as in the case of Hawaii We propose
to produce on the Exposition grounds

are in perfect order at Omaha, repre-

of all tribes hitherto hostile to eacf

Agriculture and horticulture will b,

Is to draw the attention Of the manufac

The Midway streets Of the Greater
America Exposition at Omaha this year
will teen with unique attractions, As
was true of the exposition of 1898 this
section Of the forthcoming show will
prove to be the most powerful magnet
on the grounds. Concessionaires have
already paid in thousands Of dollars as
first payment money and nearly hun.
bred applications are now on file await.
ing acceptance by the managers. These
if accepted would net the exposition
about $4,000. The Midway this year,
however, will be far different in all par.
ticulars from that Of year ago, as, in.
deed. will be the entire Exposition. 1t
is q new deal all around.

The Greater America Exposition at
Omaha this year will present many
novel exhibits from the islands Of the
sea recently acquired by the United
States. Native tribes and their print.
tive habitations will be transplanted.
Many curious exhibits are being col
tected, the first collection of the kind
to be shown in the United States. The
Omaha show will run largely to live
exhibits, which term comprehends
moving exhibits calculated to attract
popular interest in their operation. For
all such exhibits space in the Expo
sition will be free. This feature is to
be carried to greater lengths than ever
before. The great structures erected by
the Omaha Exposition last year have
been purchased and will be filled with
live exhibits, showing the process Of
manufacture in many lines of industry.
Although the Greater America Elk.
position Company has been organ
lied but month or two the Bureau
of Exhibits is flooded with appli.
cations for space. 1t is only a mat
ter of selection. Mr.. |. N. Simpson,
who has just been appointed superin.
tendent of the Bureau of Exhibits, is
now in the east negotiating with some
of the great manufacturing and indus
trial concerns which have applied for
space in which to operate their exhibits.
lnasmuch as the buildings are ready
to receive exhibits, these negotiations
are proving most successful, as Mr.,
Simpson has booked many attractive
exhibits which will occupy all available
space.
The increasing prosperity which pre-.
walls throughout the midwest is re.
garded as sufficient guaranty that the
