Governor Mann's respite last weel

just in time for the extension of their

GOT BRUTAL PUNISHMENT

When Joe Johnson came to Rich
Park and invited the public to throw
baseballs at his monkeys head stuck
through a hole In the canvas, he had
no idea the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals would in
terfere with his business
For several days and night the
monkey stuck his face through The
hole in the curtain and young Amer
lea chunked baseballs at him.
Some times the monk would dodge
the balls and then some times he
would get smashed in the nose. Come
right up. gents, and try your luck. Hit
the monk. Three balls for cents"
This is the way Joe got the people
to buy balls and throw at the monk.
Usually a big negro sits behind the
canvas and sticks his ebony face
through the hole and dares the
novel show, and he purchased a
monkey.
Humane People Rebel.
Women and men visited lakewood
Park Saturday night and saw the
crowd throwing balls at the monks
head. They We're shocked. One husky
man struck the monk fair in the face
with big hard ball
The little animal ducked behind the
curtain with a Shrek of pain. Humane
people rebelled at such cruelty. They
determined to have the law on John
son. Therefore, they wrote several
letters to Emmett Taylor, agent for
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. protesting at the
brutality of the show.
Swearing out a warrant for johnson
last night, Mr.. Taylor called on Ser
geant Kerse at the Second Police Sta
ton to send an officer to lakewood
Park and assist him in Grresting John
son. Mounted Officer Krouse and Mr..
Taylor proceeded to the park and ar
rested Johnson on charge of cruelty
to animals. The monkey show was
broken up.
According to Johnson, WHO was bail
ed in the sum of 500 for his appear
ance in Police Court this morning he
has travelled "all over the world with
his monk" but he has never been ar
rested before for allowing people to
throw baseballs at its head. Johnson

mail train which heretofore left Rich
mond at 10 O'Clock in the morning
now leaves at 11:45; and thereby
throws out of killer all of the rural
free delivery routes and all of the
star routes by which Richmond busi-
ness men got in touch with the coun-
try merchants of six or seven counties,
is being criticized on all sides.
The article on the subject in Sun
days Times-Dispatch attracted not a
little attention in business circles. and
yesterday the Chamber of Commerce
committee on inland trade took the
matter and appointed a committee
10 confer with the State Corporation
Commission to see if there can be
found remedy for the trouble.
President stevens Heard From.
Traffic Maifager Goodman. of the
Chamber 81 Commerce, had already
conferred with Chesapeake and Ohio
officials in regard to the matter, and
being informed that President Stevens
was the only man TO see, he wired Mr..
Stevens before the latter's departure
from New York for Switzerland, and
the reply of the president was to the
effect that there was nothing doing"
President Stevens's letter. written
from New York in reply 10 Mr.. Good
man. admitted that the schedule was
made in the interest of the retail trade
of other points on the llne, regardless
of the iobbing or other interest of
Richmond, and in something of curt
way said the schedule could not be
changed.
Chamber Takes Action.
At the committee meeting yesterday
afternoon the idea prevailed that Pres
ident Stevens's reply to the traffic
manager cut off all further negotia-
lions with Chesapeake and Ohio Off
cials. and hence the only thing to dc
is 10 appeal to higher authority

E, S. Goodman and John c. Freeman
were appointed on this committee, and
they will probably have a conference

mission this morning.

Catch Mail Pouches.
Railroads in Virginia have been re-
quested by the United States govern
ment to install on all mail cars a
patent device invented by a man in
Iowa for catching and delivering

is slight possibility of mail bags being
ground to pieces under the wheels of
the train. when the new equipment is
In use.

Free Power-After One Year.

A writer in recent issue of the
Review of Reviews gave voice to a
truth which should be recognized by
all farmers, and especially those who
have sons they wish to keep on the
farm. It is to the effect that every
discouraging, hard work that in the
past has been done largely by hand
labor, is giving away to machinery
and power and that by so doing, this
drudgery becomes pleasure as we'll as
"a great saving in expense. Certainly
this should be more largely true in
Washington and Oregon than almost
any other states of the Union. There
is hardly farm even of small pro-
portion that does not have access to a
good flowing spring or even to larger
water rights and power. Yet, there
are farmers who do not realize that
by expenditure of less than one-halt
what hired man would cost for a
year, that money would install a
power plant by the proper utilization
Of this spring or waterhead, they
would accomplish more than twice the
labor the first year and with no extra
expense. This has been proven over
and over again by farmers who have
adopted these modern methods. >Elec
tricity has too long been faithful
servant whose power has been employ
ed by the city folks alone, while the
farmer has to do his work by hand.
An unlimited number of things may

A Fine Opportunity.

We are in receipt of the following
letter from Mclaughlin Bros. horse
importers of st. Paul, Mimi, Colum-
bus, Ohio, and Kansas City. They
offer fine opportunity to get splen-
did stallion this late in the season.
st. Paul, Mimi, April 26.
AS Is our custom, we have been
saving some of the best stations in
our last importation to show at the
state fairs and horse shows this year
but, on account of the fact Mr.. James
Mclaughlin has bought lot of horses
in France that he thinks will be good
enough to show and win with this
year, we have concluded to offer those
we now have on hand for sale. Under
these circumstances, we can offer at
the present time better lot Of Per-
cherOn stations than has ever been
placed on the market before at this
season of the year. Every horse on
the market is IN prime condition and
ready for business. Although these
horses are Of superior quality yet we
are willing to sell them at low price.
Our customers always have the very
best horses to select from, new I'M
portations are constantly arriving,
and our prices are lower than the
same quality can be offered elsewhere.
Mr.. James Mclaughlin bought his
horses and arranged to have them
delivered to come on the "Minneha-
ha" this week but, on account of the
fact that the vessel was wrecked on
the rocks entering the English chan
mel. and cannot return this week, he
is obliged to delay his shipment one
week. They will sail on the "Minne-
