OMAHA, Nov. 24.-One of the most
representative bodies that Omaha has
ever had the honor to entertain will be
the trausmississippi congress, which Will
convene at Craig hton hall tomorrow
morning, The attendance of many OF
the most prominent business and profess
sionai men in the west is assured and the
convention Will be com posed entirely Of
men whose presence will be an hon or to
the city. Many OF them are men whose
names are most prominently copnscttd
with The subjects that they will discuss
at the convention, and they will afford
the benefit of much valua BILE information
that will be profitable not only to the
members OF the convention but to the
general public as veil.
Just how many delegates will be
present when President Cannon calls the
convention to order Monday is largely
matter of specul tion. The call prov
ides for the appointment of delegates by
the governors of states, the Mayors of
Various cities, the al horties of each
ty and by business and conn ercial
organizations. AS the territory from
which this representation is drawn en-
braces nearly all cue states west OF the
Mississippi river, it is iiaicult to esti-
mate the number of de legates who will be
sufficiently interested in the convention
to come to Omaha. Estimate vary all
the way from 800 to 1910, but it is ex-
pectrd that fully 500 men of the cream Of
western business and professional CIRCLES
will sit in the convention.
Several of the larger cities have
inform ed the local com mmitteI Of the
names of their delegates. st. Joseph will
send a delegation which will include
some Of the heaviest financial and COM
mercial men in ths city. Denver will
al send a very notable delegation. A
large number of delegates arrived today
ann the remainder will come in to NOR
row. IL is expected that with very few
exceptions all the deleg atrs will attend
the session of the convention. The local

that might contribute to make tneir So
lourn in the city very pleasant one.
the business O. the convention will nat
urally have the right OF way, but some
form of entertainment has been provided
for each evening and number of fea-
lures are in reserve to occupy any of the
daylight hours that may chance to hang
heavily on the hands of the delegates. 1t
is not expected that any busnt IS will be
transacted on Thanks living day and the
convention will probably see the football
game in a body. By appointing special
receipt on com mlttee for each day and en-
listing the services Of nearly all the lead
ing men of the city in this capacity it is
expected that no delegate will be over
looked. Many delegates will be accom-
panied by their wives and rece ption
