BY BURLINGTON PAssEN-

Batavia, Aug. 20. -(SpeciaD- Irv-
in D. Franklin, Familiarity known here
as Jack" Franklin, was run over and
almost instantly killed by Burlington

LACEY FOR
CABINET?
WASHINGTON RUMoR SAYS HE
MAY SUCCEED SECRETARY
HITCHCOCK.

Washington, D. G., Aug. 29.-Cab-
met gossip today is that Secretary
Hitchcock will retire from the cabi-
net before many months and that his
successor is likely to be Major John
F. Lacey of Iowa, representative from
the Sixth district. 1t is said that Ma
jor Lacey will come into the cabinet
not long after Secretary Shaw retires.
In support Of this report, it is pointed
out that Major Lacey is one of the
best informed men in the country on
public land questions, with which the
interior department has largely to do,
having been long at the head of the
committee on publiclands of the house
and author of numerous bills on pub
lie land questions.

"As CHRIST WOULD RUN IT."
Boarding House Conducted on a New
Plan Did Not Last Very Long.

Boarding House Conducted on a New
Plan Did Not Last Very Long.
Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 20. - A. F.
Norton, who runs a grocery store at
Marion "as Christ would run It," and
makes a success at it, has tried the
same thing with boarding house at
a camp meeting and has given up the
job in despair, because, he says the
preachers who boarded with him
kicked" so strenuously on the serv-
Ice.
Mr.. Norton had the dining room
privileges at the Wesleyan conference
meeting at Paramount. He ran the
place a few days, found the job vexa-
tious and improbable and then closed
the dining room. The management is
now looking for successor to run the
place as a boarding house keeper
should run it.
Mr.. Norton at his grocery sells his
goods for cash, refuses to deliver to
the houses of his patrons, pays his
employees every night and cuts prices
on everything to the bone. He now
has three places of business running
on that basis. When he attempted to
branch out into other towns other
merchants combined against him and
he was unable to rent a store-room for
base of operations. He was forced
to take his goods away from the town.
At another place the labor unions boy.
cotted him on the ground that he was
disorganizing trade. With the assist
ance of rival merchants, the labor
unions soon destroyed his business.

address. He was greatly impressed
with Mother Florence and her work
She used to come. into his Office every
week and quite frequently would drop
to her knees and ask God to assist the
governor in solving the problems that
came before him. She also exercised
a mothely care over the young women
in the state house and would often
pray for them.
