Lincoln Funeral car is on display... Gov't Building has some rare old legal books on display.


Exhibitors have signed a petition objecting to the Agriculture Building closing at 6 P.M. each day. They want to stay open until gates close, so more people can see the exhibits.


Here to force the lights on the Grand Court were turned on at 8:30, but... now will be lighted 1/2 an hour earlier.


Clinton Boyden, Omaha lad of 1, forced his finger into a bicycle that was operated by electricity... He drew back as soon as he could, but not until it had been amputated up to the first joint. The job was done as neatly as though done by a surgeon.


The Montgomery Ward Electric Carriage was on the Midway and was the center of attention. There was great surprise on every face as this mysterious vehicle crept along... under perfect control. It would be impossible for an accident to occur... as it can be stopped instantly... and can dodge and object like a bird.
