CUT OUT SPEAKING. When the grocers got to Fairview park they decided that as the hour was late, due to -waiting at the Wabash station for the Danville visitors, they 'uld cut out the speeches. It had intended to have an address by President Dan Dinneen and a welcoming address by Mayor Shilling, but it was thought, rather than cut out some of the athletic sports later In the day. it would be better to omit the speak-, ing. SORE.

The grocers were astonished and some of them were angry to see that F. M. Kelso, who has the refreshment privilege In the park, had in addition to his stand in the pavilion, set up two big stands in the park. One was 32 by 16 feet In size, within ten feet of the opening made in the Catto property, where the grocers had their refreshment and other stands. It will be remembered that the grocers for several weeks tried to get permission to sell refreshments in the park and a i i in that, secured the Catto land adjoining.

Mr. Kelso's other stand was on the south side of the park, just west of where it had been intended to have athletic events. MORE OUT OF PARK. The grocers decided when they saw Mr. Kelso's stands that they would put everything in the Catto property that they could and not have any events in the park except the balloon ascension and the wheelbarrow race.

It was freely declared that i would be the last time the grocers would have a picnic anywhere near Fairview park. RAIN. At 2:30 in the afternoon it was raining pretty hard at the park, but those in charge said that everything would be pulled off If possible. The first thing on the program was the sketch team. Just before they were ready to begin their entertainment some boys stole the soap and rope STRIKE HELPS THE Hauls Many Cars of Stock to Independents.

H. D. MEN ALERT. Want to Show Inspection Party Some Things. The packing house strike is making business for the Wabnsh.

This may appear paradoxical at i but it is really the case Where the railroad comp a handled dressed meats before it now handles live stock. Since it takes five cars of live stock to make one car of dressed meats the road is handling five cars of stock where it handled one of meat. The stock is coming from the west and Is going to Toledo, Cleveland, Indianapolis and smaller places. chers who formerly got their meat the big packing companies are now doing their own butchering The independent packing companies In I i a apolis a.nd other places are increasing their output and all of this contributes to increase the live stock shipments. The Wahash is one of the few railroad companies i i by the strike.

The Burllngrton, Rock Island and other roads which handled the stock for the big packing houses, as well as the linos i carried much of the dressed meat to the, east are i greatly in their business.

The reason for this decision was not much the fear of an injunction after .11 arrangements had been made as the lesiro not to give anything to which nany business men objected.

By in- uiry, the Eagles found that many of he business men were opposed to the arnival idea and would much rather ass up the carnival and lose what rade such an altalr Is supposed to 'ring. The committee passed a vote of hanks to the mayor and their friends the council before adjourning. Only one man voted no on the mo- ion to give up the idea. He was W. lawley, who has so far done practical- all the work of soliciting.
