ZIMMERMAN MAKES
A BIG DISCOVERY

That water hydrant was installed
at the Automatic Tool works in the
south side at the expense of the city
and that it has been maintained by
the city, was told city officials today
by superintendent H. A. Dill of the
Richmond City Water Works.
The matter will be investigated by
the mayor and the city engineer May
or Zimmerman stated that if this were
true. the city would discontinue pay
ing for the hydrant, as the municipal
fly would not pay for the fire protec-
tion of a concern outside the city lin

builds there to escape paying city tax

Wayne County No Exception

The regulars and the Democrats will name
all of the election boards and will count the votes
Owing to the increased size of the ballots and the
long string of tickets and candidates there will
be greater opportunity than ever for making cost
ly mistakes in voting.
If the regulars and the Democrats select lot
of cold-blooded, wise old political owls for their
election officers it is cinch that thousands of
well-intended votes will not be counted The
slightest techncality is liable to result in the
throwing out of vote for the Rough Rider or
Beveridge The regulars are battling for the fu-
ture, and the Democrats, it is generally believed,
would rather continue the Republican party as it
is now constituted than to do battle with new Or
ganization that has sentiment behind it-Cincin-

Dorm Stock Sold at Auction.

The Dorm clothing store will soon
be a thing of the past. At the public
auction of the stock held here Tues
day afternoon at two o'clock by
Trustee Ettinger, there ewere four
teen bidders, each of whom had put
up a 1000 guarantee as evidence
of good faith. The bids started at
$4,000, and quickly went above
$1,000, when all but "a few dropped
out. Only two firms from Charlton
were bidding, Hollinger & Larimer
and Brewer & Blake, and these two
We're the highest bidders, Brewer &,
Blake's last bid being $1,000.
Hollinger & Larimer expect to
close out the stock at once. T. J.
Murphy, who was head clerk for Mr.
Dorm, has been retained by them to
help close out the stock.
The $3.50 will be practically all
the assets there will be in the Dorm
settlement, and as the liabilities to-
tai about $4,000, including the
81 900 claim of Stephen Varga, and
as the cost of settling up the business
will be several thousand dollars, the
creditors will probabl not get over
H. C. French, referee in bankrupt
cy in this district, came to Charlton
last Friday to attend the first meet
ing of creditors of the A. E. Dorm
stock. The meeting was held in the
assembly room of the court house,
and the creditors who had filed their
bills elected S. J. Ettinger, who lives
in Des Moines as trustee in the pro-
ceedings. Webb Hultz, of this city,
will be receiver in charge. The cred
itors will have full year to file
their bills, after which the assets of
the bankrupt will be divided pro rata
among the authorized creditors.
While here Mr.. French heard the
remonstrance of some of the credi-
tors against the claim of Stephen
Varga, of Leon, for $4,000. Mr.
Varga is a brother Of Mrs. Dorm, and
he had extensive business dealings
and long acquaintance with A. E..
Dorm, the merchant who is bankrupt.
He said that before this escapade of
Mr.. Dorm he had always found him
of strict integrity, and had no reason
to suspect his honesty. Mr.. French
did not have time on Friday to hear
the arguments in the matter in full,
and continued the hearing until to-
morrow.
He ordered the Dorm stock here
sold at public auction on Tuesday of
this week.
The creditors decided to try and
find Mr.. Dorm and punish him for
his Standardization Herald-Pat-
riot.

ARCTIC HERO COMING.
Lincoln Writ of n Thousand Heroic
Alaskan Adventures to Tell
His Great Story at
ChautauQua.

Chautauuua patrons this season
are TO be given a story that will thrill
them to the bones. 1t is the story
by Lincoln Writ of his marvellous ex-
periences in the Arctic regions while
serving as Commissioner OF Educa-
ton for the U. S. Government In AL
aska.
Lincoln Writ all alone, accom-
panied only by Eskimo guides, blazed
trail twelve hundred and fifty miles
in length, through trackless wilds
and EXTREMIST weather, where the
foot of white man had never before
trod. The story of that trip is bulg-
ing with interest and all but sets a
new standard of human endurance.
The story is educational as it re-
veals the great resources OF Alaska,
describes new tribes Of savage men,
tells of wild religious dance of ma
tives, relates interesting anecdotes
of the Eskimo dog and his uses and
reveals many interesting facts here
tofore unknown.
Hundreds of miles of Mr.. Wirt's
famous trip were covered under the
EXTREMIST conditions and in the hOr-
rible gloom of the long Arctic night.
But he worked his way through and
saved a camp of three thousand min
ers on the frosen coasts from ami
hilation.
Mr.. Writ will be brought directly
from Alaska for his tour of the Red
path-Vawter Chautauquas, and full
of enthusiasm for his work, will tell
one of the most interesting tales of
exploration and adventure ever told
by man.

Trouble Over Lannon'S New
Coliseum.

Our neighboring town of Lamont
recently completed a fine new coli
scum, of which they may we'll be
proud, and it will be formally opened
and dedicated this evening. But it
appears there is trouble brewing
among the stock holders, the funds
having been raised by popular sub
scription, and a large block Of stock
was taken by members of the l.. d.
S. church The managers of the
coliseum engaged a theatrical COM
pany to open the new building with
a weeks engagement, and this seems
to have raised the ire of the church
people who claimed they subscribed
for stock for coliseum or assembly
building and not for theatre, and
some are reported as refusing to pay
their assessments. The following
special from Lamont appeared in
Mondays Register and Leader:
Lamont, Ia, Feb. 1S.-Special:
Several things have happened in this
city of brotherly love and habitat of
the disciples of the Latter Day Saints
to disturb the usual serenity of the
place and it is feared that unless a
wise mind is employed in allaying
the fears of the leaders Of the church,
the worldly conditions that have
| been allowed gradually to grow up
on the community may result SER
iously.
While the people of the communi-
| ty were engaged in a crusade on the
| to the fact that while the church
1@1 hoS IN
built in the town a model lecture
or assembly hall, they found they
had subscribed for modern opera
house. The crusade against tobacco
did not promise any serious results
and people are generally quite will
ing to accept the edict Of the church,
which is one of long standing, as
final, but the opera house matter is
something Of different character.
The first intimation of any feeling
in the matter was given when the
trustees of the Lamont coliseum COM
mittee announced that Bishop E. L..
Kelley, of Independence, Mo-, is to be
here at the opening and dedication
of the building, Feb. %, and that he
would have something to say on that
occasion.
The appearance of this notice
caused several of the stockholders
in the building fund and others, who
felt that they had been imposed up
on by the trustees in erecting mod
ern opera house or theater, when
they supposed they had subscribed
to and were furthering a project for
a lecture or assembly hall. These
aggrieved ones agitated the circula-
ton of petition to Bishop Kelly,
asking that he Investigate and OBJ
tain an understanding of the situa-
ton before he commits himself to a
promise to participate in the exer-
cises. This petition largely is being
signed, many of the leading officers
of the Latter Day Saints Church be-
ing among the signers. Several who
nave subscribed for stock have de-
clared they will not pay their sub
scriptions and should the trustees
undertake to collect it may result IN
serious trouble and possible litiga
ion
