BANKERS ARE IN CONVENTION
Seek the Establishment of a Uniform
Bill of Ladinu.

Five thousand delegates are in Chi
cago attending the convention of the
American Bankers association, which
will be in session practically all OF
this week
One of the principal matters to be
taken up by the bankers and business
men is the establishment of uniform
bill of lading.
For tie past four years banking
shipping and commercial interests
have endeavored to secure legislation
that would safeguard the bill of lading
as an instrument of credit, contendine
that the failure of carriers to assume
responsibility had resulted in extensive
frauds and the loss of several millions
Of dollars annually by the banks.
Aside from business matters before
the convention elaborate preparations
have been made to entertain the visit
ors.
Opposition to the establishment OF
the postal savings bank, predicted as
a development of the meeting of the
American Bankers association, was
voiced at the opening session of the
State Bank Supervisors association

The Caspian Sea.

The Caspian sea is. as Herodotus
said 1000 years ago. "a sea by itself.
having no connection with any other"
Every schoolboy knows that now. but
1t. is remarkable to Gnd Herodotus
saying so. because centuries after his
time such authorities as Strabo and
Pliny believed that it was connected
with the northern ocean by long and
narrow gulf. Geography seems to
have had setback in the. interval
through false information received at
the time of Alexander's conquests.
Herodotus says that the Caspian's
length was fifteen days voyage with
a rowboat. it's breadth eight days
Since the actual figures are $50 miles
and 400, this shows that a rowboat OF
the time did fifty miles a day.-London

about one week in advance of DR.

coveted the north pole almost yeai

When DR.. Cook arrives here on Sept

no less noteworthy than that which he
has enjoyed in Denmark. Public COM

will be a parade.

STATE FAIR OF INDIANA
Record Crowd Overcomes Less Caused
by Bad Weather.

With total paid attendance for the
week at Indiana's state fair of 103, 58e
and with total receipts of about ST., 00C
or $4,000 less than a year ago, it now
looks to the management of the state
fair as if all expenses would not only
be met, but something might be left in
the way of profits.
Nearly all of the fair contracts are
made payable after the exposition is
over, and some of them are not due
until Oct. j.
The patronage Friday was what
saved the day. the paid admissions day
and evening being 22,410. The horse
show came to the rescue of the treas
ury, people being turned away after ali
the seats were filed. Stall rent in live
stock departments was another good
source of revenue, especially in the
horse division, where more than one
hundred extra stalls were necessary
The night shows, with total attendance
of 1880 for the week, never before
made such a showing for paid admis-
sions since they were started three
years ago.
The attendance on three days broke
the record, a new mark for concession
receipts was made. and while new
records were in order, Secretary
Charles Downing paid the premiums on
the last day instead of carrying this
pay day over to the morning after.
Secretary Downing said:
1--WE do not undertake to control the
weather, but take it as it comes
Thursday, rain was what set us back
in our money making. But the board
accomplished it's purpose in giving q
successful fair. We always. wish te
have the fair make good profit thai,
we can turn into improvements on the
grounds. The board would like to erect
a machinery hall, pretentious cattle
barn, big building for women, and
should like to have large hall where
We could place the best symphony or
chestras of the country"
