Horton of the Y. M. c. A. Well
Pleased With the Out
look Here.
INTERESTED IN BOYS.

Physical Director Horton OF the
Richmond I. NJ. C. A. has arrived here
to assume his duties. Mr.. Horton will
devote most OF his time this month,
he states, arranging for the parapher-
MALTA with which the gymnasium will
be equipped This will occupy con-
siderable amount of his time but he
says that he will also have the time
to spend an hour or two each day at
the public school play grounds on

with the boys after which he may. if
the school board so desires. conduct
daily classes at the play grounds and
instruct the boys in various healthy

Secretary Taft, if Nominated,
and William Jennings Bry-
an Among the Several
Speakers.
FIRST OPPORTUNITY
TO HEAR SECRETARY.
Although He Has Many Times
Made Trips Near Richmond
He Has Never Spoken in
This City.

indianapolis, Ind, June Erich
mond will have her share OF the spell
binders during the approaching polite
al campaign. The subcommittee of
the republican state committee having
the assignment of speakers in charge,
is busily at work on the schedule for
stump speakers. The schedule will
be placed in force Immediately after
the two national conventions are out
Of the way. The same is true OF the
democratic sub committee and Rich
mOnd will be given a gOOd-sized share
of the oratorical fireworks when it is
all boxed ready for shipment.
The Quaker City is to be given
chances to hear Bryan and Taft-the
supposition being that Taft will be
nominated. If he is not, then the
lucky man who draws the plum at Chi
cago will fill the date. Bryan will be
sent whether he is nominated or not.
There will be little difference made in
his speaking dates dependent upon
this contingency. AS now arranged
Bryan will be in Wayne county during
early September. With him will be
a number of state leaders and spell
binders of note, among them being
John w. Kern. who, by that time, may
be carrying the hOnOrs of the vice
presidential nomination.
Richmond and all Wayne county
supporters Of Secretary Taft will be
pleased by the announcement that If
nominated he will be sent there for an
address. Wayne county has not had
an opportunity to see nor hear the sec
retary. despite his frequent long dis
tance tours of the country. It is
known here at headquarters that
Wayne county is pulling hard in favor
of Taft and in case of his nomination
the men who arrange such things
know they would be making a ten
strike by giving Richmond a date.

Boy Sent to Reformatory Is Ill How
ever.

The rumor to the effect that Har-
old Mitchell, the young man recently
sent to the state reformatory for com
plicity in the burglary of the Empire

go the amputation of an arm, was
branded as unfounded by Patrolman

sonville last night. Mitchell is afflict-
ed with an incurable disease and one
arm is severely affected. He was
placed in the hospital as soon as he
arrived at the reformatory, and has
been kept there since. Dame rumor
had it this morning that death had re-
suited from the operation.
