LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPO.
Buildings Were Formally Dedicated
Recently.

The buildings Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition were recently for
mally dedicated to their purpose with
all possible pomp and ceremony. In
every way save one the exercises were
an uneQuivocal success-and this one
circumstance was the weather. It
would be difficult to imagine a more
disagreeable day. The wind blew fierce
ly from the west, sending great clouds
Of dust whirling into the faces of the
troops as they marched past the pres
ident and at times SO nearly binding
the president that it was we'll nigh
impossible for him to see across the
street upon which the troops were
marching.
Added to the discomfort of the wind
and dust was temperature which
sought for the marrow and generally
reached 1t. The ladies, who, on the
strength of the warm weather Of yes
terday, came in summer dresses to the
reviewing stand. suffered keenly, and
but for the thoughtfulness Of officers
commanding the guard thrown around
the reviewing stand, who provided
them with Blankets, many Of them
would have been compelled to leave
the place.
Both President Roosevelt and ex-
President Cleveland remained in the
reviewing stand, exposed to the icy
wind until the end of the parade. al
though their faces were blue and their
limbs stiffened by the cold.
Building Gold and Damp
Conditions in the liberal arts build
ing, where the dedication ceremonies
proper were held, were little better.
There was no wind, but there was
manifold drafts which, added to the
dampness inseparable from newly
erected buildings, produced penetrat-
ing chill that was uncomfortable, to a
degree. The effect OF this was evident
in all Of the speeches, as the speakers,
commencing their speeches in clear
tones, were without exception given
ever to catarrhal infections as they
finished. Despite this heavy handicap,
however, the ceremonies proper were
srlendidly handled, and the program
was carried out to the letter. The po
lice work was excellent, and the pa
trolling of avenues and passageways
by the First Missouri infantry was ably
done, and all possible consideration
shown to the great crowd, which num-
bered in round figures about 145,000.

SHOT AND KILLED.
Davis Threatened the Lad Who
Thought He Had a Gun.

South McAlester, 1. T., July 16.-Accord-
ing to the Eufaula Journal a tragedy was
enacted Sunday evening on the Mel Pree
dy farm, four miles west of Canadian.
Bill Davis was shot and instantly killed
by George Blanch, a 17-year-Old boy.
The killing occurred on the public high
way The boy went Immediately to Cana
dian and gave himself UP to a citizen
named Urguhart, who at once notified the
officers here. He was brought up this
morning for a hearing before Commits
sioner Marshall.
According to the boys story, he and
Davis had not been friendly for some
time, Davis having threatened to kill him.
But what their real differences were no
body seems to know, only that Davis
had intimidated the boy on several occa-
sions. This caused the boy TO avoid him.
Sunday the boy says he was overtaken on
the public road by Davis who began abus-
ing him and running against him on his
horse and frightening the women and
children who were with him. He remon-
strated and Davis reached to his saddle
pockets as if to draw a weapon when the
boy shot him through the heart and once
through the head as he fell from his
horse.
