Three OF the injured, and possibly
more, are not expected TO survive. Re

The collision occurred between a
local train nOrthbound and an excur-
sion train headed toward st. Louis and
loaded with passengers on their way
to view the parade OF the Yelled Proph-
cts In st. Louis. The accident, accord

48th WAYNE
COUNTY FAIR
5000 People Present Wednes-
day---Track Record Broken
Splendid Exhibition Of Cattle,
Poultry and Farm Utensils.

The best yet! is the way the peo-
pie expressed themselves as to this
years Wayne county fair. The
weather was superb and could not
have been better if made to order.
There were 5000 people passed the
gates on Wednesday, This was a
record breaking crowd. Every de-
record-breaking crowd. Every depart
ment of the fair was well conducted
graduated for the ability and labor
which they displayed in their efforts
to please and interest the public
Rotton Row was, as usual, a blot on
the map, and many people expressed
their surprise that demoralizing
shows should be allowed on the
ground. The space occupied by them
could be used by exhibitions of a
character that could be visited by
women and children as well as men,
and the features of which would be
elevating, instructive, entertaining
and amusing. 1t is a mistaken idea
that Wayne county people desire to
have set out before them such a lot
of monstrosities as were to be seen
on the "Slum Avenue" of the fair
grounds.
The Industrial exhibits were of a
high order, and the tents of Spetti-
que, Murray Co., and Erik Bros. were
thronged all day with interested visi-
tors who examined stoves, wagons,
farmers utensils, gasoline engines
and other articles which are useful
on the farm. The large exhibition
building was occupied by the Piano
dealers. Mcintyre, the piano man,
and jenkins, the music man, made
good displays of pianos, organs and
other musical instruments The
State College had an exhibit and it
was so noteworthy that we have de-
voted a much larger space elsewhere
than we could here. The stock dis
play was source of great interest
to the farmers who are given to
stock raising and the display was a
most excellent one and shows that
Wayne county farmers are keeping
pace with the times in this depart
ment of the farm. The poultry show
was purely Wayne county exhibit
and while there were fewer birds
than last year (because outside ex-
hibits were not present) the quality
was much better and proves that the
standard of breeding is becoming
higher and we predict Wayne county
fairs. The upper part of the main
building was devoted to industries
of the home and there were displays
of numerous kinds which reflected
great credit upon the wives and house
maids of our county for their skill
and deftness in the many lines which
go to make our homes and our life
pleasant and enjoyable. The display
of the products of the farm were
grand and show that the soil of
Wayne has potentialities which, if
properly utilized, would outdo the
much-boasted land of the west.
Wayne counteans can be proud of
what has been revealed to them at
this years fair of the wealth that
is hidden in Wayne county soil and
only needs intelligent perseverance
to enrich her people.
The racing at the fair was the best
known in the history of its existence.

PENNSYLVANIA LIKES SCHEME.
Thirty-fOur Pennsylvania Postmasters
and One Hundred and Two
Banks Have Applied for
Privileges

AS an evidence of interest in the
establishment of the proposed postal
sayings bank system, 800 postmast-
ers and 923 banks have written to
Postmaster General Hitchcock The
Postmasters asked that their offices
be designated as postal savings
banks, and the banks requested that
they be named as repositories for
postal funds.
From every state and territory, ex-
cept Arizona, Delaware, the District
of Columbia, Nevada and Rhode Is
land, applications have been made
by postmasters, and only Nevada,
Delaware and Utah bankers have
failed to ask for deposits from the
fund to be accumulated. Only Della
ware and Nevada have failed TO be
represented by either postmasters or
banks in the making of such re-
quests.
The greatest interest in the new
institution has been shown in the
state of Pennsylvania, whence came
"a requests from postmasters and 1O2
requests from banks. Among the
southern states, Texas takes the lead
in the matter of interest in the new
system, 80 postmasteTs and 80 banks
of that state having written to Mr..
Hitchcock in reference to the new
postal banks.

REVOLT IN LISBON
King of Portugal Prisoner
of ReyOIutiOniStS.
HIS PALACE IS B0MBARDED.
Action Is Meant as Fatal Blow to Old
MonarehaI Regime - Unless Prov
inces Help Manuel House of Bra
eanza Will Cease to Reign.

Paris, Oct. "a wireless has been
received by lie Matin stating that n
revolution has broken out in Lisbon.
Warships are said to be bombarding
the palace, this deed being explained
by the statement that the army and
navy are said to be ON the side of the
revolutionists.
King Manuel is prisoner in the
name of the Republican party.
Unless the provinces Of Portugal
rally to him and overwhelm the capi-
tai the house of Braganza will cease
to reign.
King Manuel's seat on the throne of
Portugal has been one of sorrow and
insecurity ever since the double assas-
sination Of his father and elder broth
er in February, 1908.
These assaSSinations were the terri
bic demonstrations of the Republican
leaders; but, terrible as they were.
they did not carry out the full pur-
pose of the regicides, which was to
wipe out the entire royal family in
one wholesale slaughter
In the upheaval of general horror
over the violent deaths of King Car
los and the crown prince the revolu-
tionary spirit was for the moment
cowed, and Manuel was permitted to
become the boy king Of Portugal But
the revolutionary spirit was only slum-
bering. and the dispatches have borne
ample proof of the instability of the
monarchy.
The discovery of widespread revolu-
tonary consplracies have been receiv-
ed, leaders have been arrested, who
have not scrupled 10 declare that they
were members Of secret societies
banded to overturn the government,
and plots have been unearthed which
have had for their sheer object the
assassination of King Manuel.
At a banquet given only a short
time ago at the royal palace of Lisbon
a lieutenant of the royal household
arose and dramatically declared that
he could not rest quiet while plotters
were at work even In that room and
denounced the court dignitaries and
politicians present as spies and trait
ors.
w hdndCl "tul ne WAS
watched as the czar of Russia is
watched by guards against anarchists
and would be assassins, and during
the past few days the palace forces
have been doubled In vain attempt
to secure the monarch's safety.
But the king knew there was no
safety for him where he could count
on no man as a trusty friend, and he
has over and again made 1t clear that
1t was his wish to abdicate.
What the people demand has not
been very clearly formulated. The
economical administration OF the "roy-
al advances" "strict justice" and ma
tional honor" are some of the phrases
employed, but the basis of the whole
upheaval is really a popular determi-
nation that the old monarchical regime
is dead and that the day OF citizenship
and republicanism has arrived.

The State College Agricultural Ex-

One of the most interesting ex-
hibits at the county fair this year
was that of the Pennsylvania State
College. This display was made in
accordance with a decision of the
faculty of that institution, that it
would be advisable to advertise the
work of the college by having ex-
hibits at the various county fairs
and to better acquaint the people
with the great strides that are being
made along the line of scientific
farming
The display was in charge of j.
w. White and c. j. Bride, who ex-
planned the various exhibits and an
swered questions as to their bearing
on practical farming. There were

and oat straw, with tabulated statis-

High Cost Of Lights.

Something must be radically wrong with
our light and water meters or with the
the person who reads them or with the
person who did the reading up to Oct. 1st.
George Syphan was either incompetent
or MIR. Anderson is. No one doubts George
Syphan's honesty or capability and I know
he was always exceedingly careful and
painstaking In reading my meters. My
Oct. bill was almost double what 1t had
been under the old regeme and l put In
Tungstan lights, put In 2 candle power
lights, cut out every light that was not
absolutely necessary and used the utmost
economy but my November bill was more
than one dollar greater than my Oct. bill.
I have taken out nearly all my lights now
but confidently look for an increase in bill
for December. The same trouble seems to
Axist with the water meters Is there no
relief or no redress to be had. It is useless
to appeal to the City Council and when
complaint is made to Mr.. Anderson he
simply laughs at you through a cloud OF
tobacco smoke.
1t has about reached the point where
only the rich can use city lights and water:
Under the Thompson administration
paid IS. q month fiat rate for two or three
months, before the city took charge, and
then my bill was generally about So per
month, but now with the utmost care and
economy on our part the monthly bill
scars away beyond SIS. for lights. Next
month I am going to cut out all my lights
then the bill will still be larger. ,
