What can be more than a losing ball club?

discouraging

The passing of John J. Conley re

moves one of the very few men who

were identified with Richmond from

its earliest time.

Let's congratulate ourselves that

May is about over. As a disappoint

ment from the weather standpoint it

has established a record that would

be hard to excel.

Judge from the wickedness that has been, unearthed at San Francisco, in official circles, it is a wonder the earthquake did not strike the place

sooner than it did.

Seantor Dick couldn't stand that en

dorsement of Taft for president by his

fellow Republicans, so he left for Chi

cago. Senator Dick probably is in line

for a rude awakening.

It is just as well that the Gould di

vorce suit has been brought in the

summer season for if it actually comes to trial the open air will undoubtedly

be the place to try it.

Apparently Richmond is to have a splendid art exhibit this year. It is well deserving of public support. There is scarcely a family but could afford to buy at least one membership ticket at fifty cents.

Lulu Glaser, actress, who has wed an actor, said to be the comedy man of her company, has shattered the theatrical records by choosing for a husband a man who is near her own age. Now and then common sense will come to the surface.

It requires a wild flight of imagination to figure out how Corey and his bride can extract much real satisfaction from their wedded life, considering the low estimation in which the public appears to hold them, and it augurs well for the public's moral sense.

Do not allow the May music festival to have a deficit. Liberal purchase of tickets will prevent this and there is still time and plenty of good seats are available. Few cities in the United States, the size of Richmond, are favored with musical programs of this magnitude.

Speaking of trouble with. Japan, it would appear that Kukori's visit here might impress -him with the fact that Uncle Sam Is fully able to take care of himself in any brush that may arise with the Japs. This information should go a long way toward preventing any euch contingency.

At last a money value has been placed on a high school diploma. A girl who was refused the privilege of graduating at a well known school 'has eued for-$12,000 damages. At such a valuation as this there ought to be many more completing the courses In the high schools and-colleges.

Fountain City, Ind., May 25 Staid

old Newport is rapidly getting the automobile fever. It may soon be neces

sary to establish a garage. The first to venture on the uncertain sea of

motor vehicles was Ed Shute, the en

terprising machinist and vender of Edison records, who quietly slipped a

motor cycle into town last year and startled the residents of the back streets with its sharp and insistent coughing. This year he seems to

have his fiery steed well under con

trol and goes right out on the "pike"

with it w-hen occasion demands or for the benefit 'of those from Missouri.

Early this spring our genial Rural

routers, Bert Lacey and Frank Williams, suffered acute attacks of automobilitis, brought on by reading accounts of how mail was being delivered by other R. F. D. men in automobiles. The disease got beyond control, and nothing but Orient buckboards would appease them, so now every fine day these two little chug wagons are brought up before the government building where they are examined and commented upon by the crowd of citizens who always gather to witness the distribution of mail, until the smiling representatives of Uncle Samuel emerge and with that easy indifference born of exclusive possession, exchange some unintelligible remark about "switch" or "spark" or "carbureter," and proceed to "crank 'em up." Then with the ease and grace of turtle doves, they start out on their flights over the devious windings of routes 26 and 27. Some queer stories come in over the wires. They do say that Frank has to get out and push, up every hill and that one day a plain ordinary puncture caused him to walk for four miles delivering mail and calling loudly every ten rods for5abicycle pump, but finally had to send in for the horse and wagon and trail in. .It is also stated that Bert- has to creep along the side of the "east road" at a mile an hour with the machine at an angle of 45 degrees In order to keep from being jolted over into the next

field, but all of these rumors are attributed to what the telephone fellows call "cross-talk." The latest addition to the list is our enterprising liveryman. Earl Smith, who has contracted for a machine to be delivered in June, which will be added to his already fine equipment for the accommodation of the traveling public. This machine is similar to that owned by Prof. Kamp of Richmond, who "stood it in" Earl's

barn each week while visiting the schools here, and gave him the idea of its practical utility as a livery vehicle. Several other citizens are showing symptoms more or less aggravated

and it is very probable some of these will "break out" before the season is over. The pioneer in the automobile business here has however been omitted possibly owing to his remarkable record. His machine has been in operation several years but he has never had a puncture, nave- had a transmission chain to break, or a'sparkeror carbureter to get out of order, lias Dfver been arrested, or even threatened for exceeding the speed limit and always gets where he starts and comes back under his own power. His machine is a Black Steamer, he generally pulls .one or two trailers, and

his name is Frank Hunt, thresherman.

News of the Railroads Lroca.1 and General

OVER SUNDAY EXCURSION. PENNSYLVANIA RUNS ITS FIRST TO CHICAGO THIS WEEK.

This Announcement Sets at Rest All Rumors That Plan Would Be Adopted. The Pennsylvania will run its first "Over Sunday" excursion to Chicago next Saturday night leaving this city

at 10:30 o'clock and leaving Chicago at eleven o'clock Sunday night. There has been much speculation in Rich

mond for many weeks in regard to the

Sunday excursion proposition to Chi

cago, and it was predicted freely that no Chicago excursion w-ild be run this season. The rate oLcied by the Pennsylvania will be $3.00 for the

round trip. It has been announced lo

cally that they will continue at intervals during the entire summer.

COPIES OF "THE POINTER." The local Pennsylvania ticket offi

ces have received copies of "The Pointer," a railroad advertisement magazine printed in Chicago and which con

tains several excellent views of the

northwest and also announces a number of excursion parties to the Yel

lowstone and Alaska. STILL HAVE TROUBLES. The Pennsylvania conductors running out of Richmond are still having their troubles with the cash fare refund blank, which is necessary with

the new two-cent laws. It entails much work and the conductors state that they wish nothing of the kind had ever been dreamed of.

STREET WORK PROGRESSING INJIAGERSTOWN New Crossings and hewers Are Being Placed. CEMENT WALK IN VIEW.

Hagerstown, Ind., May 25. Street work in various parts of town has been actively pushed by Marshal Dickson. Some crossings and. sewers have been put in and- various repairs started. A stretch of cement walk from Main street to the West Lawn cemetery will probably be ordered soon. There is a very general demand that all premises be cleaned and streets and alleys be no longer used as a place for throwing ashes and refuse.

SPECIAL SUMMER EXCURSIONS. The Grand Rapids and Indiana has announced a series of special summer excursion rates to points in northern Michigan. The regular round trip rate to all points will suffer about a $4 reduction. Instead of the rate being $16.95 from Richmond to Petoskey, as has been the case in former years, the summer rate this year will be $12.95. The actions of the G. R. & I. are not exactly understood in Richmond. The road has refused on several different occasions to grant excursion rates to assemblies1 and meetings along the line, but. still is ready to cut its rates on other things of similar nature. Retrenchment is supposed to be the policy of the road and it hardly stands to reason that the road would cut the rates on the most profitable source of business which invariably falls to Its care, if retrenching on account of losses suffered through the two-cent law. ARE BACK AT WORK. The C.,C. & L. boiler makers who again became dissatisfied last week and struck for higher wages, have all returned to work at the old wages. The work was delayed but two days. TO THE FULL CAPACITY. The 'officials of the Central freight association lines including the Pennsylvania, are now placing particular emphasis upon loading cars to the full capacity. The opinion is expressed at the local 6tation that this is in a

measure due to the present relief of

the car situation, as the shippers be-1

gan to realize the inconvenience of half loaded cars.
