MORE EXHIBITS miii ever Known Indiana State Fair Will Surpass All Previous Attempts In Many Departments. - PROGRAM IS HIGH CLASS.
INDICATIONS ARE FOR LARGEST CROWDS OF HORTICULTURALI3T8 AND GENERAL PUBLIC IN HISTORY. Indianapolis, Sept v 5. Indications re now that there will be more exhibits in all lines at the Indiana State fair, this year, the week of September 7th, than in any other year since state fairs have been given In Indiana. Entries will not close positively until Au
gust 4 tin, DUl even now uie eei;rcia.i y of the board has 112 entries which it is puzzling him to take care of. All except the 112 ' received have been placed nicely on the fair ground plat. The 112 and others which come later will be taken care of, but the task of placing them is a perplexing one. Mr. Downing, secretary of the board is unable to account for this great increase this year. He believes, however, that the leaders among the producers of the different kinds of products are finding that the Indiana State Fair is a good place to advertise. Then, too, vast improvements at the Fair Ground and the high-class programs which have been1 provided by the State Fair Board give promise of a greater crowd than ever before and it Is believed exhibitors are taking this into consideration. "I am really surprised at the great number-of persons who are planning to have exhibits at the fair," said Mr. Downing. "I have just returned from the fair ground, where I made a careful survey and platted every foot of available space for exhibits. I hope by the greatest effort to be able o take care of all the entries, but I don't Jcnow whether I will be able to do it if they continue to come as they are coming now. It may become necessary to lease additional ground." Mr. Downing says that another noticeable feature is the great number of sew names among the list of those who have made entries so far. Exhibitors of whom the state fair board lias never heard before will have exhibits at the fair this year. In addition to the many new exhibitors, nearly all of the old ones will return, so that the total number of exhibits will be far in excess of that of previous years. Members of the State Board of Agriculture, however, are well pleased to see all entries coming in promptly. Entries will positively- close August 27th, so that those who propose to send exhibits to the fair have only about ten A A X
cays in wnicn to complete incir arrangements. In the past there have been many disappointments because those who desired to make exhibits did not send In their entries on time and therefore were left out of It. Members of the state board wish to impress on everyone the fact that entries
will positively close this year on August 27th, and members of the board hope that those who wish to send exhibits will not be derelict as has sometimes been the case in years past.

PUBLIC BENEFITED GREATER RAILROAD TAXATION' RESULTING FROM LEGISLATION MATTER OF COMMENT. The 2-cent-a-mile law in Illinois worked out badly for at least one railroad, though it stimulated travel enormously, the increase shown by the Chicago & Alton for 1907 being 12 per cent, 366,766 more passengers carried. The railroads of course, opposed the law vigorously, but vainly, declaring it would prove a hardship to them, but the answer generally was : "Your traffic will Increase so much that you will make money by the reduction." Theory was disproved by fact, It seems. The figures compiled by the Alton in getting at the result of the "2-cent-law" are interesting; the average passenger rate per mile for local and through business was reduced from $.0206 to $.0185, which explained a reduction of $208,783 in the net earnings. It is the opinion of railway officials that 2-cent fares have come to stay and they hope now to increase travel and decrease expenses, so that passenger business will become a profitable branch of railroading, instead of a "necessary evil." In the more sparsely settled states, even, it has been proposed that passenger fares be reduced, but that was during the heat of the argument concerning the authority properly delegated to the Interstate commerce commission in the matter of rates, which resulted in the Hepburn bill. The effect of that bill
it is now known, was more beneficial to the railroads than to the shippers, as passes and rebates were effectually stopped. This is peculiarly interesting, in view of the uproad made by the railroads concerning that bill, and the dire predictions their executives
made. The predictions served to scare investors and bring about condi
tions more expensive to the roads than they said the law would be. One effect has been a general and liberal increase In railway taxation in different states, which In many cases is regarded as more retaliatory than just. The railway tax commissioners will find their hands full for the next ten years.
OF LITTLE VALUE. Engineer Speaks Thus About Panama Canal. Chicago, Sept. 5. Isham G. Randolph, a well known civil engineer, has expressed the opinion that the Panama canal will be of little com
mercial value to the United States un
less we provide for the restoration of our merchant marine. He takes the
position that however great may be Its
value to nations having a large shipping, the United States will have little use for it unless it possesses the ships to pass through, it.

Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 5. With the closing of the Cosmopolitan National Bank, there followed serious charges against Bank Examiner John B. Cunningham, who made an examination of the bank with almost 50 per cent of its capital reserve intact and the bank In better condition than it was when the last report was accepted by the comptroller of currency. The bank was closed by order of the comptroller of currency. It is charged by E. A. Kitzmiller, vice president and Chas. A. Muhlbronner, a director, that examiner Cunningham was intoxicated when he
closed the bank and did not know what he was doing. Mr. Kitzmiller said he
will make an affidavit and prove it by
witnesses, that Cunningham was under the influence of liquor when he entered the bank and posted the notice. The officials also claim that the bank is perfectly solvent, which wll be proven. Robert Lyons was appointed receiver and, took charge. He was joined by F. P. Oldham, attorney for the comptroller of currency. Cunningham
has an excellent record having un
earned the Irregularities at the Enterprise National Bank and at The Farmers' and Drovers' National Bank, Waynesburg, Pa. President Kitzmiller, in the absence of John McClurg, the president said: "I can only account for the closing of the bank by the fact that Cunningham was drunk, and has been drunk for some time. His condition is known , to everyone. - It is common talk that only a few nights ago he fell down the steps of the DuQuesne club while drunk, and every time he visited the bank he was under the influence
of liquor. Cunningham had every appearance of being under the influence
of liquor." Mr. Kitzmiller's remarks were confirmed by others.
MINISTERS WILL DECIDUUESTIOIl Take Up Matter of Chautauqua Extension at Meeting Tomorrow Morning.
COMMITTEE TO REPORT.
SUBJECT OF CHANGE OF LOCATION ALSO SCHEDULED FOR ' CROSS FIRE EXAMINATION BY GENERAL BODY.
The Richmond Ministerial association will hold its business meeting at the St. Paul's Episcopal Parish house Monday at which time the question of continuing the time of the Chautau
qua to two weeks instead of ten days
will be considered. The special com mittee consisting of the Rev. R. J,
Wade, Revs. E. G. Howard, Conrad Huber, H. R. Smith and S. R. Lyons, will hold a meeting preceding the general meeting and formulate a report to be read to the ministerial associa
tion on the question. It is believed
by the association that the Chautau
qua should be held two weeks instead of ten days. The plan of having the
Epworth League of this district unite with the Connersville and Eaton, O., leagues and supervise the selection of the morning programs for one week and the teachers' institute do the
same the other week. . The new or
ganization would be called a religious
institute. It would not be denomina
tional in the selection of a program, but would be in the management, as the Epworth league is a social body of the Methodist church. This organization would also be permitted to have an afternoon and an evening speaker as the teachers' in
stitute now has during the 10 day
program. As to what the association
will do in regard to the Hawkins SDrings location proposition is not
known but it is thought that the ma
jority of the ministers favor this place
for the Chautauqua. The association will thresh out the question and will
appoint a committee to make a report to the board of directors of the Chau
tauqua.
The election of officers will take place at this meeting and a number of
other important matters will be decld ed on.

MIGRATION HAS TAKEN BIG SLUMP
Falling Off of Fifty Per Cent In Year.
Washington, Sept. 5. There was a drop of nearly 50 per cent, in the Immigration to this country during the twefve months just ended, as com-
i pared with the record breaking figures
for the preceding year. In the 12 months ending August 1, the aliens entering the United States numbered 782,970. Last year the total immigration was 1,285,348, the greatest in the history of the country. In 1906 it was 1,100,000 and in 1905 it was 1,026,499. The drop to less than 800,000 for the past 12 months is significant and has caught the eye of the authorities of this government and of foreign governments as well.
ELECTRIC HEADLIGHTS. Georgia Legislature Demands Such of Railroads. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 5. Like Texas, the Georgia legislature has passed a law requiring railroads to use electric headlights on the, locomotives of all
through trains. Representatives of
the railroads say that the law will be resisted as unconstitutional, on- account of non-compliance with theregulations relating to bills which are passed in one house and rejected in the other, and which subsequently are exchanged by one house or the other.
INTERESTING
VIOLIN
Acquired by Member of Concert Company That Played Here.
IT IS SAID TO BE GENUINE.
It will be a matter of interest to music lovers to learn that a genuine Guernarius del Gesu violin has been acquired by an American violinist, Miss Verna Page, and that it will be heard this coming season in concerts during the tour of The Ernest Gamble Concert Partyt"which has been heard here. One of the rarest and most costly violins in the world has come into Miss Page's possession. It was made in Cremona, Italy, the home of the master makers of violins during the golden age of violin making In the 17th and 18th centuries which Included such illustrious names as Amati, Stradivarii, Guarnarii, and GuadagIniL Kubelik and Fritz Krelsler have played this violin and were delighted with its wonderful resonance, smooth, oily tone and telling qualities. Ysaye also used it in seven concerts and all the great artists who have played it, pronounce it one of the rarest examples of Joseph Guarnarius' third and most successful period of violin making.

MONEY
WHY YOU MAY NEED IX After several months of "hard times," when work has been as scarce as it has been during the past ten months, almost every home, especially at this season of the year, is in need of a little ready money. Winter's supply of provisions, clothing, fuel, etc. must be laid in, and ready money is of two-fold advantage to you it buys your supplies at a less price and it starts you through the winter, out of debt to those with whom you deal. Again, it may be' that sickness, scarcity of work, etc., have caused you to accumulate a number of debts, which were unavoidable, but which must be paid. Your creditors need their money to use in their business, and, as you csm only give . each "a small amount each week, it will take you a long time to get paid out, and it will be an unsatisfactory way, both for you and the men you owe. How much more to your advantage it would be, then, if you would get the money and pay all these bills. The people you owe will appreciate it and, on account of your promptness in settling your account, will be willing to give you credit again, and you, yourself, will find it much more satisfactory to pay ONE place each pay-day, instead of SEVERAL. But, having decided to borrow money, the next question is WHERE YOU SHOULD) BORROW ET so that it may be had to the best advantage. How we answer this question for you is best seen by reading , CS OUR. GUARANTEE "On any kind oi a Chattel Loan, we absolutely guarantee to save you 25 per ceEfer onefourth, of the price charged you by any similar concern in the city, none except!" Do you know what this means to you, Mr. Borrower? It means a saving of from $5.00 to $10.00 to you on each loan, according to the amount you borrow. Is this worth your while f Then investigate and see what it means TO YOU. We loan money on all kinds of personal property, without removal, giving you such time and such payments as may suit you best. Our "little-at-a-time" plan of repayment Is sure to meet your approval. We also offer you in addition, liberal rebates for all unexpired time, extensions when you are sick or out jof work, prompt service, strictly confidential dealings and entirely satisfactory methods. As to what our guarantee means, you who have borrowed elsewhere can easily ascertain by deducting ONE-FOURTH from the price you have paid the other fellow; you, who have never borrowed, can see how much it Is to your advantage to deal with us, by getting our price, then the other fellow's. Then place your loan where your best interests may be served. "
