Gates Now Aiar,


The Columbian Exposition is a reality.
President Cleveland has touched the
button, the world had already done the
rest. This greatest of all great fairs is
now open to the public in all its splen-
dor and international magniffcence.
Gorgeous in her festal decorations.
radiant with the life and spirit of her
people and the myriad hosts Of visitors
from many lands, Chicago has grace
fully celebrated this browning event Of
her marvellous history, and in fitting
manner received her distinguished
guests who graced that notable occa-
sion. The language of the order of ex-
ercises conveys no thought of the pic
turesque grandeur that made the day a
notable one in the worlds history-a
day upon which the nations of earth as
semble1 together in a city, itself one Of
the wonders Of the century, and jointly
took account Of stock to discover how

penditure entailed by the various
governments he said the government
had appropriated about $4,000, 90, the
various States sum in excess of S.
600, 600, and the foreign nations another
S., 100000. Chicago and it's citizens
besides contributing 100000 fur

total expenditures on account of the
Fair exceed $1O0, 1000. He expressed
his obligation to the thousands of ex-

and, closing, expressed the hope that
the Exposition may inaugurate new
era of normal and material progress
and fervent aspiration that the asso-
citation Of the nations here may secure
not only warmer and stronger friend
ships, but lasting peace throughout the
world.
1t was now the turn of the President
of the United States to present himself,
and as he slowly arose from his seat
and swept his eyes first over the occu-
pants of the platform and then over
one of the greatest audiences that ever
man faced there went up a cheer that
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1893-05-13

President Cleveland and members Of
the Cabinet and their ladies arrived at
the same depot an hour later, and the
| same body of troops that had escorted
the duke met and escorted the Presi-
dents party to the Lexington. Formal
reception Of President Cleveland to the
State, the city, and the Worlds Fair
was extended before the arrival at the
depot by Governor Altgeld, Mayor Har-
rison and Director General Davis, who
met the Presidential train at the State
line and accompanied them to the city.
To jackson Park.
Monday morning bright and early the
movement toward Jackson Park began.
Carriages were ordered for the ducal
party at the Auditorium at o'clock.
AS early as $50. accompanied by the
citizens committee representing the
State Department and a proper military
escort, the ducal party moved south on
Michigan boulevard. At the Lexington
the ducal party joined the Presidential
party, and the procession, composed Of
regiments of troops, the Chicago Hus-
sars, distinguished guests in carriages,
members of the national commission
and the local board, and host of citi-
Zens and visitors, moved toward Jackson
Park.
The formal opening exercises took
place on platform erected in front Of
the Administration Building, where
nearly 100, 900 people could witness the
proceedings, even if they couldn't hear
the speeches. The place Of holding
these exercises was determined upon
after long contention between two fac
tions of the local directors. one Of
which desired to have the ceremonies
held in the small hall in the presence
of about 1000 invited guests.
The Board Of Control suddenly
concluded, however, that it had some
thing to say concerning the opening
programme, and President Palmer, Dr.
rector General Davis and Secretary
Dickinson, by few strokes Of the pen,
upset the plans of the Exposition
Ceremonies Committee. At the east
! front of the Administration Building
! and in the shadow of it's gilded dome, a
great platform was accordingly erected.
| The large or main platform had seating
capacity for nearly 2,0CO persons.
In front of them was a
smaller platform for President Cleve-
land, the Duke of Veragua and suite,
the Presidents Cabinet, foreign COM
missioners and other guests of honor,
numbering about sixty in all. To the
right and left of the Presidents stand
were seats for about $50 members of
| the press. and back Of all was the or
chestra. Among the distinguished
| guests were members of the Diplomatic
Corps, Judges of the Supreme Court,
members of Congress, Governors Of
States, National Commissioners, World s
Fair Directors, members of tho Board
of Lady Managers, members of the Illi-
nois Legislature, Chicago City Council,
members of the Board Of Education,
Park Commissioners and select list of
dignitaries, social, collegiate and off,
cial.

activity Of the people and their evident
delight as the day approached, in the
settled purpose of every citizen of Chi
cago to make the occasion one Of ap-
propriate significance and personal
pride, was contained the promise of q
day as unprecedented in its interest
and pleasure as it will be in its in
fiuence upon the future development OF
the world.
Beginning with Friday great events
followed each other In rapid succession.
It was eminently fitting that the arrival
of the old liberty bell, that in truth

vast exposition Is set in motion, so at the same
instant let our hopes and aspirations awaken
forces which In all time to come shall influ-
ence the welfare, the dignity, and the freedom
of mankind.
AS the President was concluding the
final sentence his eyes wandered to the
table that was close at his left hand.
Upon this was the button the pressure
upon which was to start the machinery
and make the opening of the Exposition
an accomplished fact. It was an or
binary form of Victor telegraph Key,
such as is in use in most telegraph Of
fees, except that it was of gold instead
of steel, and a button Of ivory in
stead of bone. 1t rested upon pedes-
tai upholstered in navy blue and golden
yellow plush and on the sides of the
lower tier, in silver letters, were the sig
nificant dates 1892 and 1893. As the
last words fell from the Presidents lips
he pressed his finger upon the button.
This was the signal for demonstration
"a series of demonstrations, in fact
difficult of imagination and infinitely
more so of description. At one and the
same instant the audience burst into q
laundering shout, the orchestra pealed
forth the strains Of the Hallelujah
chorus, the wheels of the great Allis
engine in Machinery Hall commenced
to revolve, the electric fountains
in the lagoon threw their torrents
toward the sky, a flood OF water
gushed forth from the MacMonnies
fountain and rolled back again in the
basin, the thunder of artillery came
from the vessels In the lake, the chimes
in Manufactures Hall and on the Ger

Troops Ordered Out.

There is an uneasy, excited feeling
among the Navajo Indians, especially
along the northern border Of the reser-
walton. One white man had been MUIR
dered, and, in the opinion of Agent
Plummer, unless the intention of the
Government to exert its authority was
made known, the valley would become
uninhabitable to white settlers. He
asked that four troops Of cavalry and
two companies OF infantry be sent into
that section.
The War Department telegraphed
Gen. McCook, Department of Arizona,
to send troops Immediately to the scene
Of trouble.

and natives alike joined in the acclaim
to the highest representative of the
sovereign people of the republic.
There was a futter of white hand
kerchiefs from the ladies' side
of the platform, and instantly it
was taken up by the thousands of the
sex that occupied the gondolas and
launches on the water far in the dis

An Enemy Baf1ed.

There is an enemy with whom thousands
are familiar all their lives, because they are
born with a tendency to biliousness. With
this enemy they are constantly battling
with Intellectual weapons. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters will battle it. Mere pur-
gatives will not reform disordered condi-
ton OF the liver Indicated, not by constipa-
ton alone, but also by sick headaches, yell
lowness of the skin and eye balls, nausea,
furred tongue and uneasiness, more par
tioularly upon pressure on the right side,
upon and below the short ribs. Avoid
drastic purgatives which grippe and weaken
the intestiDes. and substitute this world
famous anti-bilious cordial, which like
wise removes malaria, stomaehic and kid
ney complaints, rheumatism and nervous
ness. AS laxative OF the bowels, painless
but effectual, it improves appetite, sleep
and the ability TO digest, and possesses the
additional advantage OF a standard tonic.
