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

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

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.

"People nlio a&aert fbat the bicycle craze

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 ,

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 ,

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.

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 ;

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. "
