itors for many days Nothing to COM
pare Nlth them was ever attempted be-
fore. The, are the climax of several
decades OF educational work which Is
placing tanning on a high plane and
is making sclentifc agriculture n pleas

WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR.
Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer 10 Be Expected at 81. Louis.

Usually the warmest month Of the
year, July proved TO be one of the most
pleasant of the Worlds Fair season,
the average temperature being 81 de-
grees. n record lower than that made
by either Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati or Chicago. The
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures In st. Louis during July
were just between the extremes re-
corded at New Orleans and ST. Paul,
cities located at great variance.
August in st. Louis is a month Of
cool nights, and September and Octo-
Der are the most delightful months OF
the year. 1t is that period known as
Indian summer, when the foliage and
birds linger TO challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the American con-
tinent is there a spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city. garden
of blooming flowers and spraying foun-
tains.
st. Louis, like all cities, experienced
several bot days during July, but her
highest temperature recorded was 93

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
YESTERDAY AT ERNOON
BOB WILLIAMS PROBABLY IA.
TALLY WOUNDED BY "sNAP.
Ply" JACKSON IN DOWNTOWN
SALOON.

As a result of an accidental shoot
ing scrape that occurred yesterday
afternoon at 1890 O'Clock in the rear
room OF f. c. Bells saloon on lower
Commercial avenue. Bob Williams, a
negro employed by Stoltz & Walter,
was perhaps fatally wounded by
"Snappy" Jackson, negro EN-.
ployed by DR.. w. c. Clarke.
Jackson had driven down to the
Union station to meet Dr. Clarke who
was coming in on the Iron Mountain
train from hunting trip to Arkansas.
While waiting. he went TO Bells ga.
loon. and there met Bob Williams.
He asked Williams to "set EN- up"
Mt he refused, saying he nad no mo-
ney. Snappy asked the bartender for
nis gun, and il was handed to him.
In a joking way he told the crowd
that he would make Williams "set EN-
up to the whole bunch. He pointed
the gun at Williams and was joking
with him, when the gun was accident
ally discharged, the bullet striking
Williams in the left side, going clear
through his body, piercing his abdo
men and entering his right arm.
Snappy became frightened at the
serious consequence of his careless
ness in handling the gun and skipped
cut. The police have not yet been
able TO locate him.
The wounded negro was taken to
st. Mary's Infirmary, where Drs.
Clarke and Dickerson performed an
operation upon him and dressed the
wound.
Williams chances of recovery are
very slim and II is not thought he
can survive long. He Is implicated In
the killing of a negro driver named
Blackman at the stone depot few
months ago The case was continued
until the February term Of court, and
Williams viii probably never live TO
stand trial for this crime,
