OLD YEAR ITS ITS BUSINESS I RICHMOND MERCHANTS WELL PLEASED WITH THE YEAR'S RESULTS ALL LINES PROSPEROUS Holiday Trade Splendid and Everything Looks Bright for 1904. Our merchants have closed their books for the year 1903, and on the credit side of the ledger is found a good balance. The year has been a singularly prosperous one and in many respects remarkable. There never was a year within the memory of our oldest inhabitants when farmors were paid such high prices for their products. Wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, all brought good prices the year around. Hay also sold well. Cattle and hogs brought very fair prices. Our merchants all report a prosperous year. Dry goods men say they are perfectly satisfied with their year's business and feel very grateful to the generous citizens of Richmond for most liberal patronage. Shoe men report one of the best year's trade in a long time. Manufactories. The manufacturing establishments of this city have been especially pros perous during the past year and labor has been well employed and at good wages. The closing year found all of them ready to start the year with good prospects. County Officers. That our con nty officials have been economical in the discharge of their duties is evidenced bv the fact that nearly all of them had money to turn back, the county treasurer having returned $300. This speaks well for our county officials. Two Patients to be Sent to Easthavan. asylum at Dayton, O. The home of Magill is now at Union City. He -is daft on religion and has always wanted a license to preach. About three years ago Magill became insane while living in this city and Jess Smith, his nephew, went to his home and cared for him. After the committal of . Magill to the asylum Smith became insane and was sent to Easthaven, at Richmond. With Magill he was pronounced cured after a few months' treatment and was released. Both returned to this city. Magill later moved to Union City'and a few months ago Smith was committal again t the asylum and now comes the announcement that Magill has. been returned to the asylum. John A. Sherman, aged eighteen, and a member of a prominent Wayne township family, was yesterday adjudged insane and will be committed to the asylum at Richmond.

Seven Employes of the Iroquois Theatre, Chicago Are Held Chicago, Jan. 1. A sensational feature of the Iroquois theater disaster developed last night, when seven employees of the playhouse were arrested on orders issued by Chief of Police, O'Neill. They are charged with being accessory to manslaughter that is, they are held for causing the denth of the 551 persons who perished in the theater Wednesday. They v.-ill be held pending the verdict of the coroner's jury. The men arrested are: . 1 WILLIAM CARLTON, stage-manager. EDWARD CUMMIN GS. stage carpenter. FRANK J. ANDREW. R. M. CUMMINGS. E. E. ENGLE. THOMAS M 'QUEEN. : S. J. MAZONI. .i The eoronr's jury began its investigation of the catastrophe j'esterday. The jurors visited the theater last evening, and found much to criticise. . It is possible the total number of deaths may reach 575, as several persons now in the hospital are expected , to die. A newspaper estimate gives the total number of casualties the known dead, the missing and the injured as 1,000. I

HELP. CARRIER! Rules That Will Aid the Rural Mail Carrier. The life of a rural mail carrier is not one of pleasant dreams. He has many things to contend with that tend to make his life one of misery, that his duty may be lightened the following rules have been compiled: Don't ask your carrier to wait while you address a letter or write a postal card. When you do you ask him to disobey the law. Don't have your wagon or 4other vehicle stand by the mail box so that the carrier is compelled to 'get out to place your mail in the box. Don't pile lumber, gas pipe, ladders or other long articles across the fences so the ends stick out past the mail box. Don't put your mail box in an ob structed place so that the carrier must drive around across ditches, against fences and into mud holes to get to it. Don't drive up to your neighbor's mail box and tie your horse, so the carrier cannot get into the box. Don't have the flag up when there is no mail to take -out. Don't put your mail in the box without raising the flag. If the carrier has no mail for you he is not expected to go to the box unless there is mail to get out. Don't drop loose money into the box. The law says you must v.-rap it up. If you put a letter and pennies in the box, wrap them together, so the carrier does not have to pull off his mittens and fish around in the box ror tnem. borne real cold morning drop five or six pennies in the box, stay out until your fingers get real cold, then go to the box and fish for the pennies yourself, and see how your carrier fares, but remember, he can not go in and warm when his hands get cold. He must be patient and piek pennies out of the boxes all day, while his patrons sit by their stoves and feel thankful that thev pre not rural carriers. I0II0ND BOY Lost His Life in the Iroquois Fire. Among the list of dead in connec tion with the awtuJ calamity that be fell V the Iroquois theater, Chicago, the name of Willis W. Cooper appears. - Mr. Cooper was born in this city a in spent his early boyhood here. NEW YEAR'S CLOSING. New: Year's eve is not observed in this city like it is elsewhere. We usually close the old year in a very7 modest way. There is no outburst or demonstration of a public nature. Lost midnight the west side saw mill blew its whistle at the ushering in of the new year, which was the onry outvi'.id display. There were a great many watch meetings and celebrations of a private nature at the churches and in the homes. Police court had little business this morning, only one druu.: b . l:ig reported. .

To All Whom It May Concern: For the information of strangers, I feel led to say that God called me from a successful practice in the medical profession; to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in 189(5. The voice came to me in an unmistakable manner, and I could not ignore or resist it. It was the voice of Christ. Cinist called me and commanded me to preach His Gospel to every creature possible and tell His purpose in establishing and maintaining a kingdom in the hearts of the people here upon earth; to invite the unsaved and the believer who never recognized that there is a kingdom, to enter in and be saved, that they may be entitled to the inheritance, privileges and blessings which He purchased with His own precious blcod when He was crucified on Calvary, and to make known that His name, and faith in His name, has the same power here upon earth now as He had when he was here in the body. -Whenever I have been lead by His Holy Spirit to call His name over deserving people and lay hands upon them, for their healing, and com manded in His name, the desired re sult has been secured. JTe ' . provided also, that evil spii ! be cast out; that epileptic- and those bound by the spiri... .Icohol, morphine, cocaine, nicotine and other narcotics, may be delivered; also those who have asthma, hay fever, paralysis, insomnia, nervousness, neuralgia and other diseases, caused by spirits of infirmity, shall be delivered and healed.

LECTURE DELIVERED AT ST. LOUIS TO SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATIONS BY DR. RUTHERFORD Of Montreal, Canada, on Radium and Radio Activity. Correspondence Palladium : St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 30. Tomorrow the Chemical Society in the forenoon visits the Union Stock vards, by special invitation. In the afternoon tlie Scientists visit the fair grounds and will be banqueted by the exposition officials and shown over the grounds. I am taking it all in with great profit. This evening in the Auditorium of Central high school Dr. E. Rutherford of McGill University, Montreal, Canada, gave a most remarkable lecture on Radium. Many things were shown and said which astonished the whole audience, consisting of three thousand scientific men and women. Dr. Rutherford is authority on radio-activity and much importance was put upon what he said. He first gave a brief account of the discoveiw of radium which was made by Madame Curie of France. The speaker had with him thirtv mil ligrams of the precious metal, which was shown to emit both light and heat. By means of an instrument called the spinthoriseope, one may actually see the effect of the emanations from this metal, which consist in a constant going off of its atoms. Th?se emanations are know nto undergo at least four changes before resulting in their-final products. The changes consist in what is called the explosion of the atoms. It has been demonstrated that pollnium and helium results from these changes. Radiographs may be produced .by the radiations from this metal but they are not so powerful in this respect as the Roentgen Rays. Radium not only gives off light but also heat, and from careful experiments it is estimated that a pound of radium, if there was so much in the world, would emit enough heat to produce, ten thousand horse power for one year. .f1'5!! The speaker referred to the probable use of of radium in surgery but at present nothing in that regard has been satisfactorily established. One of the most beautiful things about a new discovery is that it explains more clearly long existing phenomena. ; It has long been an eecepted theory that the heat of the sun is kept up by its constant contraction and it has been estimated by Lord Kelvin that if this contraction goes on at the present rate w.e will continue to receive light and heat from the sun for sixty million .years. Those versed in the power of radium, however, say that Ave need no longer accept the theor of Kelvin for if three parts to every ten million of the sun's substance were radium the light and heat which we now receive from it would be easily accounted for. As to the presence of this amount of radium in the sun there can be but little doubt since the properties and emanations, products of the metal arei being understood. W. A. Fiske. RUBAL DELIVERY Route 1 Begins at Richmond and Ends With Route 24Thesolid rural free delivery service will go into effect in Wavne countv on January 1 at which time a number of new routes will start.
