ENERGETIC FoR THE EXPOSITION.

Il
Surprise Herald The Transmsslssippi
/ Exposition to be held at Omaha In 1898 Is
! fast getting into shape. The Omaha people
| have subscribed 100000 to Its capital stock,
congress has donated S2OO,00O and In all
! probabilities our coming legislature viii vote
a liberal appropriation for the exhibition.
This exposition will certainly be of great
benefit to our state in general 1t will bring
people and money into our state and indi-
rtctly, we will all be benefited. We think
the exposition should receive the hearty co.
operation of all Nebraska people and we
believe 1t Will.
Fairfield News Herald The Transmissis-
sippi Exposition is already full-hcdged, sub
scriptionS to the amount or 100000 having
been already secured, and a government APP
preparation of S200 900 already made. 1t now
remains for the coming legislature of Nc
braska to make a liberal appropriation TO
keep 1t moving and to show the implicit faith
in the enterprise. number of states have
already made appropriations. 1t will GER
tainly be Of great benefit to the entire west,
but to no state more than our own. Keep
Nebraska to the front for successful expo
stion at Omaha in 1898.
Hildreth Telescopes The coming session
of the Nebraska legislature will be called
upon to make an appropriation for the
Transmississippi Exposition to be held at
Omaha in 1898, and it Is to be earnestly
hoped that 1t will be a liberal one, over
StuuuVu mas dIItduN uttH StCNltu III Huu-
scriptions to its capital stock and congress
has appropriated 5000, 900 to make n gov
ernment exhibit, and now II remains for
Nebraska to do the right thing. 1t will be
the poorest kind of economy for our legis-
lature TO refuse to make a liberal appro-
priation. We may never again have such
an opportunity to show to the world the
vast resources 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 TransmissiSsippi Exposition in
1898 a grand success in every respect.
Dawson Newsboy The TransmSsissppi
Exposition, to be held at Omaha, Neb., in
1898. bids fair to be one OF the bes5 exhibits
OF its kind ever attempted. All of the trans
mississippi states should, and probably WILL
participate in thus exposition; and as for
Nebraska nothing could be more beneficial
to her various interests than successful
consummation of the contemplated eNpCsi-
tion. The people of this state especially
such who are financially interested will make
no mistake If generous support Is given to-
ward the carrying on of this work. and no
citizen of Nebraska who Is proud of his state
Will refuse or neglect to give the undertaking
at least his moral support. The press of the
state will no doubt do its full share in keep
ing the matter before the world by giving 1t
the widest publicity possible. Sketches and
letters descriptive of the various features
of the exposition will appear in the columns
of this paper later on, and no doubt will
prove interesting reading To our patrons.
Battle Creek Republican, The transmits
siSsppi Exposition will mean much for Ne
braska as we'll as all the states in the
transmississippi region. But as it is to be
held in Omaha, 1t is particularly important
that Nebraska should lead out with as lib
eral inducements as she can afford. Other
states Will follow her example when they be-
come fully aware of the vast benefit that will
inevitably follow an exposition of sucn broad
environment. People from the east and
south will be attracted to this country with
their money, They will see the biggest and
best field for investment on earth They
will invest, and likely kick themselves for
not coming sooner and taking advantage Of
good thing. Foreign countries will be in
vited to participate in the exposition, and 1t
will be little less than Worlds fair IL the
intentions of it's promoters are successfully
carried out. Subscriptions amounting to over
100000 are already secured, and congress
has pledged not less than 100000 for a gov
ernment exhibit.
Bloomington Echo: 1t is with consider
able pleasure that the Echo notes the great
progress that is being made in the nitiatory
work of the Transmississppi Exposition, TO
be held in Omaha. Already subscriptions of
over 100000 have been secured. together
with the sum of 100000 appropriated by the
government, is a guaranty that it will be a
success. This enterprise is one in which
every citizen in the state should lend all of
their aid and assistance, for its benefits to |
Nebraska will be of untold greatness. The |
state legislature should now do the hand
some thing at it's approaching session by ap- |
propriating sufficient sum to enable the state |
to take front rank in the manner of dis |
play. Among the officers at the heads |
OF departments is Editor Rosewater of |
Ihe Bee, as manager of the department OF |
publicity, which fact is a guaranty that the |
public viii at all times be fully cognizant of |
all that Is happening during the preparatory |
work. stand up for Nebraska by working |
Tor the Omaha exposition.
Central City Nonpareil: The Nonpareil is |
a thorough believer in the benefits of adver-
using. 1t advocates IL on the part of local !
merchants, and when it comes to the broader |
scale OF the state we adhere to the same |
policy when the enterprising men of our |
western states conclude that a transmisss- |
slppl exposition would be a good thing for |
the industrial interests OF the west the |
Nonpareil thinks they have done about the |
proper thing and stands ready to put its |
shoulder to the wheel. The fact is. Ne
braska needs a good advertisement. Stories |
OF her poverty have permeated the east until |
people have begun to believe that Nebraska |
Is the very center of the great western Sa- |
hara, and nothing will so effeCtually dispel |
this idea and open the way for immigration |
and investment as a visit to the state where |
they raise so much corn there isn't time |
enough to crib it between crops BY all |
means let the state legislature encourage the |
enterprise by an appropriate appropriation,
and every loyal citizen lend his hearty CO.
operation, and Nebraska will leave behind
resume again her old position of industrial
