The Transmississippi Exposition to
be held in Omaha in 1898 promises to
be a we'll defined success. Prominent
citizens OF that enterprising city have
formed an association in it's interest
with capital OF 81 900 900. Of which
more than 100000 has already been
subscribed; the U. S. congress has APP
propriated $500, 600 in its aid. which ap-
preparation, it is believed will be largely
increased; number Of states have
signified their intention to make liberal
appropriations. and in view OF the un-
questioned benefit which would follow,
our own state should do everything
possible to aid this important move
ment. Referring to this commendablc
enterprise, Gov. Hoicomb, in his mes
sage TO the Nebraska state legislature,
SAYS. in part: "T'his exposition will
unquestionably accomplish great good
in bringing together the various inter
ests Of the greater west, the agricultural,
and mining states between the Gulf ands
Puget Sound. and serve to cement the
already friendly relations existing be-
tween the western and southern people.
1t will do for the Trans Mississippi
States what the Atlanta exposition has
done for the south, but in a larger de-
gree. Naturally Nebraska will profit
largely by having this great exposition
held on her soil. But the exposition
will also greatly benefit every state that

Roped a Buffalo.

On Thursday, says Cody City, Wyo
special Of Jan. 25, A. J. Legg, who has a
ranch near this place, had an exciting
experience with Buffalo. Mr.. Legg
was riding the range looking for stock
and while crossing clearing in little
park saw a buffalo. He at once gave
chase and succeeded in roping the
animal. His horse was ;raised COW
pony and stopped as soon as the rope
was around the animals neck. lie was
too small, however, TO check the flight Of
the buffalo, ard horse and rider were
overturned. Mr.. Legg was thrown
clear off the horse and escaped with a
few scratches and bruises. The horse
was dragged for some distance, until the
rope loosened from the pommel of the
saddle, and the buffalo escaped with the
rope still around its neck. II is be-
leved the animal is one Of the mem
bers Of the band Of buffalo which had
been confined in the Yellowstone Ma
tional park and has strayed down into
tine Big Horn basin.
