READY FOR KANSAS DAY
Governor Bailey Expects 10000 at
St. Louis Friday

St Louis, Sept. 2s.-Preparations
| for Kansas day at the worlds fair
were completed last evening, and
everything is now in readiness for the
| big celebration Friday. Governor w.
j. Bailey. with his wife, staff and a
\ number of people, have arrived from
Kansas, and will take part in the ex-
ercises in the plaza of st. Louis in the
morning and the magnificent reception
to the governor in the evening.
The party is staying in the Inside
Inn, while the governor is staying in
the Kansas building Yesterday was
spent quietly in the building, and the
governor was present at meeting of
the commission in the afternoon.
The governor states that he ex-
poets 10000 persons at least on Kan
sas day, and that the greatest interest
is being manifested by the people of
Kansas in the event and the exposition
in general The governor has been to
the fair only twice before himself, and
has had no time then to see it, but
states that he will spend the re-
mainder of the week touring the
grounds.
No business of general interest was
transa cted yesterday at the commits
sion meeting. Another one will be held
today.
One of the features of this week,
which has been designated Kansas week,
will be the evening open house" at the
building. The building will be kept
open each evening until the gates of the
exposition are closed and all Kansas
people are invited to meet friends there
or keep appointments. This is the first
time that this has been done by any
state building and will prove a novel
as well as convenient feature. The state
orphan asylum at Topeka has sent a
large quantity of roses to the commits
sion and these will be used in decora-
ton during the week.
Yesterday evening Mrs. Huston
whiteside of Hutchinson, Kan. and
Mrs. Emma. Jones of Emporia sang sew
eral solos for the entertainment of Kan
sas visitors.

IT'S ALL EXPLAINED
Alleged Letter of the President to Dom
nelly Was imaginary.

New York, Sept. 2s-The letter al
legged to have been received by Michael
J.. Donnelly, the leader of the meat
strike purporting to be one sent by
President Roosevelt, was copied from
an editorial in the New York Evening
Post of August l. The Evening Post
says today:
THE letter appeared as an editorial
in the Evening Post of August 1, and
was explicitly stated to be a letter
which the president might have writ
ten with advantage to- himself ana the
country, in other words it was con-
fessedly an imaginary letter written for
the sake of bringing out certain truths
in regard to the meat strike
The Evening Post also says:
I'VE had no thought, of course, of
being able to make even presentable
imitation of the presidents literary
style; and as the article at the time
was commented upon and reproduced
somewhat extensively in the press, we
never dreamed of its ever coming to
figure as a campaign forgery
