SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Association will take the visiting ladies through the principal 
stores of the city. In the afternoon there will be trolley cars 
to take them through the city, South Omaha, Council Bluffs. 
In the evening of September 7 there will either be a theatre 
party or some suitable entertainment, the managers of the 
theatre not knowing at present what play will be there. On 
Thursday the association will adjourn, if possible, about three 
o’clock in the afternoon and the entire association will take 
cars to the Exposition grounds. We have arranged for a large 
building in which to hold our clinics. Dr. G. R. Young, of 
Omaha, has been made chairman by the local committee and 
has this in his charge. Every member of the Nebraska Asso¬ 
ciation has been notified to secure interesting specimens for 
operation, and the clinic is only a block away from the hotel, 
and it is contemplated holding a clinic every morning from 8 to 
9.30, before the general session opens. Another feature of in¬ 
terest is that members attending the association will not have 
to leave the building for noon-day lunch as that has been pro¬ 
vided for. This will greatly facilitate the work of the associa¬ 
tion. Any suggestions which you give will be gratefully re¬ 
ceived. We have a Bureau of Information, of which Dr. 
Ramacciotti, of Omaha, is chairman. It will be located on the 
ground floor of the hotel, and will give all necessary information 
and make announcements. It will give all information in re¬ 
gard to the Exposition, city, State, and regarding time tables 
of the railroads. There will also be a reception committee, con¬ 
sisting of Dr. Everett and myself. I think we are getting 
things in good running order, and I hope you can help us bring 
out a large delegation.” 
Railroad Fares .—The Western Passenger Association an¬ 
nounces a one-and-one-third fare for the round trip from all 
points within its territory, and from the eastern terminal points 
as follows : Chicago, $20 ; St. Louis, $17 ; and St. Paul, $15.75. 
The Central Passenger Association makes an open rate of 80 
per cent, of the first class round trip fare, from the territory east 
of the Mississippi River, north of the Ohio River, and as far 
east as Buffalo and Pittsburg. From the last points named east 
to the Hudson River, the territory of the Trunk Line Associa¬ 
tion, a rate of one and one-third fare on the certificate plan has 
been granted. , 
It is expected that by a concerted effort all the Eastern 
members will form a party, possibly sufficient to fill two 
coaches, and journely pleasantly together to Omaha.
