st. Louis.-Early visitors to the Louis
lana Purchase exposition have found
: at ST. Louis an exposition SO nearly com
piete that they have in no way missed
the few minor details that were unfln-
ished on the opening day, and whlch
have since been completed. In fact IN
an exposition of such proportions as
this it would be impossible to discover
a thousand little details that might lack
completion
Weather conditions were against the
exposition management for few days
preceding the opening. Now every
thing is favorable, and the great fair
is entirely complete, completeness, we
must repeat, that is so enormous that
1t is all but impossible to comprehend
what it has meant to the builders. The
last vestige of scaffolding that for a
few days surrounded some of the less inn
portant buildings has been torn away;
the last wagon load of refuse hauled
from the grounds; every flower and
shrub the landscape gardeners included
In their scheme of decoration growing
under the benign influence of spring
sun, and the exposition stands forth
completed giant, beautiful in concep-
ton, wonderful in execution, stupendous
in size, by far the masterpiece of the
worlds expositions.
Stupendous size does not half express
it. This worlds fair has many sur
prises for the visitor, but it's immense
size is the greatest astonisher of all.
Amusement at the extent of the fair is
heard from every visitor.
1t has been interesting to watch the
visitors these first days of the fair In
teresting to see what would appeal to
then strongest, but after one has studied
the mass of humanity in their quest for
the wonders it Is hard to select any one
feature that could be designated as a
general favorite with all. Of course all
visitors are enthusiastic over the general
picture, the grand en- sembie, which has

ANOTHER RECORD CROP.
Secretary Coburn Figures That
Kansas WIZ This Year Harvest
$4,000, 900 Bushelu of wheat.

Topeka, Kan, June 10.-The Kansas
.rop report, issued by Secretary Co
Durn, indicates probable yield of
100000 bushels of wheat, compared
with 100000 bushels harvested last
rear. The acreage this year is almost
10000 acres less than last year ow-
ng to fields abandoned or sown to
other crops in the western part of the
state on account of the winter and
sarly spring. The five western tiers Of
counties in which 100000 acres of
wheat were sown last fall, and which
produced 100000 bushels of wheat
1903, will not have much over half
quantity this year but the big central
wheat counties which had poor crops
asst year will have large yields this
fear and the 100000 acres of wheat
the state east of Phillips, Ellis and
Edwards counties will have a larger
yield per acre than they produced last
year. The tier of counties will have a
larger yield per acre than last year.
The wheat area sown last fall in each
county and the condition of the wheat
and corn crops by counties are here
shown: Wheat, Wheat. Corn.

transmitted by cable throughout the
grounds to the electric railways, the
machinery in operation in the EXPOSE
ton buildings, the pumps supplying
water to the cascades and fountains,
the refrigerating plant and for other
purposes. The total horsepower used
at Chicago did not exceed $4,000 and at
the Pan-American not over 5000, in
comparison with the 10000 to $4,000
here.
Electricity had only five and one
half acres at Chicago, while at St. Lo=is
nine acres are given to the same de-
partment, besides large display Of
electrical generators in the Palace Of
Machinery.
No one should be deferred from visit
ing the worlds fair because of the fear
that living expenses in St Louis are too
high. If anyone has this notion it is
high time that it be dispelled. There is
absolutely no doubt of the fact that one
can find excellent living accommoda-
lions in St Louis now at rates not ex-
ceeding the charges this same month in
New York, Chicago or any other great
American city.
No one need pay more than one dollar
a day for good room. That is an aver
age rate. though many accommodations
of excellent character may be had for
less. There are many unrented rooms
at five dollars week, advertised every
day in the newspapers. Hundreds Of
restaurants serve meals or give short
order service at the same rates
that prevailed before the exposition
opened.
1t is suggested that the stranger in
st. Louis, who wishes to find reasonable
clearinghouse rates, make inquiry at
a grocery store or meat market in the
vicinity where he desires to stop. The
grocers and butchers know nearly all
the boarding houses in their neighbour
hoods, and they are quite willing to
oblige the stranger by directing him to
place to suit his purse and his tastes
The want" columns of the daily news
papers also contain columns of small
advertisements for boarders or dodgers.

In Butte, Mont, there is gambling
house where the patronage of ladies
is the special feature of the manage

play the good old game of faro, perfectly

Broadway, and the house is luxuriously
furnished. Carpets are laid on the
floors, softened lights shine over the
players, courteous attendants deal and
shuttle the cards and pay bets or take
winnings without the slightest sugges-
ton of the incongruity of the situation,

There is another feature. or rather

appeals to every visitor, and with good

fair management do not wish to appeal
to the public with side-show. They
built an exposition which should stand
forth to the world on its merits as an
educator, as a monument to the world S
progress, but realizing that an amuse-
ment feature was necessary they set to
work to provide the biggest and best in
this line that has ever been known. That
they have succeeded in this is evident

greatest interest is in the engines them

is the first display of turbine engines
