HOW WE'LL CELEBRATE
The Columbian Fourth in the Twin
Cities.
A DispI ay in Magnificence and Grand
eur Never before Attempted Here
abOuts-lmprOveme

The Twin City Columbian Fourth of
July celebration this year will be on q
scale OF magniicence and grandeur never
before undertaken in this section of Hi
nois. Plans are already well under way
for putting the Columbian grounds in
shape, he informal dedication of which
this demonstration is to be. The con-
tract OF grading has already been let by
Chairman Davis and work will commence
Monday. Tomorrow morning at the
office OF E. 81. Guyer the contract will be
let for the completion of the grand stand
with the stipulation that the structure
be completed by July Fourth. Then
things will hum at the grounds, and by
the time the great day we celebrate ar
rives everything will be in readiness at
the grounds for the accommodation and
entertainment of the multitudes
which will be drawn hither. The sdver-
Using committee has made provision for
the proper material for advertising the
occasion, and it will be out in due season,
and when it does a few hboring cities
which have stolen our thunder and at
tempted to rival the Twin City celebra-
ton will find that they are not in it. 1t
is on account of the attempts of these
other cities to take advantage of plans
formulated here, that the advertising mat
ter detailing the beauties of the celebra-
ton here-most of which are novel and
different entirely from anything ever at
temgted in the northwest--it is Just as
well it has been somewhat delayed in
coming out.
President Louderback of the street rail-
way system is hurrying the construction
of additional motors and trsilers, so that
the railway facilities on this occasion will
be abundant for all purposes. Mr.
Louderback stated last night that
the double track on Thirty~
Eighth street will be at once extended
around on Seventh avenue ss far as For
ty.third street, and it is rot improbable
that il the Columbian association per-
mits, track will be extended making q
circui. Of the grounds, going north from
Seventh avenue on Forty. third Or Forty
fourth street end to Moline avenue, and
coming down past the old Brooks home-
stead ind tapping the Third avenue line
al Brooks crossing.
The fact that the weather has shown
evidences of settling, and that Moline
avenue is again in condition for work, it
is high time that Edwards & Walsh were
resuming paving operations east of Thir>
ty-eighth street, in conformity with their
promises. The avenue should be paved
as far as Brooks crossing at least, by
the Fourth, and it will be if the contract
ors are disposed to show the spirit of
pride in the city and in their work that is
expected of them.

INTERESTING INCIDENT.

Announcement of Col. Thompson's SD
Birthday Anniversary.
just before the convention begun bust
ness Chauncey Depew arose and an
nounced that Col r. w. Thompson, of
Indiana was celebrating his SD birthday
anniversary. He said: 81 rise to ques-
ton Of privilege, not high privilege but
present privilege. We have present here
among our number a delegate who has
been delegate to every national conven-
ton OF the Republican party since its
inauguration, who has voted for every
president of the United States
for the last sixty years, and who has
served with distinction in the cabinet, who
is today 50 years of age, in full physical
vlgor. While England claims so much
for Mr.. Gladstone because he is So, Ameri.
ca claims. more for Col. Dick Thompson,
of Indiana. We hope he will round his
century and attend during the interven-
Ing period every convention of the Repub-
Hcan party
The odd Man Eloquent" Replies.
Grlffln OF Indiana seconded the motion
The chairman called for the ayes and,
without mentioning the "noes," declared
the motion carrie There was round of
laughter at this. Colonel Thompson rose,
while the convention cheered. Depew
went quickly down the aisle and took one
of Thompson's arms. A c. Dawes, of St.
Joe, Mo-, took the other and together they
escorted him to the platform. Thomson
said 1t made him young again to look
about the convention. He was not half
3d. for he was stimulated by an undaunted
Republican spirit, and By the belief that
that party was to rule the country for
years and years to come. He had learned
his Republicanism from revolutionary
ancestry. They had taught him that the
first principle of Republicanism was to
look after the interests of the people.
they were here, he said, to lay the founIa-
ton of another triumph
First Vote for Henry Clay.
He would not enter into a discussion of
political questions now. He rose to ex-
press his thanks and to promise them that
he would meet them here or elsewhere
four years hence. [Cries of Good" and
applause He had passed through fifteen
presidential campaigns. His first vote for
president was cast for Henry Clay, that
great protectionist, and he hoped thai the
time would come when the country would
vindicate the bill (which bears Your hon
ored name SIR
At this point the electric lights went
out after minutes Pickering, leaving
the speakers figure hardly distinguisha-

heved by the glow from some fifty gas

again in minute, and Thompson finished
his remarks briefly with a eulogy of tn e
