called upon Gov. Leeiy yesterday to
ascertain the status of the proposition
for suitable exhibit of the resources
Of Kansas at the Omaha exhibition.
The governors proposition was that if
the railroads of the state would guar
antee $4,000 for this purpose he would
proceed to raise an additional $4,000
from miners, manufacturers and farm
ers throughout the state. The com
mittee assured Gov. Leedy that three
of the principal Kansas roads had
agreed to contribute their share of the
required amount. These are the Atch-
ison. Topeka IL Santa Fe. the Missouri
Pacific and the St Louis K San Fran
cisco. The Rock Island has already
arranged for a direct exhibit at its
own expense. and the Union Pacific
has not been in shape to make con
tribution. The governor was urged
to 90 ahead with his plan for obtain
ing the balance OF the money from the
sources named by him, aud the pros
pect is considered good for a fair rep.
