Special Correspondence of the
Twin Bridges. Sept. 3o.-An interest,"
ing letter has been received from Mrs.
L. A. Fitch. one of the oldest timers
OF Madison county. who recently went

ton OF the exhibits. She says In part:
Miss Lizzie Page OF Twin Bridges.
who. with her sister. had been in Oma-
ha W weeks. kindly consented to pilot
me to points Of especial interest on the
grounds. so on Friday morning at
8 o'clock we started out to see the
sights. riding some Ave or six miles in
the street cars before reaching the ex-
position grounds.
Before giving a brief resume of
what interested me most. / will say
that the exposition far exceeds in point
OF greatness the expectations of most
visitors. So little is read or known
about IL In the West. m as I found
later In the East, that people are quite
ignorant of IL and you will hear them
wondering IL IL is still in progress. i
sought TO find the cause of this while
In Omaha and was told that the city
was making so well out of the affair
that they didn't care to expend money
advertising IL. They are hoping to
greatly reduce railroad rates before IL
closes for Montana as well as other
states, thus enabling the masses to at
tend. Miss Page first escorted me to
the United States BUILDING govern
ment). which contains enough of his
toric interest to hold ones attention
for weeks, II not for months. The old
colonial figures. life-like I'm their grand
eur OF bearing, yet as silent as the
grave, were first passed with a rever-
entail glance, for Il seemed an impert-
inence to gaze upon them. Continuing
around the building to the right from
our point of entrance. we saw ~colonia
relics OF many descriptions: early
coaches. war implements, portrait max
ers of our government and many 9TH
er things loaned by the Smithsonian in
stitute that told of the past OF our
own people. and the progress of the
arts and civilization OF the white race
and Of the Indians. animals, beasts.
birds. fishes and reptiles, many I'm fos-
SLICED form n many stuffed ones,
among the latter the white albatross,
which 7 was glad to see."
Mrs. Fitch continues the description
and closes by saying she is enjoying
her visit and has good health. She will
visit six or eight weeks I'm Lake Breeze,
Ohio, before returning.
