An editorial bearing upon the Sugar trust
and Its relations to the Nebraska beet sugar
industry , which appeared In The lice of n
itci'til date , has brought up the old qucs-
lon of the ownership of the Nebraska sugar
. , n-t factories , K. A. Fry In writing from
. .Inbrara to The Dee says : "In your editorial
. n the Sugar trust In The Duo of November
. I you Infer that the Norfolk beet sugar
lattery sells to all who call , or In other
/onls , that It l not In the trust. Now , Is
it not a fact that the 3,000,000 pounds that
the storehouse of
on say are piled up In
ho beet sugar factory nt Norfolk Is stored
thereat thu bidding of the trust , and not
for HIP want of customers In Nebraska ? As
soon as I read your edllorlal I went to one
of our merchants and asked him If he ever
tried to gt-t Norfolk sugar. He replied that
ho could not get It. " Mr. Fry then goes on
to explain the method of selling sugar by
which the freight is added and then says :
"From my Information the Norfolk factory
will not sell without Its Instructions from
the trust , not even to the Omaha wholesale
merchants. Here Is where the Injustice to
our consumers comes In. As a matter of
business , why not be honest and say that
It pays better to wait for the trust's orders ,
Just as you , a vender of news , are willing
: o acknowledge ! that The lice Is In business
for profit ? What I am unable to see , as n
.irotectlonlst , Is why It Is wise to perpetuate
a hateful Institution In the state nn Institu
tion that fears to compete like other Insti
tutions , but must be protected by unlawful
means. If any manufactory conies to Ne
braska It Is worthy of Nebraska support , but
when It will not permit that support what
ore you to do ? "
WHY IS THU PUGAIl RTOHBD ?
A representative of The lice called upon
a number of prominent business bouses that
handle sugar , both In n wholesale and retail
way , with a view to solving , If possible , the
two ( filiations raised In the above communi
cation , namely , "Do the Nebraska sugar
factories belong to1 the trust , or If they arc
not under the control of the trust why Is It
that they hnvo been compelled to store so
much sugar Instead of finding a ready mar
ket for It ? "
The belief that the Nebraska factories be
long to the Sugar trust , notwlthutandlng the
denial of the people who are operating them ,
ocems to bo quite widespread , especially
among the retail trade of the slate. The
reason usually given for this belief Is that
the Norfolk and Grand Island factories will
only sell to Jobbers and that they must be
under the authority of the trust or they
would not follow the sjino rules as the
trust. ICdward Hayden of Haydeu Dros.
said thnt he had offered to buy their sugar
In car lots , paying the regular price , but
that they would not sell to him and he Is
compelled to buy his sugar at the few Inde
pendent refineries to bo found In the south ,
lie hns five cars bought now and says that
all the sugar made In Nebraska would bu
like n speck of dust In the ocean as com
pared to the * total amount of sugar used In
this country. It will be noted that Mr.
Ilaydcn takes the same stand as the grocer
of N'lobrara quoted by Mr. Fry , that If the
factories In question did not belong to the
trust they would sell to retailers.
The brokers who are handling sugar , how
ever , give a different Interpretation to thin
matter they say that the Nebraska sugar
manufacturers do not belong to the trust
and are free to sell to anyone.but that they
have to draw the Hue somewhere. It Is a
well known custom that a manufacturer
must sell to ono clasa exclusively. If he
wishes to sell to the Jobber ho cannot go
out and sell to the retail merchants , who
are supposed to bo the customers of the
Jobber , any more than a Jobber could sell
to private consumers and then expect the
retail merchants to buy of him. The Ne
braska sugar people have seen lit to solicit
the Jobbing trade.
FUKK TO 8151,1. , AS TI1RY WISH.
Local brokers deny that the trust Inter
feres with the bi'slness of the Norfolk or
Grand Island people In the least , but that
Nebraska sugar Is free to go Into any state
or locality where the freight rates will ad
mit of It. The manufacturers , however ,
strive to sell v.here the rates nro to their
advantage. Last year a third of the product
of the Grand Island factory went Into Colorado
rado , ns the price there was as good and
much nf the time better than In the state.
Nebraska sugar Is handled by the Jobbers of
Minneapolis , St. Paul , Sioux City. St. Joe ,
Kansas City and at many other points , as
well as by the Jobbers of Nebrn&ka. The
brokers furthermore explain thnt the rea
son why the Nebraska people are obliged
to store their sugar Is because the output
of their factories docs not come Into market
until after the heavy demand for sugar In
cident to the fall canning of fruit Is over
with. The Jobbers buy early In the sea
son , and at that time there Is a big de
mand and the sugar moves off freely , but
nt this season the demand Is limited and
there Is a strong pressure to sell on the
part of all refineries having stocks. It Is
claimed that the Western Sugar Hcflnlng
company of San Francisco hns now fifty
cars of sugar along the Missouri river seek
ing a market.
C. 11. Plcki-n , manager of the Paxton &
Gallagher company , said that according to
the best Information at hand the Nebraska
beet sugar factories do not belong to the
trust. Ho thought the Impression that such
was the case was duo to the faet that a
brother of ( ho Oxnards was connected with
the Western Sugar Refining company of San
Francisco. "I do not think that they are
under the dictation of the trust In the least
or that the trust Interferes with them. The
Nebraska sugar docs not come Into the mar
ket until early In October after the big de
mand Is over with. With the closing of the
fall canning season the market , under the
Influence of the lessened demand , gradually
declines and no Jobber Is willing to buy
any great quantity of sugar. Of course one
might sny. what docs one-eighth of a cent
on a pound amount to. but it amounts to
$50 a car Just the same.
JOHHKIIS SUM , HO.M 3 PKOIU'CT.
"Our books show that we bought 10 per
cent more sugar In September than In Oc
tober , and November's pun-buses will ho
still smaller than those for October. For
the reason that the Nebraska sugar manu
facturers come Into the market so late
In the fall I have often advised them to
ctorc their sugar and hold It until the
spring demand and then sell on a better
market. The Jobbers In Nebraska sell all
the Nebraska sugar that they can. but of
course there are- certain kinds that ore not
made at either Norfolk or Grand Island
which wo have to obtain In the east , and
then. loo. there are a few people who will
hnvo California sugar. The city trade de-
niams ! sugar In barrels ami that has to
come from outside of Nebraska as our people
ple pack In sacks only. The fact Hint the
Nebraska factories ulll sell to jobbers only
la no indication that they belong to the
trust. In every line of manufacture the
line Is drawn closely a factory that selM
to retailers cutuiot t > rll to Jobbers. "
uuiii JUULIIIM iiu an t\tu liiiuriiiiu re
garding the sugar Inislm-wi give the name ac
count of the relations of the Nebraska sugar
factories ! to the trust us Mr. Pk'ken , and
no far as can ho 1 earn oil there appears to
bo no doubt of their entire Independence
of that great corporation. The jobbers arc
also agreed that the reason for the sugar
accumulating In the factory storehouses la
that the demand at this season U small
and the sugar reflnerlra In every section
of the country meet with the same experi
ence.
Anolhvr feature of the sugar business was
brought out In conversations with brokers
which shons thu necessity of encouraging
the Industry by every means posilble If It
IH the dcalro to Incrcaso the manufacture
of xugar In Nebraska. Nebraska factories
nt the- beat are at a disadvantage us com
pared with those located lu California , for
the reason that the California crop comes
Into market about six weeks earlier , whim
thi > demand Incident to the fall canning
Beacon U at UK height and when prices
ro Hcnerally high. There Is , however , a
largo demand ( or augar at all seasons of
the year and It 1 freely admitted by those
bent Informed us lo the conditions govern
ing the Htignr trade that the product of ten
factories could be iMupcved of In thin Im

The iirruent cold snap hns caused a sud
den Increase In the amount of btiRlncss
transacted at the county store , the county
agent being literally besolgcd during the
earlier part of last week with applications
for assistance. The bulk of thcee applying
for aid were persons who have never before
applied to the county for assistance and they
were unknown to the county agent. As the
county employs but one man whose duty It
Is to Investigate applicants with a view of
detecting frauds , It was necessary for the
county agent to extend assistance lo n small
extent without waiting for a thorough In
vestigation In some cases. At Saturday's
meeting of the board provision was made for
another Inspector.
Iloth the county agent , \V. S. Askwlth ,
ami Judge K. M. Stenbcrg , chairman of the
charity committee of the Hoard of Countj
Commissioners , are of Ihe opinion that the
county will ho more generally called upon
for charitable assistance this winter than
ever before. There aie now about COO
families upon the list of the county agent
who receive aid at regular Intervals. The
amount of assistance rendered these people
Is graduated according to their necessities ,
based upon an Investigation carefully made
by a man employed by the county for that
purpose and upon such reports ns may be
made by the Associated Charities or o'thci
recognized organizations. This aid Is dis
pensed from an Institution known ns "the
county Htorc. " Here the county carries In
stock a supply of the "staples , " ouch as
sugar , beans , potatoes , salt , rice , coffee , otc
These supplies are purchased at wholfsalo
and Issued direct to the consumers. Where
an appllcan. Is able bodied bo b required to
work in the county store putting up the
goods in suitable packages or In doing such
other work ns may be required.
Orders for coal are nlso given to those
whcfip necessities require U. These orders are
filled from the county coal yard at the poor
farm. This coal Is purchased In car lute nt
$2.13 per Ion and Is delivered by men em
ployed by the county for that purpose. Coal
Is being given out nt the rate of between ten
and twelve tons per day. During the month
of September , this year , supplies coating tin
county $3fi wore ISHIICI ! from the countj
store. With cold weather this amount wlfl
bo largely Increased.

Slnco the Tralismlsslsslppl Exposition
seems to bo assured the question of the par
tlculnr ploco of Kromul upon which the
Krcut fair shall be located has nssumei
proinliienco and the advocates of sonu
of the sites which have been siiRKestci
hnvo become most aggressive In their ct
forts to secure t-vcry ndvantaRc In the elce
tlon of directors of the Tralismlsslsslppl as
soclatlon , In order that their favorite site ,
inny bo chosen. So determined did this Huh
become that It threatened to engulf everj
other consideration and this , of Itself , formei
ono of the principal reasons why It was de
cided to postpone the election of directors
until December 1 , Instead of holding It Oc
tuber 1 , as was Intended. Some uf the busl
ness men present at the meeting at whlcl
the postponement was urged upon the pros
cut directory expressed the opinion that b >
postponing the election some of the per
nlclous activity might dlo out and mci
would bo chosen as directors who would de
cldo the question of location purely upoi
Its merits and without regard to local In
Ilucnccs and advantages.
However this may be. there arc a mini
her of sites which have been proposed and
which will be presented to the director *
when the proper time comes. All of tlcsc ;
have their earnest supporters and all have
their advantages , and It has developed vcrj
strongly that the duty of picking out the
particular spot upon which the multitude
of buildings shall bo located will bo ono o
the most difficult of the many duties de
volvlng upon the board of directors.
Up to this time llvo sites have beei
brought to public notice. Thcjulvocates o
some of these have been more agiressivi
than others , but all have been given more
or less prominence. These sites are as fol
lows : Hast Omaha , Ulmwood park , Mllle
park , Hlverview park and a large plat o
ground lying west and northwest of Hans
com park. These sites offer a great scope
as to topography. Some arc flat as n floor
others are decidedly the reverse , while
others are a combination of these extremes
EAST OMAHA'S ADVANTAGES.
"Kast Omaha" Is the name given to a
site lying north of the locality usually dfslg-
rated by that name. As applied to the ex
pedition It refers to a tract of ground lying
between Cut-Off and Klorence lakes. There
are nearly a thousand acres which are
available for exposition purposes. The
ground Is as level as a floor , dotted llherall >
with trcej of a mature growth and plenti
fully supplied with water. On the south
Is Cut-Off lake , a. crescent-shaped body
of water about two and one-half miles In
length and nearly a quarter of a mile In
width at some points. On the north Is
Klorence lake , about threo-quarters of a
mile In length and about an eighth of a
mlle In width. On the east Is the Missouri
river and the advocates of this site claim
that the water of the river may be d'.vertcd '
Into the two lakes named and also Into such
lagoons and smaller lakes as may ho de
sired and then returned to the river again ,
thus making running water In all of the
lakes.
The supporters of this location call atten
tion to the fact that the minimum of grad
ing will bo necessary In order to put the
ground In hapc for the erection of buildIngs -
Ings , but they lay particular stress upon
the fact that an unlimited supply of water
Is at band , which may bo utilized by sim
ply turning It In any direction without hav
ing to pay for the water. The accessibility
of the site Is also made a prominent argu
ment In favor of locating the exposition
there. It Is pointed out that It Is less than
throe miles In a direct line from the post-
olllco and that there are already railroad
tracks galore within a short distance of
It. and plenty of room for more. A paved
street , Sixteenth , already extends almost to
the spot , and the new bridge across the
Missouri river makes the site readily ac
cessible from the Iowa side. This location
has been In strong favor with Council
Dluffij people and It has been announced
a number of times that Council muffs
would refuse to KUbscrlbe to exposition
stock unless the Kast Omaha site was se
lected. This report Is partially supported
by the fact that the list of Council UluffG
subscriptions so far filed with the secre
tary of the Transmlsslsslppl association
contains subscriptions amounting to only
$1,000.
KIi.MWOOD 1'AHK.
At the opposite side of the city lies an
other site which has been prominently men
tioned as u desirable location for the great
exposition , viz. : Elmwood park. This Is a
public park. 21fi acres In extent , lying three
and one-half miles \\est of the postolllcc.
The park was acquired by the city In 1.SSO ,
a part of the present tract being donated
and the remainder purchased by the city.
Nearly J50.000 has been expended In beau
tifying the park and it has become a popular
resort. The land is rolling in character ,
with a deep "draw" or ravine running
through It which might be transformed into
a lake of considerable extent. Several na
tural springs In the eastern part of the park
furnish a considerable quantity of water and
the park board has expended a large sum
of nioney In boring an artesian well , but
\\Itbout any marked success as yet. The
State fair grounds nro located directly south
of tills park and the use of this silo for ex
position purposes contemplates the use of
the ICO acres contained In the fair grounds.
The site Is reached by one line of street
cars and three railway HIIOB.
On the north sldo of the city Is Miller
park , another public park which has been
HUggested and urged as n proper location
for the exposition. This park covers eighty
acres and has a gradual slope. It Is about
four miles from the postofllce and great
stress Is laid upon the fact that the streets
leading lo It are nil of light grade. Two
lines of street cars run nearly to the park
niul the advocates of this site represent that
two other lines may be extended to that
point without great expense. The location
Is provided with sewer facilities and the
largo main of the water works , company
l > asscs near the park. There la no natural
water available for lakes. The mipporters
of this silo have secured leases to surround
ing property to the extent of about 4 < } 0
acres , and the abandoned army post , Foil
Omaha , lies Immediately to the west , mnk-
liu ; about 5.10 acres which would bo availa
ble for exposition purposes.
mVKI .VI13\V 1'AIUC.
In the southeastern part of the city l
ttlvorvlew park , another public park which
lias been prominently before the public for
some time as a site for the exposition. This
! > ark contains sixty-six acrrs and Is situated
little over two mlleu from the postolllce.
The land comprising this park Is very hilly
Tor the most part , but the advocates of this
location as a alto for the exposition have
socur-'d leases on land adjoining the park
on the north and west and aUo on the level
ground lying southeast of the park , aggre
gating about 300 acres In extent. The hilly
( 'haracter of the park Itself l urged tut u
strong argument why It should bo chosen
as u site. It Is proposed to construct u
viaduct ovei the railroad tracks lying be
tween the park proper and the low ground
adjoining on the snuthcaHt , and also to con
struct a pontoon bridge acrrai the Missouri
river to the Iowa side , landing passengers
from the east at the end of the bridge and
bringing them across by means of vehicles.
The innIn argument upon which the advo
cate of tin.nlto rely In Its proximity to the
center of the city. The Tenth street line
already runs to a paint within a short
distance of the park and the Sixth stn-ot.
Thirteenth Btret't and Sixteenth street lines.
It IK arnicd could easily be extended to the
park , while railroad racllltkti could be pro
vided nn the east Hide.
There Is another site which has met with
very strong favor with thoao who BUO what
Ihey regard flu almost fatal objectlonx to
lie other , Bites which have been mentioned.
Thin is a plrct * of ground , about 200 acres
n extent , lying went mid nortliwcut of
luiiKi-om park , Thin tract I * bounded on
he south by { . 'enter street , on thu north by
1'aclllc , on the cast by Thirty-third street ,

where a valley Is forrard > through which the

This formation given aurolllng aspect to the
Bite , which Its advoaatrJH claim would af
ford the most pleturcsfjiifslto for the erec
tion of beautiful tml Ml upj It In nearer the
center of the city tbart ; any of the other
altes. being two mllasi'from the postofflce.
It Is accessible from til directions and may
be reached from nlmot' nny direction on
paved streets. The plwis < advanced by the
supporters of this location Include , also , a
chain of lakes extending In a northeasterly
direction from Thirty-third and Pacific
streets to about Thirtieth and Davenport
streetB. a point less than one mile from the
postolllre. This takes In the valley In which
was formerly a crrek and would afford an
excellent boulevard for an entrance.
AMUSEMENTS.
Two good-sized audiences saw "The Olrl
I Left IJrhlnd Me" yesterday nt the
Crelghton , and by their evident enjoyment
and frequent applause demonstrated Un
abiding popularity of the military drama.
The piece Is familiar from former appear
ances , and IR admired for Its strong and
thrilling climaxes no less than for Its ac
curate picture of a phase of army life In
which commissioned olllcers and enlisted
men mingle on terms of the meat charming
freedom , and which permits a damsel called
"Wllber's Ann" to Jerk n chair from under
the commanding general with all the grace
which a souhretto can lend the action. The
present company , without being In any re
spect an strong as some of the others
which have been seen In the piece , gives
n generally agreeable performance. The In
dians employ the monotonous elocution and
the lofty diction Invented by the Ingenious
Cooper , which are known to characterize
the savage of today in his Intercourse with
the white man. It Is a little startling ,
however , to find the mannerisms of Mr.
Henry Irving repeated so faithfully In an
aboriginal type.
Mr. I'reston'a work as the good lieutenant
Is manly and sincere , and Mr. Miller as
the bad lieutenant makes much of the
strong situation at the close of the second
act. Miss Ktatlng also pleased In an In-
gcnuo role. The stockade scone has lest
none of Its power to stir the blood , and the
love-making antics of Private Jonea seem
to afford pleasure , although It Is difficult to
understand why a man who Is a gentle
men should behave like a booby , even under
the stress of the tender passion and In the
presence of his superior ofllcer.
"The Girl I heft llohlnd Me" may be seen
at the Crelghton for two more nights.
Sol Smith Uussell Is a perennial delight.
Ills visits are always events out of the or
dinary for several reasons : First , because
his talents are very much out of the or
dinary , and , second , because he draws audi
ences which may be classed In exactly the
same way.
There nro a great many people In this
part of America who regard It a part of
their religious duty to go fo see Mr. Uussell ,
referring to him with reverence touched with
familiarity. These add. themselves to the

A new comedy , reported Jo bo the com
edy success of the season , will be the bill
for the entire engagement. The play was
written by the evury clever playwright ,
Martha Morton , and Is called "A Dachclor's
Homance. " Mr. Iluuicll will be supported
by Arthur Forrest. George Alison , George
\V. Deuham , Addlson Pitt , Bcrtlm Creigh-
ton , Josephine Thompson , Beatrice Moreland ,
Fannlu Addison Pitt and others of equal
reputation. Mr. Uussell will present his new-
play at Hoyd's Tuesday- and Wednesday
nights and at a matUiec Wednesdays
It Is now' definitely settled that Jlay Ir-
wln's new comedy will havchits first produc
tion in Omaha- the Crelghton theater ,
The new piece , which Is called "Courted
Into Court , " Is the work of John J. Mc-
N'ally , author of "The Widow Jones , " ono
of the most successfully farce comedies yet
presented on the American stage. .Mr.
McNally has written a number of parts for
Miss Irwln , In all of which nho made hits.
It was natural , therefore , that he should
have been called upon to supply the vehicle
for her first starring tour. In "The Widow
Jones" Miss Irwln had a part after her own
heart and the hearts of her audience. In
"Courted Into Court , " which has been In
constant rehearsal tor several weeks past ,
.Miss Irwln is said to have decidedly the best
part that has yet been given her In her
stage career. The comedy lines and the
mirth-provoking situations are In Mr. Mc-
Nnlly's best manner. Those who have seen
"Tho Widow Jones" need not be told what
that manner Is. The new comedy Is for
Mies Irwin'a regular Now York season ,
which opens at the Uljou theater on Decem
ber 2S. Omaha play-goers will , therefore ,
have an opportunity to sit In judgment on
It a month before notlmmlk's sec it.
Miss Irwin's engagement at the Crelghton
will be for two nights only , Including Friday
and Saturday nights , with a matinee Satur
day. "The Widow Jones" will bo the bill
for the first two performances , the new play
being presented Saturday night.
"Off the Earth , " an extravaganza that de
lighted many of our theater goers on a
former occasion , comes to lloyd's for three
performances , commencing with -Sunday
matinee , December 0. Eddie Fey , as form
erly. Is the central figure and as usual has
i number of new songs , among which are
"Your Political Candidate" and "Say An
Itovolr. " spoken of as hits In their line. The
company Is said to bo very strong and espe
cially Is not lacking in that great essential
to ono of Its character , a chorus of pretty
girls with musical voices. A very pleasing
engagement is anticipated.
"Town Topics" Is the catchy title of the
now farce comedy which Is to be seen nt the
Crelghton for the first two nights of the
coming week , opening with a matinee next
Sunday. The piece. It Is said , is constructed
'or laughing purposes only and the promise
Is made that It will fulfill all rcqulremnta
n this direction. Novel specialties ,
loth vocal and terpslchorcaii , offered by

Sunday Is n day on which most people ex
pect to .rest , but Secretary Wakeflcld of the
Transmhslssippl anil Intornntlonnl K.\posl-
tlon company and his olllce force were de
prived of uny opportunity to show what they
could do In that line. U was not until 11
o'clock last night that they completed the
work of entering up the payments on stock
subscriptions ma le the dny before and
making the totals. It was necessary that
th work should bo completed at once , for
the election of directors takes place Tuca- ,
day and U'llcss this work Is all done It would
bo Impossible to tell who had a right to vole.
Some Idea of the amount of labor Involved
can bo formed from the fact that there me
fi,3ir subscribers to the stock of thu ex
position company and of this number -1,217
have paid the first assessment on the stock.
Some of these paid In earlier , but by far the
greater portion of them sent or brought thulr
money In during the last few days.
Saturday night .Mr. Wakcllcld stated that
he was confident fully two-thirds of the
stockholders bad paid up the assessment
and the figures show he was correct , the
number being a trlllo In excess of that.
Figured on the number of shares there Is
considerable more than two-thirds of the
stock paid on. In round numbers there Is a
total subscription of 37,000 shares and the
first payment has been made on 29,000 of
these. Only one of the very largo subscribers
has failed to pay and It Is thought likely
that a check for this has been sent througl
the mail and will turn up today.
BVEHYIIODY FKKLS KNCOUUAOKI ) .
Secretary \Vakefleld went home last night
very tired.'but feeling very much encouraged
over the prospects of the exposition and the
same may be said of nil the officers and men
who have hail anything to do with pushing
the project. One of the most Important
things Just now Is to secure a favorable re
port from the secretary of the treasury on
the certificate of the olllcers that the requi
site amount of stock had been subscribed to
meet the conditions of the act passed nt the
last session of congress. That act pledged
the government of the United States to make
an appropriation of $200.000 for a govern
ment exhibit when $250,000 of bona fide
stock subscriptions bad been secured. The
oniclals of the exposition company sent a
certillcate to the secretary some time ngo.
selling forth the fact that such subscription
hot ! been made , but this can now be supple
mented with the statement that more than
the amount spccllled by the government hail
been paid up as far as It In assessable this
year under the terms of the subscription.
If there had ever been uny doubt as to the
securing of a favorable report this prompt
and almost universal response to the call for
payment on the ttock should remove It.
The heavy payment on stock also demon
strates that the people of this city are In
dead earnest on the exposition question.
Talk Is cheap , but when n community puts
up Its money for any enterprise It Is In
earnest.
Tuesday occurs the election of the per
manent directors of the exposition company
who will have charge of the actual work of
creating the big how , and as soon as they
nro Inducted Into office actlvo preparation for
the fair Itself will be commenced and pushed
through with all possible dispatch. There
i.s no time to lo.se mid the promoters of thf
enterprise realize this.
MUCH WOUK TO DO.
In addition to completing the work of EC
curing further subscriptions , , the appropria
tlon of a suitable amount for the represent
ation of the state and the actual appropria
tion of money by the federal government
there Is a vast amount of preliminary work
to bo done before the actual work of pro *
paring the grounds and the buildings for
the great fair can bo commenced. The en
terprise has progressed sufficiently , however ,
that the directors can take this up and
have everything In readiness for active oper
atlons as soon as the weather will permit
in the spting.
Senator Allen and Congressman Mercer
are hopeful. In case a favorable report Is
secured from the secretary of the treasury
at an early date , of having the appropriation
for the exposition tacked onto the urgency
deficiency bill , which I.s the first appropria
tion measure to get through congress and It ,
usually enacted Into law before the Christ
mas holidays. In case this i done It will
enable the government to proceed at once
with itfl plans and will be of great service
In securing appropriations from other tatc
legislatures to have their states represented.

exactly the same trim mi no ; : ? , and by exactly the same concern
as our $ lo.50 ulster of last year and our $25.00 ulster ol a

the price of an ulster at ' 'The Nebraska" arc cloth * labor and
