DOWN AT THE LAKE SHORE AT THE ALASKA-YUKON-PACIFIC
EXPOSITION.
The (racks of the Northern I'aciilc railroad, which run through the grounds
of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition, offered rather a problem to the
engineers who had the laying out of the grounds They finally overcame It
by tneans of viaducts, and subways, and the rustle brldire seen In the picture Is
one of the happy results It leads from the heart of the grounds, near the
pumping station, across the tracks to the banks of Lake Washington, which
offer free the finest picnic grounds In the state Here thousands of persons
during the fair season will discuss their luncheons, parties of the sort being
encouraged by the exposition management.

EXPOSITION

Ha Was Guilty.
The great Irish agitator. Daniel
O'CouneH. was at one time defending
a man net-used of murder at Clonmel.
The circumstantial evidence was so
strong against the prisoner that the
Jury had already determined upon
their verdict of guilty, when the man
supposed to have been murdered was
brought Into court, alive and unhurt.
The Jury were desired to return their
verdict at once, aud they did so. but It
was one of guilty.
"What!" exclaimed the astonished
Judge. "What does this mean? If
the man has not heen murdered how
can the prisoner be guilty?"
Tlease, your honor," said the fore
man, "he's guilty. -He stole my bay
mare three years ago." Omaha World-Ueraid
