DOOMED SHIP
FROM BEGINNING
EASTLAND HAD TWO NARROW
ECCAPES IN 1906 FROM
CAPSIZING

Minneapolis, July 25.-Fred W.
Beecher of Minneapolis, former Of
ficer on the steamship Eastland which
capsized today at it's dock in the Chi
capo river with the loss of hundreds
of lives, said today that the big ship
was doomed from the beginning IN
sailors eyes and that it had on two
separate occasions barely escaped the
fate it met today.
"The steamer was luxuriantly fur
nished," Mr.. Beecher said. During its
day it has carried large number OF
the prominent men and women Of the
country, but from the first it exhibit
ed tendency to list. l was on the
boat in the summers Of 1905 and 1906.
In 1906 the boat was twice imperiled,
once off the South Haven, Mich, har.
Dor and at another time near the old
La Sale street tunnel in Chicago, not
far from the present accident. Each
time its intake pipes were not large
enough to take in necessary ballast
quick enough.
Intended for Deep Sea
"The steamer was heavy and neces-
sarily a deep sea vessel: Because OF
it's weight we had to throw of the
ballast, which gave it balance In deep
water, when we reached shallower
levels. Again when we neared lower
levels ballast was taken in. Had the
pipes been large enough to make the
changes quickly the process would
have been natural enough, but as it
was we had to clear the upper decks
and distriuted the crowds many times
in such q way that the balance of the
ship be kept proportionate while the
work was going on. It was this that
made it hard to get crew to man
the vessel from the start.
Trouble With Ballast
"After the two near-accidents in
1906 the steamship was taken into
drydock for repairs. left the vessel
at the time and do not know its sub
sequent history, but l cannot account
for the catastrophe except that it was
again in the old predicament-out Of
ballast. Either failure of the passen-
gers to readjust themselves while
ballast was taken in or failure to take
it in soon enough by the crew, seem to
me plausible explanations for the ac-
cident today"
Mr.. Beecher is piano salesman.
Tells of Previous Trouble
ut was no surprise to me to hear
that the Eastland had figured in dis
aster," said E. V. Cerny, 109 Spruce
place. Mr.. Cerny formerly lived in
Chicago and says that he had made
numerous trips on the Eastland.
"Seven or eight years ago." he said,
"1 was on the boat and the lake was
pretty choppy. The Eastland began to
list until the decks were at such an
angle that the steamer chairs began to
After there had been several such Incl
dents, public sentiment against the
boat became evident. It was sent to
Cleveland and this is the first year it
has been in use in Chicago since its
return"

WILLIAMS COUNTY
FAIR SEPT. l, 2, 3
SUCCESS OF FAIR DEPENDS UP.
ON EFFORTS OF CITIZENS
1T S~YOUR FAIR.

On September 1st, End and 3rd,
will occur the Williams County Fair:
Our Fair last season was decided
succ ess from every standpoint, and
whether or not our Fair this year will
prove the greater success that we
hope for, will depend upon the indi-
vidual efforts of each and every citizen
of our city and county: No one man or
group of men can hold a successful
County Fair. it takes the united efforts
of every citizen within the borders of
our county:
Those of US who visited the State
Fair this year, believe, came away
feeling that while they had no doubt
the best Fair in the history Of the
State, vet we feel more satisfied than
ever before with our own County Fair:
It is true that we must necessarily do
everything on much smaller scale
than they do at the State Fair for
numerous reasons, at the same time
taking everything into consideration,
we feel that after allowing ourselves
the handicap that we are entitled to,
our Fair is lust as great success.
Our agricultural exhibit was splen-
better this year. Preparation is being
made for additional space in the Ag--
ricultural Building that will be needed
this year. Our stock exhibit last year
was very good, but there is no reason
why we cannot make it very much
better this season. The management
is making arrangements for large
temporary structure for a show barn
for horses and cattle. and exhibitors
of stock will have splendid pluce to
show their animals. In no locality in
the state is there more pure bred
horses and cattle than in our own
county, and even though we may not
feel that we have the time to get this
stock in the shane we would like to
have it in the show ring, yet # we
are as loyal to our fair as we should
be, we will get this stock in AS good
shape as our time will permit, and
take it along to the fair. Even though
We may not in every instance take the
Arst prize, At the same time we are

the roads might have been worse
some time but he would hate to think
so. The heavy and continual rains

dition for enjoyable auto driving.

bors to do likewise-The Committee.

Why He Uses RIqht Hand.

Major George w. Powell. who is no.
toriously left-handed, writes with his
dexter hand, and is a fine penman.
YES" said the major, II write right
handed. and thereby hangs tale. I
was a school boy in eastern Indiana,
in a school where the master was q
rigid old Virginian. One day. at the
writing lesson, he noticed that was
following the copy with my left hand.
No more of that, my lad said the
master; you'll write with your right
hand or it will be the worse for you
THE next day, forgetting this
threat, was using my left hand at
the writing lesson. He yanked me
from my desk, drew my nankeen trou-
sers tight, very tight, over the seat
and gave me most cruel flogging,
the testimony to which l carried for
many days. When my father saw
these black and blue stripes on my
body he started out to find that Vir-
ginian. The schoolmaster had got
wind of his coming and disappeared
from the neighborhood, to be seen no
more. But l have from that day al

To Be Godfather to Many.

Emperor William is probably god
father to more boys than any other
person on earth. but he is so well able
to stand up under the strain that he
has issued an order that presently
will increase the number Of his pro-
teges.
The rule formerly has been that he
would assume the responsibility of
being godfather to seventh son, born
to any family, provided the boy was
seventh boy by one and the same
marriage. Under this ruling many
seventh sons have had to do without
the honor, because the mother had
been twice married.
The emperor now has modified the
rule and announced that he will be-
come godfather to any seventh son,
regardless of the number of mar
riages the mother has contracted, pro
vided all seven boys are living.

SURELY "PUT FOOT IN IT"
Dog, imprisoned in Bakery, Did Some
Damage In His Desire to DO
Released.

In Portland. Ore, there is bakery
window that usually contains tempt
ing array of cakes. Sponge cake,
pound cake, lady fingers, puffs and,
indeed, a dozen other kinds of sweet
bread, served to make the mouths of
the children fairly water when they
go past the big window. The other
day gentleman went into the bakery
to leave an order. and with him went
his dog--a good-sized animal. OF a
frisky disposition. When that gentle
man came out he shut the door behind
him, forgetting that he had left his
four-footed friend and follower inside
the bakery.
AS for the dog. he was in a great

dinarily described as crazy" In his
eagerness to keep track of his master,
he looked around for place of exit.
Now, one of the sashes in the big
show window aforementioned was
raised an inch or so, and the dog
therefore made dash for the window.
His first leap took him on top of a
fine, frosted wedding cake, and his
paws sank into it just as a boys
boots break through crust of snow.
Finding himself still in a trap. and
being unable to break the plate glass,
the dog began to hop around, with his
forepaws against the panes and his
hindfeet down among the precious
cakes. The more the people both with
out and within shouted, the more the
dog danced. and the more the rich and
ELECTROMAGNETIC products of the
oven suffered. Talk about putting his
foot in THE put his foot through
a cake at every jump At the height
Of the excitement the baker, who had
been away, entered. The dog saw the
door fly open. and, quitting the window
at a bound, he darted away. Moth
ing more was seen of the animal, who
probably did not know what havoc he
had made in the unfortunate bakers
window.

GRANDMOTHER" OF REVOLT

Nine. Catherine Breshkovskaya,
seventy-one years old, known as the
grandmother of the Russian revolu-
tion," has been exiled to Bulune, last
outpost on the icy frontier of the
North pole region. Only two political
exiles have been sent to Bulune, it is
said, in the last 20 years. For seven
months of the year the hamlet is cut
OF from communication, even by post,
from the outside world by arctic
SHOWS.
Then years ago Nine. Breshkov-
skaya visited New York and made ad-
dresses, including one at Cooper
Union, on Russian conditions. She
collected $4,000 for the revolution
airy cause, and it was said that that
was partly responsible for her arrest
and imprisonment in the fortress of
Sc. Peter and st. Paul.
There she remained for two and a
half years before being tried with
Nicholas Tschaikovsky, another revo-
iltionist. Meanwhile petitions were
