Dl. ZIMMERMAN GIVEN A BABY

3l UNKNOWN PARTIES LEAVE BASKET AT HIS DOOR TEN DAYS BOUNCING BOY j Nicely Dressed Was Pound in the Basket The Doctor Will Adopt the Child. i Tliprp was trrpflf excitement on North Seventh street Saturday evening just after dark, and the crowd that gathered about Mayor Zimmerj man's house indicated the case of the incitement to be centered there. Investigation proved that the multitude did not reckon in vain. While the doctor was busy about his office work attending to the persons who were then awaiting attention, a rig drove up in front of Mayor Zimmerman's home on North Seventh street and stopped. The rig was occupied by a man and a woman and a clothes basket, to all appearances, but later developments proved otherwise. The man jumped out of the rig and taking the clothes basket deposited it on the veranda of the Zimmerman residence. A number of parties were passing along at the time and no more attention was given the matter, all supposing that the basket contained the Zimmerman washing for the week. When the man deposited the basket he "saith never a word," but hurriedly got into the buggy and hastily drove away. The mayor was in his consultation room at the time and when he emergS&J&SS attention was called to the deposit made on the veranda. On examination Mayor Zimmerman found a clothes basket, with " the following note attached: v ? ''Mayor Zimmerman -This ba- j by is ten days old. - Will you please find a home for it and oblige a worthy mother." The covering was hastily removed land there lay a little child sweetly sleeping. Much surprise was express ed at the find, but the mayor, who is always equal to each and every emergency, said he would adopt it, and khat money could not buy it. The child is a boy baby. Quite a number of people offered to Spare for the child, but all such offers Nrrp declined with thanks. iJr. zammerman is so promt oi nis aby that he took it to Herschburg & undy's picture gallery this afternpn and had its picture taken, plothes basket and all. The baby was pressed in a nice long white baby jiress, neatly made and of good material. It also wore a nice new cloak. Hie doctor is as proud as a little boy with' his first pair of boots..

OPENS FRIDAY GREAT PREPARATIONS TO BE MADE THIS WEEK PROMISES TO BE FINE Chautauqua is the Center of Interest at Present Large Attendance Likely. The chief event that is the center of public interest locally at present is the Richmond Chautauqua, which will be held under the auspices of ' the Commercial Club and will open Friday, the 26th. The Chautauqua, from all standpoints, promises to exceed last year's affair by far, in program and everything, and will be one of the finest held in this part of the country this year. The attendance promises to be exceptionally large. Hundreds of Richmond people have purchased season tickets and the tenting grounds, in which many families will "camp out" during the chautauqua, will be filled completely. It is estimated that there will be considerable over a hundred tents that will be occupied solely by families who take this means to combine pleasure with profit. Of out-of-town attendants there will also be a very large number, the systematic advertising campaign having awakened great interest in this, the second of Richmond's fine chautauquas. The program, of which mention has been made before, has attracted a great deal of favorable comment and the efforts of the program committee to place just as fine a program as possible "on the boards" has met with great commendation. Preparations for the chautauqua have already been commenced at the grounds, and will be pushed forward to a hasty completion. Elecetric light wires have been strung, the spaces for the tents, great and small will be cleared this week, and by Thursday evening everything will be in readiness.

TO RESIGN SEAT SENATOR FAIRBANKS' PARTIOTISM SHOWN. DURING SPANISH WAR When He Asked Governor Mount to Accept His Papers Mount's Reply. Washington, D. C. Aug. 21. The fact that at the outbreak of the Spanish War Senator Fairbanks offered to resign his seat in the Senate to so to the front with the Indiana volunteer troops has just been made public. This information will be a surprise to the Senator's most intimate friends, as it is doubtful if half a dozen persons knew of the circumstances until he turned over certain of his papers to W. H. Smith, of India naiolis, the well known historical writer, for the preparation pf a semi-official biography which will be adopted by the Republican National committee, the Indiana Republican State Committee and other campaign committees and circulated as a campaign document. In going through the papers Mr. Smith found the following letter to Senator Fairbanks from Governor Mount under date of May 3, 1S9S: I "My Dear Senator: Permit 'me to say in reply to your patriotic tender of your services that I commend vour loyalty to the state and nation. The offer of. your services as a soldier means that you are ready to make any sacrifice for the preservation of the national honor. I beg to assure you that you can best render that service in the United States Senate', In this connection I desire to commend jour patriotic course. I could not consent to jour leaving the senate. Your constituents would protest. . " We need statesmen as much as soldiers. We an fill the places of soldiers much easier than the seats of Senators. "No one can place a higher estimate than I upon the offer of your ser vices to the State as a soldier, but above this is my measure of your services as a Senator. Very trulv vour?. J. A. MOUNT." STORM DAMAGE Later Estimates Place List of Injured At One Hundred and Fifty. St. Louis. Aug 21. A thorough estimate of the damage done by the tornado which descended on North!
