FROM A JOURNEY OF OVER 2,200 MILES. It is Estimated That More Than 150,000 reople Visited the Train During its Trip— All Enthusiastic. Yestorday at 10:30 o'clock the Nabraska advertisiug train pulled into the union depot Bt Omaha, after a trip through eastern states consumng twenty-two days. During this time tho delogates ln charge of the oxhibit Pave traveled over 2,200 miles, and have ox- hibited at forty-nine cuios and towns in Jowa, Illinois, Indiana, Obio and Penunsyl- vania. The routo taken was over the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney from Omaha to Chi- cugo, then over tho Peunsylvania road to Rochester, Pa., then back by way of the Pan- Handle to Chicago and over the Chicago & Northwestern bavk to Omaba, At every point where a stop was made the people flocked to the train 1 crowds, notouly tho towns people, but farmers camo in from every direction,somo of them from o distance of ten to twenty miles, It was a groat surprise to theso peoplo to gazo upon such splondid products of the soil aud tho visitors were loud in their praises. The nowspapers all along the routo spoke most highly of the exhibit and although a California and & Florida train had been over 8 good deal of the ground, the showing made by Nebraska was pronounced ahoad of aiything ever before seon. “From God's country,’ was the way one enthusiastic jour- nal headed its account of the train. Some iden of tho interest taken in the train by eastern peoplo may be gather from the fact that the public schools were dismissed in many places to allow the chilaren to seo the exhibit. It is estimated that 150,000 peoplo visited tho tram during ' the trip. and a whole car load of priuted matter was distributed among them, Satistied With the Trip. ‘The gentlomen in chargo of the train aro most enthusiastio over the result of the trip and aro already talking about repeating the same thing on a much lurger scale next i’ellr. Railroaa men who have taken great ntorest in the scheme suggest that mext time they should take with a full train with an exhibit covering every branch of of industry and coutinue the trip clear to Boston, covering New York and tho New England states iu a most thorough man- ner. Welcomed Home. After doing so much to turn the atten- tion of tho people of the east toward Nobraska the business men of Omaha thought that thoy could show their appreciation in no better way than by turn- ing out to welcome home the eitizens in charge of the train Accoraingly at 7:50 yesterday ocitizens ropresonting the Omaha Board of Trade, the Mavufacturers and Consumers Association of Nebraska and the Real Estate Owners asso- elation loft tho Council Bluffs depot to meet the advertising train at Missouri Valley. Among this party wero W. A, Page, Dan Far- veoll, Witliam R. Drummond, H. (. Clark, A. D. Biadley, of the Manufacturers association Euclid Martin, Max Meyer, D. H, Wheels and 8.

McMullen and J, Muon of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley, and A. B. Swith of the Bur- lington. At Missourl Valley the traln was met and after a geucral shaking of bauds all arouad the clgars were brought out and the travellors sutortained the recoption party during the returning roturn to the city with an account of the trip and its splendia success. “It was a long, hard trip,” sad_Secretary Hodgin, “and we aro all’ glad to zet back home again.” These Men Did It Tho train, which was equipped by the Ne- braska Stato Business Men's association, was under the supervision of the following mem- bers of the advisory board of directors of that association: O.

B OMANA Remembered the Mascot, A voto of thanks was also tendered Mr. W, M. Marsuall, the Pullman porter, for his ef- forts for the comfort of the party while en route, and he was presented with a purse, ‘The mascot of the train, the little colored boy taken on bourd at Peol was also remem- bered with a purso This httle youngster was picked up at Peoria. He was found on the depot platfor m ragged and airty, and crowded to the front to 360 overything that was to be seen. He made it known that be was without a homo and Wwas i wanderer on the faco of the earth. ‘That settled it, for the kind nearted Nebras- kans at once 0ok him in, washed him up and furnished bim with & new suit of clothes, Since that hour he has been one of the Neo- braska exhibits. On a large banner along the side of thecar appears the inscription, ‘“Nebraska on Wheels.” When the train reached Colum- bus, O., young Eph i1n some manner secured possession of a pair of roller skates and start- the broad avenue into the city from yelling at the top of “Git outen de road—hero come: wheels. I sprung up on de pr out er my way."" As soon as the train reached Omaha Eph grabbed a lot of hand bills and started out to let folks know that the train was ore. It is quite probable tnat one of the delegates from the interior of the state will take the lad home with him. Not In it With Nebraska. Tho easterners frankly acknowledged that thoy wero not iu it with Nebraska when it camo to raising notatoes, and many of therm offered 25 cents for sigle tuber for seed, but not a thing was sold. What few specimens could be spared were freely given away, out it was at the risk of exeiting jealousy in the crowd. Corn was ulso begged, particularly sweet corn, ana when it was impossible to get any, as was genorally the case, kernels were surroptitigusly picked from the ears along the sides of the car, Chere is abund- ant evidence of this kind of petty pitfering. although the guilty parties undoubtedly thought they were justified under tho cir- cumstances. At Massillon a woman picked up an ear of sweet corn from the Douglas county exnibit and carried it away. Mr. \ missed it and offered £10 for i ery. One of the other delegates aiscov the” purloiner on the platform and tho missing ear was re- turned. It was necessary all the whi keep a strict watch on the exhibits, as people were bound to have some ples for seed. A jar of Japaneso buckwheat is to bo sent back to Russell Bros. at Massitlon, O, as they extracted that promise from the dele- pates while the train was there. It was found dificult to keep the peopia moving through the cars in order to give overybody a chance, and the delegates had to constantly hurry thewm along, The train did not travel at night, and every evening tne cars were open. While in Uhio ono enthusi- ast declared that the exhibit was all right, but that Ohio had a squash that Nebraska could not equal. He offered to pay the ex- venses of a deleato to go and see it i caso it should be found that he was wrong. ‘T'he offer was accepted, and the Ohio far- mer had to foot the bill, for whon he pro- duced a vegotable weighing ninety-eight pounds, the Nebraskans coolly led him up and introduced him to the 135-pounder from Merrick county. It took nearly a quart of stimulant to revive him, The delegates worked bard; in fact, thero was 50 much rivalry betwoen them 1n getting hold of the press ropresentatives ana show- ing up the products of tueir own counties that it engendered such a feeling of jealousy that the association committee had to take holdof the matter and make an infloxible rulo that all press men wera .to be at once turned over to the committe and shown through the train by them. This was to avoid any discrimnation, but even then the encrgetic dolegates found an opportunity to get in a few good words for their special charges. Omahans See the Train ‘The train was on exhibition vesterday at Eighth and Jones streets, and will be disman- tled thefirst of the week. The cars will not be open today, as this is the Sunday rule that has been in force during the entire trip, owing to the wishes of some of tho delegates. Of course tho exhibits are not as fresh as when they started, but are remarkably well preserved cousidoring their long trip. ‘The vegetables ure somewhat wilted, buu the cars have beon kept clean by the untir- iug efforts of the delegates. “The extorior decorations were somewhat solled by @& de- posit of soot during a heavy rain, but all in all overything is 10 good shape, aud even at the end of the trip the exhibit is one of which Nebraska may well feel proud.

You pave a few blocks on a street and the folks bayond it want it extended. “Our plans eall forsomo radical changos in the fitting up of a telephone, and made quite astir when we proposed it, but it meets with favor uow. Instead of runming our cables divect from our conduits to a shaft and up to the ton of our building we head them in the basement througn all tne ters and then vun only lizht cables to the switchboards on tho top foo Wo will have to put more cables in the conduits than we need at pres ent but wo will not have to run them farther than the basement, thus doing away with the cost of heavy and éxpensive cables to the top floor.
