DISCUSSION

However, Nothing is Done as City Opposes Water Retaining Wall.

EXPECTS INJUNCTION

Richmond Roller Mills Company Objects to Proposed Height.

Members of the board of works and J. B. Wharton, of the Light, Heat and Power company, discussed today the dam which is proposed to replace the old Main street dam. The city is opposed to the construction of a new dam, as it claims that the city light plant will receive no benefit from It. The board anticipates the filing of an Injunction on the part of the owners of the Richmond Roller mills to prevent the new dam from being constructed at its former height as the roller mills company claims that at puch a height the dam causes water to be backed on to its property above. Matter Still Pending. If the city consents to the construction of the dam and the Richmond Roller Mills company prevents it from being constructed at the proposed height of six feet, the money of the city will be wasted. All companies interested are securing enough water at present, but it is said that the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company will enlarge its power

plant soon and will need more water than can be secured without a dam. The question la pending, the city refusing to consent to the dam and the other companies still persisting that it be constructed under the agreement of the city. Light, Heat and Power company and the T. II., I. and E. Traction company. Wants More Than $10. The board refused to rent to the Light, Heat and Power company a small portion of ground at the Doran bridge and Sheridan street, where the L., H. and P. company expects to construct a small regulating house. The members of the board claim that the rent of $10 a year Is not enough for the 10x10 foot piece of ground. Widen North Nineteenth Street. The Morton Lake and Park company dedicated to the city a small strip of Its land along North Nineteenth street to widen the street from O street to the new dam. The present street is 50 feet wide and the company dedicated 10 feet additional. In order to keep the street uniform to the Nineteenth street railroad bridge, the city will secure land from the railroad company and widen th,e street above. Plans are on foot for the hrirlrinfr rt thn Irnot next. vpar.

Weather Stops Plans. Two companies owning property on Fort Wayne avenue asked that the board complete plana at once for the Improvement of Neff nnd North Sixth streets from D street to Washington avenue. The board was unable to grant the request because of the approaching cold weather. The companies petitioned for the paving of the streets last spring but the construction of the Miller Brothers Hardware company's new building prevented it from being made. The Pennsylvania railroad will construct a switch across the streets. Pay Contractor. W. F. Hendricks, a contractor, was paid $1,050 for work done on the new light plant buildinf- There is still a balance of more than $400 due him. Plans were ordered for the paving on North Seventh street from A street to Fort Wayne avenue, to be taken up by the board next spring. Routine Matters. The board passed the final assessment roll on the improvement of East Main street from Twenty-third street to the corporation line. The improvement cost the city $11 and the Home Builders $391.80. The extension of South I street to Ninth street was approved. The city will pay the costs of having a house moved from the line of the improvement. Bonds to the amount $500 were issued this morning to pay the improvement of the city's share of the cost of hte National road. Several complaints were lodged against the sewers of the city.

TEDDY IN FIGHT TO THE FINISH

WASHINGTON. Sept. 13 "We are in this fight to the finish, regardless of results. We have only just begun to fight. This was the message from Colonel Theodore Roosevelt conveyed to Progressive members of the house by Representative Hinsbaugh of Illinois at a special conference today. Hinsbaugh was summoned to New York recently by the former president. He told his fellow Progressives that the colonel is optimistic as to the future of the party. Roosevelt promised that the Prograssive National committee will assist in the congressional campaign next year.

An important change in the management of a local store took place yesterday, when it was announced that Guy Haggerty, manager of the Douglas Tailoring Company, Main and Tenth streets, has resigned his position to take charge of a similar concern at Muncie, Ind.

Mr. Daly, of Frankfort, Ky., will have charge of the tailoring department. The Douglas Tailoring company carries a high class line of goods in made-to-order clothing. Under the new management an increase over its present very extensive trade is expected.

Eating Crow. Although the use of the expression "to eat crow" in a metaphorical sense, meaning to eat one's words, may well have dated from the time of Noah, when the bird was first looked upon as unclean and not fit to serve as food for man. it seems to have ariseu from the old tale of the officer and the private. A soldier, having shot a tame crow- belonging to one of his officers, was discovered by the owner with the bird in his hand. Seizing the private's gun. the officer commanded him to eat the bird as a punishment. With the firearm pointed at his head, the soldier fell to. but no sooner had, the officer laid aside the gun than the culprit grasped it and compelled his superior to join in the distasteful banquet. The private was court martialed the next day. and when he was asked by the examiners what had occurred he replied, "Nothing, except that Captain Bank and I dined together.-
