fterwards , the Gamn substitute , was having
xcb a discouraging effect that for a time
1e question of an appropriation by the

anonncemont , however , on February 26 that

ibecriptlon of $30,000 by the Chlcngo &

This was considerably more than Illinois
had gisen other expositi ns held since the

A commission of twenty was organized
September 10. At first it was the intention
to make a big agricultural exhibit , but on
second consideration this was thought to be
like cariying coals to Newcastle , so it was
concluded to have a fine fruit display in
the general horticultural building , as southern -
ern Illinois is famed the world over for its
splendid fruit , and to induce the large manufacturers
facturers of agricultural implements to secure -
cure a good space in the machinery exhibits ,
and then put up a nice building , which
would serve as a comfortable club house
for the crowds of peolo coming from Illinois
to the exposition.
The commission was made up of lion ,
Clark E. Cnrr of Galesburg , a well known
political orator , who had been minister to
Denmark under President Harrison ; Lafayette
etto Funk of Shirley , who , as a member of
the State Board of Agriculture , had been in
charge of the Illinois exhibit at the World's
fair ; Ferdinand W. Peck , the originator of
the Auditorium , and who had been president

the architects of the building. It was furnished -
nished throughout by Marshall Field & Co. ,
which is Mr. Ifigunbolhan's firth ,
Members of the Illinois commission visited
Omaha and selected thin site for the building
on October 19. This early choosing of a location -
cation , it is believed , acted as a stimulus
to other states and gave a decided impetus
to the work of putting up the splendid lot

Iii nddiug to the nation's immaterial wealth
or to the roll of its great names , Illinois
desires to take second plmtce to no other
stale. In commercial greatness the last gen.
eratiet has seen it become the rival of New
York cord its a producer of statesmen nail
warriors , the period of the civil vnr amid
thereafter gave It a place but little behind
1'irgimdtu the mnthe' of presidents. The
story of its progress ( roar un uulrodden
prairie early ht the century to a commonwealth -
wealth of the first importance and time account -
count of its great amen during these years
forum nn exciting nod vital part of United
States history. Father Martpiette and Louis
Janet , with the dnring pioneers of their
time , began what Lincoln , Grant and Doug-
Ins co npleted 1md time product elands commensurate -
mensurate witim the greatness of the stalwart -
wart workmen. Since time days when Illinois
was another tmanme for time great west and its
boundaries reached from Montreal to New
Orleans , its territory bus somewhat shrunk ,
but its develop umeut hills beer on a scale that
line placed it first in vnhie of agricultural
products , third hr population and in the
first rank politically and conuuorcratly.
Time history- a conuaonwenlth is largely
the biography of its great mien and Illinois
is able to point to a long roll of illustrious
names. Tine name winch has brought most
credit to the state as time peculiar product
of its own virility of mind and character Is
that of Lincoln ,
itevere the Nmune of Idueoln.
Although Illinois was not the suite of
Lhmcoha's nativity or clmildlmood , his blrth-
phmce having peen Ilardin county , Kentuclty ,
it svuts time scene of Ills early umanlmood , of
the character-forming period of his life
whmlclm brought out in him time qualities of a
patriot mid a statesman , The Lincolns removed -
moved from Kentuclty to Spencer county ,
Indiana , in 1817 , in the son's eighth year.
Lincoln grew up in a wooded and wild region -
gion and wlmen he comae of age he could done
no amore than read , write and cipher to the
rule of three. At 21 he began his residence
in New Salem , Ill „ order hotter conditions.
Then came time Black hawk war and he was
elected a captain of volunteers , a success
which gave ldm more pleasure than any of
time greater ones which followed , Ills prog-
rese thereafter was rapid and after serving
three biennial terms in time legislature he
was elected to the lower house of congress
in 1846 , His discussions with Douglas and
ltis conspicuous qualities brought him into
euch prominence that the republican party
in 1860 found in him the end of their search
for a candidate And he became time sixteenth
president of the United States ,
The life of Abraham Lincoln became
thenceforth merged in the history of tuts
country and the remainder of his career as
the first man of the nation nay not be
chrouieled in a story of Illinois. The crowning -
ing act of Lincoln's political life and by
which he will be rememberedelhroigh future
tinma was his issuance of time emanclimation
proclamation , September 22 , 1862. Ills assassination -
sassination occurred April 14 , 1865 , and his
body lies in Illinois soil , in Oak Ridge cene-
tory , near Springfield.
Llucolu and Douglas fnrnislmed powerful
reasoning faculties for the judgment of an
important dispute , but a military leader was
found necessary to carry them into execution -
tion , and another Illinois sot was accordingly
commissioned. Grant , as a warrior , brought
equal credit to his native state with its other
prenminent sons and finally received thL supreme -
preme gift of time American people. ( rant ,
like Lincoln , was not born in the state , lds
birthplace leaving been Point Pleatunt , 0. ,
but in hits development and preparatiom for
leis work he is likewise accredited to Illi-
nois. Grant's boyhood was not a noteworthy
one and at West Point he arrived at no distinction -
tinction except in his masterly power over
horses. After graduation there he was eta-
I Honed at St. Louis , Mo. , and at the outbreak
Iof the Mexican war he was sent to the front
as lieutenant. After Grant's marriage in
1848 ha passed through a period of apparently -
ently unending discouragements and re
verses , and In 1860 moved to Galena , III „
where he obtained a small clerkship.
Other Ilri amt Lights ,
The opening of the clvll war furnished
Grant's opportunity and lee rose to be brigadier -
adier general la July , 1861 , and later was
made commander of the Department of Tean-
essee , lie captured Vicksburg July 4 , 1863,1
appointed him lieutenant general and conferred -
ferred upon him the powers of general-in-
duet of all armies in time field. He was
elected president in November , 1868 , receiving -
ceiving a total of 214 out of 2G4 electoral
votes. Grant , however , had been trained
as a soldier , mint as a statesnuum , nail for his
success as a general lie was loved and esteemed -
teemed by his country and for such he was
honored by time uatinps through which lie
passed on iris tour argued the world.
