ENJOYING THE FAIR.

special REFLECTOR Correspondence,
CHICAGO, June %, 1898.
Our party is enjoying the Fair very
much, 1t is grand. We meet new
surprises every day, buildings which
we did not know were on the grounds.
The great Ferris wheel started yester-
day. 1t is a wonderful sight and will
probably be literally patronizcd. The
Midway offers many attractions and is
taking in the shekels In way that is
simply surprising. Part Of our num-
Der enjoyed a boat ride yesterday
going over to st. Joe and Benton Har-
Dor in the morning and returning in
the evening. II was very enjoyable.
Mrs. viii Anderson and Miss Rose
Gleissner, OF Abilene, were two OF the
party who were enraptured with the
lake excursion.
OF our party of forty Eve, six have
already left the city and several more
will return to their homes this week.
The stories about extortion upon the
grounds, as far as we have observed,
are nnfounded. There are plenty Of
lunch counters in every one of the
great department buildings and some
OF the State and the foreign buildings
have cafes where you can get anything
from u sandwich and a cup Of coffee to
n porterhouse nj as reasonable rates as
they can be secured at llrstcass restau-
rants in the city. The officials are
apparently doing everything in their
power to make things pleasant and
comfortable for visiting the "Ci,y of
Palaces" The cost of visiting the
great show for ten days, which is as
long time as the average person will
care to remain, need not exceed $50
and may be made much less than that.
Some of our party are securing board
and room for Sl25 day but this is
less than the majority pay. The facili.
ties for reaching the grounds during
the day are generally ample, but at
night after the illuminations are over
every car is crowded almost to suffjca-
tion and some are compelled TO wait
for many minutes.
On the whole, the Fair Is immense
and every person in Dickinson county
should see II. s. NJ. Cook.

"What rate of wages do you expect

"Well, that is in the future. But
1t seems to me we ought to be able to
get at least thirty dollars month and
our board. That is only dollar day,
for farm hand generally works about
