FAMILIAR CORNER
GREATLY IMPROVED.
Hotel Central Still has the Name,
but all Else is Different
Now Two Stores.

An old resident returning to town
would hardly realize where he was
when he arrived at old familiar Hotel
Central corner To be sure the name
is still there, but how changed Ex-
cept for the shape of the roof the
building would never be recognized.
S. Splitter has made this wonderful
change Even the old sidewalk has
been replaced by a modern walk
covering the space from the building
to the curb. The old porch has been
removed aud in its place are modern
store fronts, with large plate glass
windows and imposing entrance.
The entire building has been painted
a yellow shade and the entire struct-
ure looks more in keeping with the
progressive city.
In the corner store Mr.. Splitter will
keep a wine aud liquor store. The
store on Smith street next to his will
be a restaurant. The upper floors have
been divided into numerous rooms
which will be to let. Mr. Splitter will
have his opening on Saturday and for
the next thirty days he will give
special souvenirs to purchasers OF fifty
cents worth or over. Everything will
be first class and Mr.. Splitter is pre-
pairing to do a big business.

Missouri state Fair Board Advertlses
for Bids.

for Bids.
sedalIa, Mo-: The Missouri State
Fair Board has authorized Secretary
John r. r. Rippey to advertise in the
ST. Louis and Kansas City newspapers
and in other Missouri publications for
bids for the construction of FIVE State
Fair buildings.
The construction of the proposed
buildings depends entirely upon Gov.
Dockery's signature to the appropria-
ton bill of $4,000 for State Fair pur-
poses, and all bids will have to be
made subject to rejection by the
Board OF Directors.
The proposed buildings are an agri-
cultural hall, S0x16O feet; a horticul-
tural hall, 30x16O feet; a poultry
building, 64x12O feet, and two cattle
barns, each 6Sx12O feet Since the
State Fair of last year an exhibitors
association has been organized. 1t
comprises exhibitors of live stock who
make the circuit Of the State fairs. At
the organization meeting 1t was de-
cided to not make any exhibits this
year unless the railroads make better
rates for the transportation OF live
stock.
The railroads in the past have car
ried live stock to State fairs at one
half the tariff rate and returning 1t
free of charges. This concession does
not help the livestock men at all.
They pay half rate to the first fair,
full rate to the next one and so on
until they reach home. What the as
sociation asks is that a fiat rate of one
half tariff rate be granted all around
the circuit.
Secretary Rippey has been author
tied to bring the railroad and stock
men together on rates and he will is
sue a call in a few days for a joint
meeting in Chicago Of State fair
boards, the officers Of the exhibitors
association and the railway traffic
managers.

feature of this is generally admitted
to be "The Red Square," with it's
Cathedral of Basil the Blessed, it's
statue to Mimi and Pozharslzy, its
historical museum, Iberian Gate, trad

OF these the Cathedral of Basil the

half a dozen different styles of
architecture, were found only recent

work of two Russian artists who
