EASTERN AD MEN :
TO VISIT NEBRASKA)
Advertising Experts Will Be Shown
Over State as Guests of Pub
lishers' Bureau.
TO ARRIVE IN OMAHA JUNE 5
Nebraska is to be advertised In a
big way and on a plan absolutely !
new In the United States, The pub
lisher, of sixteen leading new spapers '
and farm pulblcatlona of Nebraska j
are footing the bill which amounts
to something over 8,000. During
the first week In Juno twenty-five, j
nf the most eminent advertising ex-I
perta of New York City, I'hllu
delphla and Jtoston will l,e brought ,
to Nebraska and taken or a trip over j
the state in a special train for the
purpose of showing them first-hand
tho prosperity of Nebraska, Its won- j
derful resources and its tremendous j
purchasing power.
The guests will leave New York City
Aaturday morning, June 3, and will artlv
In Omaha Monday morning, Jufie B. Mon
day will be spent In Omaha, and Monday
evening will be devoted to the Ak-8r-Hcn
Inlltiiitloii. Tuesday morning the
party will loavo Omaha in a special train
for a four days' trip over the state.
Among the cities to be visited are Fre
mont, Norfolk, Columbus, Grand Island,
Kearney, Hustings and Lincoln.
Oreateat Trip of Kind.
The publications comprising Hie Ne
braska Publishers' Huicau are as follows:
The Omaha Hce and Twentietli Century
Farmer, the Nebraska Farm Journal, the
Lincoln I'ally Star, tha Norfolk Dally
News, the l)euts;h Omaha Tribune, the
Omaha Jlospodar, tho IlnBtlnga Tribune,
tha Fremont Tribune, the Grand Island
Independent, tha Kearney Times, the Ne
braska City News, the Beatrice Express
and the Columbus Telegram. Never bo
fore have the publishers of any state
joined together in an advertising plan
of such magnitude as this, and announce
ment of the Nebraska trip haa already
created a tremendous Impression In ad
vertising and manufacturing circles In
Nov York City, Hoston and Philadelphia,
i;nerls In Their Line.
The advcrtliilng experts who are com-
ing to Nebraska are the hlahest paid
advertising men In tho world. Collectively
thejr place advertising throughout Amer
ica every year amounting to many mil
lions of dollars and they are enthusiastic
over this trip because they realise It will
give them an opportunity suncli as has
never before been presented to them by
any state to get first hand Information
regarding merchandising conditions and
the general prosperity of the middle west,
ao vital to' them In their line of business.
There Is no thought o r.tha part of the
Nebraska publlshere of placing these ad
vertising experts In any way under obli
gations, to. tho .Nebraska, publics t Inns.
Tills is obvious when It Is considered that
many of tho newspapers and farm paperu
composing the Nebraska Publishers' bu
reau ere bitter competitors In their vari
ous fields. One 0 the rules already laid
down for the trip la that no publisher
shall In any way show any sort of Iltcra
ture on this trip concerning his own pub
lication. TJio whole Idea is to educate the
easterners as to tho state of Nebraska,
Travel on "Hpoelai."
The visitors will be broug-ht to the
state In all-steel Pullmans and the train
on which they will ride throuah Nebraska
wtl be an nl-steel special train of the
very highest type of railroad equipment.
The commercial clubs at the various
towns where the trains will stop are
expected to co-operate In making It as
easy as possible for the visitor to Ret a
maximum fund of information regarding
the trade and agricultural conditions. The
New York Times has been Invited by the
Nebraska Publishers' bureau to send a
representative as a guest of the publish
ers to "cover" the atory of the trip from
daytc day for his newspaper. The ex
penses of tho party will all b paid by the
Nebraska Publishers' bureau from tha
moment the Biictds leave their homes In
the east until they ortttrn.
Nebraska publishers feel that the re
sources and wealth of Nebraska are far
too little appreciated tn the east and
have adopted this dramatic and expensive
method to bring the prosperity and merchandising-
possibilities of Nebraska, to
the attention it the bk men In tho
advertising world.

ness thut the court lias been appealed
to dcrino rights and sottlo a miners'
dispute which threatened to result In
bloodshed, Tho area, however, is
limited to the Omaha (iun club's
grounds north o tho street railway
bridge on the Iowa side of the river,
' and the riches yielded by the sand are
tho millions of blrdshot, fired In the
air by club members when shooting
at, bluerocks.
Judge Capell of the riluffa superior
court was emmst-d nearly all day yes
terday settling a hitter dli-putu over min

men had been doing comfortably well
mining- together, tiililntt out In one day,
according to the testimony, as much as
.104 pounds of shot and easily getting out
an average of 123 pounds apiece every
day they norked.

worked nicely and that lie Ti.td furnished
six bushels of potatoes to be planted
In a portion of tho around not used
