carry out the object of the enterprise.
The committee of commissioners were

committee of exhibitors go as a separate
body. The object is. however, the same.

signed by both Republicans and Demo

thing, the Republicans give as reason for
signing it that Speer is a Democrat, while
the Democrats place their names on the
paper, assigning as a reason that Speei' is
a Republican. Others have signed The

BIG STEALS IN KENTUCKY.

CHICAGO, Feb. GA special from Frank

ton of the records of the State of Ken
lucky shows beyond question that sys-
tenn of robbery has been carried on for 10
years past which rivals anything ever

evident that the amount stolen will not
fall far short of 100000. 1t is not
easy to get at the details by
which the plunderers secured their spOis.
but simple set of figures readily estab-
fishes the fact that deficit of that mag
nitude exists. A study of the books
shows that in the department of criminal
prosecutions the steal has reached at
least a million in fifteen years. In the
cost of keeping idiots during the same
time there has been a steal of $500. 900.
while in other expenditures which have
not been examined closely, there are in
dicatiOns of other cIoOkedness which NAV
add 100000 more to the robbery. 1t is
