s$It is certain that the Russians nave

went down with his flagship, II Is also
reported though this report has not
received official confirmation, that an

The Worlds fair grounds cover
over 10000 acres, being more than
twice as large as that Of the
Worlds Columbian exposition at
Chicago.
Only q few weeks remain in
which to take advantage Of this
great opportunity. Every day
from now until the close Of the
fair is a Especial" day. The WA
BASH is selling daily excursion
tickets to the fair at greatly re-
duced rates; $12 St. Louis and re-
