STAID OLD QUAKER CITY GIVEN A RAP Councilman Von Pein Says Richmond Is Not What It Is Said to Be.

OTHER CITIES ARE BETTER. AFTER A TRIP OUT INTO THE WORLD, COUNCILMAN DECIDES THAT LAPORTE AND MICHIGAN CITY ARE BETTER. At the council meeting last evening after Mayor Schillinger had told what a nice time the Richmond delegation liad had at the recent meeting of the Indiana Municipal league, held at La Porte and how much benefit they had all derived, Councilman Von Pein took the floor and stated that his visit to La Porte, together with a little side excursion to Michigan City, had taught him that Richmond was not so much aa she thought herself to be. "Weare in the habit of boasting abonfour city, telling everybody thrt we have- the best of everything in the state, but when you come to looking around other cities in this state which are about our size you can see that we have not flo much to boast of. Michigan City and La Porte have us beat to death. In Michigan City there are thirty-five miles of paved streets, against eleven miles in Richmond. La Porte, is better laid out than Richmond and it has wide, beautiful streets. Most of the advantages Richmond has are natural. I am sorry that council voted against paving a part of North E street," stated Mr. Von. Pein. With this insult hurled in her face by one of her best beloved, Dame Richmond Tan screaming for a champion and found him in Councilman Bartel. The gallant knight from the fourth ward stated that the streets in Michigan City and La Porte might, in some Instances, be better than the ones in Richmond but he would bet our streets averaged better than the streets in either of the other two cities. This is probably true, as Mr. Bartel offered to bet on it. Councilman Wettig stated that the main topic of discussion at the La Porte meeting was the cities and towns act. Mayor Schillinger agreed with him. Mr. Wettig stated that at the next legislature, if the legislators reflected the sentiments of the municipal officials who gathered at La Porte, the cities and towns act would be laid away on a shelf to mould for ages. Mayor Schillinger stated that Muncie was rated a third class city under the act and that that city was now wishing it had been rated a fourth class city. Elwood ia experiencing financial difficulties because it ' has been rated in the fourth class instead of the fifth class. Here's a Beauty Hint for you Madam. Care kills beauty.

VICE-PRESIDENCY

NOT CONSIDERED BY JOHN MITCHELL (Continued From Page One) Jackson. But once on the ground, there seems to have been a liberal dis tribution of salve, for nothing came of the threats to carry the fight into the delegate meeting. The very air seems to breathe harmony, and it can be truthfully said that the democrats never went into a battle, so far as Indiana is concerned, with fewer breaks in the lines. First to Face Trial. The trial of John McGregor, county commissioner under indictment in connection with the fraud scandal revelations, has been set for July 20. He will be the first of the county officials to face the bar of justice .and there will be a stubborn fight to keep him out of the penitentiary. Little is known of the line of defense, but it is stated that the chief evidence of the state is in the form of a confession made by former Clerk Muggins, of the county commissioners' court, the man who is said to have handled the alleged graft money and divided it among the officials who were to be 'seen" when contracts were pending. This confession has never been made public, and when it is given out as evidence its full purport will be known. Orators Will Not Stop. The state board' of agriculture has not yet received a reply to its re quest that the spell binders be silenced during the state fair dates, in September. The board is inclined to be insistent, asserting that the political speakers will considerably reduce the attendance if permitted to run wild while the big state show is on. It may be put down as almost certain, however, that the request will not be granted, at least not as applied to every part of the state. It may be granted in respect to all towns and rural districts within say 75 miles of the capital city, but even this radius may be reduced. The state fair this year is to be the best ever given, and as it means much to the farmer, it is desir ed that there be no counter attractions. Best the world Affords. "It gives me unbounded pleasure to recommend Bucklen's Arnica Salve," says J. V. Jenkins, of Chapel Hill, N. C. "I am convinced it's the best salve the world affords. It cured a felon on my thumb, and it never fails to heal every sore, burn or wound to which it s applied. 25c. at A. G. Luken & Co. drug store.

Va., testifies as follows: "This is to certify that I used Foley's Kidney Remedy for nervous exhaustion and kidney trouble, and am free to say that Foley's Kidney Remedy will do all that you claim for it." A. G. Luken & Co. KNOCKS WIFE DOWN IN TOOLROOM David Hayes, Colored, Objects To Wife's Lecture. It happened at the South Sixth street pool room. Jessie Hayes went there and accused her husband David of having been too intimate with women friends from Greenville. Hayes oper ates the pool room.

MUNICIPAL PLANT PAYS JET FAST Now Owes the City of Richmond But $39,794.97 Report Shows.

THE PLANT IS A MODEL OFFICIALS OF OTHER CITIES LOOK TOWARD THE LOCAL CONCERN WITH MUCH GENUINE INTEREST. On January 1, 1908, the municipal light plant owed the city $53,580.41. On the first of this month the plant owed the city $:S9, 794.97. This shows that in tlie past six months the plant, despite the financial stringency, has paid into the city treasury on loans the sum of $13,785.44. A report to this effect was submitted to the city council last evening. The report, submitted by Controller Parry, is, skeletonized, as follows: Due the city Jan. 1 $53,580.41 Expenditures since then 25,857.17 Total $79,437.58 Receipts. From city contract $ 9,563.04 From other patrons 30,079.57 Total $39,642.61 This report was a most satisfactory one to the councilmen as it shows the plant is in a flourishing coudition, well equipped to handle all the business it now lias and will get for some time yet and is in a position tq rapidly repay to the city all the money it has borrowed from it. It is estimated that if the municipal concern can continue to repay the city at the rate of over $13,000 every six months, and there is no reason why this cannot be done, the plant will have entirely wiped out its debt by January 1, 1910. The recent improvements made make the plant one of the finest of its kind in the United States and it is used as a model by other cities. Municipal plants as a rule are not good financial investments, this fact being learned at the recent meeting of the Indiana Municipal league at Laporte, but the local plant has proven an exception to the rule. Mayor Schillinger's paper on municipal plants, read at the Laporte meeting, was heard with the keenest of interest. At Logansport the municipal plant has been in the field for several years but has never been a satisfactory investment. Its revenue from commercial lighting has been good but the plant has been handicapped because the city has never paid for its street lighting. At the Laporte meeting the Richmond delegation recommended to the Logansport officials that the city pay the plant for street lighting and this course will probably be pursued. Delay in commencing treatment for a slight irregularity that could have been cured quickly by Foley's Kidney Remedy may result in a serious kidney disease. Foley's Kidney Remedy builds up the worn out tissues and strengthens these organs. Commence taking it to-day. A. G. Luken & Co. PLEAD GUILTY TO LESS SERIOUS CHARGE Walter Kellar and Mattie Gra ham Given Fines. Upon the motion of the attorney for Walter Kellar and Mattie Graham, a new trial was granted in city court this morning. Thereupon the motion for an appeal was withdrawn and a less serious charge than that of keeping house of ill repute and associating was entered. The defendants plead guilty and were fined $." and costs. The two were arrested one night last week in company with Jasper Barrett and Alice Nunemaker and all were convicted of charges that carried jail sentences with them. Kellar and Mrs. Graham appealed their cases to the circuit court. Kellar is a reputable young man, who is employed on the P.. C, C. & St. L. railway. His attorney stated he and Mrs. Graham intend to marry. CITY FATHERS MAY ' ATTEND LECTURE Receive Invitation to Wilbur F. Crafts.

WANT SECTION MADE PART OF People of Benton Heights Do Not Want to Be Outsiders. INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE ALL SUBURBS MAY BE ANNEXED TO THE CITY IF COUNCILMANIC INVESTIGATION SHOWS ADVISABILITY. Councilman Deuker stated at coun cil meeting last evening that' the residents of Benton Heights, a suburb adjoining the city on the northwest, were anxious to have the addition taken into the city and he recommended that the matter be investigated by the board of public works. Councilman Von Pein sated that there were other additions just outside the city limits which should be annexed. He said that the people who lived in these additions enjoyed all the benefits derived by citizens of Richmond, and at the same time had no city taxes to pay. He amended the motion made by Mr. Deuker, to include the investi gation by the board of all suburbs with the end in view of annexing them to the city. If such action is taken it is probable that the population of Richmond would be increased over oOO. Mr. Deuker stated to council that there is a movement on foot to close School street, which is a part of the north corporation line and which bounds Benton Heights on the south. If this action was taken the children of residents of Benton Heights would be practically shut off from the Fairview school. Benton Heights people think that if their addition is annexed to the city, it will be possible for them to prevent School street from being closed. MUD SHOULD NOT LAY ON SIDEWALKS City Attorney Wants Enforcement of City Statute. City Attorney T. J. Study last evening Informed council that there was an ordinance on the statute books making it a criminal offense for the owners of lots to permit dirt to be washed down upon the sidewalks. For violation of this ordinance a fine of from ?1 to $25 may be Imposed. Mr. Study stated there was no excuse for having walks in a filthy condition and he recommended that the ordinance be enforced.

NAUGHTY BOYS HALED BEFORECITY COURT Commit Many Petty Depredations in South End. Eight boys the hope and pride of Beallview, appeared at police headquarters today to answer for their naughty ways. Complaint had been made to the police against the petty depredations of the boys. Last evening they selected as targets for rocks and missiles the electric arc lights on South Eighth below J street. The light at M street was demolished. Representatives of the South Side Improvement Association were perturbed by such actions and had the boys appear before the authorities. The lads were told they could be prosecuted for malicious trespass and fined heavily. They expressed their regret and stated they would be willing to pay for the damage to the light if released. Such an arrangement was satisfactory to the court and prosecutor and the boys were given until tomorrow evening to pay. AFFIDAVITSARE FILED Band Men Must Stand Trial For Inciting a Riot Last Saturday. WILL BE TRIED ON FRIDAY. Affidavits have been prepared in the city court charging Walter, Clyde and George Renk, brothers and Char les Weisbrod with inciting a riot and assault and battery on Harry Haworth. The four men are members of the Richmond Citv band who engaged in a fight at Eighth and Main streets Saturday afternoon. Their cases have been set for trial Friday morning. They have retained counsel. The names of these four men are all the police have been able to secure. Some of the witnesses to the affair claim there were other members of the band, who engaged in the fight and others limit the number to four. If the men stand trial it is probable the State will ask for a jury to hear the case. Renk appeared in court today with a large plaster covering the wound in his head inflicted bv a blow from an iron coupling pin Yielded by Haworth.
