Preparing for the Fair --- SEDALIA, MISSOURI, SATURDAY JUNE 3. 1905 SOME WORDS OF WISDOM. "The race that gets most out of the soil, out of the wood, out of the kitchen, out of the schoolroom, the doctor's office or the pulpit, is the race that is going to succeed, regardless of all obstacles." "No one can degrade you; you, yourselves, are the only individuals who can inflict that punishment." "It often requires more courage to suffer in silence than to rebel; more courage not to strike back than to retaliate; more courage to be silent than to spaak." (Extracts from Dr. Booker T. Washington's Hampton Institute speech.)

THE TUNNEL BUILDING In comparing the four great tunnels of the world there is seen to be a very remarkable decrease in time and cost of the successive works. The Hoosac tunnel, in Massachusetts, the oldest of the four, cost $379 a foot; the Mont Cenis of Europe, the next in date, cost $356 a foot; the t. Gothard, likewise in the Old World, cost $229 a foot, and the Arlberg cost only $154 a foot. This rapid decrease in cost, within comparatively few years, is a marked indication of the great progress in mechanical methods and improvement in rock-excavating tools. A still more striking result exists in the case of a tunnel through the Cascade mountains, on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad. This, unlike those named, which were excavated in old settled countries, the terminal easy of access, was in a GREAT MUSICALE Springfield Missouri Leads in Producing Classical Concerts-Select Talent from Other Cities Take The churches of Springfield, Mo., have given a very high class of musical and Literary Recitals this spring, which have been a great improvement over the common entertainments usually Given by communitier. For these entertainments some of the best talent of the race have been employed. First, Miss Inez C. Parker, a poetess of Rolla, Mo., was secured and she recited her own poems to the delight of the public. Second, Miss Jeanne Alston Kelly, a contralto Soloist of great reputation as a musical artist not only in America, but in Europe, came and by her renditions placed the standard of musical recitals very high. Miss Kelly recently opened a studio in St. Louis, Mo., and is succeeding well. Third, Madam Lucas of Kansas City, Kans., was the next to appear. The people rate her very high for she is a woman of merit. Mrs. G. Harvey Mickey, of St. Louis, Mo., came as the fourth attractions. Her musical recital was well received. The Fifth and last of the series of musical recitals was given with Miss V. Willene Jackson of Sedalia, Mo., as the principal character. Miss Jackson is a Soprano Soloist of great merit. She possesses a melodious voice and attracted great attention. The very high standard set by the singers who preceded her was not lowered in her entertainment.

Rivers had to be turned aside, bridges had to be built and material transported over improvised roads through nearly one hundred miles of forest, mud and snow fields, yet the tunnel, which is sixteen and one-half feet wide, twenty-two feet high, and eight thousand nine hundred and fifty feet long, was bored through the mountains in twenty-two months, at the rate of four hundred and thirteen feet a month and a cost of the completed tunnel of only $118 a foot.
