lake. Mr.. Brewster, who was employed by
M Mr. D. Dayis i - in harvesting hay, had been in

supposed he climbed upon the scaffold and
laid down to sleep, but yesterday when Mr
Davis entered the barn he discovered the
lifeless body of Brewster lying on the floor,

head. Death probably resulted from con.
cussioh OF the brain. Coroner Judkins was

inquest unnecessary. Brewster was the
son of Washington |. and Rebecca Brewster

;56 years of age. He was married to Mrs

ly outdo the gorgeousness of an Ara
bian Nights tale, and in the transcen-
dent beauty of this days great revels,
give unto the whole world an idea of

created.
Every effort will be made by the skill
ed men in charge Of this gigantic and
glittering pageantry of all nations to

No miserable waits; but, all moving
silently and swiftly; each tableau tell
ing its tale with deftness and despatch;

days created to boom the grandest and
most transcendently beautiful Exposi
