WHAT VISITORS SAY.
Praise from Prominent Men for the
Trans Mississippi Exposition.

Gov CUlbeIson CT Texas headed &
large party of citizens of the Lone
Star state TO Omaha and, in speaking
of the exposition or his return. said:
1T is simply wonderful and stands a
splendid second 10 the great world 5
fair l am delighted, simply delighted,
and very proud of the part Texas has
taken in the great Trans-Mississlppi
show
EX-Gov. F. r. Lubbock OF Texas de-
scribed Omaha las a most beautiful,
busy city. with wide, elegantly paved
streets. bread and fac sidewalks. love
ly parks, magnificent public buildings,
handsome and costly residences OF
the exposition he said: 1t is elaborate
and most elegant in all its proportions,
giving great satisfaction TO the i'm
mense multitude in attendance This
undertaking represents q wonderful
amount of pluck and enterprise on the
part of the people of Nebraska, which
il would delight ne TO see Texas emu
aate."
General Manager Yocum of the ST.
Louis and San Francisco railroad after
inspecting the grounds and buildings
at the exposition, said: 1T is grand
1t is superior to the eXpositions for
merly held. The buildings are beau
tlful and they are SO nicely arranged.
The buildings, however, are but
small part of the exposition. The ex
hibits are the things that tell the tale
OF the wealth of the country. They
are magnificent. and the showing that
Is being made ought to convince the
people who come here that the Trans
Mississippi region is the bone and sin
ew OF this great republic"
Admiral George Brown, U. S. n. IRE
tired OF Indianapolis, after spending a
day on the ground. was enthusiastic
in his praise of the exposition. judg-
ing 1T from personal comparison with
others held in the last twenty-five
years. He said: In its perfection of
detail and general effect il was unsur-
passed even by the worlds fair. and as
for other recent expositions, they
weren't a picayune side show. The
government exhibit is more complete
and satisfactory than any which have
gone before. Those in charge seem
to have profted by their previous eX-
periments in what is interesting and
profitable for public Inspection
Gov. c. NJ. Barnes of Oklahoma
said: The exposition is grand beyond
all conception and will go down into
history as the greatest exhibition Of
the resources of the great west that
has ever been seen The industrial
and agricultural exhibits are as fine
as the world has ever seen, and they
are diversified. There is apparently
just enough of everything and not too
much of anything. l knew all along
that it was a great show, but | never
had any clear conception of its mag
.nitude until | stepped inside the gate
and gazed over the grand court, which
is magnificent beyond description. 1t
is a picture for an artist 1t is more
beautiful than the worlds fair
Senator William B. Allison of Iowa,
after his first day on the grounds, said:
The exposition exceeds my fondest
expectations, and is magnificent be-
