! spOnsible position of manager of the de-

st. Paul Republican, The management of
the Transmississippi Exposition announces
that over $780, 900 in subscriptions to capital
stock has been raised from private sources
which, together with the 5000 900 pledged by
congress for government exhibit, makes
a very respectable financial beginning for
the big show of 80. II Will not be to Ne
braska's interest TO act niggardly in this
matter. which. means so much to her in the
advertising OF her resources and 1t will de-
volyo upon the coming Legislature to make
a liberal appropriation in order that the
state may be properly represented

and International Exposition to be held in
Omaha Juns to November of 1898 is now
under way for successful end. Over $780,
coo has been subscribed by Omaha people

Eresslonal appropriation of 5000, 900 available.
There is no question of the benefits of this
international exhibition. and the projectors
are entitled to due credit. Nebraska will
take pride in joining with her sister states
in making an exhibit that will at ones prove
beyond the question Of doubt her resources
one of the best states in the union. Sue
cess to the exposition Is hoped for and is al
ready assured.
Osceola Democrat: The Transmissssippi
Exposition department of publicity and
promotion is already at work and from re
ports received the indications are that there
will not be a single state west of the Mis-
souri, river that will not make the necessary
provisions to take part In the great Nebraska
enterprise. 1t Is the duty of the department
referred to to see that every state Is in line
with the necessary exhibits and representa-
ton. One manner in which the people of
this state can assist in fur herring the success
of this great affair is by corresponding with
their friends and sending out such advertis-
ing matter as may be prepared. Let all put
a shoulder to the wheel.
Blair Courier Since the first whisperings
OF Transmissiasipp Exposition, to be held
at Omaha, came to our ears, have been
heartily in favor OF the project, and new
when it Is no longer a project. but as |
surel fact, with 100000 subscribed by the !
citizens Of Omaha ana 5000 0j0 pledged by con
gross, with to call the attention of the |
legislators from this county to the benefits |
ACQUIRING to the state from such an exposition |
end the necessity of appropriation from |
the state legislature. Nebraska stands with |
noble mien in the center of the richest coun-
try in the world, and a successful exposition |
in 1898 will allow her radiance to shine |
grandly out over her sister states and to |
command the attention of the entire world.
