Fair has moved the National Purchase
Exposition Commission to suggest a
conference of all interests in connec-
ton with the exposition with the OBJ
ject of securing wider explorations in
the press.
President Thomas H. Carter, Of the
commission has addressed to Presi-
dent Francis on behalf of the commits
sion, a letter asking conference to
be participated in by representatives
of the Exposition Company, the Ma
tional Commission and the represen-
tatives of Governments, States, Terri
tories and Districts. The letter calls
attention to the value of press refer
ences and suggests a system by which
the. news relating to particular sec
ton or State shall be sent there. The
ends with the assur
arce of cooperation on the part of
the commission on any plan which
the exposition company may see fit
to adopt, and the need of bringing UP
the attendance record again is en-
phasized.

from the West and Southwest or from
the very regions where the greatest
disturbance to business poise might
be expected to exist. For instance,
Kansas City takes a very hopeful
view Of the crop situation. A week Of
ideal harvesting weather has changed
the whole aspect of things, and mer-
chants are refilling orders that had
been cancelled on account of the
floods. In spite of the packers strike,
Chicago has had week of marked |

bumper size, the Southwest is begin

of his experiments to determine the
physiological effect of cocaine upon

Winners, of Milford, lies dead to-day.
DR.. Winners, aware of the prevalence
of the cocaine habit, determined to
ascertain first its effects and then the
cure. His diary shows the results of
his experiments from the day he be-
gan. 1t was his habit to take the CO.
caine in the afternoon, go to his room
and seat himself before a lighted
mirror. He watched for the slightest
change in himself, and wrote down
notes of the effects of the drug.
The effect of the drug finally drove
him insane. Neighbors heard crash
yesterday in his room and burst in the.
door to find him beating the floor
with the butt of shotgun. He said
the floor was on fire. He was bound
to prevent doing injury to himself.
After along period of unconscious
ness he died. His diary was found
and revealed his experiments with the
drug.
