gentlemen on the exposition pier.

The great crowd which sought the
exposition grounds was hampered by
insufficient transportation facilities.
The trolley roads leading from Norfolk
to SewelPs Point, the site of the ex-
position, were congested early in the
morning and moved their cars with
the greatest difficulty. The docking
facilities for the scores of excursion
steamers also were insufficient and
many boats laden with passengers
were held up off the shore for hours.

FOR A WAY OUT.
(Coatfnucd from Page One.)

| well, if there is a way out of the
| present dilemma let us find it, said
Mr.. Crosby, for a fair will be of in
| calculable benefit to Shawnee county
| A lot of you will remember back in
| 1888 when we had a big fair here. The
| crowds from out of town were so great
stairways. That's the kind of fair
we want to have again. We want to
get the people here
Mr.. Sterne suggested that if the
county could not levy a tax for the
fair there ought to be little trouble in
raising the money necessary for the
fair among those who were so enthus-
iastic for it.
Mr.. Crosby replied that if the coun-
| ty helped out the people would raise
the money for the finest premium list
that was ever offered in the state of
Kansas.
his suggestion that the two mills be
levied and the money raised. even
| though it could not be expended on
the present grounds. He said that
with this money in hand the county
would be in fine position to go be-
fore the legislature and ask for a state
fair and that the legislature would not
hesitate to amend the enabling act SO
that this money could be expended on
the present fair grounds.
Suppose the next legislature should
turn down the proposition" said Com
missioner Simms. what would be done
There's no danger of the legislature
not amending the law" came from
half dozen of those present.
Mr.. w. I. Miller also expressed the
opinion that it would be well to raise
the money anyway. 1t would have
great weight with the legislators when
the request for the establishment of
the state fair here was renewed two
years hence.
Mr.. J. P. Davis then moved that Mr..
Crosby. Mr. Frost and Mr.. Neal be
named as a special committee to con-
fer with Mr.. Schenck, the county at
torney, and see if some plan could not
be hit upon which would permit the
county commissioners to help out to-
wards the .esta blishment of fair here
this fall. This motion was carried I'M
animously and the conference between
the delegation and the commissioners
was concluded.
Bricks Made of Dirt.
Bricks made out of dirt may be used
in the contracts which the city may let
this spring Bricks manufactured out
of clay are ancient as the hills of clay
almost But bricks out of dirt, any
old kind of dirt. is something decidedly
new.
The Egyptians, who were past mas
tiers at the art of brick making and
juggled with adobe bricks-though
they didn't call them that-however,
never approached what this Kansas
company has set out to do-to make
vitrif1ed bricks out of pure, simple
dirt.
The secret of the process by which
the bricks are made is jealousy guard
ed and promoters of the company re-
fuse to allow chemical analysis to
be made for. fear that a rival COM
pany may build up from the results of
the discovered secret.
H. A Kingsley, a resident of Topeka,
is interested in the Kansas company
owning the right to manufacture the
particular kind of brick in this state
and is thinking seriously of asking |
the city council to test it as paving |
material.

HE STOOD ON a TABLE.
The President Had Much Trouble
With sn IInruIy Audience

jamestown Exposition Grounds
April 26.-President Roosevelt began
his address at 1906 O'Clock. That he
might better be seen and heard, he
mounted a table which raised him
high above the heads of his audience.
He was greatly concerned by the
danger in the crowd to women ard
children. To discourage enthusia SIN
he said al the outset that he should
make the speech as much a mono
logue as possible
Speaking directly to the crowd
grounds the president, at the top of
his voice. earnestly requested that the
people refrain from erowding. He
called attention to the fact that there
were women and children in front
and said;
IF there is one thing that marks a
body of Americans and especially a
body Of Virginians. it is that they take
good care of women and children"
This had the effect of stopping the
danger for q time, but it was not long
before the peoples enthusiasm again
swept away all semblance of order
and General Grant sent q squad of
cavalry out in the throng. This move
it is believed. is all that saved the i'm
'nense gathering from breaking
through the ropes and lines of guards
in which event there must have been
many casualties.
A broiling sun poured down on the
distinguished guests seated in the
front row of the grand stand and the
president commanded them to keep
