At the Cennett,

Never was a better vaudeville ar
ranged for city, of the size of Rich
mond than the one manager Swisher
has succeeded in obtaining for this
weeks production at the Gennett.
Every feature of the billaoinmfwypp
Every feature on the bill is superior
to anything in the line that has been
seen here.
Miss Bonnie Gaylord, the girl from
Posey County, who secured her fame
as Sis Hopkins, will be one of the
features. Miss Gaylord has appeared
in nearly every vaudeville theatre in
omenal success in each instance This
week will be her third engagement
here and many new things are prom
ised, as she has a remarkable roper
toire.
The two Rays, the premier wooden
shoe and roller skate dancers of the
country will make their first appear
ance here. This team will make
their first appearance here This
team will present a stunt entirely it's
own and not duplicated by any other
vaudeville team. a."
Darlington, the man who drives
away sorrow with his troupe of
wooden images, will be one of the
leading features. Darlington is one
of the best known ventriloquists IN
the country.
The famous Three Nudos will ap
pear in the gymnastic novelty, "The
Frame of Life" This is said to be
one of the best acts of it's kind On
the stage.
Ernest Renk will present two songs
of the popular class that are new and
novel.
Humes and Lewis, comedy acrobats
have one OF the cleverest turns of the
kind to be found anywhere.
The motion pictures to be pre-
scented will be of the very best class.

A PIECE OF ENTERPRISE.

The Palladium of this morning came
near being a newsless paper At ten
O'Clock last night, when in the midst
of the work of getting out the morn
ing issue, the Linotype machine broke

the machine and paper filled with

faced the Palladium news gatherers.
Through the kindness of J. Bennett
Gordon, of the Evening Item, the
Items composing room was turned
over to the Palladium and through
work done partly in it's own office and
partly in that of the evening paper,
this mornings edition was presented
to the public full of live matter.
The demonstration of such good
feeling on the part of the Item to the
new management of the Palladium is
highly appreciated, and the Palladium
hopes at some time in the near future
to be able to return the favor

that it matters little ohmwnifoamwin
that it matters little how much money

Exciting.
DULL CAMPAIGN PROMISED

With but four weeks until the day
on which the Republican primary
will probably be held, there seems to
be no more political agitation than
If the campaign were still months
ahead. With a few exceptions it is
evident that the present will be one
of the most quiet campaigns on rec
ord in Wayne county.
So far there is not an announced
candidate in the field for prosecutor.
This office has always before held
its attractions for the young practi-
TONERS of Richmond and vicinity, but
for some reason no one seems to want
1t this time. Byram Robbins consid-
cred making the race ana announced
that he would enter the listsc, but
withdrew few days ago for various
reasons Robert l.. Study has signi-
fed his intention of staying on the
outside, and as yet Ray Shiveley and
Wilfred Jessup, the present incum-
bent, are undecided 1t is their inten-
ton, however, to announce soon
whether or not they will try for the
office. -
The race for sheriff and that for
coroner seem to be the contests which
will be Of most interest For sheriff,
Linus p. Meredith, of Green town
ship; Lafayette Larsh and AL. Steen,
Of this city, are the contestants. Mere
dith and Steen have both made the
race before and Larsh was sheriff
several years ago. All of these men
have az reat many constituents who
are working hard for them in the
doubtful parts of the county, and the
race is drawing a great deal of inter,
est owing to the lack of interest in
| the other contests. For coroner, Doc
| tors Bramfamp, Mother and Bulla are
/, in the field. All of these young doc
| tors are in their first campaigns and
the result is still very much of a ques
ton, even to the wise ones of poll
tics.

SUBJECTS FOR STORY BY W. A.
WHITE IN SATURDAY
EVENING POST.
WELL KNOWN IN RICHMOND
Bowers Once Worked in the Palla
dunn Office Where He Set His
Own Obituary.

"Buzby' Bowers, better known as
"Bugs,' the tramp or Journeyman
printer, is again in the public eye,
but this time he appears as a char
acter in a story by William Allen
White in the Saturday Evening Post.
Bugs has been living widely va
ried. and more or less exciting life
since the advent of the Linotype, and
now rarely hits city the size of
Richmond, but in the old days of
newspaper work here, he set many a
stick of type for the Palladium.
In referring to this old school of
printers, the author of the story
writes, "And there was Buzby-old
Buzby, who went about from office
to office leaving his obituary set up
by his own hand, conveying the inn
preston that the end had at last
come to misspent life. - Bugs
less than three years ago, drifted in
to Richmond, and an extra printer
being needed, he hung up his coat in
the Palladium office. About month
later the old longing to go little
further came over Bugs and he
left leaving in type his own obituary,
touching bit of prose and poetry.
This was printed with all due rever-
ence for the departed.
Last summer, the smiling counte-
nance of old Bugs again appear
ed at the Palladium Office, saying that
the dead had arisen and was looking
for a job. There was no place for
him, however, and after obtaining
permission to "carry the banner" in
the store-room that night, be left and
has not been seen since in Richmond
In the same story, another char
! acter'' which is more or less well
known in Richmond is mentioned
William Allen White says, "Then
there was j. n Free-the Immortal
J. NJ as he called himself. a quaint
cadaverous figure in broad hat and
linen buster. with hair flowing over
his shoulders, who stalked into of
! fees at unseemly hours to "raise the
veil" of ignorance and error, anf
relieve the PRESSURE" Of psychic
congestion in a town by turning on i
! the batteries of his mind
The "Immortal ]. NJ so named
! by those who have known him since
/ the first railroad, and have seen tn,
years pass over him without any

ers himself Of various and sundr,
/ learned discourses on the need Of re
form or on the need Of non-reform

may now experience in obtainin:
