MOUIICE TO BE PROMOTED TO INDIANAPOLIS Former Richmond Man Is Transferred from Terre Haute, Where He is Manager of Western Union, to Capital City. The Terre Haute Star, in speaking of P. L. Mounce, formerly manager of the Western Union offices in Richmond, says: While no official announcement has been made, arrangements are umlr way for the promotion of Paris L. Mounce,' local manager of the' West era Union Telegraph company, to In dianapolia. Mr. Mounce said yesterday that the change probably would take placa De ceruber 10. Mr. Mounce came to Terre Haute as manager in January, 1901. Since that time the business has been extended in keeping with the rapid growth of the city! The local force has been increased and almost entire new equipment has been installed. Under Mr. Mounces direction a complete bnrglar night watch and tire alarm system has , been established. The office now receives reports hourly from 200 night watch stations and 4C fire alarm stations have been place J in many of the large business houses and manufacturing establishments. These are separate from the city fire system and alarms reported to the Western Union are immediately trans ferrcd to city fire headquarters. Tnc property protected is valued nt over $7,000,000. Mr. Mounce began his work thirty years" ago in the telegraph offico at Paris. 111., as messenger and later as operator. ' Tie was in Paris nntil 1SN3, when he received his first appointment as manager and went to Pana, (111.) office. He was there eight vears when he was sent to Jefferson ville, Ind. After four years in charge of the Jeffersonville office he was an-, pointed manager of the Richmond, (Ind.) office. From Richmond he came to Terre Haute. It Is rather an interesting coincidence to note that .both the Indianapolis managers of. ,'tU big teleg" ph companies, the Western Union and the Postal, are former Richmond men. Frank Samuels, manager of the Pos tal, is a native of Richmond, learvjJ the telegraph business here and has been climbing high in the busin u ever since. THERE HAVE BEEN WORSE INDEED VERY MUCH WORSE Cole and Johnson Put on a Creditable Show at the Gennett Theater Last Might Large Crowd Witnessed the Performanqe. Far worse musical comedies than Jie "Shoo-Fly Regiment" in which Rob Cole and J. R. Johnson, the colored comedians are starring, have visited Richmond during tho present theatrical season. The cast of characters were all good and tho musical numbers were rendered as only colored singers can present such. Among the musical numbers which "took" with the audience, were "If Adam Hadn't Seen the Apple Tree," "Southland," and "On the Gay Luneta," as sung by Theo. Pankey and chorus. The one great and striking weakness of the entire production was the scenic effects. All were fair but could not compare with the scenery presented by the many operatic productions which have been witnessed during the present season. That the Richmond public appreciates a good colored show was evidenced by the large crowd which witnessed the performance last night. The Woodard Lodge. I. O. O. P., conferred the second degree last night on one candidate. James E. Reed, wife and daughter Gladys,, of Detroit, Mich., are the guests of S. C. Levin and family of South Twelfth street.

The history of a real war fought in Chicago's streets during the spring, summer and autumn of 1005, was told on the witness stand today by Joseph Schultz, states .evidence against the leaders of the teamsters strike of that year. SchuUz Is one of the men on trial for conspiracy to wreck important business interests as a part of the strikingHeamsters campaign. He admits that he was chief of the "sluggers" employed, he says, by president Shea of the union to drive strike breakers from the city. To Shea he attributed the campaign of violence waged during the long labor struggle. "Shea hired the pickets," he said today, "and it was to him we reported. We received our pay every night from Treasurer Xoren, of the Chicago Federation of Labor. Each man got two dollars daily. Some time when things grew quiet, Shea told us we must 'get busy,' or off would come our heads. "The pickets were divided into squads, each under a captain chosen by Shea. We had orders to stop the scab wagons any way we could. Shea said we were 'to knock hell out of them Finks.' A 'Fink' is a non-union man who takes a union striker's job. "As things got hot Shea told us to 'break the finks' arms and legs' so they couldn't work. "Sometimes we caught the Finks and beat them up. Sometimes we threw bricks and knocked them off their wagons. "Then we threw egg shells filled with vitriol at the horses, to make them run away. We got the egg?, at headquarters. The shells were drain ed and filled with acid and the holes covered with court plaster. 'Take these out and use them,' Shea told us, 'but be careful not to get caught of you will be hanged.'" BAZAAR STARTED WELL In Spite of the Bad Weather, Ladies of First M. E. Church Enjoyed Good Business. The Bazaar, which is conducted by the ladies of the First M.

Although Postmaster Spekenhier has no definite knowledge upon the matter he stated yesterday that he thought that F. II. Hitchcock, First Assistant Postmaster General, will move on the bonding company for Theodore Engelbert with the hopes of recovering the money which has been confiscated or pilfered from the mails in the course of the past few years at the local office. It is the opinion of Mr. Spekenhier that this move would be unsuccessful because the exact amount which Engelbert confiscated not known. A great deal of trouble would no doubt arise in case Mr. Hitchcock decided to make this move. The matter will probably not be known by Mr. Spekenhier as It would be settled between the Federal authorities and the bonding company, which went Engelbert's security for $1,000.

"Don't be harsh with him." she said pleadingly. "Oh, I am so sorry I told you! Remember, he has always been such a good boy" "My dear, you have nothing further to do with this. I must deal with my sou in my own way. I request you not to interfere. You had better go quietly to your room. I as'i you to do so. I want klm to find me here when he sees fit to return to his home."

She heard: "Dick, is that your "Yes, sir." "Is the dog In the hall?" "Yes, sir." "Well, turn out the gas! Good night!' Woman's Home Companion. He Got Off Eur. Clark Howell of Atlanta tells of the sad case of an elderly darky in Georgia charged with the theft of some chickens. The negro had the misfortune to be' defended by a young and inexperienced attorney, although it Is doubtful whether any one could have- secured his acquittal, the commission of the crime having been proved beyond all doubt. The darky received a pretty severe sentence. "Thank you. sah," said he cheerfully, addressing the judge when the sentence had been announced. "Dat's mighty hard, sah, but it ain't anywhere near what I spected. I thought, sah, dat between my character and dat speech of mah lawyer you'd hang me shore!" Success. Irian Wit.
