"Ths management of the Transmlsslsslpp
Exposition has displayed more common sense
In the arrangement of the ground at Iti
dlaposal and more Intelligence In the < lls
position of the available facilities than hai
been the case with any foricer exposition
The result Is , that more has been occonv
pllshcd for the money expended and a bcttci
effect produced upon visitors than has beet
possible lth other expositions. "
This Is what Dr. David T. Day , one of the
editors cf the United States Geologlca
survey , Bald to Major T. S. Clarkson , a *
slftant to the president , In whose company
he bad just visited the several tracts con
stltutlng the exposition grounds. Dr. Da ]
Jiiis b cn conncctcl In an official capacity
with every exposition of recent years Ii
which the government has been Interested
Ho had arrived In * Omaha but a few boun
before , and his visit to the grounds was hi :
first errand. He was , In Omaha about foui
months ago on business In connection will
the government exhibits and his last vis !
was made with a picture In his mind's eye o
the grounds as they appeared In tbo earl ;
Htagcs.
"I do not mean to disparage the manage
mtnt of any other exposition , " continued lr
Day , "but the people at the head of this ex
position have simply profited by the ex
porlcnco of their predecessors. The resul
Is that they have produced the most mag
nlflcent result anl have a setting whlcl
1ms never been excelled. I realized whci
I was hero before that the possibilities wen
very great and I have been somewhat curlou
to learn Juot how things were being workoi
out , but I am delighted with the broad am
liberal plan with which the whole matte
has bcm treated and I predict that this wll
bo one of the granJait and most complet
expositions ever held In this country. Th
opportunities were magnificent and they bav
been taken advantage of to the fullest ex
Unit.
Unit.GOVERNMENT
GOVERNMENT WILb BE ON TIME.
"I have been looking at the Govornmen
building , " continued Dr. Day , "and am glai
to see the uay It Is progressing. The gov
cvnmcnt hns never been late at any cxposl
tleci and will not be In this case. It Is af
to say that every government exhibit will b
In place and the doors ready to open th
morning of May 31. Much of the matorla
to bo sent hero la boxed , now and ready fo
shipping and It will be sent foruarJ just a
boon 03 the space Is ready for It.
"Tho exhibits to bo made by the seven
departments will be much more cxtcnslv
than the exhibit made at either Nashvill
or Atlanta. All of the material at Nashvill
was sent back to Washington , and the m3
tcrlal to bo sent to Omaha will be an entire !
new exhibit. Of course , there may be som
things aent hero that were at Nashville , an
the name cases will probably bo used In
great many Inatances , but the exhibit wl
bo fresh and In the best of shape. Tber
will not bo as much material as was e >
lilblted at Chicago , principally because thcr
will not be as much space , but It dcvclope
that much of the material ( shown at Chlcag
waa simply 'dead timber' and this will t
eliminated , with the result tint the chara (
tcr of the cxlilblt will bo even better tha
that at the World's fair. "
Dr. Day to In Omaha In response to
telegram from Manager Bruce of the E :
lilblts department , 'who wlthed to consu
With him regarding the position of corr
mlssloner of the mining exhibit. This Is
position which has never been fllled and
has been tendered to Dr. Day. The docU
la an expert In mining , his work with tl
geological survey being of a nature thj
brings all matters In the department wet
connected with mining under his dlrccttoi
Ho was In charge of thb mineral exhibit i
the Nashville and Atlanta expositions ar
has hod wide experience In such matter
In event that he accepts the position offcrc
him by Manager 'Bruce , ho will act In a
official capacity ns Q go\crnmcnt ofdcer'ar
also LS an ofllcer of the exposition.
SOME OK HIS IDEAS.
When In Omaha last fall Dr. Day offered
number of suggestions regarding the gei
eral rules which should govern a mining c :
lilbtt , and If ho becomes an ofllcer of the e ;
position ho will probably earry out the pla
then suggested. At that time ho declare
that the moat effective way of making
'
mining exhibit that would bo' Instructive , i
well as pleasing , would be to show the vat
OUB stages of mining operations , worklr
out the details of each kind of mining , shov
Ing the different conditions In which eac
metal Is found , the processes of treating tl
ores , and , In fact , making the exhibit a pe
feet school of Instruction which shall she
everything there Is to bo known rcgardli
this great Industry.
The time which wll ! Intervene before tl
gates will open will bo very short In whlc
to carry out such a plan and make a con
ploto exhibit , but In speaking of this ma
ter , Dr. Day said a great deal could bo dot
In three months with energetic work.

The program furnished by the Departmcn
of Household Economics celled out thi
Woman's club In such numbers yostcrda :
that It was necessary 'to add to the scat
Ing capacity of the auditorium by the usi
of the parlors. Mrs. Mary M. Pugh , leade
of the department , presided , and Introduce !
Mrs. Cox , who read a piper on "Evolutloi
of the Home. " Mra. Cox traced the prog
rcss of human habitations from , the MVO o
primitive man , through the rude tent o
the hunting ground , afterward multlpllci
Into the primitive village , to the many
roomed dwelling of modern times , and fln
Ished her paper with a word of apprcclatloi
of the woman , who , without pictures am
china , and oven the common conveniences o
life , could m.ike a comfortable spot far he
family and breathe Into It the spirit o
home.
The second paper waa presented by Mre
Mtnnlo Campbell , leader of the Departmen
of Household Economies In the Woman'
club of Malvern , la. It was concerned wit ;
club relationships and contained a stron
plea for co-operation between the city an' '
village clubs. Mrs. Campbell spake of th
difficulties In theWvay of study where pub
He libraries are out of reach , and she aakei
that not only good papers but brilllan
speakers bo "passed along. "
A paper on "What Wo Owe Our Expos !
tlon Guests" was read by Mrs. Owens. Sh
anticipated the pleasures of next summe
and gave some practical advice as to a prope
state of mind , body and estate , under th
responsibilities which will fall upon th
housekeepers of Omaha during the hot sea
con.
con.Mrs.
Mrs. H. Jussen-Donnelly added a recltatlo
to the program and responded to an en
core In a humorous selection entitled "Cake
and Poetry. " She was accompanied at th
piano by Miss Frances Iloeder , who als
fang an effective little lullaby In conncc
tlon with the first selection.
The musical numbers embraced a wide vn
rlety. The High School Mandolin club ar.
peared before the club for the first tlnu
as did alsD Mr. Blckncll , who performc
upon the ouphomlum. Miss Hclene Wyma
sang a highly embellished waltz song b
Fauro most delightfully and Master Clarenc
Umsted was heard In Nevlns' "Little Do
Blue" with special Interest. The prograi
closed on time , but It was by the sacrlflc
of a paper on architecture , which was t
have been read by Mrs. I'ugh.
The business of the afternoon was Irr
portant. Including , es It did. the reports <
the committees from which the club had es
pected thorough investigation and carefi
recommendations. It was not dlsappolntei
Mra. Belden reported for the city Improvt
mcint committee. She said that the pr
mary object of tha committee was to bel
to make Omaha a clean , healtfjy , beautlfi
city. To that end the first work was t
arouse a widespread Interest and thoug
they hoped to count on workers of all age
eventually , they felt that the matter shoul
first be brought before ) the children In th
schools. As the work la In the direction c
ICwt which has previously been done by fti
principles of the schools they feel that the
can count en the tiolp of the trachora an
they asked for the appointment of a lore
committee , Including at least one woman 1
caon school district , to co-opcrato wit
teachers to that district. The points to b
emphasized with the Children ore tfoat
clean city la a beautiful one ; that anythln
that mars one spot injures the whole ; the
chalk marks on walls and fences ace ut
sightly ; that street signs are a necessity t
strangers ; that papers blowing about are
nuiranco and that decaying fruit peelings an
litter laying about Is unhealthy. Mrs. Bel
den urged that this is < \ good time to roue
Interest in the appearance of the city , Jue
before visitors como to it and she stated th :
officials seemed to welcome co-operation 1
this regard.
The committee which was appointed tw
weeks ago to formulate a practical plan b
which the club could co-operate with th
expedition reported through Its chalrmai
Mra. Damon. The question was one whlc
had been debated considerably in the clul
having appeared In eomo form in no lei
thrci four consecutive meetings and th
committee , which consisted of Mrs. Damoi
Mra. Dumont , Mrs. Tucker , Mra. Ballfet an
Mrs. Draper Smith , had endeavored not enl
to present the situation clearly , but to foi
mulato a plan upon which women of varloi
opinions might agree. The main point <
difference rslated to the giving of hospltallt
to rho congresses the question had becom
ono of the amount to be Invested and th
commltteo proposed a gift of J500 with til
addition of $140 , the amount .for . which th
club Is obligated for rent for the summc

TAKE a dollar. Take a two-dollar bill. Take five
silver dollars , and then take the whole business
over to The Nebraska and it will buy you a now spring
suit that would cost you fifteen dollars anywhere else.
That's no joke. Our line of new Spring Suits is ready
for your careful criticism , and we tell you right now that
you don't have to wait till the end of the season to find
them marked down. They are marked down now The
suits which are marked live , six and seven dollars will
probably not last longer than six or seven weeks and
they Avill cost you more money if wo have to duplicate
them again this year. Why more ? Because wo con
tracted for thcpo suits before the recent increase in price
and we are not smart enough to get them made up for
the same price again. The suits which are marked eight
to eighteen dollars are wonderful values in the light of
present wholesale prices and you will think they are
more than wonderful in the light of retail prices around
town. One thing wo want to particularly impress on
the public regarding these new suits is that the prices
now will be the prices as long as these suits are in the
house. We never mark our prices up. Neither do wo
mark 'em down. Don't wait till July or August in the
hope of buying 'em during our great Mark Down Sale ,
because we won't have any , and besides that they'll ' bo
gone. Gone ! Do you catch on ?
