Wide Open Gates.

Tie gates of the Worlds fair were
open yesterday and 100000 visitors at
tended. If drizzlirg rain had not set
in, the attendance would undoubtedly
have been much larger. The weather
was cold and raw in addition, but thous-
ands of artisans and laborers of all kinds
were present with their families. Many
of the state buildings were open. Among
them were Illinois, California, Wisconsin,
Colorado, Maine, Iowa, Idaho, Montana,
Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, Washing
ton, Minnesota, Florida. Arizona, New
Mexico, Ohio, Wyoming. Eight state
buildings were closed because unfinished.
The state buildings closed were: Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire,
Vermont, South Dakota, North Dakota,
Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New York,
Missouri. Ten were closed, fifteen open,
and eight unfinished. United States
government building was closed. Saloons
and hotel bars down town we're practi
cally deserted today. Since the opening
of the fair, business with them has been
so rushing on Sundays that extra bar
keepers were employed IN many of them
in order to attend to the extra Sunday
business. Yesterday, however, they had
little to do and the greater part of the
day they we're idle.

No DAMAGES Allowed.

In the case of Whitford VS.. Meacham,
tried before Judge Winchester yesterday
at Bismarck, the judge directed verdict
to be rendered IN favor of the defendant.
Plaintiff sued for $500 damages alleged
to have arisen from Misrepresentation
said to have been made by Mr.. Meacham
as right of way agent for the 500 road;
misrepresentation consisting of state
ments concerning the course the 500
road took across plaintiffs land. Col.
Whitford gave a contract for the right
of way but it was held good only for
right Of way along the course the road
had then laid out. and the road having
changed its course afterwards, the judge
held that the plaintiff had not been
injured by giving the contract. The
defendants statement was not brought
out, and none of his witnesses examined,
the Judge directing verdict on the close
of the plaintiffs case. Mr.. Camp repre-
sented Mr.. Meachan and Messrs. Newton
and Glaspell the defendant. Plaintiff
gave notice of appeal. The prospect is
that the railroad company will be made a
party IN the next suit.

Accepted the Offer.

Prof. Baskerville, who for about three
years has been president OF the James
town college, has decided to accept an
other position, rendered him some weeks
ago, and will leave with his family next
week for Goodwill, s.. D., where he will
be located as superintendent of the
South Dakota Presbytery and Mission
schools. The salary attached was one
inducement to accept the offer; COM
Portable home and other inducements,
are also included. Mr.. Bsskervllle's
duties will be of financial and general
supervisory nature, in connection with
the affairs OF the presbytery. Goodwill,
his headquarters, is in Roberts county
near the Sisseton reservation, and por-
ton OF his duties will be to look after the
Indian school interests Of the presby tory.
The departure Of President and Mrs.
Baskerville will be greatly regretted by
large circle Of friends. They have been
unremitting IN furthering the interests
of the new educational institution OF
which they have had charge, and it will
be difficult matter to replace their SER
wees.

From the FAIR.

Mayor Steele returned yesterday from a
visit to Chicago and eastern points. AS
to the Worlds fair he says that while
the exhibits are not yet finished, either
as to buildings or display, yet there is
enough to tax the sight seeing capacity
OF anyone. During three days visit to
the grounds nothing beyond gaining
general view OF the exhibition was at
tempted.
Cashier Webster also returned TO-DAY,
after several weeks absence. He says:
II think the greatest mistake people
make is in trying to get lodgings near
the grounds. It is not difficult to get
back or forth from the city proper, and
will not be as lnconvenient as many be-
lieve. had quarters on Michigan ave-
nue., not far from the center Of the city,

A Mysterious Case.

a Wednesday evening at about dusk.
Julius Maze Of Montpelier, made an un-
expected discovery while fishing in the
James river, near the wagon bridge To-
Gated west Of the Northern Pacific depot.
What appeared to be the body of cat
floating in the river, among the branches
Of some willows, proved upon inspection
to be the body of child apparently
about two weeks old. Word was i'm
mediately sent to Coroner Thorold, who,
with Constable Giese, went to the scene
yesterday morning to impannel jury.
The body had apparently been in the
river for three or four months, as it was
partly decomposed. The sex of the
child was not ascertained. A jury con-
sisting of E. L. Heath, John G. Updyke
and Jacob Smith was impannelled. The
verdict of the jury was that
the child came to it's death
by some felon,ous means unknown to
them. The body was inferred in the
cemetery at Montpelier. No marks Of
violence could be discovered upon the
remains, but it was supposed that the
body had been placed under the ice and
when the river broke up had been
carried down to where found lodged IN
the willows. No suspicious occurrence OF
the disappearance OF child in that
ueiphborhood can be connected in any
manner with this case and it remains a
mystery to be unrayelled. During the
break up of the river it is possible that
the body may have been carried many
miles while in a frozen state and may
have been in the water longer time.
possibly, than even four months.

Market Days.

The dates for the market days to be
held in this city, are Wednesday, June
7th, and each second Wednesday there.
after until October 18th. The second
market day will be held on June 2lst;
the third and fourth July 5th and 10Th,
August End the fifth, and so on.
These market days are for farmers and
others, to get together as much property
and produce of various kinds as possible
to sell, exchange or auction off. Farm
products, live stock, machinery and SO
on, are all proper articles which will be
brought to the grounds.
Some one had to start this market day
enterprise and so the German Agricnl.
tural Association undertook the work.
All other farmers are, of course, invited
and expected to be present in order to
make the day success. The German
farmers are by no means alone in desir-
ing the market days to succeed. The
members of the Farmers alliance are
particularly invited to come as we'll as
any man who has anything to
sell, buy, or exchange. People bringing
in second-han goods Of any kind can
have them auctioned of at very slight
expense, which will be small percentage
on the price obtained.
There are no charges to the grounds,
which are located in the vacant block
opposite the Farmers Home" on Second
street south. There is plenty of water
for stock, and there will be sheds. posts
with rails to tie horses and stock to, and
a stand IN the middle for auct1oneers. It
is expected that if the market days are
success, that sheds will be built all
around the grounds. Merchants and
others IN the city have literally contrib
uted toward getting the enterprise under
way.
Every farmer is asked to remember the
dates, and urged to come and bring his
family and whatever he may have to dis.
pose of.
Arrangements have been made for live
stock, whereby they can be kept at rea-
sonable rates until the next market day.

Fun With the Trolley Currcnt

Froiu the Springfield Daily Republican.
People in the neighborhood of the oo-ro-
or Main and State streets had some excita-
ment yesterday afternoon. A trolley SUNNY
wire IN some way broke away from the in
sulator and came in contact with the iron
pole. The electric fluid soon reached the
sidewalk and filled the Icy bricks. SO that
several persons received severe shocks.
For while, as the first victims watched
for the ones who might follow, there was
lots OF fun. A man would come along. and.
as he reached the limits of the electricitv's
force. would stop and look down to see what
had struck him. A step forward and an
other severe shock, and he would grow pale.
and all sorts of awful things began to rush
on him. Dire diseases which began by such
awful symptoms, the victim would reason

and on to the charmed walk. Then came a
howl of wild anguish and surprise and the
dog tried to leave. But he couldn't; the
harder he tried the closer he was drawn to-

FROM Life.
There's no doubt that foot ball as played
today is a most scientific game. How to
arrange ton OF youthful flesh. bone and
muscle so that 1t shall drive an inflated
ball to given point. Notwithstanding the
opposition of another ton of youthful HUI
manity. is a most interesting problem. The
captains and professors of the game study
for hours over this question and evolve
some very interesting tactics for the use
OF the material at their command
To the public, and especially to the
friends and relatives Of the youthful COM
ronents OF these masses. there is coming
belief that not enough attention is paid
to the safety of the eleven units. Each
Of the eleven may be son or a brother
whose future usefulness may be impaired
by considering him too much as a unit OF
force and too little as human being.
Public sentiment Is against the coddline
OF boys, but Ii is also against making a
shortened leg or dislocated vertebrae proba
Bile adtuncts of a liberal education.
All Life would say to its foot ball friends
Is that IL they care for the permanent popu-
lartty of their game they must make it as
little brutal as possible. One thing is GER
tain-the referee should have autocratic
power. and should use it. to rule out OF
foot ball playing permanently and for all
time any player who shows even a tendency
to smuggling tactics.

A Way Provided for Sharing Christ

I'VE choose this time because 1t is a time
Of all others when want is keenly felt and
abundance rejoices. What shall I put you
down for?"
Maybe not exactly the same words are
spoken, but exactly the same appeal Is made
to many an old Scrooge today. If no one
comes around with a subscription book, the
wistful, pinched faces Of half-clad little ones
on the street, the look of suffering of many
a poor woman, the dull despair in the faces
of weary men vainly searching for employ
ment, makes the appeal to those who can
read such language with eloQuence more
touching than any tongue ever knew. So to
every one rejoicing in abundance at this
season the question comes, What shall l
put you down for?'
The little folks of The Evening Star Santa
Claus Club have answered that question
for themselves. Each one has taken a
dime from his Christmas money to be used
In helping the needy. Several thousands
have already Joined the club and the en-
rollment is still going on. The club is or

From the London Telegraph.
For many years a huge mass OF rock.

one of the great Diperwic ouarfies. the
property Of Mr.. Assheton Smith. and has
been q growing menace TO the safety OF

parations for its destruction have been IN

From these longitudinal tunnels In the
solid rock ten chambers. each IL feet by

dynamite. Each bag OF the explosive was
placed In position by Mr.. Vivian himself.

readily acceded. The hour was fixed for 1
O'Clock on Saturday. and shortly before
that time thousands Of people from Liah-

Punctually at the appointed time Mrs.
