orable action on the proposition to

We're appointed and other preliminary
business was transacted, the most not
able of which was the action taken
for the purpose of holding a joint COM
m1ttee meeting of the committee on
permanent arrangements with the ex-
ecutive committee of the Retail Mer-
chants association, to be held in the
near future to determine whether to
hold one days celebration or three.

One Day or Three.
The matter that brought on the
most lively discussion last evening was
whether or not the celebration should
be one days celebration or extend
over period Of three days. There was
much said on both sides of the ques
ton. Part Of the committee favored
one days celebration on the Fourth
and others held that In order to bene
fit the local merchants 1t would be nee
essary to extend the celebration sew.

the stores are closed on the Fourth
and the retailers could do but very lit

somewhat chary of advancing funds
for the support Of the proposition.
1t was also advanced that 1t would
be good idea to hold one days

Something ExcentionAl

hold a street fair to extend over per-
tcd Of several days
Something Exceptional.
It was the concensus of opinion that
whatever else the celebration should
be it must be something exceptional,
something that is SO now and startling
that it will bring people from large
radius to the city to witness some
thing which they may have but one OPP
portunity of witnessing in lifetime.
All agreed that something of this ma
ture would be given but no action was
taken as to what the nature of the spe-
cial feature would be. This will prob
ably be left to the committee on ar
rangements.
Very little can be done by any of the
committees until the matter of the
length of the celebration has been set
tied. After that the various commit
tees will get busy and frame up the
details Of the event
A Locomotive Collision.
The giving of an airship exhibition
mentioned among the best drawing
up again by the committee after it has
been decided what length the celebra-
ton will be. It is likely that one or
the other or perhaps both will be pull
ed off
M. A. Connolly, who is we'll known
in the city made proposition to the
committee to pull off either or both
Of the above mentioned features and
also made proposition to furnish So
900 If the committee will raise $4,000,
all to be put in the general fund for
holding the celebration and he and the
city to share-alike on whatever profits
accrue from the celebration.
A Novel Sight.
| If the locomotive collision is pulled
off, one of the most unique sights ever
witnessed will be seen here. The event
is one that has been pulled of success
fully a number of times in various
parts of the country and has never
failed to bring thousands upon thou
sands of people from the surrounding
country for distance of hundreds OF
| miles around the place where the
1 event is held.
A regular railroad track is laid in a
large open space and two railway loco
motives, with number of cars attach.
ed perhaps, are started from opposite
ends of the track and allowed to come
together at full speed, giving all the
thrilling scenes Of a modern railway
wreck without the attendant loss OF
life and injury to large number OF
persons. The sight Is at once grand
and interesting. No one can realize
the feeling that one experiences at see
ing two of these iron monsters come
together at full speed, grinding and
crashing each other into scrap iron
! and bits of wreckage.
