sive ever shown at fair in the state.

the business places were closed SO
that all could attend the big fair.
The exhibition of farm machinery
was one which created much favorable
comment from visitors. The ma
chinery men have done themselves and
the fair proud in the magnificent dis
play they made and the visitors were
not slow in showing their appreciation.
The exhibits in the machinery build
ing and in the area allotted to the
threshing machine and other fmple-
ment displays were thronged with in
terested spectators. Several of them
had power in use and showed their ma.
chinery in operation.
The feature of the fair that at
tracted the interest of the largest
share of the visitors, men, women and
children. together, was the live stock
department. The magnificent herds of
pure bred Shorthorns, Jerseys, Here
fords, Durhams, Polled Angus, Alder
ney and other cattle, the superbly
built standard and draft horses, and
the Shetland ponies, the sheep, goats.
poultry, swine and other exhibits, all
had their admirers, and" the attend
ants we're kept busy answering ques-
tions about their pets. The rabbits,
squirrels, pigeons. bantams and other
features of the poultry show were q
great attraction for the juveniles and
older people as we'll.

terday afternoon almost in the center
Of the city and aroused the most in
tense excitement and indignation.
Within short space of time the
assassin successfully enticed three
girl babies. the Oldest only five years,
into doorways of houses and stabbed
them several times in the abdomen
with a sharp instrument. AS result
one of the children is dead, another
dying and the third is dangerously
wounded.
All available police and detectives
were ordered out to search for the
murderer. A man was arrested on
suspicion, but the wounded children
were too weak to identify him. He
was taken in cab guarded by police
to the police station. The crowd at
tempted to take him from the vehicle
and lynch him, and he was only saved
by the police drawing their swords
and holding the crowd at bay. The
most intense excitement prevails in
the city.

Philadelphia, July 27.-The Jewish
quarter, in the southern section of the
city, was the scene of many disturb.
ances and riots yesterday, following
the efforts of Jewish women to boy.
colt kosher butchers who have in.
creased the price of meat.
All through the Ghetto there were
fierce outbreaks, in which persons
who attempted to patronize the stores
were roughly handled. In several in.
stances the stores were sacked and the
meat destroyed. The meat that Gus.
toners had purchased was taken away
from them and tossed into the streets
after coal oil or acid had been poured
over it In three shops oil was joured
over every piece of meat, the chopping
blocks and counters were overturned
and the windows in the stores were de.
molished. ..... -..
Police Beat Women.
As a result of the outbreak twenty
eight men and women were either
sent to prison or held in bail to an.
swer charges of assault, melting to
riot and other charges, and as many
more were arrested and locked up for
hearings today on minor charges.
Because most Of the disturbers were
women the police at first hesitated to
use force, but the situation became so
serious that finally they were COMPEL.
ed to use severe measures. Many men
and women were sent to the hospitals
suffering from injuries received in re-
sisting the officers.
Boost in Price Of Meat.
The women allege that retailers
have been charging IA and 16 cents q
pound for meat which last year at
this season could be bought for 10
cents and IL cents. Despite the siren.
uous efforts of the police the disorders
continued throughout the greater por.
ton of the day. More than fifty arrests
of men and women were made.

New York, July 2S.-To the series of
unpublished crimes against young girls
which of late has exasperated the po-
lice were added yesterday the cases of
Virginia Barish, seventeen years old.
and Annie Falkowoke, tot of five
years.
So notorious have become the cases
of assault. amounting in two recent
cases to murder, that Police Commits.
sioner Bingham has been driven to ex.
plain that his army Of policemen is
insufficient to cope with this particular
species of degeneracy. He has warned
fathers and mothers not to allow their
little ones to wander aimlessly in the
streets.
Victim Driven Insane.
The Barish girl has been driven in
sane by the inhuman treatment, an
inkling of which was first given to the
public Yesterday. She became sepa-
rated from party of friends at North
Beach Wednesday, and that night was
rescued by chance from the surf, in
which she, was about to drown herself.
She had been beaten black and blue
and robbed of her clothing.
Driven mad through suffering. she
fought her rescuer and only with diff
ficulty was placed in restraint. When
her mental condition became appar.
ent the girl was taken to the Kings
county hospital.
Attacked by Nine Roushs.
There. in a lucid interval, she told a
pitiful story of assault, many of the
details of which were subsequently
substantiated. Attacked by a gang Of
nine roughs. she was left in a state
that to her frenzied mind suggested
suicide. 1t is doubtful If she can re-.
cover.
Little Annie Falkowoke of Staten
Island went to meet her father and fell
In with another man. She suffered a
bestial attack and is under the care of
physician. Joseph Necwiak, a steam
ship fireman, thirty-four years old, and
whom the child accused, is under ar
rest.
One Fiend Punished.
A third case yesterday cannot be
said to be wholly unpublished. When
Dennis O'Shea of Harlem heard the
screams of his infant daughter he did
not stop to notify the police, but
promptly heat Jacob Neuman, aged
t1fty-two years, into Inconsistencies.
When he came to Neuman was seized

The amateur dramatic organization
which has been coached for the past
few months by R. c. Edwards, prepar-
ing for the presentation of the play
made famous by Sir Henry Irving, put
the play on Tuesday night in the OPP
era house, to fair sized audience.
Blessed will they be who do not ex-
pect amateurs to come up to profess
SIGNALS, for they will surely not be dis
appointed. In the nature Of things
and the economy of time they ought
not to expect too much. The young
ladies and gentlemen did very well,
fully as we'll as their friends expected
of them.
Amateur theatrical organizations are
prone to making the fatal error of try
ing to present great plays in which
nearly everyone has sometime seen
famous actors, supported by strong
company.
In the kindliest spirit it is suggested
that in the future they try something
light. In support Of this suggestion it
may be said that this is the way some
actors who afterwards became famous,

CRUSHED TO DEATH
Tons of Snow and Ice Fall
on Robert Hall
IN MILL BOILER ROOM
Snow and lee Slid Off the
Big Will

Robert Hall, who has been in the
employ of the Lamb-Davis Lumber Co.
for the past two years as pipe filter and
assistant plumber, was crushed to death
and had his neck broken last Friday
about $3.50 p. m.
He was on ladder making some
repairs to a water pipe in the boiler
room when a great mass of snow and
ice slid off the roof Of the large mill
building, dropping some twenty feet to
the roof of the boiler room crushing the
roof and burying the unfortunate man
under a mass of debris and snow. 1t
required the work of several men half
hour to dig the man out. DR.. Hoxsey
was sent for but found it impossible to
do anything. In addition to the body
being crushed the neck was broken.
The body was taken in charge by
Undertaken Forbes and prepared for
burial
Robert Hall came from Franklin,
North Carolina, where his parents re-
side. He was a sober, industrious
young man, about 80 years old. His
associates speak of him in the highest
terms, to one Of whom he said just
few days before he was killed that he
had saved over $500 since coming
here two years ago. Besides his father
and mother, he has a brother and sister
in North Carolina. Funeral services
were held yesterday in the Congrega-
tional Church and the body laid to rest
in the cemetery east of town.

w. P. Van De Grit, the contractor
for carrying the mail twice week be-
tween Leavenworth and Telma, the
post office established at Lake Wenat-
chez last summer, had quite severe
experience on his first trip this month.
He was compelled to leave his horses
at ranch and make the latter part OF
his trip on snow shoes. The trip,
which ordinarily takes one day going
and one day to return, in this instance
required eight days.
When the members of the Fraternal
Brotherhood, of which Mr.. Van De
Crit is a member, learned of his pro-
longed absence and the anxiety OF his
family, they employed man to go to
his relief with intructions not to return
until he was found. Fortunately he
was all right and making his way back
under great difficulty. Mr.. Van De
Crit says the snow in the region of the
lake is seven feet deep.

G. N. ICE HOUSE FALLS
Twelve Japs on the Roof When it
Went Down and One Has
Arm Broken

Last Tuesday about ten o'clock the
Great Northern ice house, a frame
building 30x120 feet, two stories in
height, caved in from the weight of
snow and ice on the roof.
The roof had shown indications of
giving way and a half hour previous a
gang of twelve Japs were set to work
clearing off the roof Before they had
made much Roadway it went in with a
noise that startled everybody on Front
street.
Knowing that the Japs were on the
roof it was feared that some Of them
were buried under the wreck. With
the exception of one, who had his arm
broken, they all escaped unhurt.
Station Agent Harrington was on the
platform from which the ice is trans
ferred to the cars when the crash came
and jumped to the tender of an engine
that was standing near at the time.
The building was quite old and had
very little ice stored in it. 1t is the
custom Of the company to fill it with
ice about the last of March, when one
hundred cars of ice from Montana is
stored for summer use.
For the past two years the building
of a new and larger house at different
location has been under consideration.

F. S. Jacobsen walked in from Mad
ison hot springs last Tuesday morning.
He left here for the springs two weeks
ago with a severe cold and a general
feeling of goneness and would have re-
turned a week ago but for the snow
blockade that set in on Sunday, Feb.3.
He says the trip was severe one, but
he just could not content himself with
the inaction and, not knowing when
the road would be open, he decided to
walk the distance, which is in the
neighborhood of fifty miles.
