Is being ushered In today for a four days' session. "Give us fair weather and "we'll show you a bigger crowd and more enjoyable features than ever graced a county fair before," stated Fred Wheeler, secretary of the association, this year. Never before have such entries been made in all the lines and features on exhibi

tion, and the entire county Is represented by the articles shown. The racing: program commences tomorrow and a fine card of entries has been made up, which promises to more than equal that of any other year. An aged man by the name of Tracy died at the county farm on Sunday and was brought to Merrill & Linton's morgue to be prepared for burial. Very little is known of hTs past history, he coming: to the farm from the north end of the county some time ago. Charles Sonnerset, a Servian, who has been boarding at the Eckerly

He, however, has become too bent on showing his prowess with the weapon and after endangering the lives of people In the vicinity he was locked up by Officer Piatt. He was arraigned before Judge Nicholson and fined a good round sum. which will keep him In the bastile for some time. The hotels and boarding houses are catering to capacity houses already, with the fair only well started, and it begins to look as if the "bed and cot" proposition In vogue during the auto

The present weather !s hard on the buHdlng contractors, greatly delaying the big amount of building operations

Five extra policemen, several plain clothes men and one or two Chicago detectives will see that peace Is kept and the law unbroken during the fair week. The Chicago detectives will keep their eye on the suspicions characters who generally invade and follow up the county fair circuits.

(Special to Ths Times.) Cincinnati, Ohio. Aug. 20. That Mrs. Charles Radeloff soon will become a mother, that she shot her husband In

self-defense, and that she married Kdrl

ward Stoc&er of Gary, Ind., believing that she had been divorced were the

three features of the testimony of the woman accused of the murder of her

husband, Charles Radeloff here yesterday.

The killing of Radeloff took place at Rocky Tolnt bridge, nesr here, about 9

o'clock of the evening of April 4.

Mrs. Radeloff took the stand yesterday In her own behalf and In a straightforward statement laid bare her whole life. After having bean on

the stand for a few minutes it develop

ed that she was anout to become a

mother.

She testified that she was married to Radeloff about four years ago, when she was 18, and that she was driven

from home. She said that she return

ed to her mother at Gary, Ind., and while there received several letters from Radeloff, the last of which, she

said, told her that he had obtained

divorce, and believing the contents of

the letter to be tr,ue she remarried.

Other letters showed that she had been asked to return and- see If she

could not reconcile Radeloff and his

family. Still believing she had been

divorced she came to Cincinnati and by agreement met Radeloff at Stony Point bridge, near his home, and while there she, said she was told that they were

not divorced, that she finally was at

tacked and that she shot Radeloff In

self defense. Three minor witnesses followed Mrs,

Radeloff on the stand, all physicians.

and the defense closed.

Arguments will be heard tomorrow and the case likely will go to the Jury

tonight. It became apparent yesterday tha

the defense will rely solely on the

testimony of the accused woman.

when the time comes to make the fur fly. At this time, however, most of the speakers are preparing their campaign' matter and getting their business In shape so they can get away and devote their " time to speech-making. Scores of requests have been received from Chautauquas al lover the state for republican speakers for their political days, but the state committee has not been able to furnish them, even mor those worthy places. James E. Watson of Rushvllle, John

C. Chaney of Sullivan, Charles B. Lan-

dis of Delphi, Fred I. King of Wabash, Frank B. Tosey or Evansville and others have already started on speaking tours, and others are preparing to follow. Among those who are preparing to enter the campaign and take the stump are Judge Ed Jackson, Newcastle; James Wade Emleon, Vlncennes; Thomas T. Moore, Greencastle; James Bingham, Indiana-

polls; James A. Hemenway. Boonvllle;

Anderson Percifield, Nashville; Charles F. Remy, Indianapolis; Finley P. Mount, Crawfordsvllle; Henry M. Cay-

lor, Noblesville; L. B. Ewbanks, Indianapolis; James A. May, Alexandria;

John F. LaFollette. Portland, and. oth

ers. All of these men have volunteered

their services to the state committee and all will be used, along with many

others, in the state campaign.

There is scarcely a county In the

state that has not sent word to tne state committee that it will furnish one or more stump speakers for the campaign, also, in addition to those

mentioned above. Bo there will be no

dearth of speaking. The national

committee also will send In a number of prominent republicans to speak In

behalf of the national campaign. Put

the names have not been made known.

It Is understood that Emmet F.

Branch of Martinsville, former speaker of the Indiana house of representatives, will be placed in charge of the

state sneakers' bureau, and he will ar

ranee all speaking dates and assign

all of the speakers.

AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 20. The

first bull moose congressional conven

tion to be held in Indiana was the tenth district convention held Wednes

day afternoon at Rensselaer. John O,

ISowers of Gary was nominated for

congress. According to the dope here this nomination does not match up at all with what A. F. Knotts of Hammond said when he was here for the bull moose convention. Knotts is said to be the champion middleweight bull mooser of Lake county, and he announced while he was here that he would be a candidate for the nomination for congress in the tenth district, not because he thought he could be elected liit because he wanted to "skin" Congressman Crumpacker at the election. Just now it happened that Knotts was not- nominated at Rensselaer will not be known until all of the harrowing details are made public. But it looks like somebody put one over on Knotts. Other bull moose district conventions are to be held soon. The sixth, eighth, ninth, eleventh and twelfth districts, so It ia said, will make nominations in a short time. The seventh district also is expected to make a congressional nomination, but It is not known how soon the convention will be held. There Is loud opposition to congres sional and county nominations from bull moosers all over the state, and It Is regarded as certain that the decision of the bull moose bosses to force nominations all over the state will be the means of causing many weak republicans to decide to remain with the old party rather than Join in with a third ticket movement. " There is a great demand for republican speakers all over the state, and

the state headquarters have not been)

able to come anywhere near to supplying the demand. There Is scarcely

tin plate plant was opened in that city,

the orator of the occasion being Wil

liam McKlnley, at that time Governor of Ohio. Attending the opening of the nlAnt were prominent men from all

parts of the country, and the affair as eumed national importance.

The city of Elwood, September IS,

will celebrate the twentieth anniver

sary of the opening of the plant, and

it is expected that there will be vlsl

tors there from all parts of the coun

try. Many officials and rollers from

the Gary tin plate mills will attend

Many who attend the opening have ac

cepted an inltatlon to attend this meet

ing. The affair will be entirely nonpartisan and along civic and Industrial lines. The orator of the day will be Charles W. Fairbanks, former VicePresident, and one of McKlnley's close friends. Governor Marshall has promised to attend if possible. Mr. Marshall attended the opening but he was there merely as a spectator. Now he will go as Governor, and the nominee of his party for Vice President. All the officers of the tin plate company will attend and will be guests at a banquet at the Hotel Kramer , the evening of September 12. It Is expected that Daniel G. Reid, formerly of Richmond, one of the pioneers of the tin plate business In America, will be toastmaster. The city will be decorated for the occasion and during the day a great Industrial parade will be given. The commercial and manufacturing

bodies of Elwood have the affair in charge and the intention is to make it an event of national character.
