Speak the dictates cf your conscience is no violation of law. "Nearer My God To Thee" will call a new song hence forth. Many are the curious few want to look after their own affairs Young man if you receive only small safety, give it to your family. It is fitting that we all should rich, but it is uncertain whether shall or not. President McKinley was conscious to the last and died like a hero, a martyr and a great man. As misery likes company, it could be well to say that Christ served among the poor when he is on earth. There are times when people would lay aside their jealousies and work in harmony for the betment of all the people. President McKinley lived and died a Christian. We will have McKinley's in future. The jointists are living in hope spite the fact that mayor Hugh is still holding down first base. Atchison would do well to give other corn carnival as they can almost any old thing over there now. There are times when forbearance ceases to be a virtue. Hence at time is near at hand when we going after some of those ends who claim to love us so. The young American girl who lashed the King of Spain's camel evidently was from Missouri. Kansas woman would give the faithful Spainard that much nausea. When the time comes there be some squabbling among hungry politicians in somuch those whose clothing has been too small for them since have held a job will be released to the barn yard fromence many of them came, Hon. D. W. Blaine, the agriculture king of Partt county is highly considered to enter the seat congressman at large man. He was a candidate in from the big seventh Dist. political complications were his way and he succumbed to entreaties of his friends It daily expected to note his announcement. We believe in a fair deal, good try for all the people and no social class legislation for none in these are put in force then met out we won't have to go to land to sleep in a decent hoon which to place our feet un the kitchen table, but the din- room will be the reception of hitoned colored people. While Mr Roosevelt is the longest president in our country is not least expected but what will show that statwart nerve presence of mind and foretought to do everything in the power of this Government to give colored people a show for air lives when they are arraign before the lynchers and the common law. We gave the great racer, Chesl. Long a little introductory since last issue and also a littleuch up this week. Now just as ```markdown ``` The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL sure as there is a Heaven we are going after him later on and we will be harged if we will leave any flesh on him, it will be a skinning much deserved on his part, he knows he never made a Negro a spittoon cleaner at Washington in all his great career: and more over there are others thou God seeth, Chief Stahl will go down in History as one man who tried to suppress the liquor traffic in Topeka and thus far he has failed also will Judge Disney of Oakland The assassin of President McKinley has been convicted of murder in the first degree and has been sentenced to Capitol punishment which fate is right. Be as it may the fraternal brother often forgets how to act by the man enlisted in the same business he is. We will give you a few surprises in a few days regarding the farmers and good people of Pratt county what they are doing these days of scarity of corn and wheat Criticism is all right in its place but when a man behind a newspaper undertakes to over ride and criticise a dignitary or any competent gentleman very often the dog returneth to his vomit cast thy bread we may say of revenge on the waters and you may see it many days hence. There are some jealous whit: people in this city who don't like us but we suppose its all because we don't run a joint and call them "lords," There are a number of able and representative colored farmers who are doing well in Pratt county rasing plenty of wheat and other cereals it many of our shawnee county populace who delight to farm would go there and procure some of those cheap lands we would perdict for them much success. The work of cranks have resulted in shooting two Presidents in the U. S. fatal, also the the attempt on the life of President McKinley, two in France, one killed in Kingston Jamaica and a king killed in Italy. It is time to call a halt and destroy the nest of these cranks else in after years when no one is thinking the same acts will follow. None but the right kind of people can stay in business in this city. The devils have refused to pay for the paper and did us all the harm they could but good people stick to us. In regard to the contest now going on by the different churches and given out by Mr, E S, Lee we shall say that the $100 should go to the minister himself. It is the will of the people to give that prize to the minister who holds the highest number of tickers beyond 2000 to the most popular colored minister in Topeka and this is only right and no more, With such man as Richter for Governor Chas F. Scott for congressman at large, Chas Curtis for United States Senator, J. D. Bowersock from second district and a few more lesser light Kansas will soon be back to her rightful fold to which she properly belongs. The above named persons are all good men and will take like hot cake among all classes all of them are acquainted with the ways of the colored people and each of them lives in cities populated by them and they are always willing and ready to promote a colored man's interest. Let the loud mouth politician beware and remember this kind of a coterie when the time comes. --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, SEPT., 21. 1901. EDISON LIGHT COMPANY The success of the Edison Light Company in this and other large cities of the east has been brought to public gaze by none but experienced electricians. Here in Topeka we can feel proud of the Edison company by reason of the fact that for several years Mr. Chas. R. Maunseil who was born with the company came here from Chicago and took superintendency of the company at this place. At that time little attention was given this company but during the last five years under him it has developed into a real concern supporting a giving general satisfaction to the many business men of Topeka: nearly every concern is propelled by electricity, in fact every p inting office even Carrie Nation's paper is off a large press propelled by electricity. If one would stop to think they will readily get the idea that there is nothing easy about electricity, to begin with we are informed that danger is always present, hence you may see at a glance there is nothing easy in studying the principle by which electricity is proven a success Mr. Chas, R. Maunsell the present superintendent was transferred here for the purpose of giving better services to greater Topeka and he is doing that. The rapid growth of the business from incandescent lights to the larger machine power has caused the company at this point to employ more people and pay better prices for work executed than under the old system of dismal and gloom Mr. Maunsell formerly lived in Chicago 22 years and during that time he learned the system to the letter. His acquaintance with the founders of electricity is of long stand and when he speaks of the company he speaks as only capable and experience men can speak. The LEDGER is safe in saying that with Mr. Maunsell at the mast-head of this great concern in Topeka that the city will be a brilliant "star," long as he gives his energies to the success of the business as he has up to the present time. The plant is located on Varn Buren street north of the corner of 8th street and it is worth the curiosity seeker's while to see it in passing in that section. The only thing that a howling mob will say a Negro is fitted for and that is for the army. They say he makes a good soldier while they make the greatest cowards in all earth. The governor of Missouri is an awful nice man. He offered a reward for the right man just the same as though three Negroes who died and thirty families driven from town had no rights that he and his d—n alines should respect. The state of Missouri has again been blotted out in the calendar of decency. We do not censure a lynching as much as we censure an angry mob in executing a purpose of that kind on the wrong man. "It you can tell me of a place where people never die," said the Irishman, "I'll go there an stay till the end of me days." Ex. All women are fair who are respected and honest in our estimation, but driving innocent colored families from their homes at the muzzle of the gun makes it look like an all one sided thing. Many colored people detest and abhor the procedure of an assault on a young lady as much as the white brethern.

A Labette county man has been fined $35 for taking fish with a net. It is becoming frequent in Kansas banks to discover bills of national banks of Honolulu. Attorney General Godard decides that the railroad commissioners have power to make and enforce rates. The crop of dwarf broom corn in the vicinity of Sterling is reported by farmers to be damaged 50 per cent. Kansas now has 333 rural free delivery mail routes and there are 393 applications for new routes pending. The Katy ticket sales at Parsons in July amounted to $6,499.12. more than double the sales in July last year. Fredonia and Beloit have each seven rural delivery routes. No other Kansas town has so many. Topeka has six. Jesse Raush who was being tried in Uniontown, Bourbon county, attacked the justice of the peace and broke his jaw. During July the Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific each handled 200 cars loaded with the products of the cement mill at Iola. The new Santa Fe machine shop at Topeka which is being staked out, is to be 852 feet long and 154 feet wide. Preparations are being made to lay the foundations. Some farmers of Miami county are buying back the cattle they sold when they were scared and are paying 50 cents a hundred advance over the price they received for them. John Demain, of Edwards county, bought a quarter section for $500, with 47 acres of growing wheat. He has threshed $000 worth of wheat from the 47 acres and has pastured the rest of the quarter. Since the Missouri Pacific has made a through line between Topeka and Joplin it only requires a line from Topeka north to the Missouri Pacific lines west from the Missouri river to complete a through line extending from north-western Kansas to New Orleans. Superintendent Nelson of the Wichita trolley lines is figuring on an electric line from Wichita to Geuda Springs, down the west side of the Arkansas river, striking Belle Plaine and Oxford. Mr. Nelson says that it would make a sixty minute run and could be made profitable at the rate of 50 cents for the round trip. The burned Dold packing plant at Wichita is to be rebuilt on a much larger scale. The stock yards company contributes $100,000 to the new building and citizens made up $0,000. When the wires brought the news of the decision of the Dold company to rebuild whistles and bells told the people as per previous arrangement. There are quite a number of citizens of Kansas who hold some office, who have drawn claims in Oklahoma. There are others who took notaries' commissions while there and in applying for them declared themselves citizens of Oklahoma. They now have to meet the legal opinion, which seems to be undisputed, that, taking such commissions and maintaining the required residence on claims, in either case ends their citizenship in Kansas, and also vacates their official positions. The farmers of Dickinson county are cleaning off their corn land with binders preparatory to putting in wheat with cultivators. Those who are through threshing are plowing their wheat ground for the next crop. A mass meeting at Fort Scott of 2,500 people adopted resolutions demanding that Rev. Frazer and others who are insisting upon the enforcement of the prohibitory law leave the city. Arrangements were made for a committee of 50 to see to the execution of the resolution. Frank Milliken, of Santa Fe is to be appointed register of the Dodge City land office, says the Topeka Capital, and L. J. Pettijohn, of Garden City, receiver. W. C. Edwards, ex-secretary of state, has wintered cattle in Western Kansas many years. He says wheat straw is worth $2 a ton; that he builds stacks with alternate layers of straw and kaif corn. He says that the saccharine matter is absorbed from the corn by the straw and the cattle eat the straw first. Along the Neosho and Verdigris rivers there are corn fields that will yield 75 bushels to the acre. Few will yield under 20 bushels. The Kansas & Texas Coal Company, a Topeka concern, has placed an order for ten inch drills for prospecting for oil in the shale district of Western Kansas. Dr. Rafter, who was major surgeon of the twentieth Kansas, has been retired from the hospital service at Manila and will return to Kansas, making his home at Holton. Concordia is to have a sewer system. A fourth crop of alfalfa is being cut on bottom lands. Coffey and Franklin counties have decided to hold fairs. There are now 115,765 pensioners paid from the Topeka agency. Contract has been let to build a new $15,000 jail for Bourbon county. The only John Seaton recently gave his five children $1,000 each in cash. The old soldiers' reunions at both El Dorado and Iola have been abandoned. The last 40 acres of government land in Jewell county was taken last week. It is claimed that the earth has killed off the locc weed in Western Kansas. Drillers struck a heavy vein of crude petroleum fifteen miles north of Fort Scott. It is proposed that the city of Fort Scott issue $0,000 in bonds to bore for gas. A Kansas City man paid a $25 fine for killing five prairie chickens in Ellis county. The Santa Fe shop extensions will add about 12,000 to the population of Topeka. Ida McClure, aged 19, a farmer's daughter of Cherokee county, took strychnine and died. Howard Black passed forged checks at Newton and when arrested he plead guilty. He is a youth. It is believed that Sam Kimble of Manhattan, will be appointed Judge of the Twenty-first judicial district. John W. Corey, of Montgomery county, has 40 acres of corn which he expects to yield 50 bushels to the acre. A Wallace county, Kansas, baby took the prize offered by the Elks of Cripple Creek, Colorado, for the handsomest baby. A mover's horse died in Independence and in 15 minutes enough money was raised to supply its place in front of the prairie schooner. Coffey county claims ten bushels average yield of its corn crop which will make a million bushels. Farmers are looking for stock to feed. William Kern of Baldwin was driving four horses to a disc harrow and was killed by lightning, with three of the horses. There was no rain. The new elevator being erected in Salina to replace the one recently burned will be one of the largest in the state; with a capacity of 70,000 bushels. A head-end collision on the Missouri Pacific occurred at Towanda. No one was injured, but the engine was demolished and a car or two of wheat spilled. Dynamite exploded in a barn at Edna. It was kept there for use in blasting a well. It is believed that rats gnawed it. The barn was completely demolished. The mayor of Parsons has at last turned over that $19,000 received for bonds, to the Katy company. The railroad buildings which were concerned in the transaction are to be completed within six months. Tom Leftwich, of Larned, is charged with sending the associated press a wild story about lightning striking the coffin in which a child was being taken for burial, tearing off the top of the coffin and bringing the child to life. Work is going on for the erection of the addition to the Ottawa university. John D. Rockefeller and the citizens of Ottawa and the Baptists of Kansas together contributed $60,000 for this work. The new building is to be of stone, 68 by 100 feet and modern in every way. A general conference of insurance agents of Kansas held a two days' session at McPherson. Thieves in the southern part of Saline county kill cattle in pastures and haul them away in wagons. When the picnic dinner of the old settlers' reunion at Halstead was over and E. W. Hoch was introduced as the principal speaker, there were 8,000 people in the park. Mr. Hoch's address was noted by his cheerful turning of the bright side of everything to the front. It is stated that every sheriff of Morris county who has served during the past 40 years is still alive. G. N. Tucker raised 1,214 bushels of wheat on 31 acres of his Dickinson county farm. In the southeastern counties the most of the wheat will be sown this year in August and will begin to provide pasture, in September and keep doing the same until January. Nearly every farm has a field of kafir corn, of sorghum and of millet; all of them good crops. O. V. Gringrass, of Harvey county, discharged a farm hand. Later there were five of his fine steers missing. It was found that the farm hand had sold them in Newton and immediately taken the fast mail train east. In 1818 there was practically no rain from June 13 until September 10. Wheat and apple crops failed. Corn was worth $1.00 a bushel and no one bought any because they could not. Yet Kansas had ten years of good crops following that year and got rich by reason of them. WOOD ASKS FOR SOLDIERS WOOD ASKS FOR SOLDIERS Land Sharks Setting Snares For The Homesteaders. EASY TO FORFEIT CLAIMS. Fort Sill, Ok., Aug. 14.—J. R. Wood has appealed to ex-Governor Richards to have government troops put the trespassers off his alleged homestead. Telegraphic correspondence has passed between ex-Governor Richards and Major H. L. Scott, commanding officer at Fort Sill, but no official order has yet been given. Squatters are now camped on nearly every lot in the Wood homestead. 22 will require government troops to remove them. The squatters claim to have caught Wood napping. They allege, he walked along McCoy avenue and notified some of the squatters that they would not be molested. Later, so the squatters allege, he gave receipts for rents paid him. The land office lawyers contend that if he did this he recognized the fact that the land was not t) be used for homestead purposes, but for townsite purposes. When Wood distributed his notices, demanding that all trespassers remove within ten days the squatters laughed at him. They have sunk wells on his homestead and contracted for the erection of frame buildings. Wood professes to be unconcerned. His lawyers declare that if his homestead rights are denied every other homestead entry is worthless and chaos will prevail. Land sharks hang around the land office from morning to night and their strikers are trying to manufacture grounds for contests. The favorite method is to approach some one who has drawn a number and offer to lease the homestead as soon as he has filed and improve it without cost. If the person who has a number entitling him to make a homestead entry agrees to the proposition it is prima facie evidence of his intention to defraud the government and he would lose his claim under a contest. Smuggling Chinese And Opium Santa Barbara, Cal., Aug. 15.—Discoveries have just been made which are believed to establish conclusively that wholesale smuggling of Chinese from British Columbia into the United States through Santa Barbara has been carried on. The revenue officials were notified several weeks ago and for three weeks the revenue cutter McCulloch has been cruising in the waters of Santa Barbara channel in search of evidence. It appears that lumber vessels pick up Chinamen at points enroute and come in with twice as large crews as they need. When going back their crews are all white sailors. Evidence shows that opium is also being smuggled. To Banish Burghers London, Aug. 12.—Lord Kitchener has issued a proclamation of banishment. It says: "All commandants, field cornetts and leaders of armed bands, being burghers of the late republics and still engaged in resisting his majesty's forces whether in the Orange Colony, the Transvaal or other portion of his majesty's South African dominions and all members of the late governments of the two former republics shall unless they surrender before September 15, be banished." Japanese Indignant. Honolulu via San Franciisco, Aug. 15. A large mass meeting of Japanese residents of Honolulu was held to protest against the action of Dr. L. E. Cofer, United States quarantine officer at this port, in subjecting S. Okabe, Japanese vice-consul and his wife, to a physical examination, when they arrived on July 25. The meeting ended in the adoption of very severe resolutions, copies of which will be sent to the Japanese minister at Washington and to President McKinley and to other officials at Washington. Japs Make Demands Berlin, Aug. 15.—The Cologne Gazette's St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs that Japan persists in her demands for the concession of 80,000 square metres upon the island of Mak-Gan-Pho, adjoining the Russian concession. The Corean government, stiffened by Russia, the correspondent says, has thus far declined to accede to the demand; but it is expected that it will ultimately yield to Japanese pressure. Packing Houses in Texas Chicago, Ill., Aug. 15.—The packing firms of Armour & Co., and Swift & Co. have became joint owners of the stock yards at Fort Worth, Texas, and will soon expend $17,000,000 in building branch houses at that place. Cigar Makers Starved. Tampa, Fla., Aug. 14.—The Resistencia Cigarmakers' union, now on strike here, shows evidence of almost total collapse. Two of its soup houses were closed because it could not buy food. One was on half rations. Delegates made overtures to the International union, it is said, but the latter union declined to consider them. After the deportations, two thousand strikers registered their desire to leave the city and an agent was sent to Havana to secure a vessel. LAND FOR HOMESEEKERS Piccary Of It in Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas. Kansas City, Aug. 15. —The Journal quotes Major Bungardt, a government official, as saying: "Missouri is the only state in the union which sells homesteads outright. There are 325,000 acres of land in this state subject to entry. The Dodge City, Kansas, land office reports to me that it has 800,000 acres of land open to settlement. Arkansas offices report about 1,000,000 acres of land, some of it, so I have learned, as rich as any land in the United States. The Kingfisher, O. T., land office, under date of August 8, notifies me it has 500,000 acres of land for homesteaders. Eastern Kansas is devoid of available sites, all having been pre-empted. I believe Missouri offers the most advantageous opportunity of any state in the union. A man may take up 160 acres by settling on it or 320 acres if he cares to pay cash. He gets, title the day he pays the $1.25 per acre. We do not ask a man to wait five years as all other states do." Fighting Goin On. Washington, Aug. 15.—The state department has received mail advices from three different quarters in Columbia all showing revolutionary movements in progress and a rather serious condition of affairs. Both termini of the Panama railway route were heard from, Consul General Gudger writing from Panama as to a revolutionary attack on nearby towns, and Consul Malmros at Colon, reporting that guerrilla fighting had been going on between Colon and Panama. Lawton Sales Again. Lawton, Okla., Aug. Aug. 15.—Big prices are being paid for lots at last. George Hudson, of Winfield, Kas., had to bid $3,545 to get a corner that he wanted for a jewelry store and inside lots in the same block sold for $1,200 to $1,700. The best corners are yet to be sold and it will be no surprise now if $5,000 is bid for one of them. That will be $200 a front foot for raw prairie. The proceeds of the sale will probably reach $250,000, which is far in excess of all estimates before the sale. Strike a Draw at Kansas Cty. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 14.—The machinists' strike inaugurated thirteen weeks ago, has been declared off by the strikers and the men still out will return to work as soon as their employers will take them back. Four hundred men struck for nine hours' work and ten hours' pay. Half of this number were given the increase, but the larger shops held out and the strikers who return to work now will go back at the old scale. Long While to Cool off. Wellington, Aug. 15.—The fires in the gumbo kiln for baking ballast will be allowed to cool this week and the gumbo gang will go to Arkansas to start another kiln. The gumbo will not cool sufficiently to handle until about the middle of October when work trains will be sent here to take the ballast away. Much of it will be used in ballasting the Rock Island track south of Caldwell. The kiln contains about 500,000 yards of ballast. Brisk at Anadarko Anadarko, Ok., Aug. 15.—The biding on lots continues brisk and prices are good. The churches attempted to buy sites around the court house block, but the prices went beyond their reach. Outside of a few minor offenses everything continues peaceful and quiet here. There has been no liquor sold here thus far. The crowd continues large and the interest shown indicate that the desirable residence lots will bring good prices. Strikers Must Cease Violence. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 13.—The chamber of commerce has sent a communication to Mayor Phelan calling on him to take decisive action to remedy the condition of affairs in this city, caused by the strike. The mayor is asked to issue a proclamation decreeing that acts of violence and intimidation must cease, and making it clear that the city is responsible for all damage caused by riotous disturbances. Ohio Steel Workers Loyal. Youngstown, O., Aug. 10.—The officials of the Ohio plant of the National Steel company state that their employees have informed them that they will pay no attention to the strike order of President Shaffer of the Amalgamated association. They are satisfied with both wages and hours of labor. The plant, which is non-union, employs 3,000 men. The aunt may be industrious—but that is more than can be said of some uncles. To Test Eight Hour Law. Wichita, Kas., Aug. 14.—Mr. Sanderson, of Iowa, who has a contract for the erection of the Ingalls school, will test the state law providing that men employed on public work shall not work more than eight hours a day, to learn whether it applies to contract work. Mr. Sanderson said: "We have investigated the statute and will test it. The men will work at least ten hours a day. We will take no unfair advantage of them but will pay them by the hour. The men are willing to work overtime." KANSAS' TRUE CONDITION. John R. Mulvane Replies to The Financial Journal. WHICH ASKS ABOUT KANSAS. Topeka, Aug. 14.—John R. Mulvane, president of the Bank of Topeka, received a letter from the editor of the Financial Journal requesting reliable information as to the extent of the drouth in Kansas. His replies to the Journal's questions are in substance as follows. The business of the state will not be seriously affected by the drouth. The 75 per cent loss on corn crop of 1901 will be offset by $ 2 \frac{1}{4} $ times the price on the old corn on hand, which, with the new crop, will certainly make eighty million bushels at $ 2 \frac{1}{4} $ times the price—to which add 10 per cent, per bushel increased value of ninety million bushels of wheat. Then can be added 50 per cent of the 1 cent per pound increase on fat cattle, the other 50 per cent of the 1 per cent per pound will more than cover the loss on stock cattle to which add 50 per cent of the $ 1 \frac{1}{4} $ cents per pound increase in the price of fat hogs. The other 50 per cent of the increase will far more than cover any loss incident to the replacement of stock hogs. The substantial prosperity of the state of Kansas will not be checked. The immense wheat crop with good prices and the wide spread distribution of its proceeds will reach more pockets than any other crop we raise. The curtailment of credits may equal about 20 per cent, chiefly in cattle-feeding paper, and from a wide-spread spirit of economy but not of necessity. Remarks—By way of offsets, the alfalfa, kaif corn and sorghum are all drought-resisters and will make rich orage. The acreage of these crops in Kansas has increased 1,000 per cent in seven years. The dairy interests of the state have doubled each year for the last ten years. This industry is looked upon with the same favor as our best agricultural industries. The banks of the state of Kansas at the last report in July showed about seventy millions on deposit. Being an agricultural state the good bulk of the money belongs to the farmers. With more cattle and hogs in the state; more bushels of wheat than at any previous year; less debt; with our farms better improved; our pianos and rubber-tired buggies bought and paid for, we anticipate only a hesitancy in the general business of the state. For Greater Coolmibia. Washington, Aug. 15.—The navy department received word of the departure of the Iowa from Pudget Sound to San Francisco, whence she will go to Panama if her services are required there. The attention of officials here has been attracted to the manifesto issued by General Uribe-Uribe, leader of the Colombian revolutionists, declaring for a greater Colombia, and although nothing of an official nature has been received on the subject yet, it appears to bear out the ideas held for some time as to the scope of the present trouble. According to the manifesto, Uribe-Uribe is seeking to unite the interests of Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. There is an entire lack of official information here concerning the progress of affairs in either Venezuela or Colombia. Whether the Colombian minister actually has left Venezuela, as reported in a press dispatch from Willenstad, is not known here. The departure of the minister would be in line with what was foreshadowed when the American charge d'affaires, Mr. Russell, in Venezuela, asked for authority to represent Colombia in case the minister withdrew. Reunion at Salt Lake Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 15.—Several hundred former volunteer soldiers, representing the volunteer regiments that took part in the campaign in the Philippines were greeted at Assembly hall by General Irving Hale, of Colorado, first vice president of the Society of the Philippines, in the second annual reunion of that order.

Buffalo, N. Y., July 30—A joint meeting of railway passenger agents, hotel and newspaper men was held this afternoon with the view of adopting some means for correcting so far as possible the impression that appears to prevail at distant points that railway rates to the Pan-American Exposition are high and that hotel rates in Buffalo are excessive. The conference revealed the fact that Buffalo can accommodate two hundred thousand visitors in its private houses and hotels at rates ranging from fifty cents to two dollars per night, and that no one reed pay more than one dollar for a first-class lodging in a private house. It was also shown that the railroad rate is lower than for any former exposition for a five, ten or fifteen day ticket, according to distance, being at the rate of one fare plus one dollar for the round trip, from all parts of the country. The Niagara Falls cheap, one-day special excursions of former years, when trains were overcrowded and everyone subjected to great discomfort, are remembered only so far, as the low rate is concerned, and this is quoted as showing what might be done. The passenger agents assert that the present half rates are as low as can reasonably be expected. An extension of the present limit has been looked for, as it gives too short a time for anyone to see the big exposition, but it has not yet been modified. Other points which the representatives of the publishers' association will lay upon are that the Exposition is completed in all details and that both Buffalo and the Exposition are well policed and as free from dangerous characters as any city in the country. A joint committee was appointed to deal with questions affecting the Exposition and the proper welcome and care of guests. The Exposition has had in operation for some time a free bureau of information for the convenience of intending visitors.
