Will BE ONE OF THREE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR May
OR ARE ALL ANNOUNCED.
Hoffman and Mccullough Seem to
Have the Call, Although Moore Is
Confident of Success.

Chairman Reach has fixed the date of the
Democratic city convention for Wednesday,
July Is. The Democrats have most of their
conventions on Saturday and Keach's selec-
ton Of Wednesday is not in line with the
precedent. The convention will nominate
candidates for mayor, police judge and city
clerk and councilmen at large 1t will be
called at 9 o'clock in the morning. The
primaries for the election of delegates will
be held on the preceding day, the polls to
be kept open from to o'clock in each
precinct.
There is little doubt that all the candi-
dates who to be voted for in the con-
vention have already announced them
selves. They are J. z. Mccullough, John
w. Hoffman and William f. Moore.
Moore made a splendid showing against
Charles Mcguire two years ago, receiving
over 1900 votes in the primaries. He thinks
he has all his former strength and much
added thereto by the defeat of the Tag
CART machine then in control. DIR. Frank
A. Morrison, who was being doomed for
mayor. has positively refused TO be con-
sidered, and no other candidates are in
sight. Most Democrats seem to feel that
either Holtzman or Mccullough will be
the nominee.

civil war veterans gathered TO pay the last

Legion, of which Colonel Smith had been
recorder for several years, the G.. A. r. and
the Union Veteran Legion being repre-
sented. Services were. conducted by the
Rev. DR. Haines and the Rev. DR.. Lucas
and were especially impressive because of
the earnest ana heartfelt character of their
expressions of personal regard for their de-
parted friend and their testimony as TO his
high qualities. The Grand Army ritual
service was read by Commander James H
Porter. of the George II. Thomas Post, of
which Colonel Smith was member
Rev. d. r. Lucas read the following orig
inal poem in memory of Colonel Smith:
To lay my wreath upon this comrades bier
come. for would find an humble place,
Among the mourners as they gather here.
His many deeds of honest worth TO trace.
A Puritan he was in birth and thought
a child amid the hills and pines OF Maine
And thence through all his words and deeds in
wrought
Some elements of that strong fbred grain.
He was a man that men Of honor trust
Faithful in good or i'll and to the end
To conscience true and seeking 10 be Just,
man that men are proud to call friend.
He would not shine with those called debonaire:
He felt contempt for shams for well he knew
That toughest garb might cover diamond fair
And homely form encase heart most true
He had no miser thirst for glittering gold
For fame fever that men call him great
But in that wiser. better class enrolled
That love their God their country, home and
State.
He loved his comrades with a steadfast heart
And bore their sorrows as a partner true;
With tongue AM pen he bore a loyal part
In honor of the men who wore the royal blue.
His work is done: more with voice or pen
For right he II join the conflict and the strife
But his example speaks to living
The story OF an honest. upright life.
And saw farewell: the end has come:
BY faith, though dead. he speaketh TO us yet:
BE true 10 God. 10 country and 10 home
His voice. Lest We forget. lest forget"

Ten Acres Near Belt Railroad, South
of Washington Street, Have Been
Purchased for $1,000.
ADJUNCT OF BoBBs-MERRILL CO.
INVESTMENT OF 100000 CONTEM-
PLATED BY PUBLISHERS.
Output of HOIIenbeck's Noted for
High-CIass Work-Growth OF
Business Rapid.

The Hollenbeck press, by the purchase of
ten acres of land from the heirs of the
late Peter Healing, has taken its first step
in providing a book publishing plant of
great capacity and which is expected to
rank with the largest in the country. The
land acquired is along the Belt Railroad
south of Washington in the rear Of John
T. Brush's beautiful home, "Lombardy."
The deeds conveying the property were re-
corded yesterday and showed a total con-
sideration Of $3.50.
The plans of the Hollenbeck press are
well advanced and work on the erection
of the buildings needed will begin short
ly. The plans as prepared call for five
brick buildings, each forty feet wide and
200 feet long, with roofs of the sawtooth
construction, giving total working floor
space of over 10000 square feet.
These buildings are to be equipped with
new and improved machinery for book
making and binding and all the advantages
which are possessed by the older publish
ing plants of the East will be secured. In
all the investment will be about 100000 and
the new plant will be manufacturing adj
junct of the Bobbs-Merrill Company, whose
publishing business Is now one OF the larg-
est in the country.
The Hollenbeck press has occupied the
building at Meridian street and Monument
place for over thirty-five years. 1t evolved
from the printing business of Carbon q
Hollenbeck and its more recent work has
been books and fine-colored printing and
artistic Typography. Its output has be-
come well known because of its high class.
The present quarters have not permitted
development in keeping with the growth
of it's business and the step taken was
deemed absolutely necessary in order that
the business might be conducted more adj

HIS HEART OUT OF PLACE.
Thomas Hoben's Case Pulling to
Medical Fraternity.

Thomas Hoben, 314 West Michigan street,
is a physical puzzle that is mystery to
the physicians of the city. His heart is
out of its place about four inches and he
still lives. Several years ago ne was en-
ployed in the rolling mills at Louisville
and was compelled to stop work on account
of his heart. Since that time he has
been doing light work and does not notice
the displacement to any great extent, al
though a severe shock of any kind would
probably result in his death. Few cases of
such extreme heart displacement are ever
seen and medical experts who have ex-
amined him are unable to understand how
the man lives under the conditions.
