WM. BOCKHOFF HAS SEVERAL PATENTS USED ON CASH REGISTERS WHICH ARE PAYING .HIM NEAT R0YALTIE8.
Congratulations on the success of the South Side Improvement associitlon In securing the National Automatic Tool Works of Dayton, have been extended the officials by local citizens who are familiar with the concern arid the men back of it. William Bockhoff president of company is aa old Richmond boy and no doubt love for this city prompted him to, do it a' good turn when he had the opportunity. As one of the leading sub-officials of the National Cash Register works of , Dayton, Mr. Bockhoff has had ample opportunity to display his business ability. ' In this respect neither have his local friends nor the head officials of the Cash Register works been disappointed. Although it Is understood that his position- with the company is not one' commanding a big salary, yet inventions and improvements on the company's product, for the use of which the Cash Register works pays a royalty, have netted him a good income. The present style of money drawers used in every register put out by the company, is his patent, on " which he receives a royalty of $1 and $2 according to the size of the register, fdr every machine sold. A well known Inr.il wholesale dealer who is well ac
quainted with Mr. Bockhoff said that he was practically the brains and energy of the company today. It is understood on good authority that Mr. Bockhoff has invested all his money in the tool works which is to locate in this city. His associates are also men of business standing and backed by capitalists. . Persons who are interested in the growth of he city.and not particularly In the South Side ;say that the factory is sure to be a success under the management as announced recently. The company's present, location on a tbird floor of .a factory building in Dayton can not be enlarged and no other suitable place can be found , there in which to place tho concern. Dr. L. F.

believe that he was suffering from it. About 1:30 o'clock this morning, Mrs. Bell was awakened by her husband's struggles and heavy breathing. She spoke to him but received no answer. She summoned a physician and members of the family, but before they arrived he died. Death waa pronounced as due to heart trouble. Several years ago Mr. Eell was overcome by the heat and since that time has always been affected by either very hot or cold weather. Mr. Bell was formerly superintendent of the Henley Roller Skate factory, this city and afterwards purchased the Thomas Morris nurseries east of the city. As proprietor of these he obtained a wide acquaintance in the county and did an extensive business not only in this county, but . throughout the middle west. He was regarded as a business man of high character and standing. News of his sudden death spread rapidly over ihe city this morning and his friends were greatly surprised.

If the president did not refrain from upsetting the agreements they were reaching. To this the president is said to have retorted that if no bill was, passed at this session he would

"'""' Under Great Strain.
' Such colloquies as. this convey an
idea of the severe; tension under which the leaders of the republican
party have been working in order to
accomplish the socalled "downward
revision." When submitting to executive pressure for .free hides the senate conferees were forced to abandon some of the western senators who had
supported the finance committee through .thiclC and thin while the tariff bill waa under discussion in the senate, and they found themselves in an awkward position with respect to get
ting a majority vote for, the-report.
It was absolutely necessary to make concessions as to other schedules in
order to make sure of a sufficient number of votes for the final passage of the bill. The most convenient way of accomplishing this result was to
bring into camp enough of the west
ern senators who could be partially
reconciled for the loss of the duty on hides by an - increase: in the lumber
rate. Consequently they boosted that
duty up to $1.40, and when the bouse
conferees demurred the situation was
explained to them in such a convinc
ing way that they acquiesced in the
Increase. . Obstacles Too Great.
It would be easy enough vto get $1.25
on lumber through the house, but the
obstacles in the senate were of a more
serious character! Senator Aldrich
believes the president did not under
stand this delicate and complicated situation when he told a number of
congressmen . that anything above $1.25 on lumber would not meet with
his approval; hence the sharp dia
logue between the .senator and the
president yesterday afternoon. Last
night the matter had been fully elu
cldated to the president, but if he
should not be -converted to the con
ferees view there will be trouble not

(Staff Correspondence.) Hagerstown, Ind., July 29. This was Richmond day at Hagerstown Fair. The little town about noon was invaded by a delegation of Quaker City people, 3CO strong. All wore yellow
badges of the Young Men's Business club, and each was armed with umbrellas, and red, white and blue Fall Festival tags. No sooner had the Richmond crowd arrived in town than it began to get busy, i There was no parade or demonstration of any kind. The boosters were there on a business mission, to advertise the festival, so they had no time to waste in parades. Promptly on setting ; foot In Hagerstown they spread all over its confines, men, women and children, were each and every one adorned with a yellow badge while every dray, rig, automo
bile, telephone post, fence and house was decorated with red, white and
blue tages. A half hour after the arrival of the Richmond delegation Hagerstown looked like a rainbow. The Richmond crowd at the fair this afternoon overshadowed even Hagers-
town's. One could not turn around without colliding with a Richmond man. Hagerstown people were extremely cordial in their reception and assured members of the Richmond delegation they would lend a helping hand to make the Fall Festival a success.

COUNTY FAIR Oil
AT
HAGERSTOWN
Randall Edmunds, negro, pugilist,
baseball player and shine, demonstrated his prowess as a fighter last
Saturday night on Ft. Wayne avenue,
between D and E streets, knocking Ottis McKinney in the gutter and put
ting Wiley Thompson out of commis
sion.' Edmunds and McKinney were
both arraigned in police court this af
ternoon. The former acted as nis own
attorney and asserted that he acted in self defense. Byram Robbins, represented McKinney. McKinney was
found not guilty and. after receiving a lecture from Judge Converse was let go.
The testimony of the case was very
amusing. Fremont Webster, colored,
who was a witness of the affair, in
telling his version of the fight, stat
ed that Edmunds was the aggressor. He stated that Mrs. McKinney had asked her husband to go home and Edmunds had also told him to go with her, when McKinney wanted to stay.
The fight resulted from this difference of opinion between Edmunds and McKinney. Webster stated that Ed
munds knocked McKinney's head off
and then put Thompson in the gutter,
Thompson who testified also, remarked as to the severity of the attack of
Edmunds. He s?.id he was hit in the
jaw and landed against a scaffolding of a new building with sufficient
force to knock the building down. In
cross examining Thompson, Edmunds
asked him several questions and at
tacked the integrity of the witness.
causing Thompson to reply, "I am
swearing by my hand."
When Edmunds went on the stand
in his own behalf, he declared that McKinney became abusive and that
Thompson held him so that McKinney
could hit him. The witness stated that he succeeded in breaking lose from Thompson and putting botli in the gutter. "After accomplishing this feat, Edmunds'.ran to the Louck and Hill lumber yards,; North Third street and hid for several hours, arriving home late and with his shirt torn off his back.
Hagerstown, Ind., July 29. Yesterday really marked the opening of the twentieth annual fair of Wayne county.' Weather conditions' were good and the racing of the afternoon was fair. The attendance was the smallest that it has been on a Wednesday for several years. Several reasons are given, among them the fact that no family tickets were issued. - Another reason was that the farmers have been put back with their .work on account of the wet weather and many were too busy to quit their work. The fair is clean in every way and it is a
noticeable thing about the fair that
there is no gambling and no booze on
the grounds as has been the case a
few years ago. Races Were Good. The races were as follows: . 3-Year-Old Trot Pgrse $200, Margaret Tell (Shoemaker) .. .2 Raggedy Bill (Emmerson) .... 1 The Racer (Rafferty) 3 Goldline (Roser) ............4

BUSINESS CRISIS RAGES AT TIPTON
(American News Service) - Tipton, Ind., July 29. Nothing has been heard as to the whereabouts of the movements of Noah Marker, the absconding employe of the First National bank. The opinion prevails that he is now beyond the boundary line of the country. Photographs are In the hands of the federal authorities and Pinkertons. It has developed that Marker had been preparing for ten dars to leare the country providing he failed in the attempt to scoop together enough money to make good his then existing shortage. No official information Is forthcoming pending the completion of the examination but it is reliably stated that checks as well as notes were forged by Marker. A shortage of something in excess of $110,000 is traceable to Marker and in addition the bank has a hundred to a hundred and fifty thousand dollars tied up In "bad" loans. It is conceded that a business crisis exists in Tipton, but confidence prevails that the stcrm will be weathered If any success in collections Is met with.
