Madison, Wis, Sept. ia majority
of the old LaFollette Republican state
central committee met for the purpose
Of investigating the question of the
regularity of the two conventions held
il May last, and to certify it's findings
to the secretary of state. Attorney
John NJ. DIN appeared on behalf Of
the anti-third term ticket, headed by
Samuel A. Cook, and submitted OBJ
jections to the committee hearing the
case, on the ground that the func-
tons of the committee ceased at the
time it's successor was elected.
These objections were not consid-
cred, and the committee decided that
the ticket nominated by the gymnasi-
UNI convention was regular. The ques-
ton of regularity is now before the SUI
preme court in a suit instituted by the
anti-third termers and it is expected
to be decided finally in short time.

In Butte, Mont, there is gambling
house where the patronage of ladies
is the special feature of the manage
ment, and where all kinds of women
play the good old game of faro, perfectly
at home and without fear of interrupt
ton. The entrance is from an alley near
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-
tion of the incOngruity of the situation,

transmitted by cable throughout the
grounds TO the electric railways, the
machinery in operation in the exposi-
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 II 900 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. Louis
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-
tions 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 a 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.
It's 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 neighbor-
hoods, and they are quite willing to
oblige the stranger by directing him tc
place to suit his purse and his tastes.

papers also contain columns Of small
advertisements for boarders or dodgers.

more of their stay inside the grounds
but few get further than the point from
which they catch their first view of this
grand picture.

exclaimed one woman near whom | was
standing as she caught her first glimpse
of the beauty of the cascades and the
magnificence of the grand exposition
palaces Such is the general verdict.
For beauty, for magnificence, for extent,
St Louis has beat the world.
There is another feature, or rather
collection of features, which seemingly
appeals to every visitor, and with good
reason, and that is The Pike" The
fair management do not wish to appeal
to the public with a side-show. They
built an exposition which should stand
forth to the world on its merits as an
educator, as a monument to the worlds
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
to every visitor who travels The Pike"
Nor is this great amusement feature
lacking in educational interest Here
one may study the architectural fancies
of the world; here he may study the
nations of the world. their methods of
life, their surroundings, their customs.

not less than $l00 900 apiece, and hardly

What runs in all; what supplies the
power that makes the countless wheels
go round? The majority of visitors are
intensely interested in the mechanical
motive force of this greatest of eXposi-
tions, and we'll they may be. One of
the most striking features is the power

plant. Never before at an exposition
has there been even half as much
power developed as supplied from the
various prime movers in the Palace Of
Machinery. In a large boiler house
standing west of the Machinery build
| ing, filled with the latest and best pro-
ductions of skilled boiler manufactures,
steam is generated to supply 10000
horsepower to the various engines in
the Machinery building. In addition
to this about 10000 horsepower is re-
ceived by electric cable from power sta
ions in the city of st. Louis. But the
greatest interest is in the engines them
selves rather than in the large capacity
of the exhibit, for among them is a
giant turbine or rotary engine develop
ing 5000 horsepower, besides others of
a similar type of smaller capacity. This
is the first display of turbine engines
at large exposition, as its develop
ment is very recent achievement of
mechanical engineering and invention
At the Chicago Exposition the larg-
est gas engine developed only ten
horsepower; the visitor to st. Louis
may see gas engine with the capacity
of 300 times larger than the Chicago
engine. The 1900 horsepower gas en-
gine is the largest engine of it's char
acter ever built. Many other gas en-
gines of various types developing from
! ! 900 to | $50 horsepower complete this
feature of the exhibit and there are
many of the more familiar reciprocal
ing engines of the latest pattern and
highest efficiency.
OF the total number of prime movers
in the Palace CT Machinery about one
half are comprised in what is known as
the Exposition power plant. the other
half being exhibitors engines. Nearly
all these engines are connected with
electrical generators and the power is

st. LouiS.-Early visitors to the Louis
lana Purchase exposition have found
at st. Louis an exposition so nearly COM
plete that they have in no way missed
the few minor details that were unfin-
ished on the opening day, and which
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, a completeness, we
must repeat, that is so enormous that
it 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 i'm
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 a spring
sun, and the exposition stands forth a
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 its immense
size is the greatest astonisher of all
Amazement 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 favorte with all. OF course all
visitors are enthusiastic over the general
picture, the grand en- semble, which has

Big Man and Little Woman.

She was a demure little woman with
baby. AS the car was crowded she
did not put the little one, who was old
enough to sit up, on the seat beside
her. She carried it on her lap, and
made room for a fierce-lookng, big
man with a newspaper.
The child kicked its tiny feet in de-
light at the strange things it saw while
riding along, and its shoes rubbed
against the big mans trousers.
Perhaps, madam" he exclaimed,
you imagine that this conveyance is
your private carriage?"
"Oh, no | don't" was the prompt re-
ply. "lf it were you wouldn't be riding
in it."-Tit- Bits.
