Opposed by MIR. Fletcher.

Mr.. Fletcher opposed the placing of
a steam heating plant in the Frank
lin building, as the next thing want
ed would be sewerage and water, and
the latter would amount to a confisca-
tion of the property assessed. The
soil is stony and the excavation would
be expensive, and property there is
not worth much.
DR.. Webster said that he was un-
able to see any connection between q
steam heating plant and sewerage
and water. Very little water would
be needed to run the heating plant.
Mr.. Fletcher said that unless sewer
age and water extension were contem-
plated, nothing would be gained ex-
cept heating by steam instead of
stoves.
DR.. Webster asked what ever was
gained except this.
Mr.. Fletcher moved to strike out
the item for 81, 600 for the Franklin
building heating plant. There was
no second to this and the motion
was not put. He said that the
Franklin building was constructed 25
or 26 years ago. and during all this
time no Inconvenience has been felt
from heating by stoves and the chill.
dren are as healthy as anywhere else.
He would postpone the change until
sewerage and water are put in, which
he thought would be next year.

HAMMOND is OUT.
Will Not Take the Judicial
Nomination.

W. S. Hammond, of ST. James, gives
it out that he will not accept the
nomination even If it is rendered to
him Saturday. He could have it If
he wanted it. and it has been the gen.
eral expectation that he would take
it. Wednesday, in talking with a
prominent attorney at st. James, he
announced that be would not be a
candidate under any circumstances,
and asked the attorney to act as his
spokesman to this effect, as he will
himself be detained at court at St.
James that day.
The Watonwan delegation, now
that Mr.. Hammond is out of the field
is strongly in favor of Mayor Pau.
Thei latter gentleman could proba-
bly, receive the nomina ion
if he would accept it, but he
states positively that he will
not take it. W. L, Comstock has
been mentioned, but he has given it
out in the past that he would not be
candidate, and it is not thought that
he has changed his mind.
Mr.. Hammond has expressed him.
self as favoring the endorsement Of
Mr.. Cray, and there is known to be a
marked sentiment in favor of this
among portion of the delegates. A
non.partisan judiciary commends it,
self to many. Even if Mr.. Cray should
not be endorsed. it seems likely that
no nomination will be made.
Messrs Lovely, Brown and Lewis

The peelle Insurance Policy.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 7.-Attorney
C. w. Smith, of indianapolis, was in this
city to-day in behalf of the Provident Pro-
tective Accident Insurance Company of
Massachusetts. which is contesting 5000

who was state statistician of Indiana until
a short time before his sudden death at St.

Terre Haute. Mrs. Peele at the time rad

grounds of the famous home and academy
of the Sisters of Providence of the United
States Mr.. Peelle was found dead in a
bathtub. One arm was twisted under his
back, and the belief was that he had fallen
into the tub and was unable to extricate
himself On this ground this 5000 acct
dent insurance was claimed and the 5000
in the United States Accident Company.
Both companies are resisting payment on
the ground that Mr.. Peelle died from nat
ural causes, and that his falling into the
water in the tub was after an acute attack
of heart disease. The insurance companies
will fight the claims on all technical points
as well. one of which is that due notice and
demand was not made for the payment of
the policies.

publican nominee for treasurer was not
missing a field and in every field he met
from one to three voters For his dinner or
nights lodging he would lend hand at cut
ting corn, saving wood or anything in which
the farmer would be engaged. During the
long night around the fire place he would
smoke stogies, entertain the buxom country
girls, trot the baby on his knee and in the
