Visitors Enjoy the
Worlds Fair at Little Cost
First-class Accommodations Furnished
for Thousands Within the
Grounds-ReserVatiO Can
Be Made in Advance
If Desired.

The folks who raised a hue and cry
about the lack of accommodations at
the Worlds Fair and the prospects of
high prices at hotels have had to take
a back seat, for the Worlds Fair man
agement, keenly alive to the fact that
! accommodations and moderate rates
must be furnished to the people, to as
sure the success of the Fair, have built
right within the grounds a magnificent
hotel, capable of entertaining tens of
/ thousands of visitors. This hotel which
! is called The Inside Inn, surpasses In
size. in general equipments and in con-
veniences anything ever before at
tempted in the way of worlds fair ac-
cOmmOdatiOnS. 1t stands in the south
east corner of the grounds, 200 feet
above the level of the city and is read
/ lily reached from the Union Station by
the Market St, Laclede and Couteau
Ave. car lines, or from any of the EX-
position gates by means of the Intra-
mural Railway which passes its DOORS
It is three stories high, with broad
verandas extending round the entire
building. 1t is 400 feet wide and 500
! feet long, contains 2,257 bedrooms and
/ has d dining room capable Of seating
/ 2, 500 people at a single meal. The inn
/ is run on both the American and Euro
pean plans, and the rates vary from
/ $3.50 to $3.50 per day, European, and
/ from 800 to $500, American, including
admission in both classes. The range
of prices is determined solely by the
size and location of the rooms-al
guests having equal dining room privi-
geles. To those whose visit to the Ex-
position must be snort, the convenience
of thus living within the grounds can
not be overestimated- All wearisome

The Western Pariah.

There is a deal of coyote hunting in the
west that is not attended by the nicetics
of the club hunt. Ever since the first pio-
neers pushed their way across the great
plains the coyote has been an outlaw,
looking for no mercy at the hand of man.
His predatory habits have made the ami
NAL the bane of the ranchman, and his
howl has made him the evaporation OF
the camper and the terror of the tender
foot. Then, too, his habit of skulking
just within rifle range has always made
him a tantalizing target for the man with
the rifle.
In spite of his unpopularity with all
classes of men, however, the coyote has
managed to hold his own better than any
telope is swifter on foot, may be, but, not
having the cunning of the coyote, has
been lured within rifle range until practi-
caly extermlnated in many states. The
ranchman's lust for fresh meat, the east
ern tourists desire for antlers and elk
market have depOpulated Colorado and
several other states of their best game

The Rock Island has given the
handling and placing of all its large
line of insurance to the Manley-Mc-
Lehman agency of Duluth. Heretofore
the road has been carrying its own
risk on rolling stock and small prop
critics and insuring with the stock

April Statement Poor.
It is now admitted that the April
statement of the Rock Island will be
an exceptionally poor one, but the
1 Moores do not appear to be worrying
about the course of the issues of the
company. They have been out of the
market for some time, and it is not
likely that they will take any interest
/ in it for several months. The COM
mon shares of Rock Island responded
only slightly to the late advance,
which can be taken as a fair indica-
ton of the attitude of inside inter
ests.

independence Disappointed in It's New
Depot Prospects.

Independence, Kan, June "A
year or so ago the Missouri Pacific
railway people caused great excite
ment in independence by allowing it
to become rumored about that a new
passenger station would be built here.
Surveyors drove stakes for the site
and then the railroad became a suf-
ferer in the flood that devastated the
valley of the KaW a year ago and all
improvements of this nature that had
been proposed along the system were
said to have been withdrawn in favor
of a policy of retrenchment. 1t is also
said that the depot was in contempla-
ton again this year, but the stakes
that were driven two years ago rotted
off and all trace of where the COM
pany wanted to locate the depot was
lost. This unfortunate happening de-
layed the building OF the proposed
depot and now there is another flood
and there must be more retrenchment.
Now there is every reason to believe
that history will be repeated by the
Santa Fe. Two months ago the build
ing of an elegant brick passenger sta
ton was to have been commenced. 1t
was to be built on the site of the old
elevator that went up in smoke a
short time ago, and if there is any
kind of a site that would look attrac-
tive to the Santa Fe now it ought TO
be an elevated site.
No information about passenge
stations can be extracted from either
railroad company today and it is
thought that nothing will be given out
by the Santa Fe until the water in
the Verdigris goes down In regard
to the Missouri Pacific depot it is said
that George Gould has not been heard
from since he personally visited this
city a few weeks ago. He descended
from his special car While here and
I stepped off the ground for the new
depot, but he would only talk of the
matter in whispers to his private sec
rotary, and 1T was at this time thai
the stakes driven by the sur
veyors years ago were found to be
rotted away. 1t is now understood
that the matter has been taken VI
with the lumber company that fur
nished the stakes.

ground to the iron casting between the
hour and the minute spaces, are gen
orally gilded. According to their size,
they vary in thickness and weight.
Such a one as the Toronto dial COM
pleted would not weigh much under
four tons.
With the making of the actual works
there is not space to deal mere, and a,
description of them would only puzzle
the lay mind. They are a mass of COM
plicated but delicate machinery, and
constitute veritable marvel OF me-
chanical construction.
OF course, no tower clock would be
complete without its bells. and though
the component parts of the metal from
which these are cast are no secret, their
ma king calls for much judgment and
skill. There must, of course, be the
! proper proportions of tin and copper,
the scientific mixing of them in the
furnace and one must know the exact
moment to run the metal into the
mould, after the cores from which the
bells are shaped have been built up
and dried.
| Then there is the tuning of them. To
! tune a bell is declared to be a most diff
f1cult business, because when struck it
sounds a trio of notes instead of one.
! Consequently, it requires an expert ear
to catch the dominant note By a spe-
cial machine, the invention of the firm
in question, this difficulty has been
| largely overcome and the operation of
| tuning much simplified.
By the aid of this clever contrivance
the tuning can be accomplished so
gradually that the variations Of the
note are only distinguishable to the
| trained ear.
The bell is inverted 1t is held sta

manner the bell is toned either up or

Island and Shore roads.
1t consists of a steel under the
ties and clamped to the rail in such a
way as to insure rigidity. This, the
inventor claims, will prevent creep

breaking and obviate the expense of
tamping joints.
