ST. JOSEPH, No., Nov. 17.-Miss Isabelle
Hastings, of Omaha, Neb., left the Pearl
of Pekin company here Saturday even
ing and went bSme to her parents in
Omaha The cause of Miss Isabelle's de-
parture is somewhat novel and Is made
more so by the fact that she is a very
pretty girl with a wonderfully graceful
figure. She is the daughter OF promi-
nent Omaha family and some months
ago became stage-struck. Her first ap-
pearance was TO be before st. Joseph
audience, and when they arrived here
Mr.. Stephens told her that he would as
sign her to place among the chorus of
"French maids" and that she would
have To appear in tights. She refused
without ceremony.
Cant do it theni" queried the mana
ger.
"No SIR" replied the girl, "f you think
l am going to stand in tights before
every bald headed man in the country
for Sc a week, you are mistaken"
Mr.. Stephens could not use her in any
other part, aud she was forced to leave
the company. She left st. Joseph for
Omaha in the afternoon.

Who Is the Legal Justice?

SEDALIA, Mo-. Nov. 1.-THE legality of
a number of marriages, which have been
solemnized by two of Sedalia's justices
of the peace since June, 1889, is now Sc
riously questioned. Four years ago four
justices were elected; two of them re-
ceived exactly the same number of votes.
The last legislature reduced the number
of justices in Sedalia from four to three,
and the law went into effect ninety days
after. AS Justice Marvin and Justice
Holstead's votes were the same it is a
question which one was legislated out of
Office. Both continued to perform the
marriage ceremony whenever called upon.
Justice Fisher expressed the opinion
Monday that one or the other of these
gentlemen had no right to officiate at a
marriage, and in consequence all cere-
monies performed subsequently to that
date are void.

Conflicting Views Regarding the Place

CHICAGO, Nov. J9.-At the meeting of
the national commissioners of the Worlds
Columbian exposition yesterday a resolu-
ton offered by Commissioner Mckenzie,
of Kentucky, was adopted referring all
questions relating to the site to the regu-
lar standing committee on buildings and
grounds The situation in regard TO site
seems to be nearly as mixed as it was be-
fore the last meeting of the commission.
The local directorate, by decisive ma.
jority, is in favor of holding the principal
part of the fair where the people of this
city, as we'll as those who come from
abroad, can most readily reach the
grounds, and that is unquestionably the
lake front, locality that every street
railway line and all the other railways
practically radiate from.
The Suburban Site.
The national commission, backed (of
course without their connivance) by a
number of real estate dealers who are in
terested in booming the land in the To-
cality, want to make the lake front only a
gateway" and hold most Of the fair
eight miles from the center of the city,
and ten to twelve miles from large por-
ton of the north and west sides, and in
some cases ride of an hour and half
each way.
A Question OF Space.
The advocates OF this latter plan urge
it because of the fact that but 100 acres
of ground can be obtained on the lake
'front.' which is undoubtedly not sufficient
for the whole fair, but abundant for what
the directors desire to place there, which

Perhaps something OF prophetic vision
was given him, and he saw picture OF
what the swampy morass about him
time.
In 1900, Illinois and Indiana were or
ganlzed together into the Indian Terri
tory, with the seat OF government at
Vincennes, Ind. In 1904 frontier mill
tary post was established at Chicago,
and a block fort erected, and named
Fort Dearborn, after Gen. Henry Dear
born.
The same year came John Kinzie, an
Indian trader from st. Joseph, on the
Michigan side Of the lake. He pur-
chased and repaired the old cabin of Au
Sable, residing there with his family.
Upon the breaking out OF the war with
England in 1912 the Indians took to the
war-path, and through their usual
treachery succeeded in massacring over
fifty people at Chicago, including a num-
Der of women and children.
In 1916 the fort was rebuilt, and occu-
pied for twenty-one years. II was de-
molished in 1886.
A number Of people are still living in
Chicago who were there when IL was in
corporated as a city in 1897, and there
are few much older residents.

held. There one may hear many anus

being soon overdone. or the interest OF
the public becoming satisfied, much less
cloyed.
Chicago began life as a city in 1887. 1t
had a population of 4,17O, which, at the
taking of the sixth national census, in
1910, was found To have increased TO
4,479, or about 100 year.
In the fifty years which have elapsed
since the latter date, IL has doubled eight
times, and left margin Of about 50, 900
besides. Taking this item into account,
its people have doubled every six years
since 1870 This advancement by a geo
metrical progression (by multiplication
rather than addition) breaks all the rec
ords of the world, and discounts the
widest dreams OF all the enthusiastic
bubble blowers and boomers who in the
past have predicted her mighty future.
Chicago is now the first city OF the
nation in point of area, the second in the
matter of population, and the third in
nothing OF Importance.
The first white resident of Chicago was
negro from San Domingo, named Jean
Baptiste Point an Sable. This Hiberni-
cism has been attributed TO one William
Caldwell, local celebrity OF later years.
Jean Baptiste was a politician, and that
of no mean order, so far as his ambition
was concerned. His first scheme was to
ingratiate himself with the Indians, be-
come a chief, and. planting a colony of
his own native San Domingoans, rule all
as grand sachem, and attain perhaps
to the title of king. Failing in his am
bition, as scores OF would-be politicians
have, before his time and since, he
abandoned his cabin on the river, with
drew in disgust from tho scene of his de-
feat, and ended his days at Fort Clark,
now the city Of Peoria.
Au Sable arrived in the summer of
1879. Before that time the site OF the
future great city had been several times
visited. Probably the first man TO ar
rive was a missionary priest, Pere James
Marquette, who camo In 1873. Seven
years later arrived an Indian trader,
Robert c. LaSalle, in whose honor was
named the street at the head of which
the Board Of Trade now stands. As
LaSalle and bis companion approached
IN an open boat, he exclaimed: ALREADY

over the devoted city, destroying sixty
acres, or eighteen blocks, in the heart OF
the city, and about "a, 900, 900 Of property.
The "great fire" ruined thousands OF
people, and broke up and forever de-
stroyed no end OF happy homes. So far
as the city was concerned, however, It
proved a substantial benefit. The Chi
cago OF ante-ilre days contained many
handsome and costly buildings, but they
were interspersed with others of poor
kind, the entire effect being in no sense
striking. The Chicago of 1890 is the
finest-built city OF America, and, many
wcll-informed people say, of the world.
Progress and improvement is now
more than ever before the watchword.
Buildings 10 which the Chicagoan point
ed with pride dozen years ago are now
being torn down, to be replaced with
magnificent structures of from twelve 10
sixteen stories in height.
In many regards Chicago leads all
competitors. Its manufactures are
enormous. II is the greatest grain, cat
tie, hog, cured meat, and lumber market
in the world. As railroad center IL has
no rival on the globe. It's system Of
parks and driyeways leads those Of the
entire earth.
1t has one great advantage over the
older cities. This is unlimited space,
which enables industrious and thrifty
workers Of all kinds to possess houses Of
their own. The city at present includes
ia square miles within its limits and
bids fair to extend them before many
years have passed by.

tions Of the Chicago of to-day, with its
LOO, coo people, would require volume
or long series Of articles. After all, writ
