THE GREAT NORTHWEST.
Its Remarkable Development Shown by
Worlds Fair Exhibit.

It's hemRrkaDle DeVciOpmeHU SnOWh ny u
Worlds Fair Exhibit.
The Transportation building at the
Worlds Fair is the most interesting feature
of the great exposition to all persons inter-
ested in the development of the United
States. 1t contains a completes exhibit OF
4" the latest railway appliances as well as the
quaint locomotive and stage coaches OF the
past. The Northern Pacihcrailroad went
step further than other transportation com
panes when it resolved to show two elegant
cars, especially built for the purpose, con-
tanning samples of products gathered from
the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. The company was, no doubt,
prompted to make this display because the
completion of its transcOntlnental lne
made the development of the states named
possible. Had 1t not been for the enter
prise and pluck of the originators and man
ayers of the Northern Pacific railroad,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington would still be frontier territories in
habited by Indians and wild beasts, instead
of being progressive and prosperous COM
monweallhs. The products exhibited by
the seven states are handsomely arranged
and include all kinds Of grams in the straw !;
threshed grains and seeds, fruits and ber-
res; wild and cultivated grasses; ores,
woods iron and coal; precious metals and

and fish; tanning bark and tanning. acid /;
marble, building stone, potter and brick;
aerated, dried, preserved and canned
fruits; vegetables, petrifed woods, fine
mineral specimens, ETC., etc. In the season
of fresh apples, pears, plums, cherries,
peaches, pruncs, grapes, berries, melons,
root and garden vegetables will be brought
from the northwestern states, daily, for ex-
hibition. In short, the exhibit comprises u
general collection of all kinds of products
to show the diversified resources of the
seven great northwestern states traversed
by the Northern Pacific railroad.
Visitors who intend TO invest money In
the northwest are reminded by attractive
placards that the company still retains con
troll of immense tracts of land in that terri
tory, tue exact figures beng as follows
Minnesota, 100000 acres; North Dakota,
6,S50,0OO acres; Montana, 17,3000OO acres
Idaho, |, 100000 acres Oregon, 3OO, 900 acres
and Washington, $500 000acres.
The two exhibit cars are marvels OF the
car builders art. Theyare vestibued; have
large bay windows reaching from floor to
roof; are decorated with ornamental woods
from the forests along the Northern Pa
cilic, and are in themselves an exhibit
worthy of thoughtful inspection. The cars
are placed on one of the tracks in the large
annex TO the Transportation building.

A great many people come to visit the
fair who expect to do the whole thing
up in few days, or Il week at most
These invariably 90 away unsatisfied
or conclude that their business else
where is not so pressing as they at first
thought it was. After spending u
whole day in one corner of one of the
vast buildings they begin to realize the
magnitude of their task and resolve to
forcgo u minute inspection of the eXhib-
its, unless they can arrange for a
lengthy stay, and bestir themselves to
get over as much ground as possible,
contenting themselves with only a
cursory glance at objects of superior
interest while on the wing.
There is one portion of the fair, how
ever, that sticks them. That is Mid
way Plaisancc. In spite of all their
plans they find it an utter impossibility
to get through that marvellous aggrega-
ton of wonders on schedule time. Its
attractions are all too potent for the
strength of their resolutions and they
linger in spite of themselves amidst the
destinations of the Kaleidoscope thor
oughfare.
In this connection it might be well to
impart a little advice, which is con-
tanned in the words of an honest old
lady from the back districts, who,
when her filial spouse was departing
for day at the fair SAID: "Now, Hiram,
you'd better leave what money you
don't need with me-" AS the story has
| it Hiram left the bulk of his cash with
mother" and he was sorry for it when
he struck Midway Plaisance.

A. w. Edwards, of Elk Creek, Neh.,
is regarded by the Omaha Bee as the
luclsiest man that ever lost his scalp.
About thirty years ago he hired out rs

Nebraska City to Fort Laramie TO take
supplies to the fort. he was then d
youth of sixteen. When near Fort
Laramie the train separated, about
twenty wagons going to the fort and
the remainder of the train going to
other points west Young Edwards
was win those going to the fort, and
when within less than two miles of
their destination they were surprised
by the Indians. Wholly unpreparcd
for the attack, it was an easy matter
for the Indians to kill the men and
plumber the train. Edwards was using
his revolver to the best advantage when
an arrow struck his arm, and, passing
through the flesh, stuck fast in his side,
Attic same time his pony was shot and
fell upon him, and an Indian took h.,
scalp. Inconsistencies then followed
When consciousness returned he found
himself lying on the ground face dowH-
ward and the pony lying upon him. He
raised his head and looked around,
Another man was lying near him, with
the blood still flowing from his scalp

came up and rolled the pony off hirs
and, to make sure that lie was dead,
thrust an arrow into each heel. As he
remained perfectly motionless they
passed on. The firing called the at
tention of the soldiers at the fort and
they came to the rescue, but not until
every man in the caravan was stretched
upon the prairie and the wagons plum
dered.
Young Edwards was found to be the
only survivor. He was taken to the
fort, and, after a severe illness of six
months, recovered lie is living on a
farm at Elk Creek, Neb., with his wife
and five children. lie is to go to the
worlds fair to show the people of the
whole world the only living man that
has had his scalp taken by the Indians,
and for this he is to receive ten thousand
dollars and his expenses during the
fair. Heis an excellent tall1er and will
be able to tell his story well and answer
the numerous questions that will be
asked him. Ten thousand dollars
seems good price for scalp-lock, but
there are few people who would take
the risk or huvc the nerve to feign
death in such a trying ordeal even for
| ten thousand dollars.

cess of all expectations and very en-
couraging TO heavy stockholders. Dur
ing the rest of the season the expenses
of running the fair will be greatly
lightened, and with the increasing re-

GO INTO THE GALLERIES.
People Who Do Not Climb the Stairs Mis-
Many Fine Exhibits.

Many Fine Exhibits.
Up to tie present time it has APP
peared as if there was some danger that
in the immensely of space that the
sightseer has to cover at the fair, the
galleries of the big buildings would be
neglected. Since the crowds have be-
gun to arrive and the attendance has
run up TO the hundred thousand mark,
people have found out that there is
much to be seen above ground, and
have climbed the stairs in search of new
marvels with as much energy as they
have displayed in going from one build
ing to another.
Still exhibitors in the galleries are in
clincd to complain that the masses pass
them by, and ask for better means of
transportation from the floors to the
galleries. They suggest signs pointing
out the way and stating what can be
found above. The chief of the trans
portation department has promised his
exhibitors more elevators and the adj
ditional attraction of a band on wet
| afternoons.
These people who hurry througl, 4
building without diverging from the
main avenue on the floor make great
mistake In the assignment of space it
was impossible to place all the best ex-
hibits in the most prominent parts of
the buildings, and in most of the eX-
hibit halls as much can be seen By taxi
ing a side aisle or walking through the
gallery, as in the crush of visitors on
the main avenues. Especially is this
true in the Transportation building,
where the whole of the bicycle exhibit
is installed in the gallery, and vast
number of models of engineering works,
and curious examples of boats and ear
