The annual meeting of the National Den
tal atsoclatlon will convene Tuesday morn
ing at 11 o'clock and continue until Friday
afternoon. Jt will be preceded on Monday
by a meeting of the State Dental associa
tion. This will be the first meeting of the
national association , reorganized and con
solidated. The American Dental association
was organized at Niagara Kails In 1859 , and
the Southern Dental association was also an
old organization , but at the meeting of the
two at Old Point Comfort last year a union
was perfected , and the name of National
association was adopted. The meeting this
week will be the first of the new organlba-
tlon.
tlon.An
An attendance Is expected at the meeting
of anywhere from 500 to 1,000 , as dentists
from all parts of the country will be here.
In fact a large number of them are here
now , and have been coming on all trains ,
and will be arriving every hour up till the
opening of the meeting. The down town
hotels are full of them. As evidence that
the meeting will bo most Important , one of
the largest dental supply Institutions In the
country has sent on ten of Us men to take
charge of the exhibit It will have displayed
during the progress of the meeting.
No organized attempt will be made by the
local dentists to prepare entertainment for
the visitors , as It Is one of the rules of the
association that Its members attend the
meetings to transact business and not to
have a good time. Further , H wqs not
known until recently that the meeting would
really bo held here. Omaha was designated
ns the place at the. last session , but lately
on effort was made by several other cities ,
including Chicago , to have the meeting place
changed , and It was only by the hardest
kind of work that those efforts were made
unavailing.
The olllcers of the association are as fol
lows : President , Thomas Pillebrown of
Boston , who arrived In the city during the
last week ; eastern vice president , Jntnca
McManus of Hartford , Conn. ; western vice
president , L. L. Dunbar of San Francisco ;
southern vice president , B. Holly Smith of
Baltimore ; recording secretary , George H.
Cushlng of Fairmont , Cat. ; assistant secre
tary , William E. Walker of Pass Christian ,
Miss. ; corresponding secretary , Emma
Eames Chase of St. Louis ; treasurer , Henry
W. Morgan of Nashville , Tcnn.
The work of the meeting will be divided
into sections , each representing some divi
sion of dental science , and the results of
these sectional sessions will bo reported
later to the general body. There will be
ten sections as follows : Prosthetic dentis
try , chemistry and metallurgy ; dental edu
cation , literature and nomenclature ; opera
tive dentistry ; histology and microscopy ;
materta medlca and therapeutics ; physiology
and etiology ; anatomy , pathology and sur
gery ; hygiene and prophylactic dentistry ;
orthodontla ; clinics.
The sessions of the association will be
held at Crelghton Medical college. The
first meeting of the sections will be at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning.

IOWA IS COMIXQ IX FUMj FORCE.
Secretary Chime Tell * of the Celebra
tion of III * State' * Day.
Speaking of the- exposition , Secretary
Chase of the Iowa commission , said : "It
Is a pronounced success , second In beauty
and size to the World's fair , held In Chicago
cage in 1S3. All Iowa people will desire
to visit the exposition before it la closed
and there Is no better time to come than
during September.
' 'The Iowa commission has selected Sep
tember 21 as Iowa day , and during that
week It Is expected that the railroads will
make the very low rate of 1 cent per mlla
from all parts of the state. As Iowa Is
the first In importance of the transmissls-
clppl states , and as the exposition Is held
upon the bluffs overlooking Iowa soil , at our
Immediate western boundary , Iowa day
should be and will bo the greatest day In
point of attendance of any of the state
days.
"In order to make Iowa day at the ex
position the grandest of all state days that
will be held during the months of September
and October , the Iowa commission has de
cided to appeal to the state and local pride
of the various cities and tor. us and coun
ties In the state to assist In making It the
great event that It should be. Eminent

Plnnn of the I-cium , Ivnnlnn * .
Vigorous efforts are being made to make
Pennsylvania day at the exposition , October
D , one of the leading state days of the
scries. Omaha people who have the Key
stone state as their place of nativity have
enlisted the active support of those who
live elesewhere in the transmlssisslppl
region and together they promise to make
a creditable showing for their state. The
time selected will be in the same week
with the Ak-Sar-Ben annual festivities and
that fact Is being made use of to bring
the Pennsylvanlans out to the exposition.
The details of the program for the day
have not yet been arranged , but they will
be worked out later by the managers of the
exposition and the state commission. Gov
ernor Hastings of Pennsylvania will be
present and will respond to the welcome ex
tended by the transmisslsstppl states and
Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith
will make the address of the day. There
will also be special music.
In order the better to gather the children
of the Keystone state in Omaha on that
dote Pennsylvania clubs have been organ
ized In this city and throughout the trans
mlssisslppl region , which will bring the
people interested In touch with this move
ment and arouse within them an Interest
In the day and a desire to be present at
the celebration.
To make the gathering more like the
harvest home festivals so familiar In Penn
sylvania years ago , the local clubs are ar
ranging for a big basket picnic to be held
at Hanscom park on October C , the day
after the state celebration. Here the time
will be devoted to short speeches , re
miniscences , story telling and the forming
of new acquaintances and the renewing of
old ones. Five thousand button badges
have been ordered as souvenirs of the day
and the local committee expects to have
the supply exhausted before all the Penn-
sylvanlans present shall be served.
K LITTLE GIRL AT THE g
EXPOSITION.
Dear Mr. Editor : The last tlmo my
friend and I went to the exposition we had
such a good time we thought wo would go
again and then I didn't know if you hod
got back from Washington or not , and. as
another excursion of children was expected ,
I thought I had bette ; bo on hand.
I don't think there was quite ns many
children came this time as before , but there
were enough to make things lively , and
say. Mr. Editor , did you ever notice that
when you nre In a crowd that you meet
the same party nearly everywhere you go ?
My friend and I had a whole lot of fun
yesterday over a party that seemed to be
tagging us everywhere we went. This
party , a man and his wife and three chil
dren , were enjoying themselves in their
way , which greatly amused us. Say , did
you ever stop to think how many different
ways there are to enjoy yourself at the
exposition ? The mother seemed to be
afraid that the children would starve and
insisted upon feeding them every few
minutes from a basket ihe carried with
her , and I Just wish you could have seen
the things that came out of that basket.
I know you would have been surprised , for
I was. My friend giggled and I thought it
was time to move 'on , so we started to the
Agriculture building and here I found the
sweetest place I was ever In in my life and
I will tell you right where to find it , so
when you go out you can go and see It for
yourself. You will find It In the Agri
culture building , In Nebraska's exhibit.
Here I became acquainted with a bee
that was not an Omaha Bee and it must
have been a very busy bee. Here we
found a big flour mill , constructed out of
honeycomb , and I am sure you will agree
with me when I say It was sweet. The
mill and the bouse on the hill were made
of honeycomb and besides this there was
the tiny miniature railway with the engine
and cars on the track. This was sweet
also , but was not made out of honeycomb ,
and if the flour made in this mill Is as
sweet as the mill Is I should think that
all the bread would turn out cake. *
This is only one of the many of Ne
braska's beautiful exhibits. I was Just
wondering bow much flour a mill llko this
could turn out In a day when "our party"
with the lunch basket hove In sight , and I
was so afraid my friend would giggle again
that I concluded I would wait until some
other time to make inquiries.
So we pasted on and what attracted our
attention most was that wonderful exhibit
from Montana. I think Montana must be
one of the most beautiful eta ten in the
west , with its lofty mountains with animals
running wild all over them , and the cutest
little waterfall comes dashing down the
side of the mountain , and I wondered it
the noted California , trees could be any
more beautiful than those I found here.
And I made up my mind that If I ever got
tired of Nebraska I would go to Montana to
live.
live.We
We finally started for home and had Just
got seated in the car going home when our
friends with the lunch basket got aboard
the ccr , and , would you believe it , Mr.
Editor , that basket was not empty yet.

Here in October ,
MANAGER ROSEWATER TELLS OF HIS TRIP
Wafthlngton Authorities Show Great
luterent In the exposition and
Lend Much AHKlNtnnee to
Make It a Succei * .
Edward Rosewater returned yesterday
from Washington , whither he went at the
behest of the managers of the exposition
to invite President McKlnley to attend the
Peace Jubilee early In October.
In an interview Mr. Rosewater said : "I
have been out nine days and have had a
very successful tour. Before starting for
Washington I labored under the Impression
that Chicago bad given up Its proposed
peace jubilee , but upon my arrival , there
eastbound I found that they had reconsid
ered and decided to make an effort to get
the president to attend their demonstration.
In order to avoid any conflict with Chicago ,
which has a representative In the cabinet
in Secretary Gage , I communicated with
their committee of arrangements and was
invited to a conference with President
Rerell of the Union League club and Fer
dinand Peck. They expressed themselves as
very anxious to co-operate and I promised
to report to them what disposition the
president seemed to evlnco regarding his
proposed western tour.
"Arriving at Washington on Saturday
morning I succeeded in securing an Inter
view by appointment at 3 p. m. I was ac
companied by Assistant Secretary of War
Melklejohn. The president appeared to be
very favorably inclined. He paid a high
compliment to the pluck and energy of the
exposition management which had carried
out Its plans in the face of war. The presi
dent was also highly pleased with the
painting of the Grand Court which I pre
sented on behalf of the exposition. That
picture Is now hung up in the White House
and will bo a reminder there for years to
come of the great achievement at Omaha.
GetN I'onltlve Aimurniicc.
"When I read the report sent out by the
Associated Press to the New York papers ,
which seemed to indicate that the president
had not yet made up his mind with refer
ence to a western tour , I decided to have
a second interview and to make sure that
nothing had happened to cause the presi
dent to change his mind. As I bad at ths
first Interview secured a promise from the
president of a signed photograph to b'o
hung up In The Bee building , I bad a good
excuse for returning to the White House.
At the second Interview the president was
very positive that he fully Intended to visit
Omaha , there being no question except as
to the tlmo and possible complications that
no one could foresee.
"All the cabinet officers were out of the
city onmy arrival , attending the New York
naval review. On their return last Monday
I succeeded in interviewing five of them
and each promised to participate In our cele
bration on Cabinet day. The fact that they
all seemed to have fallen In with the idea
indicated clearly that the president bad al
ready mentioned the matter to them.
"Just before closing my first Interview
with the president I broached the Chicago
matter and the president waved his band ,
stating that Chicago was quite able to take
care of itself , and I thereupon dropped the
subject. While In New York I received
the following telegram from Postmaster
Gordon of Chicago :
" 'Anxious to communicate with reference
to the president's visit to Omaha. Chicago
people want to co-operate with you. ' This
telegram Indicates -that Secretary Gage him
self had not been able to get the president
to commit himself to a promise to stop over
in Chicago , coming or going , but in all
probability he will do ser
"On my arrival In Chicago on the return
trip the Tlmes-Herald had this to say :
"President McKlnley has accepted the In
vitation to attend the Peace Jubilee in Oc
tober. He will possibly be accompanied by
Lyman J. Gage , secretary of the treasury ,
and John D. Long , secretary of the navy.
"The Jubilee executive committee rejoiced
yesterday over the receipt of this news
from Washington. Edward Roiewater of
Omaha , who went east to see the presi
dent , verified the news of the president's
contemplated attendance at the Jubilee In
a telegram announcing that the president
bad given positive assurance that he would
visit Chicago while enroute to the Trans *
mlsslsslppl Bxposltion at Omaha.
"Mr. Rosewater , representing the Omaha
Exposition , conferred with the Jubilee com
mittee before he went to Washington and
agreed upon a date which would give the
president an opportunity to attend both
cities without personal inconvenience. The
formal Invitation to the president has also
been tendered by W. U. Harper , chairman of
the Invitation committee. Much depended
on Mr. Rosewater's visit. Formal accept
ance Is expected by mall within a few days.
"The news of the president's decision
created great enthusiasm.
Will Hare the War Balloon * .
"As to the war balloons and war relics ,
the expoiltlon Is under great obligations to
Assistant Secretary Melklejohn , who has
taken special pains to extend all the favors
possible. It was chiefly through bis co
operation that we succeeded In getting the
balloon * , although General GreeUjr U a per-

Watching Their Watches
When General Shatter had completed the
investment of Santiago , word went along
the five-mile line of battle , "The attack on
the Intrenchments will be made at 4:15. : "
At 4:15 : every American soldier's hand
went to his American watch , and every
American patriot on the field eald : "NOW ! "
History tells the result.
A good watch Is needful In war as In
peace. Modern life , whether on the field of
battle or In the quiet home , is measured
by fractions of minutes. "Pretty near
the right time" will not do , In these stirr
ing times. Get one of my American
Watches and go by It.

wire , paid out as the balloon ascends. A
complete photographic outfit Is also part of
the equipment. The hydrogen gas Is gen
erated by means of an apparatus consisting
of gas generator , gasometer , gas compressor ,
steam engine and several hundred gas tubes.
These tubes are eight Inches In diameter
and fifty Inches long. They are seamless ,
each tube being tested to a pressure of 4,000
pounds to the square Inch. By means of the
gas compressor the tubes are filled with
hydrogen gas , practically In liquified state.
When the balloon Is to be Inflated the tubes
are connected by means of valves and fit
tings to the gas chamber in the balloon
and inflation is made. At Santiago this
monster balloon was used by the United
States signal corps In making observations
In conjunction with a number of small bal
loons of various colors placed so as to Indi
cate the position of each brigade or division.
"Another thing that I succeeded in bring
ing about was the enlargement of the Indian
encampment. The Indians now here are to
be reinforced by several hundred red men
from the southwest. Prof. James Mooney
of the Smithsonian Institution , who has been
delegated for ethnological work , is here DOW
and will proceed to the reservations of the
Klowas , Commanches , WIchltas and asso
ciated tribe * , Arapahos , Cheyennes and
Apaches , under Chief Geronlmo , now held
as prisoners of war at Fort Sill , Oklahoma.
The professor will return with these Indians
In about two weeks. "
FUTURE OF THE CURRENCY
Sir. Cornvrcll of the American Bank
er * ' Association Espreue * Him
self on the Question.
William C. Cornwell of Buffalo , N. Y. , ex-
president of the New York State Bankers'
association , a member of the executive com
mittee of the Indianapolis convention , vice
president for New York of the National
Sound Money league and chairman of the
committee on education of the American
Bankers' association , is in the city on his
way home from the Denver convention.
Mr. Cornwell , In conversation with a. Bee
man , said :
"The Bee's editorial yesterday morning
on the 'Future of the Currency' vtca timely
and sound and the splendid work of The
Omaha Bee In the fight for sound money
during the trying years Just put has given
It an enviable reputation In the east and
has done yeoman service in bringing about
a change of ideas in the northwest , where
the people have simply needed education to
bring them to a Just conclusion onthe great
question of the monetary standard. The
editorial touches upon the 111 adaptation of
our currency for the growing bold we are
getting on the commerce of the world. The
United States has demonstrated Its naval
and military supremacy and these depart
ments will be speedily brought to first-class
conditions If lacking at any point In Mc
Klnley we have developed a war president
and a statesman of the first class. His
conduct throughout bas excited admiration
and profound respect abroad and veneration
and Intense loyalty on the part of the Amer
ican people. Our currency department is ,
however , lamentably deficient for the pur
poses of our own great business , to say
nothing about what may come to us through
recently acquired or to be acquired control.
"The business men of the United States
thoroughly appreciate this need and through
the Indianapolis convention , the grand and
inestimably valuable work of the monetary
commission and the McCleary bill , which
is the outcome of these forces , the business
men have shown that they propose to have
this mitter settled right and settled soon.
"I have just returned from the Bankers'
convention at Denver. It was one of the
moit Interesting conventions we have ever
held. The Denver people were royal in
their hospitality and we are all In love with
them. I was prepared by the bankers who
stopped at Omaha on the way out to ex
pect a rare treat In viewing the exposition.
I am not only not disappointed , but find it
far beyond ( ay expectation * . The K a at

night Is one of the most beautiful I have
ever witnessed and the whole compares
favorably with other expositions In different

the stirring energy and business enterprlie
