Visit the Fair in September.
Omaha. Nebr., Aug. 27.

Omaha, Nebr., Aug q, 1904
&. Il. Perrin, Agent:
My attention has been directed to the
desirability of Worlds Fair visitors
making their visit to st. Louis in Sept
ember, keeping ahead of the great Oct
ober rush. Mr.. Eustis just wires me
that he has been in st. Louis four days
this week and that the weather was most
delightful and the Fair was in finished
condition.
Great regret is expressed in st. Louis
that the thousands who are waiting for
October weather could not come now
From my personal knowledge of Mis-
souri, weather, feel safe in assuring you
that September in st. Louis should be a
splendid month for Worlds Fair visit

We record Mr.. Lemuel Putnam as our
first visitor this year.
The attendance is gradually increas,
ing. 1t is now about l80.
The baseball team is now reality
The diamond is located on the old foot
ball ground.
Baseball, basket ball and croquet are
the amusements on the play ground at
present.
The girls of the seventh and eighth
grades have organized a baseball team.
The motto of the school is:
There's so much bad in the best Of us,
There's so much good in the worst of
us
That it scarcely behooves any of us
To talk about the rest of us"
COMBINATIONS.
The prevailing thought of the age is
combination. Capital combines, labor
combines, commerce combines, indiYid
uals combine, politicians combine, pro-
fessional men combine, thieves and rob-
bers combine, evil doers and doers Of
good combine. All see that in corhin-
alton there is strength and economy.
Our government affords an excellent
example Of combination. The local,
state and national governments, each
supreme within its own jurisdiction, yet
combined in such way as to form
complete whole. And as long as these
combinations are SO balanced that each,
to certain extent is dependent on the
others we will not cease to have good

NEW YORK NEWS LETTER.


NEW YORK-The open declaration
of Murphy, the leader of Tammany
Hall, in favor of Cleveland's nomina-
tion for the presidency. has brought a
trifie more clearness into the political
atmosphere, but the final outcome of
the complicated situation is not by any
means removed from the speculative
stage. The friends of Judge Parker
are beginning to fear that there is
trouble coming their way. and IL is
said that in the hour of need they have
even tried to obtain assistance from
Mr. Bryan. Although it is quite well
known that Mr.. Bryan is not an en-
thusiastic admirer of Judge Parker so
far as his views on the silver ques-
ton are concerned. but it is believed
that his feeling OF opposition to Cleve-
land Will be strong enough in him to
induce him to intercede for Parker,
although the latter is not his favorite
candidate, At the same time there is
trouble brewing in the Republican
ranks. For some time there has been
friction between Governor Odell and
Senator Plat and. although a truce
has been patched up for the time being
1t is believed that serious break is
sure to come. II is stated in we'll
informed circles that Odell is pretty
sure of at least 20 of the Al members
of the State central committee. while
only IA are conceded to Platt.

ed himself to be interviewed upon the
subject he likes best to discuss. He
was asked how the Cleveland boom
was progressing down south and an
swered with surprise that he did not
know there was such boom; he sure
ly had not discovered any evidence of
II during his southern trip. In the
same interview Mr.. Bryan expressed
his conviction that the Democratic
National convention would reatIirm
the Kansas City platform, as 1t was
the only one. according to Mr.. Bryan's
idea, that could possibly harmonic
the different factions of the Democrat
ic party,
There seems TO be good prospect
for the rapid development of New
fork's subway system. When the
Belmont syndicate entered into nego-
tiations with the city for the construc.
tion of the subway system now in
course of construction, great many
wiseacres shook their heads and ex-
pressed grave doubts as to the advis.
ability of investing such enormous
sums in an enterprise the success of
which. at least from a financial point
Of view, seemed to them rather pre-
carious. Times have changed, and
with them the views of the most con.
servative capitalists 1t is quite char
acteristic for this change of opinion,
that even before the completion of the |
