 Tho dispute first arose over the miss ing of some sand by Mir. Blackburn, who is said to have accused the tiiing men of taking 1t. It is supposed he accused the Byars brothers, as they arc charged with the offense. The father resented the accusation and hot words followed warm ones until all employees of both parties arc alleged to have jumped into the fray. Shovels and hoes used In mak- ing the plaster were picked up and put in use, with the result that W. A. Byars, Sr., was struck a terrific blow on the head with a shovel. A gash about three inches long was cut and blood flowed freely. Other participants in the fight suffered more or less. The men will all be tried tomorrow morning before Judge Feagin, of the police court. [

take it. meant not only that there must
be government in heaven but that the
things to be seen in paradise must be
seen in an orderly and systematic man
ner.
The great majority of sight-seers
who come TO the exposition do not
seem to realize the necessity for hav-
ing some well defined plan for doing
the fair" and yet they know perfectly
well that they cannot see il all in the
time usually allotted for the visit. AS
a consequence they wonder aimlessly
about in conformity with no prear-
ranged schedule" and about l o'clock
in the afternoon you see them YEARLY
deposit themselves on the benches

generally go away without knowing
what there is 10 see and without hav-
ing seen it.
The time has gone by for giving
dimensions and cost Of the exposition.
Everybody knows by this time that
it is by far the greatest and most
costly exposition ever held in any coun-
try. They also know that it is the
last great universal exposition that
will be held in our time. As Presi-
dent Francis said the other day in
addressing the Missouri Press associa-
ton. the building of this fair was such
a stupendOus undertaking that no man
or company of men is likely to attempt
such a task again for many years 10
come. And President Francis is GER
tainly qualified TO speak concerning
the work involved in this colossal en-
tcrprise. The exposition has brought
him into the larger lime-light of ma
tionaI interest and attention where he
is revealed as one of the remarkable
men of our times. He eXcites the won
der and admiration of all those who
have any official relation to the expo
stion. Hardly a day passes that he
