The Farmers Problem,

The period has been reached in the
history of this country when producers
in every industry must figure on close
margins of profit. 1t is thus the more
necessary that every farmer WHO ex-
poets to prosper in his business, avail
himself of all the aid and information
obtainabIe And there is nothing more
useful in this line than subscription
to a first class and practical agricul-
tural journal like the odd reliable;
Kansas Farmer, Is to 20 page farm
journal which was established in Kan
sas in 1868. 1t + INKS above most of
the journals of its class, and no enter
prising farmer can afford to deprive
himself or family of it. Every issue
has information worth the price of a
years subscription 1t only costs 81 90
per year. Send at once to Kansas
Farmer Co, Topeka, Kansas, for a free
sample copy and supplement of premi-
ums, benefit offers. etc. and then call

THE STREET UNPAVED
ASPHALT COMPANY AND SEWER CON-
TRACTOR AT LOGGERHEADS.
Asphalt Where the Sewer Was
Recently Built.

There is still no settlement of the trouble
between the Warren-Scharf Paving Com
pany and the contractor in the Mississippi
street sewer work as to the repaving OF
the street. Manager McWhinnery, Of the
paving company, was before the board yes
terday asking for advice. The company is
under bond to keep the street in repair and
the sewer contractors are under bond to
place the street In as good a condition as
when they found it. The paving company
says 1t fears that the contractors will do
the work so poorly that its contract will be
in peril, and the contractor does not want
to pay the price the paving company de-
mands for replacing the asphalt. When the
company sent a gang of men there two
weeks ago to start the repaving the con-
tractor drove the workmen away. Since
then the street has been kept open in a
dangerous way, and the paving company
has been paying for a private Waterman
there at night to warn people of the dam
ger. 1t naturally wants this expense
stopped, though Mr.. McWhinnery said yes
terday that this item of expense would be
charged up to the contractor. The board
promised to step in and settle the difficulty
at an early date.

the latter stood on the north steps Of the
Union Station taking in the weather and
the crowds. Tague arrived in the city
early yesterday morning en- route to Mill

point of death. He was waiting for his
train, which was to leave at $40 o'clock in
the afternoon.
YES said Tague. ''This is a very nice
day. do you live here?'' questioned the
stranger. NO. replied Tague, and he
then gave the stranger his complete his
tory and how he came to be in the city.
The stranger suggested hat they take a
stroll to some park, which Tague consented
to do after he had eaten dinner at his
hotel, the stranger waiting for him. The
two then went to the Statehouse and

Another Hearing Given by Works
Board to Interested PARTIES.
The Board Of Public Works gave another
hearing yesterday to both sides in the con-
troversy over the right of way of the pro-
posed Logansport road into the city. w.
H. English, Judge Walker, Mr.. Merritt,
Mr.. Byram, Mr.. Cornelius, Mr.. Myers, rep
resenting the road. and Judge Martindale
were present. The board heard a repetition
of the discussion as to the feasibility of the
Belt road route, which was favored by Mr..
Merritt. He said that the objection to COM
ing in over the Belt or the ground that
there was too many tracks and no room
for more was not well taken. because of
the fact hat Georgia street is occupied
only by sidetracks which could give way
to main tracks. He said there are two
depotS now unused which the new road
could secure, and thus obviate the OBJ
lection that there are no terminal facili-
ties to be obtained in that direction. The
only change that the roads representative
suggested to his amended line of track
was to pass on the south side of the canal
by building over 1t On piles, Mr.. Myers
said that satisfactory arrangements to do
this had been made with the water
works company. The board did not an
nounce its decision.

INDIGNATION MEETING A FARCE.
Republican and Democratic Chairmen
at West Indianapolis Agreed.

The Indignation meeting at Spencer's
Opera House, West Indianapolis, last night,
TO demonstrate against the Councils action
at its meeting Thursday night in increasing
the salaries of some of the city officers
was, with the exception of several speeches,
a farce and ended in confusion. Thomas
Mount was chosen chairman and he had
great difficulty in restraining the large
number of Democrats and ~disgruntled
saloon keepers present from making q
hoodlum affair of the meeLng. Council
men Dickson and Brown, the only Demo-
Gratis in the Council, and who voted for
the increase, were absent. On the other
hand, Councilmen Gish and Wheeler, the
Republicans who voted for the increase,
were present to state their side of the case.
Cyrus Clark, chairman OF the Republican
city committee, in a speech, said that the
Councils course was wrong and that two
of the Republican member had not kept
the pledges of the party's platform in vot-
ing as they did. He said the platform
stated that the total amount of the salaries
of the city officers should be kept within
the amount of the town officers salaries.
He referred to the position of the Demo-
Gratis and said that they had made no
pledges. w. j. Shinn, chairman of the
Democratic COMMITTEES. said that the com
mittee had extracted secret pledges from
the candidates not TO vote for IN increase
of salaries and that he could not explain
He admitted, in answering questions of
Chairman Clark, that the course of the Re-
publican councilmen. in general, was above
that of the Democrats. Speeches by others
followed and a resolution was introduced
demanding that the Council recede from
its action and also suspend Eli Buchanan
and Noah Warner, the two extra deputy
marshals. A warm discussion followed in
which Councilmen Wheeler and GiSh and
others took part. The meeting was ended
by the appearance OF James Hagerty, who
began to upbraid the Council for its actions

came Disguised at the farcical proceedings
and with a wild whoop the meeting in

FIVE YOUNG ~HIGHWAYMEN.
They Hold Up and Rob Herman Kehl-
beck,.a Grocer.

Herman Kehlbeck, a grocer at No. l95
East South street, reported to the police
last night that about 10:45 o'clock he was
held up by five young men at Huron and
School streets and robbed OF a watch, 70
cents and keys to the store and safe. He
closed his grocery about 1890 o'clock end
was walking TO his home, No. 15S Huron
street. AS he was crossing School street
five young men sprang towards him from
behind a tree and ordered him to throw up
his hands. Mr.. Kehlbeck said he did not
hesitate, as one Of the five presented a
revolver. The men hurriedly searched Mr..
Kehlbeck and robbed him, and after warm
ing him to make no cutlery, ran north ON
School street and disappeared. Mr.. kebl-
beck said he would be able to identify only
the one who held the revolver. This man
he described as being about twenty-five
years old, wearing a mustache and dressed
In a light frock coat and dark trousers.
AS the highwaymen had taken the keys to
the store and the safe, officers were sta
toned at the store to capure them should
they go there to rob the place.

WAS CLOSE TO 100000
LOCAL ATTENDANCE At THE WEST
ERN ASSOCIATION BALL GAMES.
Chicago May secure n Club and Take
Annual Meeting National League.

There were just 72,H3 paid admissions to
the Western League championship games
in this city during the past season. Sixty
four games were played, the extra one be-
ing the tie with Minneapolis. This repre-
sents over $4,000 taken in at the gate and
does not include the grand stand or box
admissions. Thus Indianapolis has paid
into the Western League sinking fund over
$3.50.
The exhibition games before and during
the championship season attracted several
thousand people, and they, with the ladies'
who attended in large numbers on ladies'
days. would swell the grand total 10 near
ly 10000. Baseball is very much alive In
Indianapolis. The club. however. cleared
very little money owing to the poor attend
ance on the trips and it's heavy travelling
expenses With a circuit made up Of as
good paying cities as indianapolis the
team would make a great deal of money.
President Johnson holds that it requires
the unanimous consent of all the clubs to
change the meeting place and unless Sioux
City acquiesces in the shifting Of the meet
ing from that city to Chicago the plan
may fall through. The other seven clubs
are anxious for the change, but the Sioux
City people have not been heard from, al
though a telegram was sent them by Pres
ident Colt Friday.
There is little doubt that the National
League will put a second club in Chicago
to play there when Anson's team is away.
This club will probably take Sioux Cftyss
place in the Western League, and the plan
Is a good one. There is money in such a
club and it will be a good thing for the
Western League financially and otherwise.
