man, apparently about eighteen
years old, named Will Shields. at

Dixie Marble Works when missing
his hold he fell under the wheels
which passed over both his legs just
below the body, crushing them near

survived only a short time, death
relieving him of his intense misery.
He came to this city from Macon.

THE MAYORS COURT.

His honor had very good court |
this morning and several dollars
were taken Ia for Lemonade and
even for the beer were it not for the
fact that one had to send 50 far away
for it.
John Msore charged with assault
and battery was found guilty and
fined $3.50 and the price OF two
lemonades with some pocket change
left.
Enoch Kelley charged with gam
ing found guilty and fined the
stipulated price and the sodawater.

m ,ney Oh game OF baseball-and
it was not very interesting game
either-f1ned three fifty and the trim
mings.
Walter Reid charged with the
same offense and fined the same
price.

Fannie Pool, charged with assault
and battery, found guilty and fined
50 and the price of the beer.
Another case where white man
was out with common prostitute
Fined $50 and the price of severa
bottles of beer.
This wound up the proceedings FOL
this morning and all the guilty par
ties went their way with as much nn
concern as if nothing had ever hap
pened. Very likely those who be
on the baseball game had forgotten
that it was a violation of the law
The betting was done merely to maxi
the game more interesting, as Otter
men will unthoughtedly bet whel
they become little enthused over
game or horse race. Still it is VIC
latlon of the law and their forgetful
ness does not excuse them.

OVATION TO MITCHELL.
Principal Labor Day Attraction ir
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. Sept. 3-The organized
workmen of Philadelphia yesterday
paid their tribute to John Mitchell,
president of the United Mineworkers
of America, and at the same time
showed their sympathy in a substan
tial way for the striking anthracite
rlineworkers of Pennsylvania. The
presence of the miners chief was
made the occasion of a great demon
stration. In the forenoon a parade
was held under the auspices OF the
Central Labor union. More than TO-
COO men were in line. President Mitch
ell rode at the head of the procession
and his reception along the route or
the parade was enthusiastic. Twelve
miners dressed in their greasy over
alls and blouses acted as an escort.
After the parade a big picnic was held
in Washington Park. on the New Jer-
sey side of the Delaware river, a few
miles below this city. There were
probably 10000 persons in attendance.
Here Mr.. Mitchell made two ad
dresses. His principal speech was
made in the grove, where between
4 900 and 5000 listened and cheered
thestrikers' leader.

every detail and good weather assured
a big attendance for the first day. The
grounds are in excellent condition by
reason by reason of the recent rain,

indicates that this will be the greatest
fair in the history of the state agri-
cultural association.
Visitors began arriving at the
grounds as soon as the gates opened
and by afternoon the grounds were
crowded with sightSeers. One of the
chief attractions during the day vas
the good roads building demonstration
being conducted by the government ex-
perts on the north side Of the grounds.
Farmers and city people were alike in
terested in the results obtained by the
use of the latest machinery under the
direction of engineering experts.
The stock display is this year much
larger than heretofore. All OF the
barns are filled and some herds are
Accommodated in tents nea the barns.

Less by the Pest.
Moorhead, Mimi, Sept. 3.-The Hes
sian fly is the object Of investigation
on the part of/the state entomologist
from the experiment station at st.
Anthony Park. He reports its wide
spread occurrence. About Alexandria
farmers report losses all the way from
l per cent or less to 10 per cent, while
in the vicinity of Fergus Falls indl-
vidual farmers do not hesitate to put
their loss in some cases as high as 20
per cent, and even 80 per cent upon
some fields. In every wheat field along
the line of the Great Northern, from
Alexandria to Moorhead, much fallen
straw can be seen lying in the stubble,
unmistakable evidence at this season
OF the presence of this pest. Prof..
Washburn has visited about twenty
farms and says that II per cent loss
on account of the Hessian fly Is a very
conservative estimate for the counties
of Douglas, Otter Tail and Clay. IN
spite of the presence Of the insect the

A BENEFIT 70 FARMERS.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent in.
corporation Of the international Har.
vester Company which took over the
business of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been considered by a large portion OF
the farming community.
The economical necessity Of a con.
solidation of the interests of manufac.
turers and those of their farmer Gus
toners must be apparent to any one
who understands the present situa-
ton.
The increased and increasing cost
Of material, manufacturing and sell
ing-the latter in consequence OF ex-
IRENE and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several SELL
ing ~agents-has made the business
Improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the In
creasing Of the prices of machines or
the reduction of the cost of manutac-
ture and sales. The latter could only

As can readily be seen, the forming
OF the new company was not a stock
jobbing operation but q centering OF
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is con-

and tangible assets. There Is no
stock offered to the public, it having
all been subscribed and paid for by
the manufacturers and their associ-
ates.
