Chicago is trying to secure not only . tre reoublican convention, but also:

the democratic convention next scar. The windy city is not only breezy, but a 'so cheeky.

The light of American civilization is toon to be spread over our benighted L'riiish cousins, for Richard Croker, extoss of New York, is going to parliament from Ireland.

The slaughter house owners are goins to apply for government inspection and state they doubt their ability to get it. Better apply and let the government have a chance to set all doubts to rest one way or the other.

Governor Ilanly has broken the last straw as far as Richmond is concerned, lie has refused tne plans of local base ball fans to pardon Earl Kelley, a local bass ball player, who is in the lockup for ten days or so.

The American fla? association has published an appeal to all American citizen.- asking them to observe Flag day, which comes on June II. This

appeal should not fall unheeded and

all true Americans in Richmond and vicinity should remember the date,

June 11, and display their flags on that

day.

An Earlham student is said to have fctated that President Kelly has threatened to convert Earlham into a college for women alone unless hazing ceases immediately. Gaar, Scott and Co. officials might take a hint from this and notify their striking boiler makers that unless they return to work immediately, their places will be filled with women.

The Wall street plutocrats are so anxious to relegate Theodore Roosevelt to a rear seat and out of politics, that they are inventing a place where his future activities will hold forth. This time we are assured the president will become head of Harvard university upon the expiration of his present term. The people will let him do that or anything else he wants to when his present work is accomplished, and that will not be before the expiration of his present term.

The automobile club of Wayne county, in offering its help to the officers in running to earth the two young men who so disrespectfully dashed through a funeral cortege near Earlham cemetery last Tuesday, in an automobile, is pcting in the best interests of decent automobilists. These two young men Ehowed their disrespect for the dead by dashing through the funeral cortege, and then showed their small consiieration for the living by turning round and laughing at the confusion they had caused. A well administered dose of "strap oil" would be good for such contemptible nonentities.

It is written by college, was-given him by a wealthy Gilson Gardner, one of the brightest ! uncle. And the next position he re

ceived was from another wealthy uncle that paid him $.,000 a year. If this is true, the self-made ' idea won't work any longer in the vice president's case. Collier's also scores the

mony of the vice president's mother, who declares, according to Collier's, that Mr. Fairbanks never wanted for anything during his college career as he was well provided for by his parents. As to his working, Collier's tells an amusing story about that. It seems that Mr. Fairbanks upon returning home during a vacation announced his determination to his family of working as a roofer to get enough monejT to pay for some law books. The family tried to dissuade him, stating that they would buy the books for him when he got ready to use them. But Mr. Fairbanks would not listen and according took a position as a roofer. And, here is where the good point comes in. Mr. Fairbanks worked at his new occupation for half a day and then quit. According to Collier's, another pet idea which the vice president has given out is exploded. Mr. Fairbanks so Collier's states, has always tried to

SHOWS A FALLING OFF. NOT SO MUCH BAGGAGE HANDLED IN MAY AS A MONTH AGO.

However, There Was an Increase in The Excess Receipts, Due to Large Commercial Travel. About 7.S30 pieces of baggage were handled by the local baggagemen at the Pennsylvania station during the month of May. This record is not as large as that of last month when 8,000 pieces were handled. Notwithstanding the fact that there has been a falling off in . the number of pieces of baggage, the excess receipts last month increased over the month previous; in fact they were the largest ever taken in at the local Pennsylvania station. The large commercial travel during the past month was greater in and cut cf Richmond than ever before and to this is attributed the reason for the Increase in excess

baggage receipts.

DETERMINED IN STAND. The officials of the Big Four, Penn

sylvania and Mon on in Cincinnati have

acknowledged that the C, C. & L.. can raise quite a rumpus over differentials in case it sees fit, but these officials think nothing will come of the

squabble. The officials admit also that every increasa made in the

amount of travel and freight comes off the old roads. The increased business of "the short line" in the past few weeks has made the older road officials sit up and take notice. The C, C. & Lu officials, it is understood in Richmond, will stand out for a dfferential in passenger business till the last.

G. R. & I. NEW ENGINES. Two of the new engines purchased by the G. R. & I. will be placed in service on the road next week, according to the reports reaching Richmond as they have been completed at the Pittsburg works of the American Locomotive company -and are now ou their way tovard the G. R. & I. line. Both engines are passenger calibre and will be used in that service. These engines are somewhat heavier than the passenger engines now in service, having twenty-inch cylinders, where the old were nineteen inches. The new engines will carry a t,200 gallon water tank against 5,000 gallous on the old engines. The other remaining two engines will be placed in service in the course of the next two weeks.

EXPECT BIG TRAFFIC. The local -Pennsylvania ticket offices are receiving requests for Jamestown rates from various points surrounding Richmond. From the number of inquiries reaching the office a phenomenal traffic out of Richmond is expected in July and August. 4. EFFECTIVE JUNE 1. The annual summer tourist rates effective on the Richmond railroads for Denver, Colorado Springs and other western and northwestern points have been received at the local offices from the Central Passenger association and will become effective June 1st. The rates are extroniely low in some instances and it is thought they will draw exceptionally heavy traffic. -J SOLDIERS INDIGNANT. The G. A. R. department of Ohio is unmercifully scoring the railroads because the latter refused to grant the old soldiers ,a one cent rate to the state encampment. The circular issued arraigns the railroads and states that the present actions of the public service lines, is the thanks the old soldier is getting for protecting northern railroad property during the civil war.

When we have mastered the "to have, theproblem of the "to hold" confronts us. It is the question of providing foi the home which can never be properbj answered until we realize that "pro vide" Is a verb that should ever l conji:gated ia two tenses, present an future. There is in our American life too ofl ten a blind optimism in living up to at iueome. in assuming that becaure tb sun of prosperity shines warmly todaj there is no need of providing umbrel las for a possible rainy tomorrow. Those who wisely liv within an in tome rarely hare to face the problem of trying to live without one. Ther are two simple guarantees asamst fa ture poverty and dependence on oth ers. two great safeguards for hom and family a bank book and an insun auce iHilioy. They represent the taa terial defease of the home, a bnlwark of love's forethought standing strong and firm iu the hour of need. Delinea tor.

RULES. Contestants are required to mate a list of the different cities or towns (either or both) of population of 5,000 or over within the United States not including Alaska or our insular possessions, using for letters to make names of the cities or towns any of the letters in the reading matter within the heavy black bordered square. Example: Take any city or town of 5,000 or over Cincinnati for example. In the square find a "c" and cross it out; then find an "i" and cross it out; then find an "n" and cross it out; then another "c" and cross it out; another "i" and cross it out; then another "n" and cross it out; again another "n" crossing it out; then find an "a" and cross it out; then a "t" and then another "i." This uses up ten of the letters in the square, and you can not use these letters again. Now take another city or town and proceed as before. As soon as a letter is used in the square cross it out carefully, as you cannot use the same letter again. Continue then until you have made as many cities or towns as you can. Cities or towns of the same name can be used but once. Do not use any abbreviations. Contestants are not allowed to send in a duplicate list, as this would be unfair to others. THE PRIZES. 1st Prize A magnificent $350.00 Kimball piano will be given to the person whose list contains the greatest number of cities or towns in compliance with the rules and conditions. The remainder of the appropriation will be awarded in certificates ranging from $90 to $25, and will be awarded to the next highest lists in accordance with the number of names sent iri, until the entire $10,000 in certificates has been distributed. Those who receive prize certificates may apply them on the purchase of any new Kimball piano in our whrerooms at the regular prices, but can not apply them on any purchase made previous to May 27 1907. If you already have a piano and secure a prize certificate, you may apply the certificate on the purchase of a new piano player or player piano at regular retail prices. Prize winners will be notified and name of winner of. prize piano published.

This contest is run solely for the benefit of piano buyers, and for the wise buyers it means much. Thoughtful buyers consider well the future destiny of their children and these same thoughtful parents draw this picture which is but too true. Those, who for want of a musical education go through their early life, briefly speaking a wall flower, while the girl or boy who has been blessed witfi an education in music, immediately springs in popularity duo to her accomplishments. She- is sun-shine, because sunshine and music are as one. This same father pictures the sweat shop, the one that might employ his daughter at hours from seven o'clock in'the morning until six o'clock at night, giving not only her life but her energy for a few paltry dollars, and he also pictures the contrast of the one who has perfected herself in music, grown into womanhood capable of having a class of music pupils which is worth anywhere from twenty to fifty dollars a week, hours to suit her convenience, plenty of time for her pleasure, and thrown constantly in contact with different surroundings and different companions .than unfortunately , we find in many sweat shops. THINK THIS OVER AND WEIGH IT WELL and" if you are lucky enough to win the beautiful WORLD RENOWNED "KIMBALL" PIA

NO, which will be given away at this con- A

test, rest assured that your son or daughter

ft will never forget your efforts in their life.
