Part OF the Nebraska Com mission
Holds n Consultation.
Four members Of the Nebraska Exposition
commissioners. appointed by Governor Hol-
comb under the law providing for an ap-
preparation Of 500. 900. and a commission Of
six members to expend the money, met
at the Paxton hotel yesterday afternoon to
informally discuss the business for which
they we're appointed. The members present
we're Judge Neville. vice president for the
exposition. and commissioner from the Sixth
district; w. NJ. Dutton Of the Fifth district;
c. d. Casper OF the Fourth district and Mar
tin Durham Of the Second district. The
other two members, II. NJ. Boydson OF the
First district. and W. A. Poynter OF the
Third district we're expected. but did not
materialize.
The four members discussed their functions
and duties. but took no action. The law
providing for their appointment does not
take effect until July 9, and no official action
can be taken until that time. A number
OF ideas were advanced and discussed in a
cursory manner. but nothing was decided on
further than TO hold another meeting June
8. when an effort will be made TO have all
the members present and agree upon the
organization of the commission. and also
agree. as fer as possible. on the general
outline Of the work OF the commission in
order to avoid delay.
The members present were agreed upon
one thing, however. and that was that they
would work in harmony with the exposition
management to the utmost extent allowable
under the law creating the commission, and
would consult with the executive commit
tee as soon as the members of the commits
sion acquire some knowledge Of their duties.

AGRICULTURAL BOARD MEETING.
Plan for the State Fair and the
ExpOsitiOn

exposition
The Douglas county agricultural board
held a meeting in the Board OF Trade build
ing yesterday afternoon, with a very full
attendance Of the members.
After completing the routine business, the
subject of exhibition space in the AgricuI-
tural building at the State fair was dis
cussed. The secretary was authorized to
secure fully half of the wall space OF the
building. making about 500 feet, or its equiv
aIent. If partition walls are allotted. This
will greatly increase the display over that
of last year, which vas equal to any four
or five counties exhibiting in the build
ing.
Douglas county does not get a dollar OF
the state premium money awarded for county
exhibits, but the agricultural society is
determined to stand by the State fair 50
long as it is held in the county.
One main feature the society now has in
view is the collection of exhibits for the
Transmississippi Exposition. A large part
Of the display made at the State fair by
Douglas county will be stored after the fair
TO go into the exposition at it's opening.
The subject of voting bonds for the expo
sition was informally discussed by the
members present. II is expected that the
agricultural society will exert a strong in
iuence when this question is presented, as
the society, in membership and officers. is
now more nearly composed Of farmers than
at any former time in its history.
The next meeting VIII be in June, and
will be called by the president.
