many manifestations of disgust and
beneath the surface.
Thus far the state fair. is great sue
cess. 1t is very dusty on the grounds,
awfully noisy, hot and wearisorne, but
there is an abundance to eat, plenty of
things to be seen and a generally good
program. The side-shows are all there.
the spielers are on hand. the merry-go-
round revolves, the "OrientalsP dance
and wriggle and allure, and the fire.
works go high in the air. In every way
it is big show and the managers are
we'll satisfied.
Frederick w. Lehman, formerly
prominent in Iowa politics and business
affairs. now of ST. Louis, visited the
state fair yesterday IN company with
the chairman of the agricultural COM
mittee of the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition. Mr.. Lehman is greatly inter-
ested in having Iowa make an exhibit
tion at ST. Louis in 1903 He is much
taken with the exposition. which is to
commemorate the purchase of large
tract of contiguous territory by Presi-
dent Jefferson that the nation might eX-
ist as continental union of states "I
certainly expect that Iowa will do the
handsome thing. Iowa. as the best of
the states carved out of Louisiana,
ought to be represented there. I have
Eothing to ask of the iowa people. but
expect the Iowa people to awaken to
their needs and to do what is right. Illi-
nois. which is not in the tract purchased
by Jefferson, has appropriated s250.OO0.
Arkansas has made an appropriation of
$4,000. Missouri has appropriated a
million dollars for the exposition Iowa
can afford TO do something at the expo
sition. But that is for the Iowa people
to do, not for us to ask In regard to
the director general of the exposition.
Mr. Lehman said that the directors
had W. l. Buchanan before them some
time and talked over with him the work.
Mr.. Buchanan declared he could not ac-
cept the place of director general be-
cause it is his plan to go to South Amer
ica and engage in business. Otherwise
it is probable that Buchanan would have
been at the head of the exposition.
