THE RETURN OF "OUR" TRAIN
Thn Nebra'ka Advertising Train Arrived 1 n
Omaha Yostovday Morning.
FROM A JOURNEY OF OVER 2,200 , MILES.
It Is Estimated Hint Moro Thau
ino.OUU People VlHileU the
Train Iurlur Its Trip-
All Kiitruisliiaelc.
Yesterday at 10:30 : o'clock the Nebraska
advertising train pulled into the union depot
Bt Omaha , uftor a trip through eastern states
consuming twenty-two days. During this
time the delegates in charge of the exhibit
ave traveled ever 2,200 mlles , and have ex
hibited at forty-ulno cuios and towns in
Jowa , Illinois , Indiana , Ohio and Pennsyl
vania.
The route taken was ever the Chicago ,
Turlington & Qulnoy from Omaha to Chicago
cage , then ever the Pennsylvania road to
Kochoster , Pa. , then back by way of the PanHandle -
Handle to Chicago and over the Chicago &
Northwestern baek to Omaha.
At every point where a stop was made the
people flocked to the train in crowds , not only
the towns uooplo , but farmers uamo in from
every dlroctlon.somo of tuem from o distance
of ton to twenty miles.
It was a great surprise to these people to
pnzo upon such splendid products of the
soil and the visitors were loud In tholr
praises.
The newspapers nil along the route spoke
roost highly of the exhibit and although a
California aud a .Florida train had been over
n good deal of the ground , the showing made
by Nebraska was pronounced nhoiul of
nnvthlng ever before seen. "From God's
country , " was tno way ono onthusiaulc jour
nal headed its account of iho train. Some
idea of the interest taken in the train by
eastern people may bo gather from the fact
that thu p.ublle schools wcra dismissed in
many places to allow the children to see the
exhibit.
It Is estimated that 150,000 people
Visited the tram during iho trip ,
nnd a whole car load of printed matter was
distributed among thom.
SntlHlled AVItli the Trip.
Tbo gentlemen in charge of the train are
most onthuslnstln ever the result of the trip
und are already talking about repeating the
same thing on u much larger scale next
year. Kullrotui men who have taken great
interest in the scheme suftgott that
next time they should take with
n full train with an exhibit covering every
branch of of industry and continue tha trip
clear to Boston , covering Now York mid the
Now Knglund state * Iu a most thorough man
ner.
"Welcomed Homo.
After doing so much to turn the atten
tion of the pcoplo of the east toward

od un " the broad avenue loading up
Into the city from the depot ,
yelling at the top of his voice
"Gltouten do road hero comes , Nebraska on
wheels. I sprung up on do pr.irloI ! did pit
out or my way. "
As soon as the train reached Omnha Eph
crabbed a lot of hand bills and started out to
lot folks know that the train was
hero. It is quito probable Unit ono of
the delegates from the Interior of tUo state
will take the lud homo with him.
Not In it With Nebraska.
The easterners frankly acknowledged that
they wore not hi it with Nebraska when It
canio to raising notatoes , and many of them
offered SA cents for single tuber for seed , hut
not a thing was sold. What few specimens
could bo spaicd wore freely given away , but
it was at the risk of exciting jealousy in the
crowd. Corn was also bogged , particularly
sweet corn , anu when it was impossible to
got any , as was generally the case , kernels
were surreptitiously picked from the oars
along the sides of tlio car. There is abund
ant evidence of this kinil of pettv pilfering ,
although the guilty parties undoubtedly
thought they were Justified imdor the cir
cumstances.
At Masslllon a woman picked'up an ear of
sweet corn from the touclns ) > county exhibit
and carried it away. Mr. VVnlsh soon missed
it and otTorod S10 for its recovery , Ono of
the other delegates discovered the purloiner
on the platform mid the missing oar was ro-
turned. It was necessary all the while to
keep n strict watch on the exhibits , as tl.o
people were bound to have some of the sam
ples for seed.
A ] ar of Japanese buckwheat is to bo soul
back to Uussell Bros , at MasMllon , O , as
they extracted that promise from the dele
gates while the train was thero.
It was found ililllcult to keep the people
moving through the cars in order to give
everybody a chance , and the delegates had to
constantly hurry thom along , The train did
not travel at night , and every evening tno
cars were open. While in uhlo ono enthusi
ast declared that the exhibit was all right ,
nut that Ohio had a squash that Nebraska
could not equal. Ho ottered to pay the ex
penses of a delOL'ato to go ana sco it in case
it should bo found that ho was wrong.
The offer was accepted , and the Ohio far
mer had to foot the bill , for when ho pro
duced a vegetable weighing ninety-eight
pounds , the Nebraskans coolly led him un
and Introduced him to the ISVpoundor from
Morrlck county. It took nearly a quart of
stimulant to rovlvo him.
The delegates workqdlrard ; In fact , there
was so much rivalry between thom in getting
hold of the press representatives ana show
ing up the products of tnoir own counties
that it engendered such a feeling of jealousy
that the association committee had to t.iko
hold of the matter and make an inlloxlblo
rule that all press men wcro .to bo at once
turned over to the commltto and shown
through the train by them. This was to
avoid any discrimination , but ovou then the
energetic delegates found an opportunity to
got in a few good words for their special
charges ,
Omniums See tlio Train.
The train was on exhibition yoilanlay at
Eighth aud Jones streets , und will bo disman
tled thotirstof the woek.
The cars will not bo open today , as this
Is the Sunday rule that has boon in force
during the entire trip , owing to the wishes
of some of the delegates ,
Of course the exhibits are not as fresh as
when they started , but are remarkably well
preserved considering their long trip.
The vegetables uro somewhat wilted , but
the cars have beau kept clean by the untir
ing efforts of the delegates. The exterior
decorations were somewhat soiled t > y a de
posit of soot during a heavy rain , but alt in
all everything Is la good shape , and oven at
the end of the trip the exhibit is ono of
which Nebraska may well fool proud.

The plans are completed and all estimates

Wo would bo satistled If wo could get off
with that but us soon as the poles coran down
und tlioiiesnro underground hero in the
heart of the city folks farther out will begin
to kick for the same thing , and it will
probably cost another $100,000 before long to
extend the conduits. It is so all ever the
country , the same as it is with paving. You
pave a few blocKs on a street und the folks
bavond it want it extended.
"Our plans call forsomo radical changes In
the fitting up of a telephone , and made quito
a stir when wo proposed it , but it moots with
favor now. Instead of running our cables
direct from our conduits to a shaft and up to
the top of our building wo head them in the
basement througli all tno arresters und then
run only light cables to tlio switchboards on
Iho top lloor. Wo will have to put more
cables in the conduits than wo need at pres
ent but we will not have to run them farther
than the b.uoraunt , tuus doing away with the
cost of heavj and expensive cables to the top
lloor. It will also leave us the operators'
room for that work exclusively.
"Our switchboard will cost $15,000 , and
these now in use will bo thrown
out. Kvor.v subscriber will have a
complete metallic circuit , ns tno wires In the
cable are in pairs , Kach cable thus contains
200 wires und ovorv conduit ! , ( ! ! ) j wires. At
the otitiot wo will have to lay lf > 00 wires.
Our new system will bo as complete as the
latest improvements can make it. Thn build
ing would have boon enclosed this fail if the
council had not delayed so long about the
Douglas street grade , t > o it Is not our fault
that a modern , stona trimmed brick struc
ture is not now standing at the southwest
corner of Eighteenth and Douglas streets. "
