MAY GOTO THE FAIR
Company A and 9th Regiment
Likely to Have the
Chance.
SPEND WEEK AFTER CAME
Wages During Camp Applied on
Board While at ST.
Louis.

The proha bilitieS are now strong
that Company A and the 9th regiment
will have the chance To spend week
at 81. Louis. According to the plans
now being formulated the regiment
will go Immediately after the Spring
field encampment, direct to the expo
sition.
All of the plans have been arrang-
ed, but As yet have not been officially
announced. The proposition will be
left to each company and is sort of
compromise in which both the Ma
tional guard and the management of
the exposition make concessions.
The exposition management trans
ports the troops from the Springfield
encampment to the exposition free of
charge. In return for this courtesy
the troops give one dress parade each
day for the benefit of the fair visitors.
The troops pay for their own beard.
but are charged only half rates. They
are allowed admission free to the
grounds.
Pay Own Board
The board will he the only thing
which the soldiers will have to pay,
this amounting to about 81 for the
week. The pay from the Springfield
encampment will he taken To pay this
board and the soldiers pay the differ
cnce. Or, TO make the matter more
plain, the soldiers get week of pleas
ure at the st. Louis exposition for 81,
which is practically Il find to them in
asmuch as they pick it up at the
Springfield encampmcnt. As the fare
alone from Rock Island to st. Louis
amounts to about $40. aside from the
board and admission tickets which
would run the bill up to $25, the sol
diers figure that they would be max
ing about ST. per man.

Responsibility for Boodline.

"Some would have us believe that
the democratic party is responsible
for boodling in this state. That, of
course, is not true" Joseph Folk.
For nearly forty years the demo-
cratic party has been in complete
control of the state government. 1t
has had the executive, the legislature
and the judiciary. For many years
boodling has fourished unchecked at
the state capital. 1t grew to be so
common that little effort was made to
conceal its operations. AS one prom
nent citizen expressed it, it was look
ed on merely as a conventional
crime"
Whose duty was it to put stop to
this disgraceful condition of things?
Was it not the duty of the party in
power? Who else could do it? If the
party in full control had acted ten or
fifteen years earlier the present magni-
tude and prevalence of official corrup.
tion would have been impossible. Is
not party which for long period Of
time wholly fails to do its duty in the
matter of checking boodling and per.
mits it to grow into systematic and
powerful industry-is not that party
responsible? Mr.. Folk and every
other intelligent citizen knows it is

Attractions on The Pike.

There are three things on the Pike
that everyone from here should see
when they visit the fair at St. Louis.
They are the "Galveston Flood"
"The Battle Abbey" and the "New
York to the North Pole"
The most absorbing exhibition will
be that Of the "Galveston Flood" the
most picturesque the trip "From New
York to the North Pole" and to the
people of this country the most inter-
esting historically the"Battle Abbey"
The "Galveston Flood" building con-
contains a vivid illustration Of the
disaster which overlook this delight
full southland city and concludes with
a picture of the reconstruction.
The vast entertainment is given on
a stage that had procenium opening
$50 feet wide,th largest in the world,
the building proper being $50 feet
by 300 feet. 1t begins by showing
Galveston at the close Of delightful
Summer day. Peace broods over land
and sea as the sun sinks below the sky
line leaving behind soft shadows and
gentle breezes blowing from the Gulf
to the city whose inhabitants are
closing up their business places and
enjoying the hour. Shortly after a
bank of clouds gather in the wake of
the setting sun in cathedral like
shape and form a phantom city. The
cupolas, towering domes and lofty
colonads are gilded into molten glory
by the last artistic touch of the brush
of the fading light From the deck of
an incoming vessel one can see the
lights of the city cleaning through
the night like stars, trains can be
heard and seen running out Of and in
to the city with lighted windows and
the glowing port holes Of the shipping
in the ofing indicate the life inside OF
the big hulls that swing lazily at their
anchors. From the land comes the
sound of the angelus bells in the
churches, adding sweet solemnity to
the scene. Suddenly the aspect OF
everything undergoes change. The
clouds have increased and are sweep.

disaster for Galveston. Then when

been an action In Tibet which had made 1t neces-
sary in accordance with the statute. to ask the
House to sanction the employment Of Indian troops
beyond the frontier. The Premier thought there
should be no delay in the discussion and therefore,
he would introduce a resolution TO this effect to-
morrow.
The proceedings not interesting. The chief

The government. according TO THE Evening

topics OF discussion at the meeting OF the Cabinet
The President and his advisers were IN session for
more than two hours They considered the subject

Knox has yet been able to prepare his opinion
