i KILLED BY the Cars.

This morning the s. G. & p. train
killed q man just south Of Crescent.
The man was working on the track
and when the train approached no
was warned to get off the track. He
stepped back upon the track to get .
crow bar, and IS he stopped to pick up
the bar the engine struck him knock,
ing him about twenty feet. The pilot
Of the engine caught the crow bar In
such q way that 1t drove 1t into. the
solid oak tie about six inches. The
train was stopped and the man WAS
picked up. When the trainmen reached
him he was dead, and the shock must
have killed him instantly. VIM. Kirk
off was engineer and says that whom
he saw the man get off the track he
felt that the danger was over. Tho
engine was in ten feet of the man
when he stepped back onto the track
for the crow bar, so the engineer had
no show on earth Of stopping the train.
No blame is sttached to the company
Tor the accident. .-''''

JuBlLANr THE GRAND DISPLAY ON ERIE STREET.
The Arches Are a Manifestation of Closer
Uniminity and Revived Energy, The
Gaiety Adds FruitiOn.

The artistic decorations on Erie
street last night seemed to invig-
crate the many townspeople who
we're associating with their
countrymen, while parading
on the puplic highway, gaining
renewed energy, and looking with
jubilant eyes on the magnificent
display of the product of the
farms of Harrison County that
are to be seen by casting wistful
eye.
The sweet balmy atmosphere,
mingled with the twinkle of the
beautiful stars, lending their
sweet radiant beauty to the peace
and comfort of all mankind,
showing toa satisfied degree the
creation of noble destiny.
The emblazoned arches covered
with bunting and flags, reminded
one of the famous day when Mrs
Ross in her humble hut, first con.
ceived the idea that red white and
blue we're the inoipient virtues Of
q great National Emblem, that
Zone day. would form the pro.
tectorate for the earths surface, sc
far as distributing liberty and
freedom were concerned, but like
great men, large things all have
small beginnings; thus the flag
is no less important because Of
being entwined around the mis-.
cellaneous display covering the
arches on Erie street, consisting

sorghum, corn, pumpkins, hay

and many other varieties, el


The farmers look with %,sv..,
eye upon the decorations, as they
come into town and are often
heard to speak conidentially Of
the future of Harrison County
from an agricultural standpoint
and we'll they may, as providence
has peculiarly blessed them with
not only an invigorating atmos-
phere, ccntinued-''m moderately
dry weather" during each harvest
ing season, but has otherwise
given them a good soil" that can
not otherwise be found in any
other section Of this country a.
there is but one Missouri Valley
in these states, known far and
near as the Queen of all valleys,
and most notably for the fine
grade of hay and corn, cattle and
hogs, that are shipped to the
many different markets. So sll
Of these many reports are con-
ducive to an increased pride,
mingled with a closer harmony,
that bear all the more toward .
steady onward stride, which is
necessary for any country town,
or community, if they expect to
bear fraternal feelingt toward their
fellow men. This is shown BY
the people who congregste the
street crossings apd line tho
thoroughfare, filling the soothing
breezes with a more pleasant and
agreeable forecast.

tastes made creations so beautiful as
to cause the envy of Aurora, who in

messengers to steal them from the

Since the flower parade In Omaha
two years ago, the ladies Of Harrison
county, acting on q most happy inspi-
ration, have been contemplating such
an affair, of course on smaller scale
from standpoint Of carriages, but
from one of splendor, parade that
would be its equal, and today the first
parade occurred, and never have the
people OF Harrison county, or in fact
any county in the state, seen such a
pageant. Beecher said "Flowers are
the most beautiful things God ever
made and forgot to put soul into -

that Mr.. Holmes was mad. He was

A Bad Fire.

At $3.50 this afternoon, an alarm
of fire was rung in from box -,
situated on the corner of 9th and
Erie.
Driver Hester was in the FIRE
house alone when the alarm came
in, and he had to make the hitch
up and get out alone, but he
proved himself equal to the oc-
casion and got out in fine trim.
The fire was in W. T. Roden's
house, at the corner of 9th and
Krie, and the run up Erie street
was made simply immence; a
coupling was made to the hydrant
and Driver Hester went back to
the engine house with team on
dead run, after the hook and
ladder truck, which he soon had
on the ground.
The fire was found to be in q
closet up stairs, and as Mrs.
~ y eden was at work down stairs,
she had no idea .: j; the fire until
she had to 60 up stairs for some
thing, when she found that part
of the house all on fire. The fro
boys soon had two streams on
the blaze and in half an hour the
fire was out.
The house was badly burned in
the roof and the loss from fire and
water will be quite heavy.
The best investment Mo. Valley
ever made was when they purch-
ssed the horse wagon and team,
and our citizens are all being
convinced of that fact. The Il IN.
sursnce will almost cover the loss.

Smaller vegetables, comprising
a variety consisting OF water
melons, beets, squashes, cabbsges,
pumpkins, cucumbers, etc, beside
which stands wheat, sorghum
with an abundance of honey and
an attractive swarm of bees, max

without appearing the least bit
disturbed.
In the center of the vast hall
there stands tier of shelving,
literally covered with an abun.

boiled, stewed and picked to suit,
with the favoring, the most fasti-

tractive feature without bearing
the reflection of a troublesome
tooth.
HANDIwoRK OF ART:
Returning up the left aisle
from the rear entrance coming
north, your attention is attracted
toward multitude of spectators,
who are ever complimenting upon
the marvellous attractions to be
found in this department.; Surely
"C@ser" would have been glad
to have had his Royal castle ad-
orned with such artistic fancy,
comprising almost every conceiv-
able form and device of artistic
skill, worked by needle with
human hands, into all kinds and
sizes Of flowers, bearing all cclore
and designs, sAdiating with in
tense beauty. 1t might i,e said,
with the greatest Of reluctance,
that the men do not participate in
things from craditable stand,
point, as do the women.
A little further along, the florist
could probably find species of the
fragrant flower that he could
propagate With moral certainty
of reaping rich rsward, as the
fragrance rising thereftom soothee
the fanaticisim of the most
skeptical.
ART PICTURE GALLERY:
In this department your eye ie
attracted toward a gay sight Of
peiptings and water color portraits,
among which, is to be seen the
portrait Of admiral Dewey" and
many others of once local prom.
inence, mostly all of 6ne' quality.
CATTLE:

shown are both larger and fal
better than ever before.

The stars had not yet ensconced,
nor had the moon become OBJ
scured when the cocks began to
crow, announcing the approach
of another day. The serene and
rejecting breeze bid good cheer
to the anxious multitudes who had
promised their wives, children
and sweethearts, the one day at

The sun had not yet made her
appearance when the melodies of

FLORAL BUILDING.
One of the main features of
Harrison County Fair, today
seemed to be the floral building.
Woman, old and young, swarmed
the wooden structure from the
hour Of 8 a m, and even before,
until late in the evening, and
when all other exhibits we're free
from inspection, the attractions,
consisting of works of art and
skill, from an oil painting, to a
fine cook stove, heater or range,
we're being carefully scrutinizee.
On entering by the front way

in a glass case to keep it sweet
and clean from dust and flies, and
