Beatrice, Neb., June 29.-All trains on
the Union Pacific road between Beat
rice and Manhattan are annulled today
because of washouts along that line.

PROGRAM TOMORROW.

Hagerstown, Ind. July 28.-The Ha-

most auspicious manner. Hundreds
of people were in attendance and the
displays on hand far exceeded any
ever shown at a fair held in Wayne
county. There was quite a large dele
cation of Richmond people present
This afternoon there will be racing
and a classy lot of horses are entered
in the event.
The show horses on display here
exceed in number and class, those ex-
hibited in any fair held in eastern
Indiana. This is also true of the poul-
try display. The building reserved
for poultry is filled to capacity and a
large tent has been erected for the
poultry entries.
All the other displays are way
above standard and there is a large
number of tented attractions on the
grounds. Tomorrow there will be an
excellent racing program offered and
it is expected that one of the largest
crowds of the week will be ON hand.

But little work has been done toward

work was to have been done by local
business men. and it is probable that
this feature will not be included.

Young mems republican clubs areN

tive committee of the republican coun.;
" central committee last evening, IL
was decided TO promote interest
among the young voters by means OF

that there is a sufficient number OF

The executive committee believes
everything in Wayne county will be
favorable to the interests of the party
and the same old time one sidedness
will be shown when the election re-
turns are received. 1t is expected the
state committee will send some of its
best speaking material into this coun-
ty just TO show what is to be gained
| by continuance of republicans in Of
flee. Indiana is to be battle ground

Gratis and republicans will not fight IL
out alone, as the prohibitionists will
concentrate their energies in the eff.

tion. The socialists have announced
their intention TO make an aggre ssive
campaign throughout the state.
1t is the belief of the executive com
mittee that ii is possible for republi-
cans to sing themselves into the
hearts of their countrymen and also
to influence votes. A glee club has
been organized and assured of the
support of the committee The men,

wearing apparel that will be distinc-

the campaign four years ago rendered
valuable service.

corps this season and practice has
been taken up already by several of
these organizations. The committees
support will be accorded the drum
and bugle corps that is organized un-
der the auspices of the Young Mems

ber of fife and drum outfits will be
out for parades. One drum eorps

Had to Be Chopped From the
Tar in Which He Had Slept

and Immediately landed into the
midst of the contents. So nice and
warm was the tar that the overloaded
one thought he was home in the feath-
ers, consequently he passed into a
deep if somewhat sticky Rip Van Win
kle sleep. While our hero slumbered
the tar cooled and this morning when
Rollo awoke from his trance he was
much mortified and alarmed to find
he was encased by a hard layer OF tar
His sobs and yelps soon aroused an
employee of the cleaning company
who, after suppressing his mirth al
the spectacle which greeted his as
tonished eyes, fell upon the tar with
a hatchet and in a few minutes had
our hero rescued.
