( PICK THE PRETTIER GIRLS State Comm'siionors Selecting Samples of Western Maidenly Beauty , RESULT WILL SURPRISE SOME FOLKS I-xicrlincnl | licit 1'rotii- IHCM to IIIof ( ircnl lntfrc.il III Alnny A\'II > 'M N I'llliniilr .S The composite photograph of the two most beautiful women In each of the trannmU- Bisslppt states and territories , which is to form the model for the woman's head on cno side of the exposition souvenir medal , Is exciting considerable comment In many quarters The Minneapolis Times of rccsnt date discourses learnedly on the subject after thla fashion : "Tho managers of the Transmlsslsslpp ! Exposition have decided upon n most Inter esting experiment along the lines of phys iological anthropology. When the much dis cussed composite photograph was llrst de termined upon as being ; the best means o. ' obtaining a model for the exposition medal , nothing was thought of the scientific value of such a photograph , containing as It will the features ot the fairest women In all ths different states and territories , but ! > e- fcro the Idea had been thoroughly dlsousse.l It was suggested that two pictures bo made , ono from the twenty-four photographs rep resenting the west , and another from the twenty-lour culled among the beauties of the past. The question proposed for solution Is Just this : 'Will the two photographs dis play divergent types ; and If so will the student of anthropology be able to tell at n glance which Is the result of western pul chritude nnd which of eastern lovellner.1 . ? ' "It may be seen readily enough that the crow's feet around the eyes of the Chlctgo maidens could bo distinguished easily at a distance of some parasanpa , and that the liostoa nstygnntlsm would show well to the front ; but whether or not Ihcse character istics would continue through the entire se ries of pictured Is a very pretty problem. Would the ox eyes of the Arizona maidens shine diffpiently from the sheep's eyes cast upon the young photographer by the repre sentative of old Vlrglnlt. ; and how about the moonshine In the glistening orbs of Kentucky's beauteous maids ? " NOVEL .METHODS OF SELECTION. The selecting of these photographs Is pro ceeding In a promising manner in nearly all nf tin * wrulprn Rtni nml Mnnnupr t.lnrivpv under whostf direction the work was under taken , says that n full representation of western women will he obtained. Some of the states are proceeding frlowly , but all will be on hand In due time. Vice President Maxson of Nevada , who wca In town Saturday of last week , eald he had at ked the exposition ccmmlcaloncr In each county of the state to select eight women In his county and send their photo graphs to the vice president , who will then make the selection of the two handsome ? t and send them to Manager Llndscy. The commissioner of Washoe county , Nevada , has adopted the method of allowing all the women In the county to vote on the matter. Eich woman la allowed to vote for the eight vomen In the county whom she considers the best looking , but she is required to make her choice in writing and sign her name to the ballot In order to avoid "repeaters. " The eight receiving the highest vote- will be se lected and their photographs sent to the vice president. Vice President F. II. Pcavey ot Minnesota' has appointed a committee of judges to He- euro the pictures of Minnesota's handsomc.it young'women ' nnd make the selection. The headquirters of thofomnilttco'are In Minne apolis , Ik Hallowell being the secretary , The Minneapolis papers report that the commit tee Is receiving a large number of photo graphs from the most prominent people In Minnesota society and the beast la made that the photographs of the daughters of th" North Star state will be the handsomest of thn entire collection. The most novel plan for making selections which has developed up to th ! < 3 time come : ) from New Mexico. The vlcp president for Hint territory , ex-Governor Prince , decided that the subject of one of the photographs ohould bo a woman of Mexican origin and the other nn Anglo-American. The wife of lion. Sol Luna , a prominent citizen of Hie territory , was selected . ? the most beautiful of the first cliss and it waa decided that tin choice of the second woman should bo left to a vote of the people of the territory , each vote to cost 25 cents. By this means it Is hoped to raise n fund to Increase the smil ! appropriation made by the legislature far an exhibit. Ol'IVIOXS OK AX KSTKItKniTOIt. ! . Tilvci Tlirni to tinU'orld In ( III- Troy TIllll-M. The Troy ( N. Y. ) Times of recent date ccntained a column article relating to the Tr.insmisBissippl and International Exposi tion , written by Editor Francis , who is well known In Omaha. He visited this city re cently ani inado u personal Inspection of the exposition grounds aid : offices , pothering the Information which he embodied In 'the ' article In question , which is herewith given in full : It has been conclusively demonstrated that the American people of the present day delight In big expositions. After the World's Tali at Chicago closed Its gates its \ -s crgued that the people cculd alford to wall for many years before undertaking an other show of similar character. lint they did not wr.jt. In&teaJ , they proceeded to organize a series of expositions , which , while much smaller In scope , nevertheless wore of the same general character . ; nd Included Ell the features which made the Chicago fair so popular and so successful. First ( Mine the exposition at Atlanta , which , while very rroMlablo to the people of Georgia and of the south , was only n partial auceesa. This was followed last year toy the Tennessee ) Centennial Exposition at Nashville , which was a complete success , both financially and from tbe > .rtlstlc point of view. But th a jpc.r both the Atlanta nnd the Nashville ex- roEltiuim are to bo eclipsed. The great west has taken up the contract and what the r.rit west makes up Its mind to do It gen erally accomplishes. June 1 the gates cf the Transmlsslsslppl and International Ex position at Omaha will bo opened to the public and If visitors do not 11 ml therein a display greate.r and more attractive than any thing of the kind presented since. 1S93 there will bo good reason for surprise. The idea of holding this big show at Omahj. originated in 1S05 at the session of the Traiis- misstaslppl congress , when resolutions en dorsing the project and selecting Omaha as the exposition lto were nd'i'ted. Since that time much has been accomplished by a dis play of characteristic western enterprise. The work of organization alone was stupr'.idou.i In Us proportions , for the exposition , aa the iMino choEcn indicates , Is not to 1)9 a merely k al affair , but will he International In lu scope. Invitations to participate were i.iromptly icnt to foreign nations and mon of the important commercial countries of both continents are -preparing to make goad ute of the opportunity offered for the exhibition of proa I'd of their industrial orogrrss. The management of the exposition Is l'i the hands of a corporation , ( lie stockholders of which number almo.it 8.000. The capital stock Is $1.000.000. more than half of which has been 8iibsrlbcd , with further subscriptions con stantly coming In. In addition to the ntcck subscriptions the corporation will ftavo at ita dU'.iccdl revenues from the sale of * pace and concesal-.ua aggregating not lesa than ? 1,000 , X)0 ) , together with gate receipts estimated , ou the basis of an attendance of 3,000,000 , at not lew than $1,100,000. These figure * , which ere conservative , cparently Insure tljo financial success of the undertaking , Not cnly Is Omaha advantageously located for attracting visitors to such an exposition , but. it aUo affords an unrivaled alto fo.t tbe exposition grounds. Theno are situated in the northern part of the city and cover an area of 200 acres. The natural edvan- tugcu are many , and the architects and land- acapo engineers have Improved their oppor tunities to thu utmost. The main buildings of the exposition arc grouped along a great ugoon 150 feet wide and half a mile In length , thus concentrating the architectural effect. These iiulldiugs include the Audi- torlum , Manufactures , Liberal Arts , Fine Aits , t'nltcd Stares Government , Agricul ture , Mines and' 'Mining and Machinery and Electricity buildings. The bulldligs < are each from 300-to 400 feet In length t-.id from 125 to 150 feet In width , and the archi tecture Is ilcchillr ) ornate and even elabor ate. The Government building , when com pleted , will bo u6o"feet long and almost 200 feet from the ground to the top of Its gilded dome. Already congress has appropriated $200.000 for thd 'Oulldlng nnd exhibit , nnd bills ore now pending for an additional ap propriation ot $1667000. In addition to these main buildings ; -there will bo two Kreat aicbta of lmtytsvc | slro and appearance , ono , to bo known ns the Arch of States , being located over thp main entrance , nnd the other , tho''AUnrinlstrntlon ' arch , on the north sldo ot the main court. There will alxo bo a number of state buildings , appro prlatlons having been made by various west crn legislatures. The Chicago World's fair taught the worl a valuable lesson concerning the erection o buildings for temporary use thnt may b handsome and attractive , without being ex cccdlngly expensive. By the use of tin convenient composition known to thp bullde 03 "staff" a wooden building may take o the appearance of a massive edifice con structed of tnarblo. The Omaha exposltlo buildings will bo of wood , finished In staff with the tint of old marble. At promtnim uolnts they will be colored In green and gold giving a pleasing effect. They will be ndornei with classic sculpture , Intricate carving am in omo Instances with statuary of hcrnl size. The grounds will bo beautified wit flno lawns and flower beds , while the lagoo will receive most artistic treatment. A either end will be boat landings , whllo 1 the center , where the lagoon Is spanned b an ornamental bridgeIs a llttlo Island whlc ! will add much to the beauty ot the eccnc lu the more remote portions of the ground the dairy , apiary and poultry buildings , th handfiomo horticultural hall and the bit , power plant and Transportation building. Xt goes without saying that Omaha wll have a midway plalsance. This Is a featur that all oxpcBltlons now borrow from th Chicago fair , oven though they may borrow nothing else. It is promised that the Omaha midway will bo eapeclnlly flno and Its popu larlty Is assured. The midway will also have I Us Moorish , Afro-Amerlctin , New Mexlcai Indian ami other foreign villages. Its Cripple Creek cam ] ) , ita "devil's den , " with a Dante' "Inferno" continuous performance going 01 Inside ; Its baby Incubator , wild west show Bcenlc rallwajH , shoot-the-chiitcs , battle cycloramas. etc. Thnt Americans In general and the people of the traiumlsslsslppl section In parllcula lully appreciate the advantages to bo gallic , through the medium ot this exposition Is shown by the fact that the demand for space and concessions has been unprecedented , niu In seine departments this demand has ex ceeded the spice that can bo allotted. Quite naturally , a good share of the exhibits wil bo from the ifar west , the Intention being to show the marvelous progress made by thai Ecetlon. In this respect the exposition should be of great advantage to the wcvtorn people. It will show them us they are nn enterpris ing , progressive r-coplc , undaunted lu the ftt'-o of groit undettakings and conscious ol their ability to.succeed. To all ot the mil lions of visitors who will pass through ths turnstiles between Juno 1 nnd November 1 , when the exposition will close , the fact will bo made apparent that the people of the transmlssisslppi states are alert , energetic , proud of their achievements and anxious to accomplish still'greater ' and better things. itirvn.Ks viiii 'lyu : COMIXP SKASOX.

"People nlio a&aert fbat the bicycle craze Is on the decline , ate talk'og through their hats , " said Fred1 'MCycr ' , the western agent for a large ClMMgo lilcycle supply house , ca ho smoked hi .a'ftpr-supper cigar in the lobby of a IccaVhostelry last night. "Tho sale i of our houstj this spring have beaten the record , wh51 if-travellng men for-other concerns of a similar- character report like results. ThU iii'iiot tho'case ' , however , with the bicycle manufacturers and jobbers. They report the prospects for sales of wheels thh season as verj- poor In comparison to last year , although the paradox still remain. ] that there will be more wheels ridden in 1808 than 'ever before. The explanation is very simple. Take our own hoiu'o ' for instance , which sells nothing but supplies and fittings for wheels , such as hubs , rims , tires , cements , crank haogeM. enamels. 1 , 'johl not over a week agoto a firm in M'nneapolU. goods amounting to $1.400. At Wlrora I sold another of over $1,000. and other cltlel in the same territory in about the same proportion. The bicycle retail dealers on the other hand told mo that the bottom had dropped out of their market for wheels cud that they were hardly selling enough to pay expenses. They said , however , that their repair ohop.3 wcro ! n full blast and that they could not secure the supplies for the vari ous classes of wheels fast enough to meet the demand. The 'explanation of the situa tion is simple. It is duo to the Introduc tion of the cbJinlctH bicycle at an exorbitant rrlce. " "You ese , " said Mr. Meyersarmlag to his subject , "people are a little- wary ct the nt-w tangled oteed. Then , again , they object to dlggYiK up SISS for a wheel , and Iff the interim they decide to use their oIJ mount. That explains why every wheel crank in the country is polishing up the old standby and why the repair shops are so busy. Some iD-ciufacturcw claim they can not put the new bevel gear wheel on tha market for less than $125. They oay thit the actual cost of niEoufacture is about $7n , that thnv nrn otillspd to nnv S In rru.ilHitT for pate.'ts and that when a pro.'lt of ? 23 ' .t added that they are not making as much cut of the now machine as they were out of the old. He this as it may , the public refuses to accept thla figure 0.3 final and L- still looking for a lower ouo. The time when a wheel sold for $125 has long gene by , ami wheci the manufacturer ) begin to realize this and set about cheapening their prccc.s.3 of building or shaving their profita , the sooner they wll ! make ready uialej anJ not before. Chainlets wheels were made over six years ago , yet this U the llrst .season they have been placed on the markei by the larger concerns. There Us much t > Im rove In them -yet , rnd U Is still a que.j. t'on ' whether the bevel gear will over be a comp'eto ' succes3.It ts contended by many experts that the direct acting cog gear Is the beat , nnd that the bevel gear Is me.-ely being pushed to the front by muiu- racttirrrs who own the patents on It.

Northern California Is taking n derided In terest in the exposition and the Indications are that the northern counties nsid the clt > o * San Francisco will be on hand with n fine exhibit. An enthusiastic meeting of business men was held nt the San Francisco Hoard o ] Trade building last Wednesday and the ques tion of whether the northern counties should secure space for an exhibit was discussed at considerable length by the mem bers of the eight trade and 'commercial organizations represented. A. 0. McAusland , special commissioner for the exposition , addressed the meetkig and spoke of the benefit which the state would derive from nn exhibition of Its products and Industries. Ho stated that hos Angeles and the southern counties had spcured 2,000 feet ot space. Ho wanted to know what space San Francisco and the Northern counties would desire. An offer of 1,000 'fcot ' of space had been made by the directors for a mining exhibit. He said that space in the Horticultural building would have to bo paid for. Chairman Watklns spoke In favor of an exhibit. Ho said : "Wo should show the people of the Mississippi valley what wo can. produce. It would Induce people to come here. " Ho did not think it necessary to have a mining exhibit , as people who have good mines do not care to sell them and would not care much about bringing out purchasers. Mayor Phelcin favored an exhibit. Ho sug gested that a better showing could be made by co-operating with Los Angelo. ? and the southern counties. The two exhibits could bo kept together nnd made a general state exhibit. He thought that the upervlsois would contribute $3,000 toward the exhibit. They could pledge the credit of the city for this amount and provide the mcmey in the next tax levy. The remainder of the money could be raided by private suhserip- tlrn. He thought that If $3,000 more was raised a creditable showing could bo made. One-half might be wised in San Francisco and the other half In the other counties. On motion ot the mayor the chairman was authorized to appoint a committee of threeto center with the State Heard of Trade to ascertain whether a creditable ex hibit could be made In 2,000 feet of space , and what sum would be required to make such display. The committee was requested to ascertain what freight rated could be secure 1 , and also to communicate with the LM Angeles Chamber of Commerce to learn whether the southern counties would co operate with the rest of the state In making a gecicral exhibit ; also , to petition the super visors for an appropriation for an exhibit. Chairman Watkliw stated that ho would irnoutico the named ot this committee today. A committee on promotion , consisting of Mayor Phelan , John T. Bell and J. W. Kerr , was appo'ntcd. The meeting adjourned until icxt Wednesday. OII > ( VillCI.VAI. "PUCK'S HAD HOY. " \iillior of tin' Story anil Cri'iitor of tin- Part .Mit In Oniiilui.

TWO B1LS NOW BEFORE THE SENATE One li > - Allen Provide * for Hie l > tnt > - ll-iliineul of nn Inillnii School TlitirMnii lint n DlfTer- ent One. WASHINGTON. Feb. 0. ( Special. ) In ths Fifty-fourth congress Senator Thurstou In troduced n bill providing for the transfer ot Fort Onmho Military reservation to the state of Nebraska , the purpose of the trans fer beltiK that the reservation should be used by the state of Nebraska as n school ot Instruction for the National Guard of that stato. The bill was rolntrodttced In the Fifty-fifth congress nml has HOW been reported buck favorably by Senator Warren from the committee on military affairs , but virtually a new bill Is presented , although Its verbiage does not differ materially from that of Senator Thurston's bill. It provides that the reservation shall bo leased to the state of Nebraska lor a nominal rental , making It incumbent upon the adjutant gen eral ot the state to report annually to the secretary of war In detail the use to which said reservation Is being put. The bill gives the right to the state to erect a military Eohool and provided for two military In spectors. It further provides that the res ervation shall be maintained without expense - penso to the United States and the secretary of war may nt any time , hi the Interest of the United States , take possession of the reservation for the use of the government , together with all the buildings , appurte nances and Improvements thereon. H Is provided further that the state ot Ne braska Is to keep nil of the permanent buildings and Improvements In. good coi'dl- tlon and repair and that the grounds and buildings are to bo Inspected at least once r. year by an ofilecr of the army , who shal ! report his findings to the secretary of war. This bill Is now on the calendar and will probably be taken up and passed within a fortnight. It differs very materially from Semtor Allen's bill , which provides for the establishment of nn Indian school on the reservation. As yet the senior senator from Nebraska has not bcpn able to secure n fa vorable rpport on his bill and unless ho does shortly Senator Thurston will put the bill from the committee on military affair * on its iwssage. Hodcrlck Dhtt Sutherland , who represents Ihe Fifth Nebraska district In congress , de livered Ills maiden spcecli lu the house of representatives on Tuesday In reply to cer tain statements made by Mr. Mercer of the Second district , wherein the latter had sold ou the floor of the house tint the re publican party had decreased the populist majority In Nebraska in the elections nf 807 12,000. Mr. Sutherland read statements 'rom ' J. H. Edmisten and J. V. Wolfe , two veil known names to conjure with , to prove .hat Mr. Mercer's knowledge of the sltua.- lon was decidcly meager. Mr. Sutherland vus thoroughly at ease and whllo hlM speseh vas not brilliant from an oratorical sland- lolnt , he made a very fair impression , al- liough be was considerably rattled at on" or two of the questions put to him by M" . Uoiio and Mr. Mercer. Llttlo gems Ilk ? 'having the ocean , waters cease to roll and ho moon to stand still , but the people of he state of Nebraska will continue to stand I for William J. Bryan and bimetallism" did not seem to affect. Mr. Sutherland very ! seriously , and even though his democratic I and populist friends laughed good nature.lly at the sally the young statesman from thn Fifth district sat-down perfectly satisfied that ho had made a palpable hit. The subject of the abandonment of Fort Meade , S. I ) . , is not only occupying the at tention of the War department , but It Is receiving considerable consideration at the hanJs of the congressional delegation from tiiat state. Senator Pettlgrow recently had printed the correspondence between the commandant. Colonel C. H. Carleton of the Eighth cavalry , stationed at Fort Meade. and CJeneral Copplnger , commanding ( ho Depart ment of the Plattc. with reference Incident ally to the views of Cicneral Miles , General George II. Weeks and the secretary of war. Some reasons are given In this publication why Fort Meade should bo made a permanent post. The report says It was selected by General Phil Sheridan as ono of the best stragetlc military posts in the entlro north west territory. Ono of the reasons iisslgneJ for its permanent character Is that as the basis of the military operations. It occupies the best point In the Dokotas , Nebraska , Wyoming and Montana and in cuse of Indian hostilities , it IB asserted that troops from Fort Meade can reach any point of trouble in any of the five states named quite as soon as troops from nearcrby gvrrlsons. In concluding the rcpoj-t says : "It may bo added that , according to well known Indian legends , the red man of the northwest and especially the Sioux tribes , have always regarded and still regard , the Black Hills with marked supernatural awe , 'believing ' that In some portions of them U the abiding place of the Great Spirit. The wonderful curative powers of the Hot Springs in these hills anil the forests , still teeming with deer anl other gamp , notwith standing the event of the hated white man ; tlinun tit llit c t til t\1n I * t ill ti i > i 11 ill n . . * ir n f of the truth of their belief , that there dwells their Deity. It was only after a most des perate struggle that they were compelled to relinquish this ground as a part of their rt'rvrvatlon and they still long to regain It. Would it. then , ho pafn to remove the pro- toctlon that Fort Mcado affords 'to the people ple of these hills ? Cort.iinly It Is nut natural to suppose that at HIP first out break of trouble they would attempt to re gain what they still regard ns their sacred heritage , perpetrating , If necessary , upon the present Inhabitants a secon.1 Custer massacre.
