NEW SITE FOR
STATE FAIR
Directors Discuss Purchase oil
CaIder'S Park.
OTHER SITES PROPOSED
PROTEST AGAINST REMOVAL
FROM AGRICULTURAL PARK

No definite action was taken yester-
day by the board of directors of the D.
A. & NJ. society in the matter of con-
firming the purchase of Calder's park.
To the surprise of the members of the
executive committee of the board, OPP
position to the purchase of Calder's
park arose among some of the directors
and there was a disposition to select
other places south of the city. Some
OF the members even expressed pref
erence for Agricultural park, and it is
likely TO be some time before a definite
conclusion is reached. but the advO-
Gates of Calder's park are confident
that that place will be selected. 1t
was supposed last week that there
would be little or no opposition to the
confirmation of the deal.
There were present at the meeting
Nelson A. Empey, S. w. Sears, John
H White. J. c. Cutler. J. @. Mcdonald,
Mrs Bertha Bamberger, Mrs. Ruth NJ.
Fox, Aaron Farr, jr., William H.
Streeper and Wiley c.. Cragun.
Other Sites Proposed.
The discussion of the subject con-
sumed the entire afternoon. In addi-
ton to Calder's park and the Agricul-
tural park, there were presented for
the consideration of the board the r.
T. Burton farm and the farm of the
Sharp estate, south of the city. No
definite proposition was made to the
board with regard to either of these
farms, but each had its advocates on
the board The Burton farm is on
State street below Twelfth South, and
the Sharp farm is on the same street
below Thirteenth South
The matter of a selection was left
open and J. c. Cutler, J. G.. Mcdonald
and william H. Streeper were appoint
Ell committee to investigate the rela-
tive merits of the four sites; to get a
definite proposition in regard to the
farms, and to report at meeting of
the board of directors to be held in this
city on Saturday. Nov g. 1t is the
understanding that a selection will be
made at that time.
Fernstrom's Protest.
Another and a serious complication in
the matter cropped out at the meeting
yesterday Councilman F. s. Fern
strom appeared before the board and
protested against the selection of any
other site than Agricultural park. He
stated that the $4,000 voted to the d
! A. & NJ. society by the city council for
/ the improvements on Exposition square
was with the specific understanding
/ that the money was to be used in the
| erection of a building at Agricultural
/ park and that if that We're not done
and some other site were selected, es-
| pecially some site outside the city linn
/ it's. he would use all his influence Il
stop the payment of the money, and
/ he was convinced that the law would
be all on his side
| The board of directors voted a golC
medal to the State School for the Deai
and Blind for the excellent exhibit
made by that institution at the STATE
! fair

FELL THIRTY FEET.
Young Ernest Rossiter the Victim Of
a Serious Accident.


Ernest Rossiter, the 19-year-old son
of Mrs. Mira Rossiter of p North State
street, had an almost miraculous escape
from death in an accident at his home
yesterday in which he was precipitated
from the roof of the house to the
ground thirty feet below As result
the young man is now lying at the
Holy Cross hospital suffering from a
shattered wrist and probably some
slight internal injuries.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Rossiter de-
cided that he would paint the roof Of
his house and in order to get at the
steep roof on the north side he fastened
a ladder to the ridge pole and swung it
down the side. He thought the ladder
was securely fastened and was paint
fastenings of the ladder suddenly gave
way. Under his weight the ladder
shot like an arrow down the steep in
cline, carrying Mr.. Rossiter with it. AS
the ladder shot over the ewes il whirled
over and threw Mr.. Rossiter from it
and he fell with terrific force to the
ground below. The young man struck
upon his side and in trying to save
himself with his right hand had both
bones of his right wrist splintered. For
tunately he fell into a garden where
the ground was soft. Otherwise, ac-
cording to the statement of the doctor,
he would undoubtedly have been killed.
DR. J. S Richards was summoned
and the young man was conveyed i'm
mediately to the Holy Cross hospital,
where his injuries were attended to.
He complained of great pain and DR.
Richards said that he might have sus-
tanned internal injuries, but he would
be unable to determine the extent I'M

Arrested On Suspicion

Charles BowtOn and Charles Hackett,
two strangers, suspected of being tough
characters, were arrested yesterday by
Detectives Sheets and Janey and Ser
geant BUrbidge. BOwtOn was locked
UP for carrying a slung-shot and Hack
EFT was charged with Yagrancy. Ac-
cOrding to the statement of the officers,
they have seen the two men hanging
about the city for several days and
have had their suspicious aroused.
When searched at the station Bowton
was found to be carrying a we'll worn
slung-shot. which gave color TO the
suspicion of the police that the men
are bad characters.

STAY WITH INDEPENDENTS.
Democrats Refuse to Withdraw From
Their Ticket.


The Republicans tried hard yester-
day TO induce the Democrats to agree
to withdraw from the independent
Democratic ticket, on condition that
the Republicans would do the same
thing with their own independent
ticket. The proposition was turned
down hard by the Democratic confer
ees.
The independent Democratic ticket
contains the names of all the nominees
except those for city judges. In their
places are the names of the men Sc
lected by the Bar association. The in
dependent Republican ticket is ar
ranged IN a similar fashion. It was the
idea of Chairman Eichnor and other
Republicans that it would put the law
yers to some trouble if they were
forced to have a ticket all alone
Yesterday Joe Nystrom, Christopher
Diehl and Jodey Eldredge met with
Chairman Fouiks. w. H. Dale and f.
w. Wilson to talk the question over.
The Democrats were all against the
Republicans. They said they were
willing to take all the votes they could
get for any men on their ticket and
they desired to allow the independents
10 have their way so far as as the bal
lot is concerned.
1t was argued by the Republicans
that the Independents would get fewer
votes IL they stood alone. 1t was soon
seen that an agreement was out of the
question and the Republicans so re-
ported to Chairman Eichnor last night
settling the question for good.

Political Notes.

That Colonel Mazouma Lippman had
some reason for wanting to smoke out
the malcontents was abundantly cyl
denced by the action of the Viking
Republican League taken Friday night,
At this meeting r. Nielsen, one of the
members, made a motion that the
viking League support the entire Re
publican ticket. The motion was
greeted with jeers and other manifes-
tSuonS of 1erision, and was very
promptly sc we'd under. Nielsen at
once resigned from the league, but he
was the only member who withdrew,
and it may be safely surmised that the
others are still out with tomahawks.

THE Prodigal Son."

night in the revival meeting 1.-The
Prodigal Son" He says that a person
need not drink whiskey, swear and do
all kinds of wicked things to he a
prodigal. All persons drifting from
God and heaven are prodigals. All per-
sons dssipating their talents and
throwing away opportunities are prodi-
gals. The first mistake was when he
received money from his father Just
for the asking. Parents should know
what their boys are doing with their
money. What he blew in was what
his father placed in his hands. We
should try and get more into our boys
head and heart. Then they can not
blow in.
This boy. think, had it in his mind
that he could get through without
God. not needing any of the fathers
advice. He was OF the smart Alec
kind, the devils darling. and as all
gentlemen Of leisure are the devils
pets. / don't know where he went,
but ! think to the city. Boys that
have a desire for the life that this boy
had usually go to the city.
If / wanted to find him I would have
gone to the card table the bald
headed row in some cheap show, the
ball room, the pool room, the race
track or Sunday excursion, for these
are all way stations on the way to hell.

days with such company. He says, II
