about to be completed, and the name
has now been given to the Omaha con.
tinustion Of the exposition Of go It il
expected to exploit the products OF Am
erica's late acquisitions, along with the
rest.
Articles os incorporation we're adopted
Friday, and there was much enthusiasm
displayed along with the talk OF tho in
corporat0rs.
The following from former mayor OF
Omaha, George p. Bemis, will show
JOURNAL readers what these incorpor-
ators have to cay for themselves OF an
undertaking which is not meeting with
much favor:
I'm for greater Omaha, for greater
Nebraska, for greater Fremont, for great

state. I'm for greater America and I'm
for the Greater America Exposition to
be held in this city in 1899. This is the
Midway of the whole continent, and We
are all ready for q magnificent exposition
of the colonial products and resources.
The whole country will say, Let it go
to Omaha It would be q shame to let
the present opportunity 60 by. What
We need is patience, perseverance and
pluck, and with these qualities we'll
carry the exposition of next year to the
grandeet success ever attained by any

The Shooting Touruanent.


The Columbus Gun club gave another
of their popular shooting matches at
their grounds north of the city Sunday
last, which drew q large crowd Of spec
tators, among them quite sprinkling Of
the fair sex, who seemed to enjoy the
different events with as much interest as
the cracksmen themselves.
Besides the home shooters, quite few
from abroad took part in the contests,
Omaha sending q good delegation, and
although the day was just little too
chilly for very fine shooting, yet some
good records were made, and il the
gunners had been aiming at Spaniards
instead Of live pigeons and blne rocks,
it is safe to say that not one would have
escaped with his life.
The shooting commenced at 10 in the
morning and except for a short inter-
mission at. the dinner hour, continued
until dusk, tho score of the moro i'm

Where d he?

EDITOR JouRNAL:-What has become
OF the champion Of populism, that Argus
man! Has he lost the power OF defend:
ing his cause, or has he gone on q still
hunt in some more genial CLINE? am
of the opinion that his physical structure
has gone in search of his spirit which
separated from his body about the time
the free-silver craze struck him. Oi
course his body has the power OF locomo'
tion. He walks around and does NOT
realize that he is responsible for his
environment. He imagines that his
environment is responsible for him. He
is entirely responsible for the silver talk
that flows from his mouth, like the
smoke pufted from the stack OF q locomo.
tive. He does not seem to realize that
he is living in the grandest country that
Gods sun ever shone upon; under the
best administration beneath the blue
canopy of heaven; under the most beau.
tiful flag that was ever waited to and fro
in the atmosphere of our Maker. Where
all of this discomfort comes from is
simply this: The other fellow has the
reins in his hands, and holds to them
with such q firm grip that no pop can
dispossess him. II the pop party was in
power what a heaven this would be to
him to live in! There would be no taxes
to pay; no interest to pay; no bonds to
pay; no money to pay with, and the
enterprise OF America would soon dry
down as close rs the hide to the bones OF
an Egyptian mummy.
A contented mind is a continual feast,
so says an old adage. If such be the
case, our pop friends are living on pretty
slim rations. Their diet has been silver
on the brain, instead of in the pocket.
The dollar is the vital principle OF all
undertakings. Without the dollar, all is
a blank. Brother pop, come back to
reason. Don't waste SO much wind.
There is no dollar in it.
I do not think that God ever created
a populist. I believe that q chronic
desire to hold Office created the populist.
Brother Argus man, get out from your
environment and educate yourself up to
be a frst-class American citizen ready
and willing to support the constitution
of the United States and the wisest
administration which the American citi-
zen ever knew.
Yours, a republican,

The local nevanan

The local newspaper is one Of the
best money-eavers to its subscribers, and
this in a multitude of ways, but none of
them more valuable to the public in
general than in calling attention to the
various species Of fraudulent practices in
vogue among those who endeavor to
make living by preying upon their
fellow-creatures, and, by one device or
another, inveigling from the unsuspect-
ing portion of their honestly earned
possessions. In this kind there is nearly
always something new to record every
week, and safe rule to adopt is to pur-
chase your supplies, or transact business
Of any kind with reputable, home men OF
acknowledged integrity and worth. The
last Schuyler Quill gives the following,
which should be passed around, the
remedy going with the disease: "A
patent right shark was plying his art in
this vicinity last week and captured q
temporary victim in the person Of
Chauncey Snyder, young man living q
few miles west OF town. The patent
right vender struck Snyder Thanksgiv-
ing day and after q protracted effort
secured from him note for $l25 for the
right to sell in given territory patent
hog trough. But after the fellow had
gone Snyder began to think he had been
duped and came to town to see il the
note could not be recovered. His first
thought was to get out Of it on the
grounds OF having given the note on q
legal holiday, but finding himself stuck
on that, he notified the banks not to cash
the note and on the advice Of his attor-
neys, Phelps & Wertz, swore out q CON-
plant against the fellow for obtaining
money under false pretenses. The fel.
low at first insisted that the note had
been sent to Beatrice and wrote card
asking for its immediate return. This
was done before the complaint was fled
for bls arrest. But it having been known
that he had not been in town since the
deal was closed, Snyder's attorneys in
sisted that he produce the note. He
still strongly denied having it. At last
they told him that they would have TO
hold him in custody until the note came
and told Sheriff Mcleod, who was stand.
ing near, to serve the papera The fellow
changed front very suddenly and inquir-
ed il his producing the note would settle
the matter, and on being assured that Il
would, produced the note at once. He
left the city and is not expected back
eoon."

be working on q plan to obviate the

train through to Columbus, making
Grand Island only stopping place on
the run. At Columbus the train will
connect with the train OF the Albion
branch, which will run on through to
Omaha. This will give the crews on the
Ord and Albion branches something
more to do, but will save the expense OF

will be q necessity for the train to leave
