Trains of Today.

When the morning dawned the
clouds hung heavy and a light rain
had fallen during the night. The first
Thoughts turned to the possible
crowd coming to the corn palce. The
indications were dead against very

a rain storm during the day,
and some apprehension was
felt until the arrival Of the trains

vance information received on the
trains was that the crowds were
large, but the people were hardly
prepared for the immense number
who zane on them and the regular
trains from the north and west.
The fourth Sioux City special came
up this morning with a crowd of
400 people. The Canton special had

on the Sioux reservation came a
goodly number of people who have
never before had a chance to get into

When the regular train came in from
the north another good crowd came
OF the eight coaches, which number

were many who had been here early

HIS VISION WAS NARROW

Hammar I'D home.

The following Is taken from the
Sunday Sioux City Journal:
The Mitchell corn palace Is not
being rewarded with the patronage
that was predicted for it. according
to Chief Of Police Dineen, who re-
turned from the South Dakota
city yesterday. Although Temporary
quarters to house hund reds OF visit
ors, whom 1t was expected could not
ind proper accommodations In the
hotels and rooDing houses were
scarcely filed the first two days Of
the big exhibition.
AS to the success Of the attraction
as an exhibit, the chief said he was
unable to give an opinion. Most of
the visitors seemed satisfied, while
y great many were OF an entirely
different mind. There are almost as
many Rrafters operating there as
there were at the live stock fair
here, but there we're not, so far as
the CHEF vas aware, any gambling
houses in operation.
The above, IL true, would be quite
a stinger for Mitchell, and what
actuated the chief of talk that way
We do not understand. Barring the
first day Of the corn palace the
crowds In this city were very large
all the time, with two record break
ing days to u credit. The chief
was here evidently Friday and Sat-
urdaY and IL his-eyes were open at
all be could have seen that the
streets were crowded with people on
those occasions and that n the after
noon aud evening Of Friday and the
Afternoon Of Saturday that s.;c cora
palace had capacity audiences, not to
mention Thursday. II the chief Is
not satisfied that cuts little figure,
for Mitchell was exceedingly well
pleased With the patronage that 1t
received. The chief might be q
little sore because Sioux City has lost
the corn palace idea,:. but that should
not afford him an opportunity to use
his hammer against a city which
turns as much business to the whole.

UNCLE SAM WANTS STACK
OF GOLD HALF MILE HIGH

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 90
A hundred and fifty million dol
lars-that's a lot of money.
That's the amount which the
government is going to put into
circulation, as the result OF the
sale of the same value of 3 per
cent treasury notes and Panama
bonds.
Now let's just figure out how
big a sum this hundred and fifty
million dollars is. Let us take
gold, the standard, as our basis.
A million dollars in gold coin
weighs, in round numbers, two
tons.
If a millionaire were called
upo nto cash in and carry off his
gold in a hurry, he would not be
able to get away with much of it,
unless he had couple of wagons
with good, stout horses.
About 40 pounds is what man
can pack on, his back. In gold
coin this would not be more than
$4,000, and it is the history OF
great DdHh anu u an lobUCiiCo III
which gold coin has figured that
one man can get away with little
more than this amount.
A million dollars in gold coin
will make pile containing II
cubic feet. Suppose it to be
stacked, it would be II feet high
about as high as three tall men
standing on each others shout
derS.
Now, suppose $50 of these II
foot gold columns set in a row
and this will represent the amount
of boarded money which Uncle
Sam evil put back into circulation
as the result Of the sale of treas
ury notes.
Put these $50 foot-square col
umns of gold in one pile, atop o.
each other, and they would reacf
almost half mile toward the sky
That much money ought to re
