despite the C shifting OF public

In which he had lived and died.

knee deep in the cellar. The first
search was rewarded only with the
discovery OF 400 bottles OF Bordeaux

however. revealed q holo In the cell

By Joint resolution OF the legislature OF

rrau..M,.s,..ippi Exposition.

49,
During the summer and autumn OF 1888
Nebraska will be visited by thousands ana
hundreds of thousands Of citizens Of other
states. The trans-Mlssissippi exposition
will be held from June until November Al
Omaha and will undoubtedly attract PEG
Die In great number from every section
of the country. Various national organ
~Izatlons are arranging to hold their annual
sesslons at the Nebraska metropolis In
1898 so az TO avail themselves OF an oppor-
tunity OF visiting the exposition while at
tending their meetings. feel sa1e pre-
dieting that the trans-Misslssipp EXPOSE
ton at Omaha will be the greatest EXPOSE
ton OF the products OF the great west ever
held.
This project had Is origin more than a
year ago at the Omaha session or tho
trans Mississippi congress. Prominent men
OF that city promptly formed an associa.
ton with a capital stock OF 1000, 900. or
which more than $500. 900 has been SUBJ
scril,ed. The first assessment upon this
stock has been paid and the affairs AT the
association are In good financial condi-
ton. The organizers and promoters are
men Of business ability, integrity and good
financial standing; the organisation IL
strong and the capital adequate. Congress
recognized the Importance OF the EXPOSE
ton by an approprlat ton OF 100000 which
II Is expected Will be Increased to half a
million. The legislature of our sister state
OF Iowa has made a preliminary appro.
priation OF $4,000. and. the Iowa friends
of the enterprise predict an additional APP
preparation of SOS, 900 at the next session.
The legislature Of Utah n Louisiana
have passed resolutions pledging the sup
port OF their states to the. exposition and
liberal appropriations are expected from
all the states and territories In the trans
Mississippi country.
This exposition will unquestlonably ac-
complIsh great good in bringing together
the varied interests Of the west and serve
to cement the already friendly relations
existing between the western people. 1t
will do for the west what the Atlanta
exposition has done for the south. but In
a larger degree. Naturally Nebraska will
profit largely by having this great expo-
sitlon held on her soil. Interested visitors
will learn Of the great opportunities our
state offers for investment and immlgra-
ton.
You will be called upon by the manage
ment Of the trans-Mississippi association
to make an appropriation to aid the enter
prise, and I trust that the financial as
~sistance given by you will be liberal and
sufiient, so that our sister states and ter
ritories west Of the Mississippi may DO
thereby encouraged to lend their substan-
tial aid

Labor Bureau.

The bureau of labor and Industrial sta
tistics has been greatly handicapped by
the meagre appropriations made by the
last legislature. This bureau should be
maintained and suitable appropriations
made In order to carry on the work In
tended by Its creation. The gathering sta
tistics and information OF the condition Of
the varied forms Of labor and OF th>
value OF Its products Is AN important mat
tor n of great benefit to the people.
The extension of the work of this bureau
might very properly be made so that It
would become a means OF communication
between employers and those desiring en-
ployment. giving II the features OF an en-
ployment bureau In addition to those II
now possesses. with suitable provisions
and restrictions for tho prevention Of I'M
necessary burdens by those who avail
themselves OF tho opportunities thus af-
forded.
II is hardly to be expected that the work
OF the bureau can be brought to q higher
state OF usefulness unless provisions are
made for travelling expenses In visiting
many portions of the state for the pur.
pose Of securing needful information and
data. This phase OF the work cannot be
carried on satisfactorily by means OF COM
munication through the malls.
The time. also. seems to be ripe for the
making Of some suitable provisions for
the gathering II dissemination OF infor-
nation looking to the securing OF desirable
immigration to assist In further develop
Ing the many and varied resources OF
the state. IL II meets the views OF the
legislature to take action for the en-
couragement OF immigration to the state,

ixing the labor bureau. An appropriation
OF a few thousand dollars a year. II

A short time ago an organization was
perfected by n large lumber OF active and
energetic citizens OF the state under the
name OF the Nebraska club. the object OF

ton purposes IL deemed advisable. and
You should determine II would better

that heretofore suggested. doubt not
that this organization could very safely
be entrusted with such expenditures, and
that the same would be made to the very
best advantage. accomplishing as much
as could be expected through any other
course. The organization Is already per-
fected and In active operation n IL com

devoted to the upbuilding Of the stat, and
