The first damage suit against the
Indianapolis Terminal and Traction
company growing out of the serious
accident which occurred to the excur-
sion cars of the delegates to the last
convention of the Royal Neighbors in
which a score of ladies were serious
ly injured, has been filed in the federal
court here. That many other suits
will now follow is regarded as almost
certain. The plaintiff is Margaret ].
Billion of Sioux Falls, s. d. She was
standing on the rear platform of one
of the cars, which was so crowded
that she could not get inside, and was
seriously injured, she claims. Her re-
quest is for $4,000 to repay her for
what she has suffered and must under
go in the future AS she is only one
of a score of ladies who were hurt, it
is expected that other suits may be
filed.

The leaders of both political parties
are making arrangements for large
crowds to go from here to attend the
national conventions of the parties.
AS both conventions are to be held in
cities which are comparatively close
at hand, it is expected that thousands
of people will attend from Marion
county and this vicinity The Indiana
Democratic club has taken the initia-
tive by deciding to charter a special
train to carry its delegation to st.
Louis. 1t is the plan to pick up dele
cations along the line SO that the train
will be in way an Indiana special.
AS yet no arrangements have been
made by the Republicans, but that a
crowd of over 1000 will go to Chicago
is a foregone conclusion. Both the
Marion club and the Columbia club
will arrange for parties to take in the
convention. Harry S. New has al
ready made reservations of rooms for
the Indiana delegates, and it is the in
tention to pick out one of the hotels
for the Indiana headquarters.

Nal. Steele Now Talked of AS candI-

date TOR convention F1CnCFS.
indianapolis. Jan. 25.-Friends of
Major George w. Steele, who talked
with him while he was in the city to
attend the recent meeting of the Re-
publican Editorial association, receiv-
ed the impression that his entrance
into the gubernatorial race on the Re-
publican side is not out of the ques-
ton. Now that G. A. H. Shideler, the
majors friend and townsman, has
withdrawn from the race, the field is
open to the Marion ex-congressman.
1t is known that the major has receiv-
ed a great deal of encouragement
from all parts of the state. even on the
chance suggestion of his name, and
this may decide him to make a try at
the nomination The major himself
has never given any public utterance
on which the political gossips can base
their opinion that he will be candi-
date. but he has indicated that the
mention of his name was not displeas-
Ing. His close friends are inclined to
believe that the great majority of Re-
publicans have not yet made up their
minds as to the best candidate, and
they think there is an excellent
chance for man of his qualities to
get into the race even at this day and
become a leading candidate from the
start. 1t is recalled that Major Steele
is a soldier and at least one veteran
will be selected to go on the ticket.
His long and faithful service in bust
ness and public life are referred to As
another argument in his favor. Tie
major has also had experience in an
executive Office, as he was the first
governor of Oklahoma, being appoint
ed nv President Harrison. This is a
strong argument for him.

u. o. Box Rent Increase.

When Mr.. J. II. Cover became postmaster
here, succeeding Mr.. L. X. Waesche, he
found the rent for Call Boxes five cents per
quarter; later this was raised to ten cents per
quarter and on the LIST inst, 1t was again
doubled and the charge is now twenty cents
per quarter. 1t appears that there is no
statutory regulation of this matter, but that
the rate is discretionary with the Depart
ment Inspectors who visit the pos,offices
periodically. This is going it on gcomet'
rical progression basis and If persisted in
during, say the next ten years, we should be
paying something like SO 40 year per box :.
Ofcourse no one anticipates any such charge,
but it may be doubted that eighty cents Is
the limit.

We've had ours and now must pass away,
Poor doggies Little had We thought
That our dog days would be so short.
We've never drained fes bitter cup,
Death will o'ertake us while yet pup,
And lay US down beneath the sod,
A. good dog az ever rod.
We've sought for happiness 10 vain,
But found our pleasures mixed with pain,
And when our joys give way to sadness,
They say our bowling is sign OF madness
And shoot US doggies by mistake,
Because we had the stomach ache.
Wen die without fault and leave no foes,
One fierce struggle will close our earthly woes

The Great Frederick Fair.

The Fortyfourth Annual Exhibition ofthe
Frederick County Agricultural Association
will be held this year on the 18th, 10th Goth
and 21st of October. With but two weeks
off every indication points 10 the fact that
that the coming fair will be the greatest ever
held More money has been expended in
securing attractions than ever before aud up
to the present time the entries in every de.
partment are far more numerous than has
ever beeu known.
Secretary J. Roger McSherry who has per-
sonal charge of the Bench show looks for
ward to the biggest exhibit of dogs that has
ever been seen in Western Maryland. Last
year there were FIVE hundred entries, this
year he expects something like one thousand

are horses that are guaranteed to do great
work. 1t is likely that more than one new
record will be established on the Frederick
track, at least such are the expectations.
The Managers have gone far beyond the
Usual limit in the way of securing attractions
10 front of the grand stand. Daily exhibi.
tons will be given as usual by some of the
best talent in the country and In Europe.
There will be about fifteen separate and dis
tinct acts-any one of which is worth q trip
to the Fair to see. The machinery and poul
try exhibits will undoubtedly be larger this
year than usual. A fine large building Is
now in the course of erection which will be
known as headquarters" for the machinery
exhibitors In order to have every one re-
minded of the great Fair, the managers have
employed eight advertising agents and two
inspectors to post everywhere an announce
ment of the coming exhibition. In addition
to this, ten thousand catalogues and five
thousand dog show premium lists have been
mailed to we'll known people throughout the
north, south, east and west. In response to
this preliminary work the Secretary is busy
listing exhibitors in every department and
judging from what has already been received
there can be no doubt that the fair will be
larger along every line this year than at any
time in the past.

finest cattle i'll the country, and for years
