Ihe structures on Midway Heights, at the Motion States and International Exposition, UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BUILDING. are taking shape very rapiuiy. ine en closure and structures for Cairo Street are approaching completion. The same is true of the German Village, the Chinese Village lite Mystic Maze, and the Palace of Illusion. The steel structural work for the great Phoenix Wheel is en route bctweeu Pittsburg and Atlanta, and the foundation is to be ready by ihe time the material arrives. The work is all completed, and the erection will occupy but a few weeks. The Mexican Village is about done, though it h;is been decided that the bull fight will not t;ike place. Mr. Kee Owyang, concessionaire for the hineso Village, is now on his way from China to America with material for his show, lie is bringing a bevy of Chinese ladies for a b vilify show. Select plays will be presented in Ihe Chinese theatre, in the true oriental fashion.

The five and six-in-'h guns have arrived and are being put in place. The cutter which arrived from Norfolk Navy Yard sometime ago, is attract ing much attention, and its passage has oc casioned much amusement atnong the at taches of the exhibit. The boat was sent to it destination in charge of a quart erman, Johnny MacDonald, and the care with which he looks after it is convincing of the fact that no harm will come to this part of Uncle Sam's possessions. The European exhibits cover quite a broad r up'c of important articles.

Principals of a -admies, seminaries and college's, comjdai'i that their s-.-hi3ols will be demoralized by the E.vri-si-tlon this fall, and to meet the case, an or ganized effort wid lie made to get all suca institutions to giveone week's vaeation, au I , bring their schools in a. body to the Exposi tion, so that afterward the pupils can go oa with their work without interruption. A numlier of schools have already decided, on their own accord, to do this. If it can Ik? done upon a large seale, quarters may l secured at a very moderate cost. This will be done in case of the boys, by providing tents. For the girls, better accommodations will Ire secured, either in t-oar ling house-ior in hotels seeially constructed for the pur pose.

OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVKNTON KNDOKSES SOUND MONEY. A Strong Position Taken on the Mon roe Doctrine. 'Campbell Nom inated for'Jo"vernor. In spite of Janes E. Campbell's earnest and repeated protest that his friends must not nominate him as the Democratic candi date for Governor of Ohio, &3 he could net make the race for various reasons, the ex Governor was put at the head of the ticket by acclamation against his will on Wednes day by the 800 delegates to the Ohio State convention at Springfield. The nomination was forced upon the Butler county man while he was in the midst of a speech and in the act of presenting the name of Judge Peek, of Cinclnnatti, for the same honor. Then came a graceful acceptance and the rest of the ticket was made up on the accla mation order. Senator Brice won his point of having only a reaffirmation of the na tional currency plank inserted in the plat form, on this "sound money" winning by the sound majority of 255 when the free sil ver amendment to the platform was put to the convention. 44.ME3 E. CAMPBELU After the usual preliminary business was disposed of. Frank Ilurd, the free trade apostle of Toledo", pie.-entcd the majority report of toe committee on resolutions. It reads: The Democratic party of Ohio in conven tion assembled poiuts with satisfaction and pride to the wisdom of the action of that party in the last two years and the results accomplished according to its promises, to wit: 'Ine repeal of the Republican legisla tioa known as the Sherman law, the un American Federal election law and the MeKinlev law. from which repeals has re- jMi"an extent that even the Republicans are obliged to recognize the same. We congratulate President Cleveland that his efforts in favor of the repeal of these vicious laws and the upholding of the credit of the country have been successful. We congratulate our Senator. Hon. Calvin S. Brice, for tlw earnest and effective, support he has given to the President. ' When we consider the facts that the Demo cratic party received from the Republicans in IM2 a bankrupt Treasury, that it; inherit ed from the vicious currency and tariff laws which had prepared and llnally produced the panic of 18!M, wo insist that it is entitled to the thanks of the people for the courage with which it has attacked and repealed these laws: Wo re-aftirm the following portion of the seventh plank of the last National Demo cratic Convention: .... , , , "We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage; but the dollar unit of ...iuage of both metals must be of equal in trinsic and exchangeable value, or le adjust ed bv international agreement or by such safe f.-islation as shall ins ire the mainten ance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in tho payment of debts; and we demand that the paper currency shall bo kept at par with aud redeemable in sudi coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farming and laboring classes the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and fluctuation currency The remainder of the platform relates to c...tu ..fT-or entirely.

Satur day August 17th, 1895, are generally favorable. The week opened and ended very warm, with maximum tern poratures above 90. degrees; the 15th and 16th were below the normal. The amount of sunshine was slightly lesa than usual. The drought prevailing at tho beginning of the week in Cen tral and Western Districts wai broken by the general rains on the 6th and 17th, which practically aasured asplen did corn crop. Too much rain oo- curred at a few stations. The next week will be dryer and cooler. ! ! Eastern District. The weather this week has been generally faror able, except in the south-east portion. The week opened and ended very warm, with but two days, the 15th ajod 16th, below the normal in temperature. General rains j prevailed on the 17th. In the southern part I of the district, where there has been no drought, the rain-fall this week has beeu rather in jurious, but in! all other portions it has broken the drought prevailing and been highly beneficial to all crops ex cept tobacco. ! Special reports as to corn indicate that as a whole tho crop in this district is not f as good o in others, and is generally bejlow the average; but as the acreage is larger than usual a big crop will be gathered. Early corn is now safe, and jthe late geueral Tains will do much toward 'making late corn, which, however, will not be safb before from September 1st tolSth. Fodder-pnllingiB now in progress. ; Cotton is still growing and blooming; has improved, but fruit fctill scarce. There has been tx much roin for tobacco. Centraii District. A fine, gentle and very beneficial general rain oc curred the latter part of tho week. A few reports indicate too much rain for cot ton and 'lowland crops in the central and south portions of tho dietrict. Some damage was done to core by high winds on the 13th, but only over very limited areas. The week has been gen erally most favorable. Special reports as to corn indicate a most flattering . outlook-in this district; very fewunfa vorable reports received. Tho condi tion is fine and acrengo alovo average. Late rains assure the ; making of most of the crop. Early plautedaul upland corn is safe now, but tho greater por tion will not be out of danger from n ufavorable weather conditions before win K.-e a lnro-e nor t ion" of "the" fodder pulled. Tobacco doinj cures cointron generally with fair I success. Some damage to tobacco by nea-imgs is reported. Cotton is getting a little grassy and some rust is reported; this crop cannot yield more than half an average, ltaius enabled farmers to plo fallow lands. . Wertekn DisTmcT. Hainn, which occurred on two or three days of the week, were very beneficial. . Corn had suffered in many places for want of rain, but the showers of tins week greatly revived it. The pres ent con dition of corn is excellent; there will bo a fine crop, Some of 1 10 early planted corn it safe now, but gener ally the crop is not considered safe in this district before about Sfptember 10th to 20th, while in many places along streams liable to overflow it is not safe until gathered, in Dctober. Tho ruins wero just what wa i needed to put lands in condition to break for wheat; this work is now begun. To bacco is generally good; tobacco farm ers are busy with topping ftu1 drying.
