SERIOUSLY SICK
Took Large Potion of ChIoro-
form to Ease Pain from
Severe Headache.
SENSATIONAL STORY OUT
DOCTOR LAUGHED AT SUICIDE
RUMOR AND SAID HE WANTED
TO LIVE TO HEAR FROM HA-
GERSTOWN RACES.

Sensational stories which were cir
culated yesterday on the streets with
reference to the illness of Mayor Zim-
norman, eliminated in a statement
being made by the mayor himself. di-
rect from his Office. in which he said
that he had been rendered i'll from
the effects of drugs taken in an en-
deavor to ease a severe attack of neu-
ralgia of the head on Sunday evening.
The mayor had suffered a recurrence
of neuralgia which had attacked him
frequently of late and headache pow
ders and a small quantity of NOR
phine had failed to bring the desired
relief. In the hope of inducing sleep
which might bring relief from the
pain he was suffering the Mayor fin
ally took a potion of chloroform and
was made seriously sick, lapsing into
uncOnsciousness.
The following signed statement
was made to the Palladium yester-
day:
I've taken such treatment with
cholroform six or seven times before
on account of severe headaches
which the commoner remedies will
not relieve. Whenever l take this
treatment | always call Dr.. l.. G. Bow
ers in attendance. as | did Monday.
Once before | called DR.. Bowers by
over here to attend me I generally
take chloroform for about twenty-four
hours, something which few men can
do. | haven't had any sleep for about
ten days owing to the press of busi-
ness as | make about fifty calls a day,
and as is customary this severe head
ache came upon 1ne and I sought re-
lief by this treatment. The result
which is not unusual, was that I be-
came very i'll and have not been able
to hold any food upon my stomach.
Il am not afraid TO take it and
will take it again if the same kind of
a headache visits me I have no rea-
son to commit suicide and don't
think that there is happier man
alive than /. I am making money
and have nothing in my life TO cause
me to think of taking M life
(Signed) W. W. ZIMMERMAN.
The doctor was IN and around yes
terday attending Office calls and made
one trip on an urgent call. While he
was i'll in bed Monday be was making
arrangements to enter his horse in
the Hagerstown races and said that
he certainly wanted to be alive Just

DILLON, THE DRIVER, HURT
YOUNG ANIMAL, AFTER COLLID.
ING WITH PONY CART AND
sPILLING DRIVER, STRIKES TEL
EPHONE POLE.

Cambridge City, Ind, July "a (Spl)
Silver Heels, a green trotter, with
mark of 2:14, in a trial heat, and
valued by it's owner, John Lackey, at
runaway, and Ona Dillon, who was e.
ercising the valuable animal, was Sc.
riously injured. The accident occur
red in Mt. Auburn, west of here.
Dillon had driven the horse to Dub
lin and was returning to Cambridge,
when he saw an autmobile coming
from the east, which he attempted to
avoid by turning into a side street,
but while doing so the los Limited
car from the west came up behind
him.
The horse took fright at the car and
started to run away, coming into col
lision with a small pony cart driven
by Donald Wright, and throwing Dill
Ion to the ground with great force.
The horse then ran into large tele-
phone pole, striking it with such force
as to breaksit: short at the ground.
The terrible impact with which the
horse struck the pole caused a hem
morhage, which resulted in the death
of the horse a few minutes after the
accident occurred.
Dillons injuries although serious,
are not necessarily fatal, as was first
supposed, both shoulders being dislo-
Gated, and severe bruises being sus-
tanned about the ribs and chest.
The occupants of the pony cart were
badly shaken up, but were not injured.

Under New Management An
nuaI Event Promises to Be
Better Than Ever.
RACE PROGRAM FOR TODAY
MANY OF THE BUILDINGS AT THE
GROUNDS HAVE BEEN ENLARG.
ED WHILE TRACK HAS BEEN
CAREFULLY WORKED.

The Wayne County Fair Association
yesterday at Hagerstown, under con-
dtions that were favorable in every
way, and which indicate most sue
cessful week.
AS usual, the first day did not bring
forth great crowd, though there were
thousand or more persons who pass
ed through the gates and spent the
day viewing the exhibits of blooded
hogs, cattle horses, sheep and poultry;
the displays in Floral Hall and the va
rious attractions in the side-show ad-
juncts. Perhaps never before in the
history of the Hagerstown fair have
the various departments been so well
conducted. Breeders of cattle, hogs,
horses and poultry have taken a new
interest in the fair as a result of the
liberal premiums offered and in conse-
cial mention this year.
There has been vast change in the
grounds since last year. The vari
Gus buildings have been remodeled
and in some instances considerably en-
larged; the race track has been work
ed over until it has become one of the
best half-mile circuits in the State and
the grounds in general appear attract
i've to the eye. The management has
taken the precaution to adequately po-
lice the grounds and good order, there
fore, is certain. Another wise pre-
caution of the management has been
to see that the various sideshow at
fractions are of the best.
The races, always a leading feature
of the fairs at HagerstOwn, will begin
today and the list of entries shows
that all events are to be well filled and
consequently hotly contested. There
will be a big crowd of people on the
grounds today and tomorrow, the So
called big day The management
anticipates an attendance of between
1000 and 5000 people. Richmond
will be we'll represented the balance of
the week. The fair will close Friday
evening. The program for today's
races, with the entries for the harness

dark and confetti was being showed
into the pretty mouths of petite miss.
es-their shell like ears were being
tickled by bunch of Plymouth Rock
feathers at the end of a maple stick
(The lights had gone out.) The Ea
giles had their lights contracted for
from the Light, Heat and Power Com
pany and all they had for a while last
night was the-contract. Every
thing was at a stand still, the shows
became lax. the "barkers" took rest
the street cars waited at the top of the
hill, and the only thing doing was the
showing of confetti in those pretty
traps afore mentioned, all because the
lights were out.

and beat it for cop" The Cop
and "Runty" pushed and showed
around through the crowd Finally
the cop" asked "By whom?" "Bv a
feather" gasped Runty and beat it on
the hot foot with the excited officer
of the law in pursuit.
The lights came on, music started
implorations from the "screechers'
were waiting the ears of the crowd
the cars lined up in front and the
people went home. Thus the carnival
ended for another night.

will be enabled to put out three times
as many pianos of this style as they
are now doing. A new dry kiln is al
so being built, making the fourth of
this kind This will also tend to-
