Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1898-05-20

there in sufficient evidence to warrant
a meritorious exhibition for those who
desire the amusement feature as we'll
as that of art, education, industrial,
etc. The foreign village feature will
be in evidence, peopled by natives of
the countries represented. There will
be theaters of foreign nations and me-
chanical novelties in great variety.
Most of the states comprising the
Trans Mississippi region are particl-
pating in this great exposition, and
some of the state buildings are sur
prisingly beautiful. Besides their sep
arate buildings they are placing their
exhibitions in the various appropriate
buildings in space set apart for them,
and ever this early some surprising
~ attractive exhibits are in place.
Hundreds of busy men are en-
ployed all about the buildings and
grounds in providing along the work,
preparatory to the opening on June
1st, when it is confidently expected
they will have one of the largest
crowds of the whole summer. The
railroads have made a one fare rate for
this occasion, the tickets being good
! for one week.
One cannot but be surprised at the
grandeur of this exposition and the
work that has been accomplished in so
short a time is simply marvellous.
What but a few months ago was a corn
field is now one of the most fascinat-
ing places imaginable and those who
failed to see the great Worlds Fair
should not miss this opportun-
ity of seeing its o~ffspring-its like
ness in many ways. And those
who we're SO fortunate as to
visit the great "Dream City" at Chica-
go, should not fail to go to Omaha
sometime between June LIST and No
vember 1st and have that beautiful
"dream" of '93 fully vi7ified and more
firmly impressed on their memory than
ever. Such. I,positions are truly the
dreams of an age, and one seldom in a
life time may hope to witness their
like.
SOME OBSERVATIONS.
The New Mercer of Omaha is where
A. j. Andrews, who was day clerk at
the Evans last summer, is now serving
in the same capacity-and he is the
same accommodating gentleman that
he always was. The Mercer is a mod
erately priced hotel and up to-date in
service "a good place to stop.
While at Omaha we saw Henry Pike
at his job printing establishment-tbe
Western Printing company. He seems
to be getting along nicely and is busy
turning out lots of fine printing. He
has a good location.
Mrs. Boomer and children are nicely
located in u flat out near the exposition
grounds and have a number of fur
nished rooms to let. A..restaurant will
be located in the same block.
We just met Fred Gillespie for a
moment, but did not learn what he
is doing.
Owing to the brevity of our visit we
did not meet many other Hot Springs
people who have gone to Omaha.
1t only takes ten minutes to go from
the city down to the grounds by cleo
trio cars.
A portion of the exposition grounds
were sodded, while a part was sown to
blue grass on April 18th. This grass
ready been moved once. We could
scarcely believe this to be true. but the
truth was convincing. This is evidence
that with proper soil and seed, and
done in the proper manner, one can
have a fine lawn within a month.
Vegetation in the eastern portion of
Nebraska is we'll advanced and the
frequent rains have placed crops be-
You'd the harm of drouth. Everything
looks thrifty and promising.
Everyone who has had occasion to

, us hungry for another meal to think
of what good things he always dishes
up. and the name and quickness OF
service is always a delight. One is no

waited upon-no waiting on his part

a more gratifying and satisfying meal
can be partaken of-at any OF Rome
