PIPE LINE FROM MADISON GAS

have not been announced
On every side yesterday, express
sions of deep regret and surprise over
Mr.. Pogues death were heard The
fact that it was not known except to
the family members that he had been
stricken i'll in Chicago, caused the
announcement of his death to come
as shock to his friends who were
legion.
OF the many business enterprises
of great magnitude in which Mr..
Pogue was interested, the one in
which Richmond perhaps knew him
best was that of the construction of
the natural gas pipe line from Madi-
son county's gas fields to Richmond.
Mr. Pogue was associated in this
project with Major Doxey, of Ander
son and NJ. c. Henley of Richmond
Natural gas was in it's infancy in In
diana at that time and pipe lines of
great length were unheard of. The
three men were identified with the
Richmond Natural Gas Company,
but the construction of the pipe line
was separate and distinct undertak-
ing and was successfully accomplish
ed. The length of the line. AZ miles,
established new record of the kind
in Indiana.
As stated in Sundays Palladium,
Mr.. Pogue had for many years large
business interests in the far West,
particularly in Colorado where he
owned VI .uable holdings in silver min
ing companies. In addition to This
he also was interested largely in real
estate in Chicago and other cities

The saloon at 900 Main street be-

about six o'clock last night, of So
worth of chewing gum, some cigars
and a quantity of whiskey An effort
was made to get into the cash reg

and thought that he would enter and
light the night gas. Upon opening
the door he heard slight noise in
the back but paid no attention to it
until he noticed that the door which
leads into the back room was open,
and which the law requires shall be
shut on Sunday He investigated and
found that one of the back windows
had been forced with a bar of iron.
This is the second time that the place

sually sad one. Miss Heath gave
promise of being one of the best

cannot account for her having taken

She was very faithful in nursing
pneumonia, and it was from her that
she contracted the malady. Great pre-
caution is taken at the hospital to
protect the nurses from suffering
from the diseases with which the pa
tients are afflicted and this is the
first time in the history of the local
institution that such thing has oc-
CURED.
The parents of the fortunate young

ways and her fortitude in her work
Miss Heath had endeared herself to
those at the hospital and gloom per-
vaded the institution yesterday be-
cause of her death.

the company will have access to

feels that it will have sufficient gas

AN INCREASE ELSEWHERE
Publishers PressI

Washington, Oct. 21-The value of
the natural gas produced and aold in
the United States in 1906 exceeded
that of any previous year by $3.066.-
099 1t amounted to SAL, ,562 .S55. The
geological survey reports that this re-
suit has been accomplished by gen
eral advance in price rather than by
any increase in the quantity of gas
produced.
Out of sixteen states in which nat
ural gas is produced but two show
decrease in value in the last year
over 1904 The greatest increase was
in West Virginia. where the increas-
ed value amounted to s1,961 $50 more
than the previous year. Pennsylvania
shows an increase of 81 ,057 ,442. Lou
isiana appeared for the first time as a
gas producing state and notable in
creases over previous production
were shown ty Kansas, Oklahoma
and Indian Territory
Kansas showed an increase of 49
percent and the combined produc-
tion in Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory was 161 percent increase. The
falling off in value is shown in Indi-
ana. Kentucky and Tennessee. The
value of the output in Indiana last
year was considerably less than one

TO FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF
HOUSE.

Chicago. H., Oct. 21. Spl.)-Ray-
mond writing to the Tribune from
Washington says:
Day after day during the week
just closed there have been
conferences between the pre- esident.
the members of the cabinet, and the
recognized party leaders regarding
the part of the administration is to
take in the campaign. There have
been personal calls at the White
House and repeated talks over the
long distance wires, until now it has
been definitely decided just about how
far in what direction the administra-
ton influence will be exerted.
THE administration is to partici-
pate in the election of congressman
with the proper idea in view OF Sc
curing a republican house of repre-
sentatives, without which the admin
istration would be seriously embar-
rassed. Beyond this point the distinc-
tive republican speakers in the cam
paign will not go, and it has been the
difficulty of determining where the
lines shall be drawn between local
the appearance of some of the mem
bers of the cabinet for such a long
time.
State Rows a Difficulty.
Great difficulty has been found in
avoiding a clash between the various
republican factions in certain states.
In Pennsylvania in particular the
president and his advisers have
sought to avoid giving aid and COM
fort to either side As a matter of
fact, it has been found impossible
to make any speeches in that state
except under the auspices of the reg
ular organization and in that way the
Penrose people have been successful
in giving the idea that the president
and his administration are seeking
the defeat of the reform ticket.
Secretary Shaw and other speak
ers who have been in Pennsylvania
were there for the purpose of assist
ing in the election of republican con-
gressmen and they studiously avoid
ed the slightest reference to local af-
fairs. Speaker Cannon was not quite
so cautious He is apparently in
sympathy with the Penrose ring and
has not hesitated to make a plea for
regularity in politics. The cabinet
officers have kept out of the fight and
they will keep out of all fights in
Pennsylvania, as in other states.

No chance at ALL continued Mr..

This question was ignored and an
other shot was made at the ex-chair-

the recent statement of split be-

Well now" replied the New Cas-
tie politician" I'll tell you just how
that report got out You see | drop
