he Ira ns-Mississippi exposition

The Ira ns-Mississippi exposition
proved so much of success that
Omaha proposes to reproduce it on a
larger scale next year. At mass
meeting Of the business men and citi-
zens held last week, resolution to
that effect was unanimously passed,
and subscriptions are already pouring
in. The exposition has proved a
grand advertisement for the west,
and we hope our neighbors across the
"big muddy will succeed as well in
their future attempts to perpetuate
this enterprise as they did in the
efforts which made success of the
recent affair.

the ball dress for the unwelcome guest:
When the latter arrived at the house, and

chagrined and enraged beyond expression
to find the entire room. walls ceiling and

New York. Jan. 16.-The Rev. Mr.. Z. s.
Stoddard. the rector of st. Johns Episco-
pal church in Jersey City, has decided to
begin giving dancing lessons in the church
building next week. The class will meet
each Thursday night.
The price for each lesson will be Il cents.
The Rev. Mr.. Stoddard intended at first to
charge cents. but found the expenses
would be too great.
DIR. Stoddard decided that he could afford
to give eight lessons for 81. The class was
formally organized last night. There were
thirty young women and twenty-eight
young men at the meeting.
Fred Anderson. dancing instructor, has
been engaged by DIR. Stoddard.
The young people are enthusiastic over
the dancing class. which is the first of its
kind ever organized. Some Of the other
persons criticlse DIR. Stoddard for not only
sanctioning SO worldly an amusement. but
connecting 1t with the church well.
Members of the Evangelical churches are
horror stricken at the idea Of a church
dancing school.
DIR. Stoddard says he expects to meet
criticism. but declares that. however Sc
we're, 1t will not deter him. He considers
dancing not only harmless but a necessary
diversion. and believes that every young
person should be taught to dance.
