The ground plan of the Trans Missis-
Bippi exposit'oii ducloses the intent of
the managers lod, v. t liberal space to
live ftoi-k anil agiicultural exhibits
Nearly eiijhtyacie at the north end of
the vast enclosure have been set apart
for a lacing cours. live stock stalls, a
ton-acre irrigat'n:? exhibit ia operation,
agricultural exhibits, etc. In fact agri
culture and live stock will be made
prominent features of the exposition.
The managers take the view tint the
TranE-Misaissippi region is a great farm
ing and stock-raiBi eg cauntry, with
which fact it is desirable to impress
eastern visitors.
The premium lists will be announced
in due time. The Hggiegate premiums
for live stock -xill not be less than
$30,000 nor more than S80.000, and of the
entire amount Bet aside for this purpose
25 per cent each will go for horses, cattle
and swine; 15 per cent for sheep and HI
per cent for poultry. The announce
ment that there will be special arrange,
ments for live 6tock at the exposition ia
of importar.ci to breeders, aa it requires
some time to tit their stock for exhibi
tion. Manager Bruce is anxious that
the breeders should begin to tit their
stock at once, as by beginning early they
will be more certain of having credita
ble exhibits.
There is today an unprecedented re
vival in the live stock industry through
out the west. The low price of corn,
.ubuLddnce of grain, an active demand
and favorable prices have combined to
give the live stock industry a veritable
boom.
Perhaps the most striking proof of
the wealth and resources of the coun
tiy west of the Mississippi is afforded
by the statistics of live stock. The
number of horses and mules in tho
states and territories west of the Mis
sissippi is computed to be 8,458,309, and
their value is estimated at ?462,G39,G21.
The numbsr of cattle is computed at
39,970,616, and their ualue is estimated
to be be $461,093, 20G. The number of
sheep and bogs is estimated at 50,311,
500, and their value at $108,158,075. In
other words, the aggregate value of the
live stock west of the juissisippi,
round numbers, is 81,091,890, 962.
BEHIND THE PALMS.
in
Behind the palms when the violins play soft
and low
And the chaperones sit dozing in a sleepy
row,
When the perfume of crushed roses fills the
air,
Behind the palms we seek a respite from the
glare
And whkper silly nothings in each other's
ears,
And make our future roseate plans for the
coming years,
Behind the palms.
Behind the palms we have a little heaven of acct. Meeting Benevolent and Prospec

Where no hoofed devil dare intrude, upon

Sts Cupid, reigning king and all the world's
a dream
Of bias, all things are filled with glamour
and gleam
For one sweet hour, while others dance and
whirl outside
To the ""Mg music flowing like a
passion tide
Behind the palms.

But every dream must have its rude awak-
ening
And when our bliss has come to be almost
too sweet a thing
A cat-like tread steak near and ere we un

hand
She storms and sputters and we quickly tear
apart
Wff we'd been sitting rather dose, just hear

We have purchased (because it is
just the thing we have needed) the
Columbian Cyclopedia Library, con-
slstlng of the Columbian encyclopedia,
which is also an unabridged dictionary
thirty-two volumes of convenient size
neatly bound, four volumes of thean
nual cyclopedic review, four volumes ol
current hlstoryfor 1S96, one Columbian
atlas and the neat convenient revolving
oak cas ewith glass doors. From the
evidence obtained we find that some
part of this work is placed In the
best private and public library In this
country an dabroad. for the reason
that they cover a field relative to the
past, present and future progress
and achievements of the human race
not attempted by others. The plan
is original, and the work throughout
Is carefully and ably written.
IMP
Current history contains 22 pages,
is issued two months after the close
of each quarter, this length of time
being taken to reduce all information
received to be an absolutely reliable
and authentic basis. If these are
kept on file, this magazine will prove
a permanent and Invaluable record of
all Important movements In political,
social religious, literary, educational
scientific and Industrial affairs.
The magazine will be indlspensible
to all people who have encyclopedias,
as it will be needed to keep these
works up to date. To those who do
not own encyclopedias It wHl be doubly
valuable as their source of information
is more limited. About March of
each vear the four volumes of current
history are bound Into one volume,
known as the Annual Cyclopedic Re
view. There are now four of these
bound volumes covering yearsl892-3-4
and 5. The work has for endorsers
and subscribers !n this city and state
such people as Mr. Gere, edltor-lnchlef
of the Lincoln State Journal., Hon.
Joe Hartley, state treasurer. Hon. W.
J. Bryan. Mr. Miller, editor of the
Northwestern Journal of Education.

Every reading person has felt the
need of brief summaries of current

may furnish data sufficient, but the
labor of collecting and digesting it ia
