appropriation for the TransmssisSippi EN-
position a the hands Of the Nebraska lcgts-
latuIe, There are numerous other ways in
Which they can show their regard for econ

be in it up to her ears. We have the best
county in the state and IL behooves our pco-

Minden Gazette; Officers have been chosen
for the Transmissssipp Exposition and the
active work Of preparation will begin at
once. 1t should be made an object lesson
Of the resources and enterprise OF the great
west, and as such assist in the further de
volopment of the greatest and best spot of
ground on earth The south doesn't begin
to compare with the west, and this eXposi-
tion should demonstrate the fact, and it will
if all will take hold with such a purpose
in view. The only speculation in 1t should
be simply that which follows the settling
up and development of a new country by
legitimate increase of business.
Hastings Tribune: 1t is very important
that everybody in. Nebraska should take
a great interest in the Transmssissppi EX
position, which will be held in Omaha in
1898, It's going to be a big thing for Ne
braska. In fact it will be the best thing
Nebraska ever had or will have for many
years. The committee has already secured
subscriptions amounting to over $500 600 to
it's capital stock, and congress has pledged
not less than $2OO,OOO for a government ex-
hibit. Now, the thing for the Nebraska
legislature to do is to make a like pledge
and the exposition will be a grand and
glorious success, of which all Nebraska will
feel proud
