ARE MOVING CAUTIOUSLY
NANCE UNTIL CENTRAL UNION
AGREES TO MAXIMUM ScHED-
uLE OF RATES FIXED BY CITY.

The council chamber was the scene
Of lively squabble last night when
the ordinance governing the removal
of all telephone, telegraph and other
ed
The ordinance, which was up for it's
third reading, called for the removal
of the poles and that the different
high tension wires and cables be plac-
ed under ground.
Apparently, the greatest friend to
| the measure was Henry Deuker, and
| he fought for the cause valiently, but
| the matter was hashed and rehashed
so much, that a motion was finally
made to lay the measure over until
the next meeting of council and it
carried, much to the pleasure OF the
councilmen fighting against the pas
sage of the measure, and to the cha
grin of those who boldly took stand
for it. s
From the way: in which the matter
was discussed last night, the mem
bers of the council are feeling their
way before they enact the legislation,
pressed themselves as being in favor
of the removal of the poles, although
some of them differed with the clause
in the ordinance, which provided that
the wires which should be removed
from Main street, be placed in condu-
its. they thinking that the city could
not make the Central Union Telephone
company meet the rates, which the
council specified that they should give
to their patrons in case they let them
lay their wires underground.
The whole squabble rested on the
conduit clause and Councilman Won
Pein stated that the committee which
had drawn the ordinance, was for the
removal of the poles off Main street,
but they thought that there was plenty
of time to do this, and in the me an
time, council could bring the Central
Union TO the rates which cney had
specified, but TO which the telephone
company would not agree.
Mr.. Won Pein stated that he thought
that after the telephone company had
met the rates of the city. that it was
time enough TO have the poles re-
moved.

Mr. Won Pein, and It seemed to be

would have the opportunity of holding |

ed discussion to an end, Councilman
Leftwick proposed that the ordinance
be held over for further consideration,
at the next council meeting He
moved that the clause, causing all the
contention. be dropped from the meas
ure and leave the manner of changing
the wires to the Board of Public
Works and the city civil engineer,
while the council consider nothing but
a bill requesting the removal Of all
poles off Main street The motion
was carried and the matter will be de-
cided definitely at the next meeting.

EIks Adopt a Very Novel Meth
cd of Opening Their Fair
in the Coliseum.
FIRE ALARM AND ARRESTS

MAIN ONLY TO HELP ADvER.
TISE THE EVENT WHILE PA
TROL GATHERS WAGON LOAD.

With the clang, clang. clang. of the
bogus alarm from Eighth and Main

night. The originality and enter
prise shown in opening the fair was
carried out during the whole evening
and the eighteen hundred persons
Who passed into the Coliseum last
night We're pleasantly surprised at
the beauty of the place and happy
that they We're there.
Its a common saying that i. takes
the Elks to do things and along the
line of a fair they are justified in
saying last evening. Not only did
they call out the fire department but
they enlisted the patrol in their
house. Eleven respected members
and Main streets and hurried
down the principal thoroughfare with
a large crowd following them to the
Coliseum. The exact charge against
the antlered herd is that they wanted
the Photograph man at Eleventh and
Main to play "Hiawatha" and Under
the Old Apple Tree"
The fire department, the patrol and
an abundance of red fire served to
attract crowd of large size to the
Coliseum and the fair was on. The
high school lads of corduroy pants
fame added to the general confusion
with big negaphones, while a free
vaudeville stunt in front of the Coli
scum served to pack the street till
it was almost impossible TO pass
along the sidewalk. Soon all the out
side entertainment stopped. There
was nothing but that on the inside
and there the crowd went. By actual
count there were eighteen hundred
admissions while at the time of go
ing to press the sheckels left inside
had not been computed
But one need not spend his money
if he chooses not to do SO. There are
acts inside to amuse and there is fun
even in watching the others buy and
looking at the gaudy decorations. 1t
can truthfully be said the Coliseum
never loked quite the same before.
The vaudeville acts provided pleased
well last night They consist of Herr
Schmidt balancing the cycle whirl,
and rope walking.
An account of the decorations and
booths appears elsewhere. Here's
hoping that the Elks each night might
have a bigger crowd than the night
proceeding.

Condemn Summer Crinks.

Local druggists are interested in
the report from the State Board of
Health in reference to the poor quail
ity of some of the drugs sold, the re-
port being to the effect that forty
seven percent are faulty in some way.
Notice has been served on the drug
gists by the State Board that condi-
tions must be remedied. The drug
gists in answer insist that the fault
lies with the manufacturers and
wholesalers. One thing especially
condemned by the Board is the sum-
mer drinks, all these being pronounc-
ed bad.

AS Soon as the Weather Per-
mits Another Building Will

OLD TRACKS ARE REPLACED
THERE HAS BEEN SOME TALK
OF MAKING RICHMOND A PLACE
FOR THE BIG SHOPS OF NEW
SYNDICATE.

The Indiana, Columbus and Eastern
is making great preparations for i'm
provements that will be made upon
At the present time the light weight
steel tracks at the barns are being
torn up and rails of more substantial
pattern substituted.
Owing to the sharp turns the long
interurban cars had to make on the
old track the company has seen fit to
lengthen the spurs leading into the
barns, thereby doing away to a great
extent with the sharp angles. This
work will be completed in the course
of the next few weeks.
AS soon as good weather arrives
the company will erect an additional
car barn between the two present
ones. Owing to the fact that part
of the car shops at Greenfield We're
moved here several months ago, it
greatly crowded the two present
barns at this place and it was finally
decided that "a new building should
be provided.
1t has not been decided yet as to
whether the new building will be used
exclusively for car barn or shops.
There haS -b.en some agitation on the
part of the officials of the Kelsey
Schepf syndicate toward making
Richmond central point on the lines
and building large shops and barns
here. A prominent official of the
local company stated yesterday, how
ever, that there was small likelihood
of that move on the part of the COM
pany owing the fact that there are
several other towns more centrally
located on the lines than Richmond.

Handsome New Cars Are to Be
Used Between Indianapo-
lis and Columbus.
NO EXCESS FARE LIKELY
IT'S UNDERSTOOD THAT NO BAG
GAGE WHATSOEVER WILL BE
CARRIED ON THE LIMITED
CARS-TO MAKE FINE TIME.

If the rumors floating about the In
terurban station yesterday are truth
full. and several of the employees were
willing to vouch for their truth, the
new limited service, on the Indiana,
Columbus and Eastern, between Col
umbus and Indianapolis will begin on
Monday morning, Dec. 3rd.
The handsome cars, which have
been running between Richmond and
indianapolis, for several days past,
will be installed in the through SER
vice, which will be the best on any
interurban line in the West. The
cars are built of such proportions that
high speed is one of their poSSlblll-
ties, and it is expected the time be-
tween Columbus and Indianapolis will
be greatly reduced, probably one and
one-half hours.
The matter of excess fare, which
has been bOthering the brains of the
travelling public, and will probably
be done away with entirely, according
TO the interburban men. 1t is furth-
er understood that no baggage what
soever will be carried on the limited
cars, although their ample space pro-
vided for this purpose.
The condition of the city track at
Dayton have been one of the causes
that has kept the new cars from max
ing through trips. There the tracks
are somewhat narrower than these
used on the line of the Indianapolis
and Eastern. 1t is stated that this
condition have been remedied or will
have been before Dec. 3rd, so that
the new limited cars will find no trou-
BILE in that direction.

Editor Harris, of the Ocala Banner,

gubernatorial boom, but it refuses to
keep quiet. His friends put him In

worse things might happen. There

ever had. And theer are others.-Live
