The supposillon was that while %
cents would not admit one into the Ex-
position building. the races, the concerts,
the art gallery, Buffalo Bill and the dog
show, yet it was thought that 25 cents
would admit one to any part of the main
building. But it is not so. 70 go at any
time In the tower at The northwest cor
ner, where a hundred os people or so
can see outdoors en- the four sides, %
cents extra is charged. This may
possibly be excused on the ground that
Buffalo Bill did not want people In a
place to see his show unless he was the
beneficiary. But what about charging
people % cents extra to go IN Exposition

Ten minutes at the outside will obscure
all view, yet plscards all over the build
ing call peoples attention to this small
upstairs room as the best place to see
the start for % cents. The price is Lot
stated on the placard, but it is charged
at the staircase all the same.
