Mrs. Miers, the wife of the victim, wit

her husband in Peru several weeks ago
with her four small children and came
to live at the same house where Pugh
lived. Miers had accused Pugh of be-
ing the cause of his wife's separation
from him and, Pugh believing Miers'
appearance at the house this mornir.S
was to seek revenge, drew a pistol and
shot Miers before a word had passed

Tag Day Melted $821.47
Which Will Be Used for the
Care of Pauper Inmates.
EXCESS OVER LAST YEAR.
SHOWING MADE IN RICHMOND
LITTLE SHORT OF MARVELLOUS
WHEN COMPARED TO DoNA-
TIoNs OF OTHER CITIES.

The thirty-five hundred hospital day
tags which were worn by thirty-five
hundred men and women yesterday,
and discarded this morning, cost the
wearers, all told, just $S21.47.
Pretty high price for thirty-five hun
dred pieces of pasteboard, eh?
No, not in the least-cheap at twice
the price, you will be answered IL
foolish enough to ask such question.
All of this money. except $3.50 which
was the incidental expense, will be de-
voted to caring for the unfortunate
sick and injured cared for at the Reid
Memorial hospital who have not
enough money to pay their hospital
expenses.
The hospital authorities will extend
just as good care and treatment to a
pauper as they will to millionaire,
but in caring for the former, the ex-
pense falls not upon him but upon the
institution and it must have money to
meet the expense. That is the reason
tag day was originated last year and
made an annual event.
The amount raised this year through
the sale of tags was $3.50 more than
was raised last year. There were ap.
proximately as many tags sold last
year as this, but the average donation
was larger. There was no set price
for tag. The person who gave cent
was given 2 tag just as cheerfully as
the one given the man who contribut
ed $40.
When it is considered that on tag
day in Indianapolis last week only
$1,000 was realized, the showing
made by this city, which has about
one-tenth the, population of Indianapo
lis, is little short of marvellous. The
members of the Womens Aid society
Of the Reid Memorial hospital are de
| lighted with the generosity shown by
the people of this city and this morn
| ing the Palladium was asked to con
| vey the thanks of the society to every
contributor.
The tags used yesterday were print
ed by the Nicholson Printing company
and were presented to the aid society
without charge.

Candidates Throat Improves
And Republicans of Rich
mond and Wayne County
Are Happy.
GREATEST CROWD OF THE
CAMPAIGN is EXPECTED.
Delegation of Richmond Citi-
zens Will Go to Greenfield
Where Greetings Will Be
Extended.

Judge William Howard Taft, republi-
can candidate for president, will keep
his engagement and deliver a twenty
minute address in this city next Satur-
day morning at so o'clock. Will
Hays of the republican speakers bu-
reau of Indiana, has sent word that
the candidates throat has improved
and he will be able to keep his sched-
ule in Indiana and make the address
es for which he is booked. This will
be welcome news to the republicans of
Wayne county. Great preparations
had been made for the visit Of Judge
Taft to Richmond and the announce
ment that his throat had failed and he
would be unable to speak here, was
greeted with disappointment.
Since the welcome word has come
from Hays, the local committee will
renew it's efforts to boost the visit of
the candidate. Advertising matter has
been distributed throughout the county
and it is expected that the greatest
crowd of the campaign will be at the
Pennsylvania depot when the Taft
special arrives. The candidate will
speak from a stand to be erected at
Tenth and North e streets 1t had
been proposed to bring the candidate
up town or to the South Tenth Street
park, but the managers of the tour did
not deem this expeditions as time
would be lost in the transportation to
and from the place of speaking.
The time will be unusually early for
campaign speech, but this is not ex-
pected to hinder in the least. An ef-
fort will be made to have the North
E street merchants and manufacturers
decorate their properties in a fitting
manner. 1t is expected they will re.
spond gladly. Nothing in the way OF
a celebration will be attempted, as
John l.. Griffiths speaks Saturday
evening and a parade will be held
then.
A committee composed Of the fol-
lowing representative citizens will
| meet the Taft train at Greenfield and
welcome the candidate to Richmond
| William D. Foulke, John l.. Rupe
John Mccarthy, E. NJ. Haas, Lewis
Bowman, Henry Mason and DR.. T. H
Davis.
The Taft train will make a short
stop at Cambridge City but the can
didate will make no speech.

STAGE FOLK IN BIG BENEFIT.
Especial to The sentinel.D

New York, July 22.-What it is
declared will be the biggest and most
original theatrical benefit ever ar
ranged is scheduled for tonight at
Coney Island when the fortunate
possessor of tickets will witness a
production called "A Night With the
Stars at Dreamland. Practically all
of the prominent theatrical folk now
in New York or vicinity will be seen
in costume at the big Dreamland
ballroom, over the Atlantic. The pro-
ceeds will go to the Mothers Seaside
Rest. home for the tired, i'll and
heat-stricken mothers and children
of the metropolis.
The program for the affair includes
dozens of big numbers, in which the
leading lights of the theatrical firma-
ment will shine. Then will come the
grand march, followed by ball
which will extend into the wee hours
of the morning.
Some of the shrewd ones among
the stars have decided TO charge all
the traffic will bear for the priv
ilege of dance and it is likely that
the funds of the Mothers Seaside
Rest will be considerably swelled
thereby.
Several big theatrical benefits have
already been held this summer for
the benefit of the mothers and chill

Especial to The SentineI.D

Auckland, N. T., July 22.-Al-
though New Zealand owns allegiance
to the British crown, the ignorant Wis
itor would be inclined to believe it an
American colony, owing to the wild
enthusiasm that has been aroused by
the prospective visit of the Yankee
fleet. Thousands of American flags
have made their appearance in the
city. The fleet will not arrive until
August 8, but the preparations for its
reception, in progress for many
weeks, are about completed.
The governor of the colony all the
federal officials, mayors and NUM-
cipal authorities will participate in
the welcome. Guns will boom and
American flags float from staffs ali
over the city when the battleships
steam into the h2rbor. There will be
receptions, excursions and parades
galore, sporting events for the sail
ors and dinners for the officers. The
Legislature will adjourn during the
stay of the fleet and will give an
elaborate function in hionor of the
American admirals.

in the lonely cabin on the Klet stock
ranch about 12 miles east of Las An

spattersd on the walls and general

he grappled with his assailant and
battled for his own life before the

MILEAGE AND MORALS

~ UPERvISOR GEORGE ALEXAN-
DER has what the victims might
~ characterize as an unpleasant
habit of scrutiny and analysis which
he applies from time to time to politi-
cal conditions as they arise. After he
makes a discovery that leads him to
believe that there is room for i'm
provement in some detail he speaks
his mind. When he thus speaks his
mind. there is generally great excite
ment, because he has a logged. direct
way OF talking. and under no circum-
stances can he be persuaded to refer
to a spade as an agricultural imple-
ment.
His accusation that members of the
board of supervisors have been padding
their personal accounts by using the
automobile provided for the county
highway commission and then charging
the county for mileage has not been
denied. On the contrary, it has been
met by the statement that the practice
is defensible. The roundabout reason
ing which leads to this conclusion on
the part of accused officials is that
il the automobile had not been at their
disposal they would have been obliged
to expend and TO charge mileage, and
that therefore the charge was proper.
This is somewhat in line with the
schoolboy's defense when he was ac-
cused Of robbing a, birds nest. He
said: "well, if hadn't taken the eggs

We do not criticise officials for fol-
lowing what they sincerely believed to
be a custom and for excusing them
selves on the ground of precedent and
example. But the custom is assail-
able even if the practice is defensible.
The district attorney will give an opin-
ion on the subject, and without doubt
if his views accord with those of Mr.
Alexander the supervisors accused of
the mileage grab will gladly restore
the money their right to which is called
in question. If, however, the decision
is adverse to the position taken by
Mr.. Alexander, it will be in order for
public officials to use public automo-
biles and other public vehicles when
ever and wherever they can. and per-
haps also to travel on railroad passes,
and then to charge the city or the
county with the full fare by railroad.
