LOW RATE ATTRACTS
FEW TO EXPOSITION
People Waiting Till Fair is in Full
Swing-MaDy Turner's Go
Tomorrow.

Despite the fact that the c. b. d q.
and the G. r. La p. railroads yester-
day offered the low excursion rate of
So from Rock Island to st. Louis and
return, holding good seven days, few
went from this city TO see the world 5
fair. In speaking of the effect the
excursion rates had upon the passen-
ger traffic, one of the leading railway
officials of the city said: The rates
offered did not bring One-fOurth as
many people as we had expected they
would. / think that the lightness of
passenger travel to St. Louis can be
attributed to the fact that every one
is waiting until all the buildings are
completed and all the attractions are
ready for exhibition"
The same excursion rates offered
yesterday will again be made the 27th
of this month. but as yet it is not
known that the railroads will make
special excursion rates next month.
Tomorrow is Iowa day at the
worlds fair. and there will be over
one hundred members of the Iowa
Turner society of Davenport. and a
few from Rock Island go. leaving here
road on Il specially equipped train to
Peoria where they take the {. =. q
st. l.. road for the exposition city. the
rate being So for the round trip, allow
ing a stop-over of seven days. Also be-
ginning tomorrow at St. Louis is the
saengerfest which lasts one week, and
this attraction will be drawing card
to many who intend going to the
worlds fair.

In certain parts of the Himalaya
mountains the native women have II
singular way of putting their children
to sleep in the middle OF the day. The
child is put near a stream of water,
and by means of palm leaf or tin
scoop the water is detected so as to
run over the back of the child's head.
The water pouring on the child's head
apparently sends it to sleep and keeps
II so. while the mother proceeds with
her work in the fields. No one seems
TO fear that baby may be drowned
