Plans for a few unique and highly
attractive features have already been
favorably received by the promoters
of the exposition, as well as the people
at large. One which has attracted
much attention is the proposed silver
palace, which will be the central figure
of the mineral exhibit. 1t is proposed to
set apart portion of the grounds for
this exhibit, under the designation of
Eel Dorado" The building will be
about $50 feet square. 1t will be con-

reproductions of famous mines in min

How One Man Makes Living by buy
ing Canadian Money.

Ing Canadian Money.
All through that part of the country
morthern Ohio there is discount of
20 cents on every Canadian dollar. OF
course Canadian money is not as much
in circulation as is the legal tender
of the United States, but there is
enough for his purpose, says the Buff
falo Express. A man advertised in all
surrounding country towns that he
would redeem Canadian money for 90
cents on the dollar. 1t was some time
before he had any results from this ad-
vertising. Ii was like the man who
stood on London bridge at midnight
and offered to give away sovereigns.
People laughed at him. The farmers
were shy. They thought it was a swim
ding game of some kind, and left him
severely alone. One day man came in
with $40 Canadian money. 1t was of
all shapes and sizes from the 5-cent
piece that looks like dime to a dollar
bill drawn on the Bank of Montreal.
If he had spent it he could have Sc
cured IS worth of goods for it. My
man gave him nine big silver dollars
~ shi''h stht'S lbl 1t. btAbit
the week was out he had exchanged
United States dollars for $3.50 worth OF
Canadian money. This would give him
profit OF s25 wherever Canadian mon
ey is as good as ours From that time
on the business gradually increased.
until to-day he averages about $3.50 a
week. Instead of having the farmers
come to him he goes to them and buys
their accumulated savings of Canada
coin. They are all his customers, and
know him well in the five years they
have done bu ,iness together. Are you
not afraid Of competition in your bust
ness In case Il becomes generally
KNOWN | asked. No" said he. "you
see it requires comparatively large

Then have to have men in the from

cy. / generally take n trip twice

All this requires years OF preparation.
and no outsider could step in and make
exchanges with my patrons, as they

abodes variety of apparel the various
ornaments and aboriginal jewelry with
which the tribesmen bedeck themselves
will be shown. The wild Apache of
the southwest and the semi-cIvilized
Indian of the Five Nations or OF the
reservations will commingle, and the
progress made by agencies for the civ
ilization of the red men will be shown.
The exposition managers have de-
cided to erect building to be devoted
to the Grand Army of the Republic.
An extensive collection of war relics
will form a most interesting feature
of this building. Gen. T. S. Clarkson
of Omaha, commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army, says the government,
having become interested in the expo
sition, would gladly furnish all tito
trophies and mementoes of the civil
war and of preceding wars, which are
embraced in the priceless collection in
the War and Navy museum. Many
states will also be induced to lend their
collections for this exhibit.
The highest aim of the promoters VI
the Trans Mississippi and Information
al exposition of 1898 is to show to the
world the vast extent of wealth and re-
sources possessed by the states and ter
rtories west of the Mississippi river.
From this region comes nearly all
the gold and silver produced in the
United States, and nearly every min
eral known to commerce is dug from
Its mountains. Between the Mississippi
river and the Rocky mountains lies the
granary of America. Cereals of almost
every description are produced in great
abundance. The production of sugar
in the United States is confined almost
exclusively to the states of Louisiana.
Nebraska Utah and California The
cotton of Louisiana. Texas, Arkansas,
and Indian territory constitutes one
half of the cotton raised in the United
States. and its annual value is COM
puted to be sl61 100000. The timber
of the Pacific coast states, Missouri. Ar
kansas, Minnesota. and Texas is almost
limitless in extent and variety.
