LAKE FRONT PARK AFTER ALL.
Site of the Worlds Fair as Good a
Chosen-A Big Undertaking.

Site of the Worlds Fair as Good as
Chosen-A Big Undertaking.
CHICAGO, June 30-The most important
development Saturday in worlds fair
matters was that Vice President Bryan
was too previous in stating in his
speech at the banquet Thursday night
that the Lake Front park had been def
inately abandoned as a site A meeting
of the directors was held Saturday night
at which a resolution was adopted by q
vote of % to 10 approving the lake front
site and instructing the buildings and
and grounds committee to go ahead with
the necessary preparations, provided the
national commission approves. 1t was
said by Ferd Peck that it was almost
foregone conclusion that the national
commissioners would approve, although
Mr.. Peck voted against the site.
Big Thing in Every Way.
The selection of the site, If the plan is
carried out, means much Tor Chicago. IL
will leave for this city for all time, park
of nearly 500 acres in the heart of the CITY,
where there is only a narrow strip of
ground dignified with the name of park
now. 1t will settle the long standing liti-
cation as to ownership of ground In that
part of the city, which has cost thousands
OF dollars and would have cost thousands
more. 1t will give to the Illinois Central
railway right of way that no one can
dispute and ground to build a fine railway
station upon. And last il will give a
splendid site for the fair, accessible as no
other site is, for all means of transit lead
to and from it, and at no other available
point in the city could large crowds be so
quickly handled.
Cost of reparation.
1t Will cost money-lots of ito pre-
pare it. Millions of cubic yards of cart b
will be required to fill up the lake to the
proper level. and the total expense is esti-
mated at over s., 000,0oO; but the Illinois
Central is to do a big share of the work.
and to pay the city besides 81 500, 600 for
the land IL will obtain by filling and other
wise. Competent engineers are positive
that the work can be done in time. and no
one seems to doubt that the zen
eral government will agree to the plan.
The site will contain nearly twice as many
acres as that on which the Paris exposi-
ton of last year was held.
The National Commissioners
The national commissioners met Satur-
day and elected the following vice presi-
dents: Thomas W. Waller. of Connecticut
first; M. IL. De Young, of Califoria, sec
ond; Davidson b. Penn, of Louisiana.
third; g. W. Allen, of New York. fourth;
A. Is. Andrews, of North Carolina. fifth.
They also resolved in favor of the selection

The man who is qualified by educa
ton, talent and experience to make u
good county officer, says the Inyo Tnde-
pendent, will do far better for himself
and family by devoting himself to
some regular business or profession
than by seeking political office. The
office-seekers IS kept in fever of
anxiety from the day his name comes
before the people AS candidate until
the result of the election is known. IL
he makes personal canvass for votes
it is nearly certain that lie will be
forced to do and say things that will
make him regard himself with con-
tempt. From the day he goes into
office till the day he goes out he is
followed by leeches who regard him
as their legitimate prey, and who
think that as long as he has n dollar
part of il belongs to them. The lying,
meanness and treachery that an office
seeker sees il enough to make him
hold most of mankind in contempt,
and he would do so if it were not for
some who are honest in profession of
support or candid in frankly saying
they will oppose him.

The bridge was 600 feet long and
the trestle l6 to 20 feet high. 1t Is

struck it he gave short whistle and
set the brakes. The train went ahead
about so yards and then went down.
The engine was overturned and al
most buried in the mud. Following
this came the tender, mail and ex-
press car. The smoking car and tour
ist sleepers were all broken to pieces,
and nearly every passenger on the
train was injured.
A train arrived this morning bear
ing the killed and wounded. The
Willamette Hotel Is converted into
temporary hospital. 1t took an hour
to unload two cars OF the unfortun-
ates. The injured number about %,

and bruises to broken limbs. NJ. V.

Mir. Charles A. Jenney, of 59 William street, New York city, has been appointed special agent of thee insurance division oi the eleventh census.

Jenney says: No organizations in the United States have multiplied more rapid. ly in the past ten years than the sick ben. eft, funeral-aid, death-benefit and other kindred societies. As they are generally confined to those who are in the number walks of life, the good they have done is incalculable, carrying substantial aid tc thousands of stricken families and inspir- ing those who are fortunate enough in be ing members with courage which might not exist in their hearts without them. The members of these organizations will be glad to learn that Hon.

The stock went up and up. didn't pay much attention to it, for it was only to help the boys out, you know. Finally, one day I looked at the tape, and that blamed stock had advanced thirty points, Charlie, said I, c,lling one of my boys; go over to my broker and tell him to sell my New England, every share of it. This is get ting to be too much like gambling for me- don't believe in gambling, and that is the reason I sold.
