SHOULD YOU GO, PREPARE TO
STAY A WEEK AND ENJOY
THE SIGHTS.
The Missouri Editors Having Grand
TIme-Sehtiment In Chicago over
the Anarchists' Pardan-Mex-
leans ut the Great Fair.

Fair and are going to see 1t in good
shape. Headquarters have been
opened at the Hotel Mecca and
ten-day Fair tickets have been furn-
ished by Maj. Handy to each editor
and his family. The Midway
Plaisance entertainments and the
theatres have also complimented
them.
The exercises at Clinton closed
with a grand banquet, after which
the party came to Chicago on a
special, stopping at Hannibal for
breakfast, where beautiful bouquets
were presented to each member of
the party with the compliments OF
the Hannibal Journal. Hon. John
A. Knott, editor of that paper, was
unanimously elected president for
next year and he will make a good
one. R. M. White, of the LEDGER,
was reelected corresponding secre-
tary. The meeting next year will
be at Lebanon and Secretary White
will endeavor to arrange an excur-
sion to the city of Old Mexico.
Nat Hutton, son of Col. Hutton,
is in Chicago on the Times, and is
one of the leading young writer's On
It's staff. Nat takes to journalism
like duck to water, and his Mex
leo friends should be proud of his
success.
There will be a banquet at the
Missouri building tomorrow in
honor of the visiting editors and a
pleasant time is anticipated.
The Fair is now in full blast and
the exhibits are all complete. There
were only 10000 people who paid
to go to the Fair Sunday. This is
taken as rebuke to those who ar
ranged to have it open on Sunday.
It was claimed that there would be
two or three hundred, thousand
present every Sunday. 1t may not
"pay" as well as expected. There
is plenty of room at the hotels and
plenty to eat cheap. Most of the
extortionate prices have been done
away with and there is no need to
wait longer. When you come to
the Fair don't look for our exhibits
in the Missouri building. The ex-
hibits from Missouri are in the de-
partment buildings with those from
other states, with which they COM
pare very favorably. The Missouri
building is headquarters for Mis-
sourians but does not contain the
exhibits. Many come here and go
away saying missouri has no ex-
hibits" because they did not know
where to look for them.
| While in Clinton | had the pleas.
ure of meeting "Jack" Marshall,
an old Mexico boy, who is now a
prosperous farmer in Henry county.
He said he was not going to Chicago
to the Fair but preferred to come to
Mexico to the Fair, and would
hardly believe the writer when in.
formed that the Mexico Fair was
non est or worse.
| We would suggest to those who
are coming TO the Fair to arrange tt
stay at least a week. You will spenC
one day wandering around and il
looking at everything. You will
then get down to work and g
through each building thoroughly
and see everything. 1t will take
you at least week or ten days t.
do this satisfactorily. 1t will pay
you to come to the Fair even if yor
have to economize some to NEE
the expense.
THE ANARCHISTS PARDoNED.
For an hour or SO, at least, tht
Worlds Fair occupies a secondary
place in the minds of the people o
Chicago. Altgeld has pardoned tn,
anarchists. Some of the people en-
dorse this action and some con
denim it. Hardly any one approves
his going out of the way to criticist
the courts which conducted thu
; famous trials. One thing, we think
is sure, and that is, the result ofthis
trial stamps out of existence for
ever, in this country at least, the
vicious doctrines taught by Spie:
and others.
Chicago is this year a nationa
trysting place, so to speak. Friends
and relatives from all over the coun
try are meeting here at the Fair an6
holding reunions. While wanderins
through the Woman's building yes.
terday | met Prof. Mcmillan anG
wife, Miss Annie Spence and Miss
Matte Sullinger. Prof. Mcmillan
was examining display of dolls
dressed in their various costumes
worn since the days Of Mother Eve
while his ladies were in ecstacies
over the lace displays in the French
exhibit. They are nicely located in
Chicago and are having most en-.
joyable visit. The ladies could no,
have better escort, as Prof. Nc.
MILAN knows what is worth seeing
and knows how to see it to the bes,
advantage.
