DECATUR
Council Raises Salary of Town Officers.
 Other News.

New Decatur, September 2.-(Special.)- On account of the increase in the revenue of the city and the additional work re- quired of the city officers the couhcil saw fit last night to increase their wages.
 Mayor Sam Blackwell's salary was in- creased to $50 a month Heretofore the salary of the mayor has been only little over s16 a month. MT. Blackwell has made the best mayor the city has ever had He has collected more in fines during his ad- ministration than was ever collected be- fore, and has been working prisoners, who were unable to pay their fines. on the streets. This is something that has never been done here before.
 The salary of the marsha, was raised from $50 to $50 a month, with an extra allowance of $l5 month for horse.
 The salary of police was raised to $50 a month.
 The electric street car company has or dered six new cars and expects to have some of them running by October 10 The present system of mule cars has Teen in operation here for many years. and the change to electric cars will be quite an event in the history of the city.
 Postmaster E. P. Jennings says that several rural mail routes will probably be established from this city in the near fu- ture. He says that three men will soon be sent out over the proposed routes for the purpose of getting signers to the re- quests for the establishment of routes. The farmers here are ali heartily in fa- vor of establishing these routes, and 1t is said that they are almost a certainty.

VETERANS OF TWO
 WARS ON PARADE Last Day of Army of Philip
 pines Reunion THE MARCH IS IMPOSING At Afternoon Session Gen. Charles King of Wisconsin Is Elected Pres Ident-Gen. Hale and Gov.
 Van Zandt Speak.

St. Paul, Minn., September 2.-Veterans of two wars today marched shoulder to shoulder through streets thronged with thousands. Swarthy stalwart and alert, the soldiers who saw service in Luzon formed sharp contrast to the grizzled old veterans of Gettysburg, Shiloh and hundred bloody battles of the war be- tween the states.
 The parade marked the last day of the reunion of the Army of the Philippines. Headed by Gen. M. c. Creeve, ass grand marshal, a column about three thousand strong marched through the down town streets. The parade was led by platoon of mounted policemen. Then came the Twenty-first United States infantry fol- lowed by the Tenth United States field battery Two little squads of c. A. R. men called forth the greatest applause accorded an organization. The third di- vision consisted of the First infantry, Ma tional Guard. The fourth division con sisted of the National Guard. being com posed of parts of the Second and Third infantry and the First battalion of artil- lery. also the boys brigade. Then came a dozen carriages, containing Governor Van Zant and staff and several officers connected with the army headquarters.
 Next followed what was perhaps the most beautiful feature of the parade, the living flag, composed mostly of little school girls. The society of the Army of the Philippines, under command of Brig adler General Hale, was the last division. At the head of 1t rode General Hale. Gen eral King and Colonel Metcalfe.
 At the business session this afternoon officers were elected as follows:
 President Gen. Charles King, Wiscon- sin; first vice-president. Col. J. w. Pope, Colorado; second vice-president. Capt c. E. Locke, Colorado; third vice-presdent, F. M. Schutte, St. Paul; fourth vice. president, Capt. H. A. Grove, Pennsylva- mia; fifth vice president, Col. W. S. Met calfe, Kansas: sixth vice-president Major D. s. Fairchild, Jr., Iowa; secretary, A. E. Foutz Missouri; treasurer, J. F. White Of Illinois; chaplain Capt. James M. Mal- ley, Nebraska
 The reunion came to a close tonight with camp fire at the Peoples church.
 Governor Van Zant made an address on behalf of the state and Gen. Irving Hale, retiring president of the Army of the Philippines, responded

FIRE DAMAGED THE
 AVONDALE LAUNDRY
CAUGHT FROM BOILER IN. REAR, AND WAS CONFINED TO THAT PORTION OF BUILDiNG-No Es- TlMATE OF LOSS.

The rear portion of the Avondale steam laundry building, which is at 2012 Avenue A, was damaged by fire which originated from the boilers this morning about 1:lo o'clock It was impossible to estimate the damage last night, as Marshal Reed, the president of the company, had not reached the scene of the fire at 2:30 o'clock this morning MT. Reed lives in Avon dale.
 Chief Mullin stated after the, fire that the damage was not very great, although considerable woodwork was burned. He does not think that any of the machinery was damaged by fire, but some of 1t may have been injured by water. Whatever the loss is, it is covered fully by insur- ance.
 The fire was confined by the department to the rear of the building, which is on the railroad When the department ar rived the flames had eaten their way about thirty feet towards the front of the place, but they never went further. Very little damage was done to the sec ond floor.
 The flames were discovered by Night Watchman Addington. who is employed on the new Moore -Handley building. He fired his pistol several times and Police- man Thomsons attention was attracted and he turned in the alarm. The fire was under control In less than fifteen min utes and was entirely out in an hour.

RYAN TALKS.
Says Statements Regarding Metropoll-
 tan Securities Are Inaccurate.

New York, September 2.--Thomas F. Ryan, president of the Norton Trust company, said today:
 "On my return to New York this morning, after a weeks absence, heard for the first time of the exag- gerated and in some instances inac- curate statements which have appeared during the past few days in the news papers regarding the purchase of the Metropolitan securities stock from Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Go.
 "On July 30 concluded negotiations with Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb & Co., for the purchase of their stock, and with in two or three days thereafter I bought several other blocks of stock MT. Whitney had nothing to do with the transactions.
 "The statement published yesterday that MT. Whitney and I made repre- sentations which were inaccurate is absolutely without foundation. Nor IS there the slightest truth in the state ment that we were or that anybody was forced to take back securities, or that MT. Schiff or anybody else ever made any such demand"

JURY PROBLEM SERIOUS. All of the 600 Names in Box at Dan- ville Have Been Drawn Out.

Danville, H.. September 2.-The jury problem in connection with the trial of the alleged riots of July 25 is becoming serious. All of the 500 names deposited in the jury box by the board of supervisors have been drawn out and still the jury is not completed and there are three more trials to come. The nature of the trials and the large number of peremptory challenges all lowed is responsible. Today saw the exhaustion of an entire venire of 600 without the selection of single juror. Another venire was then ordered. Only eight jurors so far have been chosen.
 Judge Thompson tonight appointed L. D. Cass, cashier of the First Ma tional bank, special deputy sheriff to bring in jurors, but this move did not prove any more successful.
