Grave haa tendered blr resignation and again accepted the position of secretary of the Com merclal club at Grand Forks, North Dakota, from which position he re signed In order to locate here. HI unexpected action la explained by the club directors to have been caused by bis wife's health. This is the cause which he assigned In his E. Swayne. However before leaving the state for North Dakota, he assign ed another reason to personal friends. To them he stated that he and the club directors could not agree on the club policies and rather than, pursue work which, he said would not accomplish benefits, he felt It best to resign before undertaking it. For the present the position will re main unfilled. Postmaster E. M. Haas will oversee the office business of the club as he is entirely familiar with the work, having held the posi tion for three years. It Is expected that nothing will done In the selection of a successor until President Swayne returns to the city. ' What Friends State. ' ' According to his local friends Grave being cognisant of the club policies. .However, his friends say, he was Informed by club officials that these policies were entirely different from what he expected. He set about soon after he learned how affairs stood here to Again secure the position of secretary of the Commercial club at Grand Forks. The club directors declare that so for as they know these reports were untrue. They declare that he knew exactly what was expected of him as the club had thoroughly outlined its policies in correspondence with him before he accepted the position. In his resignation Grave gave the same , reason for returning to Grand Forks which caused him to resign the position there to come here his wife's health necessitated a change In climate. The work of tbe club was carried out by him almost entirely under the direction of President Swayne. The latter is at a northern health resort and not until yesterday morning did the directorate become acquainted , with the Joss of the new secretary. Few of the directors were well acquainted with him and all business was earned on through President 8wayne. -Drew Large Salary. 6o far as the directors know the only time the club policies were discussed with him, except in correspondence, was at the Commercial club banquet about two weeks ago at the Y. M. C. A. in honor of E. M. Haas, the retiring secretary. Grave was employed by the club at a salary of $2,100, thla figure being accepted after he had turned down the club's offer of $1,800. per annum. He was paid $2,100 at Grand Forks. He took up the work of the club on August 1 and left the city on last Monday. He had obtained a short leave of absence, according to the directors. In order to visit In Marion and endeavor to Influence his wife to remain in Indiana. Instead of staying In Marlon It seems that he went to Grand Forks and accepted the posi tion he had formerly held. His let ter containing his formal resignation and regret that he found it Impossible to remain here reached Richmond yesterday morning. The Grand Forks Commercial club also Increased his salary upon his reemployment, and It Is understood he now will receive $2,400 a year. The Commercial club announced that Grave had accepted the secre taryship early In the summer. At - that time, it was stated, he was leav ing North Dakota because the climate bad Impaired his wife's health and necessitated a change. He also felt the opportunities to be offered here were equal If not better than those In North Dakota and he was very am- : bltlous to make an excellent record, a ma irjciiDAurr n wi vi iiivwiinnwki Brussels.

DAIRY COMPANY IS AFTER MILK PROBE Commons Company Will Ask Municipal Research Bureau to Investigate. '. A STATEMENT IS ISSUED CHARLES COMMONS SAYS HE DESIRES INVESTIGATION 80 PEOPLE MAY KNOW TRUTH ABOUT THE INCREASE. The Commons Dairy Company yesterday Invited tbe Bureau of Municipal Research to investigate the milk situation in Richmond. Charles Commons of .the Commons company said: "We have asked the Bureau of Municipal Research to Investigate the milk business in Richmond with a view to encouraging an Impartial investigation of our business so that the people of Richmond can know the truth about the price of milk, the purity of the product that we sell and in order to go more than half way In doing the fair thing to the citizens of thla town who are entitled to know not only whether they pay exorbitant prices for milk but whether the milk which we sell is worth ' What we ask. All Representative Men. "The Bureau of Municipal Research is a body of men representing the various commercial and Improvement associations In Richmond, the South Side Improvement association, the West Richmond Improvement asso ciation, the Commercial club and the Young Men's Business club. "The truth of tbe matter- Is that we, raised the price of our milk because we could not make a fair profit on it. We were running into a hole because the factors of high farm pro ducts and sanitation had made the milk business unprofitable at the old prices though we can sell milk of the Impure variety cheaper. . We put pure milk on the mraket with all the precautions we can take in response to what we believed a popular demand we do not know whether we were mistaken in the belief that the peo ple desired a pure milk supply or, wnemer me people ao not realize now much money it takes to do this es pecially in view of the cost of sanita tion and the Increased cost of farm produce. - "If the latter is the case we are open to Investigation in every detail. Our books will be thrown open to the committee and . they will be given every facilitly in our power to get at the truth of this question. TO RECEIVE REPORT Reports on the condition of the city Improvement funds as shown by rec ords in the office of the county treasurer will be made to the Municipal Reserach bureau by Investigators whom it has employed " for several weeks. The bureau meets next Wednesday. It is the intention by the inspection of the records to ascer tain whether it has been profitable to the city to issue bonds for improvements. -J ATLANTA GROWING: Washington, Aug. 20.

TALEIIT FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA HEREI TO COST BIG SUM Announcement Made that the Various Speakers and Entertainers Will faause a $3,000 Expenditure.

DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE A SUITABLE PROGRAM Committee in Charge of this Work Most Important of All Audiences Are Very Hard to Please. Tbe unitiated do not realize the amount of labor involved or difficulties encountered in building a program that will satisfy a Chautauqua program. Upon the strength and character of the program depends the success or failure of the venture. The program committee which has charge of this work, is the most Important of all committee connected with a Chautauqua, and is composed of persons who are not only acquainted with talent but who know the wants and desires of the community in which the Chautauqua is held. . The season for securing talent ex tends from the first of September until the closing days of the Chautau qua session the next year. It naturally follows therefore, that the earlier in the season the program is made up the better are chances of securing the talent desired. As soon as one number is definitely booked everything else must work around It ,so that the chief attractions are booked booked fret. To Illustrate Mr. Jones is secured to give a lecture say on August 15. Mr. Smith is 'wanted for the 16th, but It Is found that he Is not available for that date as he is booked for an other place, but Is available for the 15th. Now, if Smith Is considered they probably shift Jones to anotner Gate if he has one open. If this can not be done it is necessary to cancel the Jones date ordrop Smith. While all booking contracts .-. provide for v the cancellation under certain conditions by either party, itJs not good practice to cancel except' for very urgent rea sons. An Important Item. Another important item to consld er is the amount of money to be spent. The talent for a ten day session may cost from $1,500.00 upward, it being almost impossible to get it for less. Two $50.00 lectures . will cover twice as much ground as a $100.00 one and either may be as good or better than the higher priced one. But the cheaper one is unknown and requires a great deal of adver tising, and may fail entirely as a drawing card, while the more expen sive one would succeed and might even save the difference in cost of advertising alone. There are also lectures which cost $200.00 and upward. They are by men of national reputation whose names are of suffi cient importance to guarantee success. The whole talent on the local program this year w;oll cost nearly $3,000.00 ranging from $35 to $250 for a single lecture or entertainment. The highest price ever paid by the local .committee was $300 to Gov. Folk a few years ago. The program must also be well balanced. Everything has its place, but freaks and sensations should be avoided on the platform. The humor and disposition of the audience is in constant. Some want mirth and music, some want humor and laughter, some prefer the delineation of pathos and tragedy, while others prefer the solid food of the "Men With Messages." the "Big Guns" aa they are frequently called. Far sighted indeed would be the program committee that could see In advance all the obstacles that may ajrtse and know the character and disposition of an audience that will be assembled at any date.' ' i .: WAS REALLY DRUNK So drunk that he could not move a single muscle of his body, George Ly man was arrested at the Old Settlers picnic yesterday. Lyman was brought to Centerville after causing some trou ble at the picnic He had to be car ried to an interurban and at a late hour last night had not recovered con sciousness. : Clyde Stewart was ar rested in the alley back of Knollen berg's store dead drunk. HOMING IS MADE After all testimony had been submit ted in the divorce case of Ellen Dowbower against her husband, George Dowbower, Judge Fox of the circuit court took tbe case under advisement. It was late yesterday afternoon before attorneys for both sides closed their cases. ' " - v .

A Thousand Cowboys arid Cowgirls will Greet Roosevelt on Reaching Cheyenne

White in the Wyoming capital the Colonel is expected tq make one oj his most i mpoyrtant addresses. (American News Service.) Cheyenne, Wyo.. Aug. 20. When Colonel Roosevelt steps from the train on his arrival at Cheyenne, Wyo. attend the annual Frontier Days celebration, which will be held next Monday to Saturday he will find awaiting him an escort of more than a thousand cowboys and cowgirls, who will greet him with the charac teristic yell of the range with which he is familiar. Many of these have ridden with him on the plains before he became famous as the wielder of the big stick. They have an idea that nothing will dee-light the ex-president so much as their enthusiastic welcome and they expect to entertain him and his friends in genuine western fashion. He is to make one of his first im portant speeches at this time in Cheyenne since his retirement from the presidency, and as he will speak in the open air under the blue canopy of heaven, a record breaking atten dance la assured for this event. His friends and admirers are planning: many surprises for him in the way of western sports. . Unique Celebration. Frontier Days" is no doubt the most characteristic American exhibi tion given. It had its inception about fourteen years ago when a few Cheyenne citizens conceived the idea of presenting a western show, but little did they conceive of the magnitude it would assume within a few years. Several scores of eastern newspaper men and magazine writers have ex pressed a desire to attend this year's Celebration, which will be held August 24-27 inclusive. The Indian in all his glory will be here. Chief Red Cloud and his band of Siouxs, among, whom are Mrs. . Red Cloud. John Blunt Horn, Loud Voice Hawk. Eagle Elk, Charles Two Bon net. Black Cat, ' DuttKn!ferSltting Elk, Make Enemy, Whito Whirl Wind, Little Cloud, Pin Head, Running Jumper. Growler and ether notable red men and squaws with their children will make their annual pilgrimage from the reservation to attend this celebration. They will bring with them their tepees, ponies, torn toms, war paint and other paraphernalia be sides souvenier for the pale faces. They will take part in several of the exciting events Incident to this occason and many of the old time specta tors will doubtless recall that the3e very Indians a few years since were active participants in the numerous raids which made ranch life at least exciting in the early days. Roping Contests. Some of the features for the exhibition this year will be the bucking bronchos and steer roping contests, for the championship of the world, the wild horse race, the calf brand ing contest, ladles relay race, sheep shearing contest, polo pony races by officers of the United States Army in full uniform, fancy roping, military maneuvers by United States army, Indian war dances, cowpony races, squaw races, potato races, stake races, hat races, buffalo races, stage holdups , and many other similar events characteristic of the early west, which is now rapidly passing. Colonel Roosevelt himself is partly responsible for this "passing of the west, for it was he who compelled the cattle baron to tear down his fences which formerly enclosed vast estates of the public domain, thereby compelling him and the flockmaster to surrender the ranges to the farmer and the homesteader. , . One of the " exciting features that will attract thousands this year is the galloping parade of a thousand cowboys and cowgirls in full western uniform with their chaps, spurs, lariats, sombreros, guns. etc. The only team of trained buffalo In the world will be seen at Cheyenne at this time. Next to the Indian himself there is nothing so closely connected with the old order of things before the advent of civilization. By no means, however, have they been so domesticated that they will eat from one's hands, but the animal is not living that the- reckless cowboy win not pit bis life against and consequently they win attempt to ride these buffalo without any support. Many Famous'RIders, The show this year will be attended by the best riders, broncho busters and steer ropers in the world. Many of them have left the ranges for years, but they feel assured that the occasion demands their presence and they want to be on hand to be thrilled by the many feats of daring and recklessness displayed by the participants in these wild and exciting events. '.v Fort D. A. Russell, established several years ' ago when Wyoming Was a part i of : the Dakotas and Cheyenne was the starting point for the -stage coaches to the Black Hills. Is just a short distance ' from the Frontier grounds.' This is the largest exclusive military post In the' United

P W 1 '? '.!...'.' '-

States. Here there is represented almost every branch of the service and with Its three thousand soldiers the military maneuvers will be at least interesting and exciting. They will also be lined up in the great parade, which will be a sight that ia'not many years will be a matter of history only. WAS A BIG SUCCESS Old Settlers' Picnic Yesterday Attended by a Very Large Crowd. PROGRAM EXCELLENT ONE Centerville, Ind., Aug. 20 Tired, but pleased, about 8000 Wayne county citizens who attended the annual picnic pf the Old Settlers' association at King's Grove, north of here today, declared before leaving that the picnic was the most successful one ever given.

CAREER OF GORE

CHECKED RY THE ' HEARTLESS COPS Camp of Two Would-be Des peradoes Raided by the Police, but One of "Bandits" Makes an Escape. , A REGULAR ARSENAL FOUND BY OFFICERS Elmer Williams and Companion Who Escaped, Stole a Boat and Started Out to Be Reg ular Bandits. Two , youthful wood-be Jess - Jameses, were baited suddenly in thvery outset of their careers by Patrol. ' man Vogelsong and Westenberg yesterday. Elmer Williams and a com panlon, who escaped. stole a boat south ot 'town and sailed down the ' Whitewater river for Missouri - to b highwaymen and desperadoes. They were Captured near Ablugton, After tbe theft of the boat had been reported a careful examination of the river valley south of Richmond was made. The 'young "plainsmen" had pitched camp just below Abington. It was in a wild nook of the valley, well hidden Jby trees and undergrowth, and had it not been for smoke from their camp fire there would have been little , probability of discovery. . One "Bandit" Escapes. ' Everett Ph111lnitownr nt lha luut . who lives about a mile south of the city, discovered the camp and report ed it to the police. Patrolmen VogeK song and Westenberg were dispatci-s. ed to the scene in an automobile. Williams was caught 'off his guard but the other boy, whose name could not be learned, was out of camp when the raid was made and was not captured. The camp had the resemblance of a genuine Missouri outfit. Young Wil liams, "whose aee " is about fourteen years, wore a red flannel shirt, a broad brimmed" cowboy hat,' encircled with a flaming bandana and khaki trousers. He also had a cartridae belt full of "thirty-eight's" and two revolvers of big calibre iu his holsters. 1 he camp had been pitched behind a huge , sycamore tree, which, while hid from the river, commanded a good view both ways.' The camp arsenal ; consisted of five revolvers from 22 caliber to 38 caliber. In addition to the revolvers were a rifle,' a' dirk and small dagger, : A thousand rounds ot ammunition were token by the police. Had Good Equipment. Besides tbe arsenal the equipment consisted of a canvas canoe, the row boat which had been stolen, a varied collection of cooking utensils, 'an eight by twelve foot tent, several heavy .horse blankets and provisions to last several weeks. , Several gross of cigarette papers and packages of tobacco were found in camp. Also there was a most complete library of Jesse James, Buffalo Bill. Young Sura Foot and similar literature, Williams is a local boy and lives on South Second' street. After being placed in the city jail be told the po lice he and his companion were go ing to float down the Whitewater, then the Ohio and finally come to the Missouri, via the Mississippi river. The camp supplies had been stored in the river bottom near Test's mills for several days. At first the 'boys thought they would go down the riv et iu a iwitu vbuw uul it was iounu it . would not hold all the supplies. The row boat was found, looked good and was "taken." Williams and his pal left Richmond Friday at noon and stole the boat in the evening. They bad intended' to get to the Ohio In about a week, after which sailing would be easy, . they thought. The police are looking for the other "desperado." The camp equipment Is at police headquarters. . J FRANCHISE TO ASHE Robert S.
