OUR NEW FAIR.
THIS \ ear Promises to Eclipse all
Former Efforts.

1t is with pride that we view our
new fair grounds and see the rapidly
growing structures and the formation
of the race track and grounds in
general under the quick and skillful
hands OF the mechanic and laborer.
For months this work has been push
ed with energy by men who have de-
voted their time and made it study
how to do the work in as short time
as possible and at the same time
to make it so picturesque that
it might smile in all its beauty
and grandeur when its gates are
thrown open to the spectator and OBJ
server who will swarm there next Oc-
tober to view with criticizing eye
the work of our new association.
The spot chosen by the new associa-
tion for the erection OF the new
grounds was not an over inviting one
a few months ago, only so far as its
nearness to the city. but now since
the skillful hand has been placed upon
those grounds they have transformed
to a spot which will be the pride of
our citizens for years to come.
The track, which is undoubtedly the
best half mile track in Southeast Mis-
souri,, was completed under many diff
fculties AMI with considerable labor.
Its bed and formation makes an ideal
track .Or the experienced hOrseman
and no doubt all records swill be brOk-
er for this part of the country at our
fair next October.
The amphitheatre and art hail show
splendid architecture and workman
ship and when a coat of fresh paint
dons these structures their beauty will
be increased ten fold. Likewise the
same might be- said of all the out
buildings and when the high board
fence is competed the new grounds
will be ready to stand the closest
scrutiny OF the most precise critic.
This is saying great deal for our
new fair grounds but nevertheless they
are plain, simple facts that are placed
before the eye. 1t is human nature to
doubt, but that which we see with our
own eye is sufficient guarantee OF
the truth.
Taking all this iatn consideration.
also tn fact OF the hustling ability of
the printing committee which has been
demon stra.ed by their energetic efforts
along this line, there is no reason
why tle fair this year should not be a
grand success in every way.
All that is required now is United
effort on the part Of every citizen ano
we ar econfident that our .iOpes will
b. realized to their full extent.

There il always a story in "ircula-
non about some one. There is always
a a-contidential lie whispered through
the community about some fellow
creature. and every one is admonished
to say nothing about it. and finally
everybody knows it but the person in
question. If you have a friend who
is made the subject of silly gossip, it
is your duty to tell him about it. If
you keep still and allow your friends
reputation to be stained and trampled
under foot. without chance 10 defend
himself. you are doing a great in-
Justice. We do not believe IN haIcn-
ing up trouble for any one. and we
hate to see a mau convicted OF a crime
in the midst Of the people without a
chance to explain the matter. 1t would
be q good thing if lies Were painted
on the atmosphere in which they were
told and the liars picture attached TO
them. There wouldn't be so many
told. but the atmosphere would be full
of word pictures, and what beauti-
full collection it would make.-EX.

Our New Battle Shin

There Is a new queen of the Ameri-
can Navy-the United States battle
ship Ala bama, which the other day
! won the title made one of the most
magnificent trial trips yet held in the
history of ;he navy. Her average
speed for four hours continuous
steaming vas seventeen knots, a fig
ure not quite as high as that made by
the Iowa, but notable from the fact
that it gave an idea of the yet unde-
veloped power of this latest product
of American shipbuilders. The Ala
bama was built by the Cramp at Phil
adelphia, and, while of the first-class,
she is unlike any of the earlier crea-
tions. both architecturally and as
fighting machine. Built under con-
tract that required at least an aver
age speed of sixteen knots an hour.
she has D. en- turned out to do seven
teen knots or better, under conditions
that would not oe turned extra.
The Iowa, when she left her build
ers hands in 1897, was officially re-
corded at l1.O4. Her speed was made
under tine very best possible condi-
tions. After IA laps of more than
two years. the Kentucky, on Septem-
Der n, and the kearsarge, two months
later, came 10 the New England coast
and under favorable. but not ex-
traordinary conditions made 1851
and 1850 knots respecti .'ely. These
figures nave now been beaten by "A
narrow margin, to Re sure, but the
Alabama, apparently was made to do
bur little beyond her mean speed.

ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Runs from Cape Girardeau to Mem
phis, Tenn.

PMS, lchu.
We take the following from the
Charlottesville Democrat under date
OF August q:
William Tucker, who follows the
building of levees and railroad
grades, and who built much of the
levee in this neighborhood and built
the entire dump for the railroad from
here to Blytheville, was in the city
yesterday.
Mr.. Tucker has for several months
past lived at Cape Girardeau, where
he did some grading on the extension
of the Houck Missouri and Arkansas
railroad from Commerce to Cape
Girardeau. The new race track in the
Cape GirarGeau fair grounds Is Mr..
fuckers work.
Mr.. Tucker, on next Monday. will
90 out to Pascola where he will es-
tablish headquarters for grade
building camp, he having a large con-
tract to build ard grade for the
Houck.s 5 Missouri and Arkansas rail-
road. This road, formerly only con-
nected Morehouse, in New Madrid
county, on the Iron Mountain railroad,
with Commerce on the river, il Scott
county. Lately, the road has been ex-
tended from0 Commerce into Cape
Girardeau.
Work has now been commenced on
this road according TO Mr.. Tucker, to
exiena it from Morehouse on south.
with Memphis as the ultimate terminus.
Grading will be carried on from
Morehouse south and from Pascola
north. Also the timber road now
running from Pascola. south, into the
timber. is to become part OF the new
road and will be extended on doNn
into the Dogskin settlement, 10 where
the new road is to be completed by
Christmas.
The Cotton Belt road is to he cross
ed at Lotta, New Madrid county.
Mr.. Tucker said the day before he
lef. Cape Girardeau, thirty-tive car
loads OF rails arrived for use in build
ing this road.
AS the name indicates, this road is
one of the many which have been
built through the indomjtable pluck
and push OF Louis Houcsshe Soath-
east Missouri railroad magnate. Tie
original line has been in opera
tion for several years, but it has only
been since he disposed of his interest
in the Cape road that Mr.. HOuck has
been improving the Missouri and
Arkansas route.

EoiIOLT Dur Lead.

By its PrGmptness in replying 20
the peace overtures Of Ii Hung
Chang. the United States has scored
another diplomatic beat Oh the
powers. The lead taken by the Wash
iagton government is being followed
by Europe, and there is every reason
to believe the powers Will be united in
the policy laid down frem Washing
ton.
The action Of the United States was
quickly followed by similar action on
the part of Germany, the Berlin For
eign Office delivering to the Chinese
Minister an answer refusing 30 enter
into negotiations on the ground that
there was no evidence that Ii Hung
Chang's credentials gave him suffi-
cient power to act. and that nothing
short of complete authority from the
responsible rulers of China, the En-
peror and Empress Dowager, could
be regarded as sufficient.

No. Welded &c, silver.

The Mexican Herald G,at.!Gr with
the silver question i1 Mexico III ..-icw-
ed b. American journals says:
Here in Mexico We know what
deprecated dollar means. In
one way it il a good taing,
for the gold premium has enabled
Mexico to go into misunderstanding
for herself and at round profit.
In "a word. cheap silver has been and
still is in a measure Il protection to
home industry, and just as protection
has got the United States on its feet
and ena bled it to become Il greater eX-
porter of manufactures so silver
money has. in the modern days, help
ed President POririo Diay's great
plan of making Mexico self-sustain-
ing and self providing. Sc far 80
good. but that great statesman nor
his accomplished and successful minis
ter Gf finance. make an idol of silver:
they regard it as Il means to an end
and when that end is achieved. Mexico
will adopt such standard as suits
her interests best. Perhaps Mexico
may remain with the silver standard.
perhaps she may adopt gold basis.
All thai is in the future and a sensible
government does not worry over
eventualiiies to arrive twenty years
in the future. What We want to make
clear to money talking politicians up
North il that Mexico Is not eUthusias-
tie over the white metal.

\ COMING POSSIBILITY.
Strained Relations Between The
Powers Threaten TO Terminate
in u Disastrous End

The extensive war preparations dur
ing the past few months by France.
Germany and Russia has "a deep
meaning which as vet remains unsolv-
ed That entire Europe is on the verge
Of war cannot be disputed by the
thoughtful person. The evidence is
visable on every hand and any az
grcssive movement on the part OF one
government might percipjtate the
powers III Il w:.r that would bring dis
astef to the entire universe.
Now comes the report from China
that Russia. Germany and Japan have
declared war on China and invite
England and the United States to
retire. The United States has spoken
plainly and emphatically in regard to
the Chinese question aad her request
must be complied with regardless of
the Interference Of other powers.
1t Is evident that the territorial
greed of these powers has been arous-
ed and they vii! no doubt make an
effort to seize whatever territory they
can.
Then on tle ut.cr land. tho antag-
onistic feeling which exists between
England and Fra nee might bring on a
clash in that direction. Chamberlain
di-trusts the French. and the French
distrust Chamberlain. Each believes.
tine other determined to seize the first
favorable opportunity of dealing his
rival deadly blow. When difficulty
arises in China, Morocco and else
where, the Iirst question is not how
can both unite in preventing war. cut
will Chamberlain think the moment
affords the convenient opportunity :or
demolishing the French feet: /: he
does then the French are fully con-
vinced he will make war. French ac-
tivity in army and navy circles may
not be rightly based upon the belief
that France intends to force a war
with England at the close Of the Paris
Exposition. but it has good grounds
fur exi-tance.
What is <mOre likely is that the
French government has an understand
