STATE FAIR IN 1904.
No Disagreement on Board as to Next
Years Show.


Des Moines, Dec. 1.-THE state
agricultural board, after selecting the
old officers again, proceeded at once
to consider the question of state
fair in Iowa for 1904. 1t was decided
unanimously that there should be o
state fair.
Secretary Simpson. cllnched the mat
ter when asked to make a showing as
to whether or not the big exhibitors
would be present and exhibit at the
same time as the ST. Louis exposition.
He had written to the leading exhib-
itors in each department and showed
100 letters from them. They had been
asked to state frankly whether they
would or would not exhibit at fair
next year. Only eleven Of the letters
were adverse to n state fair, all the
rest stating they would be here again.
Some of them even went SO far as 10
suggest that inasmuch as many OF the
big exhibitors will send their best
stock to st. Louis 1t will be an incen-
tive for the smaller exhibitors to
come in and try for the premiums
here when competition may not be so
sharp.
The matter was discussed all fore
noon and the conclusion reached unan.
imously that a fair should be held.
But 1t was also acknowledged that
next year more than ever before the
fair will have to depend largely on
patronage from Des Moines and vicin-
ity and an extra effort will therefore
be made to interest Des Moines people
in the fair. But for the assurance
that Des Moines would do the right
thing there would have been some
votes in opposition to the. holding OF
q fair.

Ames, Dec. 12.--Owing to the fact
that the boards of supervisors and the
county auuitors of Iowa must, under
the statutes, convene the first Monday
in January the date for the State
Drainage convention called to meet at
the Agricultural college January 9Th
and 9th, has been changed to January
18th and 10th. This change will also
make it possible for many Of the mem
bers of the legislature to be in at.
tendance at the convention who would
otherwise find it almost impossible &c
leave Des Moines earlier In the SEES
sion. This convention has already at
tracted state wide attention, and very
large number of land owners and
prominent men have signified their In
tention to be In Ames on the date OF
the meeting. The more carefully the
citizens of Iowa investigate the need
of legislation looking toward the i'm
provement of the present drainage
laws, the more enthusiastically they
endorse the action of the authorities
of the Agricultural college which led
to the call Of the state convention.
The Department of Soils has collect
ed exceedingly valuable data regarding
drainage conditions In Iowa from every
county in the state. This data will
be presented at the convention and all
of the important phases Of the sub
ject of drainage and of drainage laws
will be discussed by men well qualified
to speak at a meeting Of this kind.

FREIGHT TRAINS CRASH.
Head End Collision at Adel kiiIs
Three Trainmen.

Abel. Dec. 14.-Three trainmen
were. killed and five more or
less injured in terrible head end
collision between two freight trains
on the Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul
railway two miles east Of here at
about 3:45 o'clock yesterday morning.
The dead:
Frank Finnicum, Des Moines, engi-
neer west bound train,
Walter Ward, Des Moines, engineer
east bound train.
Oscar d. Dyer. Des Moines. fireman
east bound train.
The injured:
John s. Flynn. Des Moines. conduc-
tor west bound train; bruised and
badly shaken.
H. M. Bellman, Des Moi1es, brake
man west bound; badly bruised head
and body.
William Fields, Des Moines, brake

and injured back.
Engineer George Chambers, Des
Moines, west bound train; bruised and
cuts upon head and body.
-. IAttnCyy bCo uuOAhCoy NOhuuSeoA
east bound train; bruised and shaken.
The disaster was probably due to
the mistake of youthful operator at
Give, small way station short dis.
lance from Des Moines. At that point
the west bound freight. double head
er, received a clearance card instead
of the dispatcher's orders to meet an
east bound extra freight at Waukee
and 1t passed on through that station
without stopping. TO east bound ex.
ira, however received its meeting or
ders correctly at Redfield; 1t hurried
on through Abel and the two trains
went steaming down upon each other
at their topmost speed on the stretch
Of track between Abel and Waukee.
Then the awful mistake was discov-
cred Nervous with q terrible fear.
the dispatcher at Des Moines tried to
catch the west bound freight at Wau-
kee, but 1t had passed there some
minutes before. There was still one
chance-possibly the east bound extra
might be stopped at Abel. The dis
patcher again seized the key at his
desk and hastily clicked the operator
at Adel to stop the extra there. A
deathlike stiffness pervaded the room
as he leaned eagerly over the instru-
ment to hear its response. 1t came;
the dispatcher's face paled as he
heard it, his heart sank within him
and he was momentarily stricken with
horror. my God" he exclaimed to
those who were near him. The extra
had left Abel for its fatal run only
forty seconds before his message ar
rived and the red light at the rear OF
the caboose had barely disappeared.
An accident was inevitable and the
dispatcher in Des Moines, the opera
tor at Abel and the miserable young
fellow at Give were able to do moth
ing more than wait for the awful
crash and the death and destruction
that must follow it. An hour later
Conductor Richey walked into the
station with narrowing tale that yer.
fed their worst fears.

BIG FIRE AT CEDAR RAPIDS.
Wilcox Building Destroyed With Loss
of $4,000

Cedar Rapids, Dec. 1.-The Wilcox
building on Third avenue. occupied by
Lyman Bros, wholesale milliners, was
Quilted by fire last night with loss OF
about 100000 on building and con-
tents.
The fire started shortly before z
o'clock. When it was extinguished at
nearly midnight, practically the whole
interior had been burned, including the
millinery stock, the value Of which is
estimated at $4,000. There was about
$4,000, possibly $4,000 of insurance
on the stock. The building was erect
ed at cost OF $4,000 two years ago
The insurance on 1t was $4,000. No
insurance by companies can be se-
cured tonight
No one knows exactly how the fire
started. There are two theories.
There was lot Of slack coal In the
basement near the furnace which sup
plies the steam for heating the build
ing. This coal was near the foot OF
the elevator shaft and one theory Is
that 1t ignited and that the flames
crept up the freight elevator shaft.
Another theory is that the dynamo
which runs the elevators which had
been used a great deal during the day.
had in some way become defective OF
oyerheated.
