8UNDY HOTEL FL SED
At NEW CASTLE, IND.
Famous Hosiery Has Quit
Business Under a Heavy
Load of Debts.
PLACE A HISTORIC ONE.
LEASE TO MANAGER HAS BEEN
CANCELLED BY THOSE WHO
ARE FINANCIALLY INTERESTED
IN PROPERTY.
PLACE A HISTORIC ONE.

New Castle, Ind, June 15.-The di-
rectors of the Bundv Hotel company
Friday took possession of the hotel
of that name one of the best known
in the state, relieving c. II. Figley,
canceling his lease. Suit to gain pos
session of the property had been
started, but legal action was not nee
essary, as Figiey agreed to turn the
property over to the company.
For the last week some action had
been anticipated. Manager Figley has
failed TO meet his obligations and sew
eraI suits had been filed against him,
one resulting in judgement for over
$500, rendered in favor of William
Peed local meat dealer.
The hotel seemingly had been doing
a good business and, as few debts
were paid there is wonder expressed
as to where the money went For the
time being the hotel will be partially
closed until the directors determine
OF what course to persue.
It is understood that several people
are after the lease and the hotel I'M
doubtedly viii be opened again and
doing business within a short time.
Mr.. Fighley came here last September
from Sterling, III. He leased the ho-
tel and bought the fixtures from
Frank Bundy, who had operated the
hotel for years. The new proprietor
is a good hotel man and has made
many friends in the short time that
ne has been here.
Pending settlement of affairs the
directors have placed c. 4. Fletcher in
charge of the property. The debts of
Tigiey. including the accounts and
mortgage, amount to about $4,000,
while The fixtures of the hotel are in
voiced at $4,000.
The property is first-class one.
1t is located at the corner of Main
and Race streets and covers nearly
half block and is three stories high.
It has been the principal hostelry of
Henry county and New Castle for
years and is a historic spot in Indi-
ara.

SOUTHSIDE BOOMING.
Indications for Great Future.

Indications for Great Future
That Richmond, and especially the
southside is going to prosper and that
many new houses will be built in the
near future is well indicated by the
great success of the sale of lots in
Beall View addition during the first
day of safe Over eighty six lots We're
sold up to eight o'clock Saturday
morning.
For the convenience of many who
are engaged during the week the
agents have arranged to be on the adj
dition all day Sunday when it is eX-
pected that many lots will be select
ed. The registration for the free lot
increases daily. An opportunity to
draw the free lot is not given our
citizens every day.
1t should be remembered that these
lots are being sold at reasonably low
prices This is due to the fact that
the Improvement Association is not
trying to make money out of the sale
of lots. They are simply selling the
lots low so that the town will build
up and more of our citizens will own
their own homes. Success to them.

DEATH RATE GAINS
SLIGHT IN INDIANA
Records for the Year 1906 in
The HooSier State Show
Average Struck.
1876 PERSONS PER 1000
lest LIFE LOsS-THE RATE IN
RICHMOND WAS 1871 TO EACH
THOUSAND.

The death rate in the state of Indi-
ana during the year 1906 was but
slightly heavier than the average death
rate in the last seven years, according
to figures just compiled by the State
board of health. The death rate in
the rural districts was less than the av-
erage in those localities for the last
seven years. while the death rate in
the cities showed an increase. Deaths
are always fewer in the rural districts
because of atmospheric conditions and
sparser population.
The death rate for the state of Indi-
ana in 1906 was 49, persons to each
900 population. basing the population
on the latest reports of the United
States census bureau. which places the
urban population of the state at ,0.22
376 and the rural population at 1866
1873 The urban and rural death rate
in 1906, was 1873 persons out of every
1 Coca decrease of > persons to the
thousand from the average death rate
for the last seven years.
Terre Haute reported the heaviest
death rate in 1906. At that place the
death rate was 22.5 persons out of ev-
cry LEGO. Elwood reported the low
est death rate. the rate there being
1916 persons out of every 1000.
The death rate of Terre Haute is
based on the population as reported by
the census bureau. If it were placed
on the population that Terre Haute
is claiming. the rate would be as low
as that of Indianapolis. Terre
Haute's population, as given by the
census bureau, is %. 500, while the city
claims 65,o0O.
The death rate in Indianapolis for
the year 1906 was 164 persons to each

two persons to each / 600 over the ay-
erage for the last seven years.

lives with his mother and sister The
men were at the house and called for
a book which they had left there or
the money, when Miss Baldwin told
them that she didn't want the book.
AS the story is told by Baldwin, the
man threw an insult at her which he
heard. He went to the front door and
resented the insult to his sister. One
of the men drew a revolver from his
hip pocket, but Baldwin was too
quick for him and he knocked both
the men down. Arrests were made
and a hearing of the case will be
held Thursday. The men say they
treated the woman in a gentlemanly
way and deny that they had intended
to insult her. The trial will bring out
the facts in the case. sa

GOING OVER THE SEWER.
*. e. KoOn. Civil Engineer, Begins
Work in Fifth Ward.

r. E. Koon. expert civil engineer,
of Kansas City, Mo-, began a critical
personal inspection of the Fifth ward
sewer system this morning. He was
accompanied by City Engineer Rogers
and other Topeka gentlemen who are
interested in the sewer system of the
city. The primary object of this in
spection of Mr.. Koon, however, is to
prepare himself to give expert testi-
mony in the suit brought by the city
of Topeka against the contractors who
put in the Fifth ward sewer and for
mer City Engineer McCabe. whom the
city claims failed to carry out their
contract with the city in good faith.
The city claims that there was
collision between the city engineer
and the contractors in the construc-
ton of the Fifth ward sewer to de-
fraud the city. 1t further charges
that the city paid for pipes that were
not laid and for. excavation of rock
that was not excavated. For this rea-
son the city decided to have expert
testimony on the sewer by an outsider.
Mr.. Koon IS being given every oppor-
tunity to familiarize himself with the
situation,

He WANTED TO co
Ambassador Aoki's Recall Has
Created a Sensation.
President Roosevelt Personally
Asked That He Remain.
WILL NOT COME BACK.
A Successor Is Already Under
Consideration at Toxic.
Japanese Officials Insist That
Action Is Not Unfriendly.

Chicago, Dec. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The recall Of Viscount Aoki, the jap
anese ambassador, is the diplomatic
sensation of the day in Washington.
Its significance was heightened by in
formation allowed to leak out that he
had been withdrawn in spite of an
earnest intimation made to his govern
ment by President Roosevelt that he
would be glad to have the ambassador
remain accredited to the United States.
While the authorities are not little
puzzled and a great deal concerned
over the strange course of the Japa-
nese government they claim 1t should
have no doubt as to the friendly pur-
poses Of the United States.
Viscount Aoki in no way counter
ances the stories that his orders to re-
turn home are dictated by desire to
emphasize disapproval of the friendly
policy he has observed. On the other
hand he insists that the cabinet in
power in Toxic and the great mass
of the people recognize the debt they
owe to America and want to restore
the old friendly relations which existed
while the Russo-Japanese war was in
progress.
He Wanted to Quit.
Toxic, Dec. "a P. M.-The recall of
Viscount Aoki, Japanes ambassador at
Washington, is the result of his own
expression of a desire to resign, and
no official announcement is expected
until after his arrival in Toxic 1t is
now regarded as a foregone conclusion
that Ambassador Aoki will not return
to Washington. The question of his
probable successor in the event his res
ignation is accepted has been long I'M
der discussion. The names mentioned
in this connection include Baron
Kaneko. formerly special envoy to the
United States; Baron Chinda. vice min
lister of the foreign office and NJ.
Takahira, at present Japanese ambas-
sador to Italy and formerly minister of
Japan at Washington. 1t is now I'M
f1erstood that M. Takahira is first
choice. Neither Baron Chinda nor
Baron Kaneko can be spared, so Taxa
hira will undoubtedly be appointed If
he is acceptable at Washington.
The Associated Press is assured by
fhe highest authority in the foreign
office that the recall of Viscount Aoki
q not intended as reflection upon
