Stiff AGAINST CITY,
Richmond Brick Company OBJ
jects to West Side Sewer
Assessment.
AMOUNT is TOO LARGE.

Alleging that the assessments of
benefits is far in excess of the value
of the property, the Richmond Brick
company has entered suit in the
Wayne circuit court against the city
of Richmond and the members of the
board of public works. individually,
asking the appointment of appraisers.
The brick company owns about three
acres Of land located west of West
Fifth street. For the construction of
the north section of the West Side
sewer the company is assessed 1886
and it is estimated the assessment for
the south section will be $400.
The company claims the assessment
is for more money than the land is
worth. The ground is not used for ag-
ricultural purposes. The soil is clay
and has proved excellent for brick
making purposes. A large amount of
excavating has been done. The sta
tutes provide that parties against
whom assessment are levied have the
right to appeal from the assessment
to the courts and ask the appointment
of board of three to make an ap-
praisment Of the land to determine
its value. This step is what the brick
company needs to do.

Bring me Money and l Will Kiss
YOU" Says American Wife of Today

New York. Aug. S.-"Come bring me
money and I will kiss you. Make me
a name in the world and I will noise
it abroad. Build me house more
splendid than other houses. set me
above my sisters. ana l will reflect
honor on you among men for the
clothes / wear and the excellent shape
of my figure"
This is the attitude of American
wives. according to Robert Herrick,
professor of English in the university
of Chicago. This is his representa-
tion of American women in his new
novel, Together" published today.
Thus he generalizes:
Prime Function Is Lost.
They have lost their prime func-
tion: they will not or they can not get
children. They are free, As never
women were before And these wives
are the custodians of men-not merely
of their purses but Of their souls
In this condition of American wo-
manhood the author discerns not the
progress, but the retrogression of wo-
man-not her rise, but her fall, her
sinking back to the condition of a
mere female creature. He writes:

THAN DECLARES
HIMSELF BANKRUPT
Through His Counsel He Files
Petition in the United
States Court.
CREDITORS PRESS HIM.
TO PAY-HIS TWO FIGHTS FOR
LIFE COST HIM seoo,ooo, FRIEND
SAYS.

Pittsburg, Aug. S.-Alleging that his
creditors are pressing unfair claims
against him and that he is unable to
pay, Harry Kendall Thaw, slayer of
Stanford White, last evening through
his attorney. Charles Morschauser,
filed petition in bankruptcy in the
United States court here. Detective
Roger OMara. of Pittsburg, was nam
ed as receiver Of Thaw's estate and
gave bond in 100000.
In his bankruptcy papers which were
signed by Thaw yesterday afternoon
while outside the Poughkeepsie Jail, he
shows some startling figures. He
places his assets at S12S,O22 and his Ii
abilities at S453, 40. Thaw through
his attorney sets forth plainly that he
does not believe that he owes the
$453.1 40. He names 13 creditors and
gives the amount which they claim
he owes. OF this number only two
claims are undisputed. He admits to
owing Mrs. Mary c. Thaw, his mother
$191 500 and he also approves the
claim of Roger O'Mara for $4OO fees as
a detective. There then follows in
his paper a list of creditors and their
amounts. 1t is understood that Thaw
disputes every one of the others and
will insist that O'Mara as his receiver
sift the claims to the bottom.
In his bill of assets Thaw sets forth
that he has $4,000 worth of real es-
tate. $4,000 in stocks and bonds
about $4,000 worth of books. &c.
He calls attention to the fact that
he has an income of $33,300 per year
from the various trusts created for
him. but this. it is ave-red can not be
touched by his creditors.
Receiver O'Mara. VINO was bonded
by John Newell and James Platt of
Pittsburg, in 100000 each, declines
to discuss the matter. 1t is under
stood. however, that O'Mara has been
working for months getting data
against some of Thaw's creditors.
From one close to Harry Thaw here
1t Is learned that he has already
spent $4,000 in his two trials, which
he thinks is enough, and every bill
paid from this time on must be bona
fide.

New Direct Primary Law OF
That State Given Initial
Trial Today.
HAS PECULIAR WORKINGS.
VOTERS ASKED TO WHAT PARTY
THEY BELONG AND ARE GIVEN
BALLOTS OF THEIR OWN AND
NO OTHER PARTY.

Chicago, Aug S.-The new direct
primary law of Illinois, declared by its
friends to be the most effective in
strument on any statute book provid-
ing for the expression of political pre-
ferences, is receiving it's first test to-
day.
The initial trial of the new law pre-
cedes an election in which is to be
chosen a governor and all other gen.
eral officers of the state, a legislature
which in turn will choose United
States senator and 25 congressman.
The vote today is the first actual test
of the direct method of choosing can
didates in a city so large as Chicago.
There was four ballots placed before
the voters today. These were from
the democratic, the republican, the
prohibitionist and the socialist par
ties. The independence party and the
Peoples party are not taking part in
the primaries. Every voter as he ap-
pears at the polls is being asked to
what party he belongs, and is allowed
to vote for the candidates of that
party only. He is being given the tic
ket of the party he mentions and no
other.
The men of each party receiving the
largest vote for any position for which
they are candidates will be declared
the nominee of that party for that of
flee. There will be no conventions
held later to ratify the selections of
the primary election, nor to nominate
candidates. An exception to this ap-
plication of the law is in the case of
the United States senatorship. The
legislature is to name the successor to
Senator Albert J. Hopkins and the
vote at today's primary will, for this
one office. be merely of an advisory
character.
Although the senatorship will not be
determined at the present primary
election, the contest for that office
has been as sharp as though it's re-
suit depended upon the advisory vote
which is being cast today. The can

WORK HAS FEW
TERRORS FOR HIM
Man in Easthaven Never
Knows When to Stop.

One evening seven years ago James
Kent returned to his home in Ander-
son and remembered nothing of cur
rent events. although not forgetting
events preceding. Yesterday he was
brought to this city and placed in the
Eastern Indiana hospital for the in
sane. One day he left home to go to
neighbor and borrow a saw. He
disappeared, but at the end of six
years he went to the neighbor, bor-
rowed the saw and returned home and
began saving wood. He can give no
account of what traspired in the mean
time. When told TO do task he un-
dertakes the work and will continue
at it until told to stop. He seems to
have no control over his mental fac
ulties. Friends hope treatment at the
hospital may effect cure.

DonneIly & Hatfield

The Donnelly and Hatfield Magnl-
ficent Minstrels, soon to appear in
this city, are touring the country on "a
special train of specially constructed
cars. The cars consisting of a COM
bination baggage car and diner. were
built for the exclusive use OF the DON
nelly and Hatfield aggregation and
are said to be the finest and most
modern of show cars. Every per-
former with the company is possessed
of an apartment and the manner in
which the Minstrels live while making
the rounds of the country is first-class
in every particular. The train is a
home in itself, and is supplied with
every convenience of life. The MIN
strels do not miss a meal, nor do they
miss nights rest. This enables
them to be in fit condition everywhere
they appear, thus giving the public
the performance as advertised. JEFF

UNDER THE sun.

People say, there is nothing new.
This is not correct, for Mr.. Montague,
Supt. Telegraphy of the Cotton Belt
r. r., is doing something unheard of
before. He is playing several in
struments between his Office and the
relay Office in one of the big general
Office buildings at Tyler, Texas, and
will take the Tyler Commercial Col
lege telegraphy students as they
qualify, and give them, under his own
supervision, eight or ten days special
practice before placing them in a
station. This, coupled with loop of
the Cotton Belt train wire. bearing to
the desk of each of our advanced
students messages passing over the
wire from Mt. Pleasant to Waco,
gives advantages to the learner OF
telegraphy never known before.
1t is but little wonder that the
management OF the TYLER Commercial
College have the greatest school OF
telegraphy in the world, for they
have spared neither time nor money
in making it So 1t is estimated that
over 10000 new telegraphy operators
will be needed after the first of March,
owing to the new National nine-houl
law going into effect. This is certain
ly golden opportunity for our young
people who desire to spend few
months in school, then go direct into
] splendid positions.
