The North Central Editors Visit to
the Omaha Exposition.

Pacific at Concordia, which, after Sc
curing reinforcements along the route
numbered about forty.two.
Ii is only necessary to add in this
connection that the unique and effable
Charley Styles had the party IN charge,
and anyone at all conversant with the
case will know at once that an enter
tainment strictly upto'date and fin
de steele, was furnished. Ia short u
continual performance was in pro-
gress, there was no lowering OF the
curtain.
At 8 p. m, Atchison was reached
and after kind welcome by ex.Gov.
Felt, of the Champion, the editors
were invited to enjoy trolley ride, by
Supt. Bardine, aud later concert at
Forest Park. There WAS nothing
lacking in the hospitality extended
at Atchison, but the formost figure in
it must be Gov Felt who was there
ito welcome tho coming, and speed
the parting guest"
At 6 o'clock Sunday morning the
train arrived at Omaha and after be-
ing settled IN quarters, previously
arranged for, the party became indi-
viduals, each one seeking his own
method of entertainment. Before
separating, however, they had the
pleasure of being introduced to Mr..
II W. Richardson, IN charge of the
Department Of Publicity and Promo
ton, with headquarters at the Press
Building, Mr. Richardson is a gem
tleman Of unusal suavity, and in his
little speech of welcome, while pro.
pitiatlng the sterner sex took occasion
TO throw . few boqueis at the ladies'
These were very graciousy received,
for with one accord they pronounced
Mr., Richardson to be AL right"
He presented each member with a
press badge which WAS to be the tails
man which would throw open the
gates and doors.
To attempt even faint description
Of the exposition would require an
ADLER pen THAI the writer is possessed
Of. Briefly, the buildings proper, are
the Electrical and Machinery Hall,
Manufacturers Building, Adminlstra-
ton Building, Building Of Agrcul-
ture and Government Building.
These all extend along + he side of the
lagoon with the Government Building
at the end, then continuing along the
other side are the Fine Arts Building,
the Liberal Arts and the Mines and
Mining Building. These form a quad
rangie and at night when the build
lngs are Lighted, present scene
Of matchless beauty. The quiet wa
ters of the lagoon i'll which the lights
are reflected, the beautiful court, the
buildings-all white-which rise like
monuments on every hand, all form a
tout ensemble, to inspire the poets
pen or the artists brush, Or better
still, delight the heart and refresh
the eye Of the everyday man and
woman, who drop their care and labors
to erjoy few days outing aud return
home with this beautiful picture i'm
pressed upon them.
The Midway with It's endless at.
fractions, must necessarily form an
important part of the exposition. The
Bankers, on the outside, are Of them
selves worth the price Of admission.
There may be seen ell the attractions
Of the Midway of the Worlds Fair,
and for a consideration, the sight-seer
may be transported from the streets
of Cairo, to a German village or even
enter into the delights of Moorish
palace
The state buildings are for the
most part very foe. Our own dear
state seems TO have been neglected in
the exhibit. While the building it's
self Is all that it ought to be, there is
absolutely nothing inside but a few
chairs, while in the Horticultural
Building, we only exhibit a few bot
ties Of wines and Ybiekies-7rsther a
sarcasm we take it on this good pro-
hibition state.
The Exposition is all that's claimed
for it, and no one should miss it who
can possibly make the necessary
arrangements to attend. We give
place to the following which explains
its advantages more clearly than we
can:
