Extended the Time. "Owingto the change being made !in the gas line from the old to the new field all the consumers may expect a light shortage of gas for at least two weeks, which time it ; will take to make the change and to connect up the new wells to the; line now being laid. As soon as; the new line is laid jindj the wells ' connected we expect to give better ; service, by far than that given dur- ] i ing the past two years. The company’ now has meters on hands it is urgently’ requested that all persons who expect to use gas this winter ; will leave their order for a meter at once so that the eonijumy may be able to make orders in advance I to the manufacturers for what meters we may need for other con- j sumeis. Wo are paying a bonus to the manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our patrons at once and it is very hard to get an order, for the demand on the inanu- - facturers is so great that their capacity is almost exhausted. All the gas companies located in the gas belt have been driven to the meter system in order to supply their customers. We being some 42 miles from the gas field'are driven to force the gas such a long distance, requiring the best class of pumping ' machinery and from 800 to 1000 horse power steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our custom- - 1 ers with gas that it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. Owing to the scarcity of meters ■ and the slowness of the manufacturers to supply our orders we have extended the time for consumers to supply’ themselves with meters until November Ist. After that date gas will lie sold only’ to those people who have the meters. This matter refers to consumers in Deca- ' tur. Monroe, Berne and all others along our line J. S. Bowers. i For Sale—One 8-horse power . boiler and engine and feed pump. Inquire at the Decatur Steam .

Nir.on Testifies That Schwab Was 0;i Lockout For Number Jae. Further Testimony In Wrecked Shipbuilding Company Affairs Puts Things in Bid Light. How Schwab Opposed Plans Look ng to Safety and Demanded Personal Protection. New York, Oct. 23.—Lewis Nixon was again called to the witness chair at the hearing before an examiner of the United States Shipbuilding case, - and gave much valuable testimony covering the finances and general affairs of the corporation. He testified that he had opposed the Sheldon reorganization plan, and had as a counter proposition urged that the stock be assessed in order to 'raise the amount necessary to save the combij nation from default and bankruptcy. His plan of assessment was opposed by Charles M. Schwab, holder at that time of $20,000,000 of the stock who, | according to Mr. Nixon, declared that 1 the stockholders would not pay the assessment. Mr. Schwab, so Mr. Nixon swore, declined to put up any more unless the Bethlehem bonds were given preference as a lien upon the shipbuilding' plants to the first mortgage bonds. | Mr. Nixon’s testimony also devel-; eped the fact that there was a wide ! discrepancy as to estimated earnings in letters written by Treasurer Gary to members of the reorganization com-, mittee am'. Samuel Untermier. conn-! ■ sei for the bondholders, asked if it i did not show that there has been an attempt to minimire the value of the • shipyards an 1 magnify the value of . the Bethlehem plan;, but the wi’ncss would not say so. ■ Much tin e was taken up with an unsuccessful effort to get at the history of a mysterious check for $250.1 000 found at the Trust Company of the Republic. It was drawn to ’’Lewis ) Nixon or ourselves'’ on the same day the checks were made out for the payment of the cash given to the vendors for their plants and property. Mr. Nixon swore that he had never seen the check before and that he knew nothing of its history. Both •ides disclaimed knowledge of its his-

tory anil the destination of the amount I of money for which it was drawn, an I the only explanation offered from any source was that it had been made out by mistake and had simply been put through the banks by the Trits' Com peny of the Republic. The effort to I get the history of the cheek will be renewed later In the hearing. Mr. Nixon testified that be knew ;.s early as last April that unless the < ombinntion could got some money from the Bethlehem property or else where it must fail, and warned his as sot dates on the directorate that they r.iust husband resources. It was brought out on cross-examination that the share of promotion prof s set aside for Mr. Schwab, of which Mr. Nixon told, had never been paid None of the commitments on account of promotion were paid, so Mr. Nixon testified. HAS ENOUGH COIN No Mor. Silver Needed for Monetary Uss in Philippines. Wasnluglon. Oct. 23. — Governor Taft has cabled the bureau of insular affairs of the war department that the Philippine commission intended to indicate by previous cables, relating to the supnly of silver, that the policy of making no further purchases is permanent.

A careful estimate by a government expert after an ex amination of the archives sa'isfactori ly shows that the amount of such Spanish-Filipino silver coinage in the ■ Islands is from 10 to 12 million pesos Insurance Company Insolvent i Springfield.
