( Continued from first Page. ) some of the most momentous epochs In the history of the world have been ushered In without attracting the attention of the world at large. It had come under bin pert eonal observation thnt even when the procla mation of emancipation was Issued by I'rcsl- ilcnt Lincoln It excited no visible demon- btratlon In the city where It was promul- gated. This was also true of the Transmlsj Blhslppl Exposition The Inception of the inr terprlso had attiactcd but llttlo attention in tbls community Even those who partlc- ijnted In Its birth did not rcnll/o whnt tall oakx from little acorns grow. Three months nftur Omiilia was ptlectcd as the site ot the exposition scarcely forty men met at the Commercial club to start the subscrip tion list The first man wanted to head the 31st for $100 , but ever $10,000 was finally subscribed - scribed Even when we went before congress - gross for a $300,000 appropriation only $1,250 had been paid In. "It was the greatest p < ! eco of adamantine Enll I over saw , " continued the speaker , "but we succeeded , not only In getting the or- Igln.il appropriation , but $10,000 additional for the org.inlntlon and maintenance of the Indlin congress It was not luck that brought this about , but hard labor Whllo very few of our people tcallzc and many will never realize what has been done , they can see the results since 2.UOO.OOO people have passed through our gates. Even some of our best business mtn refused to cooperate - operate In Iho enterprise and freely pre dicted calamity and disaster Only five state legislatures made appropriations , but we have twenty states creditably represented on the grounds through private subscrip tions. " * . In this connection Mr. noicwnter called attention to come of the municipal Jealousies that had handicapped the management In pocurlnc outside co-operation in the earlv days of thn enterprise and related ono or two humorous Incidents that effectively illustrated the dllTlciiltlcs that had been en countered. SpcjkliiR of the work of his own depart- rnont Mr Hosewater said that the labors of the Department of Publicity had extended from Massachusetts to Oregon and Wash ington. They had Involved dally and nightly attention and the correspondence thnt had been carried on would fill many volumes. "Hut , " he concluded , "I will not weary > ou with tolling what wo h-avo done. Hero wo have the result , the irost marvelous achieve ment that the pioneers of the west have ever undertaken nnd accomplished. We have found that whnt Onraha undertakes to do she will complete and that Omaha can do as much ns any other city to develop the resources of the Avest. Chicago received money enough from the general government to build ten expositions. Even then they had to postpone It a year , while In splto of th'o war and In splto ot circumstances wo opened our exposition promptly on time and wo will close It tonight with all the glory that anjono can wish. " FroHldcitt "U'liHIon * Adilrefi * . The concluding address was delivered by 1'rcsldent-Wattl.w ivha-spok ? nt"Borne length and rather exhaustively reviewed the work of exposition building. In conclusion he gave a statement of the financial standing ot * ho enterprise which was received with general enthusiasm. Ho said In part : To ono nud all of these managers who have served from the beginning without compensation , this community owes a debt which can never bo paid , nnd while It Is usual for the credit of n great battle to bo given to the general of the war. In many Instances , as with this exposition this credit is equally duo to the efficient services of his assistants and to the common soldiers , who include nearly every representative clthe-i in this community , for nil have workol with ono purpose to build up this entcrpiisc nnd bring to It the largo measure of success It has attained. This exposition has been an object lesson of great value to this com munity It has Illustrated what can bo ac complished by standing together as one man in all matters of common Interest. " "ho much tlrno nnd energy have been spent in the past In seeking to destroy the Influence of men who were willing to work for the inibllo good and the result of this great achievement should bring lno tMojcr union the business men of this t'tv ! n Iho up , building ofwhat , in the next few years must bo ono of , the great commercial centers of the woild.

The Hureau of Entertainment was well conducted by the la dles ot this city nnd has been a feature of the exposition thnt has pleased tliouwinds of visitors who have partaken of the hos pitality of the well ordered rooms provided for Its functions. Hut I cannot enumerate the faithful serv ices of all those deserving praise for their work. IIIN On 11 SM'clnl AVorU. When the exposition was completed and our gates were opened , special da > s and special programs were found necessary to In terest all classes. No less than 143 special days were arranged , all of greater or less Importance , each ono bringing Its quota of visitors who might not have come but for thu sptolal features of their day. I'uWu ceremonies bringing Into service many of the bcbt orators of the land , were arranged. The culminating event ot the > oar , the I'eaco Jubilee week , alone witnessed sl\ successful iclcbratlons In which the most distinguished ncn of the nation participated.

In my work I claim no , pcelnl credits itn citizen of this community I have slm y discharged my duty.

My every expectation has been realized and I shall retire from the office with which the stockholders and directors of this exposition have honored mo with the consciousness that mv every net has been Inspired I by pure motives and that my hx"t efforts have been given nt all tlmss during evil nnd good report for the sueccm of the enterprise nnd for the greatcit ord that could ho brought out of It for the commiin- Uy. | the state nnd the cotm'ry It has ml- \crtl ed In a manner ns never before to the world.

Since It betamo evident that a surplus would be left after the gates were I flnallj closed , numerous propositions have been made and various agencies nnd Indl- ' vlduals i have endeavored to divert this sur- i plus j to other public enterprises foreign to | I I the objects of the coiporatlon to which It belongs 1 A horde of clamoring claimants seek ' to divide the spoil" , but to ono nnd all la ' deaf car has been tinned and whatever Is left after the debts and obligations are discharged will bo sacredlv returned to the men nnd women who contributed to the en terprlhe In Us time of need. Not ono dollar will bo diverted to nnv other purpose ] foreign to this organlratlon. I favor the ' publication of a true history of this great achievement and have appointed a commit tee of honorable men , whose capacity an ! Integrity cannot be questioned , to prepare and publish this proud record , which Is not the achievement of anv Individual or ° et of men , but Is the culmination of the cffor s and sacrifices and of the energy and enter prise ; of all who have participated In Us con ception or triumphal progress. But the pub lication of this history may not eventually cost the exposition a dollar. The- first edi tion of the history of the Tennessee Cen tennial , n respectable volume of 500 pages , test $1,000 and wan sold In advance of pub lication at n profit of M.OOO. A fund has been set asldo for the pajmcnt of a history of this exposition , but this money will not lie wasted nnd. In my opinion , the larger | ) .irt will be returned to the tiensury when the work has been published and sold. of rinniice * . I have carefully compiled a staterrent of the present financial condition of this cir- poratlon. but bare figures are generally un interesting and I will summarize as fol lows * The total amount of stock sub scriptions collectfxl nnd paid Into the treanuiy on October 28 was. * 291,909 < M Thu total donations collected on that elate was 161,07020 The total earnings of the corpo ration to that date was 1,30T,35494 Making a grand total of cash received from all sources of.$1,761,364 IS Of this sum there remained In the hands of the secretary and treasurer on October 28 $ 360,49648 Adi to this amount the known and estimated earnings and collections slr.cc 53,00000 The good notes and accounts due , not Including' unpaid stock sub scriptions , 7,50000 'Wnufd make available at clo'se . . ot business tonight , , , .

It Is estimated that of the $291.909 04 paid on ccouut of stock subscriptions , $ .10,000 repre- cnts partial payments , leaving at this date about $271.10904 paid up stock. What will > o done for those stock subscribers who iavc not paid up In full Is a matter for uturo determination. In any event the col- ectlble subscriptions will moro than pay any hum that may be found duo them. Deducting estimated paid up stock. $271- 90904 , from available assets would leave : ontlngent liabilities $84.102 12. which. It vould seem , was sufficient to cover all possl- > Io claims of oveiy character. rifl > Per Cunt rmiileml. If thebo estimates are correct It will bo seen that we will bo able to pay our stock holders In full and this Is what wo hope o do. But in order to protect the coipora- lon fiom all possible liabilities , I shall rec ommend to the directors that an immediate , dividend of 50 per cent be declared ami laid without delay to the stockholders o ! ecord on this day. I trust this showing may bo as satisfac tory to the stockholders nnd patrons of this exposition as It Is to those who have been en trusted with Us management. I desire to express my sincere appreciation of the hearty co-operation I have recelvci from the private citizens of this communltv from all who have participated In the expo sltloii from other states and especially from the board of fifty directors who have hon ored and assisted me In a manner unusual , n public enterprise. By the co-operation nnd by the elflclont services of the managers of the departments a grand result has been achieved , which will stand out In the his tory of the west as the crowning fenturo In Its fifty years of growth and develop ment. At the conclusion of the address the band played a patriotic medley nnd at the familiar strain of the "Star Spangled Banner" the bis crowd rose to Its feet nnd cheered heartily. Then Ilev Mackay called for a vote of thanka from the people ot Omaha to the officers of the exposition for their un- tiilnc zeal and energy and the people sig nified their assent by rising agnln. This ended the program nnd the crowd scattered through the grounds while the officials nnd guests repaired to the banquet tables at the cafe. Count ) n I'rUe AVI nil or. The Douglas county pcoplo are In high feather over their success In pulling out prizes In the Agriculture and Horticulture buildings , where the principal e\hlbts ! ot the county were shown. During the entire season the agricultural display in the Agrlcurturo building has been the prldo of Sueprlntendent Walsh and the admiration of the thousands of visitors. All the people connected with the exhibit realised that It was the best made by any count ) and consequently when the judges announced their decision jcflterday no ono was surprised , The award of the judges carries a Hpocl.il diploma for the entire col lection , It being the hlshcst award offered , and Is a much higher premium than any gold medal or other diploma Issued , In addition to this , the county draws a gold medal on Itu corn , a gold medaf on the figure designated as King Corn and an other on the figure designated as Queen of Grasses The chandelier and the design , known as "corn on top , " each receive all- vo : medals. There has been some question regarding the disposition of the Douglas county ex hibit , but that hat , been settled now , The sheaf grain , corn and vegetable * ! will betaken taken to the poor farm , whore It vvlir be fed to the stock , The grains In bottles and jars will also be taken nut to the poor farm for the present and will bo stored for safe keeping. Later on It Is the Intention of the county commlihloners to bring U douu to\tn and place It In tue rooms of the Com mercial club or In the window of some one ol the railroad city ticket office * , the ID- t.-ntlon bolng to keep It n a permanent ex hibit , where It can be seen And uaed as . . standing . advertisement of the resources of Iho ( .ounty. No part of the Douglas county exhibit Is for sale , though much ot the corn has been given away to farmers from other states , who have come here and who have been so ( forcibly "truck with the grain that they have Insisted upon having nmnll quantities for teod. S AT THIS KX POSITION. Htndndenl Record * CilvltiK the FlK- urc In Detail , The statistical records of the exposition afford an excellent history ot Its material prosperity. The development of Interest and ; tbo conecquent additions In attendance . and patronage are effectively Indicated In j ! the records of the turnstiles and the dally receipts from gates and concessions. On account of the great crowd of ycnterday the complete figures of thn day In each par- tlcular wltr not be obtainable until late . this afternoon , but tho-o can bo approxi mately estimated ae compared with other da > s of similar proportions. The record Indicates ' that the total paid Admissions hare very nearly reached the 2jiXI,000 ( mark. The total receipts have far exceeded $1,000- 000 , without cooHlderlng the receipts from the . tale of commutation books and paee hooks : , which aggregate nearly $20,000 addi tional.

The largest audience"that " has gathered at any of the Innes' band concerts greeted the organization at Its farewell concert In the Auditorium last evening. In the main floor nnd gallery not a seat was unoccupied and the aisles were crowded ( o suffocation. Throughout the program the audience showed nn unmistakable sadness at parting with the organization whoss music all classes have learned to love. And the band Itself seemed to throw Into Its work a deeper feel ing than thnt of mere tnualcal Instinct , which spoke their regret at parting. The selection of number * for the pro- Rram was n fitting one. Kach toM the thought In the minds of nil. The- concert opened with Lassrn's overture , "Mow Can I Leave Thee" Thl * wan followed by Mcn- dclsKOhn's "Farewell" and Hatton'B "Ooodby , Sweetheart. " A duet by KalrclK and Walker , flute and French horn , en titled "Adieu , " was rendered In a manner to touch even the most unmusical and un feeling of the audience. The first part closed with a fantasia on the works of Tostl. Mr. Inncs played , for the next to the Hst number on the program , Sclmbort's "The Last ( Jrcetlug.

HAIM'V IMHKCTOHS AT \ Krnnt of CSnnil Tliliic * for lloth III ml niiil llcnly Is Sjtrrml. One of the closing features of the exposl- lon was Ihe banquet tendered the members of the Do.ird of Management of the govern- nent exhibit , the members of the state com missions of the Iransmlsslsslppl states , the superintendents of the various department of the exposition , Ihu Hoard of Oovornors of Iho Knights of Ak-Sar-Hen , the officers and mem bo re of the Omaha Commercial club , Iho clly and county officials , the members of the Board of Education and Board of Park Commissioners , district Judges and a tow Invited guests at the Markcl cafe last night. The banquet was In the hands ot the members of the executive com- mllleo of the exposition and Ihe Board of Directors. Plates were laid for 160 and nearly that number of per sons wcro present. The guests gathered about the tables , and under the ca'nopy of red , white and blue hunting promptly at C o'clock and at ! o'clock they shoved their chairs bick and prepared for a stroll along the Midway , where Ihcy remained unlll Iho llghls went oul early Ihls morning The lables al Insl night's banquet were set In the form of a huge "T , " with Pres ident Wattles of the exposition at the head , vvhllo to his right and left were ranged the members of the executive commltteo and the Board of Directors , with General Manager Clarkson occupjlng the post at the foot. 4 After the excellent tdenu had been dis cussed and after-Iha.clgars had boon lighted President Watlles announced that the ban quet was an Informal affair and thai eet opcechee would not be the order of the evening. Ho declared that ho had made his last speech and was ready to hear from others. President Baum of the Commercial club was called upon to respond to the subject of whether or not the exposition had been beneficial to Omaha. Mr. Baum said tht > exposition has been the most successful one ever held In the world , both financially nnd otherwise. People have gone away from Omaha during the post summer perfectly tat- Isflcd with the city and delighted with Iho cxposlllon. They have been belter satisfied than they were with the World's Fair and have brought Omaha before the world as the best advertised city In the country. He complimented the officers upon Ihelr mm : ngement of the exposition , saying that they undertook a stupendous enterprise and car ried It through In spite of nil diverse cir cumstances H. J. Pcnfold of the Board of Governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben was i.o\t : Introduced and talked upon the Importance ' of advertising. Ho said that the knights i have always worked In the Interest of the > city and have endeavored to please thoj ' people * . He thought thai Ihe advertisement broughl aboul by their efforts has helped the city very materially. The exposition , in his Judgmenl , has been an advertisement that will prove a lasting benefit to the city. Picsldent Blnghara of the city council gave It as his opinion that' : the benefits that Omaha has received I from the exposition will not be of a temporary character , but Instead will re dound to the future interests ot not only Omaha but the entire west as well. Ho said ho had been proud of the exposition and I felt that flvcry man In thn city held the same opinion. Speaking of the educational features of the exposition Superintendent Pearso ot the city schools eald It had been a great educator and that In every Instance the manage ment had done the graceful thing In extending - tending courtesies to the children. The ex position had not only educated the children , but It had educated the grown people as well and had caused them to change their attitude toward the city of Omaha. F. W. Clark of the Interior department and a member of the Board of Management : of the government exhibit , when called upon > to respond , reviewed the work accomplished l by the United States In installing nnd maintaining Its exhibit. The details have been looked after by the most experienced I men , those familiar with all of the details , and In placing the exhibit he urged that ; they have put In the most comprehensive and instructive collection ever shown at any exposition over held. In epeaklng to the toast of "Peace In Times of War , " Judge Keynor of the dlb- trlct bench said the exposition had brought about the greatest variety of Injunction eulta and court orders yet recorded or , In fact , ever heard of. The judges expected a summer vacation , which they might upend In peace , or at least six-sevenths of them expected this , but they had been disap pointed , as suits had multiplied and there had been no pcaco In times of legal war The imposition board , ho said , had shown great energy and enterprise and enabled the visitors to the city lo participate In an exposition the like of which had never been equaled In this or any other country Commissioner Dosch of Oregon , In dis cussing the Importance of the exposition upon the iransralBslsalppl slates , said he came here for business as well as for the purpose of exploiting tbo resources ot the state which ho represents. AH a result ot the exposition ho has sent hundreds of et- Uers to the state where the "Oregon lorls from the mountain to tbo sea" and has In- tcrebted millions of dollars In the mlnea and productive lands of bin adopted state. Ho has succeeded In opening new markets for the state's fruits and grains.

Commlbaloncr Fisher of Wlsconnln ex plained lhat his st-Uo did not contribute ono dollar , but tbo citizens felt the neces sity of being represented nnd consequently contributed their money to erect a state building and put In a number of exhibits The exposition. In his opinion , has been the i greatest success that the world has ever seen i and Iho millions of piopfe who have vlsllcd it have learned lessora which they can never forget. He pkld a glowing trib ute to the management and the manner in which the great show has been financed and Its Interests guarded. The last speaker of the evening was Con- gresbinan Mercer , who was cheered to the echo 03 he arose to his feet to icspond to the toast , "Tho Importance of Federal Leg Islatlon to the Exposition. " Ho said1 "I came hero early this morning and I propose to stay until the lights are turned out to night. I want to see the last hour and the last minute of the most successful exposl- lion ever held In this or any other country. " Congressman Mercer reviewed at some length the obstacles thrown In the way of securing a congrcssloml appropriation , and then told how the prejudice had been over come. Ho told of the surprise that was displayed by the congressional delegation that visited the city a few weeks ago. nt wblcb time the members ot the delegation admitted ( hat the exposition and Its magni tude exceeded their fondest expectations. The $210,000 expended by the government , he Insisted , had been of far greater benefit to the country than the $25,000,000 spent for books , which are printed and then thrown Into garrets and haylofts. Referring to the effect upon Omaha , the congressman predicted that the exposition has marked a new era In the history of Omaha and now that It Is the best adver tised city In the world It will push forwaid with rapid strides. iio.N.vv/ ron Tim nouivrs.

All summer long their plants have been admired and sought after by the visitors , but people who Inspected them wore Informed thai they would not be for sale until the close of the exposition. Yesterday being the closing day , the ext - hlbltors commenced itelllng nnd from morn ! t ing until night they had all that they could | do booking orders for delivery todn > People ( came with money nnd $10 , $20 nnd JSO were not considered exorbitant prices for plants. { Many sold oven higher , which was true In tho'case of W.
