EIGHD01 IEH AS RAILROADERS SHOW ROCK ISLAND PEOPLE HOW TO RUN A ROAD RICHMOND'S RAILROAD TRIO Miller, Downing, Crockett, Conduct New Men Over Van's System. The Terre Haute Tribune of yesterday tellft of the visit of Rock Island people to the Vandalia to see how things were run : General Superintendent Slifer of the Rock Island system, and Superintendent Meleher of the Illinois division of the system, arrived in the city last nitrht in a private car, and today with Superintendent Downing of the Vandalia, inspected the Van's terminal facilities here, the east yards, and other portions of the Vandalia in this vicinity in view of jretti:iir information regarding the working of the Vandalia at this point. The party left the Union Station at 9 o'clock in a special car to visit the yards where the "hump" was seen in operation. The regular force of seven men at the ' 1 hump" was increased to ten, and for some time the party of officials watched the members of the e rew ride heavy cars down the bi' slope, and switch them. The visiting1 officials were loud in in their praise of the manner in which it is operated, and also praised the terminal facilities of the Vandalia at this point. The visit is evidently the result of the appointment of Harry I. Miller as general managerfof the Rock Island system and of J. O. Crockett as assistant general manager, as these two men are familiar with the operations of the Vandalia here, and hence decided to have their officials see how the road is located in Terre Haute and vicinity, which also goes to show that the road is in excellent condition here. The visit may also have the effect of the Rock Island copying after the Vandalia in several departments. The four repair tracks of the Vandalia located at thirteenth street are to be taken up soon, and placed in the east yards where all the repair work will be done hereafter. This move is made so that the Vandalia will' have more room at Thirteenth street. ENDEAVOR Covention to Meet in Tort ' Wayre. Muncie, Ind., Jan. 25.

Alfred Clarkson Underhill left the city last Thursday with a bi'ass band accompaniment, and, on the same day. a neighbor of his with whom he seemed quite familiar, left in the same way on the same day. The rumor fast spread about the city that the pair had eloped, and it soon becamJ neighborhood gossip. Mrs. Underhill was seen this morning by a Palladium representative and asked her opinion concerning the reports. She stated she had no knowledge of Mr. Underhill 's going away with the Fawcet woman until Friday, and the news surprised her very much, as Mr. Underhill had told her he was going to St. Louis to buy stock, as has been his custom for several years. Shortly .after receiving the news of her husband's elopement with the Fawcet woman Underbill called her up over the long distance 'phone and told her he was in Cincinnati. She told him of the rumor afloat in the neighborhood and he vigorously denied it, saying he had not seen the Fawcet woman. Later she received a postal card from her husband, saying he was in Cincinnati at C. II. Daters & Co.'e commission firm at the stock yards. He also stated he had been with twe Richmond people, one a lady whom he said was Mrs. Ashner, formerly a neighbor of theirs, "and the other was Mr. Medsker. He also stated he was going on to St. Louis to attend to business. A letter was received today from Mrs. Fawcet stating she was in Dayton, Ohio, working in a restaurant. She stated the reason she left her husband he was cruel to her. The last heard 'from Underhill he was on his way to Lexington. Ky. Further than this nothing is known of the affair.

THE LAURELS State That Beats Indiana Farm Display at World's Fair Must A in the Honor. Indianapolis, Jan. 25. "If any other state has a better agricultural display than Indiana at the exposition it will be simply because the state has larger and better agricultural resources than we have." This was the statement made by Chairman W. W. Stevens of the agricultural committee of the Indiana world's fair commission while here 3Testerday. "The fact of the matter is that our county agents who have charge of the work of collecting the farm exhibits are an excellent class of men and they have' been doing fine work in the way of arranging for exhibits. The displays of grasses, grains and other farm products which they have will excel anything of the kind that ever was gathered from Indiana. "There is not a county that has fallen down in this work. The farmers, too, as the reports show, are taking an active interest in the subject of making exhibits. Wherever a farmer has something which he thinks is worth sending to tlie exposition he has offered it to the agents and they have reported it to me. "This display of farm products will be entirely independent of the special corn show of which Clore & Overstreet have charge. It aims simply to display the resources of our farms. The agents have done very well and if any other state carries off the palm it will be because it has better products than has Indiana and not because the collectors have done better or more faithful work. I can not conceive bow this will come to pass, though, and I believe the Indiana farmer will win fame and prizes for themselves wherever any are offered." PAY" OF SCHOOL TEACHERS. State Superintendent of Public Instruction F. A. Cotton has compiled figures showing that Indiana paid $41,183.29 a day to school teachers during the school year ending July 31, 1903. With 16,041 teachers in the state, the average day's wage of each teacher was $2.50. In the country schools the male teachers outnumber the female, while in the city and town schools the females arc the most numerous. Indianapolis Journal.
