IS Partnership of Nicholson & Brother Has Now Become Incorporated Company. SENIOR PARTNER REMAINS MEMBERS OF THE PIONEER FAMILY CONTINUE AS STOCKHOLDERS WITH ADAM FELDMAN THE MEW MEMBER. Announces. made elsewhere of tbe dlMolutiou partnership of one of the oldest business establishments in the city. The firm of Nicholson & . Brother is dissolved, as it has existed for forty-six years and will become an Incorporated concern. One new member is taken into tbe, organization which will remain in business at the same place. Tbe venerable Timothy Nicholson, dean of tbe company, will ' continue at its head. A summary of the history of tbe business as prepared by a member of the firm is of Interest. Fifty years ago Timothy Nicholson and his brother, John Nicholson, formed a partnership to conduct the boot and shoe business in Richmond, under the firm name of Nicholson & Brother. . The firm continued in that business but a short time, sold tbe shoe store and purchased, a small book and stationery store situated in a small room eleven feet wide on Main street, near Fifth, the room being the waest part the room now occupied by Joseph Hassenbusch. In -1869 the firm moved their stock to the west room of the Odd Fellows' building. No. 720 Main street, where it has ever since been located and continuously in business. In the year 1873, John Nicholson removed to Baltimore and sold his interest in tbe . business , to his brother, Timothy Nicholson, who continued the business under the same firm name until 1888, when two of the sons of Timothy Nicholson, Josiah W., and Thomas Nicholson, were given an interest in the firm and business, tbe old firm name - continuing as before. About this date the store room was enlarged by adding largely to its width and size, adding windows to tbe rear of the joom to form 'the present large,' well lighted and - commodious wall paper department, not excelled by any In the state. In 1906 Josiah W. Nicholson, on account of ill health, transferredhls interest In the business to his father and retired from the firm and from active business, the remaining partners, Timothy and Thomas Nicholson, continued the business under the old firm name until August first when it was determined to form a corporation, under . the name of Nicholson A Brother, and continue the business as it . has been conducted for many years, under the same management and name, but as a corporation instead of as members of the families, with Adam O. Feldman who has been in the employ of the firm for .many years r and , is 'well known in connection with the business.GAVE SURPRISE PARTY. Milton, Ind., Aug. 4.

But Indian Bad After ting It. GetFor the j third time this summer John Thomas, the full blooded Indian who became stranded here following the break up of a wild west show at Cincinnati, is in the county jail.

EXPENSE WAS TOO GREAT SCHOOL STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN PUT IN FIRST CLASS 8HAPE AND SAVING TO TOWNSHIPS WILL BE EXPECTED. With the exception of high school ! afiirlonra via lnSnafAfa nrllt Vr v.n,4 I Township Trustee James Howarth of pupils living in the township to attend the Richmond cUy schools. Mr. Howarth announced this ultimatum this morning and explained his reason by stating - that the expense to the township was hardly justifiable concerning the excellence of tbe township schools. ; During the school year of 1908-09, Wayne township went to the expense of approximately $2,000 to transfer common and high school pupils from the township districts to the Richmond schools. The cost of transferring pupils to the township is $2 per month for each common school pupil and $4 per month for each high school student. The different district schools of the township have been put in the best repair by Mr. Howarth during the present vacation and within ten days will be jready for occupancy. In all about $1,500 was spent on improvements. The improvements included repairs to all parts of premises. Several of the buildings were painted on the inside. Special attention was givon the sanitary conditions of the school buildings and Mr. Howarth is satisfied that they are in the best possible shape. Approach Model Schools. Care has been taken in the selection of teachers and only those of high standard have been secured for the ensuing year. With the care that has been taken to provide model schools, Mr. Howarth-now intends to see that no. transfers of common school pupils are made,' no matter what the conditions. He is backed in his stand by County . Superintendent O. W. Jordan, who is much pleased with the conditions of the school buildings and the teachers engaged. : 'Owing to the fact that there is no township high school the high school pupils will have to be transferred to this city. By. following his decision Mr. Howarth expects to save the township several hundred dollars. The expense incurred last year can not be entirely eliminated owing to tbe necessity of transferring the high school pupils to the city. ' All money spent by the township in transferring pupils goes to the school fund. A Prohibttad Inscription. In the west cloister of Westminster abbey, in the oldest part of the building, imbedded in tbe pavement is a slab of marble marking the grave of John Broughton, who was a verger in the abbey for more than thirty years and before he obtained tbe situation was the champion prizefighter of Great Britain, holding the belt for more than twelve years. : Tbe guides who show people around tbe abbey say that when be was buried in the cloister some of his admirers wanted to immortalize him with an appropriate epitaph, and they indicate a blank space under his name which was left for the Inscription, "For twelve years champion prizefighter of England, bat It was prohibited.

MARKER OFFERS PR00T0F CLAIM Resents Statement He Was Not in Louisiana While Detectives Hunted Him.

TELLS ABOUT HIS SOJOURN SAYS HE WATCHED FISHERMEN CATCH AND SKIN CATFISH AND CITES TRADEMARK ON BAND OF HIS HAT. " Tipton, Ind., Aug. 4. Noah R. Marker, defaulting cashier of the First National Bank, has resented the published statements that he was not at Louisiana, Mo., during his absence from this city. When he returned he would give no definite information as to the place be stopped or the manner in which he passed his time. The inquiries made , at the Missouri town showed no trace of him. Yesterday afternoon he not only gave his boarding place, but told of his sojourn there. He bad given his name as A. F. Land, and he registered, under that signature at the boarding house of a Mrs. Lindsay, at 217 North Main street. He declares this fact can be verified by inquiries. He spent one afternoon in tbe shade of an awning watching the work of contractors who were erecting a new stone building. He says the workmen will remember him. Another day was spent on the wharves of the river watching the river men skin catfish for the markets. As additional proof that be was in Louisiana, Mo., he has a straw hat which he purchased at Michaels, with the band bearing the firm name and the place of purchase. These facts were nomade known until today, buj he says they will . substantiate bis statement that he made the trip which he detailed. FRESH FISH IS NICE Friends in Michigan Run Risk In Sending' It Out of ' That State. MUST STOP THE PRACTICE Local visitors to northern Michigan resorts through the summer who are in the habit of sending specimens of their enormous catches to their friends in this city, are said to be violating the interstate commerce law more than ever this ummer and if caught expressing fish out of the state will be dealt with severely. The law provides that no fish, with the exception of suckers, can be shipped out of Michigan, and persons doing so are subject to a heavy fine. It is a common ocurrence to see one smack his lips and speak of the excellent bass received from "So-and-So" at Petoskey the other day. M,any persons do not know this is a violation of the law. An investigation is being made of the matter with the view of stopping the practice. PickLd Tea as Roliah. Pickled tea. "letpetso.' is a rare delicacy in Burma and Siam. The leaves are thrown Into boiling water and there remain until they become soft, when they are rolled by hand on mats and allowed to cool. They are then rammed down tight into the lnternode of a bamboo, a stopper is made of guava leaves, and the bamboo is suspended two days, with stopper down, to drain off the water, and then burled in the ground till the letpet has matured, when it is ready for sale and use. If not buried the letpet becomes black and spoiled instead of yellowish, as It should be. The letpet is rarely made into a drink, bbt is eaten, generally with oil and garlic. Doubt In the Matter. A story is told in an English villas of a man who visited the schoolroom when his nephew was hard at work at his lessons. "Well, Jack," said the uncle, "good boy this morning, I hope." Jack looked at the clock, which stood at half past 11. and then doubtfully at his teacher. "I dunno yet, uncle." he said. "There's half an hour more." Manchester Guardian.

Unless something radical is done soon it is alleged that the beautiful shade trees of Richmond of which the citizens of the city are go proud will be a thing of the past A peculiar in sect which creates a kind of scale is infesting the trees at present and kill ing them in large numbers. ratriCK McKlnlev. the local tree trimmer, stated this morning that more trees were dying this summer tnanany other summer for many years. While the principle cause for this wholesale destruction of the shade spreaders is attributed to the insects that infest the trees Just at this particular season of the year, it is declared that a INVESTIGATING CASE Thirteen Year Old Boy Locked Up in Jail at Hagerstown. PROSECUTOR INTERESTED Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, probation officer was sent to Hagerstown today by prosecuting attorney Charles Ladd in order to secure evidence against a thirteen year old lad by the name of Rhodus who is now confined at the Hagerstown lockup. The boy was locked up for the theft of bicycles. He is entirely too young to be confined in jail and Mr. Ladd intends to make arrangements immediately for his removel to a proper place. The lad's sister Lucile Rhodus was sent to the White institute recently and it is probable that a similar disposition will be made of this child. The parents of t the boy seem to have no control over him, from the understanding obtained by Mr. Ladd. "I am very proud of my ancestry," aid a grand dame to a wealthy manufacturer. "Do yea come of an old family, Mr. Slicker?" "Oh. yesr was the reply. "My grandfather and grandmother both lived to be over ninety." PhiladeP pbia Inquirer.

leak in the gas main on North Tenth street is responsible for tbe death of many trees in that section of the city. When Tenth street was being macadamized last fall a gas leak was discovered and although it was promptly fixed, it is asserted that the roots of a number of trees were so effected as to result in the slow death of the trees.
