sippi Exposition should be given liberal
appropriation by the legislature. Money put
into an enterprise of this kind Is not thrown
away, but Will in time bring a big return

/ scrtpttons to it's capital stock, and Il. Rose
water manager OF the department Of pub
! ltcity, states that congress has pledged not
! less than 100000. No doubt this will be a

this prove true should the new system OF

Plainview Gazette; The Transmissssippi
Exposition in Omaha in 1898 promises to
be fair on a truly magnificent scale. Sub
scripticns have been secured for its capital
stock amounting to over $4OO,000 Congress
has appropriated 5000, 900 for a government
, exhibit, and there is some prospect Of this
amount being increased. The fair will be
one of the best possible advertisements of
| the resources of the west, and the states
| interested Will doubtless take pains to make
creditable displays. Nebraska should be sec
| ond to no state in the list, and the legisla-
| ture, as well as individuals. should extend
| the greatest possible encouragement to the
| enterprise.

Brownell Mascot: Don't forget the
| Transmississippi and International Exposi-
| ton to be held in Omaha from June to No
| vember, 1898. The date is a good ways
| in the future, to be sure, but there is a
| whole lot to do in getting ready to aCcommo-
| date and entertain the vast number Of people

| tion. The exposition association has already
secured subscriptions amounting to $4OO 600.

Pierce County Leader: The Transmissis
sippi Exposition is now the leading topic for
discussion among Nebraskans, and 1t should
be, for the 1898 exhibition will be a great
advertisement for Nebraska. Over $i00 900
have already been subscribed, and congress
has pledged not less than 100000 for gov
ernment exhibit. Concerted action on the
part of citizens of Nebraska will advance the
interests of the enterprise to high degree,
and by booming this project properly Ne
braska will acquire a worldwide reputation
for thrift and industry unparalleled in Amer
lean history. stand up and work for the
exposition and by so doing you stand up
for the garden spot of the universe-Ne-
braska.
Fremont Herald: Long strides are being
made by the officers in charge toward the
ultimate success of the 1898 Transm!ssls-
sippi Exposition. which is to be held at
Omaha. This enterprise will not alone prove
NJ benefit IN NabroGlyn a - tr,opnlia btt
to the state and district at large. 1t will
attract national attention to our resources.
and every Indication is that it will be the
Introducing of a reign OF genuine prosperity,
which will be duly apprecia ted. We
pleased to observe Editors Hitchcock and
Rosewater working hand-in-hand in this
cause, each being chairman of responsible
committees, and will agree that any one
who shirlSs his duty toward this 1898 fair is
not worthy of Nebraska citizenship. Good
progress is reported from headquarters.
Hildreth Telescope: The coming session
of the Nebraska legislature will be called
upon to make an appropriation for the
rransmississipp Exposition to be held at
Omaha in 1898, and it is to be earnestly
hoped that it win be liberal one Over
100000 has already been secured in sub
scrptions to its capital stock and congress
has appropriated 5000, 600 to make a govern
ment exhibit, and now it remains for Ne
braska to do The right thing. 1t will be the
poorest kind of economy for our legislature
30 refuse to make a liberal appropriation
We may never again have such an Oppor-
tunity to show to the world the vast re
sources of our great commonwealth. Every
Nebraskan who loves his state and takes
pride in her development will take off his
coat and do everything In his power to make
the Transmlssssippi Exposition in 1898
grand success in every respect.
Crete Vidette: The exposition of 1898
promises to be to Omaha and Nebraska what |
the Columbian Exposition was to Chicago
and Illinois. Located in the center OF the
greatest corn belt in the world, and upon |
the edge of what was once termed the Amer /
lean desert. thousands of people in the eGst |
Crn states will take advantage of the low |
rates and visit our state next year. If prop |
erly advertised in the south more people |
from that section will visit Nebraska next |
year tnan have ever been upon her fertile |
soil. The enterDrisng citizens of Omaha |
have already contributed 100000 to its cap
ital stock ana congress has pledged not less
than $500 900 more. The various leglsla-
lures this winter will make liberal appro-
praiOns and an exhibit Of western enter
prise will be given commensurate with our
great resources This IS a national enter
prise at our very door and should enlist the
hearty cooperation OF every citizen Of the
commonwealth. Let no effort be spared to
make the TransTiszissigpl Exposition grand
success
