The building Of Greater Elkton is now

Elkton. one of the towns to be connected, is
the county.seat. and the country through
which the road will sweep is rich in agricul

Complaint having been made to the Com
missioners that the Electric Light Company
had for the past month been turning off the
lights every night between one and two
o'clock reduction OF one dollar per night
for the month was made in their bill, and the
Secretary was instructed to so state to them
In writing. and to further advise them that
the Board would employ a competent person
to note the time Of turning on and off the
lights every night, and that statements would
be made by such report. On motion the
BailiiI was instructed to employ competent
person to keep record OF the time OF turning
on and turning oil the street lights.
1t was resolved to grant the request of the
Fire Company to allow them the use Of the
front room in Council Hal, provided they
will execute the agreement drawn up by the
Council relation thereto.

WORK ATHEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE
FORCE KEPT BUSY.
Chairman HernIy and Secretary Big
Ter neutrality-suspicious. About
the Democratic "Bar1."

Chairman Hernly and Secretary Bigler.
of the Republican state committee, were
absent from the city yesterday. The office
force is kept very busy these days writing
letters and sending out literature. "Our
work will take a sudden jump in a short
time" said Secretary Kitchener, of the
Lincoln League, and we will then be
worked almost to death until the end of
the campaign. 1t is likely that the office
force here will have to be largely aug
mented within the next week or ten days.
Considerable comment is being INDUCED
in as to the source of the revenue which
the Democratic state committee seems to
be enjoying. 1t is known that recently
several additional rooms have been en-
gagged on the top floor of the Lombard
building by Chairman Martin and Secre-
tary Hawkins and also that six new en-
ployes have been h~ired-two stenographers
and four clerks. A couple of brand new
Remington ~typewriters and accompanying
tables, costing 500 altogether, were re-
ceived at the Lombard yesterday, consigned
TO the Democratic committee. The i'm
preston prevails in Republican circles that
'eSe enemy has tapped a big bar'P'
somewhere. The fact does not seem to
cause much uneasiness at Republican state
headquarters, where the ceaseless work OF
sending out campaign literature and ar
ranging the organization in various parts
of the State continues. The seventh floor
of the Majestic building, which is chiefly
devoted to the uses of the Republican COM
mittee, is one of the coolest places In the
city, and 1t is noticeable that whenever
party workers find their way into the
place they seem very Ioath to leave it.

FIRE INSURANCE RATES
INCREASE WILL O GO INTO Eff
Feet In INDIANAPOLIS.
Governing Committee Of Western In
tfoa at Chicago Yesterday.

The committee Of Indianapolis fire insur-
ance agents met with the governing COM
mittee of the Western Insurance Union at
Chicago yesterday succeeded in having
the governing rescind its action
of placing a 20 per cent. increase on in
surance rates in Indianapolis
The news was received in this city with
great rejoicing by the insurance men, as
we'll as the merchants. The increase ar
ranged by the governing committee at a
meeting in Chicago a few days ago was to
have gone into effect to-day. The local i'm
surance men forecasted trouble should the
Increase be made and the committee was
appointed to go TO Chicago and confer with
the governing committee with the result
that there will be no increase as ordered.
IL is probable. said an insurance agent last
night, that the governing committee of the
Western Insurance Union may arrange a
new schedule for indianapolis, but should
this be lone the increase will not be as
high as first given out
The city viii be rerated in the near future
and an equitable increase arranged. Me-
owning business blocks that are fire traps
will be compelled TO pay higher insurance
than others where the risks are not 50
great.
Insurance men claim the Indianapolis fire
department is not in as bad condition as
has been reported and When some improve
ments are made. which will likely be done.
the insurance companies viii have no rea-
son 10 raise rates owing TO an alleged de-
plorable condition of the fire department.
The committee of councilmen appointed
last night provided by a resolution to in
spect the fire department will work in con-
junction With local insurance men.

TO SUCCEED ESSMANN.
ROBBERS Harding May he Appointed
WorkhoUse Superintendent.

Since the resignation of William Essmann
as superintendent of the Marion county
workhouse there have been many applica-
lions before the Board of Commissioners
asking to be appointed his successor. None
of these has been considered, but the most
possible successor the board has in view is
Robert Harding. the present assistant SUI
perintendent. Mr.. Harding has the ex-
perience essential TO fill the position salts
factorily. and is acquainted with the sue
cessful methods under which the work.
house has been conducted by Superinten-
dent Essmann. The commissioners feel
that such a man is needed TO take charge
of affairs when Mr.. Essmann's resignation
takes effect, and consider the appointment
have not fully made up their minds what
will be done.

Burke and the "staIwarts.~

Frank B. Burke spoke to a little crowd
of "stalwarts'' in the political tent on East
Washington street last night. His speech
was entirely anti-imperialistic and he
dwelt at length upon equality in suf-
frage." At no time did he mention or allude
TO the money question. He said that a poll
teal candidate in these days is always
asked TO contribute financial assistance TO
the campaign fund in all parties except the
Prohibitionists. 1.-The Prohis,' he said,
don't expect IL of their candidates. What
does a party that wants TO reform drunk
ards by government care whether its cam
didates have money or not. They don't ask
him whether he has or not" Here he was
interrupted by a man in the audience who
had been liberal with such m as
amen" correct" you're right" saying
that he had things about right" Burk
then closed the subject with the remark
that the Democrats didn't have 80 cents"
When Mr.. Burke sat down DR.. Flavius j.
Van Vorhis was called for. The doctor came
to the front and without unbuttoning his
coat recited two pieces of poetry about
the English and American Hays. After he
finished some one suggested that three
cheers be given for Burke, but the crowd
dispersed without giving that courtesy.

TAX BOARD SESSIONS.
Work of the Commission VIII Prob
ably Close To-Morrow.

TIL State Board of Tax Commissioner
held an executive session yesterday after
noon and did not adjourn unit. late in the
evening. The board is very busy fixing the
assessment of property on which appeals
have been made against former assess
ments. and expects to conclude its labors
tomorrow. In the morning r. o. Hawkins
appealed from the assessment of the Cen
trail Union Telephone Company. The board
increased the assessment of last year about
90 per cent. and Mr.. Hawkins argued that
the advance was not warranted.
T. j. O'Brien, of Grand Rapids, sought TO
have the assessment of the Grand Rapids
& Indiana Railroad reduced from $500 a
mile TO $1,000. l.. c. stanley. of Chicago,

COL. ~ROosEvELT's TRIP.

Date Here May BE Changed on Ac-
count of Carnival.
The schedule of the Roosevelt train on
its journey through Indiana the first part
of next month has not yet been definitely
decided, except as to the stop in South
Bend, Sept. s. 1t is expected that Colonel
Roosevelt will be in this city the 9Th of
October, on his return trip to the East,
though that date is subject to change. 1t
will probably be changed on account of the
Fall Carnival coming so closely-the Sth
of October. Some fear has been expressed
that the crowd which Colonel Roosevelt
will in all probability draw TO indianapolis
might be ascribed by envious Democrats
10 the magnetic qualities of the carnival.
The leading Republicans of the city are
confident that the Rough Rider Colonel
is able 10 draw a few people on his WI
account, and are therefore anxious TO have
another date substituted.

ceived over 300 applications to visit locali-
ties where epidemics are raging and look
after them personally. He said he had de-
clined to go TO South Bend, where there
is an epidemic Of .diphtheria, simply be-
cause he did not have the time to go. There
are sixty cases of the disease reported In
South Bend and a number of deaths.

WILL NOT DEBATE.
Gov. Mount VIII Probably Not Meet
John w. Kern ON the PLATFORM.


Governor Mount was asked by a Journal
reporter last night whether there was any
truth in the story to the effect that he
might possibly enter into a political debate
with John w. Kern during the campaign.
81 nave not heard a word about any such
thing" said the Governor, with a smile.
.and L hardly think 1 would have time for
it. I nave enough speaking engagements to
take up all of my available leisure and have
been obliged to decline a great many
more"
do you think such debates are effica-
oious in changing votes?" the Governor
was asked.
well, as a rule, L should hin not" he
replied, although 1 have known of a few
instances in which the vote of considerable
sections was changed after warm debates
had been held in them. OF course, l could
not say positively that the debates were re-
sponsible for the effect, but / believe they
were" The Governor did not seem to re-
gard the prospect of meeting Mr.. Kern as
a very formidable one.
