Gathering of Prominent Busiuo IS and
Professional Men.

Omaha, Nov. 24.-One of the most
representative bodies that Omaha has
ever had the honor to entertain
will be the trans-Mississippi congress,
which will convene at Creighton hall
tomorrow morning. The attendance of
many of the most prominent business
and professional men in the west is
assured. The convention will be COM
posed entirely of men whose presence
will be an honor to the city.

that fully 500 men of the cream of the
western business and professional cir
cles will sit in the convention.
The local committee for the reception

nothing lacking that might contribute
to make their sojourn in the city a
very pleasant one.
