 The New Milford fair was not f. nancial success, this year. The receipts were insufficient to pay the bills, to say nothing of paying the premiums. A committee of the directors has been appointed to sell the grounds after the question has been laid before the stock holders. The attendance the second day of the fair was large, but the two other days there was but mere hand ful of people on the grounds. THE GREAT VICTORIA FALLS.
 South rica-that Dark Conti- nent"- we knew as "The Great Unknown only few short years ago, is no longer the land of mystery that it was only few decades ago. Since the intrepid Dr David Livingstone sacrificed his life in exploiting this continent of amazing resources since James Gordon Bennett's memorable and laconic Find Livingstone" (ad- dressed to Henry M. Stanley), South Africa has been the exposure of the world powers. To discover the most magnificent and overlapping scene on the face of the earth-The Great Falls of the Zambesi- was fitting reward for the heroism and self-sac- rifce of the great Livingstone. And that one achievement, aside from all others, might well have made him feel content to lay down his life. Since the great discovery, the world has heard only at intervals of this sublime spectacle. It has still been so inac- cessible that writers and even lecturers of travel have hesitated to plunge into the vast, strange continent and there fore the public knows only in a dim, vague way of the most beautiful gem of the worlds scenery. Defying all the hardships, risks and dangers that kept others back, Lyman H. Howe has finally secured the first comprehensive reproduction of the Great Victoria Falls of the Zambesi. For the first time, all the splendor of the original Natures Masterpieces" will be shown in Howe's Moving Pictures at Town hall on Octo- Der 15. This feature of Mir Howe's new program reveals the gigantic gorges, foaming torrents, wonderful atmospheric effects, and clouds of water above and below the fall. Other pict- ures of nature's marvels have lived for short day, but of this the eye can never grow weary. The charm and harmony of the whole, the beauty of the setting, is inetfably enhanced by the rich coloring of full, warm Afri- can sunset, while the brilliance of the scenes at dawn and by moonlight can never be forgotten.

OFFICIAL DENIES REPORT
NO TRACTION FEIGHT DEPOT
SAYS HE.
Declares That it Would be Too Expcn
siye to Use Schneider Stand
for the Purpose.

Interurban officials in this city
state that the rumor which has had
it that the companies intended TO pur-
chase the old Schneider carriage fac
tory at the corner of Fit. Wayne ayen-
ne and d streets, for use as an inter
urban freight station is incorrect in
that the interurbans cannot afford to
go to so much expense, which would
be occasioned by the building of con-
Meeting lines and equipping the sta
ton in first class order.
In speaking of the rumor yesterday
a local interurban man said: There is
nothing in it at all. In the first place, l
suppose we would have to take out a
franchise, as Fit. Wayne avenue, along
with North A and North Tenth
streets, are ones whereon the inter
urbans or street car lines are not al
lowed to operate. 1t would take $780,
900 to arrange for station at the
point in question, and would take the
interurbans 10000 years before they
could begin to realize off their invest
ment No, the interurbanS will never
build a freight station at that point,
and I have my doubts whether or not
any station will be erected in Rich
mond. The interurban freight bust
ness does not pay, and the quicker
the traction lines get out of the hab-
it the better

Increase in Number of Vet
Grams Who Died in the
Past Six Months.

The report of the Indiana Depart
ment, Grand Army of the Republic,
for the six months ending December
81, 1906, which has just been COM
pleted and forwarded to Commander
in Chief Robert Brown at GAINESVILLE.
Ohio, shows that death made more in
roads in the ranks of the veterans
during that period than during the
six months ending June 80. During
the last six months of the year 269
Grand Army men died throughout the
State. This is an increase of thirty
nine over the preceding six months.
The report shows that one new
post was organized during the six
months. This was at Bunker Hill.
During the period 1872 new members
were added, which makes a total of
14S04 members in the State at the
present time.
Forty-three members were honora-
bly, discharged, forty-nine were trans
ferred to posts in other States and
42S were suspended Seven posts
surrendered their charters. With the
one new post gained, this leaves a net
loss of six posts and 7S9 members.
Taking the number of members gain
ed from the number lost the net loss
for the six months was in the neigh
borhood of one hundred members.
The figures show that there are 3S5
posts with 14,015 members yet in
good standing, while there are S26
members yet on the suspended list.
Eighty-nine members were dropped
during the period, $435.60 was ex-
pended for charity, ninety-six families
were relieved and sixty-two persons,
not members of the G. A. r. were
added.
The finance report shows that the
total receipts for the period includ
ing the balance June so, 1906, were
2,730.69 and that the total dis
bursements were $10,46015. The bal
ance, December 81 was $62,27054.
The relief fund shows a balance of
81, 537 O2.
According to the report the present
total value of the property owned by
the G. A. r. in Indiana is Sill, 61S.41. |

Library Commission, is already max
lng arrangements for the commits
eion's summer school for librarians to
be held at Winona Lake, July to
Aug. H. In announcing the sixth
course for the school this year Mr..
Hadley said that he believes that the
school, from present indications, will
be one of the most successful that the
commission has ever held.
1.-The school is intended to meet the
need of such librarians" said Mr..
Hadley, "as are actually in library po-
sitions or under definite appointment,
who desire to better serve their COM
munities by acquiring some know
ledge of modern library methods. On
" those men and women are admitted
to the school who have had a four
years high school course or its equiv
alent and who are creditably filling Ii
brary positions or are under definite
appointment to them. No application
for admission to the school will be re-
ceiyed after June 10. The school will
open at o'clock Monday afternoon,
July s, in the Mount Memorial Build

An excellent corps OF instructors
has been obtained for the school this
season. The list includes Chalmers

err of the Public Library Commission
of Indiana, director; Miss Merica
Hoagland, director of Winona Tech
nical Institute Library School, dean;
Miss Anna n. Phelps, head instructor
of Library School of the Winona Tech

back Mr.. Kline, of the Central Union.
stated that the Light, Heat & Power
Company had been guilty for some
time past of Jumping poles belong
ing to the city and the Central Union
and that they had been warned to
put stop to this practice but the
warning had been of no avail. These
exchanges of complaints were made
in language which, it is stated, was
somewhat warm.
Made Two Agreements.
At the meeting the somewhat re-
markable fact was developed, that
when Joseph Zeller was president of
the municipal lighting plant commits
sion he had entered into a joint pole
agreement with the Light, Heat &
Power Company, the city's competi-
tor, and when president of the old
Board of Public Works, he had entered
into similar agreement with the
Central Union Telephone Company.
Consequently the city of late has been
much embarrassed By the new three
cornered agreement it is thought that
all diScord will be eliminated The
agreement also means that there will
be between two and three hundred
poles removed from various parts of
the city.

PLANS OF HOME PHONE co
Move Decided on to Improve the Ser
vice Under Automatic System
Work on Connecting the conduits is
Nearly Done.

In order that the Home Telephone
Company may better serve its pat.
rons IN the northern, western and ex-
IRENE eastern portions of the city,
that company will erect three SUBJ
stations in the city which will be fit
ted with complete automatic switch
board apparatus. The houses will be
located west of the river. north of
the railroad. and on North Nineteenth
street. Each station will be erected
for the accommodation of three hun
dred patrons.
A large amount of cable will be so
laid that the systems may be enlarg-
ed at any time in case occasion de-
mands. The step is taken by the
Home company that the residents of
the outlying districts of the city may
have both prompt and efficient SER
vice. The sub-stations also lessen the
load on the main office, which will
be complete with the automatic equip
ment in the course of the next few
weeks.
Connections Are Made.
The work of making the connec-
tons of the conduits at North Ninth
and D streets was completed yester-
day, while the remaining FIVE hun
dred and thirty-fve feet OF cable
which had to be strung on South
Eleventh street, was placed success
fully yesterday. In view of the
fact that the cable was so long and
257 inches in diameter, which is con-
sidered very large by telephone men,
there was some doubt whether the
feat could be accomplished, but all
went well and the underground work
is completed with the exception of
the connections with the three sub
stations.
