The Iowa papers are giving strong support
to the movement of the Iowa Exposition

urged by the opponents of another appropria

tory. There were flfty-sovm seated about
the long tables. The Texas p.rt.y.ra retire
scnted by nearly cvcr > Omaha man who had
accompanied the delegation
After the clgara were lighted the assembly
was rapped to order by President E. A.
Dcceon of the exchange , who made a ohort
talk In his usual felicitous manner , calling
attention In passing to the fact that the trip
which had been co successful la arousing
Interest In the TranamlsU ulppl Exposition
had boon conceived and runuged by a coni-
mltteo of the Heal Estate exchange and he
characterize * the trip ns the most successful
junket which had been undertaken In the
Interest of the Exposltloi. and had bc n mad
at the least expense to the Expedition.
Ex-Governor Saundera was on the program
to rcspoid to the Benttmott , "Texas and
Nebraska. " The venerable governor was
confined to his room bj a severe cold anil
was unable to bo present. In announcing
this fact President Hcnson spoke us follows.
"I disparage no member of thla exchange ,

The president rcrid a letter of reg'ct fiom
Governor Sounders and called on 11. til.
Harder to speak to the sentiment assigned to
tna govenor. Mr. Harder's response met
with great favor. He made a number of
happy rc-fei cnces to amusing Incidents of the
trip , concluding with a summing up of the
advantages of Texas ami Nebraska , drawing
tlio conclusion that while the former was an
eutoiprising and progressive commonwealth
of vast extent ho founa more to admire In
Nebraska.
President iBcnson then called on the Ex
change quartet , and In 'response Messrs Cor-
'belt , Shrlver , Wright , Kaufman and Mc-
Cugue led off with one of the songs with
which the Nebraska delegates had stirred up
the people of Texan The ture was "A Hot

A. P. Tukey spoke about the hospitality of
Texas cities. In opening lie complimented
Messrs Green and Shrlver for the complete

pltillty of which the party were recipients
Ho spoke briefly of the manner In which the

In which the people of Sahlne Pass had en
tertained the delegation.
John W. Ilobblns spoke about the cordial
reception at Kansas City. Ho paid a neat

expressions of Interest In the exposition
voiced by prominent citizens
Another song was sung iby the members of

and Instead of having fld figures , be pro
poses to have movable novelties upon the
.vugons as thuy pass along the iitreets. Mr.
Sues baa made a model which has been ex
amined by eoveral of the members of the
Hoard of Governors and has been pronounced
quite a thing.
The model that Mr. Sues has on exhibition
In hla offlco carries two sets of scenes. One
Is a forest scene with animals moving back
and forth. The second set shows a band of
pioneers passing over a bioad pralrlo and
finally stopping upon the banks of a great
river. These scones arc vvoilccd by a man
who operates a lever on the rear of the plat
form. By pressing on this lever , a rachot Is
thrown against the wheel of the wagon , thus
throwing a connection to the wires that con
trol the action of the figures upon the r at-
tonn. AB the wheels revolve , the figures are
hi ought out from tbo compartments much
llko the wings of the stage of a theater , andre
ro marched to the center of the platform ,
after which they turn and move back. Again
the lover is pressed and another set of fig
ures moves out and as the wagon passes
along , they advance and retreat.
Sir. Sues Eiya that any number of changes
can bo produced on the oamo float and as
many times as may bo desired. Ho contends
that the cost of manufacture of these- floats
would bo much less than those which have
heretofore appeared In the Ak-Sar-Uen pa
