section seems to think Mckinley is
all right. On their way East Mr..

Which Prices Are Raised.

On the call of Secretary Undertake. Of
the State Pharmaceutical Association, re-
tail druggists from fifty cities and towns of
the State met here yesterday to protest
against the prices on proprietary medicines
which have gone up on account of the war
tax. 1t is stated that large per cent. OF
the patent medicine manufacturers of the
country have raised the prices AT the
meeting yesterday a message from Senator
Fairbanks was read, explaining that it was
meant that the manufacturers of patent
medicines should stand the war tax and not
the retail druggists. The druggists decided
to make a request that the manufacturers
return to the old prices Hereafter the
members Of the association will refuse to
handle goods sent out by manufacturers
who insist Oh higher prices. The president
and secretary of the association were APP

SHOOTING THE BRYAN PICTURE.
BENJAMIN Grant Not Guilty of Firing
at the LOsh House.

BENJAMIN Grant Not Guilty of Firing
at the LOsh House.
There was an echo of the last presidential
campaign in the Criminal Court yesterday
in the case of the state against Benjamin
Grant, charged with malicious trespass. Ac-
cording to the testimony the offense was
committed on the night of Nov. 6, 1896, two
days after the presidential election. Grant,
with crowd of his friends, was celebrating
the Republican victory and went over to
West indianapolis, taking with them a
small cannon. While passing the residence
of George Losh on Arbor avenue the crowd
discovered a picture of William j. Bryan
in the window. Witnesses testified that one
of the crowd ordered a daughter of Mr..
Losh to remove the picture or it might be
shot away. Miss LOsh declined to take
down the portrait, and the cannon, loaded
off in the direction of Loshs house. The
window containing the Bryan picture was
shattered and Mrs. LoSh was almost pros
trated from fright.
People in the Losh neighborhood claimed
to recognize Grant and he was arrested and
fined in the Justices court. He appealed to
the Criminal Court, and Jesse d. Hamrick
ty yesterday after hearing the evidence.
Grant admitted having been with the crowd
that had the cannon, but denied that he had
anything to do with the assault on LoSh S
house. He said that all he did was to
blow horn" Losh testified that his wife
was in. such a condition on account of the
shock that it was necessary to cal physi-
clan. One witness said he was present when
a constable arrested Grant. The latter, he
said, took the matter as a joke.

PHILLIPS ALL RIGHT.
With Him in the Box, First Game
Went All Right.

indianapolis and Detroit divided the plums
yesterday and by doing so Aliens men put
another crimp in their own pennant aspira-
tons, for Kansas City won two games and
now has a good strong adj The champions
woa the first game very handily, behind
Phillips, by better all-around playing and
opportune hitting. The second game they
lost by failing to hit Thomas at the proper
time and piece of bad coaching. Had Nc
Farland been held at third after his long
hit in the eighth inning, he would have
easily scored the winning run a moment af-
forwards on a long fly There was nobody
out and no excuse for running him in, as
it was sure case of being caught.
Hogriever started with hit and Stewart
sacrificed. A passed ball let "Hoggie' to
third and Beulows bad throw, after re-
covering the ball, scored him. Mcfarland
hit to right center for three bases ard came
in on MOTIFS short fly to DUNCAN, or rather
on Beulow's muff of the latters throw to
the plate, which would surely have caught
Mac. Nicholl hit for two bases, but Kahoe
flew to Clancy.
Detroit showed in front for a few moments
in the third inning when Sharrott opened
with hit and was sacrificed to second by
Clancy. DUNCAN, billiard and Camel fol-
lowed with singles, which with Nichols
tumble, gave Stalling's men three runs.
Stallings fouled out and Elberfield went out
from second to first.
Bases on balls to Hogriever and McFar-
land, together with a couple of passed balls,
a steal by "Hoggie" and MOTIFS safe drive
to center put the Indianapolis men back on
top in the last half two runs coming in.
They clinched the game in the fourth when
Clancy fumbled Kahoe's grounder as a
starter. Lynch struck out but Allen got a
hit, Phillips a three-bagger to right and
Stewart single, three runs resulting.
Detroit scored one more in the eighth,
when with two out and Elberfield on first,
Beulow hit to LETT for three bases, bringing
him in. Beulow tried to stretch his triple
into home run. but was caught at The
Mate Score.

ST. LOUIS, Aug 10.-In the Circuit Court
to-day Judge Weed appointed B. S. Muck
enfuss, president of the St. Louis Browns,
receiver of that club. and fixed his bond at
$4,000. This action was taken on the pc
tition and suit filed yesterday by the Mis-
sissippi Valley Trust Company, trustee for
the first mortgage bondholders, to secure
an accounting. The suit was against the
Sportsmans Park and Club, Chris Won der
Ahe trustee; Wilbur f. Boyle, trustee, and
others. The plaintiff relates that on Jan.
Z, 1898. the Sportsman's Park and Club is
sued forty bonds of $500 each, to run five
years. These bonds were secured by
mortgage the property of the Sports
mans Park and Club, including a lease
hold on the real estate which belongs to the
Lindel estate. The plaintiff became trus-
tee for the bondholders, and in default of
the yment of interest the plaintiff relates
that it was empowered by the terms of the
agreement to take possession of the prem
ises and sell the property within thirty
days or secure the property under decree
of the court, as it preferred.

Improvement for That Street Finally
Ordered.


The Board of Public Works yesterday
with asphalt Delaware street from ST. Clair
street to Sixteenth street The board passed
a resolution for the Improvement and set
a day-Aug. 24-for hearing the remon-
strances of the property owners against
the improvement and to take final action
in the matter. The board yesterday re-
scinded action in the resolution adopted
some time ago for paving the street with
creosoted wooden blocks. The remonstrance
against the improvement was filed May IL.
1t sets out that there is no sewer in Della
ware street from ST. Mary street to Six
teenth street, and the Improvement should
not be made until a sewer is constructed.
1t further AYERS that the improvement of
many cross streets this year will entail a
heavy burden on the property owners of
Delaware street. The property owners ask
that the improvement of Delaware street be
postponed until next year. Among the sign
ers of the remonstrance are Benjamin Har-
rison, M. B. Wilson, H, P. WATSON. Major
Taylor, Fred M. Ayres, w. T. Steele, John
D. Brosnan, Cortland Van Camp, j. S. Hol-
liday. d. NJ Parry, F. G.. Darlington James
f. Failey, Fred l.. Mayer, H. ]. Milligan.
W. P. Fishback, II. B. and l.. Hibben and
d. w. Marmon.
1t is understood the remonstrance of the
property owners will be of no avail and the
Improvement will be made. The Board of
Public Works, it is stated, thinks the
strongest petition for the improvement is
the present condition of the street itself.

Two New Western League Teams.


Milwaukee Sentinel, Aug 10.
Toronto and Buffalo are destined to take
the place of Columbus and ST. Joe in the
Western League. The plan of transferring
the Columbus team to Denver has been en-
tirely abandoned, and if President LOTUS, of
Columbus, and President Franklin, of Buff
falo, can agree on terms, Buffalo will next
season be represented by one of the strong
est teams in the country as the result of the
amalgamation. The St. Joe team, which be-
longs to the Western League, will be trans
ferred to Toronto, forming another formula
BILE aggregation, the Minneapolis team will
be strengthened where weakness is now APP
apparent, and with seven cities in the cir
cult where Sunday games can be played the
Western League will easily rival the Ma
tional in strength from financial as well as
playing StandpOintS.
These facts were acquired last night from
President Killilea and Manager Mack, of the
Milwaukee club, who spent yesterday in Chi
cago comforting with President Johnson, and
the information gives a direct clew to the
intention of the Western League magnates.
Buffalo and Toronto have for two seasons
League, but as the organization has no
compact similar to that of the Western or
National leagues, those two clubs are privi-
legged to withdraw from their circuit at the
conclusion of the present season. In both
cities Sunday games are played. The great
est enthusiasm prevails over baseball in
Buffalo and Toronto, the teams in the re-
hind the clubs are financially able to meet
any expense.

ANY OLD WAY ELECTION
TOWN OF HANOVER SENDS A PUZ-
ZLER TO THE SUPREME COURT.
Technical irregularities on Both
Sides - Receivership Asked for
White River Oil Company.

Transcripts in three election law suits
were filed in the Office of the clerk of the
Supreme Court yesterday They come from
Jefferson county and grow out of the fact
that at the town election in May last. at
Hanover, the Republican convention failed
to adopt a party emblem to head it's ticket.
AS a result the election board refused to
count the ballots cast for the Republican
candidates and directed the issuance of
certificates of election to the candidates on
the Citizens ticket, which had the proper
emblem at it's head. The lower court held
the demand of John Woolley. elected clerk,
Allan Ramsay trustee from the First ward.
and David Wilson, trustee from the Third
ward, for the ousting of the candidates of
the Citizens ticket to be rightful Charles
Clemens, the incumbent clerk, and William
Sturgiss and Lewis Jones, the defendant
trustees, appeal to the Supreme Court from
this finding, alleging that they were law
fully elected and entitled to hold their seats.
OF sixty-seven votes cast Wilson claims to
have received forty. The original ballots
were preserved and accompany one of the
three transcripts.
In the special finding of the lower court
Judge p. E. Bear calls attention to many
irregularities in the election, just as glar-
ing as the omission of the emblem. 1t
seems that there were rather lose customs
concerning town elections at Hanover, none
of criminal. but rather of a careless ma
ture. The court went more into the evident
intention of the voters than mere technicali-
ties showing in it's finding that if the
validity of the election were to be deter
mined by technicalities the other side might
just as reasonably be attacked. The town
clerk performed all the functions of an cleo
ton board and instead of designating
trustees to be elected from the. three
wards had them designated ''councilmen,"
a title unknown in towns of that size. Both
parties made nominations for trustees"
pointed out. No one charged any sort of
corruption and it was not on such grounds
the Republican votes were not counted.

ceiver be appointed to take charge of the
