WNEW SALARY

RIAL CARRIERS CARRIERS OUT OF RICHMOND WILL NOT BE BENEFITTED TO ANY GREAT EXTENT Schedule Arranged by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. The New Salary Law. The new salary law for rural carriers goes into effect July 1. After that date the carrieers wil not be allowed to carry bundles or newspapers, or anything for hire. The mat ter of salary for the carriers has been a matter of discussion for a long time, and we do not believe the increase will be an increase after all. Fourth Assistant .Postmaster General Bristow has had the matter under consideration for some time, and has arranged a schedule of salaries to fit the contingncy made by the different length of routes. Under the old system, a carrier having only eighteen or nineteen miles to travel would receive the same salary as one traveling twenty-five or twenty-eight miles, the maximum alary being but $G00. Under the schedule arranged by the fomrth assistant postmaster gencarrier traveling from twenty-three to miles is to receive $720 per annum; a carrier raveling from twenty-three to twentyrfour miles will receive $702; from twenty-two to twenty-three miles, $684; from twenty-one to twenty-two miles, $666; from twenty o twenty-one , miles, he will receive a alary of $6 rni eighteen to twen- & ty "miles $612 t:t romrxfeetoigt 'teeri Mies $576; from fourteen to sixteen miles, $540; from twelve to (Continued on Page Five.) FIRST CONCERT OF HASKELL INDIANS WAS VERY FINE BUT THE ATTENDANCE WAS ONLY GOOD MUSIC WAS EXCELLENT

k And he Band's Work is WonderfulFinest Band Ever Heard in This t ' City, is the Verdict.

Despite the rain earlier in the even ing and the threatening appearance ( of the sky, promptly at eight o'clock j the Haskell Indian Band begun the ' first piece on the program. The entire . band was seated in the new platform projecting from the stand proper, mounted on tiers of seats,and the brilliant uniforms made a fine picture, with the dark background and he lights in front. . That he band can play prettier music than almost any other ever heard in this city before, not even excepting the German Marine Band, is a foregone conclusion, after hearing one selection played by the Indians. The band is simply superb. No other word can describe if, and the audience which had sat breathless during the rendition of the first piece, and which was forming a verdict on the band, broke into thunderous applause after he first piece. The verdict was favorable, and the band "caught" at once. "Bohemian Girl," "Robin Hood," etc., are among some of the selections played and give a fairly accurate idea of the kind of music which the band plays. Mr. Wheelock led the band in an excellent manner, tlve music rising and falling in perfect w (Continued on eighth page.)

1 HAPPY Are the Clerks Because they Are Not Discharged. The clerks in the local Pennsylvania shops are happy over the fact that their number remains the same, none having been dismissed from service as a result of the policy of retrenchment which the road has adopted, and the latest move of which is to reduce the force of clerks. It was feared that local clerks might be "laid off" but fortunately for them, they were not. KNIVES Sold in Numbers for ' 'Mumble-te-Peg." Hardware men in this city are surprised at the number of cheap knives sold lately, all to small children. The old game of "mumble-te-peg" is the popular one now and the children who are not the possessors of knives for the playing of this game are doing their best to get one. On every patch of grass a cump of children, girls and boys, are playing the game Taken Ove rto New Westville for a Crowd of Revelres. They, are having troubles over in New Westville because certain young fellows some of them from New Paris who find solace in the flowing bowl, send a messenger to Richmond who returns, in the anguage of the picnic invitation, "with bottles well loaded" and Westville is made the rendesvous of the crowd of revelers, and they drink and carouse greatly to .the annoyance or the, peaceful inhabitants. Westville having no police force, the Jackson township auhorities will probably have to take the matter in hand. New Paris Mirror. C. H. & D.

RUN TO FOUNTAIN CITY INTERFERRED WITH BY RAIN. EIGHT MACHINES IN LINE The Downpour Put an End to the Contemplated Automobile Run. The rain made it necessary to postponed last evening what would have been a pleasant little auto run. About 7 o'clock the start was to have been made, at the time appointed eight cars, a very small proportion of the entire number in the city, drew up in a line and with many toots of the horns, started out for a trip to Williamsburg and return, via. Fountain City. The line-up was: Will Vaughn, driving a Ford auto; M. C. Henley, Haynes-Apperson ; A. L. Speenheir, Cadiac; W. S. Clendenin, Cadalic; Mr. Grabel, Ford; H. F. Crichet, Ods; Earl Henley, Ford; Frank Land, National. The touring party had gotten perhaps four squares on their way when the rain sarted. They persisted, but finally were compelled to turn Back and all made their way to he garage. Here they waited until about half past eight, in the expectation that the sky would clear off sufficiently to allow hem to go, bu the clouds still prejsented threatening appearances and finally he autoists took their departure. Thev . expect to go this evening if j4heweather is good and tf the roads are in fine condition, but the rain of last night has caused the latter to become most muddy. The run will, in all probabiliy, be made Friday evening. COHEIEMT BUSINESS COLLEGE i OCCURRED AT THE GENNETT THEATER LAST NIGHT HON. J. FRANK HANLY Spoke, His Speech Being the Feature of the Program Largest Class Ever Passed. The commencement of the Richmond Business College occurred last evening in the Gennett Theater. The class was the largest ever graduated from that institution and of this large class all passed with honors. The students made a pretty picture, grouped in a semicircle around the stage, the colors contrasting in a pleasing way. Of course, the feature of the program was the address by J. Frank Hanly, Republican nominee for Governor of Indiana His remarks were short, concise and to the point and he gave the graduates a deal of good advice in not too many words. He received an ovation when he began to speak. J. Grover McKee made a happy, neat little speech, responding for the class and acquitted himself well.

FOR THE SENATE LOUIS LUDLOW SAYS SO AND HERNLY TOLD FAIRBANKS THE LIST IS GROWING Watson Also Spoken of Reid Would Make the Campaign Wheels Fly. "Ex-State Chairman Charles S. Ilernly came over from Winchester yesterday and had a talk with Senator Fairbanks," says Louis Ludlow in this morning's Indianapolis Star. "Dan Reid is going to be a candidate for the senate," said Hernly, "and he is willing to furnish enough financial axle grease to make the wheels of the State campaign go around at a merry clip. I do not mean that hewould furnish money for any purpose that is not strictly legitimate, but my experience as a State chairman taught me that the legitimate expenses of a State campaign foot up to no small item. "Congressman Watson also will be a candidate in fact his candidacy is now under full headway. I do not thing that Congressman Hemenway will be a candidate, nor do I believe that he should be. It would be a very great loss to Indiana to lose the chairmanship of the committee on appropriations. ' ' The politicians are kept tolerably busy with their pencils and note books writing down the names of senatorial aspirants. The list as they have recorded it, includes up to date an even dozen, as follows: Gov. Durbin, James A. Hemenway, Charles B. Landis, Edgar D Crumpacker, Daniel G.

Of the Station by Long Trains a Nuisance. A great deal of discomfort is caused nearly every morning by the blocking of the station by the long through trains. No. 14, to New York, arrives at 9:50 a. m. and pulls in on the first track. Several other trains pull in .at this time on the other tracks and the passengers from them are com pelled to walk to the extrem& end of the staffolattf"pass around th-Jong train or to camp until the train pulls out. This unnecessary walk or wait is causing a great deal of dissatisfac tion. CHANGE OF IN THE AMERICAN EXPRESS OFFICE IN THIS CITY. H H. BROWN RETIRES And Will be Succeeded by Mr. H. P. Simms of Peru, the Agent There. For the past eleven months the American Express office in this city has been ably managed by Mr. H. II. Brown. To say that he has been an efficient and capable manager would be only emphasizing a fact well known to those who have had business with the American Express office here. In the first place he was proficient in all the details of the business ; he was kind and obliging and would go a long distance out of the way to do a favor. We are sorry to lose such good men from our city. Mr. Brown will leave tonight for Alleghany, Pa., to take charge of the American Express office at that point. The position just vacated by Mr. Brown will be filled by Mr. H. P. Simms, who has been the agent at Peru, Indiana. The Palladium recommends Mr. Brown ao the people of Alleghany. Reid, George W. Steele, James M. Barlow, Harry S. New, Addison C. Harris, John L. Griffiths, E. E. Hen dee and Warren Sayre.
