of grain crops about the same as in

SUPT GARD
AMONG MISSING
HOUNDED TO DEATH BY RICH
MoND WOMAN
VAMOOSES THE RANCH
Leaving Only a Note Explaining His
Sudden Departure From the
City.

Superintendent Gard Of the Rich
mond Light, Heat and Power company
was not in his accustomed place this
morning and his absence was account
ed for by note left at the Main
street office addressed to the commits
sioners. The note told Of the fact
that he had left the city, and cited
the reasons therefor. Mr.. Gard said
he was going away from home and
friends because his life had been made
miserable here by certain woman
who has been bounding him to death.
He saiI this was his reason for leav-
ing.
It has been known to newspaper
men and others that certain woman
has been connected with Mr.. Gard s.
name for some time, and that Mrs.
Gard has not lived in Richmond for.
the past three months, but nothing
has been said owing to the fact that
no good could possibly acrrue from
such proceedings.
But now the word has gotten out,
Mr.. Gard has left the city, and he
gives the explanation for his absence
himself.
The commissioners Were surprised
to find the note, although the matter
had gotten to their ears some time
ago. They immed ediateI set, s,tt 10
find some one to take u, the awoafak Of
Mr.. Gard. Charley Rogers, who has
been assistant for some time, will for
the present at least assume the su-
perintendency. He is competent
and may finally be given charge.

LOOKS LIKE KERN
Would be the Democratic Nominee for
Governor.

Indianapolis, Aug 1.-"Unless John
w. Kern puts himself out of the run

says Louis Ludlow, "he probably will
be nominated by the Democrats for
governor at their state convention

general mention of his name Mr.. Kern

say anything for publication. He is
in no sense seeking the nomination,
but it is believed that if the party
calls him he will consent to be its
standard-bearer. At any rate he will
not make a statement for day or two
and possibly not at all.
"The drift in favor of Kern has
been especially pronounced during the
last two days. 1t is understood that

THE TRUTH
:. ABOUT ALUMINIUM j
~ EyE $ t5 ~ Es%. m ~

Now that the price of aluminium
has come down to within reasonable
limits, the wise housekeeper rejoices.
For several years now, in fact ever
since the worlds fair, one has heard
more or less about the excellence of
aluminium cooking utensils, but gen.
orally they were offered at promibi-
tive prices.
Besides that, the articles were gen.
orally manufactured in so thin and
frail fashion that the cautious wom-
an foresaw or imagined she did, a
quick ruin by the various dents and
knocks inflicted by Mary Ann, the
kitchen Amazon.
But now appears on the market
staunchly made kettles, frying pans,
wake irons and griddles, in fact any
necessary utensil, which looks and are
solid and substantial, and which cost
no more than a good grade Of agate
ware; nay, really costing less.
These articles are guaranteed to
wear twenty years, and are said to
last far beyond that; some makers
claim that with careful use, they will
last more than lifetime.
The reason for this durability
may be easily inferred from the fol-
lowing facts:
