ELEY ASSASSINATED.
An Unknown Person with a Shotgun
Fired Through Window.

Corsicana, Texas: Last night NJ. 8.
Eley, while in his room at his home
at Eureka, was shot by an unknown
party and almost instantly killed. The
party doing the shooting fired through
a window, the curtain of which was
up and the sash down. The weapon
used was shotgun, as forty buckshot
were. found in the dead mans body,
who after being shot ran into an adj
joining room and fell. Only he and
his wife were at home, the wife hay
ing just retired, and Mr.. Eley was pre-
pairing to do SO. Officers here were
at once notified and repaired to the
scene of the tragedy, taking the coun-
ty bloodhounds with them. The dogs
took the trail at the window through
which the shot was fired and followed
it a short distance to branch, where
it was lost. The officers kept up the
hunt all night and are still at work,
but at this time no report of an ar
rest has been received.
Mr.. Eley was a quiet, well-to-do
citizen, and his neighbors say they
know of no cause whatever for so des-
perate an act as that committed by
the assassin. The community in which
Eley resided is said to be thoroughly
aroused

Exhibit.

The United States Government build
ing at the Worlds Fair occupies an
elevated site just south of the main
picture of the Exposition. The great
central dome of the Government build
ing is visible from the very center of
the Fair, looking across the picturesque
sunken garden that lies between the
Palaces of Mines and Metallurgy and
Liberal Arts.
The hill slope in front of the Gov
eminent building is terraced with
broad stairways almost completely
covering the slope. The building is 800
feet long by $50 feet wide and is the
largest structure ever provided at an
exposition by the federal government.
1t is distinguished from all the other
large buildings at the Exposition by
the steel truss construction, the entire
roof being supported by steel arches,
forming a splendid domed ceiling.
In this building are installed the ex-
hibits of all the executive departments
of the government. The building is a
vast storehouse of an endless variety
of treasures dear to the heart of every
true American. Precious documents
are to be seen here, and the autographs
of our great men of the past are on
display. Relics of famous statesmen
and soldiers, carefully preserved
through generations, are exhibited.
Each governmental department has in
stalled an exhibit showing its official
character and mode of operation.
Entering the Government building

holders have arranged to receive visit
ors. These houses are i'm every section
of the city, and the rates at which
guests will be received is a matter of
record on the books of the bureau.
The Inside inn, a hotel on the Elk
position grounds, has a capacity for
5000 guests. The Exposition manage
ment has control of the rates, which
have been fixed at from $3.50 to $3.50
per day, European plan, including adj
mission to the grounds. On the Amer
lean plan the rates range from So to S.
per day. The hotel is 400 by 500 feet
and is three stories high.
There are more than $50 established
hotels in st. Louis, and signed agree
ment has been made between many of
their managers with the Exposition of
ficials that rates shall not be raised
during the Exposition period. Many
new hotels have been built on sites adj
jacent to the Exposition grounds, and
the published fixed rates warrant the
assertion that no one need pay exor-
bitant rates for accommodations either
at hotels or private houses.
Among the new hotels may be men
toned the Hotel Napoleon Bonaparte,
which stands at Clayton avenue and
Skinker road, overlooking the EXPOSE
ton grounds. This hosiery will ac-
commodate 5000 persons. The rates,
European plan, are from ST to So per
day. The Grand View hotel, south of
the Exposition, on Oakland avenue, has
a capacity for 5000 guests, and the
rates are ST to $3.50 per day, European,
and 81 to $3.50 per day on the Amer
lean plan. The Kenilworth on West
Park boulevard and Billion avenue. has
a capacity of 1000 guests, with rate
OF $3.50 per day.
The above mentioned are few of the
new hotels that have been erected near
the Exposition grounds for the accom-
mediation of Worlds Fair visitors. All
told there are about twoscore. All are
within easy walking distance, and all
are situated on high ground, with com
prehensive views of the grounds. All
OF the structures are well built, and in
some Of them the most luxurious quar-
tiers are obtainable The rates are es-
tablished and will not be increased dur

A curious collection of old time rel
les from the postoffice museum at
Washington illustrates as no verbal
description can do the crude begin

and mountain brigands shot through

In vogue in the early days is to be

preparation Of the exhibit. Charts ar
ranged by him, showing the rapid
growth OF the nation in agriculture.
