The Pike has in the Tyrolean Alps the
finest concession that / have ever seen.
There is great square with many quaint
buildings, a little village street, and above
the snow-clad mountains which look very
real as the evening falls. The best scenic
glimpses of the Alps, and there is a very
graphic exposition OF the Oberammergau
passion play in the lits-e church. The
Cliff Dwellers' concession also looks very
realistic at nightfall. 1t is elaborate in ar
rangement, and the counting, snake and
other dances by the Southwestern Indians
make it another of the Pike shows which
should be taken in by all. In Seville there
is an amusing marioDette theatre and some
genuine Spanish dancing. For the rest the
Pike offers infinite variety, and as a rule
the full moneys worth is given. The enor-
nous Jerusalem and Boer War concessions
are not on the Pike.
1t is a case of dine at the German Pa
viion and die at the Exposition. In a
beautiful Moderne Kunst building adjoin-
ing Das Deutsche Haus the best food and
the highest prices on the grounds are to be
found the table d'hote lunch and dinner
costing 81 and s., respectively. There is
also la carte service. Everything consid-
cred the prices are not excessive, and at
least one meal should be taken there for
the experience. Another should be taken

An Indian Game Fowl That is Very

Not often does the price of single
egg climb to 500, but this is what was
offered for each Of the eggs of GER
tain Indian game hen, which vas
brought to England some time ago.
For centuries the Indian game, or
Azeel fowls, have been the very apex
of the game breed, for the puleness Of
blood and pedigree have been most
carefully preserved for so long that
the date of the origin Of the race has
been lost in the past.
1t is almost impossible to procure
specimens of the purest blood. for they
are treasured by the Indian sportsman
at the highest value.
AS game fowl they are great Tight

August sth: Conttnned cloudy and
showery weather has prevailed dur
Ing the week, which kept the tempera-
ture below the normal. and proved not
very satisfactory for the principal
crops. The soil has been kept too wet
for the completion Of laying by cot
ton, which should be In full progress.
and a number OF fields In the central
part OF the State are becoming very
weedy. All crops have made an ex
ce1lent growth, and are looking heal
thy and fresh; corn in particular has
made satisfactory advancement. and
the stands are everywhere considered
the best for number OF years. Cot
ton is growing rapidly, but in most
sections it is feared that the growth Is
too rapid and that too much of the
strength is taken up by the weed. The
squares and the fruit, however, are
well grown, and are well distributed
over the plant. The crop has suffered
considerably from the continued wet
spell, by being caused to shed; and
this complaint is becoming general in
the eastern and central counties, and
in few scattered places in the west
ern. A number of fields are showing
indications Of rust. No serious dam
age, however, has been reported from
either Of these causes. ThreshinK
wheat and oats are nearing compile
ton in the western part Of the State.
and the harvesting and housing Of
oats is in progress in the extreme
west; but the work has been inter
rupted seriously by the wet weather.
The hay in the extreme western coun-
ties is excellent, and some has been
saved in good condition, but this work
also has been checked by the rains,
and much hay has been spoiled. The
pastures in that section are excellent
Tobacco curing is general now in the
eastern and central counties; the
leaves are curing well, and the crop
may be considered a fair one. There
is some complaint of rust and Of
leaves turning yellow. Irish and
sweet potatoes are turning out well.
The reports in regard to the peanut
crop are more encouraging this week
than heretofore; the majority Of the
reports seem to indicate a fair crop.
There are, however, a number of COM
plants of poor and slightly backward
stands. Gardens and cabbages are ex-
cellent, especiallysin in the western part
OF the State. Some blackberries have
been picked in the western counties.
Pears, peaches and grapes are fair

The Philippine section covers no less

free, but twenty-five cents is charged to go
into each of the four native villages, which
are intensely interesting. The villages run
along Arrowhead Lake, and the inhabi-
tants all have some way of entertaining
their visitors. The Igorottes. who wear as

FRIDAY, MARCH IL, 1904.

The opposition of the state admins
tration to an investigation of the capitol
fire serves only to intensity the public
demand for the facts regarding the
burning of the capitol. The belief is
general throughout the state that the
fire was due to the gross carelessness
and inefficiency of those specially en-
ployed to protect the building, and it
will be difficult to convince the state
otherwise with the state administration
Directing to an investigation to fix the
blame or to exonerate those deemed re-
sponsible for the loss. The legislature
next winter will be called upon to take
steps to provide another capitol, but it is
hardly possible that such will be done
without determining in advance the re-
sponsibility, il any, for the recent fire.
In the meantime, however, the La Fol
lette administration will have made its
campaign and won out or been turned
down by the party in advance OF an in
vestigation and the fixing of the respon-
sibility This has rendered the avoid
ance of an investigation desirable at this
time. -Waukesha Dispatch.

Taxation Reforms,

Gov. La Follettes literary bureau is
distributing a ten-page circular in which
with many words, more juggling of fig
ures and no end of quibbling, the gov.
ernor attempts to explain the enormous
increase in the expenses of the state dur
ing his administration. The essential
facts which the governor evades are:
o. That the expenses have increased
beyond any precedent u That the tax
payers of the state have to raise every
dollar expended; 81 That no amount of
explanations will return the money tn
the pockets OF the tax payers.
To sum it up briefly the cost OF carry
ing on the state government for the past
year was nearly 100000 in excess of
what it was the previous year; and the
previous twelve months exceeded the
year preceding that by nearly 100000.
Where did this money go? In many
directions, For instance, the governor
hired many more game wardens than
every before and paid them $4,000 or
$4,000 more than was ever paid in any
one year before. Some of the game war
dens worked so hard that they charged
the state with 81 days each for the
months of April and September.
Then the governor added eleven men
at an increased expense of $4,000 per
year to his labor roll. Not an extra man
was need for the work, but politically the
extra men were very useful to him.

THESE are busy days on the World s
Fair grounds at st. Louis. The scene
may be likened to that on the stage of
theater on the opening night of some
play. Everywhere there is a hustle of
preparation. The players are putting on
the finishing touches of their makeup.
The stage hands are hurriedly but care
fully setting the scenery: Everything
must be ready at the appointed hour
and perfect in every detail. Call boys
hurry from one dressing room to another,
warning the tardy actor that there is
just so much time left. There is no ex-
cuse to offer when the curtain rises On
the picture. So 1t is at st. Louis. Every
indication points to a completed exposi-
ton when the button is pressed on April
30, throwing open for the inspection of
the world the gates of the greatest of
worlds fairs. The last artistic touches
are being applied to the exhibit palaces.
Beautiful landscape pictures are being
set. Contractors of minor structures are
being warned that only so much time
remains for construction and they must
hurry.
