June.
Poems are like paintings; some close BY
Some at a distance most delight the eye.
Horace.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.
And what is so rare as n day in June?
Then. if ever, come perfect days;
Then heaven tries the earth IL 1t be in
tune,
And over 1t softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see 1t glisten;
Every clod feels stir of might,
An instinct within 1t that reaches and
towers,
And cropping blindly above 1T for light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers;
The flush of life may we'll be seen
Thrilling back over hill and valleys,
The cowslip startles In meadows green.
The buttercup catches the sun In Its
chalice
And there's never leaf nor blade too
mean
To be some happy creatures palace;
The little bird sits at his door IN the
sun, 6I
Atilt like blossom among the leaves,
And lets his illumincd being o'errun
With the delugo of summer it receives;
His mate feels the eggs beneath her wings
And the heart in her dumb breast flutters
and sings,
He sings to the wide world and she to her
nest
In the nice eur OF nature. which song is
the best?

COUNTY FAIR IS DESTROYED
DIE ASTROUS FIRE OCCURS AT
BUCYRUs, o.
Flames Wipe Out Entire Exhibition
Hundreds Of People Are
Injured.

Bucyrus, O., Oct. 16.-Flames swept
the crowded grandstand at the county
fair Saturday afternoon while the races
were on. In the panic which followed
600 persons were injured. Several acres
of exhibits were destroyed. The prop
erty loss will run into the tens of thou
sands. The fire was caused by the ex-
plosion of a gasoline stove under the
stand. The thousands Of spectators,
whose interest. was held by the happen
ings on the track, were unconscious Of
their peril until the flames were licking
up the flimsy flooring at their feet. In
the rush which ensued the one exit was
blocked and the mass of humanity i'm
prisoned in the blazing building. Hun
dreds leaped to the track. Is feet below.
Men, women and children fell over each
other and the ground in front of the
judges stand soon was a struggling vor-
tex of panic stricken persons. Scores
were bruised by the fall and other scores
were burned badly before leaving the
structure.
The grand stand fell with a crash
within seven minutes after the fire was
discovered. AS far as known, all had
escaped by that time. In less than half
an hour the entire fair practically was
wiped out. The buildings burned like
tinder Most Of the exhibits were
ruined, and those in the structures un-
touched by flames were damaged by be-
ing torn ruthlessly from their places.
Two exhibit halls were a complete loss.
The buildings were insured, but the loss
on exhibits was total.

FIVE ARE KILLED
IN TRAIN WRECK
COW ON TRACK CAUSES DISAS-
TER IN IOWA.
HEAVY TRAIN IS DITCHED
Two Engineers, Two Firemen and a
Brakeman Lose Their Lives
Cars Smashed to Pieces
and Burned.

Oskaloosa, Ia, Oct. 16.-Five trainmen
were killed Sunday at Seaton, ILL.,, when
a heavy, double-header freight train,
east-bound, on the Iowa Central rail-
road ran into cow on the track at a
speed of 20 miles an hour. Both locomo-
tives and II freight cars loaded with
grain and lumber were piled in heap
beside the track. The dead are: George
A. Caffal, engineer; Harry Summers,
engineer; Harry Barr, fireman, l.. H.
Briley, fireman; P. T. Morgan, brake
man. All the men killed lived in Oska-
loosa except Briley, whose home was in
Monmouth, Ill. Brakeman Morgan was
driven into the earth beneath the end of
box car Fireman Briley was found
dead, but apparently unwounded beside
the tangled steel of the locomotives.
Engineer Summers was caught in the
cab Of his locomotive and cooked by
steam and water from the boiler. He
lived several hours although large
pieces of cooked flesh fell from the bone.
r.. Train Strikes Cow.
A cow was lying on the ties between
the rails. She was hidden from view by
other cattle standing about. At the
sound of the whistle of the approaching
train the standing cattle scampered
away, but the forward locomotive struck
the lying cow. The animal was crushed
under the wheels of the pilot truck and
rolled along the ties for hundred feet.
The animals blood made the rails slip
perry and pieces of bone threw the front
locomotive from the track. The de-
rallied locomotive pitched down an en-
bankment, drawing the second locomo-
tive into the ditch, where the two ma
chimes piled up, crushing the engineers
and the f1remen. Car after car crushed
itself on the hot mass of metal and the
wreckage caught fire from the live Goals
of the locomotive fire boxes. The con-
ductor and rear brakeman, with persons
who lived near the wreck, hastily took
the mangled bodies of the trainmen from
the burning debris and saved the rest Of
the train from the flames.
