Vlco President S. J. T. Johnson attended a meeting at Houston last week for the purpose of considering exposition matters. I ) . A.

Secretary Tom ItlcharJson of the Dullness league suggested that Houston's exhibit should emphasize the city's facilities as n greit railroad center , capable of handling all the products of the transml.'slsslppl country.

It wan the general opinion that at least J2.JJOO would be required for an exhibit and Vlco President Johnson 'Urged that Hie money raised by the various communities should bo turned Into one fund to bo used In making a state exhibit. In which the com- munltlea contributing should bo given the' largest representation , , but he Insisted-that unless this \\as done there would not bo a state exhibit but a sectional exhibit. Vice President Johnson announced that ho would visit Omaha In the near future to arrange for space , etc. , and said at least C.OOO feet would bo required. A letter from Vice 1'rus- Idenl Johnson received by the Department of Publicity and Promotion announces that the thirty-one commissioners of Texas have nil been chosen and will meet at Dallas Feb ruary 1 , to organize for1 business nnd devise ways nnd means for raising the funds neces sary for an exhibit. Ilo requested that he bo furnished with printed matter for the In- formatlcu of the members cud for distribu tion. Information comes from New York that Governor Illaek Is selecting the men for the New York Exposition -commission and will inalco public announcement of the appoint ments within n few days. The governor ha.i announced his Intention of selecting men of high standing In the several communities of the state who will take energetic action In Hie matter and sco that the state IB prcperly represented. Commissioner Pcabody of Florida writes to the Department of Publicity and Promotion that the recent freeze of the orange crop has given the enthusiasm of the people lei the ejiwsltlon project a severe frost and ho says the stricken districts will probably not make an exhibit. The alhw counties , he Bays , will make good exhibits and the state will -creditably represented , but the Idea of a stale building will probably bo aban doned. POINTERS ON PROGRESS. Alfred Sorensen writes from Portland. Ore. , where he Is manager of the Evening Telegram , that a number of business and manufacturing intcresto desire to exhibit at the exposition. Ono of the features of the exhibit which will bo made by the counties In the Arkan sas valley of Colorado will bo a relief map 10x10 feet , showing the rivers , streams and Irrigntlcti ditches of running water.

This cornucopia will appear on all the printed matter ssnt out by the Arkansas Valley association. E. n. T. Spencer , secretary of the faculty of the University of Denver , has applied to the Colorado Exposition commission for spaeo for arc exhibit in the Denver display. Thn Knr.ftis City Star endorses the efforts of the Mlreourl exposition to raise n fund of J.pjO,000 for fitato participation. It nays the amount Is very low and Is cheap , considering the amount of advertising the state will re ceive , and remarks that It should be all ar ranged for within two weeks. Uraliam coumty , Kansas , l.s preparing to ninko a comity exhibit lu a sod bouflo built of nol cut In that county. D. C. Kay ex- county clerk of Graham county , Is at the licuil of this enterprise.

These farmers have an organization known as the Southwestern Nebraska Farmers' convention , which -will uneet nt McCook February 2 and 3. Klghl counties are represented In this association and the county commissioners of all of these counties will attend this meet ing. Ono of the principal matters which will be discussed will be the Idea of having the Hoard of County Commissioners In each of thc o counties appropriate a sufficient amount to enable this nectlon ot the stito to bo represented at the exposition In a manner which shall show to the world the magnificent resources of the western part of the state. The report cornea from that section that the prospect ot success In this movement is very flattering. MIIHASICY : COMMISSION MKRTI\U.

The commissioner sayu the people In his state are taking much moro Interest In the Idea of making an exhibit at Omaha than' they did nt Nashville or Chicago , and will make a line exhibit. Ho was most enthusiastic regarding the resources of that section , nnd described In glowing language the favorable conditions which ho says exist there. Among other things he says : "Now Mexico today offers to the Intelligent nnd enterprising capitalist nnd prospector a sure , speedy nnd reliable return for Investment or labor. The great mineral zone or belt Is 100 miles wide and nearly -100 miles long , extending from the Colorndo line to the Republic of Mexico. This vnst scope of country abounds In minerals , building stones , fire ciay , marble , coal , precious stones and gems , and the richest soil and grazing lands. N'o country offers HO many natural advantages as this vast territory. " Mr. Leeson Is somewhat of an enthusiast Ui the collection of specimens of minerals and has a private collection which weighs twenty-four tons.

Miss Elllo Wilton and Mlsa Georgia Uusby carries old play-goers back to the period when actors acted , and conveys to the minds of younger theater-goers who have seen the ipcrformanco of "A Coat ot Many Colons" 'the ' lesson that It contained of sbagowork conscientiously and completely performed. The work of Mr. Kelcey , Miss Shannon and their company represents to a degree the higher [ significance of the dra matic art. These players deserve a warm welcome and generous sui > > port , for the at- maiphoro they -bring Is wholesome nnd ex hilarating , and the message they convey hns n mont agreeable and mirthful sound. The engagement closes with two performance.- ! today. i Ono of the most quaintly costumed plays that wo have set-n Is "Pudd'nhead Wilson , " which returns to Hoyd's theater Thursday night for a half week's engagement. Thn play In Itself Is a classic. The story , which Is founded upon the theory that there are no two "thumb marks" In the world alike , dates back to the early part of the present century and brings to view -the old-fashioned hoop skirts , stovepipe hats , cutaway coats , tight trousers , ruflled shirts nnd other fashIons - Ions that appear strange enough to people whoso memories do not go back to that period. To make sure that there should bo nothing of a modern nature connected with tlm production to mar the consistency of this beautiful picture , Mr. Mayo carries all of hfs own effects , even to so small a thing as a newspaper which was published In St. Louis In 1S3U.

Dili ITS .NOT CAUGHT. iiK' I.liMitvnaiii MIIIIIIKCM in Cover Ills Trull. At Army headquarters nothing has been heard from Lieutenant Drlpps , who de serted his post at Camp Pilot Huttes. Jii Is now believed that ho has left and does not expect to return unless he Is captured and brought back as a deserter from the army. Army officers -who have won their pro motion from the ranks are feeling disgusted over the course pursued by Lieutenant Urlpps. They say that It will liave much to do with preventing promotion from the ranks , and will at the same time make the army ofllcors much more desirous of promoting meting West I'olnt graduates. Lieutenant Drlpps enlisted as a private and worked his way up. Prior to his desertion , It Is said at headquarters , ho was considered a first- class man and a good officer. l.lciitriinnt ' t'liii-f . I'erry Surgeon.

AirJ i/smess. ll'c are the ouTy store in Omaha that isn't ha ring a Jlark Doicn sale. We don't bclicre in Jfark Doicn sales. We think it is treating the public right to charge one price for an article one month and another price the nc.vt. We don't see hoic if can be done without somebody getting the worst of the deal. We know of a man who paid Eighteen dollars for an or.crcoat fast Oc tober. Jlis brother bought the same kind of a coat at the same store for nine dollars last week' . Why ? Why didn't the storekeeper refund the first brother nine dollars lars ? Why didn't he gire him two coats for his money instead of one ? The mercltant will probably say it was the end of the season. JFe had too many coats on hand. Jfe w-untcd to close them out. Very good. Why didn't he commence closing them out last October ? Whydidn't he think of it t'n Xorcmbcr ? December was a good month to close things out. Where ivas the great fore sight , the great Judgment , the great tinder-selling about which you heard so much last Fall ? If these coats were worth eighteen dollars in October , why weren't they worth if now ? If they were cheap enough in the first place , ichy are there so many "to. close out" today ? Jcoplcarc all the time looking for things cheap. We may be poor merchants. Or a little old fashioned. Or away behind the times. We hare studied readin' , 'ritin and 'rithmctic , but U'c hare not studied how to under charge without orcr-charging , or hotv to murJt things dowit afterwards without marking them up before.
