BIG HOTEL IN THE WOODS.
Tavern inside the Worlds Fair
Grounds, Surrounded by a
Forest, Offers a Luxur-
iouS and ReStful
Retreat.

The comfort for the visitor to an eY-
position was never the subject for so
much intelligent thought and prepare
tion as it has been at the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition at st. Louis.
One of the features that cannot fail to
appeal to the visitor is the convenience
and comfort afforded by the Inside Inn,
structure of 2,257 rooms, covering an
area Of 400 by 800 feet, wholly within
the Worlds Fair grounds.
Probably no hotel ever built COM
mands a view SO diversified or grand.
From the wide verandas that surround
the mammoth structure a wonderful
panorama spreads before one. Many of
the state buildings, with their giant and
magnificent structures, present their
most attractive facades. Some of the
foreign buildings may be seen, and the
forest Of towers and turrets, domes and
minarets, rising above the great exhibit
palaces and seen through the forests Of
real trees that surround the hostelry,
give token Of the other glories that lie
beyond.
A leisurely walk of five minutes will
front Of Festival Hall, the center of the
iudiu plCCuiS VI Vic CApOSlUlOll, UI0
grandest spectacle ever produced by
man. Another five minutes walk and
the visitor may find himself on the Pike,
street Of amusement, a full mile long,
with the shows Of all nations in gay and
enticing array.
In the ten minutes walk many Of the
main exhibit palaces have been passed.
These comprise the largest and grand
est collection of architectural triumphs
ever assembled in any one place. Not
withstanding it's close proximity to
these scenes of gaiety and splendor,
noise and confusion, the Inside Inn
offers delightful retreat. During the
noon hour the visitor may retire for a
brief rest and resume his delightful
task Of sightseeing refreshed and all
the more able to appreciate and enjoy
the Worlds Fair wonders.
The rates at this hotel within the
grounds are no higher than those charg-
ed elsewhere. A good room may be had
for $1.50 per day, including admission
to the grounds. Other rooms may be
had up to $500 per day, according tc
the Injuries demanded. There is res.
taurant in the building with seating
capacity for $500.

Iowa Drainage Acts Signed.

Governor Cummins has signed the
drainage acts passed by the recent leg
islature, and they will become laws
with publication. They will permit
county authorities to establish drainage
districts and build bitches across pri-
vate lands at the expense of the owners
of property abutting on the bitches.
The governors objection was the omis-
sion from the law of a provision giving
the owners of land which might be
damaged by the construction Of the
bitches sufficient ground for claims for
damages. He was shown that if the
law contained such provision it
would stop effectively all such improve
ments in the state. Under the new law
it is believed that hundreds Of thous-
ands of acres of swampy land will be
reclaimed.

Attention
Farmers

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
Go South where you can
work out doors every month
in the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are
stock raiser you know your
stock are now "eating their
heads off, and, besides, have
to be protected from the rigors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination of
both flesh-forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro-
portions. Alabama and Florida
produce in abundance the vel
vet bean and cassava, the first a
flesh producer, the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening
material known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gen
eral farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck gardening
along our road in the South
than in any other section of
the Union.
If you are interested and
desire further information on
the subject, address

auditor January 10 of this year. The
two principal characters in the fight
are j. A. Wilson and Frank s. Earn
est. At the initial meeting of the
trustees it is alleged that both Wilson
and Earnest were voted 500 900 shares
of capital stock for their having turned
over to the company their interest in
the Gray Eagle claim, which is alleged
to have been discovered by Wilson.
The information states that meet
ing Of the stockholders was called
May 7. 1t alleges that no notice Of
the meeting was gwen to great many
of the stockholders. One of the re-
lators, Earnest, alleges that he appear
ed at the meeting and objected to it
on the ground that it was not called
according to the bylaws of the COM
pany. Earnest alleges that in spite
of his objection the meeting contin-
ued. and trustees were elected. The
men chosen were Wilson, Oswald and
John w. Smyzer.
Earnest states that the defendants
and Smyzer did not qualify, but sus-
pecting that the meeting was illegal
under which they had been elected,
asked Earnest to call another meeting
to elect trustees. The meeting was
advertised to meet May %. At this
meeting a resolution was introduced
and adopted increasing the number Of
trustees to : FIVE. - Wilson objected
strenuously to this but the resolution
prevailed. Accordingly Harry Cohn,
II. M. Pratt, Frank s. Earnest, w.
f. Cullen and j. L. Phelps were elect.

The information states that Wilson
and Oswald now claim that they are
trustees Of the company, together with
Earnest. They claim that the cleo
ton of May 2s was illegal. The de-
PENDANTS, the information states, re-
fuse to recognize any of the trustees
except Earnest.
The relators have brought this action
to obtain Judgment of custer. against
the defendants. They ask that the
defendants be restrained from acting
as trustees of the company. They also
ask that the court make an order de
claring the REALTORS to be the duly
elected trustees of the company.

Wine GROWERS MEET

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 14.-The
first regular convention Of the newly
organized American Wine Growers
association was called to order at the
Iroquois hotel today. The meeting
will continue for two or three days.
Practically the full strength of the
American wine trade east Of the
Rocky mountains is represented, and
a delegation is also present from
California.
One of the principal objects of the
meeting is to interest the California
growers in the movement for raising
the standard of American wines. The
association, believing that America
can produce as good wines as any
other country in the world, has taken
firm stand against the adulteration
OF American wines, and against their
sale under foreign labels.
