was seated was struck by the rear car
Of an incoming electric train st The cor
uer Of King and Royal streets shorty
before nine o'clock this morning The
right front wheel Of the buggy was

cured a wagon appeared on the north
side OF King street, near Royal where
it stopped Mr.. Nails was driving be-
tween the railway track and the wagon,
and when the train drew near he stopped
his horse, supposing there would be
room for the cars to pass him. The
motor car cleared the buggy, bat In
turning the corner the trailer swung
around and collided with the buggy with
the result given above.

They soon proceeded to Washington.
The north bound car was in charge OF

Mcbride was in charge of the work

The accident was caused by the failure
of the crew of the south bound car to
observe the signsls. Chief Dispatcher

THE exposition are to be commended
from two points of view. Advertising
in any form is good and, like every other
ftature of business, subject 10 the judy
menl Of the person as to the manner. 1t
seems TO be decided by q vast m' jority
OF "Prepsred iood'' manufacturers that
free distribution ia food shows is the
quickest and most effective way OF get
lng it into the house. Eating 1t free Of
charge in q show creates a demand; II Il;
is OF merit, and the retail merchant puts
it in stock, 1t gets reputation. Experience
teaches that advertisement in some form
is absolutely necessary to more than
ordinary success In business. Any and
every legitimate exhibition of industrial
process in a public hall of city Is OF
material benefit to that city in this way
il stimulates the heretofore inactive man.
ufacturers 10 st least think OF some
method Of getting their wares more gen.
orally known. Some will wait for an-
other show, Others will Immediately take
the local press. The benefit 10 the
holders of space In the present exhibit
10 Armory Hall will be apparent imme'
distely; their products are mertOrious
and we predict they will reap results.
One of the princi al features OF The ex'
position is the HOta-t electric (ooise-
less) coffee mill 10 the Yates and Fer
guson booth, which attracts much at
ieDtion. The grocers principally are
interested on account Of the nOistlees
feature of this mill. To stand of and
look at 1t when operating you ere not
sure whether it is 10 motion unless yen
started it yourself. The old nerve rack
