TO THE EDITOR OF THE MESSAGE:
For the benefit of your patrons
and townspeople the Sunday Post
Dispatch will issue free a series of
most remarkable pictures of the
Worlds Universal Exposition.
The first picture of the series
will be issued with the Sunday
Post Dispatch on May %.
These pictures are not cOlOred
photographs, bnt are reproductions
in colOrs of original oil painting
by great artists, the most striking
pictures of the Fair that have
been produced. They portray ac-
curarely in all of the original col
ors the artists wonderful concep-
ton of what visitors will actually
see in St. Louis
Magnificent buildings, lagoOns,
cascades, beautifully shaded path
ways, capable Of reproduction only
by the artists brush, in every de-
tail is amazingly presented.
The artist has painted the great
mass of sightseers SO carefully that
one cannot fail to realize at a
glance what,a cosmopolitan center
the st. Louis Fair will be. So
wonderfully lifelike are these pie
lures.
These pictures are ready ia
frame. Those who do not want
to frame them will surely keep
them as souvenirs Of the greatest
Fair that has been or ever will be
attempted. This is really a rare
opportunity and it will not be re,
allied until the first Of the series
has been received by the. Post Dis.
patch readers. Then there will be
a scramble. Many will be disap.
pointed, for it win be impossible
to fill back orders.
1t is important, therefore, that
that your prtrons give their order
to the local newsdealer as soon al
possible This will avoid disap-
pointment. Yous fraternally,

JUDGE PRICE TO BONE.
Confirms Some Things About Ashland
School Bonds.

Judge Frank c. Price of Ashland
has written a letter to H j. Bone
concerning the charge made by the
friends of T. T. Kelly, that Mr. Bone
sold the school fund some Ashland
school bonds in a manner parallel with
the Comanche county bond deal. Judge
Price was away from home at the
time the Kelly organs first published
the statement
Judge Price was for eleven years
judge of that judicial district and no
man stands higher down there than
he. He was director of the Ashland
to were sold, and hence understands
the circumstances. His letter to Mr..
Bone is as follows:
''Mr. H ]. Bone. Topeka. Kan;

you refused to accept anything We
owed a bonded debt of the district
amounting to $7,500.O0 and bearing
it up with you, had the bonds accept
ed by the state at 4 y per cent. The
only expense the district was put to
at all was $4,000 for printing the
charge made by the fiscal agency.
Your services were greatly appreciat-
ed by the school board as we'll as by
the tax payers of the school district,
and a willingness has frequently been
expressed to pay you for your services
but your reply was that you were in
terested in common with the other tax
payers here and would make no

lous to notice, and here where you

hospital in an ambulance
Pottinger positively refuses to name
the man who stabbed him, saying that

physicians at the hospital say that he
IS in no danger, and will recover, al

serious when he was taken to the hos
pital.

gathered, and an old gentleman, the

STRIKE AT MIDNIGHT.
Is Threatened by Coal Hosting En-
gineers of Illinois.

Chicago, Oct 31-CoaI hoisting engi-
neers have served notice on the Ili1-
nois Coal Operators association that
every union engineer in the bituminOus
fields of the state will strike at mid
night tonight. Unless the walkout is
aVerted, the owners admit it will cause
shut down of practically every one of
the 250 mines in Illinois, and nearly
volved will be thrown out of work.

templated strike consists of a demand
on the part of the Illinois Coal Opera
tors association that the engineers ac-
cept a reduction of 5.55 per cent in
wages.
