For the Worlds Fair 81 900 was appro-
priated and Mr.. Walker and the other
members of the commission think they
should have al least two-thirds as much
and with that amount they will make
equally as good showing. 1t is conserv-

State by the exhibit at the Worlds Fair
amount to more than ten times the
amounts appropriated for that purpose
and it is believed by this commission and
the public in general that the amount OF
money that would be brought into the
state by reason of an exhibit OF this kind
at this exposition will be greater than that
benefit derived from the exhibit at the

The plans and bids of the contractors
for the erection of the building have been

came down stairs they attempted to
awaken her, but their efforts were in vain
she was dead.
The gloom that was at once cast over

the family and to the community in which
she lived Death was pronounced due TO
heart trouble with which she had been

Mrs. Lehmaster was about so years of
age. She was the daughter OF Mr.. and
