tenn, and the enactment of a building
code she would be put in the first
rank.
W. also a to call attention to
the fact that the figures on this point
are very much against this statement
of the companies. In taking the fig
ures for the last ten years we should
get a fair average of fire losses. For
the ten years ending with 1907 the
fire losses in Richmond aggregated
$191 ,053. In this same period of time
the city paid to the companies in pre-
miums the sum of 1867, 765.SS. These
figures do not indicate a necessity for
increased insurance rates, nor that
the plants, as a rule, are in a very
bad condition"
The committee instructed Secre-
tary Haas to secure information con
| corning the reliability of the different
! mutual companies for the benefit of
the members of the Club, and also
recommend that someone from abroad,
who is thoroughly posted on the sub
ject of mutual fire insurance, to make
an address to the club in the near fu-
ture."
The committee is composed of S. E.
, Swayne, A. H-Bartel, G. H. Knollen-
berg, S. E. Jones and John l.. Rupe.

ARE INVESTIGATING,

Peculiarly mysterious was the rob
berry of w. c. McGinnis, of Peru, a
conductor for the c., C. & L. railroad,
as he lay asleep in a caboose in the
freight yards last night. The alleged
robber secured 500 of the conductors
money. .McGinnis and a brakeman
named j. A. Loring. of Peru, had gone
to sleep, McGinnis had removed his
trousers and after rolling them up
placed them under his head for a pill
low. Yesterday was pay day for the
railroad, n he had a good portion of
his pay in his pockets. Loring kept
on his clothes while he slept.
F. H. Durham, the other brakeman,
entered the car at about 1890 o'clock.
He noticed a trunk belonging to Gill
bert Scott, of this city,. a company
painter, was open n looked about the
car. He awoke the %sleepers n then
McGinnis discovered his loss. The
police are without a clue. .....

Commercial and Young Mems
Business Clubs Made
Proposition.
MAY SELL BEALLViEW LOTS
IF EACH ORGANIZATION DISPOS.
ES OF 100, IN EFFORT TO GET
RAIN CARPENTER FACTORY,
REWARD WILL, BE GREAT.

Assistance of the Young Mems Bus
mess Club and The Richmond Com
mercial club, in the disposal Of lots in
the Beallview addition, has been asked
by the South Side Improvement asso-
citation and the United Industrial COM
pany. At a joint meeting of the first
named organizations and representa-
tives of the latter two the proposition
was advanced. In the original con
tract between the Rahn-Carpenter
company of Cincinnati, which intends
to remove its factory to this city, and
ton, the company is to be paid $780,
600 and in turn will issue $4,000 of
capital stock to the South Side associa-
ton. Last evening the latter organ
ization came forward with a PROPOSE
ton to give the Young Mems Business
club and the Commercial club each
$4,000 of this capital stock, provided
each organization disposes of 100 lots.
The proposal met with favor by the
recipients and further inducement was
offered, when it was guaranteed the
company will buy back this capital
stock at par value four years hence.
This means that in return for the $780,
600 invested by the South Side associa-
ton, besides the location of the facto-
| ry, four years afterward it will be able
to sell $4,000 worth of capital stock
back to the company at par value and
then bestow on. the two organizations
that aided it in the sale of the 100 lots,
$4,000 each.
Before going into the matter the
Commercial and Young Mems clubs de-
sire to make independent investiga-
ton. This investigation is not
through any tinge' of suspicion as to
the sincerity of the proposition, but is
adopted merely as a protective meas
ure. The two clubs hold a favorable
opinion Of the proposition. The
Rahn-Carpenter company is regarded
as a concern that would mean a valu-
able acquisition to the city. Edgar
Hiatt and Edward Swayne of the Com
mercial club and Edwin Gates and S.
S.. Strattan, Jr., Of the Young Mems
Business club, compose the committee
that will go to Cincinnati.

me. and replied out of common polite
ess,'-with sidelong glance at Max
who stood with folded arms, watching
her gravely.
The duke threw his hands above his
head as if to call heaven to witness
that he was very much wronged
man.

colonel, go at once for priest"

fist.

the prince thumped the table again.

to break, use your own pastures. I'm

again. "Why. l wouldn't marry the

woman on earth!"

Fred G. Bonfils Fined.

Denver-Magistrate Thomas Carbon
fined Fred G. Bontils of the Denver
Post $50 and costs for the assault
committed upon Senator Thomas NJ.

prefaced his judgment with some urg-

Post and News-Times to stop their
bitter personal quarreling through the
columns of their papers.
In announcing judgment Justice Car

CHAPTER XII.

The Grand Duke of Barscheit was
tall and angular and weather-beaten,
and the whites of his eyes bespoke a
constitution as sound and hard as his
common sense. AS Max entered he
was standing at the side of Doppel-
kim.
There he isl" shouted the prince.
DO you know who he is?"
The duke took rapid inventory.
Never set eyes upon him before"
The duke then addressed her highness.
"Hndegarde, who is this fellow? No
evasions; l want the truth. l have.
in the main, found you truthful
II know nothing of him at all. said
the princess curtly.
Max wondered where the chill in the
room came from.
He says that his name is Scharfen-
STEIN" continued the princess, land he
has proved himself to be a courteous
gentleman"
Max found that the room wasn't so
chill as 1t might have been.
Yet you eloped with him. and were
on the way to Dresden suggested the
duke pointedly.
The princess faced them all proudly.

did not recollect, but he was finally
aroused by the sound of slamming
doors and new voices. He returned to
his chair and waited for the denoue-
ment. which the marrow in his bones
told him was about to approach.
1t seemed incredible that he, of all
persons, should be plucked out of the
practical ways of men and thrust into
the unreal fantasies of romance. A
hubbub in restaurant, headlong
dash into carriage compartment, a
long ride with princess, and all with
in three short hours! 1t was like some
weird dream. And how the deuce
would 1t end?
He gazed at the toys again.
And then the door opened and he
was told to come out. The grand duke
had arrived.
This will be the final roundup" he
laughed quietly, his thought whimsical
ly travelling back to the great plains
and the long rides under the starry
night.

mo, thousand times no! Take her
away-life's too short; take her away!
Let her marry the fellow; he's young
and may get over it."
The duke was furious. He looked
around for something to strike, and
nothing but the table being convenient
he smashed leaf and sent vase clat
tering to the floor. He was stronger
than the prince. otherwise there
wouldn't have been table to thwack.
That's right; go on! Break all the
furniture, if it will do you any good;
but mark me. you'll foot the bill" The
prince began to dance around. Il will
not marry the girl. That's as final as
l can make it. The sooner you calm
down the better"

Talking about Creole jealousy"
said the observant man, Il saw a
specimen of Chicago jealousy the
other night that had it beaten to a
fragile. A handsome fellow was at
dinner with two girls, whe1 young
woman came in, caught corner of
the tablecloth, and yanked the whole
tableful of dishes and dinner off onto
the floor, then walked out of the
room.
What did the man do? Followed
her and made friends with her again.
She was his tiancee. He gave her a
$500 diamond ring, afterward, they
said. If she had been his wife he
would in all probability have beaten
her instead Of giving her a present.
