Gov. ClouSh and staff, accompanied
by the members of the state commits
sion appointed to supervise the exhibit
at the Trans Mississippi exposition at
Omaha, returned yesterday morning
from the Nebraska metropolis. where
they turned over the building to the
fair mana cement Wednesday.
The party travelled by special train
from Omaha, making the distance in
phenomenally short time. The train,
which was accompanied by General
Passenger and Ticket Agent Teasdale,
left Omaha at 7:45 Thursday night and
arrived in St Paul at o'clock yester-
day morning, just as had been cal
culated by the railroad officials, al
though this time necessitated the speed
of approximately sixty miles an hour
on some of the divisions of the road.
A very enjoyable stay IN Omaha was
reported by the visitors.
Gov. Clough promised that Mime
sofa would boom the attendance as
soon as the weather grew cooler.
The observance of Minnesota day
closed with the display of fireworks in
the evening. The grandstand was
packed with people, while several hun
dred lined up along the fence on the
section of the grandstand was occupied
by Gov. Clough and the Minnesota
party.
The display opened with prismatic
illumination of the entire surroundings.
This, in turn, was followed by set
piece, entitled Welcome Minnesota"
Then there was flight of shells with
in shells, aquatic fireworks, including
snakes, diving fish, porpoiSes, water
mines and silver fountains, together
with flight of hundreds of magnesium
shells. The next to attract attention
was boy and girl riding seesaw,
after which came the set piece that
was the feature of the display. 1t was
a portrait of Gov. Clough in colors. 1t
burned brightly for five minutes, and
was cheered and cheered. The next
thing in order was an aerial device,
representing a girl acrobat walking on
a ball that revolved for 600 feet in mid
air. After this there was fight Of
Dues shells, containing 10000 stars,
flock of swans on the lake, monster
fiery phoenix, the display closing with
a grand bombardment of shells, rockets
and colored lights.
Gov. Clough found cordial welcome
in Omaha. The stern stuff Of which
he is made found a fellow feeling in
many an Omaha man who dates his
residence to the early days of the wild
West, while the party found other ties
of a more or less secret nature which
bound them last to representative cit
liens OF the Nebraska metropolis.
The Masonic quartette were the lions
Of the hour, Their encores were so
warm that they had to sing frequent
ly. After Browning had rendered the
''Dago Man and Delsarte," by the sug
gestion of George r. Finch, who Gag
erly awaited the conclusion of one song
that he might call for the next, a fear
that the Omaha folks would think

Gus work led them to volunteer the
pretty bit of pathos, I'll take care Of
you, grandma in which the voices Ct
the four were admirably blended. The
listeners We're all captivated, whether
from Minnesota or not.
