THE INDIANA PROGRESS. VOLUME 94. FsTETTER THAN EVER INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1907. NUMBBB 36 INDIANA A I TO BREAK ALL, RECORDS.

Town Full of aud Bla Alive with the Activity of: Tliose who Will Amuse and Feed Turonas of the Week-Displays In, and Ready for Inspection. Like all "good things, the Indiana' county fair grows bigger and better with age, and the fifty-first annual exhibition which opened yesterday promises to break all previous records the point of attendance and interest. The rain of Monday and Tuesday helped a lot by putting roads and streets in excellent condition for traveL Fair visitors began arriving Saturday and every train since has added to the hosts, and spite of the atmospheric conditions yesterday there was no let up in the preparations for entertaining aud caring for the crowds who are expected today, Thursday and Friday. Indiana has the best wet weather fair grounds in the state. The large grove is located on an eminence, which furnishes excellent drainage and then there is abundance of space under roof case a shower should fall upon the merry makers on the grounds.

General Harry White is busy overseeing the ox roast, which will supply the veterans of the county with meat rations today, Soldiers' Day, when the annual reunion of the Indiana County Soldiers' a i a i is held. All visiting veterans are requested to report at the Arbitration Room of the Court House at 9:30 clock for registration. A short concert by the Johnstown Reed Band will open the exercises at 10, after which the soldiers will be welcomed by Burgess James A. Grossman. A parade il 1 then be ormed, and, headed by the band the -veterans will march to the fair gjounds -where rations of roast ox, hard tack and will be served.

Admittance to the ground will be free to all soldiers who have registered and received their it to be a striking machine of a new design for the strong men from Punxsut- aney or any other place who produce Unnecessary coin and muscle. All in all, the entire lair is bigger and better than ever and residents of the county should take a day off and come to Indiana this week. BLACK HAND MAN DEAD A I I A I IULLS A A PERSONAL I I MANY REUNIONS HELD A I HELD- A. G. Johnston, of Creekside, was one of our Monday callers.

David E. Rodkey, of Leard, was a visitor in town on Saturday. H. W. Black, of Beaverdale, was an Indiana visitor last week, W.

R. Tomb and wife, of Armagh spent PAST AMJ I A A I I I The Round House will prove of more than usual interest this year, and for the first time in the history of the fair electric light is used in displays of Indiana firms in the building. The arrangements of exhibits is much the same as in previous years with the pyramid of flowers in the center, surrounded by the illuminating showings -of various exhibitors, it presents a pretty picture. Firms having exhibits in the Round House are W. R.

Loughry ladies and gents suits and furnishings; D. M. Caldwell Co, men's clothing and furnishings; The L. Pattison pianos, furniture and carpets: Work Son, pianos, organs and musical The Cunningham Co, men and boys' clothing, ladies suits; Mack's Department store, carpets, notions, and candy; H. G.

Moorhead, pianos, organs and sewing machines; H. H. Sieving, furniture and rugs; Porch Bros, musical instruments: Indiana Hardware Co, stoves, bathroom fixtures and demonstration of Moore's Air Tight Heaters; Appleby Peterson, stoves, hardware and paints; J. M. Stewart Co, hardware, paints and demonstration of security gravel roofing.

The second floor contains the fancy work and art exhib- its and displays by the Indiana Lumber Supply Co, The Indiana Business College, Singer Sewing Machines by Richard Grant; pictures by T. B. Clark, and a group of oil paintings depicting scenes along the Susquehanna river the vicinity of Cherry Tree when that region was famous for its lumber. Down in Horticultural Hall will be found a very creditable showing of farm products, considering the backward season This building also contains the croup of household utensils and farm implements owned by S. S.

Gibson, of town, which has been a feature of the fair for several years. Out in the stock sheds is the largest collection of sheep, cattle and hogs shown here for several years. This is due to the fact that competition is open to the world in several classes of this "department. Admirers of sleek cattle, good porkers and healthy sheep will find much to interest them this year. In the sheep sheds are eight Angora coats that have already become the center of interest for the boys and girls.

Among the local exhibitors in this department are W. T. Myers, Frank Winsheimer, S. W. Getty, W.

A. Evans and J. Dickay, of White township; George Black and J. M. Davis, of Center township; J.

N. Stewart, of town, and Keener Maxwell, of Slippery Rock. A stock exhibit of interest is that of A. M. Dickson Son, of Cochranton, county, who show a herd of 12 Red Polled Angus cattle, six Cheviot sheep, eight Angora goats and 13 Ozart swine.

These hogs are peculiar in that their hoofs are not split. They are alste cholera proof, none of the breed ever having been known to have the disease. The poultry sheds are full of barn- vard songsters of all the domestic varieties as well as a fine showing of came birds. Entries in this department have been increasing for several years and chicken fanciers can spend a pleasant hour among their favorites. An elaborate showing of heavy and light business and pleasure vehicles is shown by the Indiana Carriage Works, and various pieces of machinery of interest to the land tiller are grouped tnTrear of the Round House.

A number of new benches have been placed in the grove where the throngs chat and rest and watch the sport of others. On the Midway, the spot visited by the young and old, the grave and cay, are strings of tents whose mysteries will be revealed for a dime, and a range of amusements, both wierd and frivilous to meet the fancy of all. The merrv-go-rouud and its twin brother, the Ferris wheel, are there doing their their dizzy stunts, while further down the grounds is a group of swings which were kept moving by the boys in spite of the rain yesterday. In the center of the grove is a tall atert tower like that from which the high dive man makes his perilous leap, but examination showed p4pF.HRCHIVF.8tom Annual Meetluar of t.onnty Christian Kudeavorers Held at Keut.
