HEAT VERY SEVERE;
NO REGISTRATIONS
Men in the Shops Are Feeling
The Effects.
SWIMMING POOLS POPULAR

The man who wore a coat today or
wore a stiff hat must have been either
on dress parade or perhaps wanted to
bluff the people into believing that it
is not as warm as they think it is.
At any rate, the day has been hot,
not warm, but blistering hot. There
was but one redeeming feature of the
warm weather and that was the cool
breeze.
Shop men ever the city state that
work in the factories is fearful at this
time, and particularly so in the metal
working rooms where work over red
hot and glowing molten metal is re-
quired. No heat prostrations in the
factories have been reported as yet,
but the factory men state that it is
really marvellous that no one in Rich
mond has succumbed to the intense
heat in the foundry rooms. The ma
Jority of the men are working in moth
ing more than a pair of oyeralls and
thin gauze undershirt
The swimming pools are now the
rendeZvouses of the small boys Haw-
kin's pond, north of the city, is prac-
tically popular.
Richmond is sweltering meath the
burning gaze of the sun and no relief
Is promised for the next few days.

Sentiment Here Appears to Be
Against the Action by
Marshall DriSCheII.
1T WAS NOT JUSTIFIED.
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCE 1T
is FELT THAT NONE OF THE
GLIDDEN TOURISTS SHOULD
HAVE BEEN DELAYED.

Although there are many citizens OF
Richmond who believe that automo-
biles should be stopped and their driv-
ers fined when running through towns
at a terrific rate of speed, thereby en-
dangering lives, Marshal Dan Drisch-
ell of Cambridge City is being roundly
scored on all sides for having stopped
party of Glidden tourists and hav-
ing them held in this city until he ar
rived and fines were assessed. The
action of DrischeE. many are saying,
was absolutely uncalled for as he
knew that people all along the line
were watching for the coming Gid
dentists and therefore there was little
danger of accidents of serious nature,
as there would be when pedestrians
and drivers were not looking for the
machines.
A large number of Richmond peo-
pie are so displeased over Drischells
actions and feel so hurt, that the Rich
mond police force was forced into TAX
ing the action it did, in arresting Driv-
er Harry White, James Barcley and
Doc Duvinger. occupants of the ma
chine, thereby running the cars per-
feet score, that a petition is being
circulated in Richmond asking for
money to pay the mems fines, a check
to be sent to them when they arrive
at their homes. Already goodly
amount has been raised.
A peculiar thing about the petition
is that it is not only a large number
of signatures of local automobilists,
but there are more signatures of peo-
pie who are not in any way connected
with the local automobile club.
1t is said that the idea is not in the
main to reimburse the driver of the
car, but simply to show him that his
arrest was not countenanced by the
people generally, and not by any
means favored. A note will also ac-
company the check to be sent to him
condemning the action of Drischell in
stopping the machine.
1t is also said that an endeavor
will be made to annex the signatures
of the Richmond police force, to the
petition. They at least will be ask
ed to give small amount to help
meet the fine.

JAMES P. NOLAN HURT

Thursday evening, while James P.

COUNCIL APPROVES
V|AOUCT AGREEMENT
The West Side Improvement
Seems to Be Assured.
BIDS WILL BE ASKED FOR.

At special council meeting Thurs
day evening an ordinance approving
the agreement between the city and
the p, c., c. & st. l.. railroad com
pany for viaduct over the crossing
at West Second street was introduced
and passed under suspension of the
rules. This absolutely ends the long
fight waged by the city for viaduct
at that crossing.
President Merrill of the board of
public works states that advertise
ments for bids for the work of build
ing the sewer system, the street i'm
provements and the excavations for
the viaduct. which improvements the
city has charge of under the terms of
the agreement, will be printed at
once. 1t is hoped that this work will
be in progress before the end of next
month

TO NAME A SUCCESSOR
West Side Improvement Asso.
citation Will Meet.

The West Side Improvement asso-
citation will at it's meeting tonight at
the Baxter school. elect a new chair
man for the committee on public
grounds and buildings to succeed
Charles A. Francisco, deceased. There
are several other things which will be
considered by the association.
It is highly probable the committee
appointed some time ago to assist the
city in securing bidders for the West
Side sewer construction will make it's
plans known tonight. There has been
considerable speculation as 10 what
these plans are. The Riverside park
proposition probably viii be taken up
again.

Wrinkles PLACE
WILL BE FILLED
Admitted That He Is Not EIiui-
BILE to Hold Council
manic Office.
WILL MAKE NO FIGHT.
CITY ATTORNEY STUDY POINTED
OUT THE POINTS IN THE LAW
AT THURSDAY NIGHTS MEET
ING.

Harry Wrinkle, who Monday night
was elected councilman from the
eighth ward by the members of the
city council and whose ineligibility
was discovered the following day, at
tended the special council meeting
held Thursday evening but made no
effort TO take his seat Mr.. Wrinkle
stated that he realized he could not
qualify for the office and would make
no fight for it.
City Attorney Study pointed out to
the councilmen that Mr.. Wrinkle is
clearly disqualified to hold the office.
He stated that Mr.. Wrinkle is not even
qualified to vote in this city. Mr..
Wrinkle. the city attorney stated, left
Richmond January 8, 1904, and went
to Aurora. Ind, where he went into
business and became citizen of that
place. Last May Mr. Wrinkle returned
to Richmond and became resident or
Fairview, purchasing property there
Mr.. Study pointed out that the state
law read that no man could be an
office holder or n candidate for office
unless he had lived in the community
for at least one year. He also stated
that the law requires that council
man had to be a resident of the ward
he was elected to represent at least
six months prior to his election. Mr..
Study stated that the eighth ward had
only been in existence since the first
of July but that a person elected to
represent that ward would have to
have been resident of that section of
the city at least six months.
No Blame Attached.
No blame is attached to the mem
bers of the city council for electing
Mr.. Wrinkle councilman from the
Eighth ward as they supposed him
to be a qualified resident of the city
and that section of the city compos-
ing the ward. When the discovery
was made that Mr.. Wrinkle was incl
gible to hold the Office it is needless
to say that the six city fathers who
voted for him Monday night were
somewhat embarrassed. Mr.. Study
states that 1t was only nat
ural for council to make the mistake
it did Il never heard of a republican
election but what there was some
middle connected with it," said the
city attorney.
At the next council meeting a sue
cessor to Mr.. Wrinkle will be elected.
The law requires that he be elected
at a special session so it will again
be necessary to advertise this special
The special meeting will
-. g
the first Monday in August. 1t seems
to be the general opinion that G. c.
Smith will be chosen councilman from
the eighth. He received three votes
last Monday evening.

His shame was hidden from his wife
and child and his neighbors So far
as they were concerned the black past
was blotted out. He was determined
TO do right and be right. Despite the
constant gnawing at his heart, despite
the visions that came to him in the
night when he saw himself in the con-

greater blow than the first His
castles crumbled about him and he was
buried in the ruins. The newspapers
of Missouri told his story. The great
heart of a great state went out in sym

ster petitions were started. They were
signed by $1,000 Missourians These

to pardon January. Members of the
Missouri House of Representatives the

of Commerce, labor organization mem
bers and others signed the request. and
the president referred it to the depart

that the sentence be committed to three
months from the date of his rearrest.
and that January be then pardoned
This was approved.

lated how he and his wife retired at

at a party. He occupied the room
next TO his wife's. At about 1.25
o'clock he was awakened by a knock

to sleep. but once when she was up
the young girl was tanning herself and
that she got up ana raised the window
