(oundIitss (Iana for County fair.

Considerable interest has been
shown recently, by our citizens, in
the proposition to organize a county
fair association and hold fair here
in connection with the annual race
meeting. We are glad to see the pro-
gressive spirit of our citizens in this
matter and hope that the agitation
may bear fruit.
1t would be an easy matter to reor-
ganize the Racing Association SO as
to enlarge its powers and it would
not be difficult to float the increase
in stock. We believe every business
man in town and many we'll fixed
ranchers would subscribe for shares.
AS to the success of the venture
there would be no question. Th'
popularity of our annual race meet

people to carry through an undertak

BETTER THAN GOLD
Mrs. Lucinda eanson, Of Davenport,
Refuses to Change Her Faith For
the Sake Of $4,000 Lesacy-An
Old Friends Peculiar Will.

Davenport, June 22.-That she has
refused a legacy of 100000 left her on
condition that she become a Catholic,
lis the assertion of Mrs. Lucinda Gam
son of Davenport.
Mrs. Ganson formerly kept a board
ing house at 2O9 East Ninth street in
this city until the death OF her daugn-
ter, when she went to Sacramento,
Cal. where she has been until recent
ly.
AT Sacramento Charles Simpson
died recently and Mrs. Ganson has
received word that he left her 900
in his will, on condition that she be-
comes a Catholic. In the event or her
refusal of the money ON this condition
it was to go to Catholic orpnanage
in Sacramento. Mr.. Simpson, she says,
is not a relative, but was an old friend
of the family.
"Thirty thousand dollars is an i'm
mense sum to refuse" said Mrs. Can
son Yesterday. "But ! cannot think of
changing my religion for any amount
of money. 1 don't feel that l could be
faithful to the Catholic church, altho
l have nothing against it. MY daugh-
ter was educated at the immaculate
Conception academy in Davenport and
loved the sisters dearly. but am Il
Christian Scientist and would not
give up my belief for any other. I
shall let the legacy go to the orphans
and not peril my own salvation by
changing my religious belief for
money"

The Earlier Reports.

Mentor, o., June 22.-Running at the
rate of fifty or sixty miles an hour, the
Twentieth Century limited train from
Chicago, on the Lake Shore railroad,
dashed into an open switch at the pas
senger station at this place shortly
before 10 o'clock last night and was
wrecked At least eight or ten per-
sons were killed and twelve or fifteen
badly injured. The combination bag
gage and smoking buffet car and the
coach behind it caught fire and were
destroyed.
The train was east bound, having left
Cleveland about 9 o'clock. and as it did
not stop here it was running at great
speed. The engineer did not notice
the open switch until the train struck
it.
The engine left the rails and plowed
into the ground, tearing. up the track
for yards The two coaches following
1t. jammed into the engine with great

force and were crushed, the fire from
the engine setting them on fire. Most
of the occupants Of the two coaches
were rescued before the fire reached
them.
Among the killed is the engineer, the
other dead being passengers who were
in the smoking car.
John r. Bennett, lawyer of New
York, was removed dead from wreck.
Charles Wellman of Cleveland, is said
to be fatally scalded. The fireman
was so badly hurt that he will die.
The wrecked train was on the new
eighteen n-hour schedule between Chi
cago and New York. 1t left Chicago at
o'clock in the afternoon and it is sup
posed many Chicagoans were on board.
The officials have not yet determined
who is to blame for the accident, but
it is believed the switch was left open
by "a freight crew whose train had oc-
cupied the siding q short time before
the limited came dashing along.
Among the identified dead is Allen
Tyler, engineer, of Collingwood, o.
