LONG FIGHT FOB INSPEC

TION IS WON COUNCIL ACCOMPLISHES END BY NAMING GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR WAG GONER TO HAVE CHARGE. HE WILL HAVE LOCAL AID FOR THE PRESENT. Such Inspection Means That All Non-inspected Meat Will Be Shut Out and Butchers Will Be Protected. Old adages oftentimes prove modern day realities. The Baying that right will finally conquer was never more thoroughly demonstrated than In the government meat inspection campaign which has been waged long and earnestly in Richmond, at the instigation, of the Palladium and "which was practically settled Mon day night when the city council ap proved the selection of Dr. C. O. Wag goner as city meat inspector, made Monday by the board of public works. Dr. Waggoner has acted in the capacity of United States government meat inspector at the plant of the Richmond abattoir and by his selection and approval by the city fathers, following close on the heels of an ordinance passed requiring that all meats inspected in Richmond shall be government inspected, the city will be in po3itlon to keep non-inspected meats off the market. The selection makes the city ordinance more binding than it could be otherwise. Had Dr. Waggoner not been appointed by the city, the ordinance requiring that all meats be inspected by the United States government could not have been enforced. Becomes a Reality. With the appointment of Dr. Waggoner as city inspector Monday night, government , inspection will begin practically at all the butchering establishments in Richmond immediately. Oscar Faddock, who has acted so conscientiously as city Inspector since Ills appointment at the hands of the Schillinger administration, will be selected by Dr. Waggoner to act as his assistant until the regularly appointed government inspectors arrive in Richmond. As soon as the retaining tank and steam vats are installed at the Jlolzapfel slaughtering establishment, the government men will be appointed by the department of animal industry. , Dr. .Waggoner will ask for two meat inspectors, one to be located at the Holzapfel plant and the othr at the slaughter house owned by .Anton 'Stolle. The Stolle establishment has been placed in excellent condition and nothing remains to prepare it for the acceptance of government inspection. In the meantime Oscar Paddock, the city's live stock Inspector, will act as a government inspector being deputized by Dr. Waggoner. Mr. Paddock will confine ftis efforts to both the Holzapfel and Stolle establishments and a good inspection on all meats slaughtered at these places is insured, as Paddock has closely examined all diseased carcasses condemned at the abattoir since Dr. Waggoner has been in charge, and for that reason is competent. Waggoner, however, will pass on all diseased meats finally and this he will do until the government men arrive, and if Dr. Waggoner secures the men he wishes they will be com petent enough to pass finally on all cases that come to their attention. Dr. Waggoner, however, will have full charge of all inspectors sent here. If is highly probable that these inspectors will arrive in Richmond in the course of the next four weeks as the Holzapfel plant will be completed within that time. Butchers are Sore. As would naturally follow, the butchers are still very sore over their apparent defeat, in the fight for inspection. Since the city has taken a determined stand on the matter of Inspection, however, they realize thM the fight so far as they are concerned i Is lost and will adapt themselves to new conditions immediately.

ALEXANDER JESTER FAMOUS CHARACTER PAYS FINAL DEBT Man Who Was Charged With Murder of Gilbert W. Gates, Brother of Noted Financier, Expires in Far West. CASE IS OF INTEREST TO WAYNE COUNTIANS. When Last Trial for the Murd er Was Held in 1900, Several Wayne County People Were Called as Witnesses. Death of Alexander Jester, which is announced from Aurora, Mo., is the concluding chapter in a murder story in which Wayne county had no little interest. This was the murder of Gilbert W. Gates, brother of John W. Gates, which crime was blamed on Jester, with whom Gates had been in company. It will be remembered that at the most recent trial of Jester a number of Wayne county people were called as witnesses. , The dispatchj from Aurora, says: Information has reached this city through Postmaster J. J. Burke of Norman, Okla., of the death at dishing, Okla., of Alexander Jester, alias William A. Hill, aged over 90 years, who was tried at New London, Mo., in July, 1900 for the murder of Gilbert W. Gates, brother of John W. Gates, the New York and Chicago steel king and millionaire, the crime having erred In February, 1871.

ONLY 3 CONTRACTS BOTHER THE BOARD

Two of These, for the West Side, Have Been Put in "Jonah" Class. CONTRACTORS NOT WILLING THERE IS NOTHING TO INDICATE THAT A BID WILL BE OFFERED ON THE THIRTIETH OF AUGUST. After a season marked by the exceptionally large number of new improvements planned, as well as realized, the city civil engineer and board of works now have but three on which bids will be asked. Two of these are the "jonah" contracts for the construction of the southwest sewer system in West Richmond and the West Second street viaduct and im provements attached thereto The third is the macadam roadway, cement sidewalks and gutters leading to the Starr Piano company oa . Sou(h First street. The latter improvement is Insignificant compared with the two big contracts on the West Side. Up-to-date not a single contractor has expressed . himself that he will bid on either of the big improvements. The sewer proposition has 1 een advertised for three times, while August 30 will be the second date for the West Second street contract. President Merrill of the board of works, it is asserted, has about come to the point where he will secur j a contractor for either of the jobs whether or no. It is freely asserted about the city hall that Merrill has had a f rnn t" , 7 J 1 , i L CrJ for the reason they are afraid he will lock them in the city hall safe until the day the bids are to be let and then force them to bid on the propositions. Merrill states, however that he has no such vicious intening season nears its close. THE WEATHER PR0RHET.

TAFT STATES HIS VIEWS ON PUBLIC ISSUESJLFiRLY Secretary of War Was Received With Sincere EnthDsiasm When He Spoke at Columbus, 0;, Monday Night.

MOST IMPORTANT ADDRESS OF A SERIES. No Longer Any Mistaking His Candidacy Nor His Belief That Bryan Will, Be Democratic Candidate. Columbus, O., Aug. 20. William Howard Taft, secretary of war, and the administration's candidate for the republican presidential nomination, last night detailed his views on pressing public questions before the Buck eye Republican club of this city. Secretary Taft was received with sincere enthusiasm, every person present rising and cheering him vigorously. The secretary's address was the first and most important of a series to be made at various points in the West prior to his sailing for the Philippines and Japan on. tfte 10th of next month. From a political standpoint it was noted that Secretary Taft laid down his opinions in such a way that there was no mistaking his candidacy and hardly any doubt also, that he expects to have as his chief opponent on the democratic ticket William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Taft singled Mr. Bryan out repeatedly in discussing public questions and the views of other individuals. Would Add to Rate Law. Secretary Taft talked at length on the railroad rate question, and, after explaining with pointed clearness the new law, he suggested changes and additions to it. Under this head he asked that the power of the'interstate Commerce commission be so extended as to allow that body to classify merchandise. He also dwelt on the necessity of amending the law to prevent railroad overcapitalization and the purchase by one road of stock in a competing line. Summary of Speech. A summary of the speech is given below: ' Despite abuses, which are the outgrowth of unparalleled prosperity, society is still sound at the core. By securing greater power for the Interstate Commerce Commission, President Roosevelt has done much to remedy railroad abuses. The railroads now condemn the new j rate law and praise the Elkins bill, I because the latter carries no prison j sentence. The Elkins railroad bill was passed with the full consent of the railroads The imprisonment of two or three prominent officers of a railway company or a trust, engaged in giving or receiving secret rebates, would have a greater deterrent effect for the fu ture than millions in fines. The criticism of Mr. Bryan that the law was weakened in authorizing judicial intervention to restrain the ord ers of the commission has not the slightest foundation. If the prosecution of dishonesty Is to injure the market for stocks, then it is a burden that must be borne and charged to violators of the law. A railroad company should not be permitted to issue stocks or bonds and put them on sale, except after a certificate by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Some action should be taken to prevent the absorption of all railroads by one man. The Union Pacific-Southern Pacific-Illinois Central deal (Harriman promotion) is an example. , Government ownership of the railroads is not to be considered. Strict supervision is what is needed. The physical valuation of a railroad is a matter for consideration by the Interstate Commerce Commission in arriving at what is a-fair profit upon the i investment. I The frightful loss of life and limb amonS raiiroaa meu u iu. .c6..Hon requiring the companies to bear a part of the buraen. The Government should not interfere with the combination of capital so long as fair dealing and equal prices prevail. The suppression of secret rebates and discrimination will go a long way toward curing evils created by the Standard Oil and other trusts. Juries are willing to indict a trust, but are not willing to go so far in dealing with the individual members. License system of trusts is not the solution of the problem it appears. The states can best regulate the accumulation of wealth. A graduated inheritance tax law should be enacted. The policies of President Roosevelt meet with my complete sympathy. The railroads, not Roosevelt, are responsible for the laws of which they complain. Mr. Roosavelt would make both the poor and rich obey the law; Mr. Bryan would give the lawless or poor freedom of action. j Tbe Government, whiclj-lr.. Bryaa' i

TEACHERS EMPLOYED; ASSIGNMENTS-EARLY

County Will Have an Unusually Competent Force. Practically all of the teachers for the Wayne county schools have been employed and assignments to schools will be made by the township trustees and County Superintendent Jordan within the next few days. An unusually, efficient corps of teachers has been secured for next year. The one noticeable feature will be the return of so many older and experienced pedagogues. Several new teachers, however, will be pressed into service. The schools will open Sept. 9. ENGINEERING FOHCE , IS KEPUERY BUSY Due to the Many Improvements Now in Progress. With the many improvements over the city, which are being rushed to completion before the cold and disagreeable weather again makes its appearance, City Civil Engineer Charles and his force of men are Very busy. Stakes for all improvements have' to be set and the contract work has to be superintended. With the completion of this year's allotment of improvements, business will bo dead around tho engineer's officeIS WELL QUALIFIED FOR -THE POSITION Prof. Frank Lamar's Record As a Teacher.

Prof. Frank Lamar, who comes to Richmond to take charge of the phy sics and chemistry departments of tho local high school course as soon as school opens, is a Wayne county boy. lie taught school three years in this county, two years in tho district schools and one year in the Center ville high school. For seven years he has been instructor of physics and chemistry In Wilmington college, O., and has gained an enviable reputa tion there. The position in the local schools was tendered Prof. Lamar, and his letter of acceptance was re ceived by Supt. Mott Monday. There were ten applicants but Mr. Lamar was not one of them. Mr. Mott is more than pleased with Mr. Lamar and he says that the school board could not have secured a bright er or more efficient man for the po sition. Lamar is a graduate of Ear ham. v ' CART CONTEST sand,. Nathan Mills, more than four thousand, Mary Morrow, nine thou sand, and Mary Harmeier, five thou sand. With such increases as these it can readily be seen that the outcome will prove to be a very uncertain one and it is evident that the contestants are just beginning to show their real strength.

CANNOT OPERATE Oil EAST MAUI ST. AFTER MORTTIME Council Passed by Unanimous Vote the Ordinance That Will Exclude Interurban Cars East of Eighth.

WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE IN TWO WEEKS, The Matter Is Now Put Up to The Company Good and Strong and the Next Move Must Be From It. Monday evening at the council met. ing an ordinance declaring the operation of interurban cars, either passenger or freight, on Main street between Eighth street and tho east corporation IJne to be unlawful, was passed under suspension of the rules by a unanimous vote. For each violation of this ordinance a penalty of $200 Is provided. An emergency clause In the ordinance provides that it' shall becoma effective after passage and publication. The ordinance will be published at once and it will go into effect In two weeks. After the ordinance had been rad a motion was made to place it on W passage under suspension of tho rtilei. Before a vote was taken on this motion, Mr. Bartel took the floor and ad ' vocated the passage of the ordinance without further delay. He Mated that the residents of Richmond favored this action in the fight against the traction company and that tho public wanted this step taken without further delay. Mr. Bartel stated that recently a Richmond man .was in Anderson and that he entered that city on a Union Traction car, which is In the McGowan system, and that he obtained a transfer to a city car. In proof of his statement Mr. Bartel stated that this wag proof positive that if the local traction company accepted a transfer clause in its franchise agreement It would not be establishing an undesirable precedent, as the tract Ion officials claimed when they rcfuned to accept the agreement because It con tained this clause. Delay Was Suggested. Councilman Deuker thought II might be wise to postpone action on the ordinance until the next council meeting. City Attorney Study stated that this would be a wise move If the ordinance was found not to bo satis factory. Ho aid that he had placed every provision In It he deemed nec essary but Ir council favored amending It he would be glad to revise It. Councilman Englebert thought the ordinance as prepared by Mr. Study satisfactory and should be passed without further delay. He etated that in his mind the franchise agreement submitted by the board to the traction company was not "strong" enough. Ho thought the company should be compelled to sell tickets on all street cars and that a clause should be inserted requiring all traction cars operating In the city to stop at each street cor ner. After this debate the m motion tof place the ordinance on Its passage under suspension of the rules was passed without a dissenting vote. The councilmen then voted unanimously when the ordinance came up for final action. FOLLOWS WIPE JUST SIX MONTHS LATER David Werking Died on Marriage Anniversary. FATHER OF 12 CHILDREN.
