WOMAN FINED FOR
CUTTING ANOTHER
Mrs. Maggie Ralston, De.
PENDANT, Said Another
Committed Offense.

An attempt to prove that cut on
the arm Of Anna Ladd, colored, was
self inflicted, was made in police
court this morning by Mrs. Maggie
Ralston, colored, who was charged
with the cutting. After hearing testi-
mony of witnesses Mrs. Ralston was
fined 81 and costs.
The cutting scrape occurred Satur-
day night at Eighth street and the
Pennsylvania railroad, following a
quarrel between Mrs. Ralston's sis
ter, Emma Burden and Anna Laid
over which one of the women was to
accompany a colored man who was
also there. The Ladd woman carries
a knife in her sleeve and she slashed
at Mrs. Ralston when the latter inter
ferred with the quarrel. Mrs. Rails
to asserted that the cut was inflict-
ed when Miss Ladd's arm was struck
by fourth person who tried to pre-
vent the cutting.
Charles Pauls was fined 81 and costs
for public intoxication in police court
this morning.

DOEFER IS BEFORE
j. 5. COMMISSIONER
Post Office Inspector Takes
Case Up This Aft
ernOOn.

The trial of William Doefer, aged
II, charged by the federal authorities
with breaking into building used for
postoffice purposes, was started this
afternoon before Deputy United States
Commissioner Perry Freeman. Doe
fer robbed the Quigley drug store on
North Il street last week, stealing $14
worth of stamps.
Postoffice Inspector Charles Swain,
who is a resident of this city, is in
charge of the case. Until this morn
ing it was not decided who should
prosecute the case, the state or the
government postofficials, but on &C
count of the youths past criminal rec
ord, the case was taken up by Swain.
The statutes provide a fine of not
more than $1,000 and Imprisonment at
hard work of not more than Ave years.
Doefer came to this city about ten
days ago from Chicago. He was given
food when he arrived here by James
Quigley. Doefer was given work, and
last Wednesday night he robbed the
Quigley store. He was arrested the
following day by Chief of Police Cor
mon to whom he admitted the burg
larry. He escaped from Jail, but was
recaptured.

EXPERT COBB NOT
TO ANALYN SOIL
Agricultural Agent Outlines
Plans For Help of
Farmers.

Soil in Wayne county will not be
chemically analysed by County Agri-
cultural Agent \. D. Cobb according
TO that Official.
Mr.. Cobb arrived yesterday after
noon, and since that time has made
the acquaintance of many Wayne
county farmers and residents OF the
city. Some OF the plans of Mr.. Cobb
in stimulating interest in scientific
farming have already been outlined by
him
The process OF Analysing soil is not
difficult. though considerable compli-
Gated machinery is necessary for the
analysis, and much time is necessarily
taken in each test. The cost OF one
analysis is s35 TO the state, according
to Mr. Cobb.
Mr. Cobb has an automobile. and
will be allowed 5000 per year for the
expense of the machine. He proposes
TO make many trips throughout the
country and rural districts and work
with the farmers as much as possible.
Demonstrations and experimental
work will be given.
1t is proposed by the agent to make
experiments in as many localities as
possible with farmers who are in
sympathy with the movement.
Through the progressive element in
the county it is believed all farmers
will be in sympathy when they see
the results. To get the confidence of
the men with whom he is working is
to be one of the first propositions he
will attempt.
The propagation of alfalfa will be
one of the features advocated by
Cobb. This form of feed has never
been raised extensively here. 1t is
believed by the new Official that it
can be successfully raised. Lack of
calcium carbonate in the soil is one
of the reasons why it has not been
a successful crop here" he said. Ar
engagements have been made whereby
a high grade of this chemical can be
obtained at a low price.

were continually at a "Dago" camp
at Germantown and the girl was re-
ported~to have been delinquent
Drischell telephoned to Sheriff
Bayer that there was no place to con-
fine them at Cambridge City and as it
was necessary for him to stay there
that night, requested the sheriff to
send some one after the couple The
sheriff was unable to do so because of
the raid made on a gambling camp,

his prisoners at liberty

davit today charging him with con-
tributing to the delinquency of the

WILL WATER MAIN
LOWER FIRE RATE2

Local fire insurance men have been
unable to determine what effect the
new water main which is being laid
will have on rates in this city.
The present rates were listed by
the bureau in 1907, taking effect in
May. 1908. Richmond was then placed
in Glass 3. In order to change the
classification from three to two the
bureau said that certain improvements
in building, in lighting and preventing
fire would have 10 be made. Among
these were the laying of another main,
underground wiring and an aerial
ladder
The pages containing the latest re-
ports and the tariff corrections of the
bureau based on them have just been
received. The report says that the
hydrants of the water works are suf-
ficient and we'll placed. and as a whole
the mains of the city are fair and well
tied together
The fire stations, according to the
report, are well located and within
easy access of all parts OF the city,
with the exception of West Richmond.
The alarm boxes are also numerous
and well located.
The report says:
Water supplies are apparently ad-
equate and are furnished by the infil-
tration system through galleries in
yard and the Cooper we'll which lies
three miles south of pumping station.
Pumping station is of substantial
construction, cleanliness, and mainte-
nance good. Sufficient men are on
duty at all times to handle apparatus
and chief engineer lives near the sta
ton"
The men employed by the fire de-
partment are sufficient for all ordi-
nary demands, but would not be suf-
ficient to handle the apparatus in
time of a great conflagration, says the
report. The point that one block on
Main street can command twelve
streams without laying over three hun
dred feet of hose, is commented on as
exceptionally good.

MAKES OBJECTIONS
TO FETzER'S PLAN

G. w. Jordan, secretary of the Nor
ton Park and Lake company, today en-
tered an objection to the proposal of
Charles Fetzer, privilege holder at
Glen Miller park, to secure ten
year contract with the city for the
privilege of placing amusement de-
vices in the park.
Richmond is to have a white city
at Morton park" Mr.. Jordan stated,
land it would be unnecessary to pro-
vide amusement features at the Glen.
Also, the Glen is not intended for
such purposes. 1t is a public park,
where people go for rest and recrea-
ton"
The Morton Park company has re-
ceived a number of inquiries from
amusement promoters who are anxious
to secure privileges at the white
city" section of the park, which NgiD
be located at the extreme northeaSs
end of the lake. A number of legi5:-
mate attractions will be permitted to
be established there, such as scenic
railway, a figure eight, Ferris wheel,
Observation-Disclosures, moving

receipts of these amusement conces-
sions.
Two Public Parks.
1t has been determined to locate a
small public park ABOUT Hawkins
springs, which are just south of the
| lake. A little to the west on the
south shore near the Chautauoua site
will be another public park and a
bathing beach. On the south shore,
near the dam, will be the steamboat
landing. The boat is now under con-
J struction, and will accommodate two
| hundred passengers. 1t will make reg.
ular trips between the dock and the
white city.
A public boathouse on the south
shore is also planned, where people
who do not own cottages can keep
rowboats, motorboats and canoes at
small expense. A small fee will will
be charged to such class of boat own.
ers for the use of the lake.
The small boys of Richmond are
looking forward with keenest inter
est to the completion of the lake, and
scores of them are now busily en-
gagged in constructing canvas canoes
The dam is going up rapidly, and it
will not be long until it is finished
and the lake basin will begin to fill.

A EIsAlN' WE WILL GO

About the first thing an easterner
who visits in the county wants to
do lis to catch a mountain trout. This
is very easy. All you have to do Is
to take the advice of the numerous
fishermen. Get your outfit together,
be sure and get your license and
start for the creek. After you arrive
at satisfactory point, just drop in
your line. The fish are plentiful any
place and the only trouble you will
have is to get the fish to take hold
of the hook. The mountain trout is
little bit bashful, and ID you have
not been properly introduced, you
may have little trouble in getting
them to nibble. They will, however,
kick up their innble heels, display
tile slit in their trousers leg and
endeaycr to interest you while they
are consulting among themselves as
to which one will investigate what
you have offci ed them. After you
have stood around cn tie bank for
several days, changed fl:es several
J times. spit on your Ecck innumerable
times. small boy viii, come along
who is native and has been rails
ed with fish and show you how the
trick is done. After that you will
have NO trouble fishin', but you may
have scme trouble in getting fish
enough to eat. The first nibble or
strike you will give your line an aw-
full jerk; this will cause ycir nae to
fly high in the air. The hook will
get tangled up in the dense shrub
berry. You, however, will pay no at
tention to the line, but will begin a
systematic search of the surround
ing country for the fish. After an
hour or so, you will become disgust
ed and go back and untangle your
line. By the end of week you will
become convinced that you do not
have much chance and that the ma
tives do not give you the right tips
on how and where to fish.
But when you return to your native
land you can beguile the people with
stories of the fish you caught in the
mountain streams. AT least that is
what l intend to do when l get back
to Iowa.

Irish FIuency.

Educated persons find 1t hard to be-
lieve that an Irish peasant speaks al
ways with q compelling sense of style.
That 1t is SO. Mr.. Padraic Colum de-
clares in my Irish Year" He tells.
Of a man saying that "he was offered
gallons Of gold in Caron Jail to betray
the country" He used gallons" with
gold" for the ALTERATION. Another
man said. II could have made monu-
ments of money, II had stayed in
America"
1t Is said that the English peasant
has vocabulary Of from 300 to 500
! words. Doctor Petersen took down
$500 words used by the Irish peasant
ry Of the Aran islands. DIR. Douglas
Hyde wrote down a vocabulary of g.
600 words from the mouths of Roscom-
mon peasants who could neither read
nor write. and he thinks he fell short
by 1000 words Of the vocabulary in ac-
tual use! He believes that in Munster,
especially in Kerry. the average vo-
cabulary In use among Irish speakers
Is probably between 5000 and 5000
words.
Behind this abundant vocabulary
there is a highly developed social
sense. In peasant Ireland. satire il
current. and has noticeable effect. An
old man ate meal In his sons house
one day, and afterward he spoke Of his
daughter-in-law's housekeeping. God
made meat" says he. land somebody
else made cooks" The Gael has al
ways been marked for his abundant
and vivid speech. and for his conspicu-
Gus martial qualities. Born soldiers

GOLD IN CONES

The latest kink in go!d-smelting is
to cast the gold in conical shapes an
stead Of bars and bricks, with the
express purpose of making it diff
cult for thief to walk away with
a cone. The cones are nodded to
almost any size, one measuring a
foot or perhaps foot and a half in
diameter ON the base. Such shape
Is extremely unwieldy. Slings and
tongs have been designed to facili:
tate handling them in the smelling
works because they are SO clumsy.
A thief provided with such sling
would have an embarrassing time get
ting away with cone in contrast
with the ease with which bar or
brick may be covered up to give 1t
an appearance that will not arouse
suspicion.
Some slight advantages in molding
have also been obtained by using
this shape In the Arizona smelling
works where Is has been adopted

RETURN OF THE QUEENS

One by one the mineral queens
have returned from Denver, where
they ruled right royalty during the
conclave week at the exhibition OF
Gilpin county. The girls, after they
had finished with the assignments
as queens visited their various rel
atives in Denver and returned to
Central with many happy memories
of their splendid visit. They were
quartered at the Brown Palace hotel
where their beauty attracted atten
ton from the many visitors from the
various states, who made the Brown
their stopping place. The girls all
acquitted themselves splendidly as
exponents of the mineral wealth OF
Gilpin, and many a brave Knight Oh
the conclave came in to hear them
discourse. In fact, they were de-
cided hit with everyone. On their
arrival they were driven about the
city in a big tallyho drawn by four
white horses and naturally were the
center of attraction. A box party in
the Crpheum was given them Thurs
day evening, where they appeared
in full regalia, with their mineral ban
ners and the crowded house divid-
ed its attention. between them and
the stage. A dinner at the Savoy on
Monday evening where the table de-

was one of the features of their

acted as host on this occasion. He
also rendered them an after theatre
