Train crews of the Western Pacific Railroad report that not since the road had been in operation have so many deer been struck and killed by loco-1 matives as within the last month or' two. One engineer reported three killed in one week, while other engineers report that they have run down a number. The explanation seems to be that the new electric headlights on the Western Pacific engines bljivl the animals. Fall mushrooms of various edible species have made their appearance the "heagle heyes” of several fiends have already spotted the delicious fungus and several fine messes have been gathered. The fall species grows from the latter part of August until the last of October on the low grounds about the county and the next few weeks will find several “head-hunters” out on their annual expedition.

New cabooses are being installed over tlie entire Glover Leaf system owing to the new laws passed in Ohio and Indiana. The new laws forbid the use of small cabooses and boxcars such as are now being generally used by the road, making the change necessary. Tlie cabooses are being built at the shops in Frankfort and there are now ten of them in use on the various divisions of the road with the assurance that the entire number will be supplied before winter. Motion picture shows, photograph ers and even newspapers are likely to be seriously affected by the European war,all because Germany has taken the lead as a manufacturer of hydro cocane acid, and at present, is not shipping any to this country. Moving picture films are developed with its aid as are all photographs. Stereotype cuts for newspapers are made by its aid so there in a class of pictures which newspapers run which may soon disappear. It Is reported that the big Bathe picture firm company has suspended operations.

Erie officials at Huntiiggton have sent out a call for all the men they can get to assist in 4>.e repairing of cars of eastward shipment of grain. A large additional force is necessary. Employees laid off some time ago are also being taken back. The request for workingmen sent broadcast follows a slump in the working conditions of the Erie railroad. A number of months ago, numerous working men were temporarly dismissed from service, owing to the lack of labor. Now indications point to a resumption of heavy traffic. The report of the Pennsylvania Public Service Commission on fatal and nonfatal accidents on steam and electric roads operating in the state for the six month period in 1914, just issued, shows that there is a decrease in number as compared with the same period in 1913.

AUSTRIAN TROOPS ARE DENEATED BY RUSSIANS (CONTINUE® FROM PAGE ONE) for the poor marksmanship of the men. London, Sept. 2 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —With an enormous Brit ish force marching through Belgium via Osteijl to attack the German army in the northeast, and with French troops heavily reinforced and entrenched in an almost impregnable position In the outer fortifications of Paris, It appears from present indications that the great war drama in France Is about to come to a historic climax. Nothing but this brief announcement was permitted by the war office and as the censorship appears to be doubly strict it is assumed that both France and Enland are endeavoring to keep the movements of the armies under the utmost secrecy and that they have pinned their faith to this one great movement. With the Germans advancing slowly and the allies maintaining a solid front before tlie Paris fortifications the British hope to deliver a crushing blow with their rear attack. Paris, Sept. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The women interested in the relief work who visited the North railroad station were witnesses of the most abject suffering and cruelties among the Belgian refugees and the jtortures which the unfortunates had undergone were almost unbelievable. In many cases young boys had both hands severed so that they were unable to carry guns and everywhere was filth and desolation. Young babies were lying on the cold, damp cement floors, crying for nourishment, and mothers were vainly besieging authorities for milk and soup. The work being done by the Red Cross is excellent but they arc greatly hampered by the lack of facilitis. The French authorities are doing everything in their power to allay the suf sering but the funds at their command are insufficient. Washington. Sept. 2 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —A request has been received from Great Britain that the United States assume responsibility of their diplomatic relations in Turkey should war he declared there, and which now seems Impossible to prevent. Turkey’s entry into the conflict means the immediate alignment of Italy as well as Greece on the part of Great Britain. France. Russia, Servia, Montenegro and Rouinainia. Just what the attitude of Bulgaria will be is a matter of uncertainty, though the Turkish ambassador here gave out the statement speaking of the community of Bulgaria and Turkey. It is stated that the Turkish government will form an army of the first line composed of 200,000 men. o WILL BE A CANDIDATE. Washington, Sept. 2 —(Specitl to Daily Democrat) —“Woodrow Wilson will be a candidate of the democratic party for president in 1916.” Vice President Marshall declared today. “The democratic party will have but one candidate in 1916 aitd his name happens to be Woodrow Wilson. He will have the enthu/iastic, unqualified and united support of the party. All democrats will recognize that he is entitled to the second chance to prove the utility of his policy.” o For Wayne & Springfield Ry. Company. TIME TABLE. Northbound.
