that paper and for the purposes of
putting mail boxes in compliance with
postal requirements. In an interview
this gentleman stated that the Capt.
tai and box would be furnished for
$3.50 and the Dispatch thrown in.
You could take the latter or not, just
as preferred; 1t all came at the same
price. When asked whether there
would be reduction If the Dispatch
we're not taken, he replied Ia the neg
alive, stating that its postmaster edi-
tor had contract with the Capital to
supply all the twelve of the new routes
in this county at the same rates and
that he was not authorized to cut
rates.
Now, nearly everyone desires coun-
ty paper, but they all have a choice.
In a deal of this kind several questions
naturally arise. No one expects a
paper for nothing, but upon It's face 1t
appears that in this case the Dispatch
is offered free Of charge. If it is, the
paper must be sore pressed for readers.
If not, the question is, "who pays the
freight ?" and those who do not ca re
to take that paper, are forced to help
pay for those who do, II they are
caught in this deal. No apology is
necessary for this article and no in.
ferences need be drawn by the HER
AID from the statements made by the
Capitals representative. It's only
fair to those along routes that these
statements be published.

At the Special Sale begun by the
Boston Store on Saturday, about one
hundred pairs of shoes were sold on
the opening day. Sales of other goods
were correspondingly large, and all Of
this as the result of single ad in the
HERALD Of last week, and few hand

ASPHALT STREET REPAIRS
THREE CREWS NOW PUTTING PAVE
MENTs IN GOOD CONDITION.
Mayor BoolxwaIter's PIar to Have the
Work Done QuickIy--East Market
Bids-Municipal Affairs.

Rapid work by three repair crews have
made all the asphalt streets in Indianapolis
almost perfect During the past six weeks
nearly 10000 yards OF asphalt have been
laid to repair streets where the asphalt
surface was broken, and the city can now
boast of the best streets in the country.
Mayor Bookwalter urged this rapid work
so that the use of these. streets would be
enjoyed all the summer. Heretofore the
policy has been to make these repairs grad
ually and thus repairs were going on most
of the season. Contracts were let by which
the Marion County Construction Company,
the Western Construction Company and the
Economic Asphalt Repair Machine Com
pany worked simultaneously. The patent
machine of the last company is now COM
plotting it's repairs on Indiana avenue.
The Massachusetts avenue resurfacing is
practically finished and a contract has been
awarded for the resurfacing of Washing
ton street. from Alabama street to the
Union tracks A resolution for the resur-
facing of Virginia avenue is pending be-
fore the board and unless this is defeated
by remonstrance this street will be put in
first-class condition. Virginia avenue is
now the only street needing improvement.
The defeat Of the resurfacing resolution by
the Council last year left it exposed to al
most complete destruction of the wearing
surface and even portions of the concrete
foundation have been ruined.
The Traction and Terminal Company is
now at work paving between the car tracks
on all the streets where this has not been
done. Brick is being used on all streets.
East and West Washington streets, Pros
pect street, Senate avenue, from Sixteenth
to Twenty-hrst, are being so paved. and
this will complete all the portions OF streets
not paved between the car tracks.

stand you have gone back on me. They tell
me you're against me-"
You are not candidate, are you, Mr..
Taggart?''
NO; but may be-
Wen. when you are come around" said
Fessler quietly.
Mr.. Fessler said last night that 1t was
true he had had such a conversation with
some one over telephone who said he was
Taggart.
1t is understood that other Reach men
were similarly addressed.
The unanswered question Is: Is Taggart
setting his sails for fourth nomination.
or is he using his personal influence in dis
guise?
The genial ex-mayor was at Democratic
man Tanning and Joseph l.. Bell had all
the help they wanted.
What do you think of the outlook?' he
was asked.
1T looks like a 'cinch' for Kern" he
said. Il am sorry there Is any. feeling
growing out of this scrap, but there is moth
ing that will prevent all getting together
after it's over and winning the big battle"
Mr.. Taggart had the air OF one who
knows positively what he is talking about.
About the same time Reach was in his
headquarters giving directions TO his lieu
tenants like general on the firing line.
Taggart says it's 'cinch'?' he was
asked.
We'll, 1 should think he would" said
the potato king 81 have been looking at
both sides of this fight. and IL strikes me
that IL is a 'cinch' that John Kern won't
get forty precincts"
DISTINGUISHED voters were home working
the fifteen puzzle.

IN KEACH'S OWN WARD.
During the day Chairman Tanning said
he would recognize the Reach election
board in the Tenth ward. which is taken
&c mean that this ward-in which Reach
lives-will be conceded to him.
There is abundant evidence Of double
crossing on both sides. The machine is

his father-in-law, Frank Sutton, on Mon
day afternoon, made statement in writing
to Prosecutor Ruckelshaus yesterday, in
which he confesses that he intended to kill

which to drive to the farm but was I'm
able TO find liveryman who would let him
have a horse. He then changed his plans
and telephoned for Sutton to come TO town
expecting that his wife would come along.
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus says that the muir
der was without doubt Dremeditated, and
the State will have no trouble in convict
ing Hoover OF Murder in the first degree.
The case will go TO the grand jury to-day.
and the indictment, when returned, will be
acted upon at once.
