FAVORABLE REPORT ADOPTED
BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
Matter Will Now Go Before the
Stockholders For Final Decision
Large Sum Will Be Needed.
If these who are interested in the
reopening of the exposition will sub
scribe a fund of $200,000 for the pur
pose, it is beiiveed that the project can
be carried out, and that the exposition
can be made a success next year.”
That is the substance of the report
that was made to the board of direc
tors of the Jamestown exposition on
Thursday afternoon by the committee
of three that was recently appointed
to consider the advisability of contin
uing the fair through next year. The
report was accepted and adopted.
Tha committee recommended that
the directors publicly announce that,
in their opinion, it is both desirable
and practical to reopen the exposition
another year; that, from the expres
sions of approval from many interests
concerned the attendance would be
larger next year, and that by an eco
nomical administration of the expo
sition it could be made to pay; that
a statement showing the plan and
scope of reopening should be carefully
prepared and sent to the stockholders
of the company, and also to the repre
sentatives of all the various interests
asking their co-operation and urging
a subscription of a fund of $200,000.
The directors will carry out the sug
gestions made l>y the committee and
Director General Martin will appoint
a committee to tot low the plan out
lined.
The stockholders may he induced to
vote to, reopen It, because they pro
bably could lose nothing and may gain
something by it. But even then to
make the reopening a success it would
be necessary to have the national gov
ernment again participate in it, as
well as the states, and that is at least
i doubtful proposition, and the state
;xposition commissioners have alreadv
voted against it.

GEORGE
GUESSED
The girl who had come to visit
wandered to the piano after dinner,
struck a few desultory notes, then ad
journed to the mirror over the mantel
and gave her hair some extra touches.
‘‘Do you suppose, Mabel,” asked her
hostess, ‘‘that George Moran will call
to-night, seeing that you got here only
to-day?”
‘‘My gracious!” said the girl who
was visiting, a trifle sharply, “I’m sure
I don't expect him to call at all. Real
ly, how did you ever happen to speak
of him? You have such odd notions,
Sadie.”
“Well, I never!” cried Sadie in
amazement. “After the way he hung
around when you were here six
months ago! I thought you and he
had kept up a correspondence and 1
supposed that of course he’d call.
Didn't you let him know you were
coming?”
“There may be girls,” said the
young woman who was visiting, “who
would feel right about announcing to
a man that they were soon to be in
his town, but I think that is downright
fishing. Why, I’d never dream of
writing to a man that way.
“1 don’t care,” she continued, wheth
er George comes to see me or not.
I’m perfectly happy with you, dear.
What time is it?”
“Eight o’clock,” said her hostess.
“Well, I supposed you expected him.
You and he havn’t quarreled, have
you?”
“Quarreled!” echoed the girl who
wa» guiug in tnc uiuiui tt&cfciii.
“1 don't see how a girl can quarrel
with a man who is nothing but a—a—
well, a casual friend. Why, I have
never devoted enough thought to
George Moran to be able to quarrel
with him. Besides, it would take him
a whole hour to get* here since he has
moved, if he had dinner at 7 he
could not start much before 8, could
he? And-”
“Well he isn’t likely to start, since
you didn't tell him you'd be here,” re
marked Sadie, a little shortly. “I’m
sure I don't see—when he’s such a
splendid fellow. Anyhow, his feelings
will be fearfully hurt, for he's so sen
sitive. He’ll think you didn't care
about seeing him.”
“I think I can endure life if I don’t
lay eyes on him,” said the girl who
was visiting, picking out a piece of
sheet music and then rejecting it. “It’s
really annoying for you to assume that
I care in the least about him just be
cause I went, around with him the
other time. Goodness! I go around
with lots of the boys at home and no
body thinks anything of it. Listen!”
The two girls stared at each other
in silence and then Mabel colored a
trifle. “I thought it was the doorbell,"
she explained, indifferently. “Some
,otief to see you, voit know. The subur
ban train runs every half hour here,
doesn’t it?”
“Yes,” said her hostess. “Well, if
you aren't to have callers let’s go up
stairs and get into kimonos and be
comfortable. I have some new books
and a box of candy-”
“Of course, if you want to very
much, dear,” said the girl who was
visiting, reluctantly. “But I feel like
playing the piano awhile. Isn’t my
hair flying loose in the back? I can’t
see in this glass.”
“Your hair looks fine,” said Sadie.
r“You must have spent at least an hour
on it. It's a shame to waste so much
effort on just me, but I appreciate the
compliment. Do play if you feel like
it”
“I don’t suppose George Moran is
very popular, is he?” carelessly in
quired the girl who was visiting as
she sat down at the piano. “He’s not
aiuuv. utc ur
“Popular!” cried Sadie. “I should
say he is! Why, he’s perfectly splen
did! Just because you don’t seem to
appreciate him-”
"Really, he never interested me es
pecially,” said the girl at the piano.
“I never think of him unless 1 see him
or hear from him. He does not appeal
to me. Doesn’t this blouse wrinkle
across the shoulders? X believe I’ll
change it.”
"What for?” asked her hostess in
amazement. "Nobody will see it now
except me and I’ve stood it remarka
bly well thus far. Why don’t you play
something?”
"I will,” said Mabel,, taking out her
side combs and readjusting them be
fore the mirror. "It is so nice to see
you again and have a chance to visit
with you, Sadie. I do hope no one
will interrupt us.”
"That's sweet of you,” said her hos
tess. “Only I can’t see why you didn’t
write George that you were coming.
I believe I’ll telephone him.”
"Mercy, no!” protested Mabel. "As
if I cared! Do you think my hair is
as becoming done this way as the way
1 used to wear it six yionths ago?
There’s the bell!”
She flew to the mirror, and as Sadie
recognized the voice of the caller in
the hall she looked with dawning sus
picion at her guest.
"That’s George Moran,” she said, in j
a stage whisper. "And you said you!
hadn’t written him that you were com
ing and didn’t care for him!”
“I don’t care!” insisted the girl who
was visiting, with wabbly dignity.
“And I didn’t tell—only maybe lie,
guessed it from something or othor
that I wrote. It’s likely-”
“Yes, I think it is,” agreed Sadie.—

a motion that five minutes be allows,

Prevalency of Kidney Disease.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge sc
often 'expressed, that I)r. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain iu the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
arid eve>rv part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain iu passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, arid to get up many
times during the night. The mild ami
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
