Denver Aldermen Take n Lesson In No
braska's Industrial Activity.
The attendance at the exposition yester-
day was the largest of any day since the
opening. During the afternoon, in addition
to the pupils of the High school and Omaha
View school, there was a very fair attend
ance of people who paid admission. A great
many people are taking their children to the
exposition in the afternoon when the crowd
is not so large and when there is plenty of
time to see everything. The exposition is
splendid object lesson for children as well as
grown people, and thoughtful parents are
taking advantage of it.
In the evening the crowd was very large.
Over 1000 tickets of admission were
sold in addition to the 200 that were dis
tributed to the grocery clerks during the
day. AT the most moderate calculation
there must have been 1000 people in the
building at one time. Still there was plenty
of room for all
The members of the Omaha city council
acted as an escort for the Denver council
men, who made careful investigation of
the exhibits. The visitors were very loud
in their praise of the exposition and of the
enterprise of the men who have made it

been working up the same sentiment in
Denver with some little success. They have
Manufacturers exchange in Denver, which
is modelled after the Manufacturers and Con-
sumerS association of Nebraska, and the re-

the entire evening at the exposition.
Quite good many of the visiting surgeons
have been to the exposition, and without eX-
ception speak in the highest terms of it.
Some of them even came the second time
and brought friends with them. The manu-
facturers are i'll hopes that the local physi-
clans will take pains to see that all the Wis
itors attend the exposition.

AS the exposition closes on Saturday night
there are only two more evenings left, and

of Omaha who have not seen it. Not one

planning, it is very evident that they cannot
help but notice the difference between

ance. Omaha was selected as the place for
holding the state exposition, because it con-
tanned the largest number of people, but the
