were a flat. appearing lot of people. They
were well dressed , and said they didn't care
just so they had a good time. Each excursionist -
sionist wore a little red badge with "St.
Joseph" stamped on It. the ribbon being held
In place with a button. on which appeared
a little porlcr. and this qut'ry and answer :
"St. Joe Itooters. Are We in it ? Watch

While the band was playing a few popular

While the city omcials ot St. Joseph were
coming in at the iouth end of town the busi-
neii , men of that city were storming the
. north walls. They entered from the exposi-
IlDu terminal station of the Missouri Pa-
cHic and made a notably strong showing.
There were nearly as many of them as
came In down town and they represented
the St. Joseph Commercial club. the Wheeler
anufacturing company. Tootle , Wheeler &
Mutter , the WCCI Manufacturing company ,
John S. Brittain , the Perfection Pump corn-

mercial and manufacturing industries of St.
Joseph.
The business men came in on two special
trains , the cars of which were handsomely
decorated with banners aod flyers. telling

tip of tMelvc cars. and the. second carried
right coaches. In the two trains were
somewhat over 1.000 excuraloillsts. The
large number of business men and employas
of business houses secured through the
liberal llnlic3 puriiut'd by the ProPrietors of
the leading bouss. Nearly all of them
closed their stores and factories for the day
and gave their employes railroad tickets and
admission to the exposition. One of the
CrnnmcrcInl club men said : "Yes. I guess
we're all here. We pretty nearly closed up
the town today in honor of your exposition.
About the only people left at home are the
Invalids and the base ball team. "
The two special trains filled Ith bual-
ness men and their families came from St.

? dontana claims the honor of being one of
the few states beside ebraska whos leg'

lag state resources at the exposition. The
stats appropriation of $15,000 was duplicated
by Mr. Daly , one of Anaconda's large-
hearted citizens. This has made it possible
for the rice president , Mr Sutberlin , and
his assistants. to flot only erect a commodl-
ous state home , but t'o install a series of
five exhibits : the educational , forestry , agriculture -
culture , horticulture. and mIning. They
rank among the most attractively gotten up
and kept up displays on the grounds.
The educational exhibit has been lilaced
in the Liberal Arts building at the eastern
end of the north gallery at the head of the
stairs , just the place where one is tempted
to rest , and really. the open doorways. cool
green walli and rugs and the easy chairs
seem to Invite one to atop and rest-an invi-
tatlon few fail to accept.
Miss Murphy , 'rho superIaes the exhibit ,
has the faculty of making peopic feel at
borne and at perfect liberty in ask questions.
relevant or otherwise , to the public schools.
But hospitality on as large a scale as thb
state itself seems characteristic of Moo-
tans. . A recent Instanee of this is the invi-
tntIon extended Missouri to share Its state
building.
Owitig to the limited amount of time for
I preparing the school exhibit , no attempt
was made to collect a large amount of material -
terial , but rather , that which should be a
concise epitome of the public school system
of the state. To this cud a flue collection
of photographs of school buildings was made ,
Including the State university at Missoula ,
Normal school at Dillon. School of Mines at
Butte , Agricultural school at Bozeman. the
College of Montana at Deer Lodge. founded
some fourteen years ago. the t3ntversity at
Helena , also one of the older colleges. and
numerous public schools.
With the collection , too , are portraits of
Boards of Education. teachers , students ,
man3' early territorial and state orneisla ,
typical bits of scenery from the National
parl < , which extends into the state , and the
great falls of the Misourt. ticalcks pietm e. ,
of homes , smelting plants and prominent
buildings In different localities. Many are
tastefull , framed and hung on the walls of
the boot.'i. while a cliii larger number of
placed on tables for Inspection.
A fine view of the Custer battleground is
ooticed , showing the handsome monument
erected to General Custer and his men , the
rnodest shafts marking the spot where carb
soldier fell and the simple cross which marks
the place where Custer fell. One can rend-
ily imagine the interest this historic jr3und
arouses in the pupils.
Montana. unlike some of the older btates ,
has made prominent at the beginning of the
establishment of its state institutions. tne
Induetrial phase of education. The Agricultural -
tural college. now nearly three years old ,
sends work from its numerous departments.
A herbarium in wing frames , mounted on
an ornate oak standard , shows many i.peci-
mens of native flora , chiefly from the Gal-
latin valley. The drawing sent is beautiful
in execution as well as in the manner of Its
display. Much of it is done in water col-
ors. protected with glass and encased in
daInty white molding. The subjects are
drawn largely from still life-fruit , flower
and vegetable studies , together with several
pleasing landscapes.
As proof of the further progressiveness
of this school may be mentioned pictures of
the ofilcers of its cadet companies and football -
ball team.
Another state school represented is the
Dillon Normal. I ws told this was but a
year old. but judging from the exhibit one
would not draw this conriuslon. The work
from the "practice" classes compriser draw-
trig and written work in all branches. 0 !
especial interest are the local history papers ,
giving concisely much valuable Information
of the settlement and development of this
part of Uncle Sem's dnmaiz. Many of the
sketches are illustrated with maps and appropriate -
propriate drawings.
From the public schools of the capital
city , Helena. comes a quantity of eci1Yt
work , many of the mounted pieces being in
substantial oak frames. The drawing lit
systematic in arrangement. That from the
kindergarten and primary grades Is marked
by the use of colored crayon in the flower
and fruIt sketches and landscapes , while
water colors are introduced In the third
year and used throughout the remaining
grades and high school. The work covers
the usual list of subjects. nature. design.
models. casts. life and mechanical drawing.
Several mining scenes. cabins , hastily Ira-
provised stores and smelters are sketched in
1)00 and ml : .
In the school exhibits from the various
ittates these features. sr'tting forth typical
local history iteem most attractive to a ma-
lorlty of visitors.
The work already mentioned is mainly
from the west and southwest , but Miles
City , to the far eat. sends an exhibit to
be proud of , embracing work from all
branches of the curriculum. But a small
portion of the work Is ruounted , the balance
in neatly bound volumca Is placed on tables ,
where visitors examine 'It at their ease.
After studying the work from these
schools , one acknowledges the. . wIsdom
showa by Montana in "ranking haste slow-
ly" at. regards the founding of its higher
institutions of learning. In this instance
the truth of the old adoge is amply dein-
onstrated. ELLA B. PERRINE.

TranNmilPIsPlIIipi I'nlr ,
Following are some expressions of lecal
opinion on the probable eect of the end of
the war on business In general and exposition -
tion attendance in particular :
Senator Tburston The exposition will
qcrtaini3' feel the quiclening impulse of the
establishment of peace , just as business of
all kinds will feel It. It is well and fa.
'rorably known to the people of the east ,
and they only need the relaxation of the interest -
terest in war to bring them west to look
at the exposition. I look for large numbers
of them out here during the months of September -
tember and October.
Mayor Frank E. Moor : We can look
for a decided improvement in the attendance -
ance as fi. result of the declaration of the
peace. especially of people from the east.
The papers throughout the country. particularly -
ticularly those in the eastern part of the
country. have been running "Santiago" or
"Manila" or "J'orto Rico" at the top of
their columns over since the exposition
opened. Now that there will no longer be
any occasion for this the newspapers will
naturally fall back upon the next biggest
eveot in the world's history and devote their
space to the Tranamiasissippi Exposition.
Theresuit wIll be that people who have hod
no time to devote except to the reading
of war new's ill read about the exposition.
and , rendinc of its magnitude , vIll journey
vest to see it.
Herman Kountac : The effect of peace
ought to be good for the exposition. The
war has so absorbed the attention of eastern
i'eople that they have overlooked or forgotten -
gotten the exposition. This can in a meat-
nrc be remedied now , and they will have
an opportunity to read of Omaha , and they
may decide to come out.
Judge W. D. McHugh : I look for an increased -
creased attendance now that the war has
come to an cod. The newspapers will de'
vote more space to the exposition. for there
will not he so big a demand upon them by
news of the war. What we ought to have
now is a big peace jubilee. There is no
more appropriate place or time for such a
celebration than right here in Omaha in
connection wIth the exposition , which is supposed -
posed to represent the pursuits of peace. I
would favor a public meeting at once to
bring this about. Do not make it adJunct -
Junct of the exposition , but an independent
affair , of national scope. to which the president -
dent of the United States might come without -
out fear of being used as an advertising
card. This should be done at once. and it
seems to roe it could be made a success.
John Francis. general passenger agent of
the B. & M. : The negotiation of the pear
treaty cannot but have a very beneficial
ellect on the exposition. With the close of
the war. the newspapers of the country will
have space for something else besidet war
news , and I believe wil1 devote much more
attention to the exposition. ijurlog toe remainder -
mainder of the exposition I believe we'll he
able to attract more attention to it than we
have up to this time. The people will think
1)1 something else besides war now that It
is over , and the exposition should come infer
for a large share of their attention.
John A. Kuhn. general agent of the Northwestern -
western railroad : The negotiation of peace
meant increased activity for the railroads.
With the revival of commerce the railroads
must necesearily be benefited. I believe we
shall have increases both in freight and
passenger trafflc. The finish of the war
should result in greater crowds of visitors
to our exposition , and I believe it will.
J.v , Munn of the Elkhorn's passenger
department Certainly the close of the war
will help the exposition. The people will
have something else to think about besides
the war , and ve'll' be better able to impress
them with the great attractions we have
here. I look for much greater attendance
during the remaining months of the exposition -
tion than if the war bad kept on.
A. Darlow of the Union Pacific passenger
department : It wiil unquestionably be of
great benefit to the business of the country -
try , especially to the railroads. as we will
now be compelled to figure on hauling back
the troops w1ich we recently carried to the
front. It wtll also increase amer mines oi
travel. and necessarily that wiil inure to
the benefit of the exposition. bringing more
people to the west and to this city.
City Comptroller Westberg : It is a fact
that ever since the war has opened the
people of the United States have displayed
no desire to pay any attention to anything
in the way of amusements. The bad sue-
cogs that has attended pretty nearly everything -
thing in the amusement line fully attests
10 thIs. With the war over the American
people will turn to something else to distract -
tract their attention and as they are an
amusement-loving people they will naturally
turn to something that will give them en-
Joyment. Attendance at various places of
amusement will pick up , and , as the exposition -
tion is the biggest show in the country. a
big number will naturally watch this and
will finily be induced to attend themselves.
The result will be an increased attendance.
The next two and a half months ought to
be hig ones.
City Clerk Beecber Higby : I believe that
the ending of the war will result in an increased -
creased interest in the exposition throughout
the country. With this incream'ecl interest
viii come a desire to see the show itself
and the result will he a bigger attendance.
The people of this country have been so engrossed -
grossed in the progress of the war that
they have had no time to devote to anything -
thing else except possibly their own busi-
ness. With their minds taken off the
problem they will turn again to the affairs
of this country and the first object they
will light upon wiii be the exposition.
Henry W. Totes : I think that without
doubt it will prove to be a good thing for
the exposition.
John C. Cowin : It must surely help. for
it will attract the attention of the people
from war , and give them an opportunity to
think of enterprises connected with peace.
General Solicitor William ft. Kelly of the
Union Pacific : The war Is over , and I supPose -
Pose fighting has ceased. But there are
battles of diplomacy yet to be waged , and
upon their results depend important in-
teresta of this nation. lii negotiating Ieace
conditions this country has greater cc-
sponibihities. It seems to me , than it has
ever before encountered In Its history. It
has now to deal with some new hiroblems.
and I have faith enough in the government
to believe they will be solved to the credit
and the ultimate good of this country. The
close of war means renewed activity
throughout the country ; first , in shipbujld-
ing. secondi. in manufacturing and thirdly.
to agricultural pursuits. One of the first re-
. suIts of the 'fl be the upbuilding of
the American merchant marine. With the
opening of new markets to our goods I be-
hieve there will be a wonderful revival in

The fact thafe'arly flOO,000.000 was withdrawn -

demonstrated how sound a financial basis we

I cannot see but that the outlook is very
bright.

Fort Omaha. It ought not to be difficult to
get them , or at least a partlon of that aura-

much by the war to stop to consider the
value of peace and its achievements in in-
dustry. art and science.
President Charles E. Winter of the Nebraska -
braska State League of Republican Clubs :
The republican party has demonstrated that
it is always the safe party , whether in peace
or war , and even the opponents of Mr. McKinley -
Kinley are forced to praise his cool-headed-
nets , conservative judgment , and humane
tactics. His manner of conducting the war
has astonished the world and made Europe
blush. Now the party , having proven its
fitness in a most trying time , will have
easy sailing through a period of peaceful
development. As for the exposition , why
of course the termination of the war will
be a big thing for it. The public mind 'will
now have 'iome room for a proper regard
for the 'alue of the triumphs. nearer home ,
of peace.
County Judge Baxter : I am glad that
peace has come at last tor many reasons ,
one that the object of the 'war has been no-
complialted , another that it shows to the
world we are not a brutal , avaricious or
improperly ambitious nation , another that
the lesson of time war has been learned , as
it baa demonstrated to our own people that
the republican party has been fortunate in
the man at the head of the nation-Mr.
McKinley-and has again proven its Xitneas
to handle the reins of government during
trying periods. Mr. McKinley has manifested -
fested both executive and judicial qualities
of the highest character , while his humaneness -
ness and conservatism must stir up the
world to admiration. It bar been extremely
fortunate for Spain that it has had no less
advanced or highly developed a foe than
America. Spain cannot complain of our
magnanimity. As to the exposition , I am
inclined to think that it will demand more
attention than it has for the reason that the
mind of the nation will now react from
things of war to things of peace , and will
appreciate better what the advantages of
peace are as demonstrated in our exposition -
tion , and , by the way , these expositions , one
after the other , are fast bringing the world
to a proper appreciation of peace as a de-
'i'eloper.

Superintendent Wilson , in charge of the

for the exposition. and ought to start travel
toward Omaha. People will feel easier and

money.
Secretary Greef of the Hansas commission :
The close of the war with Spain means a
boom for the exposition. With peace assured -

a tremendous rate.
General Manoger Clarkson : It Is the hig-
gent thing that could have occurred , so far as
benefIting the exposition is concerned. Now
the crowds will begin to move this way and
the great papers of the cities will give us
space. In the past the war news crowded
cveryihiog out , but now we will be given
a show. We will go right on with the
preparations mor toe veace .iuunee ann wiii

present.
Secretary Wakefield : With the coming of
peace , the financial success of thi' exposi-

BOARD IS ON TIlE SAFE SIDE

Any Member.
MONEY EXPENDED FOR SCHOOL SITES
Deals All Uade in Sucb Way as 10
Fall lilbide the Statntor Limi-
Sutton No Matter IIou'
It is Figured ,
Members of the Board of Education are
not losing any sleep over the action coin-
inooced in. the district court by Joseph Redman -
man to have the recent purchases of school
sites set aside on the ground that the purchase -
chase rice is in excess of the maximum
expenditure ot money allowed by the stat-
utea to school boards without submitting
the matter t the people at i special dee-
tion. Thea' have gone over every phase of
the matter , considered the point made by
Redman and are of the opinion that the suil
Is worth just about the price of the revenue
stamp that is affixed to the papers.
It is true that the statutes limit a. school
board to an annual expenditure of $25,000
for schools and school sites without asking
the people 'to 'ote the money. The section
of the statute making thia provision rends
that "in case the purchnse of school sites
or the erection of buildings shall require
an expenditure exceeding $25,000" lo a year
the Permission of the people at special
election must he asked. It is also
true that the aggegate purchase price of the
two Bites Is $31,500. But the members of the
school board would like to see how Redman
is going to show that th board has cx-
pended or intendit to expend more than
$25,000 of this amount in any one 'ear.
The board has made a full payment of the
purchase price of the case street lots-iil-
000. It has paid $6,250 on the $12,500 pur.
chase price of the Pacific school site. This
would make a total expenditure of $21,250 , ,
but the board points out that no sum by
any means so large has been paid out of
the school fund A portion of the $15,000
was iaid with a $5,000 city warrant , turned
over by the city in partial payment for the
Dodge school site. This warrant was never
con'orted into cash nor turned into the
school fund , but was handed directly to the
owner of the property. Conbequeutly the
members assert that under the circumstances -
stances this warrant was a Piece of property
"swapped" for another piece of property.
Consequently they flure that they have
spent 20,000 , well under the limit. Thu
remaining $6,250 need not be lisid for five
years , the board having an option of 110) "
lag it any time after the .nd of the first
year. They do not propose to pa ) ' It any
time this lear.
Consequently the board members point out
that Redman wiii have a hard time to ro'o
that the board is expending more than
$25,000 for sites and buildings in the year
1858. It may be. too. that the year In
this statute means the fiscal school year.
In ruth case the board 'will be still
safer. The fiscal year ends June 50. Time
$ itf,000 'was iaid before that date and the
G,2IO afterward. In case the' ) 'ear means
the aCS days tollowing the date the first
purchase money was paid the board figures
it is still oo the right side , for it does not
propose to riurclmase any more school sites
or expend more money in that way for at
least one year.
