to improvise an object lesson of the re-
sources and productive industries of the
Trans Mississippi region.
Under the act of Congress- approved by
President Cleveland in June. 1896, the
Trans Mississippi and International En-
position is granted recognition as n ma
tional and international exposition. with
privileges for the admission of foreign ex-
hibits free of duty. the right to strike
memorial medals through the United
States mints, and all other privileges here
tofore granted to international exposi-
tions, plcdging the United States to par
ticipate in the exposition by the erection
pf suitable buildings and the placing of
Government exhibit therein.
Iowa was the first State to make n pre-
liminary appropriation to cover the cost
Of representation at the Trans Mississippi
Exposition. This act was passed Mt the
Legislative session of 1886. and it is con-
idently expected that the Legislature the
coming winter will increase the appropri-
alton by rot less than $4,000. The Leg
islature of Nebraska has appropriated
100000 for buildings and exhibits. Hi
nos has appropriated $4,000 for build
$4,000. while individual citizens have
pledged Il like amount. making $50, ,000
Utah appropriated $4,000. Other States
and territories will send large State ex-
hibits us private enterprise. relying up
on their Legislatures to reimburse them
later. 1t is predicted that the mining ex-
hibits from the States of South Dakota,
Colorado, Montana, Idaho and Utah will
be the srandest exposition of the products
of American mines ever made. The city
of Omaha has contributed $4,000
through its park commission and will
doubtless increase this sum TO Il total of
S100.00O by expenditures for beautifying
and improving the exposition grounds and
approaches thereto before the opening day
Of the exposition. while Douglas County.
Of which Omaha is the seat, will issue
100000 in exposition bonds. The reve-
nue. from exhibitors promises to be very
large. To date more space has been allot-
ted to exhibitors than was taken Mt the
Atlanta exposition up to three months
prior to the opening of the gates.

wholly obscured o. great msny days,
the character of the winter months may
be easily imagined.
In the interior of Alaska the winter sets
in as early as September, when snow
storms may be expected in the mountains
and passes. Headway during one of those
storms is impossible, and the traveller who
is overtakcn by one of them is indeed for
tunatc if he escapes with his life. Snow
storms of great severity occur in any
month from September to May, inclusive.
In May the sun rises at about 3 Il. nj. and
sets about p. M. In June it rises about
30 in the morning and sets ut about
1880, li7ing about twenty hours of day
light and diffuses twilight the remainder
of the time.

Continental currency is so common

Continental currency is so common
that it practically has no value. Dur
ing the war for independence the Cont
mental Congress and the States issued
vast quantities of paper money, and
advantage was taken of It's poor work
manship by counterfelters to such an
extent that at the close of the war no
body knew whether the money he held
was good or bad. There are millions of
dollars of these bills still in existence,
but they are so common that. unless by
chance, it is not easy for holder to
dispose Of them even TO IL collector OF
surios.

ring his bell at the crossing, as the law
directs. The bicycler who held him up
was obdurate, and the Mayor only got off
by promising faithfully to enter up fine

This government by INDUCTION is the
most absolute despotism and the most

A st. Louis, Mo-, dispatch says: Last

wool had reached the lowest price on rec

find buyers at that price. The men en-
gagged in this trade We're almost unani-
nous in the opinion that the low water
mark had been reached, and that higher
prices were inevitable, and they backed
their opinion to the limit of their re-
sources. They began by buying immedi-
ately last October and kept it up reso-
lutely, holding on TO their purchases and
adding to them. AS Il result of this policy
there is now in st. Louis a stock of H.
