The horse interests of Audrain
county, as we'll as all other interests,
demand that Mexico should have a
fair this fall. Many other fairs
throughout the state have been
abandoned and the future of the
Mexico association depends largely
upon having a fair this fall. a sue
cessful fair this year would insure
the permanent success of the Mexico
association. There should be IA big
fair in this portion of Missouri every
year and Mexico is the place TO hold
it. The Worlds Fair would in nC
way interfere with Il good county fan
here and we sincerely trust that
those interested will get together and
lease the grounds and make ar
t engagements to have a tirst-clas:
county fair in Mexico some time il
: September.

THERE is no valid reason why the
Worlds Fair should he open on
Sunday and every reason why 1t
should not be. The American peo-
pie are a misunderstanding people
and the machinery of the FAN
should be stopped and closed to al
on the Sabbath day. Looking at
the matter, not from q religious
standpoint, the money appropriated
by Congress for the Worlds FAN
was given with the distinct under
standing, and so stated, that the
Fair should be closed on Sunday.

You pay 80 cents to get into the

Wrongfully Charged.
To The ExpositOr:

To The ENpostor:
1t may seem to some that enough has
already been said about the now cele-
brated louse case, and were ii not for
the fact that my wife Is wrongfully
charged with circulating the report
| broadcast through the country, there
would have been no occasion for this
article, but being SO, in justice to our
selves, wish to give 1t public denial,
and in connection state the facts as
they occurred and then the public can
Judge OH whose shoulders the blame
should rest for the publicity given to
the unfortunate incident.
A Mr.. Griffith and Mr.. Smith came
to my house on the Wednesday of con-
ference week. and occupied the bed
together that night, Mr.. Griffith leay-
ing on Thursday, having occupied the
bed but once. Mr. Smith remained and
on Saturday was Joined by another
Wood. They both occupied the bed
Saturday night. On making up the
bed Sunday morning Mrs. Slight dis
covered its condition, and soon after
fired them both out, and then commu-
nicated the facts to two members of
the NJ. =. church supposing that would
be the end of it. The law suit for NAL
icious slander now pending in the Sag
inaw courts brought by Elder Griffith
against Elder Butler, reveals very
clearly that the Conference alone is
responsible for placing it on the wings
of the wind, and giving it its present
publicity and not Mrs. Slight, and in
regard to anything being said by us
fixing the charge ON Elder Griffith is
simply fake. If the Conference
chooses to assume without proof that
Griffith was the guilty one because he
did not happen to belong to their Con-
ference, that is their business and not
mlne. Yours Truly, Henry Slight.

The United Press correspondent sends from
Beirut. Syria, IN account OF the sinking OF
the British war ship Victoria by the war salp
Camperdown off Tripoli.
Admiral Tyron. he says. visited Beirut with
the squadron Of sixteen vessels, and he and
bis officers we're entertained by the Anglo
American residents.
At 10 o'clock on the day OF the tragedy the
fleet sailed away to the manauvres off Tri-
poll. The weather was sunny. The sea was
as smooth as mirror. The vessels had been
drawn up in double line. Abreast they were
about six cable lengths apart. The DOW OF
each vessel WAS two cable lengths from the
stern OF the vessel ahead.
At about 8 o'clock the fleet was thus ap-

the order was given the Victoria and Camp

toia was slightly ahead rs they approached.
The Camperdown pushed heavily upon her
and ram;ned her on the starSoari side near
the bow. she tore with tremendous force
into the Victoria's hull and drove the ram
with crash right through the Fictoria's
middle.
It was iuse $50 O'CLOCK when, with the
great rip in her hull, the Victoria began 20
founder. Admiral Tryon tried at first to run
her ashore. but the distance, nearly five
miles, was too great.
The great vessel turned over Droaus;de,
and eight minutes after she was struck went
down. Rigid discipline was maintained in
the few minutes between the collision and
the catastrophe. The invalids and prisoners
were brought on deck. and provision was
made hastily 70. their safety in case OF tne
worst. The crew remained at their DOSES.

apparently realized that his vessel was
doomed beyond all hope OF succor. He then
