Trans Mississippi and Interna
tional Exposition at Omaha has
been thrown open and all the world
is invited to see the great and varied re
sources of the great West The culmina
tion of the work of the past eighteen
months has been reached and all is now
ready for inspection
It was a second past noon Wednesday
when the wheels in Machinery Hall com
menced to turn President McKinley
pressed a button in Washington and made
the connection which started the machin
ery in motion In an instant fifty bands
sent forth sweet music but were almost
drowned by the cheers from thousands of

throats Flags waved everywhere As
there was a lull in the cheers the great
chimes in the dome of the Federal Build
ing clanged out their greeting and every
musical instrument on the grounds
changed its notes and Columbia stirred
the vast multitude to its very center This
was the conclusion of the dedicatory ex
ercises
At 9 oclock in the morning the civic
parade started from the city to the
grounds It was five miles long and hun
dreds of uniformed secret societies from
Nebraska and the adjacent States were
n
winged and draped is the principal ex
terior adornment of this building In each
of the twin buildings there are six galler
ies two large and four small for the
hanging of the works of art Every avail
able inch of space on the walls has been
allotted and it has been found necessary
to curtail the offerings
The arch of States the main entrance
to the exposition grounds is between
the fine arts building and the structure
devoted to displays classified under the
liberal arts Symbolical statuary is the
exterior adornment on this building
Prosperity supported by Labor
and Integrity being the features
Next in order on the south side of the
lagoon is the mines and mining building
in which are shown specimens of the rich
es that honeycomb the mountains of Col
orado Montana Nevada and their sis
ter States The architecture is of the
Greek Ionic order the interior lighted by
a circular dome ISO feet in circumference
Last on the southern side of the lagoon
is the auditorium building for the use of
the great assemblages of the exposition
the concerts by the monster choruses and
the performances of the musical master
pieces by organizations such as the Apollo
Club of Chicago The building is attract
ive in architectural design and has a seat
ing capacity of 5000
Agriculture has the
first place on the
north side of the la
goon adjoining the
government build
ing Adjoining it is

tures is the next link
in this great arena of
the arts and scien
ces To the top Of E KOSEWATER

building the distance is So feet The ex
terior decorations are typical of the title
of the building 12 magnificent statues

of ground space is set aside for th
poultry coops and small buildings are

greater results from the soil they culti

represented The entire city was dec
orated with flags and patriotic streamers
and the streets through which the col
umn paraded were like a sea of the red
white and blue President Gurdon W
Wattles in a carriage led the procession
followed by the directors and other officers
of the exposition The Marine Baud of
Washington led all music societies A
military display of 10000 troops was ex
pected but the soldiers having been called
away to fight the battles of their country
this feature had to be dropped
In the groat auditorium Dr Samuels
of St Louis assisted by a number of
other prominent clergymen delivered the
official prayer Nearly every exhibit was
in place and no half finished buddings or
scaffolding were left to mar the beauty
of the surroundings More than a thou
sand men were engaged night and day on
the grounds the past ton days in order
that the expositon might be opened in its
completeness
Omahas exposition is not a Chicago
Worlds Fair in magnitude but it is in
magnificence The grounds are a para
dise of beauty and the buildings are mag
nificent in appearance For the good re
sults achieved the people of this city and
State owe much to the president of the
fair Gurdon W Wattles and to his able
corps of assistants both men and women
One of the pleasing features of- the
grounds is the beautiful lagoon into
which the purified water of the Missouri
Kiver has been turned At the western
end of the lagoon is the Government
building a notable example of the Ionic
style of architecture It overlooks the
entire lagoon its main buildings being
topped by a massive dome surmounted by
a heroic figure of Liberty Enlightening
the World It is built in three sections
and is 00i feet in length The torch held
aloft by Liberty is ITS feet from the
ground Immediately in front of this
building is the water mirror built in the
form of a trefoil its ground edges being
surrounded by an attractive peristyle
Skirting the lagoon on the southern side
are four of the main buildings of the ex
position On its northern sic- are three
more and the smaller building devoted to
the use of the boys and girls who come to
see the Wests great show First on the
southern side and adjoining the Govern
ment building is the structure devoted te
exhibits of the fine arts twin structures
each 90 by 130 feet separated by a court
Inclosed by a peristyle Fame female-
have done in devising mans means of
making life more worth the living
Around the lagoon on all of its four
sides are pillars 15 feet high and about
the same distance apart each sur
mounted by a stud of a dozen incan
descent lights There are at least a
hundred of these pillars with 1000
lights in all These added to the arc
lights and incandesceuts studding the
fronts of the buildings that line the
lagoon and the radiance shed from the
windows of the buildings at night make
the court of honor at Omahas exposition
a feature of magnificent beauty and gran
deur
The boys and girls building the last on
the north side of the lagoon is really the
womans building of the exposition It is
100 feet square and in its center a hall is
provided for lectures and entertainments
interesting to mothers and instructive to
the little ones The building is named for
the boys and girls of the West because
