HOT SPRINGS TO BE In IT
snlves i" Exhibit at the Trans-
Mississippi Exposition.

A Meeting ut Citizens Monday Night Re
snlves to Exhibit at the Trans
mississippi Exposition.
At public meeting of the citizens of
Hot Springs, called ut the city hall
on Monday evening of this week to
consider the matter of representation
at the Trans Mississippi exposition at
Omaha next year, Thos. H. Wells, vice
president for South Dakota, was chosen
chairman and j. \. Stanley, secretary
j. p. Hymer exposition commission
err for the Black Hills, was present and
made an address upon the grand possi-
bilities and probabilities of the expo
sition. He had splendid plat of the
grounds and fully explained the loca-
tion of the various buildings and con-
templated exhibit. Lawrence county
will have space in the mining building,
taking about 5000 square feet. This
space costs one dollar a square foot of
floor space The location of the min
ing building is most central and will
probably be occupied only by Colo
RADIO, Montana and the Black Hills
the other mineral states having their
own buildings exclusively. Mr.. Hy-
mer has obtained permission to exhibit
any of the resources of the Black Hills
in the mining building, though this is
a special concession. Mr.. Hymer's
idea was for the Black Hills cities and
counties to secure space altogether and
make such an exhibit of the varied re-
sources as would truthfully and at
tractively show the "little kingdom"
that we have. While the space will be
assigned to the Hills cities collectively,
each will have it's separate space to
use as it may elect paying for the
space it uses and exhibiting as it
pleases.
S. E. Wilson, G. NJ. Cleveland, H. d.
Clark and others expressed their favor
of the plan, and finally upon motion of
Mr.. Wilson, it was resolved to be the
sense of the meeting that Hot Springs
unite with the other Black Hills cities
and counties in making an exhibit in
the mining building of the TRANSMITS
sissippi exposition at Omaha in 1898.
On motion of c. NJ. Cleveland, the
chairman, Mr.. Wells, was authorized
to appoint a committee of four, of
which he was to be member, to take
entire charge of the matter of an eNhi
bition of Hot Springs attractions at
the exposition, the committee to have
power to increase it's membership as it
might see fit. The chairman has since
appointed Adelia Hale Connor, John
A. Stanley, z. S. Ames, II. d. Clark.
The first meeting of this committee
is called to meet at the city hall, Sat-
urday, July Sd at 8 o'clock. for the pur-
pose of etfecting permanent organic
alton.
\ vote of thanks was then extended
to MIR. Hymer for the interest he has
manifested in Hot Springs being rep
resented, after which the meeting ad-
journed.
We believe Hot Springs has never
had better opportunity to advertise
its attractions as health and pleasure
resort than it will have at the Omaha
exposition. 1t will be but nights
ride by rail and no doubt frequent en-
cursions will be made to the Hills
from Omaha during the exposition.
which lasts from June 1st to Nov. LIST.
Hot Springs should set about it active
ly to raise sufficient sum to secure
space and make whatever general en-
hibit the city desires to make, and then
the various enterprises and interests
of the city and vicinity can make til cir
own display and supply their own ad-
vertising matter
Let every one talk it up and help
along matter that is certainly i'm
portant to every taxpayer and every
resident of Hot Springs.
We should be much pleased to pub.
lish suggestions regarding Il Hot
Springs exhibit
