 at St. Louis,
Ample Accommodations at Reasonable
 Rates.

The alarming and altogether errone- ous reports which have been circulated from time to time regarding the prob able overcrowding of visitors to the Ex- position and the lack of accommoda- tons may be entirely discarded, as the arrangements which have been made in the Cascade City are such as to pro vide good accommodations and enter tainment for all who come.
 Chief among the prominent hostelries which have opened their hospital ble doors is The Inside Inn, situated actu. ally within the grounds of the ExnosI tion itself and erected under the suner. vision of the Worlds Fair manaee- ment It Is three stories In height ia 400 feet wide, 500 feet long and con tains 2257 rooms in addition to it's par lors and waiting rooms and a dining. room and restaurant seating 2,5OO The Inside Inn is under the direct manage ment of MT. F.. M. Statler, the we'll known caterer of Buffalo, who main tains a high-class and uniform cuisine and service for everyone of his guests
 The Inside Inn is run on both the Flu. ropean and American plans at rates ranging from $1.5O to s5.50 per day. Flu ropean, and from $500 to $7.00. Ameri can. including admission in both classes The range of prices being solely con-
 
 rooms.
 The advantage of q large, comfort. able, and thoroughly equipped homo like hotel right inside the grounds will at once be obvious to all who remember the long, wearisome journeys so often entailcd both at the Worlds Fair in Chicago and at Buffalo, by those who lived some distance away from the Ex position. No admission fee other than the first one is needed. visitors being within the precincts of the Exposition all the time. They thus save all loss of time, expenses of street cars, etc and are able to devote the whole of their time to the pleasures and enjoy ments of the Exposition.
 Reservations may be made for any date and full details regarding the many disadvantages of The Inside Inn may be obtained by addressing a postal card to The Inside Inn. Administration Bldg, Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis.

ROBSON WILL SPEAK

Governor Cunningham and President H. l.. Mckee of Mississippi State
 Association are Other
 Eloquent Speakers.

Two weeks from today the tenth an- nual meeting of the Alabama Commer cial and Industrial Association will he held in Anniston, Ala. The dates are Wednesday and Thursday, September 2l and 22, and the railroads have granted reduced rate to Anniston from all over the State for this occa- sion.
 ' These meetings always attract the most representative business men of Alabama-the delegates being sent by the various Commercial Clubs repre- sented In the State organization.
 The meeting this year gives prom ise of surpassing the excellence of the meeting last year In Mobile. and the program is alive with subjects inter esting to business men who do their own thinking.
 Governor Cunningham has promised to attend this tenth annual meeting, and has consented to address the con- vention upon the live topic "Immi- grafton to Alabama" upon which he is known to have some clear-cut, wig orous ideas. This address will attract widespread attention not only in Ala bama but also in Georgia and South Carolina, where immigration acts have recently been considered by the Legis- latures. The Immigration and Indus trial Agents of the various railroads entering Alabama have been invited to attend. being especially interested in what the Chief Executive of the State has to submit upon the subject.
 Announcement Is also officially made for the first time of the consent of Capt. Richard Pearson Hobson to at tend and address the convention upon Alabama in Relation to the Panama Canal" No one in Alabama is more competent than Captain Hobson to han dlc this subject instructively. and del- egates are looking forward to an ad- dress bristling with interest and en- thusiasm. In Governor Cunningham and Captain Hobson the Association has secured two of the most eloquent and logical orators In Alabama today.
 Prominent among the out-of-t town speakers will be H. l.. Mckee of Me ridian. President of the Mississippi Business League organized on the plan of the Alabama Association.

1.-THE MOONsroNE'' INDICATED.
Wilkie Coliins's Masterpiece Practical
 ly Duplicated in Real Life.

DeS MOlneS feBISLeT.
 A story which comes from Oakland, Cal, Is reminiscent of Wilkie Collins s "Moonstone. |" After thirty-five years it would seem as though Collins were vindicated. There are but two improb- able elements in The Moonstone" when 1t Is carefully considered. First that Col John Herncastle could ever have secured and for a half century have retained the famous Indian dla- mond. Second, that Franklin Blake could have stolen It. while under the influence of laudanum, and then have repeated his theft a year later, while again under the influence of the same drug. In the lives of soldiers of for tunes stranger things have actually happened than the theft of a great di- amond from the head of an idol Now an actual occurrence goes to prove that the laudanum incident introduced by Collins into his famous story was not a wild flight of the novelist's imagina- tion.
 The Oakland story Is to the effect that a painter fell from scaffold and

was seriously injured. He was placed
 under an anaesthetic and operated up-
 on. In his unconsciousness he babbled
 continually of a fortune of $1O0,0 900
 winch awaited him In England. When
 the man regained consciousness and the
 surgeons joked him of the supposed
 wild dreams which the anaesthetic had
 caused, the mans brain completely cleared from the shadow which had long hung over 1t and he proved that the fortune did actually await him. Subsequent developments show the mans story to be substantially true.
 It was something like thirty-fve years ago that Wilkie Collins used this very idea as the chief mystery of his famous story. Readers of The Moon stone will recall that Collins quotes scientific works in his novel to prove his theories. He tells of London DOT ter who was intrusted with a valua- able package to deliver. but who be- came intoxicated and on sobering could not remember where he had left the package. The ncxt time he was drunk, however he remembered the entire af- fair, and secured the package where he left it. Collins then adapted this in- cident to his own needs. Franklin Blake, unused to laudanum, was given a heavy dose, and while under the in toxicating effects of the drug went to the room of Rachael Vandiver and stole the Moonstone. Next day, when the sedative effects of the drug had pass ed away, Blake had absolutely nc of his nights action. Col lins keeps Blake In the ignorance for q year, and then gives him an inkling of the truth The experiment is tried of reproducing the surroundings as as possible as they had been when the Moonstone disappeared and under the influence of another dose of laudanum Blake repeats his visit.
 The Oakland story differs in some from the Collins incident, but the dominating idea is the same For almost two decades The Moon- stone" has been looked upon as one of the best examples of imaginative writing extant. But Collins Is in a fair way to follow Jules Verne. Inn aginary fiction has a peculiar habit of becoming practical fact almost before the scofing is over.

The first route in Alabama was established in Opelika in 1896 during President Cleveland's administration. Post master General Wilson requested Hon. c. P. Harrison, who then represented this district in Congress. to select a locality in his district for the estab- lishment of rural delivery route and he selected Opelika.
