GREATEST OF ALL

MOTOR

RUNS

WILL BE THAT TO ST. LOUISONE ROUTE IS VIA RICHMOND. PEOPLE ALONG ROUTE Are Alarmed by' Demand for Food, Etc. Richmond Autos Will . Join Here. On August 9 the world's fair at St. Louis will have to be satisfied with second honors, for on that date mo torists from almost everywhere will pour into the Mound City upon the completion of the first big automobile tour ever held in America. And tile size and character of the pageant will be such that even the Louisiana Purchase exhibition can not hope to attract more attention in opposition. The big run will be conducted under the patronage and direction of the American Automobile Association There are two routes for the Eastern motorists, one via Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago, and the other via Pittsburg, Columbus, Richmond and Indianapolis. The latter route will probably be taken by more motorists on account of the shortness of it cmpared with the northern route. The pilgrimage of autoists to St. Louis the coming summer is viewed with almost as much alarm by residents along the route as if the crusaders of Peter the Hermit or Coxey's army were coming. As the stream of vehicles begins to unite, west of Buffalo., the demand for food, gasoline, drink and sleeping quarters will reach tremendous proportions. All sorts of suggestions are being made to obviate the difficulties. One of the most practical is that trains of dining, lubricating and sleep ing cars shall be run, stopping at fixed points, along the way, for the sole accommodation of those who scorn to confine their wanderings to the beaten paths mapped out for humanity by the first, second and third rails. Richmond will in all probability have to take care of this army of automobilists over one night but it has ample room and accommodations for both drivers and cars. Henley's new garage is expected to be completed by the time of the run and Wilke will -probably build a machine shop on south sixth street. The Automobile j Club will have a goodly number of its members join the army of motorists nt this point and Richmond will be well represented in the run. New members of the club are being received every day and the number of cars in Richmond is rapidly increasing. And the trail of the serpent that snakeology has ever insisted was "over all' won't be a marker to the scatter of confetti and streamers that the benzine buggy folk are buying by the bale as they would hay. It will be worse for the natives to clear up than the average front stoop on the 5th of July. And think of those steps drawn out 1,500 miles long and muddy, too. Considering the amount of gasoline to be used it is likely that John D. Rockefeller will join President Roosevelt in welcoming the tourists to the Mound City, where the mound will The the only thing not high the coming summer. xow Job had his troubles, but every sore he possessed wasn't of a different kind. Every state and about half the cities, towns, and hamlts to be traversed have an auto law, and no two M i 1 . are aiiKe as 10 speed ana penalty. Some of the older . autoists do not care so much about these ordinances, because if they should be "pinched" for violation in a quarter of the places, the remainder of their days would not be half long enongh for them to serve out their sentences. To drivers in pin feathers, however. .such prospects are appalling. Already Vne country constables ahWthe rW

BACCALAUREATE"-

BY DR. LYONS OF THIS CITY AT THE DUBLIN U. B. CHURCH SUNDAY. WERE EIGHT-GRADUATES Church Beautifully Decorated for the Occasion Assisted by Other Members. A very fine audience was present Sunday afternoon at the East Main Street U. B. church to listen to the able and highly interesting baccalaureate address by Dr. Lyons of Richmond, and we are certainly safe in saying that the crowded house was highly entertained on this occasion. The church was most beautifully arranged with potted plants and flowers. The music by the male quartette of Rev. Geo. E. and William Floyd, Dr. McKee and Prof. Mills was of a high standard, especially in the closing piece, the words of which are "When the Mists Have Cleared Away," set to one of the most captivating pieces of music. Bishop Floyd and Rev. James Swanders of the Friends' church assisted in the exercises. No former like occasion ever excited the interest as did that of unday afternoon. The eight graduates sat in the immediate front of the speaker and certainly could not but feast most sumptuously on what was said in the able address. The following are the names of the graduates: May Horner, Mayme Woodard, Lucy Butler, Azalia Woodworth, Julia Staut, Lambert Huddleston, Eddie Henley, Delhert Smith.

LEPROSY CAN'

BE C1ED PHYSICIAN BELIEVES HE HAS CERTAIN ANTIDOTE. SEA GRASS THE REMEDY Medicine "Prepared from Its Bark Makes Well Several Persons Suffering From Disease. Havana, April 18. Dr. Mathias T que a Cuban physician, who has long devoted himself to the study of leprosy among the sufferers from this terrible malady in Colombia and the Isthmus of Panama, as well as in the leper hospital of Havana, announces the discovery of a remedy for the disease, which in numerous cases has been tested and never failed to bring relief, and in a number of instances effect a complete cure. The medium of cure is prepared from the bark and sap of the mangle rojo? or sea grape, which grows along the northern coast of Pinar del Rio province, west of Bahai Honda.

STREET CAR CO

TO HOYE TRACKS ON SOUTH SEVENTH STREET OR THE CITY WILL DO THE WORK. THE MAYOR TALKS Out in Meeting and Says Corporations Must Live up to Franchise. The Richmond Street and Iniei urban Railway Company were on the carpet in the council chamber last night.' Since the car barns were removed from south seventh street to the west side, a sour of track vas left on the street. The company has been notified to remove the same and have failed to do so. Last night at council meeting Mr. Norris made a motion that the: company be .igain notified to remove the track inside of ten days and if they failed to do so the city would Jo ihe work and charge the same to the company. While speaking of this matter we want to commend the remarks of Mayor Zimmerman last night about making corporations come to time or annul their franchises. He said when a corporation tears up a street it should be immediately put in proper condition by the company and they should not wait to be notified by the city to do so. Their franchises ire so constructed and failure to carry out the provisions of the franchises is sufficient grounds for annullmcnt. Considerable complaint ' was made about streets, and alleys being in bad condition from carelessness of corporations. "BILLY" MIA1S Purdue Wreck Victim Now Able to Walk Again. "Billy" McManus who has been confined in the Deaconess Hospital, Indianapolis, since his injury in the wreck of the Purdue special, October 31, was a happy young man yester day. For the first time since the accident he walked about a little, but his limbs lacked the strength they had in the days when he bucked the line and starred as an athlete . The physicians at the Deaconess hospital think that McManus will be able to leave the hospital in two or three weeks. Several times it has been thought that he could. soon be released, but the crushed condition of the bones of his legs has caused unforseen trouble each time, necessitating a delay. DEAD LOCKPROBABLE.
