NOT AFTER DILLoRY, HE SAYS.

Fox explains the assault by stating
that he had no intention of injuring
Dillory, but rather another man for
whom he had been laying for some
time. Dillory, he says, was the vic
tim of a case of mistaken identity.
Whether this story will hold water
when it is thrashed out in the court
of the justice remains to be seen.

MAKES GOOD SUGGESTION.

'In the arrangement of the depart
ments, said Mayor Schriver today,
each member of the commission has
madeShis own selection. Happily, no
two wanted the same department, and
hence the utmost harmony exists in
the commission. We have started out
under the most pleasing conditions
possible, with a determination to work
together on all propositions. All APP
pointments will be made with the great
est possible care, with an eye single to
the very best interests of the city. Po-
litical influences of any kind will have
absolutely no weight with the commits
sion. Fitness alone will be considered
in every instance, and in this connec-
ton we would like 10 impress it upon
all who endorse the written applica-
tons of those desiring positions that
we hope every one will act sincerely
The public expects the commission to
be sincere, and in return ii asks the
public to be sincere and not engage in
the prOmiscuous endorsement of can
didates. II is no more difficult for
citizen to decline to endorse a candi-
date for reasons of his own than it is
for the commissioners to decline TO
make appointments. If the citizens
will endorse only such candidates as
they consider fit and worthy, their ap-
proval of candidates will carry greater

ARE PLANNING FIRST ACTS.

Inasmuch as the law prohibits the
commission from taking any official ac-
ton until Monday, at which time it
Will hold its first public meeting, the
members of the board have been busy
talking over the conditions which con-
front them and planning what they de-
sire to cover in the first of the ordin-
ances which they will have to pass.
They find that they have a big task
ahead Of them, because so much is ex-
pected of them from the public. and
they are going to make every effort to
work in harmony and TO the very best
interests of the city.
The most tedious job which con
fronts the commissioners at present is
the constant interviewing by persons
seeking city positions. They are being
referred to the application blanks in
each case.

The Opera House Wall

A short time ago the city con-
demned the opera house as unsafe
because OF the north wall being
out OF plumb. Mr.. Rasse, the pro-
prietor had the wall torn out at
once and Is having It rebuilt. We
took a look ut the foundation and
wall and found the wall a little
threatening, but the foundation
was firm and true. The wall was
a good IS inch one, but storm
three years ago put II out OF
shape and II has since been a
little risky, but after being rebuilt
II will be as good as new. Mr.,
Rasse realizes the need of public
safety as well as the feeling OF
safety for those frequenting the
place and the public can now
breathe e,sy on this point. He Il
to be commended for the spirit
and promptness in which he made
the repairs.

Mr.. Stephens preached Sunday. Mr.

morning.
Rev. L. F. Clemens will preach at
Harmony next Sunday morning
and evening and requests us to
tell all the Republicans to come
out, but as the sinners need II
more we hope they will be pres
ent also.
The delegates from the Marshall

Church were Rev. J. r. Cortner

A. Peecher, Rev. A. J. Baker and
wife, DR.. J. L. Russell, Misses Leila
Hayes and Helen Bradford.
Now that our churches have de-
cided to do something we suggest
extending the union service from
three to- six months and instead
OF having to prepare sermons the
year around giving some OF them
n chance to get out in house to
house canvass outside OF the
membership with lot OF ribles
under their arm and leaving one
where none Is found. And at the
same time they can talk up the
work personally and invite the in
dividuals and show them that
someone does care for them and
not for the wealthy or standbys
alone.

been feeling the need OF some i'm

Dragging the Roads

e. L. Barnum, Colony steward,
and T. II. Huff, the coal man are
determined to have good roads, q
resolution all public spirited men
should make, and' they are doing
more than talking. The roads
leading out to the Colony have
been almost impossible OF late
and this week these gentlemen
got their heads together with the
result that they put some good
teams at work dragging the roads
at their own expense. Tuesday
evening Mr.. Huff took US on a
drive over the roads dragged and
one would hardly believe that
they were the same roads OF sew
eral days ago. The gentlemen de-
serve the community's thanks for
their enterprise.
In this connection We cannot
understand why the city doesn't
have several teams out on our
suburban roads and streets drag
ging them. 1t costs comparative
ly little and seems an expense We
can we'll afford. Farmers will do
we'll too to help along In their vi
cinity by hitching to q drag oc-
casionally. It's not only neighbol
" but > public benefaction, Let
the good work continue.

l72 bushels and rs lbs. and was
taken to the Farmers Savings
Bank. Four horses pulled the
load. Before unloading, a picture
was taken of the load by McChes-
ney. 1t looked more like a hay
stack than a load of coal.

with other general improvements.
The thing now to be considered Is
the raising OF the 5000 consid-

their usual hearty manner to this
good movement.

MAKES ASSAULT
UPON LAWYER
Tailor, Angered at Loss of Case,
Hit Attorney-Punished by
Judge Turpin.

r c H NJ o. d. VA.-Special-
Proceedings in the Civil J.suce
Court were considerably enliSened
yesterday afternoon when creole
Subreizi, tailor OF ia East Broad
Street, enraged because a judgment
had been found against him, violently
assaulted Attorney Walter Rhodes.
and was promptly sentenced to serve
twenty dhys in jail by Judge Turpin.
Attorney Rhodes had brought suit
to recover $35 claimed by the law
firm of Rhodes & Rhodes. Subreizi
resisted the action, but failed to make
good HIS case.
JusY as Judge Turpin instructed
the Clerk to enter the Judgment the
tailor sprang to his feet and, leaning
far over the rail behind which At
torpey Rhodes was seated. struck him
a smashing blow in the face.
fie was seized, however, before he
GOULD repeat the offense and appeared
~ be greatly concerned and agitated
Then the judge ordered him to Jail
FOR twenty days.
After court Attorney Rhodes re-
quested Judge Turpin to remit the
sentence, believing that Subreizi had
acted on sudden impulse and in the
heat of uncomfortable passion. The
judge accordingly substituted a $40
fine for the Jail sentence. This morn
ing the fine had not been paid, and
writ was issued against Subreizi and
put in the hands OF q deputy.

New separate skirts are shown in
velvets, corduroys, broadcloths, satins
and fine voiles. A few show fringe

Two millinery styles that are being
strongly featured for early fall are the
soft white and light-colored felts and
the colOred and black velours.
A decided taste is expressed for
black and white, or rather, for white

robes.
Velvet is largely used for the new
