viii not force the Corn exposition away
from the retail section out TO the Ak-sar-
Ben den" said General Manager J. Wilkes
Jones Of the exposition Mon6sy morning.
Omaha business men have beSu worked
UP to the boiling point over the obstruction
put in the way OF the National Corn eK-
position By Samuel Bauman proprietor of
the Oma hotel. The hope is expressed that
a realization of the intense indignation
which almost universally prevails viii com
pei BaumAn to withdraw his petition for
an injunction against the closing Of Fiji
teenth street from Howard to jackson by
the erection there Of the building which is
to house the educational exhibits of Iowa
and Nebraska.
This feeling is all the more acute because,
as these business men say, the exposition
will rebound enormously to the benefit Of
the hotel which Baumsn runs because Of its
proximity to the Auditorium. Bauman, 1t
Is said. has agreed TO withdraw his suit
for a consideration but II there - any
such transaction it ought ito be the
other way, say men acquainted with the
situation.
Many business men have already gone to
see Bauman to tell him in plain language
what they think Of his activity.
Great Progress Is Made.

preparation for the exposition is being
made at a pace which is wonderful when
the enormous number Of details to be ar
ranged is taken into consideration. The at
tltude Of the railroads continues 10 be graft
flying and the acute interest which they are
showing is typified in the following letter
sent to all agents Of the Illinois Central by
