company suspension, Tor several nun
dred dollars, said he received his first

went to the wall.

reorganized company. He said the
message claimed that all those who
assent to the new proposition will re-
ceive the new stock in the course of a
few days and it will be worth more
than the old stock ever was.
The Richmond man who made the
statement that he had bought stock
for several hundred dollars, says that
he is not the only one in Richmond
who was fleeced by the company.
Consultation parties have been order
among the victims.

The Questions They Ask.

The capacity of the average small
boy for asking questions is practically
unlimited, but it is doubtful whether
more searching inquiries have ever
been made by boy than those pro-
pounded by youngster to his father,
who had taken him for a steamer trip.

Mad dogs do not attack people
when a dog has the rabies" said a
physician. ''he has lost control of his
body. and what he does is mechanical.
His jaws snap involuntarily. and If he
encounters any object. whether ami
mate or inanimate he is likely to bite
it. But mad dog does not attack as
does an angry dog. He does not pick
out victim or use any strategy. For
this reason dogs suffering from rabies
are less dangerous than is supposed.
No grown person need fear them, for
all he has to do is to get out of the
way. The dog will not chase him. OF
course, young children are in danger,
as they do not know how to dodge the

Unusual Conduct of Grace
Johnson Is Attributed to
Over-induIgence.
TALKS TO CHIEF BAILEY.
HOME FOR THE FRIENDLESS
UNTIL DR.. KENDALL COMES
FROM KiNGMAN, IND.

Constant reading of dime novels and
"penny deadfalls" is responsible for
the erring ways of Grace Johnson, the
fourteen-year-old girl of Kingman.
Ind, whose life has been a rather
eventful one in the past few weeks.
This is the opinion of Superintendent
of Police Bailey.
Now are you right sure that you
walked from Kingman, Ind, to New
Hope?' asked Bailey of the girl when
she started in on her account of her
trip from Kingman, which has caused
SO much excitement.

Bailey.

bought them with my own money!"
Did you walk all that distance in
those shoes?' inquired the chief of
police.
YES" said the girl.
The shoes showed no signs of wear
whatever, and then Bailey's opinion
that the girl had been giving him d
pipe" resulting from an overbalanc-
ed imagination, was strengthened.
while his suspicious that the girl was
influenced by something in telling her
travelling yarns, were aroused, and
asked:
Say, did you ever read any dime
novelist"
"Oh, yes; I've read lots and lots of
them," said the johnson girl.
Thought So" grunted the chief.
Bailey says the girl must be stirred
by an unquenchable desire to do some
thing out of the ordinary, and she has
been spurred on by the romanticism
and impossibilities expressed in absyrd
and cheap literature. That the girls
mind is abnormally developed along
this line is the firm belief of the chief
He says that girl of her age would
never dream of the things which she
has accomplished in the past few
weeks had it not been for this. She
will remain at the Home for the
Friendless under arrest until DR.. Ken

NEW WAGON IS BOUGHT
Old Rattle Trap Used for the
Mails Is Gone.

The old rattle trap mail wagon,
which for several years has been trav-

Brumfield who recently secured the

Board of Works Has Plan to
Put the ViaduCt Agree
ment Into Effect.
DIVIDED INTO SECTIONS.
CONTRACTOR CAN BID ON ONE
OR THE OTHER OR ON BOTH
COST OF THE WHOLE Is ESTl-
MATED AT $4,000.

In order to place the Northwest Sec
ond street viaduct agreement between
the city and Pennsylvania railroad
company in effect without further de-
vertise for bids for the placing of the
sewer system, required under the terms
of the agreement, in two sections. The
contractor has the privilege of submit
ting bid for the construction of
either one of the two sections or for
both sections. Last summer bids for
this sewer system were advertised for,
but owing to the size of the job and
the state law which provides that con-
tractors cannot receive payment for
their work until the completion of the
job, no bids were received.
To overcome this difficulty, all the
lateral sewers in connection with this
proposed Northwest Second street sew
err system have been eliminated from
the plans for the time being and the
plan of building the sewer in two sec
tons has been adopted.
Cost Estimated at $4,000.
1t is estimated that the total cost of
constructing the two sections of this
sewer system will be about 5000.
Unoer the original plans, which in
Guided the lateral or feeding sewers,
the estimated cost was placed at $4S,-

When the board of public works ad-
vertises in December for bids on these
two sections, it will be specified that
the first section of this sewer system
will run from the outlet at the Sheri-
dan street bridge to West First street.
The second section will run from First
street to Norwest Second street and
thence to the Richmond division
tracks. The date for hearing remon-
strances on the resolution to be adopt
ed by the board to build this sewer
system in two sections will be some
! time this month. 1t is not thought
that any of the property owners in the
district where the sewer is to be plac-

praise which has been showered upon
this young artist is to be taken at its
face value. Certainly no artist in re-
cent years has met with such sensation
al success as this young man. who in
four years has jumped from COMPARE
tive obscurity. to an undisputed posi-
ton among the greatest of modern
virtuosos. In fact. many of the most
competent critics of the world have
placed him alone on the top rung Of
the violinistic ladder. The rise Of this
young American reads like a romance.
