RE-0PENS LIBRARY
WITH new SYSTEM
Mrs. Bernhard Says the
Changes Will Allow More
Ready Use of Books.

The Morrisson-Reeves library open
ed again today in all its departments.
The library has been closed since Au-
gust % on account of improvements
designed for further extension OF its
service to the public. These changes
include alterations in the lobby of the
second floor at the delivery desk, so
that the public may have reader &C
cess directly to the books.
Instead of the counter surmounted
gby an iron grill through which books
were returned, the patrons will find
an entrance to the stocks. During the
hours the attendants in the circulating
department are on duty the gate will
be left open so that patrons of the H.
brary may, if they choose. consult the
books on the shelves directly. AL
though this is by no means new fea
ture with the library, the structure OF
the building itself has made it some
thing Of a problem how best to accom-
plish the free circulation Of the stocks.
while at the same time securing rapid
and efficient delivery of books to those
patrons who knew, without consulta-
ton, exactly what books they wanted.
This has now been solved, it is hoped,
by the improvements made during the
last two weeks.
Mrs. Bernhard said: "The most
immediate effect which is to be look
ed for as the result of the change is
the closer contact between the public
and the library staff. and the discov-
cry on the part of the public of the
splendid resources of the library in
lines other than fiction. If this alone
= b~
ment, even though the number of
books used does not exceed the al
ready steady ratio of increase which
has marked the growth of the library
while it has been under my personal
observation"
Patrons of the library who desire
may now walk directly through the
entrance while the gate is open, dur
ing the time the circulating depart
ment is in operation and pick out the
number of books to which they are
entitled and hand them to the attend
ant at the delivery desk to be issued
in their name.
Although markers are already ir
place showing the different classified
tons of books under subjects, it prob
ably will be easier for the readers t.
call for assistance from the attend
ants, so that they may lose as little
time as possible.
The library has little fear that book!
will be misplaced or otherwise lost a
soon as the public realizes that tn,
books should be put back in the exac
place on the shelves from which the,
were removed SO that they may b,
found readily by the next conner an,
the library attendants themselves.

CLUB WILL ATTEND
STAET FEDERATION
Directors to Answer Cues
tons on Methods Followed
by Commercial Body.

A number of Richmond Commercial
club members will attend the meet
ing Of the Federation of Commercial
Clubs of Indiana at Terre Haute, Oc-
tober IA and Is.
The state federation is an organiza-
ton which assists the individual
commercial club in bringing to the
front matters of state interest or in
introducing into other cities good work
which has been beneficial when tried
in other places.
Because of the interest the Rich
mOnd Commercial club has taken in
matters of state wide benefit and the
work it has accomplished in Rich
mond, a large delegation probably will
attend the meeting to answer person
ally many inquiries which have come
here from commercial clubs and cham
bers of commerce of the leading cities
of the state.
Inc matter was brought up at the
meeting of the board of directors last
night. The directors, each of whom
are chairmen of committees, were
urged to influence the men with whom
they are most associated to attend the
meeting.

An all-around case of mistaken fden-

Nelson Weatherly met Howard Bur-
CESS Saturday night at the corner of
North Eighth and E streets and ac-
cused him of yanking a hat off his
head some time before. Howard de-
MED the charge, whereupon Nelson
smote him and went to the pavement
with him. Burgess yelled that he was
being murdered and Miller then pull
ed the younger Weatherly off him.
At that time Saunders happened
along and gave aid to the stricken
Burgess, who accused his benefactor
of having assaulted him. Miller de-
MED this assertion in behalf of Saun-
ders and at that time George Wealth
erly took a hand in the dispute. While
he was challenging the two colored
men to mortal combat Nelson Wealth
erly hurled himself upon Saunders
and tore his collar and shirt. The four
men then adjourned to have battle
royal near the railroad tracks.

FOX UPHOLDS
'COUNTrS ACTS
OVER SUBSIDY
Purtelle, Who Fails to APP
pear in Court, Loses Sec
ond Round of Traction
Line Election.

Thu citizens Of Wayne and Boston
townships won the first victory in the
case of the mandamus proceedings o.
the Richmond Hamilton Traction com
nany against the county commission
ers in circuit court today.
Judge Fox sustained demurrers filed
by County Attorney Hoelscher
AGAINST the complaints of the plaintiff
alleging the facts set forth in the com
niajnts are being insufficient for writ
Of mandamus.
The attorneys for Eugene B. Pur
te1le and others, who constitute the or
6cers and directors Of the traction
romnany. did not appear against the
demurrer. and Judge Fox sustained
the county in the first step 10 deiay
as long as possible any court action
which may be unfavorable TO the clli
zens of the two townships.
It ia believed by county officers
that should the election be forced to
determine whether 100000 Of Wayne
townships money and $4,000 OF Bos
ton townships money be given to the
traction company, it would result IN
defeat for the company. In order
however. not to take chances and tc
save the expenses of an election, the
fight will be kept up in court.
While the subsidy would obtain
strong favorable vote in South Rich
mond and in the southern part OF the
township, 1t is believed that those not
so vitality interested would vote
against the 100000 gift in order tc
prevent additional tax increase which
would be required if the subsidy were
given,

will be in honor OF his departed sis
ter.
The children of DR.. and Mrs. w.
F. Coleman have notified the hospi-

furnish a room in the hospital in
honor of their parents. The chill
dren are Mrs. Dr. w. R. Toye, of De-
corah; Frank Coleman, Fairfield,
Neb.. Mrs. Alta Christensen, Clarin-
da, Iowa; Herbert H. Coleman, New
ark, n. j., and DR.. Lou Coleman,
Milwaukee. This is a generous and
kind act on the part of the children
DR.. Coleman will be remembered as
one of Decorahs prominent and most
able physicians for years, and in his
practice and life here was beloved
by many. The children are to be
congratulated in thus remembering
their parents in this way, and have
the thanks of all.

Look Up His Record.

A lot of democrats are putting up
a great cry this year about the raise
in the taxes of the state. They say
that Governor Clark is to blame and
that if Hamilton is elected the taxes
will be reduced and that the people
will simply have to sit still, not
''rock the boat and see the taxes
go down. Have these democrats
looked up the record of Hamilton
as a member of the board OF control
fom April 2, 1906, to October l.,
1909, when the expenditures were
greater each year than they have
been the last. Do these democrats
who are bowling so loudly know that
a great majority of the present dem
ocratic members of the house and
senate voted to buy those addition
al capitol grounds, about which Mr..
Hamilton and his followers 'holler'
so loudly? Do. they know that our
own c. w. Miller voted to buy those
grounds, as did a great many OF his
democratic colleagues? If they do
they are very mum on the ques-
tion. The democrats favorite ar
gument seems to be just howl
about what has been done, but don't
point to anything they have ever
done when in Office. Governor Clarke
has never had as much to do with
the raising of taxes as has Hamilton
as a member of the board of con-
troll, or as has c. w. Miller as a
member of the state legislature, yet
each is conducting a campaign OF
accusation, insinuation and sugges-
tion that the republican party and
It's officers are to blame for all the
shortcomings of the state admins
tration. Did these learned gentle
men ever hear about that glass
house and the throwing of stones
