Milton Fair No More.
Stockholder Vote to Go Into Liquidation.
At a meeting of the stockholders
of the Mikou Fair association held
at the Hotel Haag on Thursday
evening, at which all of the forty
shares ol stock except five were
represented, it was vcted to go in
to liquidation with but one dissent
ing ballot.
There are two reasons given for
this action First, the association
owns only half of the present
grounds, leasing the other portion
st what the association regarded as
an exorbitant annual rental. The
lease expires this year, and the les
sors were unwilling to make any
concession worth speaking of-in the
rent, and would not give the asso
ciation a lease for more than fivo
years. The buildings are all in
need of repair and it would cost
the association at least fifteen hun
dred dollars to make the necessary
repairs to hold a fair this fall and
at least three thousand dollars to
make the needed permanent im
provements. To do this on a five
year lease would have been an ab
surd business proposition.
Added to this feature was the
general apathy and indifference of
the people and business men of
Milton. Those who reaped the
most benefit from the annual meet
ings did nothing to support the
fair, while a great many of them
were chronic knockers. The di
rectors and stockholders, who had
their money invested in the enter
prise, and who gave it their time
and labor, without compensation,
btcame disgusted and decided to
quit.
The board of directors were em
powered to remove the buildings
and fences from the leased portion
and to arrange for the sale of the
real estate and distribute the pro
ceeds, together with the surplus in
the treasury, to the shareholders.
Loaded.
Judge W. L. Walls, of Cody.
Wyoming, has a sarcastic humor
which has made many culprits
squirm, and among the number
was a defendant in a recent cattle
stealing case who was trying to ex
plain that it would have been quite
impossible for him to bring into
town the beef he was accused of
having stolen and butchencl, ow
ing to the fac that his two pack
horses were heavily loaded with
othr things.
One horse, he had told the jury,
was packed with his fur overcoat,
miniig implements, etc., etc.
"And what was on the other
horse ?" inquired the judge. '
"Well, there was a callon of
I whiskey " The flustered de-
fenant could think of nothing else.
"I -knew a gallon of whiskey
was a load for a man," said the
judge dryly, "but i djdn't know it
was a load for a horse."

Will Plant Trees hy Thousands.
Pennty'i Exlanle Schema ot Reforetat on
Begun In Lancaster County.
An extensive scheme of refores
tation will be started in Lancaster
county this week by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad company. All
available ground along the low
pradc ft eight route, extending from
Shocks station to Parkesburg, will
be pl.inttd with red oak trees. For
a number of years the company ha.
been setting out locust trees, in or
der to provide for a future supply
of cross ties, ; .ml liun Iritis of acres
ot locust sprouts can be seen nlong
the company's routes at various
places.
Recently the company seemed
the services of K. A. Sterling as
forester, formerly one of tlu chiefs
of the United States division of for
estry, and he has urged upon the
company the planting of red oik
trees. The trees to be planted
along the low grade road are being
shipped from norther.ii New York.
Forester Sterling has arranged to
plant at 1-ast 200,000 sprouts along
the new road, and he will begin
work this week.
In addition the company will
have men go over the 300 acres of
locust trees near Martin's Forge
and pick out the dead ones. Sim
ilar work will be done in the big
chestnut groves in the same vicin
ity. The company also owns much
improved laiM along the low grade
road, and on this experiments will
be conducted in the growing of
other kinds of hardy trees.

fleet is again at home. It was form-1
ally greeted Monday as it entered I
Hampton Roads, by the pres'dent, I
the secretary of the navy, and a j
distinguished party aboard the ,
Mayflower, with all the elaborate
pomp ana circumstance tuat the
naval regulations could provide.
Wildly cheered by enthusiastic
thousands of men, women and
children, packed aboard all sorts
and conditions of water craft, gaily
decorated for the occasion 1 nd
hoarsely welcomed by the shriek of
whistles from steam vessels and
factories in the vicinity, the sixteen
magnificent warships 'with their
"homecoming" pennants Hying,
jauntily pushed along a channel
kept clear only with great difficulty
by topedo boats, and extending
over eight miles, from the tail of
the horseshoe, to the anchorage in
front of the Chamberlain hotel,
where other hundreds of excited
humanity, mainly wives, relatives
and friends of the 15,000 world
voyagers were banked in a solid
phalanx, and held in rapt attention
by the spectacle.
Got into Action Early.
Although the day opened with a
dense fcg at sea, that caused fore
bodings from naval men as we'.l as
sight-seers, the outlook did not de
ter the water craft from getting
into action early and by 8:30 a. tn.,
several newspaper and pleasure
boats, loaded to the gunwales,
rushed out to meet the Mayflower
and the fleet. The latter, which
had been "marking time" all night
off Cape Henry, restless to get into
action, received the order "Go
ahead" early in t'ae morning from
Admiral Sperry's flagship. Before
the Mayflower was sighted, the
ships were ordered into single col
umn. It required au hour and a
half for them all to pass the presi
dent's yacht.
Continuous Salute
It was a wondrous aud thunder
ous announcement given of the
home coining, when the Connecti
cut, the flagship of Admiral Spcrry,
sigatei the Mayflower, whicfi had
taken its anchorage at the exact
I pot frjm which the president had
j bid the ships fare Will on their out
1 ward voyag-'. A salu e began that
li'.ii iio'. cone. Hue, unti th hutt-hip
had passed the president's boat.
Twenty-ove guns, fired from each
one of the sixteen ships, and so
timed that before one ship ceased
firing, the next took up the salute,
fairly made the heavens roar, while
from the distance came tha thut
derings from the big squadron of
Admiral Arnold that had steamed
out to act as an escort of honor
until near the spot for the formal
reception. President Roosevelt
viewed the ships with a critical, but
pleased eye, as the long lino steam
ed gracefully by.
. Jackiks on Parade.
Before each ship neared the
Mayflower, and while the guns
were belching out their discordant
greeting, the rails were manned by
the blue jackets, who stood side by
side, each one with his hand rest
ing upon the shoulder of his com
p iniou, and facing the president's
yacht. The officers paraded in
special full dress and the marine
guard, presented arms, while the
band played the "Star Spangled
Binner." With binoculars in one
hand, which he frequently used
and his top hat in the other, which
he almost constantly waved in the
a r. the president apparently en
joyed the spectacle to the utmost.
President Addressed Men.
As the last ship passed the May
flower fell in behind and in sched
ule time passed between the lines
made by their formation at anchor
age in front of the Chamberlain.
The president received the admir
als and flag officers of each ship on
board the Mayflower at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon and in an address
warmly congratulated the com
manding officers and through them
the men for their wonderful accom
plishment. Following this, the president
and secretary of the navy, visited
each flagship and in like vein, the
president addressed the flag officers
and chosen representatives of each
ship assembled for that particular
purpose.

Will Liberty Jiell Split.
Ths Most Famous ol America's Relict Mar BV
Doomed
Is the Liberty Bell, most famou
ot America's historic relics, doom
ed to split i 1 two? Will the tri
which is planned for it lo the fa
Northwest prove to be its final un
doing ? These are questions whict
are being seriously asked hy tho
closely associated with the bell ao
its history.
Since the time of its ringing tbt
original crack in the bell has growr.
seventeen inches in length. Tbt
new crack extends from a point
midway between the rim and the
crown to a center of the crown. It
is said that the new crack ha
grown a little in extent each that;
the bell has made a trip.
The old crack has been drilled
out and is easily discernible, white
the new crack is but faintly out
lined, and the observer must look
closely to see it.
The bell cracked in 1835 when
tolling for the funeral of Chief Jus
tice Marshall. This crack began
at the lip of the bell, where the
metal was three inches thick, and
extended toward the crown, a dis
tance of twenty nine inches. The
crack was after drilled out with the
hope that the bell iould be rung
nithout further splitting it and
still hold its tone. Since then it
has never been tolled, but grade
ally the original crack has length
ened until now it is forty-six la
ches long.
