adopted. 1t has been as popular with

reason OF this surprising fact Is that

persons object to ride In cabs because
of the possibility of an alteration
with the driver MS to the amount OF
the fare when the trip Is ended. All
that is put at an end by the taxame-
ter. which shows. In plain sight, the
distance trayersed and the fare TO be
paid. Consequently more persons are
riding In cabs today than ever rode

Of fares is looked upon AS permanent

The widespread interest which the

The first Greater America Colonial
Exposition was duly inaugurated on
the morning of July 1, when grand
street pageant marched through the
streets of Omaha and out to the beau
tiful grounds, where the formal exer-
cises were held. Large crowds Of Wis
itors are daily testifying to the suc-
cess achieved and are paying deserved
compliments to the magnificent results
achieved. The buildings are rapidly
filling with splendid collection Of ex-
hibits and a large force Of men are
working day and night to put ex-
hibits in place. The ground decora-
tions 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 a
creditable showing of farm products.
In order that the spirit of this enter
prise be of recognized value to exhib-
itors there has been set aside 100000
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 Iro-
vision for all other coui,ties making
displays, which is, that no county shall
receive less than two hundred dollars
cash award If its display is of recog-
nized merit
The importance of a large and full
display OF agricultural products is rec
ognized by every one at all familiar
