while preparations for the erection Of
another special building for the ex-

At the same time lumber is being hauled upon

= It will be remembered by those who attend

turers of this city were represented in full
operation. This feature will be Duplicated

rangements were made yesterday for the en-

HOTEL ROBBERY.

The International the Victim This Time
The International hotel was visited, Mon.
day night, by an expert thief, who enriched
himself to the amount of $215.23-the three
cents being a postage stamp. The loser OF
the amount was Mr.. Carpenter, who has 9
lot of cattle at the stock yards for sale. Car.
penter retired at the usual hour, aud got up
at his accustomed time of looking for the
sun e O'Clock A. NJ.
When he went to bed he folded up his
vest and put it under his pillow. When be
got up he found the vest on the floor, and a
hasty examination followed by more care
full search showed that the garment had been
ripped up and the $215.23 was gone.
Immediately alarm was given at the hotel
office. The night watchman was questioned.
he knew of no one having entered the
hotel. The police were then informed, and
Sergeant Walsh made an examination of
the premises. He soon discovered that the
robbery was the work of professional, for
the impress of burglars. nippers was found
on the key of the door of Carpenters room.
Beyond this no other trace of burglar or the
manner of the robbery was discovered.
Doubtless the operator was guest of the
hotel, and managed his work wholly from
the inside.

Emigrants Anxious to Return to Their
Old Homes.
Sr. LOUIS, Aug. 19.-The colored excursion
lists who passed through here few days ago
from various points in Mississippi, en- route to
Kansas, returned this afternoon and will leave
for their homes tomorrow. II. J. Hubbard,
of GAINESVILLE, Miss, who accompanied the
party, says the trip was very pleasant and they
were we'll treated wherever they went. He
thinks Kansas magnificent country. bnt does
not think it adapted for colored men
born and reared in the South.
Those that have money ought to take up land
and provide living for themselves till they
could raise crops. He thinks they might get
along, but he says it is no place for those not
supplied. Regarding the emigrants already in
Kansas, he says q great many of them are
hanging about the cities and towns in the east
ern part Of the State, and their condition is
bad. The emigrants generally fully realize the
fact that they must work for a
he believes large number of them would
gladly return to their homes if they could oh
tain free transportation or had the money to
procure tickets. About half dozen of the
party remained in Kansas with relatives, but
they brought back more than that number and
would have brought hundreds of them had
there been room to accommodate them on the
train. MIR. Hubbard thinks the trip will be
the means of stopping tho exodus from the
South for some time at least, for many colored
men with the party are men of influence in
their localities, and he is satisfied their account
Of Kansas and the conditian of the colored
people now there will deter others from leay.

Interviews with number of colored men and
several whites Of the party ELECTED about the
same general opinion that while Kansas is a
splendid country, it would be foolish for agri-
culturists to go there unless they were pro.
vided with money.or other means to support

people cannot stand the rigors of Kansas win
tiers and the sudden changes of weather which
occur in that State. The weight of testimony
is decidedly against the emigration of poor ne
groes to Kansas.
