I f.KOALIA 'KVCNINQ DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, IMS. A COST OF $75,000 The Live Stock Building At the Fair Grounds. COMPLETED EARLY IN 1906 Small Expenditure Would Convert It Into a Truly Model Hall For Big Conventiont. Few Sedalians bave any conception of tlie magnitude of the Live Stock building in process of erection at the State Fair grounds by Thomas H. Johnson, the contractor, and which is to ciost something like $75,000.

The structure is of brick, 176x238 feet, and will have a seating capacity of possibly 12,000. The building is to be used for the exhibition of live stock, and 3000 chairs will be placed around the arena, which latter will te 125x175 feet In addition, there is to be a gallery, in which at least 5000 ptrsons can be seated. Tie building, it is said, will be the largest of its kind in the state outsida of the Convention hall in Kansas City, and with a comparatively small expense it can be made the finest structure in the state for conventions, political meetings and other large gatherings. the Kansas City Convention hall alone excepted. It has been suggested to the Democrat that steps should he taken at an Monday night In November, for approval or rojectloa.

The plans provide for a structure 36x200 feet, with a seating capacity In excess of 1500. There are th- airways, one at either end and one In the cbnter, and it is for the council to say whether the stand shall be an elaborate affair or constructed on a cheap scale. In conversation with Major William Beck, yesterday, he stated to the Democrat that the city was deriving a very clever revenue from the Liberty park grounds, and could ek3ct a fine grand-stand during the winter deemed advisable, so as to have It ready for use early in the spring. The Liberty park hall is rented to Messrs. O'Donovan Ogle until April 1, next, for $65 a month, and Major Beck estimates that the city will derive $800 revenue from three other sources the ensuing year, from rentals, as follows: The Driving club, the Sedalia Rifles mid the Western association baseball management.

The estimated cost of the structure was not stated by Major Beck, hut is believed to be between $1500 and $2000. Bids for the construction will be asked for as soon as the council approves the plans and speclflcations. VALLEY OF DEATH.

The purchase price is given at $27,000. Kimberly and associates are reported to have i paid only $22,000 for the property. There are 800 acres of land in the tract, and much of it is in the original growth of timber, which will be cut off to a considerable extent by the new owner. The old mansion walls are well preserved, and they are so thick that the house will last indefinitely. The porches to the old mansion have been burned away, however, and to restore the house will akp an expenditure of over $5,000.

I have taken Dr.King's New Discovery esrly date with a view to equipping jfor Consumption, which has saved me the building for the purposes enumer ated above. Enterprising Sedalians have already raised something like $2000 for the purpose of erecting a convention hall, and the money is now on deposit in the local banks. To raise enough additional at this time to provide a suitable building down-town is almost out of the question, but the sum already raised and in bank wonl 1 go a long way In equipping the new Live Stock building so that it would every requirement of an up-to- convention hall. That a satisfactory arrangement can be made with the directors of the State Fair association is as certain as that two and two are four.

Contractor Johnson has been delayed some in the delivery of the steel work for the new building, hut it is practically all here now. and the intention is to have the structure completed early in 1906. The 3000 chairs that Contractor Johnson is to place in position around thj arena will he all that are needed by the State Fair for the purposes for which the building was originally intended, hut Sedalia should not be contented to stop at this. When the State Fair was located here the Sedalia Water and Light of which Mr. Andrews is manager, agreed to extend its line to the Fair grounds without cost and for a consideration to wire and light such buildings as might be asked by the State Fair directors, and a contract to that effect is a matter of record.

For State Fair purposes exclusively electric lights are not needed, as no night sessions are held; hut for state conventions, political meetings, the building should be well lighted. This would be by Mr. Andrews, so all the outlay that would he necessary to give Sedalia a model convention hall out of the new Live Stock building would he to provide the necessary seats, something like 8000 or 10.000 in addition to the 3000 to be provided by the directors of the Fair. Sedalia is the most eligibly located city in the sUite for the holding of state conventions, opening campaign meetings and the like, and all that is required to secure them is to provide a hall large to seat the Thai would be in attendance. The Live Stock build ng at the Stale Fair offers a solution of the prtiufcm th.at Sedalians have been laboring with for years, and the sooner steps are taken with a view to bringing about the desired result the sooner It will be consummated.

F.

Mr. Keyser called up Kingsville on the telephone and learned that the robbers blew the bank vault to pieces with nltroglyzerlne, and destroyed a number of private boxes, scattering their contents all over the building, but they failed to gain an entrance to the inner safe, hence got nothing for their dangerous work.

Death Valley is beginning to give up its dead again, says the Denver Post Every summer it lies there under the smiting sun and to men to enter and to die, and men heed Its beckoning and go and never come back again. A few straggling searchers wander listlessly out into the terrible heat and find a stricken body or two, almost always within crawling distance of the water, for want of which they died, but until the October sting is on the air even the men who live on the desert's limits will not venture too often into the place of death. They are going now, and they are finding the poor fellows who laughed at their warnings and disappeared into the sinister purple of the distance never to laugh again.

So far it is estimated that at least 50 men have died there of thirst and fear this summer. Death Valley lies stretched like a dying snake along the borders of Nevada and California. It is 50 miles long, 35 miles broad and it is called Death Valley because the first white people who ever went in there were 30 when they entered and 12 when they came out, and the 18 young, vigorous men died in a few days, hideous, haggard wrecks of what they were. Since that time the Valley of the Dreadful Thirst, as the Indians named it long ago, has counted its victims as a devotee counts his beads on a rosary of coral and pearl. Smith found a ledge rotten with glinting gold there one fearful day, years ago, and when they found him, running round and round in the desert, waving his arms, trying to in the blue water he though he saw all around him, he had his pockets full of the richest quartz ever seen in California, the land of rich quartz.

When he spoke the tongue of human speech again he tried to tell where the ledge was, but all he could remember Tvas miles of green and purple and pink mountains crowded in around till he went mad from fear and thirst and loneliness. From that day to this men have saddled burros and ridden out into the glittering desert, mad with the hunger of the gold they know is hidden there. The big strikes in the Goldfield and Bullfrog districts, out there in the alkali. and the wild gleam of shifting sands, have lured fortune hunters as moths are lured by the gleaming of a lamp. The little dried-up villages on the edges of the terrible waste have been alive with eager-eyed men fitting out to prospect, and this fall the old prospectors, who know the moods and tempers of the great land tiger that crouches on the border of human life there in the beating sunlight, are finding their white bones bleaching in the green and gleaming sand.

A judge from Wisconsin disappeared into the phantom-haunted place a few weeks ago. he back in five he told his friends, who watched him go; bring you some quartz from the Peg He did not come back, and his friends fitted out an expedition and started to look for him. They have never been heard from. The cold October nights have come even to the desert now, and the shadows of the early nightfall lie on the burning sands like a cool hand bn a fevered skin, and the searching parties are starting out to look for the bones of the men who have died in the terrible desert since summer has smitten It. At least a thousand men have died there of heat and thirst and terror since it was named Death Valley.

Yet never a summer comes without its waiting victims eager to try the fearful fight for life for the sake of a little gold to shake in the face of an indifferent world. Dangerously III.

R. Wingate, the Sirdar, will soon be shocking the spinx and disturbing the ashes of the Pharaohs by running motor cars across the Egyptian desert, says a London letter. After much experimenting in an effort to find a suitable tire for the loose sands of the desert he is at last successful. The wheels are unusually large, and are entirely inclosed wdth light metal plates. The tires are broad and hollowed out in the middle, which, it is expected, will prevent them from sinking in the sand.

The car draws a light wagon equipped a searchlight apparatus. The experiments have proved satisfactory, and the sirdar will take the car him on return to Egypt. the mind, not the optic nerve, that really sees.

A certain unmarried woman was ill and was thought lo be about to die. Her friends, fearing for the fate of an unmarried woman in the hereafter, went hurriedly to a man of their acquaintance, a bachelor, requesting him to be sealed to her immediately. He consented, being willing to have her for his wife in the life to come.

But 1 the unexpected happened, and the young woman was restored to health. The man to whom she had been sealed continued to live as he had done, and she lived at her home as a single woman. Some time after, the young woman married a man of her faith, and lives with him and her children Uve Auctleiieer Seilallap Mo- 103 Katie Ml Phone: Office, 240; Reel dence 420.

Few people realize what a tremendous success and happiness is possible hrough the medium of the eye. The whole secret of a richly mind is alertness, sharp, keen attention, and thoughtfulness. Indifference, apathy, mental lassitude and laziness are fatal to all effective observation. The telegraph, the sewing machine, the telephone, the telescope, the miracles of electricity. In fact, every great invention of the past or present, every triumph of modem labor-saving machinery, every discovery in science and art, is due to the trained power of seeing things.

Careless, indifferent observation does not go back of the eye. If the mind is not focussed, the image is not clean-cut, and it not carried with force and distinctness enough to the brain to enable it to get at the truth and draw accurate conclusions. The majority of people do not see things; they Just look at them. The power of keen observation Is Indicative of a superior mentality; for It Is Notice.
