NEBRASKA WILL OPEN

DEDICATION OF HER STATE HALL.

Preparations for Travelers' Protective Association Day at the Fiar--Good Reasons for Expecting Lower Rates by Railroad in the Near Future.

To-morrow will be Nebraska day at the world's fair. The state building will be dedicated with appropriate ceremonies. Governor Crounse will receive the building in behalf of the state from Commissioner General Joseph Garneau, Jr., and in turn will dedicate it to the uses for which it was erected. There will be music and speechmaking and other exercises of a typical western nature. Buffalo Bill and his band of cowboys and Indians, numbering 200, will be on hand as an escort for Governor Crounse and his staff.

The Nebraska building is the first of the state buildings to be reached at the Fifty-seventh street entrance to the fair grounds. It has not only a commanding position, but is in every way a credit to the enterprising transmissouri commonwealth. Nebraska makes a fine showing in the general departments of the exposition, and has special pavilions in such buildings as agriculture, forestry, dairy, horticulture and the apiary. In the state building there is also a collection of grains and other products of the state. These are arranged by counties. The second story of the building has reception and retiring rooms for ladies and gentlemen. In a large room upstairs there is an Indian tepee and a pair of stuffed buffaloes. The popular interest in the latter exhibit has been so great that it has been necessary to put a railing around it. Visitors wanted to peer into the teepe and handle the buffaloes, to see if they were real. There is one room on the second floor completely furnished and decorated by Nebraska women which contains various articles of skilled handiwork. To the agriculturist, however, the center of attraction is the large room on the lower floor, containing the exhibit of cereals. "Corn is King" and "Sugar is Queen" are two prominent mottoes that are worked in native grasses. The building contains a reading-room, postoffice and other conveniences for Nebraskans. There will be a room upstairs set apart for Nebraska people who bring their lunches to the fair in baskets.

Procession to the Building.

To-morrow Governor Crounse will be escorted from the Woodlawn station by Buffalo Bill and his cowboys and Indians, the latter representing Nebraska in the early days Colonel Cody calls himself a Nebraskan, and a portion of his troops hail from the same state. On arriving at the state building there will be addresses by the governor and other prominent state officials. Congressman W. J. Bryan, ex-Governor R. T. Furnas and Senator Allen are expected to be present. Later the visitors will march to the agricultural building, where the Nebraska section will be opened to the public. The procession will march past administration building and will pay especial honor to her royal highness the Infanta [Eulali?] and suite. Mrs. Caroline Brooks will give public exhibition of butter-making during the day at the state building. A large number of Nebraskans from Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings and other cities in the state are expected.
