A UNIQUE NAP.

Growing on six acres OF Q gentle south
ern slope of lesson Hill at the Louisians
Purchase Exposition, st. Louis, 10 the
largest geographically correct map ever
constructed. This map is $50 feet long
from east to west and extends from north
to south 24O feet This map of the
United States IL the main feature OF the
large open air exhibit by tho bureau OF
plant industry Of the department Of
agriculture.
A belt Of blue grass lawn 20 feet wide
establishes the boundary and coast lines
Of this gigantic map. The boundary
lines between the states are marked by
cinder and gravel paths three feet wide.
The states themselves are to be planted
in growing crops OF the principal agri-
cultural products Of the state. The
cinder and gravel walks serve as prone
nsdes, and are OF sufficient width to
permit the free passage OF visitors.
Thus q labyrinth Of passage ways is
created and the visitor may vend his
way through the maze and see by actual
demonstration just what crops are grown
in every part OF the United States and
how they are raised. Not only will the
products OF each state be shown on this
map by growing crops, but the section
Of the state on which each commodity is
most grown will be shown. Thus on the
small plot Of ground that represents one
great state will be found score OF
different crops growing.
While tho arrangement OF the exhibits
in the form OF the monster map will
fasten the eye more quickly and will
challenge the admiration OF every visitor
to tho fair, the aericulturist and horti-
culturist will find in the exhibits sur
rounding the map other exhibits OF equal
interest and importance. The depart
ment Of agriculture will also have dis
plays showing the method of treating
diseases Of plants, plant breeding, school
gardens, grasses both native and cult
waited, seeds, cereals, poisonous and
medicinal plants and many other dis
plays Of educational interest.

MExBERs OF the democratic and popu-
list state central committees held meet
ings in Lincoln last Tuesday. Both
committees selected August . as the
date OF their conventions but the demo-
Gratis selected Columbus on account OF
it being the home OF Judge Sullivan, and
because it was his wish, while the popu-
lists will meet in Grand Island. Some
sentiment against fusion was exhibited.
The populist committee agreed to settle
the $3.50 claim held against them by
Mrs. Helen NJ. Cougar for $3.50. There
was no contest among the democrats
against holding the convention in this
city, and it is generally understood that
the populists will nominate Judge Sui
livan for supreme judge.

The Lincoln Journal thus logically
decides the position OF Judge Sullivan:
ut is settled that Judge Sullivan will
be nominated for the supreme bench by
the fusionists OF Nebraska. 1t is settled
that Judge Barnes will be nominated
for the same Office by the republicans.
According to the more or less amusing
World Herald, the fact that there is no
fight for the place among the republi-
cans shows that the corporations have
made the selection. Arranged in logical
sequence it's argument becomes some
thing like this: When q man has no
opposition for nomination the railroads
are behind him. Judge Sullivan will be
nominated unanimously. Therefore,
Judge Sullivan is the choice of the
railroads"

Dr. Schermerhorn stated the kettle used
