MAYOR BELL
 IS ACQUITTED
JURY IN FEW MINUTES SAYS INDIANAPOLIS MAYOR
 NOT CRATER.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. I3.-After having been out just a few minutes this afternoon the jury returned with a verdict of not guilty in the ease of Mayor Bell of this city who was ac- cusea of graft and conspiracy in con- nection with the late elections. The mayor was indicted with Tom Tag gart. the noted politician, and a hum dred others for various kinds of fraud and the evidence was exhaustive but it wa, shown that the charge had no real foundation in fact. The quick verdict of ,he jury, it is believed, will result in the dismissal of the charges against Taggart and the other defend ants.

How Northwestern
 Touched the Beach
No Harm Done to Big Ship by Her
 Experience in Fog.

The steamship Northwestern arriv- ed this morning after an eventful trip. With an unusually large cargo for Seward and other ports as well as a good list of passengers, all of which required getting through on schedule. The ship met with a success sion of fogs or bad weather which de- layed everything. At Bella Bella the same conditions as to fogs and tides prevailed which little later proved so disastrous to the Mariposa.
 It was at Ketchikan, however, where the only possibly serious in- cident occurred but this, fortunately, turned out with the only damage of any consequence being a delay for in- vestigation to assure the captain that the ship was perfectly safe for navi- gation.
 At the entrance to Ketchikan har- bor a short turn must be made in the vicinity of rocks which are marked by bell buoys. It was at two o'clock in the morning that Captain Hunter shut down the engines. Fog was so thick that it was impossible to see the bow of the boat, let alone seeing bell buoy a hundred yards away. At this particular point the coast line on each side is low and echoes from fog whistle are uncertain. A heavy tide runs at this point and with the ship stopped this tide carried the Northwestern broadside on a reef from which no echo was, of course possible. Such a position is always serious, but by getting out anchors in the face of the heavy tide the ship was worked off even before the fog lifted to disclose the shore line. A few minutes after the ship was dock ed at Ketchikan, by chance, there happened to be passing through Ketchikan, a marine diver with full apparatus. His investigation of the ships bottom required less than an hour and disclosed that the only damage was the loss of five rivets which were pulled out by the strain and one plate of the garbOard strake next to the keel on the port side op- posite the after mainmast was sprung about one-quarter of an inch. Tenn porary repairs were made to stop the flow of water, which is now insignifi- cant It is estimated that the boat will be delayed at Puget Sound for repairs less than twelve hours.

LESLIE'S WEEKLY SPEAKS
 OF ALL-ALASKA REVIEW Colonel Sleicher Mentions Review Particularly and Also COmpli-
 ments the Gateway.

In the issue of September 90 Colonel Sleicher has another long and interesting write-up about Alaska in which he mentions the All Alaska Review and the Seward Gate way. The following is the paragraph in which he speaks of Alaskan papers:
 "The press of Alaska, considering all the drawbacks of the business, the high price of material and labor, the cost of news by cable from Seat tie, is enterprising and ably conduct ed Among the leading papers that I read enroute were the Ketchiian Miner, Juneau Empire, Cordova Times and Seward Gateway, and The All-Alaska Review, the last named very interesting monthly"
The Seward gateway., 1915-10-14

has also ben stated that their proper ties in the town were ordered confs- cated but this is an absurdity appar- ently as there is no one in Alaska with the authority to confscate the property of anyone, unless after trial in the higher courts or some other procedure beyond the power or anyone at Anchorage. It is stated, by the way, that the rumor which said a lady well known in Seward had been arrested with the rest is not true

GREATEST FAIR IN HISTORY OF SOUTH WILL
Be HELD AT MEMPHIS, SEPT. 26--OCT.
Fortune offered in PremumsStock Show Biggest
and Many Splendid Amusement Features
Have Been Secured.

The greatest fair in the history OF
the South is the promise of the Tri
State Fair Association this year.
The fair, which has made Memphis
as we'll known in the fair realm as
the International Stock Show has
made Chicago in the stock show
world, will open this year on Septem
Der rs and will close October 5, al
midnight.
Nothing has been left undone this
year Nothing has been left to chance.
For year the directors of the fair or
ganization have planned for the 1915
triumph, and they say that 1t will be a
triumph indeed.
Here will be shown, as cannot be
shown in any other spot in the coun-
try, the great changes through which
the South has passed in the last year
Diversification, the improvement IN
stock breeding, the coming of poultry
into its own as money producer, the
browning of Corn as Crown Prince to
King Cotton, will all be reflected dur
ing the ten days of the big exposition.
A wealth of premiums have been Of
fered. They cover every imaginable
line. The woman with recipe for
good apple pie can go to Memphis and
get the pie prize while her hush is
down at the stock ring watching
blue ribbon being pinned on the little
Jersey that he bought at the fair only
two years before.
Over 100000 will be offered ID
stock prizes alone. And then in addi-
ton to this $1,50000 will be offered
for poultry premiums, and large sums
for agricultural exhibits and woman's
work
The Poultry Show will be the big
gest in the history of the fair; the

ladies in charge of the Womens De
partment are determined to make II
even more attractive than before.
Miss Ada Harris, who has been chief
assistant and in the secretary's office
for a number of years, directress Of
the department, announces that there
will be three divisions in which the
ladies of the three states may COM
pete. They will be culinary, decora-
tive art and textile.
Each one Of these divisions has a
score or more of sections. For in
stance, in the culinary division there
is section of catsups pickles, canned
vegetables, fruits, marmalades and a
dozen other sections that make ones
mouth water.
Seven different kinds of pies are ELI
gible for competition, but they will all
come under the general heading of
"ples like mother used to make" At
least that is provided they do not lock
them in a steel cage while the judges
are examining their various good
points.
All of which causes every able
bodied man at the fair to wish he
were Judge.

RACING AT TRI-STATE FAIR
CRACK HORSES OF SOUTH WILL
BE PlTTED IN SPEED
TRIALS.

Announcement has been made by
the Tri-State Fair Association that dur
ing the fair, which opens this year On
September 26, there will be six days
of harness racing.
The Tri-State Fair Grounds are built
around the historic old Montgomery
track, known as a record breaking
oval on which such celebrities as Dan
Patch, and others of hardly lesser
fame, made fame for themselves.
Entries for open purposes will close
Monday, September 20, and indica-
lions are that some of the fastest
horses in the country will receive the
plaudits Of the thousands in the big
grand stand. There is nothing in the
world that will make man come to
his feet quicker than a neck-and-neck
finish with good horses on a good
track, and as Memphis will have both
of them during fair week, the craving
of even the most rabid race horse fan
should be satisfied.
An elaborate Horse Show for the
first four nights of the fair will also
be pleasing feature to lovers of good
horsef1esh.
There will be special railroad rates
on all lines. The fair will run for ten
days, and the races will be only one
of the many big features.

SOUTH A WINNER OF
LIVE STOCK HONORS
TNI-STATE FAIR HAS BEEN THE
GREAT FACTOR FOR DEvEL-
OPMENT.
PeInt Comfort XIV In Taking First
Honors Showed to international
Stockmen Southern Posi-.
biIities-One Incident.

A few years ago there came to the
Tri-State Fair as an entry in the live
stock show Mississippi Hereford
bull. This bull was quite the pride Of
at least one Mississippi farm. He had
a noble bearing, his marks were good,
he was of right weight and magnif-
cent vitality.
There were other bulls at this fair
q hundred or more of them. They
came from all over the continent
There were several of them who were
the pride of their Canadian owners,
others had ranged the wide sweeps of
the West, few more had been bred
in the valleys of New England. They
all wore ribbons of some recent tri-
umph.
The practically unknown Mississippi
entry came into the ring the next day
rs mystery. He did not remain so
very long, however. He was walked
around a few times. The owners of
other champions gazed at him critical
ly. The Judge confirmed their fears
by tieing the blue ribbon on his horns.
He was Point Comfort XIV, pride Of
Lavernet Farm, of Jackson And
few weeks later when he went to Kan
sas City and Chicago, and other judges
added to his honors and he returned
10 Mississippi, the grand champion
of all the Herefords.
This is only one instance of the ire
mendous power of the Tri-State Fair
Just sample demonstration of the
great good that 1t has done the Mem
phis territory in encouraging breeders
to raise their stock for the best that is
In them.
This year new international grand
champion will be crowned, but it is
safe to say that at least one of his
closest competitors-if not the cham
pion himself-will be one of the en-.
trants at the Tri-State.
Over $4,000 will be awarded in |
prizes for cattle alone at the TriState |
Fair Stock Show. Nearly $4,000 will |
be awarded for swine. All of the other
departments Of the fair are Offering |
attractive cash premiums.
Special rates to Memphis have been |
secured on the railroads for the ten !
days of the fair.

farm exhibits promise to be better
| than ever BEFORE the industrial dis
plays will be a splendid tribute u
the progress made by the South in
this line.
1t is a great fair-this Memphis fair
1t has been a great fair for several
years and just as an indication of how
splendidly it has grown let it be
known that the live stock department
alone is now seven times as big as 1t
was in 1910.
Realizing that the visitors to the
fair will relish modern amusement ami
the best of it, the amusement commit
tee has provided not only splendid
harness races this year, but has also
made arrangements with several OF
the most famous automobile speed
merchants in the country to battle for
trophies on the fast mile track.
One of the best handicaps of the
country has been booked for the fair,
and there will be an elaborate Horse
Show during the first four nights.
Every department of the fair this
year will be complete. 1t will be with
out doubt the greatest fair that any
Southern city ever attempted, and it
is expected to draw an attendance that
will far pass previous years.
The railroads have joined with the
three states and city of Memphis in
making the fair a success and have
offered attractive rates. Local agents
at each station have full information
and will gladly furnish It for the ask
ing.
1t is understood that a great many
people in this section-especially the
most enterprising of the local farm
ers and business men, have expressed
their intention of going to Memphis
for the fair.
