after the close Of the exposition. The
lot on which the structure stands is
ninety by one hundred and fifty feet.
The lease for year cost five thousand
five hundred dollars. Arrangements
have been made for different classes
The lower floor contains an auditorium
proper, called the intermediate depart
ment, Three wings reach out from this,
in which are respectively the primary,
junior and senior departm ents
A series of curtains makes it possible
to throw all four rooms into one. From
each there is good view of tho plat
form, which is situated in the rear of
the building. Above is a gallery. The
entire seating capacity will be twelve

which may be used as reading room.
1t will be occupied by the American
Bible society. A rare exhibit of Bibles,
including many old manuscripts, will
here be shown.
The building was erected by contri-
button from Sunday school workers
throughout the United States and Can
ada. The whole expense will be twen-
ty thousand dollars, of which eighteen
thousand dollars has been subscribed
for. From time to time Sunday school
conferences will here be held
Several foreign buildings have just
been dedicated, among them being
those of Ceylon, Venezuela and Costa
Rica. That of Ceylon on the lake
front to the north of Germany's build
ing is one of the most curious structures
at the fair. 1t is constructed of ma
terial brought from Ceylon and in the
doorways, steps and balustrades are
some rare pieces of native carving
Among the exhibits are a great many
odd articles formed of native woods
and grasses, and among the valuables
of the display are some very fine speci-
mers of filigree work in silver and cop
per.
The buildings of Venezuela and Costa
Rica are both marvels of excellence
architecturally and they both contain
many articles of rare interest The
I commissioners who have these buildings
in charge are exceedingly affable and
courteous and do their best to make all
visitors thoroughly at home.
A MOST interesting exhibit in the Illi-
nois building is the farm scene on the
northwest wall, showing the fields OF
grain, fences, barns, wagons, cattle and
all the accessories Of well kept farm in
the Prairie state, all done in grasses,
seeds, grain and corn husks and stalks.

ited but when night came there was
racket and fireworks enough to satisfy
the wishes of the most hilarious cele-
brator ON the grounds. The pyrotech-
MICS were all in the charge of author
lied persons who were skilled in their
use, and they were confined to the
water front where they were not likely
to endanger the precious buildings of
the White City. The pieces displayed
were some of the finest creations
which those skilled in pyrotechnics
were capable of putting together, and
the crowd of people that witnessed the
magnificent spectacle must have num-
bered nearly two hundred thousand.
The exercises began with speech
making, singing, ETC., all Of which at

At the conclusion OF she exercises,

strange sight was presented in the out

others quickly took the places OF the

many of the Fourth of July visitors did

A Valuable Relic.

In the last month of her life Mary
Queen of Scots amused herself making
bed quilt. Upon background of
red, green and black silk she worked
various designs with silk thread of
bright colors. In several places she at
tempted embroidered portraits of noted
characters of her time. The resem-
blances, however, are striking This
quilt was the gift of the queen to a
maid of honor who remained with her
through loss of power aud friends.
The quilt has been carefully treasured
by the descendants of the one to whom
1t was given. 1t was brought by them
to this country, and one of them, Sen
ator John Bidlake, OF South Dakota.

charge of something with bang to it,
and the louder the bang the greater the

THE st. Paul Dispatch publishes a
digest of observations made by pro-
minent men in their tours through
the state, showing that the crops Of
Minnesota on the whole are good. In
some sections of the state the wheat
crop is lighter than last year, but the
grade is reported better. Corn and
potatoes are reported as never better.
In speaking of Blue Earth County the
report says: SIN Blue Earth county

A PEN PICTURE.
An Exact Description of Typical case
of Chronic Malaria.

A yellow skin, a sallow complexion,
dark circles about the eyes, furred
tongue with bad breath, bitter taste
and bad diges tion, are sure signs of
malaria. Not exactly sick, but
wretched; not quite delirious, but got
the blues badly; not confined to the
bed, but not fit for business; losing
flesh, losing business, losing all interest
in everything; dizzy after STOPPING,
short of breath on slight exertion,
weak and trembly. easily fatigued,
restless, nervous, sleepless. Nothing
but malaria can so completely undo a
person without putting him to bed;
nothing else can so irresistably dem
oralize mind and body.
There is only one cure. Everybody
who has had experience with malaria
know what the cure is. Pe-ru-na-
exactly hits the case. 1t not only
cleans the blood of all malarlal
poison, but it promptly mitigates the
bad symptoms and leaves the brain
clear and nerves steady. 1t cures
without delay, without exception, and
without any ill effect whatever.

MAKE A FINAL APPEAL.

The chances for the repeal OF the
purchase clause of the Sherman act
seem to grow brighter every day. NC
doubt the pressure of sentiment from
the country has had much to do with
this. Every business man, and every
man interested in a sound financial
condition ought to write to the mem
Der from his district and the SEN
ators from his state, urging uncondl'
tional repeal. No matter if they are
all right upon the question, the pres
sure in favor thereof, will have gooo
effect upon the weaker members.
Regarding this matter and also the
fact that repeal will tend to strength
en- confidence and open the way fol
international bimetalism, Mr.. John
Claflin, of H. B. Clafiin & Co., New
York, in circular letter, for which
we are indebted to J.B. & D.Richards
of this city, says:
We believe the present panic can be
checked in one way only. namely Dy
the repeal of the silver purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. Heavy
imports of gold, and new issues OF
bank notes seem to have no apprecla
BILE effect on the monetary situation
The gold and banknOtes disappear
Vast amounts of currency are locked
up by country banks and boarded by
individuals who fear greater disaster
than has yet befallen. The repeal OF
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act will speedily allay all fear, and
will release the currency now most
urgently needed to move the crops
Nothing else will accomplish this re-
suit without disastrous delay.
Will you not use every effort Dy
personal persuasion, by letter or DJ
telegraph, to induce your representa-
tive to act promptly and to relieve the
country from the unprecedented feal
which now prostrates all enterprises
and will soon render destitute many
thousands of working men. 1t is Of
the utmost Importance that the vote
in the house sOf representatives or
August 2Sth should result in a large
majority for repeal. A large majority
would surely stimulate the senate tC
prompt and favorable action
We thoroughly believe that in the
repeal of the Sherman act lies the
best hope of international bimetallSm
the only practical method of insurlne
for the future a general use of silver
| as a money metal of the world.

Speaking of the suggestion that
was made for the banks OF the Twin
cities to issue clearing house certln-
Gates to be used to help move the
crops of the northwest this fall, the
Pioneer Press says:
No one has yet filed any valid ground
of objection TO the plan proposed py
leading banker of ST. Paul for. moving
the crops, and yet it seems to nave
fallen through from the lack or CO.
operation on the part OF the banks,
iobbers and railroad companies. This
plan proposed the issue OF clearing
house certificates on the basis OF Sc
curity tried so successfully In New
York. but in sums of S. to $40, to CIR
culate as currency to pay the FARMERS
for their wheat, the banks issuing 10
pay the clearing house committee D
per cent. and to lend them at 8 per
cent. There is no doubt that II the
,, iObbers would take them from Jne
country merchants, and the rallrOads
for freight, the whole problem or
moving the crops would be solved. Has
any one better plan to offer, or snail
all these classes who are in Such vital
need of some method of relief SIT Win
| folded hands and assist the prevailing
| paralysis with their own inertia!
If public sentiment would do any
thing toward bringing such plan 10
a successful fruitage, it ought to De
crystaliZed at once and brought TO
bear with it's full pressure. There
may be a better way, but it has not
been revealed as yet. The plan sug-
gested seems to be safe one, Woulo
answer the purpose well, and ought
to be put into effect. Anything that
will add to the prosperity of the north,

Horses, proud stepping and high

came the fleet footed Kentucky steeds
with shiney satin-like coats. There
were horses from every state In Gne
