WEEK OF WEIGHING
TO END At MIDNIGHT
1t Has Been Strenuous for
Mail Clerks.
BACK STAMP TO STICK.

After one weeks strenuous labor,
clerks at the local postoftice will at
midnight cease weighing all classes
of mail and keeping financial records
of the same. In order to facilitate the
work. the back stamp was done away
with during the past week but this
process will be again restored, al
though it was thought that this might
be ordered done away with entirely.
Thousands of pounds of mail belong
ing to different classes, have been re-
corded. The more tedious task of
keeping a record of moneys expended
for the different classes however, en-
tailed great labor and the clerks are
today signing with relief to think but
few more hours remain for the con-
tinuance of the task.

President Heironimus of I'M
provement Association
Makes Them Plain.
MANY THINGS ARE NEEDED.
ADDRESS BY SENATOR r. e. KIRK.
MAN AND A LECTURE BY DR.. S.
{. BOND ON TUBERCULOSIS
WERE FEATURES.

The West Richmond Improvement
association held its regular monthly
meeting in the Baxter school building
Friday evening. In opening the meet
ing, Prof n. c. Heironimus, president
Of the association, emphasized the need
of park and playground for the west
side. public hall, extension of the sew
erage lines, and mail service that
would reach the houses earlier in the
day. The idea is to combine a park
with a public playground for the chill
dren, similar to the playground that
now exists in the east OF Richmond.
The land along the river front was IA
vorably mentioned as a location for
such a park
Senator r. f. Kirkman was then in
troduced and in a few we'll chosen re-
marks made it plain that it is the civic
duty of every west side citizen to build
up the community across the river. He
said in part:
The West Side is a community of
homes. Its society Is essentially
democratic in nature. The heads Of
these homes are men who have pur-
chased their own building sites and
erected thereon their own cottages. 1t
used to be said that West Richmond
was not a very desirable place in
which to live. But that day is long
gone by and people have come to see
that it is one of the most wholesome
residence districts in the city. We
have many advantages, but there are
some which a city should have that
have been withheld from us. We
deserve the best. And by pulling to-
gether we an get the best in the way
of mail service, sewerage extension,
city hall, and public park
Following Senator Kirkman, DR.. S.
E. Bond gave an illustrated lecture on
tuberculosis. He showed that "the
great white plague" is the most dan.
gerous disease in the country today
Every four years it claims eight times
as many victims as were killed on all
the battlefields of the civil war. And
yet states and municipal corporations
let the disease ravage on in their boz.
| ders unmolested. Some of his Ian
tern slides showed pictures of sweat
shops in our own capital city that were
most revolving in their nature. Pow
erty. darkness, cramped quarters anC
unwholesome food, there go hand il
hand with the great monster tuber
culosis. In contrast with this he SCI
forth our own community, where We
have air, light, sunshine and plenty o.
room. Under such conditions tuber
culosis ought to be driven entirely
from our midst. and no human being
suffer from it's ravages.
The meeting was largely attended
and a spirit of enthusiasm shown tina
is highly creditable to the west side.

Political Dopester Talks of the
Congressional Situation
In Sixth District.
DEMOCRATS LESS HOPEFUL
BLCDGETT SAYS THERE is LIT
TIE DOUBT BUT THAT BARN.
ARD WILL BE NOMINATED BY
REPUBLICANS.

Billy Blodgett, who has got back into
action as political writer on the In
dianapolis News. hands out the follow
ing on the Sixth district congressional
situation:
The democrats do not feel so en-
couraged as they did about carrying
the Sixth district for congress. When
IT was understood that Jim Watson,
who was nearly defeated at the last
election, would be a candidate again.
the democrats got ready to have a
strong organization against him, and it
was the understanding also that d
large sum of money would be dumped
into the Sixth at the proper time. Now,
however, since Watson will not run
for congress the democrats have about
lost hope and the republicans feel Ger
tain of a congressman. The result
is that there will be candidates galore
and the fight for the nomination, while
it will be sharp, will not be bitter
one-but the man who gets the nomi-
nation will get it on a hot finish.
AT the present time the man who is
in the lead is w. O. Barnard, of New
Castle, and if the lineup remains as
it Is now there is not much question Of
his nomination. He will make as
good if not better congressman than
any since the days Of Henry U. John
son. Another man who would do we'll
as member of congress is Charles w.
Stivers, editor of the Liberty Herald
VIII A. Hough, Of Greenfield, is a pop
ular candidate, but just now he is as
sisting in the management of Mr.. Wat
sons campaign for governor and can
not give his own political race the al.

Contention Over Street Vaca-
ton Is Closed for all Time to
Come by Compromise in
The Gartside Suit.
EVANS APPEAL WAS NOT
WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT.
Jones Was Satisfied With the
Amount He Received-City
Received Almost Enough
Benefits to Pay Claims.

All litigation against the city ok
Richmond arising from the action OF
the board of public works in closing
that part of North Fourteenth street
between North E and the Pennsylva.
MIA railroad for the benefit of the Hoo
sier Drill branch of the American
Seeding Machine company. ia now u
thing of the past.
This week at New Castle the city
compromised with William Garteids,
proprietor Of the Diamond Clamp and
Flask company on North Fourteenth
street, for $3.50. This settlement
with Mr.. Gartside concluded the litiga.
ton proceedings against the city In re-
CARDS to the closing Of part of North
Fourteenth street.
J. A. Evans, proprietor OF the Qua.
ker City Machine company on North
Fourteenth street, brought action in
the circuit court against the city be-
cause the amount of damages awarded
him by the board Of public works was
81, 800. an insufficient amount in the
opinion OF Mr.. Evans. This case was
defeated in the circuit court on the
grounds that Mr.. Evans did not file his
appeal bond within the prescribed lin
it of time, twenty days. when the case
was appealed from the board of public
works, to the circuit court.
Jones Was Satisfied.
James E. Jones, proprietor OF the
Advance company, machine IND re-
pair shop, was originally awarded ST.
600 damages by the board OF public
works. Mr.. Jones complained that
this assessment of damages was insuS-
ficient, and the board then reconsider
es to 81 500. To this amount tho
American Seeding Machine company
added 500. This made Mr.. Jones' to-
tai damages amount to $1,000. which
was satisfactory to him. and he
brought no action against the city.
The amount paid to the city by the
American Seeding Machine company
for benefits as a result of closing the
street, will almost meet the damages
awarded to Gartside, Evans and Jones.
After the two last mentioned manufac-
turers had been paid their damages,
there was still $1,000 remaining of the
amount paid to the city by the Ameri-
can Seeding Machine company for DAM
ages. In the settlement with William
Gartside. about $4,000 was required,
this including the judgment awarded q,
Mr.. Gartside. the costs of the case and
the attorneys fees.

the case of M. M. Lacy against Wayne
county to recover $4,000 alleged to be

discovered, but which, the court held,
were uncovered in Wayne county.

POLITICS AT Low LEVEL.
Benjamin +. TruehIood on Friends In
Public Affairs.

Politics today has sunk to a very
low level. There is a need for good
men in the political arena whom the
fire of temptation cannot scorch.
Men of the careless type are respon-
sible for the corruption today, and it
is only the good men who would do
their duty If placed in office, that can
deliver us from all our present politi-
cal baseness." This in substance was
a statement of Benjamin F. Trueblood
the noted peace advocate of the
Friends church, in an excellent paper
read before the Five years meeting
Friday night. The paper advocated a
greater interest in affairs politica. on
the part of the Quakers. which would
neccesitate throwing aside all their
past and present scruples against en-
tering the political world.
Mr. Trueblood traced the history
of the Friends in England in earlier
days, and spoke of the great activities
which had been carried on by them
there, and contended that American
Quakers should take an equally i'm
portant part in public affairs of A n
