M'KlTRlCK WILL GET WELL
That In the Good News that Comes
from the Injured Foot Ball
Player,

George McKitrick's complete recovery,
both mentally and physically. from the
severe injury and resulting unconscious
ness sustained during Il foot ball game
some time ago at Galesburs, H., is now
confidently predicted by his doctors.
A letter received in Omaha from Mrs.
McKitrick. mother of the young man, says
that he is slowly regainlng consciousness
after having been in an unconscious state
for weeks. Monday he spoke three words, re-
ferring to his condition and the place
where he was, as a Hard old place. He
has also given other assurances that within
a week he will probably nave become
totally conscious and much improved.
The only fear of the doctors for him now
is that he may be slightly paralyzed after
recovering in other respects. However. this
Is held merely as a possibility and is
thought to be improbable.
AS soon as he is able to be moved consid-
erably. he will be brought home to Omaha
by his mother. The announcement OF his
improved condition and the statement by
the physicians that his mind will probably
not suffer from the effects of the injury, Is
causing great pleasure among his local
friends and acquaintances. He was formerly
student at the high school and later at
Creighton university.

OF private exhibitors coming into action,
with judges and officials pouring in by the
score, the buildings and offices OF the Ma
tional Corn exposition are a tolerably busy
place these days.
Gigantic as is the amount OF work to be
done, the outlook is good that the eXposi-
ton will open seven days hence with all of
the exhibits In place, with the work OF
judging done and in fact all the preliminary
details completed. A thorough ~organiza-
iton alone has made this possible, an or
ganization built up entirely from the
ground in Omaha and which will be avail
able next year without any work at all.
There Is a general sentiment that Omaha
should retain the National Corn exposition
permanently and every delegate and eX-
hibitor on the ground will admit this except
the Indianans. These. however. say that
Omaha should be the scene of the corn
exposition for some years at least. After
that-well there Is n little village in the
