THEY ARE MAKING A TOUR OF INSPECTION NEW SYSTEM

THE PERE MARQUETTE President Zimmerman and Party Met Richmond People at The Westcott Last Night. The consolidation of the three railway systems, the Pere Marquette, Cincinnati, Hamilton & the Chicago, Cincinnati ville, is now a felt fact. Dayton and and LouisTlie officers of the new system are making a tour of inspection of all the roads in the new system and spent last night in Richmond. Richmond people were invited to meet the distinguished party at the Westcott last night and about seventy-five responded to the invitation. Besides Col.

President Zimmerman, in speaking with the Palladium, said the new system, which included 4,000 miles of track, would have the finest railroad service in the United States, and that Richmond would be made to feel she had another trunk line. He also said the C. C. & L. would have as fine train service as that in any part of the system. The party had nothing but words of praise for Richmond her streets, business enterprise and especially her hotel facilities. This city has reason to congratulate itself in being one of the links in this great railroad chain. The Pere Marquette connects with Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Toledo, Port Huron, London, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Bay City, Manitowoc, connecting the northwest

and the southeast. The C. H. & D. connects with the great middle west, Saint Louis, Mo., Springfield, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cnicinnati, Ironton, Findlay, Ft. Wayne, Toledo and Detroit. The C. C. & L. connects with Chicago, Marion, Peru and North Judson and is called the "Straight Line." The entire party stopped in this city over night and left at 6:45 for Chicago.

MILLERS' ASSOCIATION. The Millers' Association of Wayne county, has investigated the yield of new wheat, saying it is not fit to mill.

The jury which was ordered to report on Monday to try the case of Whitsell vs. Study, has been notified not to appear until given notice by the sheriff to do so. "APPROVAL OF I STIMULATE CHAUTAUQUA MANAGERS," SAID ONE TODAY 1 1 TO GREATER EFFORTS" Many Improvements to be Made at Beautiful Chautauqua Grove Soon. The frontispiece of the Chautauqua folder gives promise that the Glen of which the frontispiece is a picture, will be the best possible place for the affair to be held. Many improvements are under way now at the Chautauqua Grove and a force will be put to work soon to get things into shape. More names are being added to the list of campers each day, and now it is expected that the entire list, for the names have only begun to come in, will reach up into the hupdreds. The executive committee, Richard Sedgwick, T. H. Hill, J. F. Reeves, H. A. Dill and J. H. Shaw, is busy now with the preliminary matters pertaining to the Chautauqua and promise that everything will be in the best possible condition for the affair. The Chautauqua, the second held here, will be held from August 26th to September 4th, inclusive, on the same grounds as those which so delighted the visitors last year. It is almost unnecessary to describe the beauties of the Glen, for they are so well known. Letters of commendation on the beauty of the place have been received from Rev. S. L. Krebs, Madame Tsilka, Rev. Father Vaughn, James Speed, W. B. Amsbury and others. "Many of these letters, together with the approval pf the people of Richmond, have stimulated the management to greater efforts for this year," said one of the managers today, "and with the experience gained in 1903 warrants the assurance that this year thpublic will by no means be disappointed."
