before they were allowed to en-

twelve miles an hour to in

WRECK ON THE MOP.
Engineer and Fireman Killed
When Bridge Gives Way.

Monday night about II 40 an
east bound freight on the River
Route of the Missouri Pacific
was making its way slowly over
a trestle spanning a small creek
near Dover, the trestle gave way
and precipitated the engine and
five cars into the creek carrying
with them the engineer, John
Briscoe of Kansas City, the fire
man, Jeff d. Clark of Jefferson
City, and brakeman, j. 0. Love,
Sedalia. The two former were
killed, and Love, slightly injured
managed to swim to the bank.
On account of the heavy rains
the train was running slowly
and the crew was exercising
great caution. Nearing the
creek the train was stopped, but
a track wake" who evidently
thought the bridge was safe
signalled the train to go ahead
The train had barely gained a
speed of five miles an hour wher
the engine and five cars crashed
through the trestle.
The body Of the fireman, Mr.
Clark, was recovered Wednesday
morning, but that of Mr.. Brisco,
is supposed to have floated on
into the river and may be som,
time before it is recovered, i
ever.
The train was a fast freigh
carrying live stock and perish
able commodities.

$50 Inches of Rain.

Monday night this vicinity
experienced the severest rain
storm in years. $3.50 inches of
water fell between sun down and
sun up. 1t as been several years
since this country round about
has received a good soaking, but
the rains of the past week com
bined with that of Monday night
have, no doubt, penetrated to a
considerable depth. The pros
poets are very favorable for
more rain.

EIGHT FULL DAYS
And Four Nights of Fun at the
Missouri State Fair.

Recognizing the justice of the
demand that the people be given
more time to see the Missouri
State Fair, the Directors have
decided to keep the gates open
eight full days this year, begin
ming Saturday, September 26
and ending Saturday, October 3.
-Four nights the grounds will be
open and the great pavilion
alight, and the equine world will
be seen at their best.
Friday, which, heretofore, has
been getaway day, viii be the
great Saddle Horse Day-as full
of events as Big Thursday.
Racing at the fair this year
will be better than ever. And
there will be greater competition.
For instance, in the 2:40 trot
there are fifty entrants; in the
217 trot forty-two; in the 2:14
trot twenty-five; in the 2 "a pace
forty-nine; in the 209 pace
twenty nine, and so on, Of
course not all of the entrants
will start, but there will be
field full for every race and
xcitement enough for anybody.
These racing events are well
distributed through the week,
and not one of the days will be
a dull day-even Sunday being
dedicated to a great musical
feast by that greatest of present
day bands, named for and di-
rected by Signor ErnestO
INatiellO.
Railroads have been kind to
the fair management and train
service into Sedalia and into
the grounds will be ample.
Hotels and private homes will
take care of all comers, and there
will be no excessive charges, no
"gouging."
For those who care to come to
grounds inclOsure, and no charge
will be made.
Every indication points to the
spend a week, seeing the fair
from every angle at a minimum
of expense, camping grounds will
be provided within the fair
= greatest of all Missouri fairs
| and every step will be taken to
r secure for every visitor just
, what he or she wants in the
2 way of accommodations.

hands Of the people in the dis
tnct. In other words, it gives
the people of the district the
right to attend to their own
affairs in the matter of building
roads. If this amendment is
adopted the people of each
road district will be given the
right to elect their road over
seers and to transact their road
matters much in the same way
the school districts transact their
school matters.
OPPOSING ARGUMENT.
The reasons given by the OPP
ponents of Amendment No. e
why it should be voted down are
as follows
This amendment ought not be
adopted because it creates new
and additional ways of levying
taxes. The Constitution as it
is affords ample means for rails
ing taxes for all necessary and
legitimate purposes. Just be-
cause good roads are a good
thing is no good reason fol-
going "hog wild" on the
subject. Too much money
now raised in the name o
good roads goes into road over
seers pockets instead of on tn,
roads. We already have to,
many road laws. Let u
cut off some of the expenses fo
inspecting" this, that and tn
other and add the money thu
saved to the automobile registra
tion fees for building roads wit
funds raised by the State.
