coxEYs ARMY IN PALACE CARS.
General Says His New Soldiers VIII
Travel in Style.

Pittsburg, Penn.-General Coxey,
of Coxey's army fame, is to raise a
new army. Unlike his first battalions,
the soldiers he will now recruit will
not march acros country to the capt.
tai, but will ride in'Pullman cars and
enjoy the best the land affords. The
general does not make plain just
where he is to get the munitions for
this warfare, but says they will be
forthcoming.
The object of the new crusade will
be the conversion of the people to the
doctrines Of municipal and state own
ership of public utilities, and in argu-
ments for this campaign the recruits
will be schooled. A call will be sent
out at once for enlistments, which will
not be confined to the hobo class. Con-
tributions to the treasury will also be
solicited.

SHOT BY MISTAKE
TERRITORY OFFICERS THOUGHT
MINISTER WAS BooTLEGGER.
BALL PASSED THROUGH HEART
When Ordered to Halt the Preacher
Whipped His Team into
a Run.

Tulsa, Ind. Ter.-Mistaken in the
dark for a '~bootlegger," Sylvester
Morris, aged IA, a wealthy retired
Methodist minister, was shot and
killed at the corner of North Second
and Cincinnati avenue late Thursday
night by Deputy United States Mar
shall c. R. Wilson.
The old man was driving a two
horse wagon and was on his way home
from his farm north Of the city. Off.
Ger Wilson, in company with another
deputy, had arrested three bootIeggers
in that n%eighborhood an hour before
and were on q lookout for other vio-
lators of the law when the old man
came driving by.
He was halted by the officers, who
ordered him TO give up in the name Of
the government. Instead of obeying,
Morris whipped up his horses into a
run. The officers say they then fired
three shots in the air to scare the old
man, but seeing he was not going to
stop, Wilson shot twice to kill, both
shots taking effect.
One ball passed through the heart,
causing instant death. The team
dashed for home, and neighbors who
had heard the shooting came out to in
vestigate the cause, and found the
dead body in the wagon.
When Officer Wilson learned of his
mistake he surrendered to the police
and was given over to the custody of
Deputy Marshal Sam Cones.

NEWS MISSOURI
The State Fair.

Sedalia-"When the last legislature
provided by appropriation for the
erection Of three new fireproof stock
barns, to hold $50 animals, we thought
we could house all live stock exhibits
at u next fair" said Secretary ]. r.
Rippey, of the Missouri State Fair,
but it looks now like we will have an
other overflow" and as he talked he
opened letters containing live stock
entries from Illinois. Michigan, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, and more than q
dozen points in Missouri, among them
being quite a good many ~wellknown
former exhibitors here and not a few
new ones.
Missouri is particularly fortunate in
the dates selected for her state fair
this year, October 5-11, being next
after Illinois and just preceding the
American Royal at Kansas City, thus
avoiding a conflict of dates with any
other prominent western show, and,
being in the "homestretch" of the
great live stock show circuit, will get
the cream of the prize winners from
the other big fairs.
With the three new stock barns now
being erected, Missouri state fair will
have eight massive brick and steel
cattle and horse barns, modern and
fireproof, that will house 1900 ami
mails, besides the IL speed horse
barns, a sheep and swine pavilion that
will contain 1,400 animals, and a poul-
try palace with room for 5000 birds.
A mile of model rock highway is being
constructed on the main boulevard I'M
der United States government super
vision, to cost $4,000, and an addi-
tional 5000 is being expended on new
concrete walks and macadam drive
ways. Cash premiums a~ggregating
$4,000 will be awarded on exhibits.
Last year, for the first time here,
the fair board provided special enter
tainment features-high class vaude-
vile, relay races and automobile CON
tests-and we're so we'll pleased with
the result that they have arranged for
the same on a more extensive scale
this year, including one of the big air
ships, prize drills by uniformed frater-
nal drill teams, music by a noted band
and the other down-to-date features
that please and entertain large
crowds.
The special classes provided for
Missouri sheep, with liberal prizes,
will attract the largest sheep display
eve seen here, and largely increased
prizes for light harness and saddle
horses are bringing entries that in
sure an unsurpassed horse show.
The annual meeting of the Missouri
Sheep Breeders association will be
held at the state fair on governors
day, October 9.
