FAIR HAS A DEFICIT.
A Loss Of Between $4,000 and $1,000
-ChargeabIe to bad Weather.

The State fair this year was not f1nan-
cially successful though the loss will not
be as great as that of 1898. Secretary Ken
nedy was unable last night to say what
the extent of the loss will be and will not
be able to give any accurate figures for
several days. The total resources of the
board with which to pay expenses will be
about Sc. coo or 81. 600 less than last year and
the expenses will be about the same. Last
year the board came out just about even.
so it will be seen that the estimate of loss
is between $4,000 and $1,000
The races yesterday, which included the
programme of two days during the week
which could not be carried out owing to
rotary Kennedy did not think. however,
that this is a matter which will tend to
make the loss any heavier. He said last
night that he thought il the day had been
fair and the races had it was a question
II the gate receipts would pay the purses
Coming so late in the week and "a day after
the fair was over, tho number of horses to
start would be comparatively small.
Speaking of the fair as an exhibit, Mr.
Kennedy said he regarded it as most sue
cessful. The live stock exhibits and the
to anything ever had. and the machinery
exhibits were up TO the standard with the
exception of the loss of threshing machines
on account of the manufacturers entering
into an agreement not to exhibit at fairs.
Mr.. Kennedy said If the weather had been
favorable the attendance at the fair would
have been the greatest ever known.

partly from the uncertainty of keeping his

a stage whisper informed an officer that
he had been held up and touched.
How did it happen?" asked the officer.

Commercial Travellers Arranging for
"a Big Pilgrimage Oct. 10.

At the meeting of the Commercial Trav-
elers' Republican Club last night it was
definitely decided that the pilgrimage to
Canton 30 call upon Major Mckinley should
be made, and the time for the trip was
fixed for Oct. 10. At the meetings of the
club early in the campaign the matter of
making the trip was discussed, but the
subject was dropped for the reason that
there was some doubt about getting the
hearty cooperation of other clubs and it
was the desire to make good showing or
none at all. Recently. however, the secre-
tary of the club has been corresponding
with other clubs in this city and neighbor-
ing towns, and the prospects for big turn
out were favorable that plans were more
definitely mapped out at the meeting
week ago. AT that meeting the secretary
was instructed to request all the Republic
an clubs in the city to send committees
to last nights meeting. Many clubs We're
represented last night, and the motion to
make the trip was carried with great en-
thusiasm.

COUNCILMAN O'CONNOR ANGRY.
Scores the Board OF Works for Not
Protecting Fletcher Avenue.

Councilman O'Connor appeared before
the Board of Public Works in angry
mood yesterday and complained because
the board has taken no active steps to re-
lieve property owners living on Fletcher
avenue from the dangers of high ater.
He remarked sarcastically THAI the board
ordered papers for sewer in order to
blind people into believing moro adequate
sewer was to be built, but that vas the
last of it. Thursday night his cellar was
flooded and at his demand the city street
department sent men to his house to pump
the cellar dry. Mr.. OConnor paid his com
pliments to the police force, saying that
two patrolmen came to the house to learn
whether the people had been warned of the
danger, after which they inquired how they
could get away without being made wet.

VOCAL NERVE SEVERED
j. w. wAYT LOSES HIS SPEECH IN A
PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Silver of Steel Penetrates His Throat
and Sewers the Recurrent Layrn-
EeaI Nerve.

A peculiar accident happened to j. w.
Wayt, an employee in the repair depart
ment at the West Washington-street car
barns about 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon, which has rendered Wayt speeches..
He was at work on a car wheel with cold
chisel when suddenly blow from his ham,
mer caused a silver of the steel to fly off
and strike him on the left side of the
throat. The wound was very small and did
not bleed. The recurrent layrngeal nerve,
which supplies the vocal cords in articula-
ton, was injured and Wayt's voice soon
grew husky and in thirty minutes he was
unable to even whisper. Drs. Wilson ard
Ferguson. of the Dispensary, attended the
wounded man and he was removed to his
home at 30IR East Washington street. The
physicians do not think the injury will be
fatal, but are unable to determine whether
or not Wayt will regain his voice after the
wound has healed

''REUBEN GLUE" RUN DOWN.

Vermont streets. and was on his way home
to dinner. He saw the approaching,
but thinking he still retained the agility of
youth despite the wear of forty years, he
attempted to hurry across the track. The
car was too swift for him, and he went
shoulder. While not badly injured, his
anger knew no bounds, and for once he
dropped the accustomed monkey shines
which he is wont to display in selling pea
nuts at the bali ground and was deeply in
earnest. He threatened to make the street
car company cash his injuries.

THE FREE KINDERGHRTENS
Must Continue to Depend on support
of the Public.

The work of the Free Kindergarten in
this city this winter will continue as here
tofore and the maintenance of this excel
lent system, which has done so much Tor
the little children. will depend, as 1t has
in the past, on the support of benevolent
ly inclined people. There is an erroneous
impression in some quarters that the Free
Kindergarten will receive the support of
the School Board, but the extent of aid
furnished by the board lies merely in the
appointment of a special critic, who will
give the benefit of her special training to
the system. Miss Mann. who has had a five
years course, has been assigned to this
position. She is from the regular corps of
critics of the public school system. Two
other teachers being trained now for
this work among the younger children and
their services will be available before long.
Miss Brockhauser, who has had five years
training in Berlin, and Miss Stickney will
devote themselves to this feature of the
school work.
The School Board was willing to take
charge of one of the Free Kindergarten
with the funds at it's command, to take
in all the schools as was proposed. The
concluded that it would be unwise to re-
lease control of these schools one by one,
There is also question as to the wisdom
of the board assuming charge of the nur-
sery department of the Kindergarten. In
Cleveland the public school mana cement
has but six kindergartenS under its control,
although the movement to make the kim
dergartens a part of the system has been
under way a considerable time and has had
many supporters. The advice from Chicago
and Cleveland is to absorb these schools
slowly.
There is one innovation in the system OF
schools here which is considered in a more
favorable light by the school officials than
the absorption of the Free Kindergarten
and that is the Introduction of manual
training in the grades which include boys
between the ages of ten and fourteen years.
Miss Cropsey, the assistant superintendent
of schools, believes the effect of this train
Ing Will go a long way toward Steadying
a boy at this critical period in his life. 1t
is at a time when he is under a nervous
strain, when his book studies grow irk-
some and demand some reaction. This re-
action can best be met by employment of
the hands in work that will profit the
lad further along in life. He is taught the
first principles of a trade and the work
by the very nature of it, is engrossing to
boy at this age. There is little employ
ment for lad in a city during vacation
time Since the bicycle has come into SO
general use he doesn't even have the fam
lily horse 10 look after. The city has be-
cement and houses built with little
grass plot that he has very few soft spots
in which to tumble about Stanley Hall
and other great educators have given Sc
rious attention to this problem of caring
for the boys development at this period
and they believe now that the manual
training is the best solution offered.

MARTIN HAS THE MONEY
FLYING TRIP TO CHICAGO BRINGS
HIM HOME WITH A BEAMING FACE.
Inn ediafeIy Seeks the PopuIists, and
1t Is Announced that Fusion
May De Accomplished.

Immediately following the declarations OF
the Indianapolis Sentinel that money had
been used TO prevent the Populists from ac-
cedfng to the Popocratic proposals for fu
sion in Indiana Chairman Martin, of the
Popocratic State committee and Allen ".
Clark, king of all the push" went to Chi
cago to insist that Chairman Jones, he of
Arkansas, loosen up" a little and provide
the Indiana committee with some of the
sinews of war, even If he had to cut eff
some of the enormous expenses of the ma
tional committee at the Auditorium Annex
Hotel.
1t has been the general understanding
that Jones was not ready yet to let go of
any large amount of the Doodle contributed
by the millionaire mine owners, but the
Indiana people were prepared to urge that
this was an urgent case. The PopuliSts had
rejected fusion, but after hard pleading had
left a loophole and there was still chance
that it might be accomplished. The Dem
ocratic organ had spread stories OF whole
sale bribery and the Populsts would prob
ably be in condition to think that they
might as we'll have the game as the
name,'' and would be open to propositions.
Apparently this source of argument mad
some effect upon Jones, of Arkansas, for
Martin and the king returned yesterday
morning in fairly good spirits. THE king
hustled out among the local Populist lead
ers and told them a thing Or two.
On a later train John Gilbert Sha lin

committee, arrived. and after supper he

A HEAD-END COLLISION.
And One BicycIist Has Another Ar
rested for Not Turning to the Right.

Attorney Frank Littleton and John Paul
lus, a chairmaker, had a ''head-end" BIZ
cycle collision while riding the Circle
yesterday, and Littletons wheel resembled
a hay rake after the fragments had set
tied. Littleton asserted that Paulus was
to blame in not turning to the right in pass
ing and had him arrested for assault and
battery. Justice Lockman heard the case
yesterday afternoon and took it under adj
visement, as he does not know whether
there is a law under which person can
be prosecuted for not turning to the right
on the public road or if the rule is merely
an honored custom. Littleton will be forced
to add the price of a new wheel to his ex-
DenSeS for cOurtDlaSter.
