HEW THEATRE IS lllPWECT Representatives of United States Amusement Company in the City. WILL BUILD A NEW HOUSE.

UNLESS MAIN STREET LOCATION CAN.' BE SECURED COMPANY MAY NOT ENTER RICHMONDSITES IN PROSPECT. Five representatives of the United States Amusement company, one of the largest popular priced vaudeville concerns In America, were in the city Sunday and Monday figuring on a site for an opera house the company intends to establish in this city in the near futureOne site that these agents considered most favorably was the property at the northwest corner of Tenth and Main streets, owned by Will Martin and now occupied by Dr. Geist. Mr. Martin is at the present time in the west so it was impossible for the amusement people to enter into negotiations with him. Another site that attracted the eyes of the theatrical men was the vacant lot at the southeast corner of Tenth and Main street, which was purchased some weeks ago by O. G. Murray of the Sun & Murray vaudeville circuit. The United States Amusement company now has thirty-three theaters in this section of the country, and is extremely anxious to 'enter Richmond, notwithstanding the fact that it would meet competition here from the Sun & Murray circuit, which books the attractions for the New Phillips theater. In a few days agents of the company will return to this city and at that time it. is expected that the company will take some definite action regarding the location of a house here. If a suitable Main street property can not be secured, it is stated, the company will abandon its plans for entering Richmond. Richmond's fame as show town appears to be growing. At the present time there is one theater booking high class attractions, four splendid fivecent theaters, one good vaudeville house, and another in prospect Manager Murray has also been planning to build a vaudeville house on his lot at Tenth and Main street next spring and devoting the New Phillips to popular priced theatrical attractions, such as melodrama, burlesque and stock companies. . ; How to get Strong. P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress St., Chicago, tells of a way to become strong. He says: "My mother, who is old and was very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about it. In my mother's case a marked gain in flesh has resulted, insomnia has been overcome and she is steadily growing stronger." Electric Bitters quickly remedy storanch, liver and kidney complaints.

He believes it was stolen from his vest, while it hung in the wardrobe to the north of the circuit court room Saturday afternoon. That a thief would enter the very hall of Justice and carry off the watch of the court bailiff is regarded as a piece of remarkable audacity, if not requiring a great deal of . daring.

CHICKEN THIEVES WORK IN CITY Operations Principally in West Richmond. Chicken thieves have been active in parts of West Richmond during the past week. A number of coops belonging to persons residing on West Fifth street have been reported robbed. The thieves have managed to escape with their booty without leaving any clue. The police have not been notified of the thefts. The section of the West Side has become aroused and owners are taking particular care to lock their coops every night in order to protect themselves from loss. FRACTIOUS HORSE KICKS M IN FACE Elmer Kellum of East Germantown May Lose an Eye. East Germantown, Ind., Sept. 20. A fractious horse may yet be responsible for Elmer Kellum losing his right eye. While driving from Cambridge City to this town, the horse became unman ageable and kicked over the dash. Kellum who was leaning over at the time was struck sparely in the face, a cork of one of the animal's shoes striking him in the eye. His injuries are of a serious nature. How Cheap Is Your Soap? That is a question that few women can answer, because many of them buy the impure kind, made to weigh heavily by the amount of rosin put into the soap. But rosin is not cleansing. and is not cheap at any price. The standard pure laundry soap is called Easy Task. It Is all feoap and therefore goes farthest, yet only costs five cents a cake. RAILROAD TO CARE FOR THE WOMEN Those Put Off Trains to Be Looked After. The latest order that has been is sued by the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, in regard to ejectment of passengers from trains for non-pay ment of fares or violation of any for mer rulings that have been made is as follows: The elactment must be made at a station and preferably one In or close to a town or settlement or some sort; and when the person ejected is a wom an or a child unaccompanied or with a man drunk, or otherwise Incapable of caring for himself. It must be at a station where an agent is on duty; the agent must be notified of the ejectment, that he may properly look out for the ejected woman or child. WORKING ON LINE. Traction Construction Gang Engaged on Ft Wayne Ave. . Just as busy as a hive of bees, was the construction gang , of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern traction company that is at work on Ft Wayne avenue today. The clang of the picks resounding against the bricks kept up a constant din. The gang is a cosmopolitan bunch and a merry lingo is used as a means of communication between the Americans, Greeks, Italians and Bohemians, while about their work.

CRUEL FATE PURSUES BENTONVILLE FAMILY Child Scalded to Death, Now Father Is Near Death. Milton, Ind., Sept. 29. Fate seems to be unkind to the Curtis family residing near Bentonville. While recently visiting the Connersville fair, Mr. Elmer Curtis was examining a cream separator and the top of the machine blew off and struck him in the side.

PENHSY EMPLOYES ARE ANGRY MEN Officials Ask Them How They Intend to Vote at the Coming Election. OBJECT TO SUCH ACTION. RAILROAD COMPANY STATES ANSWER WILL. NOT AFFECT THE STANDING OF MEN, BUT EMPLOYES ARE SPECULATING. Employes of the Pennsylvania railroad in Richmond and other points along the Richmond division, are up In arms it is currently reported. The cause of their wrath is attributed to little blanks they have received from their higher officers, asking how they will vote at the coming national elec tion. The employes plainly put it that it is none of the officials' business who they vote for and It is declared that many of the men employed by the company will pay little heed to the blanks. These notices, which have stirred up such a sensation read: In order to learn how the men stand politically, I am sending you a blank to fill out. This will not effect your position with us regardless of how you vote. For Taft. For Bryan. For Hisgen. For Debs. The blanks are sent out by the divi sion officers of the railroad. What use the railroad company Intends mak ing of the blanks when once filled out and returned, is affording a subject for much speculation on the part of of the employes of the Pennsylvania.

HUNDREDS OF QUAIL DIEjBOM THIRST Recent Drought Works Hardship With Birds. Economy, Ind., Sept. 29. The re cent drought was responsible for the death of hundreds of quail in Perry township. Farmers report that practi cally all surface water disappeared during this period and the birds died from thirst During the latter days of the drought the birds became daring in their efforts to secure water and reports from many sections of the township say that they often times invaded the watering troughs and pump houses in their effort to secure water.

Amusements Vaudeville at New Phillips. It isn't very often that a bill comes to any vaudeville house that has the equal excellence of its numbers as has the present New Phillips bill. All the numbers are good, and worthy as headliners. Fielding and Carlos, who are the curtain raisers, are the most skillful roller skaters in the business. Fielding holds the amateur American championship, and has a medal to prove It, and the skill to hold the title. Their act Is very gracefully given. Eddie Moon, the Kid with the Wagon, made a big hit last night. . He is original, and has a mixed juvenile and musical comedy stunt that can't be touched. He keeps the laugh going all the time. Mark and Laura Davis, in "Hans, the Grocery Boy," have combined some very good comedy with some very good scenic effects and singing. Their skit is clever and their music good, and the electric swing effect certainly classy. But the last is the- best. It consists
