'. ft Slf- FAIR SUCCESSFUL 1*14 SHOW AT SPRINQFELD IS ^#ROUOHT TO A CLOSE WITH ' THRILL • LAST DAY'S ATTENDANCE GOOD Awarding to the Board of Agriculture Over Three Hundred TWupirf Persons Attended Exposi­ tion During Week. Springfield.--With the auto races and airship flights to furnish a thrill for the crowds, the 1913 Illinois state fair concluded the ten-day program and closed Its gates. The last day. was perfect from morn­ ing t<> eight. Just a tinge in the air to give a cooling effect and a bright shining sun to make the outdoors comfortable. The rae© track was in perfect con­ dition and the 30,000 people who at­ tended th® fair to be with it on the last day spent the afternoop about the mile course watching the racing events. DeLloyd Thompson made t.wo flights during the day, one in th© morning, when he gave another exhibition of his daring and performed a series of spirals that brought the applause from the crowd of spectators. In the afternoon Thompson raced with a speeding auto and because of the crowds in the center field had dif­ ficulty in alighting. He was kept in Che air longer than he intended and finally made a landing. The attendance for the week was announced by the board of agricul­ ture and was about on a par with last year. During the week 333,000 people attended the fair. The daily attendance was as follows: Friday, Oct. 3 16,000 Saturday, Oct. 4 v........ t 17,000 Sunday, Oct. 5 20,000 Monday, Oct. 6 85,000 Tuesday, Oct. 7 85,000 Wednesday, Oct. 8,.v 60,000 Thursday, Oct. 70,000 Friday, Oct l6 60,000 Saturday Oct. 11.; 80,000 | Total 833,000 The sensational parachute drop has not yet been seen in Springfield. Al­ though it was announced that the events would be held on the last day, no attempt was made. C. D. Pickens, booking agent for the aviators, stated that the full program would be given as per schedule. MISB Stinson was in costume ready to fly when she re­ ceived word, she said, that she would not be allowed her contract price for the flight because her contract expired Priday. The fire department made only one little run during the week. It was when a fire started in a tent. It was extinguished without any damage be­ ing done. The shooting near the eiwt gate, when a policeman killed a man em­ ployed about the horse barns was the Only serious blot on the success of the fair. There were no serious accidents or fatalities before this one, and it was a most regrettable affair. "Wild Bill" Endicott furnished a thrill in the auto races when racing with the aeroplane. He was not seri­ ously hurt, however, and his machine but slightly damaged. Miss Stinson, the plucky aviatrix, made two flights at the fair under most unfavorable conditions. Ahtrivy Man President. The organisation of "Ex-Members" Of the state board of agriculture has been perpetuated. At a meeting in the office of President J. T. Montgomery of the state board of agriculture, officers were ^elected and plans made for the promotion of the organization. Lafay­ ette Punk of Blooming ton was named ,president.

Auten, William Young and Charles F. Mills. Liquor Fight Is Planned. That 400 delegates from all parts of Illinois, here to attend the Btate W- C. T, U. convention, will promote a state­ wide campaign against saloons was made evident when the executive com­ mittee planned these two lines of work: To push the organization of more unions in every county and to form in each union a corps of active workers to get the temperance vote out at the polls. • County superintendents made re­ ports of the situation in their counties and of work to be done. The plan thrashed out in executive session will be presented to the convention, and MieB Helen Hood, the president, is con­ fident of Its adoption. Along the same line was the discus­ sion in the state meeting of the evan­ gelistic branch, where methods of mul­ tiplying the unions were considered. The speaker was Miss Mary L. More- land. Points that would help Gales- burg and other cities in their fight also were presented. The Loyal Temperance league held its state gathering and was addressed by Miss Maude Best of Nekoma, Wis.; MIBS Catherine Cook of Chicago, aad Miss Nellie Bolton, state secretary, all along the line of further organization. Many Will Get Jobs. Senator Kent E. Keller of Ava, one of tie Democratic leaders of southern Illinois, arrived- in Springfield with tidings that the party inj^this--state will get 23 United sfateB con#ularships, now held by Republicans. Senator Keller brought his advice di­ rect from Secretary of State Bryan, with whom hcv was ip conference. The 'senator called attention of the premier to the fact that there are 23 consuls from the state of Illinois holding posi­ tions from $2,000 to $10,000 each and that the Democrats of the state are anx­ iously awaiting the distribution of the plums. "Mr. Bryan told me to have our fel­ lows get their candidates rounded up and examined at once, after which he wiH 866 to the appointments are made." According to Senator Keller's infor­ mation, the distribution under the Democratic plan will be largely by congressional districts, although there are only 23 appointments and 25 dis­ tricts. At the present time 18 of the places are filled by residents of Cook county, one from Springfield, one from Galena and two from Kankakee. Illlnoie Corporations.

CITY OF MEXICO. ¥3 WILSON DAZED BY ACTION President Notifies Officials That U. •» Will Look With Displeasure Up** any Injury to Deputies Now Under Arrest. DEVELOPMENT OF 100 YEARS itard for tha Mind, to Imagine tilt ' Progress Mads by ths Railroads ' • in That Tims. A reminder from Railway and Loco­ motive Engineering by way of the Literary Digest indicates that in these days of celebrations we have overlooked one of the most important of all, being the perfection of the first locomotive to the point of doing vsgular train hauling. This historio eyeut took place in 1813. It is not the centenary of the event, 4>ut rathe* the consequences Washington, Oct. 16.--A message from O'Shaughnessy to the state de- department on Saturday brought con­ firmation of the death of Senator Domingues, whose body was found in the woods of the suburbs of the Mex­ ican capital. He was arrested upon Huerta's or­ der In September for delivering a fiery speech in the Mexican senate. He disappeared soon after his arrest. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan regard the assassination of Sen­ ator Dominguez as parallel with that of former President Madero. The news wao astounding and dased the president and secretary of stata. Both believe that Senator Domlugues was murdered because of his political stand and, while they have no proof, they feel that Hperta is at the bottom of the murder. A telegram received at the state department states that no harm has yet befallen the hundred deputies, all of whom still are in prison. The dis­ patch did not Indicate a possibility of their being released any time soon. Mr. O'Shaughnessy repeated his warning that the deputies stand in Imminent danger of losing their lives because of their political faith and the fact that they oppose the admin­ istration of President Huerta. Immediately after a conference be­ tween Secretary Bryan and President Wilson relative to Charge O'Shaugh­ nessy's message it was announced at the White House that telegrams had been dispatched to both John Lind at Vera Cruz and Charge O'Shaughnessy at Mexico. City to make representa­ tions to the Huerta government that the United States would look with displeasure upon any injury to the Mexican deputies now under arrest- Germany's decision to dispatch a warship to Mexican waters attracted wide attention in official circles here. No intimation had been received here of Germany's Intention and President Wilson was informed only by press dispatches of the action. No formal comment was made on the incident, but it was apparent that the Washington government was not displeased. The sending of a Ger­ man warship is In line with the^olicy of other European governments, which have had vessels cruising on the Mex-. lean coasts from time to time during critical moments in Mexico. No change in the attitude of.this country was announced, but President Wilson and his advisers are debating what the next step should be. President Wilson told callers thst*> with the present state of affairs, he did not see how a constitutional elec­ tion could be held in Mexico. w tug vu<o a ..J r ouitiul. iii&rveiouB girdling and cross-section­ ing of the earth with railroads within the period of 100 years, that chal­ lenge reflection. The latest compiled statistics give the total capital cost of the railways of the world at ap­ proximately $56,000,000, and their mileage in round numbers at 500,000 miles, nearly half of which is in the United States. A hundred years of railroad bui|d!ng embraces this al­ most inconceivable magnitude of con­ struction, and constitutes the princi­ pal fact in the century's complete revolution of human Industry and -s»ay of living.

COAT MODELS LOVELY IOST ATTRACTIVE, PERHAPS, OF SEASON'S GARMENTS. IS BEST HEADLIGHT SIGNAL MILITANT FLEES FROM P0UCE Dragged From Hall as Suffragettes With Bsnehes snd Chairs S#» verely Battle Officers. London, Oct. 15.--After a fierce struggle the police arrested Miss Sylvia Pankhurst at Bow Neaths, in the east end* of London, where she was making a speech. But when they got her outside the building, with the intention of placing her In a taxi- cab and rushing her to Holloway jail, the militants attacked the police so savagely they had to let her go and she escaped. Miss Pankhurst, who has an un­ completed term of imprisonment to serve, was not recognized until she threw aside the disguiBe which en­ abled her to elude the police and en* ter the building. She had been speak­ ing only a few minutes when police with drawn truncheons, entered the hall and made a rush for the plat­ form. The audience arose and chairs be­ gan to fly, the invaders being the ob­ jective point. Some df the people in the galleries even dropped benches on their heads. The police succeeded in dragging Miss Pankhurst down to the floor of the house. Concentrating the attack on the po­ licemen who had the militant leader in their grasp, the women, with the assistance of several men, succeeded in tearing her from their grasp and she slipped away. Miss Zelie Emerson of Jackson, Mich., whose imprison­ ment caused such a furore several months ago, was one of those Injured Postpone Alleged Dynamiter's Csss. Indianapolis, Oct. 15.--The hearing of H. W. Jones, secretary of the Structural Iron Workers' union, ar­ rested, charged with conspiracy in connection with the dynamiting cam­ paign, was postponed until Nov. 6. Young Couple Killed by Trsln. Fort Wayne, Ind-, Oct, 15.--Herbert Voors, twenty-six, and Loretta Reiling, twenty-five, were ^nstantly killed when a buggy in which they were driving was struck by a Fort Wayne ft Northern Indiana traction car. Ad Wolgast Bests Nelson. Milwaukee, Oct. 15--Ad Wolgast of Cadillac, Mich., defeated his old rival. Bat Nelson of Hegewisch, in decisive style. Although there are no de­ cisions given here, it was plain that Wolgast was the winner. Find Body of Inventor. Amsterdam, Oct. 15.--A body be­ lieved to be that of Di\ Rudolph Dle-1 sel, famous inventor, wno disappeared from a steamship about a fortnight ago, was found at the mouth of the Scheldt river. Supreme Cburt Convenes. Washington, Oct. 15.--The Supreme court convened for its fall term, ad* journed and paid its customary visit to President Wilson at the White House. Next Monday will be the first decision day Invention by Which Colored Slides Can Be Operatsd by Engine- man In Cab. At first glanoe It seems that the Washington man who Invented the headlight signal shown in the illustra­ tion had hit upon something of prime importance. Situated In the front of the headlight and just a little below it is a casing containing a series of colored glass slides. Air pipes leading from the caboose of the locomotive to the base of this casing operate ths All Sorts of Designs Ars Offered, and All Are Worth Attention--Velvet One of the Most Popular of Materials. No fashion theme is more interest­ ing this season than that of coats. At every turn one is confronted with new and attractive models. There are lux­ urious evening coats, artistically sim­ ple, or gorgeous, rich and elaborate designs, and each day brings to view new models. But whether fashioned from velvet, satin or cloth, the really successful ooats are exceedingly love­ ly. Much velvet Is used for evening ooats, and for afternoon and visiting wear as well, and for practical pur­ pose monotones are preferred. Some­ times fur supplies a contrasting note herringbone effects in monotone, or two-tons effects are eoiiaStl'ifed sraiM'- ter thnn more ?ggres3ivc patterns, al- antong the ready made models. The motor coats this season sr# more shapely and less bizarre than those of earlier years. MARY DEAN. ; Turn Headlight Red or Qreen. slides and by means of these pipes ths englneman, from Ms ssat in the qab» can turn the rays of his headlight from white to red or green by merely propelling a red or green slide, as the oase may be, into place in front The ability of the englneman to flash such signals at^an Instant's notice Is far reaching In its effects and only a rail­ road man can realize how Important it is. Eastern Shepherds. The shepherds of the east--those to be found in such countries as Pales­ tine, Arabia and Persia--differ entire­ ly from their brethren of the west, says the Wide World magadne. They are a class apart; even their dress is unlike that of the peasants of the land in which they live. Their shoes are of the roughest description, almost cir­ cular in appearance. They wear an outer garment of bright colors, woven from camel's hair and without seams. Being square and sleeveless, this gar ment flts any size of man, hanging in picturesque folds from the shoulders. A kerchief for the head, tied in two black rings of rope and wool, com­ pletes the outfit. In the winter, how­ ever, the eastern shepherd takes an undressed fleece, which he girds about his limbs, when he appears more than ever like a member of his own flock. Unlike the shepherds of the west, these men lead their flocks, this cus­ tom having arisen through the absenoe of roads and sheepdogs. No Plsce for Postmen. The new postman was called before the office superintendent for a repri­ mand. "You were seen loitering In the neighborhood of that big fire down the street," the superintendent said. - "I only stopped a minute," the man pleaded, "and I was already eight min* utes ahead of schedule time." "It is not a question of time but safety," the. superintendent replied. "The last place on earth a postman can afford to loiter Is in the vicinity of a big Are. On the contrary he ought to make a detour to avoid it "By neglecting that simple precau­ tion more than one postman haB had his leather bag drenched by a stream from the hose and a lot of ruined let­ ters charged to his conscience If not to his pocketbook." Point Often Overlooked. An invalid, driving down Fifth ave­ nue some years ago, stopped at a house. Two girls came along, lively, but not rich girls, ^hey looked at her horses, and she heard one say to the other, "Oh, if I only had such horses!" As she heard It, she called those girls to the carriage. "You will pardon me, but I heard what you said. Now," she added, "I want to tell you, I will give you the horses and the carriage if you will give me the strength to walk up Fifth avenue that yon have."--Ex­ change. Motor Cars as Auxiliaries. British railroads use motor cars In calling for and delivering freight and they alBo endeavor to increase their passenger traffic in parts of the coun­ try which their rail lines do not reach by means of road-motor sendee.

References. "How about references?" inquired the mistress. "Oh, I loike your., looks, mum," said the applicant for the position of house­ maid, "an' I wont aak*yer for refer­ ences." 1u BENEFIT IN POWDERING HAIR Adds Greatly to Appearance of Yeutter fulnese. According to Woman Who Has Trlsd It. , : - , r* A society woman whose dark, ffuffjT hair was beginning ta get gray ordf her forehead and about her ears was depressed by the aging look this gave her. "It's becoming to some women, bat not to me, though I think my hair when it gets more gray will be Very becoming.

And a few evening wraps show touches of gleaming gold, silver or copper hued lace. A dark copper color velvet coat trimmed with a broad band of heavy metallic lace In copper tones and with dark brown fur that is almost black was one of the best French models seen this season. There is an exquisite shade of rose with a silvery tone, which is a favorite with the Parisian coatmakers and is lovely in velvet, satin, crepe or cloth. Black relieves this rose Bhade with excellent effect, and it Is good too, with gray. It has been successfully combined also with embroideries in shaded violet and purples Such a scheme, however, demands unerring color sense. Attractive coat models of the plain­ er class are made up of striped vel­ veteen with collar and cuffs of plain velvet and there are also good looking practical coats fashioned from wool velours In plain colors. An example, shown In one of the Bmall sketches is in red brown wool velour and has satin collar and cuffs. It Is trimmed down the front with passementerie motifs. The sleeves are on the rag- Ian lines and have a draped fullness at the lower part Top coats of dark blue rough serge are extremely modish and are best when relieved only by black revers and cuffs. The vivid colors intro­ duced^-upon some models cheapen their appearance, save when they are intended for very youthful wearers. A good looking coat in seven-eighths length, of rough dark blue diagonal weave, has a shawl collar, cuffs and buttons of black ottoman silk. An­ other coat, on Russian smock lines, without belt. Is braided around the edge. Instead of buttons it is fasten­ ed with tied cords of flat loose woven braid run through big embroidered eyelets.
