The idea that outside newspaper men have of the Fair Is the one that was created nt the time of the dedication At that time no fair idea of the Exposition could be conceived. Now is the time to show the editors what is doing. "I think, also, that the management of the Fair ought to stay as far awa as Curious Place to Get a Worthwhile BOOK FREE "The Road to A miniature copy in svery package of Postum Coffee and Grape-Nuts, free.

Petersburg. Jan. 17 Minister of the Interior Plelu has completed the draft of the peasant code, or scheme for the peasant reforms ordered in the Czar's recent manifestos. It will probably be sent to the local committees throughout the Empire within a few days. Members of the nobility in each Pro ince and district will be allowed to elect repre-sentaties on these committees, but the iemst os (or elect Ii provincial assemblies.

composed of landed proprietors and representatives of tho artisans and peasants), will be appointed by the Governors. Tho committee will1 be allowed freedom to discuss the project and propose any changes therein, except on three points which "the Emperor has reserved from discussion, namely, that the peasant class must remain entirely separate, legally. from the other clashes: that the commu-nlslo remain untouched by legislation, and that the peasant lands are to remain inalienable. These points stamp the forthcoming legislation as conservative in the main, but the present choas Is so great and so much room is left for the arbitrary con duct of tho polico and tho local representatives of the Ministry of the Interior, a veil aa of the peasant courts and administrative machinery, and their commune town meetings, that the Liberals declare any modification would be In the line cf progress. The ministerial project proposes to retain tnp si stem of corporal punishment, Lut the Emperor did not include this among the matters not subject to change.

The Emperor regardi the preservation of the peasant class, the retention of the economic commune and the inalienability of peasant lands as necessary for the protection of the peasants from exploitation.

Mr. Harris, who uitil 1872 had charge of the Indian reservation and congressional land grants of the Union Pacific Railway between Kansas City and Denver, will liave charge of the land and town-site interests of the Orient road. Of his new position Mr. Harris said: "My study of transcontinental railroad routes began a great many years ago.

I ILL EYES TURN TO OGLE COUNTY, Contest Between Yates and Low-den Xarrowed Down to Small Battleground. CAMPAIGN CLOSES ON FRIDAY. Illinois Politicians Think the Decision Will Be a Gauge of Battle Throughout the Campaign. i REPUBLIC SPECIAL. Chicago, 111 Jan.

17. Interest In the con test between the Republican factions of Illinois for the coming week is centered in Ogle County, where the primaries are scheduled to come off next Saturday. Ogle Is the summer home of Colonel Frank Low den. He owns a farm of 1.M0 acres on the Rock River, four miles south of Oregon. The Lowden boom for' Governor sprung from Ogle County lait October.

Lowden's friends declare Ogle is as much the home of their candidate as Chicago, notwithstanding he votes in tho metropolis. Colonel Lowden has spent thousands of dollars on his farm, and Ogle County farmers believe him when he sajs his pleas-antest and most profitable hours are spent on his farm. Rut Governor Tates does not concede the county's delegation to Lowden. He says he has as much right to the delegation as any other man. One of his able captains at his headquarters here jesterday insisted that Lowden did not claim Ogle County as his home.

In announcing his candidacy Lowden stated he lived In Cook Count "Governor Yates is making a fight in Ogle," he continued, "principally because Lowden flooded the Governor's county of Morgan with letters asking Republicans to support him. He didn't suggest that he would appreciate support In case the Governor dropped out, but came out flat-footed and asked for the votes of Morgan County Republicans. Governor Yates does not think it neceary. under the circumstances, to extend any courtesies to Lowden in Ogle. He has a fighting chance for the county.

The Governor is not thinking of going Into Sherman's county (Mc-Donough). Hamlin's countv (Shelby), Warner's county (DeWltt) or Deneen's countv (Cook). The fact that Lowden owns a farm thre does not make him a citizen of the count BATTLE IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS. And so the first battle of the giants in the contest will take place In Northern Illinois. It Is a fierce No" quarter is asked or will be given.

It really began jesterday. when Yates flashed like comet from Egjpt to Ogle County In one night and opened his batteries against Lowden at Rochelle. At night" he spoke in Oregon. Ho received respectful attention, roused a little interest and the troop of soldiers from the pa--roIl brigade accompanying him claimed the Governor was certtln to carrj the countj- next Sat-urdaj-. T.ic Gov ernor scooted back to Chicago this morning, and to-night is In Springfield.

To-morrow night he addresses a great meeting in the opera-lioue in Springfield, which mark. the opening of the "Sangamon County campaign. He will leave the capital at midnight for live dajs' hard work in Ogle. He sajs he wilt speak in every township in the county in that time. It must not be imagined that Colonel Louden Is slothlul.

Ho Is more resourceful than the Governor. As quick In deciding where h.s own weakness lis and active In mending his fences. Unlike the Governor. Lowden makes no claims. Nor will he permit his lieutenants to do any bragging.

He rever has claimed Ogle Countj ATTACK ON NEWSPAPERS. The bitter denunciations of tho Chicago press by Governor Yates havo spent their force to a limited extent at least. Republican voters are beginning to ask if the Chicago newrpaper.3 are candidates for Governor this ear. The opinions of the editors are not; the law. neither are they gospel.

The Governor lias plajed that hand to the limit, and. Inasmuch as he chose it as his strongest argument, its value and the Governor's strength hi the State may be feaugeel with some accuracy by the rsralt in Ogle next Saturday. Not all of the Governor's ftjends Indorsed his challenge to in Ogle. Some of the shrewdest of them believed Fabian tactics the best in all the northern counties. They pointed out that Waterloo In Oslo would discourage and dls- GKISWOLD SMITH, Attorney.

TELEPHONES: Bell, Main ffi" hearten tho Yates adherents In eerr other county. Probably the strongest objection was thit of a Southern Illinois Lieutenant, who suggested that If "fair, square" primaries were conceded to Yates in Ogle, then In southern counties where "nap primaries had been the rule, Lond-n or Hamlin, or Sherman may demand the "fair and aquiie" brand, and It might not be the best policy to permit them.

But Grnor Yale oerrulel the faint-heated, declaring his confidence In a practical indorsement of himself, and his administration in every northern county. He counts on making a personal appcpl to cery Republic in Ogle County.
