved children Manufactures
Machinery Electricity and Mines
ranged round the court All depart
ments of our government will be rep
resented in the exhibit and they were
being unpacked wbile we visited the
building
Passing around the Mirror the
trefoil end of the Grand Canal we en
tered the Agricultural building Huge
yet symmetrical in its proportions it
will be a bower of beauty aud a grand
monument to the oldest of industries
when filled with exhibits Leaving
Agriculture we see the Administration
Arch and through it catch a glimpse
of the old fair grounds the Transpor
tation building the Irrigated Farm
the space reserved for the Indian Con
gress the live stock pens and sheds
and the end of the Midway
Through the Arch we go and enter
Manufactures Space in this mam

been built In the galleries of the
main building will b the educational
exhibit A personal examination of
the drawings for the detail work show
that this exhibit will be one of the
finest at the Exposition -East of this
building is Machinery and Electricity
This will contain the great iron
steis wnicn nave so much contributed
to the advancement of the world to
gether with a multitude of ingenious
electrical appliances Edison Tesla
and othergreat electricians will -contribute
toward making the exhibit in
this building a success At the north
east corner of this tract is the Girls
ana uoys building built with the-
contributions of school children
Crossing Sherman avenue we visit
ed the Bluff Tract overlooking the
Missouri river and the western part
of Iowa Here are the various state
buildings with Nebraska Illinois and
Iowa as queens the Streets of Cairo
and a few other interesting features
crowded off the Midway This entire
tract is a beautiful park with fine
lawns flowers and trees and the im
mense Horticultural Hall crowns the
southern end of same In this tract
also is the Miibic Pavilion which will
be used for open air concerts At the
north Is the power house and a via
duct leaditPg to the Midway and North
tract
The Canal Court is paved with vit
rified brick and walks are of ma
cadam Thousands of electric lights
arc and incandescent- will illuminate
the grounds wheel chairs aud gondo
las cars and electric launches will pro
vide means of locomotion two mam
moth restaurants will feed the hungry
lavatories will cleanse the travel stain
ed thousands of chairs aud bench s
will give rest to the weary fountains
will furnish water for the thirsty
guides will direct the stranger and
guards protect the unwary in fact
everything will be done that can be
done to provide entertainment recre
ation and education for the multitudes
who will visit the exposition
May the list of Cherry county peo
ple who visit the fair be larger than
any qther

Bicycle Troubles
One of the most amusing things ot
the week occurred Saturday when Ed
Clarke and Pete Donoher tried to ride
a bicycle Ed and Pete are direct
opposites in point of size and while
Ed kept his rotund figure swaying
like a balloon Petes mosquito like
form cut fantastic figures in the cir
cumambient atmosphere No causu
alities but there are holes in the earth
now where hills were before Martin
Christensen tried the wheel Sundav
and he says the blamed thing is harder
to control than- the pop party First
the machine wants to go it alone then
it would be in favor of fusion with
Martins legs finally there would be a
split and a general mixup but he
noticed that when the wheel was let
alone it generally came to a standstill
and he had to pick it up fiefore tall
he hopes to have everything running
smoothly and expects to distance all
competitors
