After the Board of School Estimate had
refused this morning to grant an extra
issue Of over $4,000 worth of bonds for the
erection of complete school in Richelieu

TRENTON, Aug. 2.-When the Hahn

hearing at the State House next Mon
day matters of the conducting of the
affairs of the State Hospital for the
insane will be again gone into. The
committee, 1t is said, has just discov-

connection with the manner in which
the institution has been conducted. 1t
is understood that the committee Is
not satisfied with the apparent desire
on the part of the managers to give
Warden Hayes a whitewashing.
Even though the original source Of
contamination of the water in the
spring was caused by IA faulty sewer

URGE FRANCE
TO MARCH
ON FEZ
Newspapers Advise Drastic
Action in Moroccan
Situation.

PARIS, Aug. 2-An extraordinary
meeting of the cabinet to discuss the
Moroccan situation was held this after
noon. Foreign Minister Pichon ex-
pressed himself in favor of immediate
energetic action by France to secure
reparation for the murders of Euro
peans at Casa Blanca. and to insure the
safety of the Europeans still there.
Inasmuch as France and Spain were
charged, by the Algeciras conference.
to act together in the matter of po-
licing Casa Blanca, M. Pichon advo-
Gated, as q first step. proposing to
Spain the immediate landing of French
and Spanish troops at the scene of the
massacre.
The French newspapers, excepting the
socialist journals. are unanimous in
demanding that the government take
decisive steps to enforce respect for
France In Morocco. Some newspapers
express the opinion that Germany will
not now stand in the way, and think
the time is ripe to abandon M. Del
casse's policy of pacific penetration"
which they contend has served only to
arouse the hatred of the Moors for the
French and march straight to Fez.
La Republique Franchise says that un-
less the head Of Maelanin Pasha, the
Governor of Casa Blanca, is obtained, a
genuine holy war Is likely to be pre-
cipitated, and that this would endanger
Algeria.
VIENNA, Aug. IN. Clemenceau, the
French Premier, who is taking the cure
at Carlsbad, has given out an interview
on the Moroccan situation in which he
says that France will be guided by two
main considerations in dealing with the
situation arising from the Casa Blanca
murders. First she will, II possible,
find peaceable solution of the Difficult
ty, and secondly, she will only take
action In agreement with the powers
who took part in the Algeeiras confer
ence.
TANGIER, Aug. 2.-Upon the re-
quest of the governing board the State
Bank has advanced $4,000 douros (about
500. .000) TO War Minister Gabbas to
permit him to send troops to Casa
Blanca.
Almost all the French residents of
Casa Blanca have taken refuge on board
an English ship. They report the city
as surrounded by Arab horsemen and
the situation grave.
The government commanders having
received no orders to suspend opera
tions against the bandit Raisull, who
is holding Caid Sir Harry Maclean
prisoner, continue to burn native viii
lages. They have sent the heads of
several insurgents into Tetuan.
The French cruisers Conde and du Chayla
left Toulon today for Tangier. The trans
ports Nive. Mytho and Shamrock have
been given rush orders to prepare TO re-
ceive two thousand five hundred soldiers
and three hundred horses. The Nive sails
tomorrow.

1t was said today at St Michae1s
Hospital that Liberato Scercefo, Is
years old. of 10S Jefferson street. taken
to the hospital suffering from broken
spine. was doing as well as could be
expected under the circumstances.
There is some chance that he may
live, 1t was said at the hospital.
Scercefo was employed in Rocky Hill
near Princeton, and fell from a tree
in which he was picking cherries. The
fractured bone was replaced and his
head was placed in plaster cast. 1t
is thought that the bones will knit,
but congestion, which would injure the
nerve centre, is feared.

STORY OF MoNKEY-MAN.

WEBSTER CITY. Iowa, July 31.- Written complaint has reached Mrs. Elizabeth Jones Baird, secretary of the Iowa State Human society, that in the vicinity of Wichita, Guthrie county, two strange specimens, half man and half animal, are creating a mild reign of terror, and in the name of civilization their cases demand at tention. The communication relates that the strange creatures are the al- legged sons of one W. A. LeupardeZ, a Spaniard: that one, about 20 years old, runs, barks, curls up in the grass like dog. and that the other, appar- ently about 16 years old, the exact image of a gorilla, shows a horrible array of teeth and makes threats that cause the blood to run cold. The family lives in an isolated hovel, and, strangely enough, has attracted little notice until lately.
 The people writing Mrs. Baird are among the most prominent in Guahrie county, and seriously advance the claim that the creatures referred to should be called to the attention of scientists. as confirming the Darwin. ian theory concerning the origin of the human species. Mrs. Baird says the Humane society will give the mat ter thorough investigation.

Yes, sir," said the tailor, "he was the most taken back man ever saw. Came in here as cocky as you please, he did.

 Don't be too sure of that" said l. If you are, you're "a wonder
 Then I measured him.
 Right knee bowed two inches more than the left" said I, and here are the figures to prove it."
 "The man snorted.
 Most people of your build are that way" I went on, hoping to console him. The fact is, l never made clothes for a bowlegged man in my life whose limbs were bent equally. Sometimes the left one bows most, but usually it's the right.
 But my assurance that there were other legs like his did not comfort him in the least So sure had he been of uniformity in his deformity that the discovery of his one-sideness made him quite downhearted.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July S1.- Chaplain J. Dickson, of the Twenty sixth Infantry. this morning shot one soldier in the neck and captured an other at the point of his pistol. The soldiers were caught by the chaplain taking an ancient bronze cannon, a relic of the Philippine Islands, from his yard. Chaplain Dickson was ap- pointed from Missouri

 The shooting took place about l o'clock in front of Chaplain Dickson s home. at the upper post. Aroused by noise in his front yard, the chaplain armed himself with a revolver and quietly walked around the house and surprised the soldiers. The cannon was so heavy that the men could not l lift it into a wagon, which they had driven up to the house. They had rolled the ancient fieldpiece to the roadway and then tied it to the wagon with ropes, intending to drag it away.
 Chaplain Dickson shouted at the men to hold up their hands. Fry was standing at the wagon. Blakely fled across the parade ground.
 Running forward. the chaplain or dered Fry to jump down from the wagon. Hastily feeling of Fry's belt and discovering that ha was unarmed the chaplain turned n pursuit of the fleeing Blakely.
 Three times he called to him to halt, but the soldier ran on.
 Stop, or I'll shoot, cried the chap lain.
 Shoot" replied Blakely. The chaplain followed his advice. Raising his gun he fired at the flee ing figure. Staggering slightly. the sol dier continued to run and the chap, 1 lain returned to the wagon where his | first prisoner was standing. | Chaplain Dickson is known as the Fighting Sky Pilot of the army During his service in the far.

RARE DRUGS

Many people experience considerable trouble in having some valuable recipe prescription hIed, because they usually call for some rare drug which is not always carried by the average druggist. IT YOU will remember to carry your order to Central Pharmacy close to Hotel Copper Queen, it will be extremely seldom you will be disappointed.
 Nowhere else will you find more complete stock of drugs chemicals, medicines, etc. You may not have the entire stock because the labora- tory is conducted in dry clean basement where the temperature is always just right to preserve the good quality of all medicines.

Charlottesville, Ind, March 2O.-The
Little Giants, of Wabash college, have
an invitation to meet the Hurry-up
Yost's famous football aggregation on
the gridiron this fall. Manager Baird
of Michigan wired this morning, offer
ing Wabash the choice of two dates,
October 10 and November 8. The in
vitation is decidedly complimentary to
Wabash, and if the schedule can be so
arranged the Scarlet will accept the in
vitation. The only fear is that the
proposed game will make the schedule
too heavy for Coach Cayon'S light
team. Already they have games prac-
tically arranged with Illinois. Purdue
Indiana, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt.
five big games besides several games
with the secondary state colleges, and
it is questionable if Wabash could en-
dure a sixth gruelling contest.

TEST WILL BE MADE
/. Of THE new ENGINE
Turbine Is Now in Position at
Municipal Lighting and
Power Plant.
CAN DOUBLE BUSINESS.
NEW ENGINE is OF THE LATEST
PATTERN AND ALMOST DOUBLE
THE CAPACITY OF THE Reel
PRocATiNG ENGINES.
CAN DOUBLE BUSINESS

Friday and Saturday of this week Il
test will be made of the new turbine
engine which has just been installed
at the Municipal lighting and power
plant. A large force of men is now
engaged in getting this engine skip
shape" and it is confidently expressed
that the test will show the turbine
can meet expectations.
Can Double Business.
The completion of this engine
means that the Municipal plant will
be in shape to double its business and
it is stated by the board of public
works that about the first of April
an active campaign for new business
will be inaugurated. Rates will not
be cut, but it is an assured fact that
the Richmond Light, Heat & Power
plant will be given the fight OF its
life.
TT is to be a locked-horn battle
to the finish between the municipal
plant and the Light, Heat & Power
company and you can state that ! do
not think the city plant will be the
one exterminated," remarked a city
official.
Is of the Latest Pattern.
The new turbine is of the latest
pattern and is almost double the cap
acity of the two reciprocating engines
which have been in operation at the
plant since it first begun business.
The turbine takes up about one-third
the space of one of the reciprocating
engines and there is plenty of room
left in the engine room of the plant
to install two more turbines. The
new engine is shaped somewhat like
a bell.
viii Overhaul Old Engine.
The board after the turbine begins
operations will temporarily place out
of commission one of the reciprocating
engines SO that it can be thoroughly
oyerhauled After needed repairs
have been made on this engine the
other reciprocating engine will be
placed out of commission and over
hauled. The board also plans to run
the overhead railroad tracks over the
coal room of the plant SO that the
contents of the coal cars can be
dumped into the building.
