bURkHARDT'S ACE
TAKES ALLEY JOB
ON IDENTICAL BIDS

Three we'll known contractors, Dan
Burkhardt, W. r. Payne and George
Snyder, each grinning broadly and
one carrying a new deck OF cards, en-
tered the office of the board of public
works today.
1--WE are going to draw lots to see
which one of us gets that alley con-
tract" remarked Burkhardt
Each one had submitted a bid OF
121A cents per square foot for the plac-
ing of a concrete roadway in the alley
between North Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth streets, from B to c streets.
The board members offered no objec-
ton to the proposed plan for settling
the question so the cards were tossed
upon the table
High card wins and ace is high,'
ruled Clerk Bescher
Snyder drew a ten spot and looked
pleased until Payne drew a jack.
Bnurkhardt then plucked an ace from
the deck and received the contract.

DOGS BRAIN SHOWS
EVIDENCE OF RABIES

The state meteorological department
has reported that there was evidence
of rabies in the brain Of dog sent
in for examination by DR.. Lou Glen,
veterinarian, u North Eighth street,
Richmond.
The dog, whose brain was examined
by the state psychologists, was killed
a few days ago after it had attacked
and bitten the young son of Elmer
Hawkins, 221 North Sixth street. The
child will now be sent to the Pasteur
institute at Indianapolis for treat
ment.
It is not known whether the animal
attacked any other persons but it is
probable it bit number of dogs,
which gives rise to a fear of another
epidemic of rabies among dogs in this
locality. Less than eight weeks ago a
six-months quarantine against dogs,
as result of rabies epidemic, was
called off by DR.. S. G. Smelser, city
health officer.

PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
At RECENT SESSION

Wayne county Democrats was held
Saturday afternoon in the office of
the county chairman, Walter O. Lewis.
Preliminary plans for the fall cam
paign were laid. and precinct commit
teemen planned for strong co-opera-
tive work.
1t was decided that campaign head
quarters would be opened in some good
loction about the middle of August.
Judge Morris, indianapolis, candi-
date for judge of the supreme court,
was present and gave short address.
He said that the prosperous condition
of the people and the Industries of
the country which have existed dur
ing the Wilson administration would
make the defeat of the Democratic
party impossible.

DROUGHT RECALLS
SUMMER OF 1901

The resemblance of the present hot
wave to the geat hot wave and drought
of 1901 has been noted by w. E.
Moore The conditions which prevail
now are almost identical with those
at that time. In that drought, which
lasted through August and September,
the temperature at Richmond reached
JOG degrees on July %.
The hot wave remains unbroken
east of the Rocky Mountains, Mr.
Moore stated. In the far north west
cooler weather prevails, but no re-
lief is in sight for the Mississippi val
ley
It is impossible to state whether
the drought of 1901 will be duplicated,
said Mr. Moore. Although conditions
at the present time are so similar to
that drought, relief might come at
any time

IDENTIFY SIGNATURE
OF MAN DEAD ONLY
FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS

A peculiar situation arose in the
circuit court Saturday when the will
of Thomas Pickens came up for con.
sideration
Although Mr. Pickens has been dead
only little over a month, he made
his will about twenty-five years ago
Since that time the witnesses have
died. 1t was therefore necessary to
find men who could identify the sig
natures of Mr. Pickens and one of the
witnesses. William Seeker, cashier of
the Second National Bank, identified
Mr. Picken's signature and Fred
Brown, a contractor, identified the
signature of one Of the witnesses,
James Dillenbanck.
