EXPOSITION BUILDING
WORkMEN ARE RUSHING WORK
ON STRUCTURE RAPIDLY As
POSSIBLE.
Large Force Of Men Employed Are
Busy Every Minute and by Saturday
Only Minor Details Will Be Left.

Superintendent Gilbreath of the
State Industrial exposition discov'
cred that large refrigerator was
needed to preserve perishable exhibits,
particularly butter. He took the mat
ter up with himself and concluded
that there was only one sure way to
secure the much needed ice room and
this was to build it. So a force of
workmsn are now busy on the con-
struction of big brick refrigerator
and cold storage to connect directly
with the main building. It is not
known just what dimension the i'm
provement is to be, but from appear
ances it will be large enough to store
butter, fruits and vegetables for the
American army.
With the opening of the big show
merit Tuesday the work on the cold
storage plant will have to be rushed
to have it ready in time and the work
is being pushed along as rapidly as
possible.
There are no idlers in the army en-
ployed around the big building. Every
man makes his work felt, and when
Saturday night comes there will re-
main only minor details to look after.

distressing accident took place on the
Lindsey farm southeast of Crosby
when Donald Reckner, aged 6, had his
right leg badly cut between the knee

flax and stopped to clean the guards
Of the sickle. The boy was nearby,
when he became frightened at a coy
ote AMI ran to where Lindsey was at
work. He had his right leg just in
side the grain guard when the horses
took a step, one of the reel Stats
struck the boy on the head and he
gave a cry which started the horses.
Mr.. Lindsey grasped the situation i'm
mediately and jumped on the platform
of the binder and lifted the boy from
in front of the machine, which un-
doubtedly save his life.
DR.. Lancaster was summoned imme-
diately and after an examination
found that amputation of the lower
part of the leg would be necessary.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Sept
21-The inquiry into the assassina

ed, is being conducted personally by
the minister of justice, M. Chichegiev

Already there are indications OF
much completely on the part of prom

than those so far published are pro

partmental discord. Governor Gen
eral Trepoff demanded general over
sight of the protective measures, but
was overridddens BY the director OF
the department of police, M. Kurlofl
Verigin. He then rendered his resig'
nation, which was not accepted.
While Verigin and Kurloff were at

throwing a Gordon about the theatre
and checking the work Of the secret

escape of Bogroff.

how the general kept the resolution

kindly, found that he had given his

stead of reprimanding the boy, Wash.

boy was sent to the hospital with a

Although this Is the last record that
can be found of how Washington kept
his birthday, undoubtedly later ami
versaries were marked by deeds Of
kindness equal to those Of his early
years.

enlisted in the Seven Years war;
He spent his twenty-second birthday
amid warlike scenes at Fort Duquesne,
now Pittsburg, where he commanded
a regiment against the French. On
the eve of that birthday Washington
gave bountifu1 supper to all the men
of his regiment, and gave a good.sized
sum of money to one of the men to
be sent home to the wife and little
ones whom the soldier had left In al.
most destitute circumstances.
There are many lapses Of the rec

how he spent them, but in 1856 he
writes to friend: II am growing

There Is no record Of what the 'in-
closure" was, but we are led to believe
that 1t brought comfort to both the
sender and recipient.
On January g., 1859, at the age of
81, Washington married Martha Gus
tbs. and for the time being all the aus
terity of the young patriot was sunk
in the tenderness of the lover. He
marked his birthday that year by dis
tributing gifts lavishly among his
slaves and by ordering that certain
poor widow near the Washington es-
tate should be served with two quarts
of milk and three eggs daily, free of
charge, as long as she lived, the bill,
Of course, to be met by Washington.
For time after his marriage, Wash
ington withdrew from public life and
set about cultivating his acres. It
was on the 22d of February. not many
years after he had turned benedict,
that he and Mrs. Washington were
sleighing and making unusually merry
in honor Of the day. AS the hour near
ed noon, both George and Martha dis
covered that they were "monstrous
hungry" and that they were miles
away from inn or tavern. Pulling up
In front of a little cottage, George
made bold to ask the little lady who
appeared at the door in answer to his
rapping, for bite and sup" to stay
their pangs. 1&
The stranger proved hospitable, and
after showing them the way to tiny
barn, where there was feed for the
horse, she spread the cloth in the
kitchen and invited her guests to par.
take of her simple fare. a
