Statistics Show Long List of Accidents
for Season Just Closed.
County fair accident statistics gath
cred by the Chicago Tribune for the sea-
son just closed point to the driving of
trotting horses by amateurs as the most
common cause of injuries. The most
dangerous injuries are received by aerial
performers. For children attending fairs
the danger is in riding on merry-go-
rounds and in standing close to the run
ming track.
Taking the States of Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, the Trib-
une asked $50 county seats for informa-
ton as y accidents to performers and
spectators at county fairs and street car
nivals. Fifty-ive counties reported a
total of seventy persons injured, the re-
naming 395 counties reporting no acct
dents. OF the injured forty-fve were
performers, professionals or amateurs,
and twenty-five were spectators. The in
juries range from broken ribs and legs
to bruises. OF the forty-five perform
ers injured, twenty-six were hurt by the
collision of sulkies in driving races and
in being thrown from running horses.
The most serious accident to a driver
took place at Atlanta, ILL.,. where Ed
ward Stubblefeld, president of the Lo-
gan County Fair Association, was
thrown from his seat in collision with
a sullzy, and for a time was near death.
''The slide for life" a feat in which
the performer slides down a wire from
the top Of the court house dome or other

''leaping the gap and looping the loop"
claimed FIVE victims.
Five of six aeronauts injured have
faulty parachutes or bad luck in landing
to blame for their Injuries, ranging from
a crushed shoulder to a sprained ankle.
One woman dressed in red tights landed

top.
The crush of vehicles at the gates to
fair Enclosures and the frightening Of
farmers horses by the noise and unusual
sights at the grounds were responsible
for the overturning of buggies and wag-
ons and the resulting injury Of six per-
sons.

SEWING MACHINE COMBINE.
Absorption of Wheeler 81 Wilson by
Singer COrnorntion.

Singer Corporation.
by the absorption of the Wheeler and
Wilson Sewing Machine Company, the
Singer Machine Company has removed
its principal competitor from the field.
The effect will be to form a trust OF
large proportions The fear of an add
vance in prices is not based on any state
ment that can be secured from the gem
eraI officers of the company. All the
Wheeler ~ Wilson plants and several
hundred agencies in various parts of the
united States are acquired by the Sin
ger company. 1t is said the deal involv'
ed several million dollars. '"The trans
actlOn Is 4 merger for the purpose OF dis
posing of the manufactured product OF
the Wheeler 81 Wilson Company" was
the way Marshall NJ Tatro, general
agent OF the Singer company, explained
1t. 1T is the intention to keep the
plants separate. The Wheeler & Wilson
machines will continue on the market.
The principal plants of the Singer COM
pany are at Elizabeth, n. j., and South
Bend, Ind, and each of them covers
around forty-6ve acres. There are other
plants at St Johns, Canada; Cairo, H.,
and several in England. The output
amounts to several million machines
year.

naval increase program. The Secre-
tary now has the subject under consid-
Grafton. 1t is understood the general
board has recommended the construc-
ton of battleships of greater tonnage
than any yet projected for the Ameri-
can navy. One of the principal objects
aimed at by the advocates of bigger
battleships is the installation of rela-
lively more of the largest sized guns
carried by American men-of-war. The
mounting of an increased number of
the largest-siZed guns, it is said, would
mean the doing away with those of
smaller caliber in the main battery,
which would give greater uniformity
in the size of guns of the main bat
terry.

BIG LAND FRAUDS UNCOVERED.

Made Out in st. Louis.

Detectives employed by a Seattle,
Wash, real estate association have dis
covered thirty-two fraudulent instru-
ments whereby, it is claimed, innocent
purchasers in various parts of the coun-
try have been swinded by investments in
realty in Washington, and nine of these,
the detectives declare, were made out
and attested in St Louis. Mrs. Mary B.
Belt, notary, stated that her records
show that on May 26, 1904, she ac
knowledged four deeds for property in
Washington for a Washington man, and
other deeds on later dates. She now
believes her signature and seal were
forged to bogus deeds. Miss Lulu r.
Colvin, another notary, stated she had
record of one deed having been ac-
knowledged by her for the same Wash
ington man. She likewise believes her
seal and signature have been forged for
use in the alleged land frauds, which ag-
gregate $1.000,0O0.

In a report just issued the Depart
ment of Agriculture says the red
spider, or rust mite, has been prevo-
lent in some sections of the cotton
growing area of this country during
the last two years. The spider is a
minute yellowish-red mite which feeds
on the cotton plant, principally on the
under sides of the leaves but at times
attacks all parts of the plant. The re-
port says the pest is probably distrib-
uted throughout the cotton area of the
South, although its occurrence in in
furious numbers had not been reported
before the summer of 1903, when it
caused considerable damage in South
Carolina and Georgia.

Tor future additions to iron and steel
production, while construction work IS
steadily augmented and building per-

Freight movements continue on an
unprecedented scale, and distributiye

sale departments were stimulated TO
further activity by another influx of
visiting buyers, transactions reaching
a gratifying total in staple wares.
Country stocks of merchandise have

Good bookings also were made in
holiday lines, footwear and textiles.
Shipping rooms have been forced to
extra effort in forwarding to both local
and interior points. Retail trade is of
increasing proportions, and indications
generally favor encoura ging opinions
of the approaching holiday traffic.

that car congestion in widely separ-
