From this humble termination ex-
positions have expanded until they have be
come important events in the history OF
nations.
While the Transmississippi Exposition at
Omaha will not reach the proportions Of the
Worlds fairs at Paris, Vienna, London ana
Chicago, it will in some respects be more
interesting to Americans, because it will
present an impressive memorial of an age
in our history which is without parallel else
where and can never be repeated, because
there is no theater upon which the great
drama can be reproduced. 1t will afford an
unrivaled opportunity for cultivating bet
ter acquaintance with the manners and Gus
toms of that gigantic generation which laid
the foundations and established the institu-
tons of the empire OF the west.
The future triumphs of the English speak
ing races are to be won in the valley OF
the Mississippi, and not on the shores of
the Thames or the Hudson. Miraculous as
has been the growth in wealth and numbers
of the transmississippi region, its capacities
are but imperfectly suspected. even by those
who have been boldest in their predictions.
1t Will support a population of $50, 000, 900
without taxing it's resources to exhaustion,
and by the close of the twentieth century it's
possessions VIII far exceed the assets now
inscribed upon the national ledger. Science
will discover new applications for over
coming the obstacles of nature. The
inventions of Edison viii replenish the
treasures of the world with the gold of it's
mountain ranges. and the discoveries OF
Tesla may convert the wasted forces of its
winds and rivers into applied energy that
will carry on al the operations of indus
try without the Intervention of human
labor.
This is the instruction OF the Omaha ex-
position. Its mission Is toicommunicate to
mankind the impulses ito which it owes it's
origin. Its result Will be to extend the
boundaries OF knowledge, 20 increase the
opportunities for happiness. to stimulate
patriotism, and to giyefo the world final tes-
timony of the value OF nee institutions.
and of the capacity of the american people

scheduled is that of the Travellers Protective
association, now in session. June will be
concluded with the important gathering OF
the Transmississippi Educational convention.
which will impart an educational flavor to
the month, and is expected to attract an at
tendance Of not less than 5000 people.
The notable gathering in July will be that
OF the National Republican league, conven-
ing from July Is to II. This will bring TO
the city many of the best known political
leaders of the United States, and its sessions
will be regarded with interest in every part
of the country.
The assemblies in August will partake
largely of an athletic character, and among
these the National Bohemian funniest will
be prominent, which is sure to give a de-
cided impetus to gymnastic work among the
local turner's and will be an event of more
than ordinary Importance to those inter-
ested in athletics.
September will be introduced by the labor
congress, which opens on Labor day and
continues one week. 1t will be followed by
other congresses, mostly OF a religious and
educational character. The month will be
notably concluded by the Ak-Sar-Ben fes-
t%ivities, celebrated with more than the usual
ceremonies.
PioblaIi vi COuNtullOuS anu similar
gatherings will be interspersed with special
days at the exposition for states and cities.
Among those arranged at this time Tune IA
has been dedicated to Nebraska, June II to
Wisconsin and June 81 to Illinois. Various
college alumni have also applied for special
days to devote TO reunions OF former school,
mates throughout the country.

this city during the summer of 1898, eff
forts were begun by local members of state
and national organizations to bring the 1895
conventions of their respective bodies to
this city. The special inducement was that
the exposition would offer an added attrac-
ton to those desiring to attend a gathering
OF their particular craft or calling, and as
a complement of the conventions would make
their visit doubiy valuable and entertaining.
These efforts have been so unusually sue
cessful that more than 100 national bodies
have settled upon Omaha for their meeting
place this summer, a larger number than
have ever met in a single city during a SINH
lar period. Many Of these conventions rank
among the most important in the country
and they will be welcomed with the hos
pitality for which Omaha has gained an
enviable reputation. Elaborate preparations
for their entertainment have been made by
the Commercial club in conjunction with the
exposition management and various local or
CARNATIONS, and they will find suitable ae-
commodations awaiting them.

OUR CONSULAR SERVICE.

DE. James Angel Says It Has Been Neg
lected by Congress.
Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 4-The Good
Government club Of the University of
Michigan has held its first meeting for
the collegiate year. Among the speak,
ers were President James B. Angel,
Professor Henry c. Adams OF the po-
litical economy department, and Pro-
fessor Bradley M. Thompson of the law
school DR.. Angel. among other things,
said that our state department and
consular service had been neglected by
congress. That matters Of a foreign
nature had been given a second place.
that the attention of our senators and
congressman has been too largely taken
up with purely local matters. Our
state department needs a better equip
ment. 1t needs men well trained in
foreign affairs upon whom 1t can call
as occasion demands. He severely criti-
cised the custom of changing consuls
with each change Of administration.
Professor Adams said that he believed
that our political ethics stood on
higher level than our business ethics.
Publicity had done much to accomplish
this.
Professor Thompson urged the young
men Of the university not to ally them
selves to any party, but to prepare to
lead a party themselves tomorrow He
scored the entire party system Follow
ing the speeches a large number of
new members were taken into the club
and the work of the year started.

WAR WITH THE REDSKINS.
Special Says Bloodshed Is Inevitable on
Bear Island, Mimi.

st. Paul, Oct. 5.-A Walker Mimi,
special to The Pioneer Press says: War
Is inevitable. The Bear island Indians
refuse to surrender. They will not give up
the men wanted by the officials. Today
the marshal will take them in spite Of
their refusal to come. The troops Of
the United States will be called into SER
vice to assist the marshal. The Indians
say they will resist as long as man
lives. There is only one result possible
-bloodshed, and plenty Of 1t. War must
follow, for the marshal is determined
to take the men and they are no less
determined to resist. None Of the other
branches of the Chippewas has yet
Joined the pillagers, but when the first
shot is fired it is by no means impossi-
BILE that the White Earth Indians, those
of Red Lake and Cash Lake, and even
those of the Leech Lake agency may
Join with their turbulent brothers and
face death. 1t is by no means improb-
able that the first shot or the first
Indian killed may bring to northern
Minnesota a general uprising.

Lansing, Mich, Oct. All of the en-
ployes of the Robert Smith Printing
company, state printers, have walked
out again. July 1 they struck because
Of the refusal of the firm to grant a
nine-hour day, which they claimed was
considered in the new bids for the two
year state contract. and also an in
crease of wages in the bindery.. An
agreement was reached whereby the diff
ferences were left to board Of arbitra-
ton, which, after investigating,
granted the strikers, including printers,
pressmen, etc., a nine and one-half
hour day, with a nine hour Saturday.
Last Saturday the firm paid the extra
half hour from July 1, but the strikers
claimed price and a half for this time,
which the firm finally conceded. The
strikers then notified the firm that they
would insist on an increase wage scale
in the bindery. This, the firm claims,
was not included in the arbitration, but
expressed a willingness to have the
question arbitrated, but the strikers
say the bindery scale was included in
the former agreement and, with three
or four exceptions, the entire force Of
$50 refused to work.

Washington, Ind, Oct. 3.-This city Is
in great state of excitement. One hun
dred and fifty coal miners from Pana,
Ills, came here Saturday afternoon and
met at the fair grounds with the home
union miners and organized. At 10
o'clock last night they got together and,
masked, visited all the shacks where
the colored coal miners lived. About
fifty Of the negroes were corralled. and
at the points of pistols were driven out
of town. One negro refused to go and
the miners fired on him. He has not
been found and may be killed. The po-
lice could do nothing.
One brave policeman, Anderson Can
non, went up to the whole mob and de-
manded Of them to dispense. They an
swered by leveling their pistols at him.
The masked miners took the town. Chief
of Police Call turned in the fire alarm
and called out the citizens to assist in
keeping peace. Several were deputized,
and II there is a new outbreak Of trou-
bic much bloodshed is likely to result.
At this writing the streets are crowded
with people. The masked men have
hidden themselves, possibly to make an
attack on other negro shacks. There
are possibly fifty negroes who declare
they will die before they leave town.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 3.-Annie Koerner
had two gentlemen callers, but desiring
to take a tandem ride with her best
young man, got Victoria Michowski,
a deaf mute. to entertain the other
young man. Both couples started away
on tandems. The young man with VIC
toria, who is known to her only by the
name Of Pete. attempted to make love
to the dumb girl, and kissed and Rugged
her.
Then Victoria found her voice and
yelled so loud that the citizens were
stirred up and started after the tandem
with revolvers. Only one shot was
fired, when Pete" deserted the bicycle.
Victoria told the police her troubles in

make herself understood to a small ex-

will be restored
