BIG VEGETABLE DISPLAY
PYTHIAN TEMPLE ON SOUTH EIGHTH STREET WILL BE CENTER OF ATTRACTION TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.
As in the Other Exhibits, Horse Show Is Competition For All. A FINE SHOWING PLACE
, The corn and produce show at the Knights of Pythias Temple, South Eighth street, will be in charge of Joseph Helms and Isaac Dougan, probably the two best known specialists in their line in this section of Indiana or Western Ohio. Mr. Helms has charge of the grains, while Mr. Dougan is chairman of the committee on fruits and vegetables. . The prises offered for the exhibits of eern are the best of the association $4.00 being offered for the best display of ten ears of white or yellow corn. Much Interest Is taken in the corn display by the farmers. Today It Is the principal product of Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio farms, and a good crop of corn means to the farmer a fat bank account. The price of corn controls the price of hogs and cattle, it is said by the growers. Farmers Are Interested. Since the corn school at Centervllle last year, the farmers have awakened to the importance of the crop, as being the staple of the farm. As a result of the Instruction given there, many a farmer Is an expert judge and will readily realize the strong and weak points of the corn display. The display, In fact, will furnish an Interest, ing study for him. , Whether tobacco Is a fruit or a vegetable or perhaps belongs to another "kingdom," is not known, but it Is listed as a fruit by the festival association. Probably this is the right place for it. Apples, pears, peaches, plums, grapes, qulncei and other fruits raised locally will be exhibited In profusion. The exhibit of vegetables offers a world of opportunity to the truck gardener. There are so many different varieties and kinds, that the list Is too long to give In these columns.
The horse show on North Tenth street, between Main and A street, is expected to be the hit of the festival. All styles, kinds and qualities of ermines will he exhibited and it will be

the prize winners. As the exhibit is open to the world, the display this year will surpass that of last year very greatly. The officials of the association are banking on the horse show as being one of the principal attractions, and in order to accommodate the crowd, have arranged for the construction of three tiers of seats on either side of the street. Admittance charge to these seats will be small, a price having to be charged in order that the association meet the cost of construction. The horsemen in the middle west are taking much interest ki the show. Undoubtedly a number of buyers and others who come merely for the purposa of Inspection will be present. A large number of these will bring horses for show purposes with them. That the horsemen are interested Is shown by the number who have offered prizes separate from those offered by the association.
DICKINSON
HONORED
The police prevented what is believed to have been a desperate attempt to break Jail on the part of Frank Townsend. the self confessed burglar of the Commons Dairy company, shortly after noon today. Otto Peters, a clcse chum of Townsend was seen to ' sneak around in back of the jail and get up on the roof where he leaned over and attempted to hold a conversation with Townsend. The person who witnessed this act heard Townsend hoarsly whisper, "get me some tools," then he immediately notified the police of what he had seen. Patrolman Vogelsong went back quietly and caught Peters in the act. He commanded the young man to come down and not to try to get away or he would shoot. Peters obeyed the summons and was taken into headquarters where he was closely questioned in regard to his actions. He is believed by the police to hav been implicated in several robberies that have taken place In this city recently and is accused by Townsend of havitia: been one of the party who. robbed the C. C. & L. freight cars wect of the city lately. Peters denies his guilt but it is thought ample evidence can be secured to convict him. Townsend and Loftus were taken to the county jail thlu afternoon. Townsend declares that if he is sent to the reformatory he will send a number of others there, also. In rounding up this noted court house gang the police have accomplished what they have been trying to do for years.

CONTRACT WAS LET. The county commissioners let the contract for the repairing of the jail windows to Harry Hodgin. The contract price was $130. Mr. Hodgin will begin work immediately in order that the work may be done before cold weather sets in. Mr. Hodgin was the only bidder.
There were a number of other contractors who had examined the plans and specifications, but made no bid. The job is more a tedious one, than a hard one,' as the bars1 of the windows have to be removed in order to put in the casings. It is believed that the improvement will make the jail very suitable for the bousing of criminals. It is certain that the institution can be run at less cost for heating as a result of the proposed improvement.
(American News Service) St. Johns, X. F. Sept, 28. Harry Whitney arrived here today on the steamer Jeanie. Whitney confirmed the dispatch recently received and acknowledged to the newspaper men that Cook told him of discovering the North Pole and bound him to secrecy to keep the news from Commander Peary. Whitney says Cook told him of the discovery last spring and gave details of the arctic voyage. He says Cook left no reports of writings with him unless they were placed in a box and without his knowledge. Whitney throws no additional light on the controversy but accepts Cook's word as a man of honor. Whitney is hurrying back to New York, where he will meet Dr. Cook. On board the Jeanie are innumerable trophies gathered by the young sportsman during his year's hunting in the far north. Whitney is in good health. He expressed regret that he had been compelled to cache the belongings of Dr. Cook at Etah because Commander Peary would not allow them on the Roosevelt.
