Mr.. Doak and The Fair.

Mr.. Doak's interest i'm fine stock
and his knowledge of everything that
partains thereto, are we'll known. and
anything he may have TO say on that
subject always deserves and receives
attention. IL seems, however, from a
careful persual of his article i'm last
weeks paper that he has some err
roneous ideas as To what the Fair
Association ought To do and can do
in order 10 display his line. This is
only county fair, after all, and ex-
hibitorS of state aud national reputa-
tion can hardly expect here what
they may get elsewhere.
The present quarters provided for
cattle were selected by gentleman
who makes speciality of breeding
cattle and the stalls were erected ac-
cording TO his plans and under his
supervision. How Mr.. Doak got the
Idea that there is not single stall

all the facilities for showing that
kind of stock that State and National
Associations can have.

and we have To,

Certainly IL Is not practicable now
To utilize the space on the inside
the ring for that purpose, for there
the people take their buggies and car
riages, and eat their lunches. Ladies'
would naturally object To the close
proximity even OF Red Cloud, al
though as "smoothe as the egg and
mellow as ripe peach" Things
get too mellow, some times.

tens for "blue ribbon" exhibitors.

and indiscriminate criticisms are of

into improvements.
While the management intends the

AZEWELL
COUNTY FAIR
Prospects Better this Year For
Good Fair Than Ever in His
tory of the Association.

tory of the Association.
The prospects for the Fair this year
are the best in the history of the AS
ISOLATION, and September 18th, l9th
and 10Th will see on our Fair grounds
the greatest aggregation OF horses
especially ever seen in the county or
any where else in the State, unless
in the large cities.
The management, this year, in
keeping with established modern Gus
toms, offered two stake races, entries
for which closed on June 1st. This in
sures first class races among the best
horses in the country. The purses are
large enough TO bring horses from a
b distance, and horses are already enter
ed in these stake races from eight
States and the entry fees paid. OF
course the owners of these horses
have other hOrses that they will
bring here for entry in the other
races. This inSureS by far the largest
number of fest horses ever seen here.
The advantage of the stake races is
that the Association had right TO
call them off, if it desired so TO do
for any reason. The number of en-
tries being so large, the amount of
money they will cost the Association
is very small compared to the size of
the purse. Race purses, all told,
amount to SO, 10000.
The other exhibitswill also show
parked improvement over previous
exhibitions. The Association is still
hampered, to some etXent, by the
lack of space, but every effort will be
made to display everything properly.
One thing is certain, the Associa-
tion will do all it can toplease every
body and give everything and every
body "fair show
The grounds have been greatly i'm
proved by the construction of a tun-
nell under the track near the en-
trance. By this means, the necessity
of driving and walking across the
track is obviated. This not only
makes it possible to keep the track
clear at all times for exhibitions and
races, but saves the people the trouble
and annoyance of driving upthe hill,
across the track and through two
gates. The public will greatly appre.
ciate this improvement.
The interest shown in the Fair /:
greater than ever, and is growing
every day. The people realize the fac
that it is a great thing forthe county
II keeps us abreast of the times anS
before the public. We have all sort
of things to sell to all sorts of people
We want to know these people an
want them TO know what we have
Besides all that, we just naturall,
like to get together and see eacl
other. And so there now seems t
be little doubt that the attendanc
this year will be record breaker.
In the wag of amusement, the Fai
this year will be unique. The Demon
est show is one of the best in tn
country and will be free. You wi
get day at the Fair and see tn
show both at the price of the ord
nary circus ticket. There will be oth'
shows where the boys (and the
papas) can spend their extra nickl'
and dimes.
Altogether, the Great Tazewe
Fair will be really GREAT tn
year.

Columbia City Warsaw and Val

The Independent wants COM
parison on the light question
with Columbia City, Warsaw
and Valparaiso. well done thou
good and faithful servant" Co
lumbia City is a municipal own
ership city and as the cost both
to city and private users in such
cities is far below private owner
ship places, it is out of
the question to compare cities of
this. kind. Warsaw Ind, pays
$4,000 per light for its arc lights
and is operating under a fran
chise similar to the one proposed
by Mr.. Snoeberger. The fiat rate
to private consumers is 40 cents
per 16 c. p. light and you may
use them at any time necessary
day or night The meter rate is
from : to 10 cents, while the pro-
posed Plymouth rate is 10c. Val
paraiso pays $67.33 on the moon
light schedule, but the plant to-
gether with the gas plant is own
ed and controlled by Mr.. Geist,
the owner of the Plymouth Gas
company and it is just such a
combination the citizens of Ply
mouth are fighting hard to pre-
went.

Message on Each Side of New
Postal Cards.

A new departure in postal
cards was decided upon Friday
by the Postoffice Department.
Beginning Aug. l the consumer
will get more for his penny than
heretofore. The front side, for
years reserved by an memorable
rule for the address, will be in
vaded by advertisements, pict-
ures and messages.
Postmaster General Meyer
promulgated an order to this eff
feet Friday. A vertical line will
be placed about one-third of the
distance from the left end of the
card. The space to the right of
this line will be reserved for the
address, and the remaining por-
ton of the front side may be de-
voted to details of how all the
children are, or any other of the
things that heretofore have been
confined to the back side.
A very thin sheet of paper may
be attached, if it completely adj
heres to the card and such a past
err may bear both writing and
printing Heretofore 2 cents in
postage was required if this was
done. Advertisements, illustra-
tons or writing may appear on
the back of the card and on the
left third of the front.
Postal cards bearing particles
of glass, metal, mica, sand, tin
sci, or other such substances are
declared to be unavailable, except
when inclosed in envelopes or
when treated in such manner
as will prevent the Objectionable
materials from being rubbed off
or injuring the hands of persons
handling the mails.

Killed at Iapaz.

Edward Manning was killed at
6: 10 p. m. Saturday a short dis
lance east of the Baltimore &
Ohio station in LaPaz. He and
Adam Mummey, son of McClen-
nan Mummey, were walking
from the junction TO Lapaz on
the main track of the B. &. O.
Seeing fast freight train COM
ing from the east, they stepped
onto the side track. East of them
a short distance on the side track
were standing caboose and sew
eral cars; at the west end of the
same side track were the engine
and number of cars. This was
the local freight.
While they were on the side
track they were watching a per-
son who was intending to jump
off the fast freight at the station.
While standing and watching.
the engine on the side track
moved the several cars east. This
twas not noticed by Mr.. Manning
and Adam Mummey, or it was
seen too late. The car struck
Mr.. Manning death blow. As
near as can be learned, he was
standing in the center of the
track. His body was terribly
mangled. The car struck the
boy, who received bruises from
head to foot. No bones were
broken and he will recover.
Mr.. Manning was born in No
bic county. Ind, May Is, 1913.
He married Mrs. Mercy Mum
mey, the grandmother of Adam
Mummey, April 10, 1880. The
funeral services were held from
the home of William Bessler and
the Wesleyan church at Lapaz,
Sunday at 2 p. m. Rev. NJ. l..
Peter officiating. The remains
were placed in the Paramount
cemetery.

Mans Inhumanity to Man.

The official board of the Meth
odist church met Monday even
ing to consider the salary that
shall be paid the preacher next
year. DR.. c. A. Brown presided
and DR.. Martin acted as secre-
tary.
To get the matter before the
board for discussion, Mr.. Metsker
moved that committee, consist
ing of Messrs. Matthew, Parks
and Boys, be appointed to inves-
tigate and seek to secure cap
able minister for Plymouth at a
salary of $1,000 per year.-Inde-
pendent.
This certainly is a gross insult
to the Rev. J. S. Crowder present
pastor of the M. f. church. Mr.
Crowder helped to lift Metsker
from the slums of the poker
table; allowed him to deliver a
discourse from his pulpit and in
every way tried to elevate the lit
tie editor and the above is the
thanks he got for doing so.

American Delegates In
French Plan.
Indorse

The French proposition regard
ing declarations of war and the
of hostilities> and the
amendments thereto were discus
Sed Friday by the subcommittee
to which the questions were re-
ferred. The American, British
and Japanese delegates gave the
adhesion of their governments to
the principle of the French propo,
sal, which was to the effect that
there will be declaration of war
before the opening of hostilities.
Gen. Horace Porter observed thar
while in accordance with the con-
stitution the right to declare war
belonged to Congress, he did not
see any obstacle to the adhesion
of the United States to the
French proposition.
Senior Quesada CUBA, in the
name of the Cuban delegation,
declared that as the Constitution
of Cuba enumerates among the
powers of Congress that of de-
claring war, the Cuban delegation
could not subscribe to any instru-
ment not reserving to its Con
gress the right to determine the
form and conditions of a declara-
ton of war.
Colonel Tinge (China) ex-
pressed the wish that it be deter
mined what constituted war, as
several European countries in
vaded and fought China without
admitting that they were engaged
in war.
The amendment introduced by
the Netherlands, proposing TWEEN
ty-four hours delay after dec
laration of war before the out
break of hostilities, was rejected
by 16 to II votes. There were
five abstentions from voting.
The first article of the French
proposal, that a declaration OF
war should precede the opening
lof hostilities, was then approved
by 81 to votes. Two delegates
abstained from voting.
The second article regarding
giving notice to neutral powers OF
an outbreak of war also was APP
proved, and a special commission
was appointed to draw up a dehn-
ite proposition on the subject to
be submitted to the conierence.

OBITUARY.
John Helm.

By the death of John Helm
last Monday evening, Bremen
lost one of its most highly re-
spected citizens. Mr.. Helm had
been ailing for about three
months, with what the doctors
pronounce endocarditis-an in
hammation of the lining of the
heart. Previous to that time he
had always enjoyed excellent
health; indeed he had lost no
time from his work on account
of sickness for thirty years. Dur
ing his sickness he suffered little
or no pain, and was able to walk
about the house until a day or so
before his death. He was born
on a farm near Bremen, Sept. rs,
1854, and always lived in this
township. On April 26, 1880, he
married Miss Lima Kinzie. To
them was born one son, Arthur,
who with the wife survives him.
Mr.. Helms aged mother is also
living. MIR. Helm enjoyed in the
highest degree the respect and
confidence of the people of this
community, and his untimely
death is generally deplored. He
had worked in Wright's factory
for the past % years without in
PERMISSION, and for the last %
years had been the trusted fore
man of the plant. Funeral SER
vices were held at the family res
idence Thursday afternoon, con-
ducted by Rev. d. L. Williams,
and the burial services were CON
Quoted by the Knights of Pythias
of which order he was an honor
ed and enthusiastic member. He
was also a member of the Mac
cabees. and the members of that
order joined inthe burial service.

Says Boats Shame Nation.

lnternecine strife, more serious
than anything the battleship fleet
is likely to encounter in the Pa
cific, is raging in the naval de-
partment. Further evidence of
this fact, which for some time
has been patent, came to light
Friday when the July issue of the
service publication, The Navy,
reached Washington.
The June issue of this publica-
ton arraigned in severe terms
defects in certain battleships.
The July number reiterates the
charges as to the defects and
adds Others, practically saying
that the fighting power of the
battleships of the fleet is oyer
rated, and criticizes the ''inept
and amateurish manner" in
which the proposed Pacific cruise
has been managed.
Again, The Navy scores t.:
low armor belt 1t devotes con-
siderable space to the Kearsage
and Kentucky, and declares their
thirteen inch guns could be
wrecked by projectiles from a
one FOUNDER, which could enter
the turret ports and destroy the
recoil cylinders of the great guns
1t is charged too, that the Off
GERS of these vessels, soon after
their completion, on going to Flu
rope and noting the defects of the
turret construction, built durl-
my turret shields Of wood in their
anxiety not to expose the war
ships to ridicule.

We Misstated Facts Did We?

The Independent charges the
Tribune with misstating the
facts in regard to the rate paid
by the city of Clinton, Indiana,
to the electric light company for
its street lights. The informa-
ton we gave was obtained from
the city clerk of that place and if
any misstatement of facts were
made it was unintentional. But
let's see if the Independent is
correct?
Mr.. Snoeberger's letter states
1--WE pay the city for our fran
chise 3 per cent of our gross re-
ceipts from lighting and power.
The gross receipts from this
source is very likely $4,000 or
$1,000 annually and at 3 per cent
would amount to about $20a or
about S. per light. Thus you
can readily see that the state
ment of $50 per light is correct.
In the statistical report of Indi-
ana Clinton is credited with hav-
ing all night lighting and we
have no reason to believe this is
not correct.
1t is true Clinton is located in
the coal region, and we are sur
prised at the small difference be
tween the price paid for slack at
Clinton compared with the price
paid for mine run fob. Plymouth
which we are reliably informed
the Plymouth electric light com
pany pays $1.90 per ton.
Mr.. Metsker was very careful
not to publish the rate charged
at Clinton for private lighting
Mr.. Snoeberger's letter says
1--WE enclose herewith a list of our
meter rates" but he fails to pub
lish it. Cause why?
