of the labor which has brought about the
enormous success Of our great west. On the
first day of June, 1898, at Omaha TINS OK
position will open It's doors to all the people
of this country and to all nations OF the
globe.
II is In the interest Of the whole land to
direct general attention to the gigantic WORK,
and TO give IT publicity until the exposition
Is opened. The exposition Is destined 10
bring before the public the great part OF our
nations work which Is done by the trans
mississippi country and what the latter mas
already accomplished Twenty states ana
four territories, an area covering 2,oOO,OVo
square miles, inhabited by 100000 people
want to show their progress in the manufac'
turing industry and their Importance in re-
gard to agriculture, stock-raising and the
mining industry. The Transmississippi Ex-
position will show what progress our great
west has made in the last quarter OF a cen
fury az a result Of the hard work OF mllilons
of people. 1t is safe to predict that TINS
exposition will show to tens OF thousands oil
Industrious citizens, who are now working at
the wrong places and without success, the
right way to a desirable home. 1t Will not
only be a show but an enterprise which VIII
carry with Il results In favor OF mllllohs Oh
good and diligent citizens. For this reason
the weltblatt will support this enterprise
with heart and soul.
Kansas CITY Presse: Omaha, which has
planned the Transmississippi and inter-
national Exposition, ought to be strongly sup
ported in this enterprise by Kansas CITY;
Until now the west has always been decried
as the wild west and Buffalo Bits Wild
West Show was not the appropriate thing
to show in it's true light the progress which
the west has made within the last ten years.
To be sure, long ago prominent and far
seeing men recognized the prospects of the
west, and nothing points out better the
confidence in the facilities which the west
affords to labor and capital than the well
known: GO west, young man" In order to
show to the world the wonderful develop
ment of the west in the short period OF
a few decades, an exposition like the one
which is in preparation at Omaha, is OF
greatest Importance to every city in the
west. 1t is a point of honor for Kansas
City and at the same time to its own in
terest to stand by this enterprise loyalty
side by side with its sister city, Omaha,
and 10 help carry 1t to a glorious completion.
We shall come back to this theme repeat
eddy to arouse the attention and the in
terest Of the public for the exposition in
Omaha.
Cleveland OJ Evangelische Kirchen-Zei-
tung: Our attention is called to an eX-
position which will be held next year in
the western part of this country. The Trans
mississippi Commercial congress-, which was
held in Omaha in 1895 and at which twenty
four states and territories were represented
by delegates, unanimously resolved that in
the year 1898 a Transmississippi Ex-
position should be held at the city of Omaha.
The exposition, which will open June 1
and close November ], Is intended to afford
the states west OF the Mississippi an OPP
portunity to show their natural resources,
their production and the progress of civil
ization in the far west in general. 1t is to
be expected, however, that an exposition of
this kind will prove not only of great value
to the transmississippi states, but for the
whole country: yes, even to all the people
in the old world who are DESTROYS of estab-
fishing a new home for themselves in Amer
ica's west. The proposed exposition will
undoubtedly help to bring about a closer
connection between east and west, which
would certainly prove beneficial also to all
the religious denominations looking out for
the vast field of labor in the west.
