Or. Blalock's Promises-Eight Days
Until the Final Break-Up.


CHICAGO, Oct. s3.-[Special. l--As crows
fiy TO where the meat is gathered, so are
flying to Chicago those numerous gentle
men who hope to gain something from the
breakup of the state exhibit. Judge w.
ID. Wood and Prof. o. b. Johnson. of the
board of regents; President C. X. Conncrs.
Of the agricultural college. and others are
either here or on their way here. Ii ap-
pears that most of the exhibit has been
promised" by DR.. b aiock to President
Connors. OF the agricultural college. AT
present the doctor has an itch for promis-
ing. He has promised the state building
and its contents 20 Director General DAVIS,
to the Chicago museum. 10 the agricul-
tural college, and is now on the lookout
for somebody else to promise it to. AS
matter of fact, he is premature. Gov. Nc
Graw viii supervise the breaking-up of the
exhibit, and il is not all cut and dried as
to where it is going. DIR. BIalock will have
no more say than any other member Of the
board as to where ii shall 60.
Apropos of the coming here of Judge
Wood and Prof. Johnson, when these dis
tinguished gentlemen arrived at Wilson
Creek, in Douglas county. Wash, the for
mer sent the following dispatch to En-
Meany: "Prof Johnson and ] arrive
Saturday night. Answer. w. ID. WooD."
This rather staggered Meany. for he had
not contemplated general reception, but
he wired back: God bless you. IL is
well TO be here. Ed s. MEASY." 1t was
wired collect" and il is presumed the
gentlemen in question will charge that
collection up to their expenses. What
they wanted Meany to answer back is rs
yet unknown. Chicago was still at the old
stand, and there was no reason to believe
that il would move before they got here.
The incident is causing q general laugh
here at the expense of the worthy and i'm
portant regents.
Dr. BIalocs's hasty action in causing the
arrest of Zion Etdred. nephew of Tom
Cayanaugh, for helping himself to pear
has gained for the president of the state
board the dislike of those connected with
the building. Conversations are carried
on loud enough for the doctor to hear, of
the following tenor:
sLook out, now; Brown win call the
patrol"
.,why9'
"well. you stole some pears last night"
In fact, it seems to be the thing to roast
the doctor on this proposition. Legally
the matter has been dropped, but Elon
Esdred and Dr. Blalock do not speak as
they pass By. Royal Dye. who played the
sneak In the matter. has been appointed TO
MACE on the Columbian Guards, whether
through DIR. Bialock's influence or not is
unknown.
