Greater America Exposition manage
ment is determined to bring this show
up to the demands of public opinon
in every respect.
All counties in the United States are
invited and solicited to make a dis
play. no charge being made for space
in the agricultural building, and
every assistance possible being oc-
corded exhibitors in getting their ex-

The amusement features s,lrpass
those of last year, both in point OF
numbers and in the quality of the at
fractions. The Midway is, as usual,
fantastic, unreal, and bizarre, and yet,
Withal, instructive and entertaining.
The principal features OF the Trans
Mississippi are seen. but there are nu-

dol~sal Exposition at Omaha Ready fo1
Visitors on Opening Day.
THOUSANDS VISIT GREAT SHOW
a Grand Street Pageant Marches
Through Streets of City and Into the
Exposition Grounds-A Great and En-
thusiastic Gathering on Independence
Day.

The first Greater America Colonial
Exposition was duly inaugurated on
the morning of July 1, when a grand
street pageant marched through the
streets of Omaha and out to the beau
tlful grounds, where the formal eXer-
cises We're held. Large crowds of Wis
ltors are daily testifying to the sue
cess achieved and are paving deserved
compliments to the magnificent results
achieved. The buildings are rapidly
filling with splendid collection of ex-
hi5lts and a large force of men are
working day and night to put ex-
hblts In place. The ground deccra-
tons are far more beautiful than those
OF last year and nothing is lacking to
please, instruct and entertain those
who visit the great Exposition.
The agricultural feature of the
Greater America Exposition is re-
ceiving much more than the usual at
tention accorded this department at
eXpositions. Instead of the bronze
medal and silver cup the exposition
management has decided to pay cash
premiums to all counties that make
;reditable showing of farm products.
In order that the spirit of this enter
prise be of recognized value to exhib-
TORS there has been set aside $4,000
to be divided into twenty-five prizes.
to be awarded to the twenty-five coun-
ties scoring the highest in quality of
collective exhibits. These prizes are
graduated from four hundred to one
thousand dollars each. In addition to
the above there is an additional 1ro-
vision for all other counties making
displays, which is, that no county shall
receive less than two hundred dollars
cash award if it's display is of recog-
nized merit.
The Importance of large and full
display of agricultural products is rec
ognized by every one at all familiar

Of remarkable set-pieces have been
prepared which will illustrate sorle of
the principal events of the late war.
Horse races by electric light, and
ghost dances by half-civil;zed Indians,
and scores of other attractions will be
seen, leaving little or nothing to be
desired in this line.
The widespread interest which the
Indian congress aroused at the expo
sition of 1898 has induced the manage
ment of the Greater America enter
prise to give this feature prominent
place in the list of attractions. Ar
rangements have been made to secure

ARMY NOMINATIONS ALSO FAILED.
The Senate Did Not Make the Promo
tiOns Recommended.

All of the nominations of army officers
for brevet commissions on account of gal
lantry during the Cuban, Porto Rican and
Philippine campaigns failed of action on
the part of the Senate. 1t is believed at
the War Department that this resulted from
lack of time. and not from any intention on
the part Of any considerable number of
senators to deny this purely honorary
recognition of the courage of our soldiers
Altogether there were 625 of these nomi-
ma ations. The number appeared to be un-
reasonably large to persons who had not
looked into the conditions, but each case
was made the subject of critical examina-
tion by a special board, which has youched
for its merit.
One of the members of the board declared
that the fact that the board found so maay
soldiers worthy of reward for gallantry
should be matter of pride for the Ameri-
can people rather than a cause for criti-
cism, for 1t went to demonstrate that the
army was approaching very near that ideal
state when every man the firing line
was both brave and gallant. Probably the
entire list of brevets will be again nomi-
mated to the Senate at the next session

Cotton Seed Oil at MarsetI,e.

There is a sharp fight on between oppos

sui Skinner at Marseilles, over the contin-
ued importation of American cottonseed oil
at the existing rate of duty. There is not
only large French trade in the refined oil
classed as an edible product, but recently
there have been large imporsations of SOAP
stock. which Is one of the by-products of
the refining process to which the oil is
subjected. The total arrival of oil at the
