bustle and turmoil of a month ago,
when the hoi nreparation season

became the proud parents of as

Largest in the World.
The largest hotel the world has
ever seen is the enterprise in which
William Made Cook is interested
The new hotel in which he is
heavily interested will be located
on the site of the St. Louis Fair,
.nri hha onlv private enterprise
on the grounds except the exhibits
. TIM...
of the concessionaries on me
The hotel is under consirucwou,
and when completed will outclass
in size every othr hostelry in the
world. The fair omcials nave
granted 2 acres for the hotel and
14 of these will be occupied Dy tne
buildings. There will be 4200
rooms of sufficient capacity to ac
commodate over 7000 guests. The
frontage will be 2500 feet in length
and the entire depth will be zou
fpet. The leneth is almost half a
mile, and one can appreciate ihis
by considering that it is as long as
- .... 3
ten Portland blockp, lnciuaing
streets. '
The hotel will be called Napoleon
Bonaparte after the distinguished
ruler of France, from whom the
United States bought the section
including the .Louisana purchase.
It will not be over tnree stories iu
height, and the greater part will
be only two in order to make re
moval of the guests easy in case of
fire. The building will be fireproof
us far as practicable, and arranged
for the 6afty of the people.
On the first floor will be located ,
the office rotunda, dining-rooms
and lunch-rooms. The main'
dining room will be 175 by 200
feet in size, the rotunda will be 200
feet square and the lunchroom will '
be 120 by 48 feet. . In the dining
rooms a brigade of soldiers might
eat at one time, while the rotunda
might furnish lounging quarters
for a regiment. One of the attrac
tive features of the gigantic hotel
will be the broad piazza, extending
along the full front of the building,
from which a bird'-seye view of the
entire fair tnay be obtained.

"B L. Byer, a well known cooper of
this towu, says he believes Chamber
Iain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy saved his life last summer.
He bad been sick for a month with
what the doctors call bilious dysen

any good until he tried this remedy.
It gave him immediate relief," says B.
