THE lola FAIR.
A SPLENDID SUCCESS FROM START
TO FINISH. FINE EXHIBITS, BIG
CROWDS AND A GOOD
TIME GENERALLY.

The most successful Fair ever held
in Allen county according to thejudg-
ment of those who attended it, came
to an end last Saturday night. The
weather all week was superb. The
program for each day was carried out
as announced without a hitch. The
attendance was large and the crowds
were happy and orderly. There was
not a disturbance on the grounds.
Neither was there a fake or a gam
bling device of any kind. The off,
GERS knew their duty and did it.
And so the lola Fair was great sue
cess and everybody who attended Ii
felt repaid for his time and bis money.
The premium list has not yet been
put in shape for the printer, SO it can
not be published this week. But we
have been handed the number Of en-
tries in each department as follows:
Speed ring, IS; cattle %; horses 80;
swine 80; sheep 10; poultry II; mules
and asses, 8; floral hall q; historical 8;
fruit 1877; kitchen and diary 242; fine
art, 3S; grain and vegetables 2S3; tex
tile fabrics, 1852; total, 1905. This
summary shows plainly that the lola
Fair was a Fair, and not a horse
race.
The officers ask us to thank the
people generally for their patronage,
and to thank the superintendent of
the various departments especially
for their arduous work which was
given without charge.
And on behalf of the people we
want to thank the officers Of the Fair
Tor their untiring and intelligent eff
forts. President Taylor, Treasurer
DeClute and Secretary. Whitaker,
gave their whole time during the en-
tire four days, to the Fair, as they
had given large portion of it before
it opened, and they deserve the
thanks of the community for their un-
selfish and public spirited work.
The financial outcome cannot yet
be determined accurately, but it is
certain that there will be more than
entugh to pay all expenses. A COM
plete statement will be published in
due time.

THE FAIR SPEECHES.
LANES A. TROUTMAN.

MIR. Troutman made not only an en-.
tertaining but logical and convin-
cling speech. National issues were
touched briefly but clearly, and then
the speaker turned his attention to
Kansas Populism, and his arraign-
MEET of it was simply terrific. Start
ing out as farmers party, said Mr..
Troutman, the Peoples party has not
now a single bona fide farmer on its
list of high salaried office holders. In
1890 it nominated farmer for Cover
nor. but in 1893 it turned him down
and nominated a despised middleman
and chattel money loaner in his
place. In 1890 it elected genuine
farmer to Congress from the Fourth
district but in 1892 it left him at home
and nominated quack doctor instead.
Referring to the calamity cry of the
Populists, the speaker said he had
taken the pains to run down 1000
mortgage foreclosures that had taken
place in 63 counties in Kansas, and he
found that only &c out of the thousand
were homesteads, the remainder being
Abandoned farms, rented farms and
towd property. He stated farther
that the last report OF the Populist
Bank commissioner showed that there
were S32,OOO,OOO now on deposit in
the banks of Kansas, not less than $50
per capita. Passing from this Mr..
Troutman reviewed the record of the
Peoples party in this State, proving,
not by Republican but by Populist
testimony, its dishonesty, corruption
and utter incompetency He did not
make charge that he cannot COM
letely prove, and it seems strange
hat anyone who heard him can ever
again support the gang of incompe-
tent corruptionists who are now in
the Saddle in the Peoples party of
this State. Mir. Troutman closed
with an elegant tribute to Kansas,

THE CANDIDACY OF VIM. HANKIN

THE CANDIDACY OF VIM HAWKINS
The announ cement of VIM. Hank.
ms as an independent candidate fol
Probate Judge appears in the adver.
Using columns of the REGISTER this
week.
1t is need less to say that we regret
very much to print this announcement
as Mr.. Hawkins has been an active,
working Republican for thirty years,
and it is hard for those who have al
ways counted on his help to find him
now against them.
We regret this the more because
there seems to be no adequate reason
for it. Mr.. Hankins was candidate
before the Republican convention and
had declared in his announcement
that he would abide by the decision
of that convention. What reason has
he for boiling any more than either of
the other defeated candidates?
Mr.. Hawkins answers this by say
ing that unfair means were used to
defeat him in the convention. He is
undoubtedly honest in this belief, but
we are convinced he is mistaken, and
we believe that every unprejudiced
man who will carefully consider all
the circumstances will reach the same
conclusion. Mr.. Hankins went into
the convention with sc votes. Mr..
Bennett with 40. Now while these
two men were running tor different
offices, the convention was really COM
PEELED to choose between them, for
they were both from lola and it was
the Judgment of large majority of
the con vention that two candidates
for important offices ought not to be
chosen from this town. This being
the case was it not entirely natural
that the man who had the most votes
in the convention should be chosen
The convention could not nominate
both men, so it nominated the one who
had 40 votes rather than the one who
had only SO votes. Why explain the
result by charging fraud when there
is so easy and natural an explanation
as that one had Is more votes than
the other?
Mr.. Hankins thinks there was a
bargain" between the friends of Mr..
Bennett and those of Mr.. Smith. We
are utterly unable to find any evil
dence of it. What did Smith have to
give Bennett in exchange for votes
for himself? Humboldt That dele
CATION was instructed for Glover and
voted for him to the last. Logan?
Logan was already instructed for +
Ben aett. In fact we have been unable

DAVID OVERMYER.

name.
DAVID ovERMYER.
David Overmyer made the only
thoroughly honest, unequivocating,
unevading, uncompromising Demo-
cratic speech we ever heard. 1t was
an old fashioned States rights, strict
construction, tree trade, unterrified
Democratic speech, such as we have
heard our fathers talk about but such
as this generation has rarely heard,
here in the north at least. "a pro-
tective tariff" said Mr.. Overmyer,
"lays duties on those things which
we do or can produce in this country;
a revenue tariff lays duties ON those
things which we cannot produce IN
this country" That is perfect def
milton of the two kinds of tariff, but
David Overmyer is the only Demo-
crat we ever heard admit it. He de-
Tended the late Congress heroically,
and declared that the only true friend
of silver was the Democratic party.
1t was worthy of note that he did not
once mention the name of Grover
Cleveland. He scored Populism and
showed clearly its inconsistencies and
vagaries. And of course he assaulted
prohibition and equal suffrage vicious
ly, declaring them the twin abomina-
tions. From a Democratic standpoint
it was powerful speech, and the two
or three Democrats who graced the
occasion with their presence were
greatly refreshed.
COL. F. ]. CLOSE.
Col. Close is not as much of an ora
tor as either Mr.. Troutman or Mr..
Overmyer, but he is pleasant and
earnest speaker, and his speech if al
lowed to go uncontradicted would
carry conviction with 1t. But unfor-
tunately for him and for the party he
represents every material statement
he made is contradicted by the facts.
Take his statement that the Populists
saved the State Sl,5OO,OOO last year,
for example. The simple fact that
the total appropriations made by the
last legislature for the two years 1893
4, were only SS,OOO,OOO, would make
this declaration of Col. Closes impos-
sible. How did they save a million
and half in one year when that was
all the money appropriated? Would
Mr.. Close have US believe that the
Populists ran this State last year at
their own expense? That is the only
way they could have saved the tax
payers the amount claimed. But the
facts are that there was $4,000 less
in the State treasury Jan l, 1894, than
there was Jan. J, 1898, showing that |
the Populists had not only paid out |
all the money that had been collected |
in taxes during the year 1913, but had
spent S1l2, 600 of the money that the
had left there when they
went out. His claim that the Popu-
lists had made a great saving in the
State printing is equally without
as is amply shown by the
TACT that there has been no change i'm
the law governing either the amount

GERMAN TRlCKERY.
Consul Monaghan Tells How Ger
mans Defrauded a R. l. Concern.
By TheA.octated Press.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The bureau of
statistics of the state department has
always taken lively interest in the sub
iect of technical education, and has
from time to time given TO the public
reports of consuls showing the condition
and progress OF technical and manual
training schools in foreign countries.
The August compilation OF consular re-
ports contains much matter upon this
subject of vital interest to educators.
Particularly interesting are the reports
upon the excellent German technical
schools and the comments of our consuls
upon their practical results. Consul
Monagh han at Chemnitz tells many valu-
able facts about the German workshop
system. 1t Is common practice
for the German manufacturer to take an
American machine apart, copy it and sell
the reproductions in direct competition.
In one case, failing by other means to get
at the secret of the unparalleled work Of
a great Rhode Island tool firm, a success
full German manufacturer sent his son to
the American shop as an appren tice.

DIED OF FRIGHT.
An Engineer ParaIyzed at His Mistake
Died With Hand on the Throttle.

TOPEKA, Aug. 15.-H. r. Skyles who
was i'm the Santa Fe wreck at Highland,
Mo-, Sunday morning, made a statement
TO Master Mechanic John p. Layer, a few
minutes after the collision which makes
il reasonable to presume that Engineer
Humphrey died OF fright before the two
engines came together.
AS they were approaching the Hurdland
switch 5kyles moved to Humphreys side
of the cab and said:
"Was it not at Gibbs we had orders to
stop?"
Just then the headlight OF the west
bound train showed around the curve.
Humphrey said not word nor moved
hand or foot, but looked straight ahead
with CLASSY eyes at the other engine,
which was moving at terrific rate.
Skyles spoke to him again, but still the
engineer did not move, and the fireman
to save his life jumped. The other engi-
neer reversed his engine and he and the
fireman saved themselves by jumping.
When the collision occurred their
train was almost at dead stand,
proving that il Humphreys engine had
been reversed at least serious wreck
could have been prevented. whether
Humphrey was dead or alive when the
two trains collided, no one will ever know,
but from Skyles' statement it is certain
that when he heard Skyles remark and
saw the approaching headlight at the
same moment, he realized that he had
done an awful thing and was paralyzed
by its enormity, IL he was not actually
killed

A FATAL RIDE.
Arthur Mclean Took a Young
Girl to Ride
And Murdered Her in Cold Blood
Henniker's Awful Mystery.

BY The Associated Press.
HENNIKER, N. H., Aug. 5.-This little
village was thrown in state of wild ex-
element early this morning by the dis
covery of a peculiar and unaccountable
murder.
About 7 o'clock last evening, Arthur
Mclean, aged n, young man employed
in the shoe factory here and well known
in this section, engaged team at the liv-
cry stable of Fitz Courser, and with
Miss Nettie Douglas, aged Is, the daugh-
farmer, started off for ride.
The pair drove off in the direction Of
Contoocook, evidently the best OF friends.
The team did not return by midnight,
and Mr.. Courser instructed the hostler to
stay up and wait until it came in. The
stableman found comfortable position in
the barn and soon fell asleep.
About 3 o'clock this morning he was
awakened by the noise of the wagon
coming into the stable yard. He went
out and found the carriage turned around
and tilted partly on one side.
Hostier's Onastly flnu.
On the ground near by lay the dead
body OF Miss Douglass. There was a
ragged bullet hole in her temple, another
in the top OF her head and a third through
her jaw. Her clothing was covered with
fresh blood and it was evident that she
had been dead but short time.
The seat of the carriage was saturated
with blood, which was spattered in every
direction. The clothing of the girl was
slightly disarranged and there were evil
dences of struggle with her slayer.
Mclean Found.
The stableman at once alarmed the
neighborhood, and a searching party set
out on McLean's trail. He was found lying
facc downward by the roadside, about
three quarters of mile from the village
on the road to Warner, but he was neither
wounded nor unconscious lie is under
arrest but refused to explain the tragedy
or say word about it.
When Last Seen.
About 10 O'Clock last night Arthur Dow,
a resident Of Hopkinton, while driving
home, met Mclean and Miss Douglass
near w street, Hopkinton, apparently on
their way home. AS far as is yet known,
this was the last seen Of the couple to-
gether.
Mclean has never shown symptoms OF
insanity, and his strange actions are
wholly unaccountable. This morning he
appeared cool, but rather dazed. Miss
Douglass was a student in the high school
and had many admirers.

Antique Furniture.

The rage for antique furniture was largely
born of the historical interest which attaches
to it's interesting shape. The furniture manu-
facturers are now supplying this demand In
accurate reproductions OF the most famous
historical pieces Of earlier centuries, Ii is o
rich treat TO go through the warerooms OF
Pane's furniture company on Canal street,
Boston. and see the antique shapes and forms
reproduced even TO the most accurate coloring
of the wood. There is reason for the pur-
chase of such furniture in its increased COM
fort over modern frames.

READY TO GO UP.
The Balloon Ascension at Crescent
Park Today.

Preparations for the balloon ascension
today at Crescent Park were begun yes
terday, and this morning wind buffer
was erected in case the wind should blow
while the process OF initiating
was going on. Prof. Jewell says his chief
trouble comes while initiating and getting
away from the grounds. Once away
he is all right. The balloon
inflated stands up about hundred feet
from the ground, presenting such large
surface to the wind, and the outside pres
sure being ~ much greater than
the inside, that it is very diff
cult to fill the balloon while
the wind is blowing. The ascent is much
more rapid than the descent in the para
chute. The balloon rises the first
thousand feet in about two minutes.
Professor Jewell says he has no fear
about alighting. II he strikes a current
that carries him toward the bay he will
throw of before he gets over II, otherwise
he watches for an open space as near as
possible to the spectators and then
drops.

Camp in a Hurry.
BIZ The Assoelnted Press.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 15.-A special to The
Sun from Hyattsville, Md. says: General
Coxey, who returned to Camp Liberty
yesterday for the purpose Of taking away
seven OF his horses, was almost mobbed.
When questioned about the movement
by one of his men, he became
angry and said he was done
with the whole scheme. This greatly
incensed the five men left by the Balti-
more police to take care OF the camp
property and Coxey was obliged to beat a
hasty retreat on one of the horses. The
other horses were driven around back
road and in this way he got possession
OF the property. The men gave chase
to Coxey, but he escaped.

FISHBACK MAD.
CoIIusion With the Sugar Trust Psts
Democracy on Defensive.
Ru The Associated Pres.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 15.-Governos
Fishback received telegram yesterday
from an Eastern newspaper asking him
what in his opinion would be the effect OF
the tariff bill on National and party In
terests. Here is his reply:
"The action of the Senate can neither
be explained nor defended. Their bill,
FALLING so far short OF public expectation
and public demand, leaves the tariff ques-
tion still unsettled and can but affect busi-
ness interests injuriously. The collusion
with the Sugar Trust put our party on the
defensive, and unless free sugar bill
passes before the fall election, We may ex-
pect disaster"
