COST OF A WEEK AT OMAHA
Room and Board for Exposition Wis
itors at Moderate Prices.

Perhaps the first consideration with
those contemplating a visit to the
Trans-Mississippi Exposition tbs sum
mer is that of cost. To the few, ''money
is no object" to the many, it may be
said that the cost OF a visit to the Ex-
position at Omaha is moderate aud rea-
sonab|e.
In the first place, the railroads have
granted exceedingly low rates. especially
to the territory near 5y. Rooms can be
obtained at moderate cost in any part
OF the city, in some cases including
board, and those to whom timeis money
shonld remember that the compact, ess
of the Exposition buildings and the nc
feasibility from the center of the city
makes it possible to ''see the sjghts'' in
much less time than was required at the
Columbian exposition at Chicago. One
day spent in each OF the main build
ings, with two or three days for the
state buildings and other attractions,
will occupy about two weeks, and a
good general idea of the fair can 6e OBJ
tanned in hall that time.
