This Thanksgiving finds the people

peace and plenty. We have prospered
in things material and have been able

that true homage comes from the heart

great snowstorm of last April was a Sc
we're blow to the exposition. An immense
amount of work was undone, and work
on the grounds and buildings was delayed
for a week. Strenuous efforts were made
to make up the lost time, but on May
a vast amount of work remained unfin-
ished, and the formal opening of the ex-
position was postponed until May 20. The
lamentable tragedy in the Temple of Mu-
sic was another blow to the Pan-American
exposition.
There was a veritable riot in the mid
way the last night. The disorder started
from a quarrel between an intoxicated
man and a waiter. The crowd took the
part Of the stranger and wrecked the
place, smashing chairs, tables and win
dows. A stream of water from a fire
hose finally put the mob to fight.
The total admissions Saturday were
l24,399, and for six months S,295,073.

]. M. Harris, president and general
manager of the Reco Mining and Mill
ing company of Sandon, and one Of the
pioneer sand picturesque figures Of the
SLOGAN, says, in speaking of the condi-
ton of the mine sin the silver-lead belt
around Sandon: 1.-The Reco never had
as large a showing of ore as at present.
From the deepest workings of the
mine, which are about 600 feet from
the surface, about $50 tons of ore of
pay grade is being extracted each
month, and part of this is being sent
to the Trail and the rest to the Selby
Smelling Works, near San Francisco,
Cal.
There are 80 men at work in the
Reco. All the mines being operated in
the vicinity of Sandon have as good
showings as ever in their history, but
the low price of lead, the high smelling
and transportation charges. the lack Of
confidence in the government and other
drawbacks, have a tendency to discour-
age the mine operators.
Among the mines included in those
which are looking well are the Last
Chance. Rambler-Cariboo, Goodenough,
Silverton, Trade Dollar and others.
The mine owners are only getting 81. 33
less 10 per cent, per 1000 pounds, for
their lead.
1.-THE lead refinery should be of help
to the silver-lead miners. provided it is
built by parties who will compete with
the trust, and provided it does not fall
into the hands of the trust. AS mat
ter of fact, the higher grade properties
alone of the SLOGAN are being operated
at a small profit, while those of lower
grade are shut down, awaiting the adj
vent of more favorable conditions.

BUFFALO EXPOSITION CLOSED
ENDED LAST SATURDAY NIGHT.
President MiIburn Pressed the But
ton OF Midnight and the Lights in
Electric Tower Grew Dim-'Taps"
Were SOunded-WnI BE About
100000 Loss.

Buffalo, Nov. 4.-The Pan-American
exposition ended at II o'clock Saturday
night. At midnight President John G.
Milburn pressed an electric button and
the lights in the famous electric tower
grew dim for the last time. Slowly, one
by one, the lights on post and pinnacles
of the tower faded away. A corps of
buglers standing on the tower sounded
"taps,' and one of the greatest glories of
the exposition, the electrical illumina-
ton, passed away and the exposition was
ended. The exposition has not been a
financial success, but it is believed the
benefits derived from it will be of great
value to the commercial interests of the
country. The primary object of the ex-
position was to advance friendly relations
between the United States and the coun-
tries of the two Americas.
The financial loss will be in the neigh
borhood of $3,OOOOOO. The statement to
be issued by the officers of the exposition
setting forth the expenditures and re-
ceipts win be made public some time
this month. Until then the company will
make no formal statement
The loss will fall upon the holders of
the common stock, the holders Of second
mortgage bonds and the contractors who
erected the buildings. Two hundred and
ten thousand shares of common stock
were sold at so a share. The stock was
subscribed for by the citizens of Buffalo
and the Niagara frontier in small lots
of from one share to 100 so that the
loss will not be seriously felt by any one
No complaint has been heard by the
holders of common stock, who appreciate
the benefit the exposition has been to the
city. There is also a feeling of satisfac-
ton that the enterprise was carried to a
successful end without state or federal
aid. The first mortgage bonds, amount
ing to S25O0O0O, will be paid in full. An
issue of S5OOOOO second mortgage bonds
is unprovided for, but the revenue from
salvage and buildings and from other
sources will probably cover a part of this
Indebtedness. The remainder due to con-
tractors is not definitely known but it is
said that it represents their profits for
the work done. and no one will be seri-
ously embarrassed by the loss.

Senator j. w. Bailey Was the Orator
of the Day.
Greenville, Texas, August 31.-The second
and last day of the Confederate reunion
was more largely attended and the speeches
and other exercises were listened to with
profound attention.
Senator Bailey, orator Of the day, was
interviewed by Congressman De, Graffeu-
ried.
Mr. Bailey was in his usual fine form and
voice and for over an hour made u heart
to heart talk to a scattered and grizzled
remnant of once proud and valorous army.
Men were there who had followed the
matchiess Lee, the intrepid and dashing
Stonewall Jackson and other mighty gener-
ais whose name and fame are linked for
ever with the glories of the struggle in
which they bore conspicuous parts, and
these followed each word and thought Of
the speaker as he touched the story of
Southern valor and heroism with the magic

ty, and as enduring as the history of that
mighty epoch shall prove in the annals OF

Many receipts are returned signed by

as the signatures on each receipt is com

PICNIC AT AN END.
Annual Meeting of Grayson County Old
Settlers Closed,

Annual Meeting of Grayson County Old
Settlers Closed.
Sherman, Texas, August 31-Today, the
last day of the old settlers picnic, ended
one of the most successful gatherings in
the history of that association. The crowd
was enormous from the beginning.
The program today was filled with remi
niscences from old settlers among whom
them are many prominent speakers. Every
step of Grayson county's progress from Its
first inhabltunt was told today.
Trustees were elected as follows: j. d,
Woods, j. p. Loving r. l.. Bullock, w
S. Holt, c. r. Stowe, w. =. Dugan, j. w.
Yaden, I. S. Freeman, J. II. Dlms, q.
Rudasill and NJ. l., Webster.
In two weeks the trustees will meet and
elect officers and set the date for the next
meeting.
Grandma Whitaker at 3 p. m. concluded
the closing address of the occasion. The
most pathetic scene of the occasion was
this parting of the old pioneers, 1t was a
sure thing that many of them would never
meet again and tears flowed freely down
furrowed cheeks and the hands that helped
to blaze the way for all the present glory
of old Grayson clasped in fervent grip.
