The lecure was of a popular nature find one that Dr. Kirtley has delivered frequently before chantauquas and on the lyceum platform. It pleased im mensely. The theme that was veiled under the poetical topic was found to be BOYS. Among the many things said the fol lowing are representative sentences; "As a member of the genus man the boy has his defects brt as a member of the species boy, he has the merits of his defects. "The boy has the equipment ordinary and the equipment extraordinary, the latter consists chiefly of whalehone, leather, cat gut, cachouch, lungs, gizard and pockets. "There are three things to which a fcoy is entitled, corresponding to three outstanding characteristics. lie has faith and is therefore entitled to a pood atmosphere, he has energy and Is therefore entitled to authoritative direction, he has asense of the ideal nnd is therefore entitled to help in finding his true ideal in life. "There comes a time when a boy is more exciting than satisfactory. He Js neither a man nor a boy he Is? an onomoly. His hands know no repose, he has grown so rapidly that yon are constantly afraid that he will get his legs tied in a double bow knot and fall down and break himself into exactly 204 separate and distinct pieces. Vhen he talks his voice will one minute go rumbling down in the bowels of the earth as a bass and the next minute will go clean out of sight as a tenor. When he smiles he looks as if he were trying to work tip some fresh cuticle that has grown npon his face the day before and if he succeeds in working it all up into a smile he doesn't know what to do with it. He looks as if he would like to swallow the thing. And yet it is very fetching and you always smile back at him. You are very likely to remember the sm!' "ml awaken at night, singing h' Tht smile haunts me stit!.' " lecture closed with an appeal to put the boy in possession of his life ideals. This can be done, the speaker said in the way of mottoes nd especially, by, bringing him intq.

Bigelow delivered Friday afternoon served to attract a large audience to hear him Saturday afternoon and his effort though a!ong a different line than on the preceding day was fully as good. The speaker discussed on "A Life Worth Living." The Rev. Mr. Bigelow is an optimist of a pronounced type and he pictured an existance which would reduce the alarming number of suicides in this country. Work and full compensation for the labor performed, the speaker felt were the first two requisites for a life worth living and to these qualifications he added, love of nature. The Idle rich and those who score honest toil were not handled iqr a kindly manner by the speaker. WILL ENTERTAIN YOUNGSTERS. Fine Things Mapped Out for Them the Coming Week. Miss Grace M. Lamkin will arrive here this morning from Camargo, 111., and at once will take charge of the entertainment of boys and girls at the Chautauqua. Never before has the Chautauqua management been quite so fortunate as this year in selection of a chaperon for the youngsters. The entertainment will be quite unique. What is known as a Seton camp of Indians will be organized. This camp derives its name from Ernest Thompson Seton, the noted writer and naturalist who wrote a series of stories for the Ladies Home Journal and from which Miss Lamkin's sister secured material for her work. She enlarged upon it and has mapped out a government for children modeled after the interesting Indian life of the pioneer days in America. The large tent near the west entrance of the Chautauqua grounds will be the headquarters of the Indian3. The tribe which will consist of any child, under sixteen years, who cares to join will elect a chief and organize a council. The council and war chief will govern the tribe and will con tinue throughout the week. Miss Iimkin will remain with the children throughout each day. instructing them in Indian life, telling them stories of the Indians, studying with them, trees, flowers and birds, showing them Indian dances, athletic games and other special features.

Indian feathers will be awarded to those who accomplish certain feats of courage, and medals will be awarded those winning in the compet-j etive races. On the final day there will be a grand pow wow and field day j program to which the public will be welcome.

TELEGRAPHERS MAY TURN TOROOSEVELT Strenuous Effort Will Be Made To Bring the Strike To an End. ARBITRATION IS SOLUTION.

IF THE COMPANIES REFUSE TO DISCUSS TERMS THEN THE WIRES TO OYSTER BAY WILL BE USED. New York, Aug. 24. With the arrival here of President Small, of the International Commercial Telegraph ers' union, definite steps looking toward forcing the officials of the Postal and Western Union com panies into some sort of arbitration, will be taken. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America and Charles P. Neill. United States Labor Commissioner, are expected to be here Mon day, when a conference will be held and the suggestion, at least will be made that President Roosevelt be ask ed to intervene. In the face of constant reiterations from the officials of the two compan ies that there is nothing to arbitrate, the union leaders believe that diplomatic procedure will bring about a conference. Evidence of the use of the mails by the companies when they are unable to send messages by wire is in the hands of the union. Two messages which were delivered by mail carriers were on display today at the headquarters of the union. Railroad Men Speak.

There Is More Danger of Disease Through the Consumption of Impure Milk Than From Impure Meat.

PLANS FOR CRUSADE NOT YET DETERMINED. Tuberculosis in Milk Is the One Disease That Is Feared More Than Any OtherPasteurization. Incident to the proposed inspection of Richmond's milk supply, it is asserted there is more danger of disease through the consumption of diseaseladen milk than through meat, and for this reason Dr. C. S. Bond, health officer, will inaugurate a campaign along this line. The details of the plan for which he will work, are not yet known although it is certain that a central home for the pasteurization of milk will be asked. The milkmen will be asked to either take their milk to the house and have it pasteurized, or sell their milk to this plant and then it will be resold to the milk consumers of Richmond. The campaign for pure milk is entirely different from that for pure meat and hence it is not yet fully determined just what course will be pursued to gain pure milk. If the milk being sold on the market at the present time is not pure, a vigorous campaign will be conducted to remedy conditions. If the milk is pure, milkmen will be allowed to sell it in the city as of yor.e. of yore. Dr. ond states that in his opinion all kinds of milk are sold in Richmond, and much of this comes from places where cattle are improperly cared for. For this reason it is imperative that something should be done. Tuberculosis Feared. Tuberculosis in milk is the one disease that is feared more than any other, simply because there have been so many cases of the dreaded disease found in cattle coming from farms in this county. Several of those carcasses condemned on account of tubercu-j losis, were cows from which families j had been obtaining milk considered good. Tubercles have been found in the cow's udders and in direct contact with the milk. Under such circurn stances the disease cannot but com municate Itself to the milk. In conjunction with his campaign for pure milk, if such is waged, Dr. Bond will also demand the best dairy conditions. The dairymen will be asked to keep their places and cattle in excellent condition. In case these are not kept up as they should be. State pVessure will be brought against them. The dairies furnishing milk to Richmond as a general rule, are being kept in excellent condition, as Dr. Hoover, city dairy inspector, is seeing to that feature. There are several dairies however which are slightly below the standard. The main source of fear is that the cattle now furnishing milk to Richmond people are in many instances diseased; diseased to such an extent that the baccilli and pathogenic germs are communicated to the milk and sold to the people of Richmond for consumption. Will State Demands. Dr. Bond will within the course of the next few days make known his demands for better milk conditions and will Inaugurate his campaign after a third set of samples taken are exam-

There will be a great picnic under the auspices of the South Side improvement association in the Beallview addition to the city on Labor day. Although the regular Labor day picnic will be held at.. Glen Miller park, the members of the South Side association did not feel that they wanted to abandon what has been their annual - event. A new pavilion has been erected in the addition. This is seventy feet long and thirty feet in width. The association erected it because there is much demand for the addition as a picnic ground and the members of the association thought it best to provide protection against the rain. The pavilion will also be used as a dancing hall and refreshment stand. On Labor day there will bo dancing and athletic games as attractions. A large crowd is expected to attend. Basket dinner will be served.

GERTRUDE HILL WAS SERIOUSLY HURT Thrown From a Street Car in Washington City. WILL BE BROUGHT HOME.

Mrs. Hill and Miss Hill were riding on a street car and while Mrs. Hill was alighting from the car it sud denly started, throwing her violently to the street and fracturing her hip. As soon as she is able to be removed she will be brought to Richmond. ined. Dr. Bond states that he is making several analyses of milk simply to give the dairymen every advantage of the donbt and under different condi tions. Some milk on some examinations might show certain pathogenic symptoms and on another examination show none of these, he says. Since it is hard to locate the disease sources in all milk at all times, Dr. Bond is in favor of pasteurization that all germs at all times may be destroyed in the mille.

WAS LONG IDENTIFIED -WITH LOCAL BUSINESS. Formerly Was Head of the Hoosier Drill Company and Owned the Westcott Hotel Funeral Not Arranged.

While sitting In his chair Saturday night about 9:30 o'clock talking to his near relatives, John M. Westcott lapsed into unconsciousness, and a few seconds later the life of one of the most prominent business men of Richmond came to an end. Mr. Westcott appeared greatly Improved over his condition of the past two weeks and ate a hearty supper. His death had been expected for tome time but came as a surprise Saturday night. Near relatives were at his hide when the end came. For the past week the mind of Mr. Westcott had been wandering and relatives realized that his world's battles were nearly ended. The relatives were all summoned to Richmond some time ago. Mr. Westcott's most recent Illness covered a period of about eight weeks, although he has been ill on various occasions for the past two years. Brlght's disease was responsible for his death. He was 73 years of age. Biographical Sketch. John M. Westcott long had the distinction of being Richmond's foremost manufacture and his business sagacity was not alone applied to the management of factory interests. Of late, he had not taken an active Interest in his business enterprises, but even in his, enfeebled condition his relatives who now have charge of his concerns, often sought his advice on questions of moment. Mr. Westcott was best known in the business world jy his connection with the Hoosier drill works, the Westcott carriage company, the Testcott hotel and the Union Loan and Trust company. Native of Indiana. Mr. Westcott was a native of Indiana, having been born in Union county In 1S34. His education was secured in the public schools of the county and was not extensive. His first business enterprise was as a dry goods merchant, and later in the grain and feed business. In 1R62 he removed to Richmond where he continued as a grain merchant for ten years. At the end of that time he went to Milton, Ind., where he secured the controlling Interest in the Hoosier drill works, then located at that place. The Hoosier plant remained at Milton but six years under Mr. Westcott's control and was then brought here. The company purchased property on North E street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, and the plant has been added to from time to time until it now occupies nearly two solid blocks. Joins the Combine. At the time of the formation of fhw American Seeding Machine combine the Hoosier became a part of It. James W. Carr, a son-in-law of Mr. Westcott, is now general manager of the American Seeding Machine company, and Fred Carr, husband of Mr. Westcott's grand child, is general manager of the Hoosier Drill while Burton Westcott. a son, is treasurer of the Seeding ma chine combine. The Westcott hotel, one of the fin est hostelries in the state, was built largely by Mr. Westcott, he having invested $110,000 in the building alone. Mr. Westcott helped organize the Westcott Carriage company but had very little to do with its management. He was the owner of real estate both in this county and in Kansas and Cal ifornia. The Union Trust company. which makes nothing but large loans and finances big enterprises, was formed by Mr. Westcott and Omar Hollingsworth, his son-ln-law. The West cott square wherein is located Mr. Westcott's residence and those he built for his three sons-in-law, is the finest residence district in Richmond. For a long time the square was occupied by none but Mr. Westcott and his relatives, but of late others have come to own homes there. Mr. Westcott was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and of Whitewater lodge No. 41, I. O. O. F. The men in Mr. Westcott's employ always had the greatest respect for him as he was kindly in his treatment and made nearly all of his employes his personal friends. He always remembered them handsomely at Christmas time and other holidays. He helped maintain a fund for sick and Injured employes. In 1855 Mr. Westcott was married to Carrie Mitchell, of Warren county, Ohio. To them were born seven children, Alice C. Hollingsworth, Lucilla B. Carr. Jennie M. Wilke, Charles G. Westcott, Burton Westcott, Harry M. Westcott and Maude Evelyn DeWees. Mi. Westcott's second marriage was to Mrs. Grace C. Carter of Indianapois, six years ago. There are no child ren as a result 01 mis union. Funeral arrangements have not yet '

been made,
