Mr. Clark was born in Jackson county, Ohio, September 11, 1828, and died at Stockton, Kansas, May 18, 1904, aged 75 years, 8 months, 7 days. He was married November 29, 1849, to Miss Temperance Swepston. His wife and seven children, five boys and two girls, survive him. They came to Kansas in 1873, locating first in Cloud county, and moved to Rooks county in 1887.

The funeral was held at the Bigge school house Thursday at 10 o'clock a. Judge Moore conducting the services, and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery southwest of the same school house. As a man John Clark has always been known as one who did the best his circumstances would allow. No man could do more. He will be greatly missed by his many old-time friends in this county.

The family have the sympathy of the community in thus losing a beloved husband and parent. -MRS. DRYDEN Mrs. Christina Macdonald Dryden was born in Forfarshire, Scotland in 1840; died at her home in Lanark township May 17, 1904. She was married in 1861 to Peter Kennard Dryden, to' which union were born nine children, six of whom survive--Joseph, John, Alex, James, Maggie and Mary.

All the children are married except the latter named girl, and all reside in Lanark township, except James, who is one of Stockton's most popular merchants. Mr. and Mrs. Dryden came to the United States In 1881, locating at Staten Island, New York, afterward moving to Jersey City. They came to Kansas in 1882 and located on the farm in Lanark township.

Her husband, Peter Dryden, died in 1887. The funeral serices were held in the Fairview sehoolhouse, Rev. R. D. Thrasher officiating, and the body was laid to rest beside that of her husband in the West Hope cemetery.

The family has the sympathy of all who were acI quainted with the deceased.

We are comfortably housed at the mammoth Innside Inn, Room 4822, and are ready to enjoy the splendors of the greatest show on earth. Mrs. Chambers and I took the Kansas editorial train so generously provided by the Frisco road, at Wichita, Saturday afternoon, and traversed the most beautiful part of Kan888 before the shades of night fell. At Springfield, another editorial train joined us from Kansas City. The entire Kansas party consists of about 500 editors and their wives, a very contented and cheerful lot of people and the largest delegation from any single state.

At this time about 2,000 editors are here, with delegations arriving every little while, but the great rush is expected tonight and in the morning. The Frisco road, which has accorded such magnificent hospitality to the men who have done so much towards making Kansas what she is (a modest boast this) is one of the best railways we ever traveled over and the courtesy is highly appreciated and acknowledged by all its guests. We met Ben Mickel and little son Clifford, of Soldier, Kansas, this morning and together took a walk after breakfast through the northwest portion of the grounds, passing many of the state buiidings, our steps leading us to the central court which is truly magnificent in its architectural splendor. I consider the buildings more ornate than those at Chicago in 1893 and fully equal in grandeur. Those who attended the Columbian exposition cannot refrain from making comparisons, and it is our opinion that for once the windy city by the lake is matched.

A great deal has already been written of these stupendous structures that will melt away in a fraction of the time it took to rear them, and our readers are already familiar with their loveliness through the numerous we that have appeared in these colns and in all the publications they ad, but the conceptions obtained at EDUCATION AT WORLD'S FAIR, ST. such long range are meagre by the side of the mighty reality. They are not only gorgeous in the extreme, but standing in front of their facades one is filled with awe at their hugeness. A building may be huge and awe you, but let the hand of art shape its outlines and embellish it with its choicest workmanship, and the mind is awestricken at its superb proportions. St.

Louis is fortunate in having hills on which to perch her fairy palaces. In Chicago everything was flat, but the presence of the lake added the touch of picturesqueness. But here the slight eminences bring to view vistas of surpassing beauty. Though Thare gone over but a small portion 'of the grounds. I can truthfully say that exteriorly the exposition is all, and more, than has been claimed for it.

It is indeed a marvelous creation. and I would advise all who can to come and see it, for nothing finer has ever been gazed upon by mortal eye. Coming down to mundane matters, they make you pay for everything in advance in these parts. They can't take chances it would seem, with the crowd that is here now. There is still a good deal of work to be done in road making and landscape gardening, but they are doing their to get ready, as evidence of which are to be seen armies of men working in all parts of the grounds, even though this is supposed to be a day of rest.

There will be no rest for St. Louis while this big show is in progress. The state buildings, most of which are completed and have their doors open invitingly, are unique and some very impressive. We went into only one, Kentucky, and the surroundings were quite to our liking. Elegance and good taste were apparent in every part.

Kansas has a good building, but it is out-classed of course by Missouri and New York. I will write more of it tomorrow, when a reception will be tendered the editors by Gov. Bailey and other officials. Several state receptions will ocenrevery day next week. I will add to my obser.

vations after I take a look at the inside of this exposition. The outside is all right. PALACE OF LIBERAL ARTS, WITH UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BUILDING AT END OF LAGOON AT WORLD'S FAIR, ST. LOUIS. STOCKTON MEN'S GAS WELL.

Red Fork (I. The light from the new gas well illuminated Red Fork with a lurid gleam Wednesday night. The fact that the well of Graham, Stewart south of the railroad, has latterly proven to be a fine gas well, as good as the best in the territory, may be taken as important, leading as it will likely to other important developments for Red Fork which will be disclosed later. A test of the well of Graham, Co. is most satisfactory, and while the flow of oil from this well was sufficient to show that it would be a good oil producer, the company will at present hold it as a gas well rather than undertake the work of separating the product.

A proposition is already made to contract for the gas for use at the brick plant, and Felt Work Hats 35c this 5 doz black pant-cut Here they are 20 doz 50c 25 doz Shirts, the best 5 doz boys double knee week at the Wizard's.
