WHEELING. w Va, Sept EVIL
liza mJennings Bryan, the Democratic
candidate for president, yesterday
anu last night was West Virginia 5
guest. A royal welcome. was accord
ed him as his privat ecir "Olivette."
containing himself and party and a
big reception committed crossed the
OHIO river and entered this city.
The river front was mass OF hui
manity and as Democracy's leader
stepped foot on West Virginia soil he
was cheered 20 the echo. His car was
stopped directly in front OF the hotel,
but SO great was the crowd that even
the combined. efforts OF the police
could not prevent him from being
forced TO struggle his way through.
Speaking 10 multitude Of persons
ON the very shore of the river itself
and with the state OF Ohio directly on.
posite Mr. Bryan pointed out the diff
ferences in the two platforms and
made a plea for Democratic support.
He made frequent reference to Mr..
Taft and told his audience that the
Republican candidate was conducting
his campaign on a platform so obnox-
icus TO him that he was forced TO con
tinually patch il up with amendments
OF his own Much stress was laid on
the labor and anti-injuncsion planks of
the Democratic platform, his remarks
on this subject being applauded by
many unemployed wOrkmen from the
Ohio steel plants in this vicinity.
Climax of Eventfu Day.
no fgff k. al
max OF an eventful day in Ohio, the
native state Of Mr. Taft. From the
time the Democratic candidate left
Columbus, early in the morning, until
he crossed the Ohio river into West
Virginia. the crowds. which gathered
along the line of travel made insist
ent demands for his appearance and
TO talk to rs Il little

side the track, while his car was be-
ing shifted to another train. Mr.. Bry-
an addressed them AS be had done
at other points in the state. he hurled
shafts OF ridicule az Mr.. Taft, whose
speeches. he declared, had darkened
rather than Illuminated the subjects
which compose the Republican plat
form.
Mr. Bryan put to his audience these
question:. How many Of you believe
that United States senators should be
elected by direct vote of the people?
How many OF YOU believe that we
ought to have a publication of cam
paign contributions. that is. above a
reasonable minimum. before election"
A sea of hands went up. Now,
said Mr. Bryan, by your vote You
have declared that you stand on the
Democratic platform instead of on the
Republican PLATFORM
Altogether the receptions of the
Democratic candidate in Ohio and in
this city Were among the notable hap
penings of the campaign.

STATE FAIR GREAT
SUCCESS; $4,000
ATTENDED
FEATURES TO BE
ADDED TO NEXT YEARS SHOW
SURPLUS TO BE PUT INTO I'M.
pROvEMENTS

State fair week may be homecoming
week for wandering Detroiters next
year. The management of the Michi-
gan Agricultural society is considering
the idea and may carry into effect in
1909
Other cities and towns have had
home coming weeks for years but De
troit has never adopted the idea. Cit
les as large as Boston have made one
time in the year a season of return
for absent sons and daughters, who
can then renew old acquaintance and
go away TO spread anew the doctrine
Of patriotism for the home town. There
is no occasion so truly Detroit affair
as the big annual fair and therefore
that is the time likely to be chosen.
Friday the fair OF 1908 came 10 an
end 1t was bigger. better and more
successful in every way than any pre-
vious fair and the paid admissions to-
tailed 800 600 with net profit Of $50
000 as against paid attendance or
2S60O0 and much smaller profits the
previous year This success insures
permanency and the directors will this
winter cinsider plans for series OF
improvements which will make the
fair one Of the best permanent eXposi-
tons in the country.
Fridays crowd was small in com
parison to that Of other days and the
exhibitors waited not on the order or
their going when the clocks struck the
hour, OF 4 in the afternoon. but set TO
work busily to pack up exhibits and
pei sonal property. In the main build
ing a group OF demonstrators and ex-
hibitors gathered and sang songs for
a half hour or more.
The Midway was a scene of desola
ton before nightfall. Tents came down
and thet show people hustled 10 get
things ready for the fitting TO the
next fair. Grand Rapids will get most
OF them.
There was the usual chapter of Il
ness and accidents for Acts hospital

animal Snowman, was taken i'll with
pneumonia Mrs Anna Tucker Of De
troit, was attacked by severe case

All Friday night and Saturday morn

away goods that had been ON exhibit

grounds were nearly deserted, and had
been cleaned up TO partially resemble
their normal state.

REVERENCE FOR LAW.
Some Needed Suggestions on This Subject
Which Deserve Consideration.

The Concord Times of the Goth,
publishes an account of a sermon
delivered in that town recently,
by Rev. Plato Durham. The fol-
lowing is al extract from the ser
mon and is we'll worthy of most
serious thought and consideration:
1.-The mob that lynched the man
in Tennessee last week is a mob of
cur own making. Every man who
has ever broken a law is a man
who helps build up the mob. Are
there any law-breakers here? You
have a prohibition law here, How
many have broken it? No matter
whether you agree with the law or
not, when North Carolina says it
is a law and you break it, you are
sowing the seeds of hell. When
men laugh st law, seeds r sown
out of which the mob springs as a
Legitimate harvest. Do nothing
to degrade the majesty of the law
CT to degrade your common
wealth. How many men give a
correct return of their property
for taxes? How many laugh at
that and wink the other eye? If
we give ourselves to that kind of
thing, the tendency is to ride
down any law.
"Another thing: The President
of our country may be red-hand-
ed, but he is the sovereign of his
nation, and when you vilIify him
you have degraded the office Of
President of the Uunlted States
You have a righs to criticise him,
but you must have reverence for
the office he holds. We may dis
agree with the Governor of ou1
State, but we should not ridicule
and villify him. It is the same
with all officers of State and Ma
ton. No wondar people lose res,
pect for government when both
parties do this sort of thing. As
q result we finally wake up to tbs
fact that we have no reverence fol
law. Stand for any party yo1
please, but be an American either
first"
The sovereign life Of this nation
is above any party. Every viola
ton Of law is a dagger strnck into
the bosom of our nation. Ame1i
cas- it's on the highest throne o:
our nations. Shall we tramplt
her sacred Life in the dust or cause
har fest to walk the way of death
Shall the owl aud bittern inhabi'
her palaces? l ask you to opel
your eyes and look into the ma.
jestic face of your mother land

Que of the most remarkable dis

of an investigation made by Off

outbreak of that disease in George.

The investigation disclosed the
fact that a woman mixer at a
neighboring dairy who had ty-
phoid fever eighteen years ago,
still throws off in her dejecta
virlle, typhoid fever bacili, and
was the responsible agent in
spreading the disease. With one
exception this is the first consid.

in the United States, traced
through milk, to such a carrier.
A peculiar feature in connection
with the case is that the examina.
