IOWA'S EXHIBIT.
How It is Being Put in Shape at the
Hew Orleans Exposition ,
Difllcultics.
The last number of the Exposition
[ owan gives n lengthy but interesting
account of , the progress of the work of
Dtoparlng the exhibit of thia state. The
accident which befell part of the goods
u shipment fs already familiar to TUB
BEE readers. It has necessarily caused
great delay and damage , but a noble
rally la being mado. Superintendent
Ohaao knowing that his pyramid for the
grains of Iowa hod boon destroyed ,
promptly gave an order for a now one to
DO built. Professors Akora and MoBrldo
were the first to take off their coata
but they discovered that their education
al exhibits had boon limited to a apace of
only 20x35 foot. After throe days pro
testing and beseeching they secured
donble this apace , and wont to work preparing -
paring the exhibits. It waa Intended
only to provide tables and racks , but
when it became apparent that adjoining
spaces were being adorned handsomely ,
a decorator was employed , handsome
doalgna selected , and Iowa's educational
apace speedily transformed into a parlor.
The space on the ground floor , intended
for the general state exhibit la 65x185
foot , and platted Into four main divis
ions with a circle in the middle of it.
These divisions are awarded to the agri
cultural department , the flour
and grain _ exhibit , th0
mechanical exhibit , 'and the fourth t ,
the geological exhibit of wood , fruit , etc ,
the Intervening spaces to bo filled with
miscellaneous articles. With lumber and
ether articles ordered in the city , five
miles away , with rainy and cold weather ,
and the rush on all sides , it has been
alow work to get the exhibits In shape.
Col. Brackott , much disappointed at
the preparation and temperature for hia
fruit in the horticultural hall , decided to
make his largest display in the state ex
hibit.
The superintendent to whoso lot una
voidably came the moat annoyance , was
Del , 0. W. Huntington. He had just un
loaded upon tho'Iowa apace splendid
specimens of carriages , wagons , reapers ,
scales , barb-wire , * etc. , when the man
agement of the exposition Interposed an
objection to the placing of rronuinstnrod
products and heavy machinery in the
government building , claiming that it did
not properly belong In the states' display
but in the main building. The contro
versy at last accounts waa still unsettled.
There haa been great delay getting the
woman's work department adjusted.
Mrs. Scott had agreed go with ether
states , upon certain conditions , in the
gallery opposite the Iowa apace , but after
numerous meetings and conferences the
the chiefs of the department have not
boon able to make much progress toward
getting ready for the several lady super
intendents to place their goods.
The sanitary exhibit was ready for
Inspection on the opening day.
In the contorof the Iowa apace , a week
or moro ago , the much talked of corn
tionao waa erected and In charge of Mra.
T. S. Dunham. Owing to the rainy
weather much of the corn sent the lady
was damaged , It will require a week
longer to complete it.
From the review of the work that has
boou done on the Iowa exhibit , It will bo
Inferred , and rightly too , that a largo
amouht of work remains to bo done , but
as nearly every othoratato ia In the same
condition , the Iowa commissioners fools
that they have company. The work will
all bo completed by January 10th or 15th.

If one half that la currently reported
concerning the treatment of the small
pox case , la trno , there ahould bo At
offlcbl liive'Ugatlon , nnd conauro placed
upon whoever hna boon in fault. The
girl named Froharty , who was taken
down , was removed from her homo on
Seventh street to the pcat-houao , and
the homo quarantined. The girl
nay have boon properly cared for there ,
but , if not , It will bo very dlflicult to
got at the facts. The poor girl died
there Friday night. The family , quar
antined at tholr own homo , are Bald to
have boon neglected both na rogarda
food and clothing , and It la said they
have actually Buffered from hunger nnd
fro01 cold. The bedding and bed which
was in the houao when the girl was
taken sick were burned by the authorities
md some blankets sout to the houao to
ako the place , but it ia said that moat of
blankets were taken with the girl
to the pose house , leaving the family
without sufficient bedding. It is claimed
that there was a lack of food also , and
some private parties have sought to re-
llovu the wants by Bonding in clothing
and food. Tbo daughter has thus boou
taken away to dlo in a pest house , and
bo burled with none of
the family noar. The girl
was romovad from her homo on ono of
the worst days of the season , and this
may have caused her death. To satisfy
those who believe that the family have
not boon used humanely , there should
bo an official investigation , and this
should bo done in justice to those trho
have by tholr official position had some
thing to do with the matter , nnd yet are
not to blamo. If there has boon neglect ,
it should bo known , end the neglect
should bo placed at the rijht door.
