indictments have not yet been returned,
although they are expected soon.
Postmaster General Payne has stated
that when the grand jury disposes of
the cases now before it, the criminal
prosecutions growing out Of the investi-
cation will be all under way. He has
further stated that frauds involving
approximately $s75,OO are under con-
sideratlon by the jury at the present
time. A number OF dismissals will
doubtless follow the conclusion Of the
legal end of the Investigation and there
will be considerable reorganization.
Once indictments have been secured,
the Postoffice Department surrenders
all control Of legal cases to the Depart.
ment Of Justice.
Like Diogones of old Secretary Hit
chcock is still hunting for an honest
man, to conduct the investigation OF
the Indian Territorial scandals, which
investigation he maintains WAS begun
last May. The Secretary is greatly
elated over the indictment at Lawton
of bridge contractor and three OF the
county commissioners who were i'm
plicated in an attempt to defraud
the country through the construction Of
bridges not in accordance with specii-
cations, etc. These men were among
those who wore constructing public
improvements with the funds accruing
from the sale Of lots in IA vton.
Secretary Hitchcock regards ,ne.r in
dictment az an evidence of the fact that
he has been under the necessity OF pro
ceeding with the utmost caution in the
acceptance of public improvements
constructed with those funds

THE EXPECTED HAPPENS
Street Car COlIides With Freight on
Eighth Street

Monday night the last north bound
car on the city division collided with
freight at the corner Of Sth and Quay
streets damaging the car and injuring
several Of the passengers. The car was
coming down Sth street with Is passen-
gers on board and slowed down near
the Quay street railroad crossing, the
conductor is supposed to go ahead and
see whether the track is clear, but he
did not do 80 and the motorman ran
ahead, when suddenly he noticed the
freight train directly ahead OF him, he
reversed the power but the car had &C
quired such momentum that it could
not be stopped and with crash ran in
to the freight. The shock threw the
street car from i.s trucks and severely
bruised some Of the passengers, but no
one was dangerously injured. This ac-
cident was but slight and will probably
teach u lesson for 1t might easily have
been worse. That the accident has hap
pened is no surprise to anyone that has
watched the carelessness of motormen
and conductors. While the franchise
requires the railroad company to lower
its gates, il Is rarely done and the street
Car employees are equally careless in but
seldom observing the rules applying to
crossings. II is also fact that the cars
are allowed to run curves at high speed
without even the gong being sounded to
warn people Of its coming and this neg
lect will sometime or other also cause
trouble.
Mr.. Higgins is not to blame for the
accident, it only shows how little people
can be depended OH to carry out the
rules established for their own and others
safety. The car was in charge OF Con
ductor Christensen and Motorman
julius Toebe.

THE MANITOWOC
COUNTY FAIR
The Annual County Fair Is Now
In Full Operation Large
Attendance is Expected
GOVERNOR WILL SPEAK THURSDAY
Good Exhibits at the Local Grounds This
Year-Races and Wire Performer
Especially Attractive.

Yesterday, Wednesday, the Manito-
voc County Fair opened its gates for
the 1908 exhibition, it being the first day
it was mainly devoted TO entering ar
ticies and getting the exhibits in condi-
ton. Thursday being the day the gov
ernor appears at the grounds, will be
the largest day beyond doubt. The
paper being issued before the governors
address is delivered we will bring a.
much as possible OF it in the next issue.
Friday is Chiidren's day, and as usual .
large crowd of the youngsters will be
there OF late years the agricultural
part OF the fair has been sadly on the
wane, but the fault lies mainly with the
farmers themselves. Formerly every
one was anxious to exhibit, not so much
for the sake of the premium as to show
what they produced and to aid in max
ing the fair success. The older farm.
ers are getting stiff and tired and 30 do
not trouble with it any longer while the
the Younger ones have that same rest
less spirit that the whole nation is pos
sessed with end believe in working only
when the dollar is in sight Where
this feeling prevails the agricultural part
OF the fair will 90 backward and All the
inducements Of secretaries are Of no
avail.
A number of the fairs of late years
attract crowds because they are run
like q circns, if crowds is what the
management is after, then this method
ia a success. but the real object OF tho
| fair ID lost right of. This year the SEC
retaries have entirely lost sight of the OBJ
ject of fairs. lookingfor crowds only
have made arrangements to have political
speeches delivered, hoping thereby to
gain their object. The secretary how
ever cannot be blamed either entirely,
the association puts the business In his
hands and he is supposed to run it for
all there is in ii not to help the farmer
but to secure dividends for the stock
holders aud if he does not do that =
kick il registered. Just rs long IS your
fairs are run to make money they will
| be failure from an agricultural point
OF view.

THE CARNIVAL
IS ALL OVER
The Carnival Association Lost
About One Thousand Dollars
Playing ManitowOc.
LOCAL PARTIES MAKE A SMALL SUM
Company Put on a Better Show Than
Was Expected, But No Que is
Sorry That II is Over.

Monday morning in the midst OF
fierce rain the carnival people pulled
out to appear at the next place, and with
their leaving Manitowoc rubbed it's eyes
and turned back into the old sleepy rut.
The weeks excitement of the midway
was too much, all we're tired. The
management put up very good and
clean show at ManitCwoc but whether
that is the cause of the poor business or
not at any rate the company claims that
Manitowoc gave them severe rap they
leaving about 81, 900 in the town. The
parties that had fostered the shows in
the town received 20 per cent of the re-
ceipts, getting about $500 but after pay
ing their expenses it left them about
5000 clear. At that rate the receipts
amounted to only $4,000 which if we
consider that the company carried 1870
people with them does not amount to
much. The streets were thronged with
sightseers afternoons and evenings, but
most conteuted themselves with view
ing the shows from the outside. Well
never mind. it is better for a town for a
show to leave money in it, than take
money out and in our opinion the com
pany did not get much. The carnival
business is now settled and beyond a
doubt parties that are desirous of en-
riching our people will let the town
alone for q little while. With few ex
ceptions business during the week was
poor, people coming to see the show aud
not buy goods. Excepting for few
drunks, order was pretty we'll maintain
ed. The last night a few small boys
had looked at a saloon and became giddy
but little shaking up expelled the gas
from their brainboxes and they went
home where they belonged. The snake
eater gave up the last day claiming he
was not hungry and not receiving other
inducements to keep on he stepped out,
but there was no rush to fill the vacancy
and the company will have to look else
where for another. Well they are gone
may Fond du Lac get along with them
as we'll as we have.

FACTORIES OUTGROW TOWN
Two Rivers Has Not LabOrers Nor Houses
to Put Them In.

The proposed Advertising Novelty
factory at Two Rivers will be declared
off, the promoters finding that Two Riv
ers has not enough laborers to fill the
positions in the present factories and
also |. not able to furnish homes fol
those that might come there. Mr.. Mann
stated ''the fact is the factories have
outgrown the town." This is a condi'
ton that does not often arise but il
seems to be true of Two Rivers. A
number of Manitowoc people are work
ing in our neighboring city but even
that way the supply is not equal to the
demand.
