1t traversed the abdomen of the wearer
is duh red with the stain of blood, and
gives evidence that it must have been
in use for years. Whether Father Leo
wore the penance chains upon all occa-

Probably there were but two people in
all the world who were cognizant of the
fact that the dead priest wore these
chains-Father Leo and his father con-
fessor. To impose such penance. in
flicting physical torture upon himself,
the individual whether priest or lay
man, must secure permission of the
father confessor. And there is strong
reason for this incorporated i'm the laws

"A man of noble stature and of very

to his shoulders il is of the color of

the middle of his forehead, after the
manner of the Nazarenes.
His forehead is smooth and very
serene, his face free from wrinkle and
spot, and with a slight color.
The nOstrils and lips cannot reason
ably be found fault with. The beard is
thick and. like the hair, not very long,
and divided in the middle.
There is a look of terror in his grave
eyes. The eyes are like the rays of the
sun, and il is impossible to look him
steadily in the face on account of their
brilliancy.

he admonishes, he weeps. He makes

1t AYERS that the Union Pacific Rail-
road company by voting this stock will
elect directors, who will be under its
influence and control. and will trans
act other business TO its advantage, to
the great and irreparable damage of
the Illinois Central Railroad company"
Prohibited by Laws of Utah.
The bill also sets forth that the laws
of Utah. under WhicE t. Onion Pa
cific Railroad company is organized, do
not give the power to hold stock i'm
other than railroad corporations and
declares that the public policy of IL
iinois prohibits a corporation from
/ holding stock in any other corporation.
| The bill further declares that at the
annual meeting to be held March 2, a
proposition will come up for the rati-
fication and approval of certain pur-
poses of branch railroads. and if it is
ratified by these. 281,231 shares of stock
the validity of such approval and rati-
ficatiOn will be subject to serious
question and that the money invested
by the Illinois Central Railroad COM
pany may probably be totally lost. The
claim is also made that the Union
Pacific Railroad company controls par
the Illinois Central, and that by such
stock ownership ii tends TO create a
monopoly and to stifle competition be-
tween railroads and is unlawful and
contrary to the public policy and laws
of the state of Illinois"
1t is also alleged in the bill that
on February 20 demand was made by
Mr.. Leman on the Illinois Central Rail-
road company that it bring suit seek

With forty patients at the Reid

they are cared for In the public wards.
A large number of the private rooms

The hospital has since it began OPP

three new cases of typhoid fever de-

At the present time there are twen-
ty-one Wernle Home children at the
hospital and all of them are suffering
with typhoid fever. The situation at
the home has become most serious
and it is possible that before the dread
disease is stamped out at the institu-

Two wards are now filled with

TRACTION COMP ANY
D|SOBEYS ORDERS
Feed Wires Being Permanent
w Attached to Main
Street Poles.
UP TO LEGAL DEPARTMENT
PRESIDENT STAUBAcH OF BOARD
OF PUBLIC WORKS SAYS THERE
is OPPORTUNITY TO TEST THE
ORDINANCE.

when the traction company laid it's
feed wires on cross arms at the tops
of those iron trolley poles, they told
me that they were only placing them
there temporarily. Now 1 see that in
the past two or three days they have
been at work attaching the wires per-
manently to the cross arms
The above was the wrathful state
ment made by President George Stau-
bach of the board of public works as
| he stood at the corner of Fifth and
Main streets this morning and gazed
| at the corner of Fifth and Main
streets this morning and gazed at the
| feed wires.
What action will the city take to
compel the traction company to re-
move the feed wires?" was the ques-
| tion put to Mr.. Staubach.
That is up to council and the legal
| department of the city, he replied
THE city, by the action the traction
company has taken now has an oppor-
tunity to test the legality of the Main
| street pole. ordinance, which prohibits
| any overhead wires on Main street ex-
cept trolley wires. l think the legal
department of the city should at once
bring action to compel the traction
company to remove the feed wires
| Mr.. Staubach stated that the trac.
tion company could place its feed
wires in the first alley north Of Main
street or the first alley south of Main
street and the arrangement would be
just as satisfactory as placing them
on the Main street trolley poles. "The
city runs its feed wire for the Main
! street arc lights on the first alley
north of Main and this arrangeme nj
has been found satisfactory" he stat
| ed
1t is very pleasing to the. board OF
| public works that all wood poles have
been removed from Main street by the
| first Of this month, as it saves the city
from entering into expensive litigation
to enforce the ordinance. Main street
is now one of the best looking thor
oughfares to be found in this section
of the country and out of town peo
pie who have seen it since the removal
of the pine forest have been high
ly complimentary.

THIS MORNING.

assured" remarked Secretary Garfield
this morning, and former Civil Ser
vice Commissioner w. d. Foulke SUBJ
stantiated this statement by a smile
and an approving nod. In regard to
the statement that the New England
States were doubtful, 1 can say there
is no danger from that quarter, be-
cause 1 have been there and l know
what l am talking about. continued
Mr.. Garfield.
''The only thing the Republican par.
ty has TO fear is over-confidence. In
my travels this campaign / have found
that the sentiment is Enthusiastically for
Mr.. Taft. The Republican party has
splendid cause and q splendid
chance. If l were not an. old stager
would say that a Repn6 m victory
this fall was sure thing" concluded
Mr. Garfield.
Many Richmond people this morning
attended the reception at the home
of Mr.. Foulke on South Eighteenth
street, in honor of Mr.. Garfield. Mr.
Garfield stood in the large living room
of Mr.. Foulke's beautiful home. and
as the stream of visitors passed by
him he cordially grasped each hand
and told the visitors how glad he was
to see them. Once or twice he uttered
the typical Rooseveltian greeting, dee

Mr.. Garfield is an ardent admire

FESTIVAL PLANS
lMOST COMPLETED
Places of Holding Part of Live
Stock Exhibits Have
Been Changed.
TOO WIDELY SEPARATED.
FOR THIS REASON WAS NEcES-
SARY TO MAKE CHANGE FROM
FORMER SITES-DANcES FOR
ENLISTED SOLDIERS.

There have been several changes in
the original locations for the vari-
Gus exhibits of the Fall Festival, made
necessary because the first plans of the
executive committee permitted these
exhibits to be too widely scattered. The
cattle show, which incidentally prom
ises to be very good one, has been
changed from South Eighth and H
streets, to North Fifth and A streets.
1t was necessary to provide barn ac-
commodations instead of tents for the
cattle. so the committee in charge of
the cattle show secured the big barn
of the Richmond Cream Company, so
it was decided to hold the cattle ex-
hibition on North A street in the near
vicinity of the barn.
Instead of holding the poultry, pig
con and rabbit exhibitions on Elm
Place, in the rear of the Jones Hard
| ware company, Adam H. Bartel Com
pany and the Arlington hotel, it has
been arranged to have these exhibits
| in a large empty store room on North
| Eighth street between the Railroad
Store and the Thistlethwaite pharm,
acy.
The plan of holding the general gar.
den truck exhibit on the vacant lot at
the corner of Main and Tenth streets
has been abandoned and this exhibit
will be held in connection with the ag,
ricultural exhibit at the South A street
market house. 1t has also been decid-
ed to hold the swine exhibit at the
market house.
| No change has been made in the
plans to hold the horse show on North
A street, or the flower show at the
court house. This latter exhibition
promises to be most beautiful one
1t has been decided to admit New
Castle florists to enter this competition
and Joe Hill of the flower show COM
mittee, is in New Castle today ar
ranging for exhibits from that city.
! The executive committee has EN-
ployed the Richmond City Band, the
Richmond Union Band and the Cam
the carnival. On Wednesday the
Smittie band of Cincinnati will also
be in the city. accompanying the Gin
cinnati Business Mems Club delegation
Owing to the fact that there have
been no entries in the band competi
ton, it has been decided to abandon
this feature. The three bands that viii
be here during the festival will come
on contract prices for their services.
/ The executive committee at it:
meeting last evening, decided to ac
cept the plan proposed by the Den
yer Brown Camp, Spanish-Americar
War Veterans. to give two dances fol
the enlisted men of the Tenth Infan
try on Wednesday night. AS the officer:
of the regiment are to be entertained
in this manner on Thursday evening
j the committee and the Spanish Wa
Vetertns thought it only right that tht
enlisted men should also be shown /;
good time. 1t is probable that the two
dances will be heldin the l. O. o. f
hall andLuken's hall. All enlisted mel
in uniform will be admitted free o
charge.

talks and that is all he does. What
has been done by his party? When
the Democrats were in power the In

were not enforced. Today the court
