REGISTRATION LAW cosTLnocoufm It Will Take from $7,000 to $10,000 of Taxpayers' Money This Year. What will the registration law passed by the last legislature cost Wayne county the first year of its enforcement? Has the law done any great good and have the benefits derived from the law towards cleaner primaries and elections equaled the cost of the registration? These questions are being asked frequently in the corridors and offices of the court house as the second session of the county board of registration draws nearer. The second 'session is to be opened September 6 and it is likely that the session will continue for two days. "''"( The first session was held May 9. The third session will be opened October 7 and may continue for two or three dayB, in case five or more voters so petition. The cost of the first session amounted to $2,080. This was but a one-day session. The entire cost for the first year of the registration law's enforcement, it is estimated, will range from $7,000 to $10,000, in Wayne county alone. - Only 33 2-3 per cent of the voters in the county registered at the first session, there being 4,377 voters registered. The cost per voter, as figured by the auditor, was forty-seven and one-half cents. The inspectors of the board have been notified .to report rooms which they will be able to secure in their respective precincts to the county auditor.

Influx of Suit Cases at Station Sure Sign Hay Fever Season Here

"The bay fever season is here," remarked Baggagemaster Paust, as he waved his hand over a large number of suit cases in the baggage room. "Even If I had forgotten that the last weeks In August are the ones that send the affilicted ones northward, the sudden influx of suit cases to be checked to the Michigan resorts would 'have proved a sudden reminder." "Hay fever is on the rampage in Richmond sure, this season," continued the official. "Is your neighbor a physician that you are so well posted on the prevalence of the malady?" asked a loafer. . "A congress of physicians could not ascertain each season the increase or decrease of hay fever victims in Richmond with more accuracy than can I," rejoined the baggagemaster, again waving his hand over the suit cases that had provoked his first remark. "I have been handling baggage at this station for many years, and I MAYOR FINDS SMOKE Declares It a Nuisance and Must Be Stopped., Mayor Zimmerman was strolling down Main street late this week congratulating himself that Richmond was the spotless town of Indiana. "Doc, I want to show you something," was the hail that aroused him from his contemplation. A West Main street merchant led the mayor to the rear of his store, and pointed to the shutters on the windows and the clothes which were suspended from a line in a yard nearby. The doctor's eyes popped as he saw how smut and smoke from the stack of a factory in the neighborhood had covered everything in sight with a black coat. "That's got to stop," was the mayor's laconic reflection. The city Are chief was sent out to inspect. He reported that the factory was awaiting a smoke consumer and that the nuisance would be abated soon. In the meantime neighbors are compelled to keep their doors and windows closed. The Two Sexas, Miss Lillian Russell on one occasion was congratulated on her unfading beauty and on her high spirits. Miss Russell, laughing gayly, replied: "A woman Is as happy, you know, as she looks pretty." "And a man?" said her Interlocutor. "Oh, a man," she answered, "is aa happy as he feels Important." 1913

know many of the trunks and suit cases of the victims by this time. I can gauge the extent of the malady each season by a glance at the baggage that comes in daily to be checked northward. This year It is heavier than it has been for several years past. This is the first time I have seen many of these trunks and grips." The observation of the baggagemaster was met with a general shaking of heads, his listeners believing that he had spun a railroad yarn. Inquiries made of doctors confirmed the statement of the baggagemaster. The ravages of the malady are daily sending northward hundreds for relief. One of the leading physicians said today that many new victims were added to the list of sufferers this year. Some persons who had been able -to stay in Richmond during the hay fever season in the last few years, were attacked again this week and are now in Michigan.

BLOWN OUT OF BED Blackhand Bomb Went Off in N. Y. Tenement. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Aug. 24 Three children were blown out of bed and a struggling moD of 150 tenants crowded the narrow halls of a five-story tenement at 214 Christie street today, when a black hand bomb was set off outside the bedroom door of Pedro Bellone, a well-to-do Italian, whose grocery store was on the ground floor of the building. Although the door was blown in and the walls wrecked lio one in the room was hurt. The house being In the heart of the ' bomb infested district of Little Italy, nightly precautions were taken to bar the doors leading into the building. In their excitement the frenzied Itali ians fumbled at the bolts without being able to open them. This increased the alarm. Finally the police had to j improvise a battering ram and break down the doors. It is supposed a blackhand entered and left the house through the roof. The Word "Nugget." "Nugget" was formerly used to signify a bit or lump of anything, as a "nugget of tobacco." Nowadays, however. It Is used principally of gold as It comes from the mine. This use Is Australian. Governor Sir William Denlson of Austra.Ha wrote in 1852, "In many Instances the gold is brought to market in lumps or nuggets, as they are called." 1913
