DEARLY BELOVED:
It's too blamed hot to enjoy the best
show on earth today-said show being
the Trans. Mississippi exposition. That's
right. It's allit's claimed to be and
more, too. A sort of little worlds fair,
and in another Chicago a bit farther
west. You have got to come west to see
enterprise and git.up-and-eitness; isn't
that SOP
But it's hot, as before remarked, and
it's more enjoyable finding cool and
shady spot, something not easily to be
had, and watch the rest OF humanity
swelter and sweat. II we poor South
Dakotans thought to escape the wind,
the heat, the dust and the dirt we are
nightly fooled. We havn't got away
from bit Of it, and it takes away much
OF the pleasure Of such an outing as
this.
The South Dakota delegates to the
national editorial association a. Denver
arrived last night. The special train Of
Pullmans bearing about $50 delegates
and ladies came in this morning from
Chicago. Most OF the party are taking
it easy lounging around the Press build
Ing and meeting old friends and ac-
Quaintances from all parts Of the east
and south. Maine and Florida badges
are seen miDgllng with those from the
northwest. The special train leaves
here Sunday morning for Denver.
About the cutest and most interesting
thing ! have seen 9n the grounds yet is
a miniature locomotive pulling a train
Of four cars. The little locomotive is
about four feet long, has q cylinder with
a!four inch stroke aud will pull twenty
people easily on the little narrow gauge
track.
lam not going to try to tell anything
about the exposition. 1t is too much Of
an undertaking without spreading it
over dozen newspaper articles. Most
readers have read all about it anyway.
1t is very much like the worlds fair on
a small scale. The scale is ample
enough, however, to cover all the time
and expense one may be put to t0 see it.
In other words, 1t is we'll worth the
money. Those who eaw the worlds fair
will SEQ here much that IL new aud
those who did not Will meet with rev.
slation. The government bulldlng-the
principal point OF interest on the
gr0unds-is almost an exact duplicate
Of the exhibit at the worlds fair. The
building is thronged with visitors con.
stantly. The war with Spain has given
the people Of this country greater pride
in their government than ever and III
the building everything that Is In use
by the war department becomes an oh
ject OF interest.
The grounds are beautifully illumin
ated nights and the "Court OF Honor
there rivals that at Chicago.
