This is soldiers' and sailors' day at the Mercer county fair, and practical ly every veteran in either branch of the service in Mercer county, with many from outside, is in the city. The feature of the day was the address at 10 o'clock this morning by State's At torney Wayman of Chicago on "Sol diers In Time of War and In Time of Peace." Music by the Oquawka martial band helped recall to the soldiers of the 60's the stirring times of those days, the old tunes familiar in camp and on the march being played again and again. The veterans are guests of the man agement of the fair, being admitted to the grounds and the various attrac tions there free of charge. Thousands of visitors from the sur rounding country are here for the fair. The Burlington ran special trains from the east and west and the Rock Island Southern brought in hundreds over Its new line completed only last week.

THE OLD BANK .AT THE OLD STAND It is probable that the Illinois rail-1 road and warehouse commission may order 75 per cent of cars on every train in the state to be equipped with air brakes. In addition to the national law, there is a statute in Illinois which requires all railroad trains, freight as well as passenger, to be equipped with air brakes and automatic couplers. The act merely says that there shall be sufficient cars equipped to control the train, the actual percentage being lef to th commission. Railroad men, it is said, that is, those in the train ser vice, have asked the comomission to increase the percentage required, mak ing it as high aa 75 per cent equipped. It is said that 50 per cent air brakes on a long freight train Is not sufficient for absolute control, and that there must be considerable manual work on the part of the brakemen. There Is a counter opinion among railroad men that 25 or 30 per cent of the cars In any freight trains equipped with air brakes 1s enough to control. The ques tion comes up In long trains, where the momentum attained will not allow a strong grip on the speed with only 25 to 50 per cent air equipment. It la stated.
