Evidence that the death rate among Civil war veterans In the county is in creasing rapidly Is indicated In the purpose of a special meeting of the county council on Saturday. In making up the budget for 1910 a year ago the council appropriated $1,500 for the burial of old soldiers, whose estate or families could not meet the expense. This fund has been used up and there are several claims now on file with the county auditor for burial of old soldiers. The county allows $50 for the burial of each veteran who Is buried at the expense of the county. This Is the first time on record that the death rate among the veterans has been so large as to require an additional appropriation to that as originally made. The election on Tuesday, November 8th, will require a larger expenditure than at first thought necessary. The council will consider this matter at its meeting and it Is probable $250 addi

tional will be appropriated. There are one or two other county funds which have run below the appropriation and which will be bolstered un by addi tional distribution of the county's yel low boys.

Commercial Club Committee

Has Already Sold Sixty Shares and Will Sell 240 More by November 1. OPTION WILL EXPIRE ON FIRST OF MONTH If Hawkins Property Is Ac quired. Richmond Will Have One of the Best Amusement Parks in the State. Following a meeting that was held Tuesday evening by the Richmond Lake and Park committee at the Commercial club rooms an active campaign to sell the stock in this project will be inaugurated. The com mittee, of which Ray Robinson Is chairman, has thus far devoted only a few hours to an effort to sell stock but at that has placed sixty shares and is confident that by November 1, when the option on the Hawkins ground expires, it will be able to dis pose of 240 shares more, insuring a fund with which the seventy acres of land can be purchased, thereby laying the ground work for. the most pretentious project of the kind the city has ever had presented to it. The public is already quite familiar with the plan to purchase the Hawkins land, which is northeast of and adjacent to the city, with the hope of making it available as permanent quarters for the Chautauqua, providing summer resort facilities by the. creation of a large lake and providing a center for conventions and other gatherings that may thereby be attracted to the city. Is the Best , Site. The purchase would secure for park and other purposes one of the few locations that is now available in this way and It Is considered well to make the purchase before this land is old and disposed of for other purposes. putting it out of reach for a project of this nature. This is considered one o the best propositions that has been offered since the - purchase of Glen Miller park. With this tract of land made Into a park, containing a lake one mile long, the next step, would be a riverside drive from this park west past the old Nixon paper mills, thence south down the river to the old Test Woolen mills, making Richmond un surpassed In the way of a beautiful park and boulevard. This stock will be sold in shares of $50 each, allowing the purchaser to pay one-third as soon as the entire stock Is placed and the balance in four equal payments, ninety days apart, thus allowing the man of lim ited means to become a shareholder and exchange his stock for a lot and put him up a little summer cottage or tent in which he and his family. may enjoy the luxury of a delightful little summer home, out in a pleasant grove on the bank of a lake, with fishing and boating for a pastime. The members of the committee, as well as the Commercial club as a body, this organization being the father of the plan, is hopeful that the people of Richmond will not allow this opportunity to promote the fu ture welfare of the city to pass for lack of interest DEDICATION DELAYED Delay in the shipment of materials contracted for the new high school building has caused the school board officials to postpone plans for the ded ication of the building for several weeks. The art gallery will be dedi cated on Wednesday evening but the remainder of the building is unfinish ed in some respects. It may be that it will be January 1 before the building will be formally opened, although it is not closed to the public now. The marble is what la delaying the contractor now. This is to be used on the stairways and for wainscoting. The stairways are now covered with rough boards. JEWISH FEAST DAY American News Service) ' New York. Oct 19.

QUELLS TRAIII RIOT Young Preacher on Hearing Profanity Begins to Read the Bible Aloud. GAVE NO FURTHER TROUBLE Butler, N. J., Oct 19. Gospel preaching as a means to quell rowdyism was tried with success here by Benjamin Kober, a young minister of Paterson. Not that he induced the rowdies to read the gospel, but read It himself to them. They were on a train of the New Yorkv. Susquehanna & Western railroad when they suddenly broke out in a rough and tumble Ight, using profanity that would have shamed the vocabula.y of a canal driver. V While women trembled with feaf and men frowned with timid impotence, young Kober rose to the situation. First he mildly rebuked the men. Then before they could recover from their amazement he had fished a Bible out of his pocket and was reading from the fifteenth chapter of Isaiah. The trouble makers recognizing a minister, listened with respectful attention till he finished. They had absolutely no further remarks to make from that time until they left the train. , The youthful preacher told questioners afterward that he . felt called to speak when he heard the profanity.

Former Secretary of Interior

Tells Large Crowd at Pythian Temple that Beveridge Is Worth While. ADDRESS EFFECTIVE, MINUS ANY ORATORY He Said Republican Party Was Not Perfect, but There Is Enough Good in It to Redeem Itself. . . Before a large crowd, without re course to rhetorical effect or oratoric al bombast Jamea R. Garfield of, Ohio, former secretary of the Interior and one of the most prominent, figures among the progressive element in the republican party last night at the Pythian Temple delivered what doubtless was the most effective the republicans. Mr. Garfield was inthe republicans. ; Mr. Garnel was introduced by W. D. , Foulke. Mr. Gar field speaks straight from the shoulder, is clear in argument and .presents his case in such a way as not tov offend the member of any party. He made one of his strongest points in his declaration that while there may be room for some criticism of the republican party, he can see nothing in the situation either in Ohio orIndiana that would lead him to leave it for the democratic party. He be lieves the democrats have 'nothing to offer more than their promise of changed conditions and that there ia - no assurance that they can make their promises good. His plea for the sup port for Senator Albert J. Beveridge -and for other nominees of the party - was strong and met with the approval of the audience, his high praise of Senator Beveridge being especially applauded. Mr. Garfield does' not believe it is sufficient reason to vote against a man because he does agree with the v abaoltttely. If tka candl date is a moral man and clean in every way, the mere difference of opln-1 . Ion should not be sufficient reason for withholding support inherits Good Qualities. . Mr. Garfield believes that the rev ' publican party of today has In it all the good qualities that ft inherited iron us wuuutni ui . uiu m wouiui j ago, and that it can and will within . itself work out to the satisfaction of the masses the solution of the great problems that now confront the coun-, try. He plead for - support on the ground that the party is still worthy of being trusted with the affairs of state and that the elements that are , coming into contrpl t of It will be of such a nature that the. wrongs that. are now decried will he set right In opening his address Mr. Garfield expressed his pleasure In again tak-'

ing part in a campaign in Indiana, he having spoken for the republicans two years ago, Richmond being one of the t -cities visited. He called attention to' the changes that have come about in the two years,' some of which, ho saidV have been forward and others have not been forward. The present cam

paign is a very important one because - it will determine for the next two .

years the policies that are to be followed by -this country. ; The ; state -questions, he said, must be settled by the state, but the national questions affect us alike and It Is the voter's duty to compare notes, find out the conditions and make up his mind as . to what is the best thing for him to do. He said he hoped there were democrats present because be believed democrats should attend repobll-. can meetings and republicans should J attend democratic meetings in order -to get the other fellow's point of view. -If a man works only in his own party he does not make much progress. Raps Personal Abuse. Mr. Garfield denounced blind par tisanship and ' personal abuse in po -litlcal campaigns. There is nothing to be gained by an unfair assault and it redounds, as it should, to the die- -advantage of the author. Criticjem should be founded on, fact He looks upon citizenship as a great obligation, ' as a duty, and - declared - that if all would accept the present day problems in that spirit their eolations -would be found easier. "A. straight line no longer divides the parties,' -said the speaker, "a condition that is due to the new problems that face as. Men are seriously at odds within the party itself. In the republican party there is a wide divergence of opinion , ' as to what ought to be done. In the democratic party. there is as wide a, divergence of opinion, seme believing that Mr. Bryan is right and otheri that Mr. Parker is right Men are -trying to find out - what party repre--sents in the greatest degree the gen- ;.' era! good." Mr. Garfield declared bis belief in party organisation, but he has no use for the boss. Neither does he think there is any demand far a new party. Its organization would bo a waste of time and money and energy if one of the old parties can bo made to serve the purpose. He admitted there Is
