IN GOOD CONDITION
Track al HagerstoWn Ready
For the Big County
Fair Races.
IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED.

Hagerstown, Ind, July S.-The
excellent condition and when the fair
opens, July IS, it will be found in the
fastest condition. Thousands of dol
lars have been spent on this track and
great deal of work during twenty
years. This year the most important
addition has been made to it in the
way Of a drain, wide and deep, which
circles the inside of the track at the
back stretch where it was always
longest in drying after a rain. It is
found that the drain and the numer-
Gus subtilings which have been put
IN under the track, causes it to dry
quickly even after very heavy rains.
There is no doubt that racing can be
done during almost any kind of
weather this year. The surface and
grading of the track have rendered it
smooth and firm with just the proper
angle at curves. There are a number
of horse men here now with import
ant strings of stepperS. Others will
come from New York, Louisville, Lex
number will be here. from Indiana and
nearby states, Illinois, Michigan and
Ohio. The dates are the last four
days this month. T. S. Walker is the
secretary and he invites questions of
any kind concerning the fair.
The Haserstown Fair points with
pride to it's long and honorable his
tory and promises to Guido every pre-
vious exhibition in this present effort.
On July 2S, 30, 80 and 81 the nine
teenth annual meeting will be held
at the same grounds where the first
and every succeeding Fair has been
held. Large. shady grounds with an
abundance of pure spring water, fresh
blue grass sod and a multitude of
great oak and hickory trees are the
natural features found there. The
track is as nearly perfect as any race
track can be that is not counted as
one of the great racing courses.

Argument on the quo warranto pro-
the Terre Haute, indianapolis and
Eastern Traction company, was heard
cult court today. The defendant
company was represented by Ferdi-
nand Winter. chief counsel, and the
state by Wilfred Jessup, prosecuting
attorney of the Seventeenth Judicial
district of Indiana. Suit was brought
TO prohibit the traction company from
making use of any portion of Glen
Miller park for the purpose of laying
tracks. The company intended TO &C
cept the terms of the franchise agree
ment with the city. which gave it the
right to lay tracks for the proposed
freight route on North Twenty-third
street.
The state contends quo warranto
proceedings were necessary because
of the nature of the case. The de-
PENDANT being an incorporated compa-
ny and the land in question a city
park owned and belonging to the prop
erty owners thereof. Mr.. Winter
maintained quo warranto is not the
proper kind of proceedings to insti-
tute. He asserted that in matters Of
such litigation the attack must be
made upon blank party where pub
lie service is granted. He said a geG-
eral franchise must not be matter Of
public. but sovereign right Where
city acts as an agent for the state
and confers the right to a traction or
other public servieessorporation to use

Wayne County People Have
Eyes on Big Party Ac-
tons at Present.
DENVER IN THE LIMELIGHT.
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
ALIKE ARE PLEASED OVER THE
PROSPECT OF THE NOMINAL
TON OF BRYAN.

Richmond and Wayne county people
are taking the keenest interest in poll
tics. During the recent national re-
publican convention there was such a
demand for even the most minute de-
tails that the Palladium went to a
great expense in fully covering the
affair. The efforts of the Palladium
were fully appreciated and there was
an unprecedented demand for the pa
per.
The democratic national convention
at Denver is being followed with just
as keen interest as was the Chicago
convention. Once more the Palladi-
um has responded to the demands of
it's hundreds of readers and is furnish
ing report of the happenings at Den
yer that would be a credit to many of
the large metropolitan papers.
Wayne county democrats and repub-
licans are each pleased with the al
most certainty of Bryan's nomination.
The democrats in this county are
pleased because they have always been
loyal to the peerless Leader" and be-
cause tItS IHllh lie NLIi nave d DSlIel
chance of leading the party to victory
than any other aspirant for the nomi-
nation. The republicans of this coun-
ty are ticllled because they are of the
opinion that Bryan will be an easier
man for Taft to defeat than Johnson
would be. Bryan has been defeated
twice before and he is weaker now
than he was during his previous cam
paigns," they say.
After the Denver convention is over
political interest in Wayne county will
until about the first of September
which is the time set by both parties
to actively open the campaign. When
the campaign is formally opened it is
expected that the campaign will be the
most exciting in years. Wayne coun-
ty promises to be the principal battle
ground of the Sixth district. Enemies
of James E. Watson will wage a bitter
fight against him here while the Rev.
T. II. Kuhn, democratic nominee for
congressman. encouraged by the show
congressional campaign. will make a
determined effort to capture this coun-
". Judge Barnard. the republican
congressional nominee will make an
equally hard fight to hold old Wayne
in the republican column.

SOAP BUBBLES.
How Some Pretty and Marvellous Et
fects May Be Produced.

How Some Pretty and Marvellous Ef'
fects May Be Produced.
There are degrees of skill in all pas
times. but one would hardly think that
there We're specialists in the art of
blowing soap bubbles. An article in
the Windsor Magazine by Meredith MI
gent, however. shows that some very
pretty and marvellous effects may be
obtained by the exercise of care and
patience with soap and water.
The first step is to make a solution
by rubbing pure white CASTLE soap into
a bowl partly filed with water until a
lather has been formed. Then remove
every particle of lather. dip clay pipe
into the cleared solution and start to
blow a bubble
If you can blow one six inches in di-
ameter so that it will hang suspended
from the pipe and will allow your fore
t,"~er covered with the solution to be
- led through into the bubble with,
N,'t breaking. then the mixture is ready
.oc use
Six bubbles may be blown, one inside
tIr other. This is performed by dip,
l'ag the end of straw in the soapy
t&ter and after resting the wet end
."ro0 an inverted plate or sheet Of
las which should have been previ.
c3sly wet with the solution. blow n
h916le six inches in diameter.
Then dip the straw into the solution
again. carefully thrust it through into
he center Of this first bubble and blow
another. Continue in this manner until
I'll the bubbles are in position. Great
are must be taken that the straw Is
thoroughly wet with solution for fully
half its length before each bubble is
blown. With practice ten or twelve
huhbles may be placed inside of one
another.

=or Political Reasons Com
missioners Decide Not
To install! Them.
DESIRE PEACE IN RANKS.
TO MACHINES USE, cONsID-
COMMISSIONERS THEM
eELVES FAVOR SYSTEM.

No voting machines will be used in
Wayne county at the coming general
election. The county commissioners
at their meeting today turned down
the proposition of the United States
Voting Machine company to place ma
chimes in this county on a rental
charge. The action was the result of
the desire of the commissioners to
avoid arousing sentiment and perpetu-
ating the agitation in regard to the
machines. Two factions have arisen
one favoring and the other opposing
machines. The commissioners wished
to keep peace in the republican ranks.
Strange as it may seem the split
arose over the same phase of the pro-
position 1t was charged by opponents
of James E. Watson, republican candi-
date for governor that machines
would be installed in his interests.
The claim was made that the length
OF time spent in the booth would in
dictate whether or not the voter was
scratching his ticket. The anti-Wat-
son faction asserted many voters
would be forced through timidity to
vote straight party ticket, as the
consequence.
On the other hand the supporters of
Watson did not desire the machine for
a different reason. 1t is claimed it is
the intention of many voters to split
the ticket and that this desire on their
part would lead them to vote a
straight democrat ticket. This would
raise an effectual bar against Watson.
The inspectors on the outside would
know a straight ticket had been voted
but they could not tell for what party.
The members of the board of com
missioners favor the machines as in
diyiduals. Lewis Bowman, county
chairman of the republicans is a per-
sonal admirer of the machine and be-
lieves they will come to stay ultimate
ly. Political policy led him to oppose
the machines just at this time, owing
to conditions in the county.

BOARD OF WORKS
FACE AN INQUIRY
Council Members viii Ask the
Body Few Questions About
Traction Matter.
TIRED OF "TOMFOOLERY."
ACTIONS OF BOARD OF WORKS
IN REFERENCE TO DAYTON
AND WESTERN FRANCHISE ARE
MUCH IN DISFAVOR.

This evening there will be a meeting
held at the city building by members
of the city council and board of public
works, and business men interested in
the local traction situation. At this
meeting the Dayton q Western trac-
ion franchise matter will come up for
discussion and, it is expected, the
board will advocate that the traction
company pay the city bonus for the
franchise it is seeking.
Business men are opposed to this
plan, and it is stated members of
council do not approve of it. This
fact will be made plainly evident to
the board and it will probably realize
at the close of the session that the
business men of the city are, as one
shipper puts it, tired of their tomfool-
cry regarding local traction matters"
Secretary E. NJ. Haas will produce a
collection of kilograms received yester-
day from officers of various Indiana
and Ohio cities, which will bear out
the statement he will make that
should Richmond attempt to force the
Dayton x Western to pay a bonus for
its franchise. it would be a move no
other municipality in this part of the
country ever attempted to make.
One of the council members stated
that he would ask the board to produce
the franchise submitted for approval
by the d. & w. about three weeks ago.
He will also inquire of the board why
the proposal of the officers of the D.
&, w. to meet with the board in an eff
fort to adjust all difficulties and reach
an understanding regarding the fran
chise, was turned down.

asserted there is practically the same
number of authorities holding such

instance the use of the street was said
not to be by franchise but by a grant
from the city, which owns the park in

One. Of the largest crowds ever
assembled in the opera house greeted
the children last Friday night. With
out going into particulars we may say
that the entertainment was great
success. in every way. Too much
credit cannot be given the teachers
for the time devoted to training the
childred. It was understood that the
net pooceeds were to 60 toward paying
for the piano bought last fall. 1t is
very gratifying to say that thru the
liberal patronage Of the people Of the
town the net proceeds amounted to
over $12s.
