MAIZE PROPAGANDA MEETING
Projected Display of Corn md Its
Products ut the Exposition
Under Consideration.

The Maize Propaganda held a meeting
yesterday afternoon at the Commercial club
presided over by Captain II. r.. Palmer. The
chief object of the meeting was to discuss
and arrange an exhibit of corn and corn
products to be established at the exposition.
The matter of location for the exhibit was
discussed and it was not decided where 1t
will be located, the members of the propa-
ganda thinking that the best step was to
have Secretary UT correspond with all
manufacturers of corn products and ascer-
tain how much of an exhibit can be held be-
fore the matter of location is
4, Mr.. UT will put himself in correspond
ence with all manufacturers of corn food
products, glucose factories, factories which
utilize cornstalks for various purposes and
in fact all industries which are dependent
upon corn. No exhibit of the sort was ever
made before on as broad n basis as the
proposed one at the Transmississippi and it
will be something far different from any
thing of the sort ever attempted.
1t has been suggested that the exhibit DO
installed in the Nebraska building, in the
Agriculture building and in the Douglas
county building, but it would be more sat
i~sfactory to persons Interested in corn II
the exhibit could be placed in e building
erected especially for that purpose, and the
propaganda will spare no effort to secure
funds to erect a building of its OWL.

BUTTE. Mont, June 23.-(Special. IA
story of a claim that has caused a sensation
here comes from the main range above the
Moose Greek mining district. The name OF
the claim Is the Senate. 1t was first located
in 1870, when very little work was done on
it. A few weeks ago it was relocated, and
much development work has been done on
various parts of the claim. Pieces of the
ore from the lead have been exhibited here
which assay % per cent copper, and it is
declared that the lead is seventy feet wide.
The lead can be traced for nearly three miles
by groupings that project in places several
feet above the surface. 1t is in a high
~"swayback" ridge about eight miles south
of Moose lake. Claims have been staked
along the ridge for several miles. 1t Is a
rugged, mountainous country, very difficult
of access. Much difficulty will be ek-
perienced in getting the ore out to a point
for shipment.

Mrs. Morrisey, so 1t is said, fired the first

HAWKEYES CONE IN DROVES
Iowa People Swarm About the Depots
During the Morning.
MANY SPECIALS LOADED WITH VISITORS
Visitors from the shores of the Mis-
sissiDpI and All the Way
Along "a the Missouri's
Muddy Banks.

The Iowa day crowds began to arrive
Wednesday and all day yesterday tho street
cars were loaded with Iowans bound for
the exposition. The crowds are not merely
local either. The Omaha line brought in a
special train carrying the Dubuque Choral
club and a large party of eastern Iowa
people. All the regular trains were crowded
with people from all parts OF Iowa and the
specials were the heaviest trains that have
come into Omaha since the exposition
opened. Throughout the morning the crowds
kept the stairways leading to the Tenth
street viaduct crowded and every train which
came in seemed to be more crowded than
the preceding ones.
The Burlington had the first special in at
the union depot and unloaded ten crowded
~cars. The Northwestern followed with a big
special and the Milwaukee had two specials,
the Rock Island Gaping the climax with
three. Among the arrivals on the first Rock
Island special was the Atlantic band of forty
pieces, which Is to take part in the services
at the Iowa buildings The second Rock
Island train brought Governor Shaw and his
stan. All the Burlington regular trains car
ricd special cars, which were well filled, and
by noon that road had brought into the city
twenty-five carloads of visitors. or probably
somewhere near 800 people. At the depot
across the way the other lines had extra cars
on all trains and landed in the neighborhood
of twenty-five well nlled cars. Adding to
kthis the arrivals at the Webster street depot
MOT less than 5000 visitors arrived in Omaha
on the morning trains.
Among the arrivals were Iowans from Des
Moines, Dubuque, Atlantic. Boone, Harlan.
Denison. Fort Dodge, Sioux City, Mason City
in fact from almost every town Of any size
IN Iowa. The first Rock Island special
carried more than 800 people from Atlantic
and each Of the other specials on that line
had a large delegation from that town, CIV
ing 1t the largest representation.
The Iowans who arrived were mostly from
the towns of the state, and many Of the
visitors who came in expressed the opinion
that the showing made this morning was
nothing as compared with what can be ex-
pectcd from the state as soon as 1t is pos
. sible for the farmers to get away from their
work.
