CIIIOAOO , III. , Oct. 20. The formal dedica
tion ot the World's Columbian exposition
affords tbu ilrsl opportunity for public ex
amination , crliiclsm nnd approval or dis
approval ot the buildings to bo devoted to
this great International enterprise. The Information -
formation which has previously gone to tlio
public has been fragmentary , Incomplete
nnd to u great extent prospective rather
than of that official or authoritative
diameter which can only nrlso from prac
tical results , Today finds oil the great
buildings , which only oxlstcd to the archi
tectural eye twelve months ago , now prac
tically completed and ready for the installa
tion of exhibits. In the quick succession
wltn which the waves ot progress und en
terprise liavo succeeded each oilier some
changes have naturally been made nnd a , '
u result au educational building not ycl
begun may find a place among the othoi
great structures of the fair before the Corma
opening on the 1st of May. With Iho growll
und development of the original plans the
financial necessities ot the fair have also Ire
mcndously increased , but public entnusiasn
has fortunately kept pace with this rapid dc
vclopmcut until Iho contemplated j5UOOUK ,

buildings in the remarkable short time is b

The example of his unceasing onerg' '

HEI.J If N-jbrasita did nothing moro at the
World's fulr ihnn furnish the hammer to
drive the lust nail In the woman's building ,
that ono act would show in a rcrrmrktiblo do-
arco the progr"sslvc naluro of the people
nnd the wonderful versatility of tnelr
genius. It is an emblem of uumy of the Itn-
nortant periods In the History of the stato.
Part of the handle ' .s made from a bit of the
old llagstuff which waa erected at Fort Phil
Koarupy in 1S4S , Another place Is taken
from a tree grown on the lirst homestead In
the United Slates. Still another , commem
orating an action which has become national
in Its character , is Iho contribution of wood
from the estate * of Hon. J , Sterling Merion ,
the originator of Arbor day. And last , a
small ploco of wood comes from the State
university hall , the first college building
erected within the stato. The stale coat ot
orais engraved on the face of the hammer ,
the stars and stripes on the Hag , and the

Mrs. May F. Kunan of Sidnoy.
Among the numerous other rollcs which

This Is the way Dr.- Chan Gee Wo , ono of

Miss Cora DaWlit ot Omaha which led up
to their marriage Mdndlv night In this cllv

Dr. Wo is n thoroughly Americanized
Chinaman , having parted with his queue and

Ho is a vpry intelligent man and speaks
Encash fluently. His wife is a talented

The public school system of Nebraska is
one in which every citi/.Jn takes great pride.
This exhibit will lib made in detail and will

of this dlsplnv Is in comnotPnt hands and
will undoubtedly meet all anticipations ,
\ . Ill Show Our Soil's CapHbillllcM.
It is in horticulture and agriculluro , how
ever , that Nebraska will attract most otto n-
ion. The fertility and adaptability of the
soil to bring forth products In greater variety
ind abundance than tbo soils of iho eastern
slates is u fact that bus been known for aomo
lirno. but the extent of this superiority has
never been so fully sot forth as it will bo this
next year at the World's fulr. TUJ state
: ias bean granted an ample space
for all exhibits of Ibis charac-
r lor and Iho commissioner. ) have loft
L no stone unturned to secure the best products
of the slate , Nebraska's fruits are becoming
better known all the time , and she is not only
supplying the largo population of her own
f stale , butts furnishing thousands of pounds
to other states. The dairy display is another
which cannot /all to take an iirportant place
among the exhibits iu the building set apart
for that purpose.
Nebraska , does not boast ot her forestry
industry , but this is not because she has not
made progress in this direction. TUo latest
statistics show Uiat by her admirable meth
ods of cnituro the timber growth hush. ,
rreasod by a very largo percentage since the
state was first settled. Almost/ everything
in that line is now reduced to a system , and
tlio future will show throat advancement over
tlio past , us will bo fully demonstrated oy
the exhibits in the forestry bunding. As an
example of the character of ll'iibor grown In
the slate , two logs cut in Sioux county will
bo shown. They are from thosamo tree and
are each twcnty-tlvo feet in length , the di
ameter ut the top nnd base beiop almost
equal. .
Nebrasua's farmers and stock growerj
have not neglected this opportunity to show
what can bo douo In that stnto in the stock
business. They have engaged ample space ,
and protnlso cutnos which they claim will bo
able to carry away some of the grand prizes ,
It is [ o the state bulldlucr , however , that
the attention ol most people will bu directed ,
Us situation is admirable. It is on the north
eido of the Fifty-seventh fatrrot boulevard ,
the main entrance to the park , and Is iho
iirsl building beyond the ornamental bridge
which spans the minlaturo laku just within
the gates. To the north Is the North Dakota

The Nebraska structure U two stories in

It would have been all day with the profes

The ugjy brute reached for him soveru
