A new plan for raising money for church work is being exploited ail around us and the hint may be useful for some society here.

Some buy some small article, sell it at a profit and buy and sell again. At the end of a month a meeting is held and a settlement is made. A small prize is given the one who has been the most successful. One sunday school class at Connersville this week had made over $50 in three weeks on thirty dimes thus distributed,andall were pleased because it was a business transaction,

devoid of the begging which is distasteful to many. Storm In Kansas. Kansas City, Kan., Dec. 13. The southwest is experiencing- the first general storm this winter. The rain turned to sleet, but the rain has been of much value to farmers, providing water for stock.

The city stone crusher was started today with a full force of men, for the first time for many weeks. There is a good big supply of stone there and the machine will be kpt busy for several weeks at least.

As an indication of business it might be noted that every vacant room on Main street has been rented for the next ten da-s by church and other societies who will give holiday sales. There is not a room to be had in the entire city, for any purpose.

The men going to work at the F. & N. lawn mower works this mornng early were horrified to find s woman who was apparently dead stretched on some boxes in the allev o the rear of the works Officer McNalley was called at-d the woman was found to not be dead, but worse for woman she was drunk aS a lord. j.. s - is a woman who was once rich but formed tlui drink habit, lost her standing and was fired by her bus band and is now as much of a hobo s any man tramp ever seen here dirtyjfoul mouthed. ragged,penniless, and generally drunk or trying to be come so. She usually has wnissy in a battle, as the saloon men don't want her in their places and will not sell her over the bar; and usually the liquor is of the worst description ind it is a wonder it has not killed her long ago. The last time she was here the officer got her a pass to Greenville and she walked back. This time he sent her to Dayton in hopes that it would be too far for her to get back. She has been all over this country in this way, from Mew York to 'Frisco, and her condition was such this time that she has prob ably paid Richmond her last visit, The officers hope so, at all events Her home when she had one was Johnstown, the scene of the flood. Closing of Forty Hours. The beautiful Catholic devotion of the forty hours closed last night at St. Mary's church with considerable pomp. After the litany of the Blessed Virgin was recited the choir rendered Veni Creator. After which the Rev. J. F. Stanton delivered a sermon on "The Real Presence. " It was a treat to the large concourse of people present as the discourse was on a subject so near the hearts of the people and especially so fitting to the occasion. He reviewed the historv of the birth, life, death and resurrection of Christ, the institution of the Real Presence, in such a clear, concise manner that one imagined himself living at the time when Christ walked among men. It was a historical sermon beautifully illustrated with mind pictures. After the sermon the procession w th the Blessed Sacrament took place about the church, the small girls in white strewing flowers and the small boys carrying candles, while the choir chanted "Pangua Lingua." The services closed with the chanting of the litany of the saints by the priests and choir and with benediction. Polo. The game of polo last evening was a rather rough one. The Muncie people have a new half-back who seems to want to put everybody else out of the game and off the floor. As the other players naturally want to stay and see the thing out, there is trouble. This much-in-evidence youD" man was finally taken care of properly and the game ended in a score of 3 to 1 lor Muncie. The game was interesting. -"&, -

Ills., Dec. 13 Otto CCrocker, aged 30, ticket agent of the Illinois Central and Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern at Sandoval, killed himself last night. Coming Here. The well known Brook Lepg is about to become a citizen of this county. He has been living in Rush countv for many years, especially while in the race horse business His wife was born and raised in this county, and 6ince they have gotten well enough fixed in this world's goods to retire they desire to return to old friends to spend their last days. So they have sold their Rush c unty farm and bought between this city and Cambridge and will scon move there. Mr. Legg was here today and closed the trade. The Traction Situation at Cambridge. Attorney Mason of Cambridge City was in town yesterday and gave some information with regard to the traction line situation there. The franchise west of town is owned by the Greenfield line; tbe franchise this side is owned by the Richmond company. The franchise in the city is own d bv Chipman, and Mr. Mason says he does not think Chipman intends to do anything, but that he really represented the Panhandle who naturally would not care much about seeing a traction line a success in that direction. Chipman 's time to begin work was up in August. He came to town with a couple of laborers and put down a few ties on his right of way and now holds on to that claiming that he has begun worir according to contract and has a year to complete it in. Others contend that his contract is violated and terminated. That Discrepancy. The list which we published yesterday of the claimants for extra pay on tbe citv's uav roll attracted a great deal of. attention. A number of the men called at the city building this morning expecting to draw the money, not nnderstanding that action of council is still necessary and that will not come until next Monday evening s session. An apparent discrepancy in the figures has oeen noticed by many; that is, the

number of hours at 5 cent per hour would amount to more monev than appears in the footings. The reason of that is all the men are not entitled to 5 cents per hi.ur. There were a

rew wno are entitled to but one cent an nour extra, and others whose extra allowance is but two and one haf cents per hour. Philippine Tariff Bill. Washington. D. C, Dec. 13. In the house Payne presented the report of tbe oommittex on ways and means offering the Philippine tariff bill.

Mr. Grave is now state agent in that state for one f the big life insurance companies. Recently in getting off a train be was thrown, and sprained his leg so badly that he is confined to his room.

JOHNDIEHL Convicted of Complicity in Murder of Mary Farwig Granted New Trial By Supreme Court.

Yesterday in the state supreme court the judgment convicting John Diehl, the Anderson manufacturer, of complicity in causing the death of Mary Farwig of this city, and sentencing him to imprisonment for cot more than fourteen years, was reversed by the supreme court. The court ordered a new trial and directed the return of Diehl to Henry county from Michigan City where he has been imprisoned in the penitentiary for six months. In reviewing the case the supreme court held that: Where the nurse who was in at tendance on defendant's alleged victim at the time that defendant testified to certain thi ngs that were said by him and such alleged victim when they met. and that dendant a&keJ her to retire and what she heard each of them say after she had left the room at defendant's request, it was error to refuse defendent privilege of relating the rest of the conversation which he savs took place after the nurse left. If offered evidence is relevant and admissible for one purpose, but not generally, the court must permit to be introduced and then should advise and instruct the jury of such purpose and confine them in its application to that particular purpose. Where one of the parties present at the time that defendant was said by some of the state's witnesses to have represented himself to be the husband of his alleged victim declared himself unable to remember even the substance of what defendant said at that time it was error to permit him to give his "understanding" of the relation between the two as gathered from the conversation on that occasion. Revenge is Sweet. About three years ago three men came here and got up a running match. They bad with them ao old fellow who looked as if he h-d one leg in the grave and couldn't run even if hehad tr), t i;nj rgni manfwent away f rm IhfiTocur-w-. feS.ifVthe.laUex.was tied to a posv, There has always . fjcett a.HttRWOft that the local man got a slice out of the $100, and the matter has always been a sore spot with thos-e interested. At Brookville this week three men named King, Johns and Hahn were found guilty of bunco foot racing and will go to the pen for two to fourteen years unless a new trial is granted or the case reversed by the supreme court. An Illinois man claims they beat him out of $l, 700 that way. Grace Porterfleld.
