formerly of Brookviile, is here the
guest of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Vir-
ginia Jones, widow of the late Col

whether he would be candidate for

James E.. Watson, who has announc-

said, land can not but feel greatly
complimented at the insistence of my

be an honor, very great honor, to

SECRETAR OF STATE
WILL VISIT THE CITY
is to Stop Here Ten Minutes
Next Thursday.
A SPEECH is HiNTED AT.

Secretary of State, Elihu T. Root,
who today is President Theodore
Roosevelt's right hand man. will next
Thursday. September 26. pass through
Richmond making a stop here OF
about ten minutes. He will arrive in
this city about 1906 and will remain
here till 1915. The Pennsylvania
company. which has contracted to car
ry Mr.. Root from Washington to the
Mexican border line in Texas. on his
way to Mexico. will furnish the big
statesman the private Pullman car
''Signet.' which will be attached to
train No. 21.
Although 1t has not been determined
fully, it is highly probable that CO.
terie of representative citizens of Rich
mond, will greet the secretary of state
when he arrives in Richmond. II
there is a large crowd at the station on
the morning of his journey through
Richmond. he may be induced TO make
a short speech, although this is rather
doubtful, as the secretary is not on a
speechmaking tour, but on one con-
nected with affairs of state.

Richmond coal "barons'' will within
the next few weeks make fifty cent
advance in the prices of the majority

anticipated raise will be due to the car
shortage on the railroads. a condition
which generally prevails during the
months of October and November.
Coal dealers in Richmond today,
can not secure coal from the mines in
less than two months; often times a
greater length of time. Coal being
received now in most instances was or
dered the latter part of June and the
earlier days in July. The coal mine
operators say that it is impossible to
secure enough cars. If this is the
case now. local dealers are lead to be-

THE AGITATION WILL BE CON-

Residents of West Richmond inter

board of works in not being able to
float the necessary Improvement bonds
for the construction of the same. will
bend every energy to aid the board and
thereby secure an early construction of
the sewers. Owing to the length of
time which will be necessary for their
building, each delay in awarding the
contract means that West Richmond
practically as whole, will be unpro-
tected against unsanitary conditions,

The improvement association probably

WILL FEDERATION
CONDEMN WATSON?
Convention of Indiana Labor
Men Will Meet in Muncie
Next Week.
CASE OF WILLIAM BLAKELY
HIS APPOINTMENT AS FACTORY
INSPECTOR IN PLACE OF .. n.
McAREE AROUSES IRE OF UN-
IONISTs, 1T is REPORTED.

Will the Indiana Federation of La
Dor, at its meeting in Muncie next week
take action derogatory to the candidacy
of Congressman James Watson for the
Hoosier governorship? This is a ques-
tion which is not only giving the
friends of the Sixth district congress-
man some concern, but is also causing
wide speculation among the laboring
men of the state.
That the federation is more than apt
to show its hand in political affairs
during the next year is believed by per-
sons closely allied with the labor move
ment. 1t is not believed that the fed
Grafton viii take up the cause of any
particular party or man. but that It
will not hesitate to speak out against
candidates whom it believes to be an
tagonistic to its interests.
The feeling against Congressman
Watson. which exists in the breasts of
a number of men who are prominent in
state federation affairs. results largely
from his activity in securing the re-
moval of y. II. McAbee. of Muncie a
union laboring man. as state factory in
spector. and the appointment in his
place of William Blakely. who has fig
ured in a number of fights against un-
ion labor, and against whose appoint
ment vigorous protests came from
many labor organizations.
Whether this opposition to Blakely is
of sufficient strength to bring his
hacker. Congressman Watson. into dis
favor with the state federation. is one
of the things that the deliberations of
the body will determine. 1t is certain
that great deal of diplomacy will
have to be exercised to prevent an open
condemnation of the whip of the
house, who has laid aside his con-
gressional aspirations in order to make
the race for the Indiana governorship.
1t is to the congressman's benefit
that Blakely has so far shown a spirit
of fairness in his dealing with the
work of his office. His deputies. it is
said. have all been members of unions
and no complaints have been made of
his administration of affairs.
Charles w. Miller. of Goshen. is an
other aspirant for the Republican nami-
nation for governor who is said to have
the disapproval of the Ia
bor unions. 1t is not expected. how
ever. that this opposition VII be strong
enough TO sway next weeks conven-
tion.

the historic piece of coin and he will

carefully examined the dollar and its
legion of tags describing its journey,
since it has been on display at the Idle

The Kaiser's Gallantry.

even to Germans, when they are pref
ty women Last autumn, when he
was shooting in the country, he met
the pretty young bride OF country
squire, and was SO much struck with
her that he invited himself to tea on
the following day. The Kaiser duly
paid his visit to the young couple, and
while he was talking to his hostess,
the servant brought him cup of hot
soup. He was paying more attention
to the bride than to the food, and for
the moment he thought that he was
being served with tea in the English
fashion, SO he sent the servant for
some sugar and cream. Both the hos
tess and the servant were much too
nervous to warn him, and so the
Kaiser put both sugar and cream into
his soup, stirred it up briskly and be-
gan to drink. The very first taste told
him what he had done, but the an.
guish Of the bride was so evident that,
with almost superhuman gallantry, he
never blinked an eyelid, but swallow
ed the mixture as If it had been his
usual way of taking soup.-Illustrated
