train was in front OF the Laclede
waiting to take the party to DelmaI
Gardens, a lovely spot not far froa
the exposition grounds. A very pleas

the sights and witnessing a play

of pretty girls and a few ugly men.

After reaching the hotel, as late as
the hour was, a "Slumhing Party"
was quickly organized. With a couple
of policemen as guides and protectors,
quite a crowd of gentlemen and
ladies visited "Hop Alley'' and other
Sums. They saw Chinese and Amer
lean "pipe fends' in all stages Of de-
hatchery. We did rot go, but those
who went say they were well repaid
for the trip, but they had no desire to
repeat the experience.
Friday morning at nine O'Clock the
special train was ready aud a quick
trip was made to the grounds. The
editorial party met at once at the
hall ia the Administration building,
and the regular business was taken
up. A resolution was introduced
giving the committee on credentials
power to revise the roll of member
ship, aud to drop from the roll the
names of those who we're unworthy.
This resolution vas primarily aimed
at John A. Lee and j. L. Page. In
discussing the resolution the lame Of
R. B. Speed vas connected with the
two above mentioned. This was a
death blow to the resolution. Many
members who had been in favor of
expelling Lee and Page began to OPP
pose the measure as soon as Speeds
name was mentioned. The resolu-
tion was finally referred to a COM
mittee on constitution and bylaws,
and will probably never be heard
from again, In the meantime Lee
and Page will probably fail to pay
their annual dues, and their names
be quietly dropped from the rolls.
Should they pay up, they will be ex-
PEELED at the next meeting.
At the close of the morning session
the editoral party was again taken to
luncheon. The visitors had become
pretty we'll acquainted with each
other by this time, and an hour was
spent very pleasantly at the table and
all enjoyed the splendid lunch.
Friday afternoons session was
quickly finished, down to the election
of officers. There had been some
complaint about non-rotation of
Office" and amendments to the by
laws were introduced calling for rota.
tion. The amendments were referred
to the proper committee. When it
came to a vote those persons who had
held Office for more than one year
had no opposition, and not a vote
was cast against any candidate The
rule is that the president steps out;
the first vic e-president is then made
president; the second vice is made
first; the third is made second, and a
new name Is put up for third vice.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are as follows; President,T T.
Wilson, Of Tarkio; First Vice Presi-
dent, w. D. Thomos, of Fulton;
Second Vice President, Lon Luther,
of Lannon'S; Third Vice President;
