GAME HERE DURING CIVIL WAR

John Cheney, one of Richmond's
pioneer citizens and veteran business
men, will celebrate his ninetieth
birthday Friday. Mr.. Cheney is en-
joying very good health and will be
at his home, Is North Third street,
Friday morning and afternoon to re-
ceive the congratulations of his
many friends.
John Cheney came to Richmond
from Worcester, Mass, during the
Civil War period and has resided
here ever since. For number of
years he was member of the firm
of Deal and Cheney, which was en-
gagged in the egg packing business on
Fort Wayne Ave-, where the new
store rooms of the Pogue, Miller Co.
are now located. Mr.. Cheney was also
engaged for a number of years in the
wheat business, from which he de-
rived comfortable fortune.
He retired from active business
cares about fifteen years ago and
since the death of his wife, four
years ago, his neice, Miss Alice
Morse, has kept house for him. Mr..
Cheney is now and has been for years
past an elder in the First Presbyter-
ian church. '@

WATSON WILL BE REWARDED.
For His Work as Whip in the
House-Connersville Will Be
Given Federal Building.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Representa-
tives Watson and Brick will get their
pork for faithful services rendered
the party organization. Mr.. Watson,
as whip of the house, displayed great
energy and skill in rounding up votes
for the Philippine tariff and state
hood bills. He has introduced a
bill appropriating 100000 for pub
lie building at Connersville, the cap
ital Of Fayette county. He may not
get that large amount but he will
get an appropriation amply big
enough to construct a building that
will be a source of pride and joy to
Fayette county citizens.
Mr.. Brick also worked hard to de-
feat the insurgents and by his ener-
gy and persistent campaigning he es-
tablished a clear title to piece of
"pork' for South Bend. That city
already has federal building, but it
is inadequate for the needs of the
service and Mr.. Brick has for years
been trying to secore an appropria-
ton for an addition to it. This year
lie will succeed.

STICK TO YOUR GUNS.

In speaking editorially of the poll
tioal situation in Chicago yesterdays
Inter Ocean says in part: z...-....
"The Republican party has never
won when it shirked a duty or played
the coward. 1t will not win in this
off year 1906 unless it stands by its
guns and fights in the old way for
principles, and for principles 100
per cent Republican, ,.es
The same condition is true of Rich
mond. Alarmists have tried to split
the Wayne County Republicans into
two factions, and in their desire to
defeat the regular Republican party
at any cost, would lead their faction
over to the Democrats. They would
cast off their party, the party of Lin
coin, Mckinley, and Roosevelt, the
party which was called to the front
in 1860 to preserve the Union, and
which was called upon in 1896 to save
the country from the industrial de-
preston which would have followed
Bryan's election. These alarmists be-
long to the same class of which
Bryan is the acknowledged sleader.
Men who believe one thing one day
and another the next. Men who are
-of-all-Trades' politically,
and masters of none, therefore bit
terly hating those who by their abil-
ity have gained the confidence and
support Of the voters Of commu-
nifty. ~" " f".a
This has been the case locally for
some time past, but it is not so today.
The Republican voters of Richmond
and Wayne county are experiencing
the reaction which always follows
any extreme, and are lined up for the
fall election in manner which will
assure victory for the Republican
party; the party which solicited the
Union when it was threatened with
dissolution, and freed the negro from
servitude; the party which under
President Roosevelt will purge the

THE CENTERvILLE COMMITTEE
80
WILL MAKE REPORT IN
A SHORT TIME.
BELIEVE WOULD Be CHEAPER
For Town to Manufacture It's Own
Light and Power
Gould Furnish It.

The committee which has been in
vestigating the advisability of estab-
fishing an electric light plant at Cen
terville will make its report to the
citizens of Centerville either Friday
or Saturday and the indications are
that it will recommend the build
ing of the plant. ...
The committee has consulted with
representatives Of the Richmond
Light, Heat and Power Company and
Superintendent Rogers of the MUM
cipal Lighting and Power plant with
the end in view of having the streets
of Centerville lighted with electrici-
ty from one of the two local plants,
but no satisfactory arrangements
were made.
The members Of the committee
have as yet compiled no comparative
figures which would show the cheap
est method for securing electric light
for Centerville, but the committee is
inclined to believe that home produc-
ton would prove to be the most sat
isfactory. +'
The question has come up as to
whether the i, Richmond Municipal
Lighting and Power plant would have
the right to sell electricity outside
of Wayne township as the plant pays
no taxes to the county s.o,.. g., j
At the Richmond Light, Heat and
Power Company it is stated that the
matter Of supplying electricity g, to
Centerville was thoroughly .:investi-
gated but I'd that the committee in
charge Of the enterprise seemed to be
entirely at sea and was unable to
submit any definite proposition.
They state that to supply electrici-
ty to Centerville it would be neces-
sary. to increase from 5000 voltage
to 5000.
