THE ST LoCrs FAIR.
Springfield Republican.

The 81 Louis worlds fair has reach
ed a serious crisis. according to the
Indications A postponement OF the
exposition from 1903 until 1904 seems
necessary IN view Of the fact that no
work has yet been done on the build
ings and the fact that several foreign
governments have refused TO make ex-
hlbits next year Japan win have
fair in 1903 and that may conflict some
what with the ST, Louis enterprise.
The expenses OF construction would be
much lessened II more time were taken.
Yet the fair managers have disliked
10 postpone tho exposition, since In
1904 II would come In q presidential
year and national elections tend TO
distract popular attention from show
enterprises In case Of postponement,
however the many retired statesmen
who hold Jobs as government directors
Of the exposition will not be In the
least disturbed, since their salaries of
$4,000 n year will last as long as the
fair does.

This Distressing Trouble.
It requires about five hours for the
stomach to work on an ordinary meal
and pass it out Of itself, when it falls
into a state of repose; hence if a man
eats three times day his stomach
must work fifteen hours out Of the
twenty-four After a nights sleep We
wake up with a certain amount Of bod
1ly vigor which is faithfully pordoned
out to every muscle Of tie system and
every set cf muscles, each its rightful
share, the stomach among others.
When the external body gets weary
after a long days work, the stomach
bears its share Of the fatigue, but il,
when the body is weary with the days
toll, we put it to bed. giving the stom-
ach meanwhile a five hours task which
must be performed, we impose upon
the very best friend we have-the one
that gives US one Of the largest amounts
of earthly enjoyment-and If this over
taxing is continued it must as certain
" wear out prematurely as the body
itself will If 1t is overworked every
day.
And, if persons eat between meals.
then the stomach has no rest from
breakfast in the morning until 1.E2. 8
$or a o'clock next day;sh hence it is that
SO many persons have dyspepsia. The
stomach is worked so much and SO
constantly that becomes TOO weak to
work at all.-London Family Doctor.

union depot, recently abandoned. The
work Of tearing up the floor was com
menced. There was no trouble IN md
ing laborers who wished to take the
worksofered, With Che chance of what
they could get. And they were wise
men. Many have often remarked that
when the old floor came up there
would be rich finds. So 1t proved
yesterday. ALI kinds of money, rang
ing IN size from dollars to one cent
pieces we're found By the workmen. a
large number Of pocket knives were
also found, and other articles Of more
or less value. The workmen needed
no urging to make them tear up the
floor ii hurry, but once a board had
been removed It was difficult to get
him to tear up the. next. There was
an interesting scramble all the way

because the club management feared
that Mr.. Carnegie had defaulted In

his name WAS posted for nonPaymsnt.

There is q regulation at St. An
