PREPARING FOR MONETARY CONFERENCE
Many of the Leading Men of the
Country Will lie Present to Take
Part in the Great
Discussion

Since Nature has kindly empered the July
heat to Il degree at which out of door en-
joyment Is attractive, there is no perceptible
reason why nine-tenths of the population of
Omaha should not be on the exposition
grounds today. The reduced Sunday admis-
sion is still In force, and an expenditure Of
25 cents is all that is required to spend the
entire afternoon and evening on the grounds,
listening to excellent music, and spending
the day in the quiet contemplation OF scenic
beauties that lift the mind out OF the COM
monplaces of the week, and afford a relaXa-
tion that refreshes and invigorates. The
Idea that Sunday opening would be made an
excuse for Sabbath dissertation has been
thoroughly dissipated by the uniform and
orderly quiet that has prevailed on previous
Sundays, and the people have discovered that
they can visit the grounds without offense
to their religious principles. Phinney's band
will give one of its popular concerts in the
main court at 8 o'clock, and will play again
in the evening on the Plaza.
The arrangements for the currency con-
gress, which will be held in connection with
the exposition September 10. IA and 10, are
progressing satisfactorily, and the presence
of enough prominent speakers has been al
ready assured to make the event notable.
The congress is to be given under the direc-
ton of the Women's Board of Managers, but
1T has turned the entire matter over to Hon.
j. Sterling Morton of Nebraska City, who is
conducting the arrangements. The selection
of the silver advocates has been left to Con-
gresham Charles A. Towne of Duluth, and
among those who will participate in the de-
bates from a silver standpoint are Senator
Jones of Arkansas, who held the wheel of
the fusion craft during the last national
campaign; Congressman Hartman Of Mon
tana, and Fl. f. Bartine, editor Of the Ma
tional Bimettalist.
Prominent Gold Advocates.
