II If FAIRBANKS IS MADE VICE PRESIDENT AT THE ; 1 CONVENTION. WHAT 1$ THE MATTER ' WITH WATSON Taking Senator Fairbanks Place A Boom From the Rushville Republican. The Rushville Republican of yes terday suggests that if Senator Fairbanks is made Vice President Rush county and the Sixth district would enthusiastically support Mr. Watson for the place. Following is the account : At Indianapolis Tuesday and Wednesday, Republicans from every Congressional district in Indiana pursued "Our Jim" wherever he chanced to be, "just to shake hands Avith him." It was with much difficulty that Chairman Goodrich and other personal friends of Watson prevented a plan, by several county chairmen to spring the man of the hour for Governor, and vote their county for him, and many Republicans, some living in districts where they are likely to have a candidate for United States Senator themselves, in case Senator Fairbanks should be nominated for vice President, were very active in proclaiming to the people their preference for Mr. Watson for the place. While Mr. Watson has never indicated to any one a desire to go to the Senate, it is evident from his brilliant record in Congress that he would be a power in the Senate, and if Senator Fairbanks should go on the ticket with President Roosevelt, Rush county and the sixth distinct will no doubt enthusiastically support Mr. Watson for the place, and, encouraged by the expressions of preference for Mr. Watson now being heard all over the state, it seems as though the place might easily be secured for him. "Senator Watson" would sound alright and Senators Beveridge and Watson would ably represent one of the greatest states of the Union. The citizens of Rush county feel the great honor that our distinguished citizen han won for himself and for his county, and are grateful and wish for the young Congressman much greater things. His Case Against the Sheriff of Cass County to Come Up May 13. The famous case of Paymaster Snee, of the Panhandle, vs. Lewis j Beckley, sheriff of Cass county, a suit to recover money taken from the paymaster upon instructions from the attorneys for two former employes of the company who had secured judgment, will be tried in the United States district court on May 13. Today the case was set down for hear ing before a jury Lairv vMalioiiey and Nelson, Myers & Yarlott are appearing for the defendant and Geo. K. Ross, of this city, assisted by other company attorneys, will represent the railroad. This promises to divulge somevery interesting points at law. The question involved is one that has never before been tried in the courts -of this state. It is a question whether or not an official of the county upon a writ of attachment issued to satisfy judgment has a right to levy upon any property of the corporation, whether money or other property.

THE

LECTURE

ON IMP. TO BE DELIVERED AT SOUTH SOUTH EIGHTH STREET FRIENDS' CHURCH BY PROF. R. B. RICHARDSON The Lecture to Be Illustrated by a Fine Set of Lantern ViewsGreat Interest Manifested. To be transported bodily to the land of sunny Greece and gaze upon what is left of the once proud city of Corinth is the prospect before the hearers of Prof. Rufus B. Richardson in his lecture at the Eighth St. Friends' Church on Saturday even ing. This foremost archaeologist of America, on a tour of the larger university centers, will by special arrangement deliver his lecture on Cbrinth in Richmond. Although by an expert, this address will be popular in the truest sense and the general public may be assured that it is not an address for the specialist alone. There is no doubt but what he will be greeted by a large audienee. Corinth is one of the first cities of primitive Greece to emerge from obscurity and became noted for its wealth and excessive luxury before most of the other Greek centers had reached anything - like this stage. When the days of adversity came, it unfortunately persisted in its stubborn and unyielding defiance of con quering Rome and paid the penalty for it by being utterly destroyed, after most of its valuable works of art had been transferred to Rome or perished. However, it works was largely re-built and attained a very considerable prestige later. All that Dr. Richardson has to say will be illustrated by a fine set of lantern views, so that one will for the time being be actually in the presence of these fascinating remains. Bids Adieu to Rome After a Glitter ing Naval Parade. (By Associated Press.) Rome, April 29. Naples is crowded with visitors occasioned by the visit of President Loubet of France.

Smith

I THE , CITY HAS ARRIVED AFTER HIS .500MILE TRIP THROUGH ALASKA. NO SERIOUS EFFECTS Received From the Trip Is the Picj ture of Health His Accounts, i i - " ..... . T of Life in the North. Lynn Smith, of whose five hundred mile journey through Alaska with dog teams and with a mail carrier as his only companion the Palladium mentioned- exclusively some few i weeks ago, arrived this morning to spend a 'day or so with his brother, Arthur L. Smith, of the Second Na tional bank, who resides on north . j thirteenth street. Mr. Smith is looking the picture of health, with a good color, and, although he has no fat to spare, has, from appearances, received no ill effects from his trip and his residence in the Yukon district in the far north. The trip, as we stated before, was made with dog teams, and Mr. Smith's only companioa ju the long, cold trip was the mail carrier, who carries the monthly mails between Rampart City and Valdez, a distance of 500 miles. Mr Smith had intended making the trip riding on the sled part of the way, but, on account of the treacherous nature of the trail, a in the spring the "bottom" is liable to "drop out" of . the trail on accunt - of the thaws, he was compelled to walk nearly the entire distance and a walk of nineteen days' duration will tire even the strongest. Except for the fatigue and weariness no serious ill effects were received by either the traveller or the mail carrier when they arrived at their destination. From Valdez the time was the only thing to be considered and on the homeward trip to Seattle, where he boarded a Northern Pacific train for Chicago and thence to NewCastle, his home. Mr. Smith left this evening for New Castle, where he will attend the wedding of his sister, and, in a fewdays, he wil return for a two weeks' visit with his brother before returning to the far north. His accounts of life and customs in the region "north of '53" are very interesting. PANHANDLE SHOPS CLOSED. The local Panhandle shops were closed yesterday at the noon hour and about three hundred employes are now taking an enforced vacation. The shops will be closed the remainder of the week and on next Monday work will be resumed. Shop officials took this method in order to keep within the appropriation, which is made by the company. Already many shopmen have been laid off and the hours of a day's work have been cut down twice. This is the third change that has been made and now all shopmen are off duty until Monday. It seems that the appropriations are far too small to run the local shops and work of all descriptions is piled up without workmen to make the re pairs. This appropriation does not only effect the Logansport shops, but all Panhandle shops west of Pittsburg. Logansport Reporter. NO OPEN CHURCH MEETING. The regular open church meeting at South Eighth Street Friends' church will not be held tomorrow evening, owing to the lecture by the famous archaeologist Prof. R. B. Richardson, on "Corinth."

PATRICK GOLDEN

His Funeral Largely Attended at St. Mary 's Today. The funeral of Patrick Golden oc curred this morning from St. Mary's Catholic church and was very largely attended, as the deceased was one of this city's best citizens and most highly respected. Solemn requiem high mass was celebrated t with Rev. J. F. Stanton, as celebrant, Rev. J. F. Mattingly as deacon and Rev. M. J. Gorman as sub-deacon. The services were very impressive. A large cortege followed the remains to St. Mary's cemetery where interment took place. r The active pallbearers were Christopher Connor, Daniel Kiser, Anton Stolle, Leo Zeyen, Dan McManus, M. C. Kelley. Honorary pallbearers Dr. J. H. Luken, James F. Griffin, Ulio Stanton, William H. Kelley, James Varley, Sr. THE MORABBE ISAAC CELEBRATING HIS 79TH BIRTH DAY ANNIVERSARY TODAY WELL PRESERVED MAN With a Giant Intellect and a Wonderful Knowledge of History. The Hon. Isaac Jenkinson, one, of the best known citizens of'Rkhmond, and equally as well known over the state, is today with the assistance of his good wife, quietly celebrating his 79th birthday anniversary. Mr. Jenkinson 's life has been one of great activity, his later years being spent in study and research. There is no better posted man in the matter of history in the city, and he is gifted with a wonderful memory, happen ings of fifty years ago recurring to him in as fresh a' light today as they did at the time they occurred. He is known for his accuracy in historical events and many a time he is called upon to decide disputes in questions bearing on history. The Old Testament says: "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be four score years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off and we fly away." Mr. Jenkinson has fulfilled the Biblical allotment and has gone nine years beyond, and yet " their strength" is not "labour and sorrow," with him, for his years bear ligthly upon him and no one would suspect him of being in his eightieth year. He s well preserved in body and mind and his giant intellect remains intact despite the weight of years. The Palladium, with which Mr. Jenkinson was connected for so many years, offers congratulations on this great, event in his life, and its worst wish is that life with its pleasures be spared him many years to come. . To Develop Evangelistic and . Church Extensive Work During Year. The Evangelistic and church extension board of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends met here and took measures to develop this field of work during the year. Superintendent Joseph O. Binford, of Knightstown, will immediately begin to push the work over the entire territory. A determined effort is .to re put forth to add many members to the chwcb.

Allen Jay, of this city was chosen president, Elza W Hiatt, of this city secretary, Cornelius .Small, treasurer and Joseph 3-0. , Binford . of Knightstown, superintendent. ,

PROF. PATTY .

OB RAD10H LIQUID AIR AND WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY ' . ' - INTELLIGENT AUDIENCE Highly Entertained by the Professor An Evening of Scientific Interest. Last night at high school hall Prof. W. B. Patty entertained a large and intelligent audience with demonstrations of radium, liquid air and wireless telegraphy. On account of a delay in the trains Prof. Patty did not arrive until 8:15, having lectured the night before in eastern Pennsylvania. Radium is a wonderful substance, yet for pyroteehnical interest it will not compare with liquid air. It always creates interest to think that the air we breathe may by an in crease in pressure and a lowering of temperature be condensed to a liquid, yet liquid air is only a plaything constituting a means of entertainment and has, and perhaps never will h.ve any practical value. Radium perhaps has some value in surgery, at least such is elaimed for it. Outside of this it is only a substance of interest in the chemical world. Wireless telegraphy has a more practical side since it is now used over long distances as easily as though wires were used. Prof. Patty, because of his late arrival, was not able to set up the apparatus illustrating the use of wireless telegraphy, but he 1 spent some time in a careful and lucid explanation of the entire process. The lecturer regards wireless telegraphy as one of the 'greatest and most useful discoveries of this age. and thinks it will not be long until the telephone will also be used without wires. Prof. Patty then presented the subject of radium which he handled most entertainingly. He first passed through the audience a number of radiographs some of which were made through a foot of wood by 10 milligrams of radium of 1,000,000 activity after an exposure of 45 times. He next passed through the audience small cases containing, samples of radium of 400 activity also thorium, uranium crystals carnolite, kuntzite, willemite and pitch blend. The audience was next delighted by actually seeing the radiations of radium of 300,000 activity in the spinthariscope many of which were passed through the 1 audience. The activity of radium as explained by the sneaker means that it is a certain number of times more active than which is taken as unity. Mr. Patty at this point showed a number of salts which after being subjected to the flame of burning magnesium gave out intense radia tions showing that ' many substances other than radium have the power of illumination. The remainder of the time was spent by Prof. Patty with liquid air, experiments of a very interesting na ture The evening wa sone of the greatest scientific interest and the audience was in every respect well pleased. The Union District Medical Society Meet and Adjourn Banquet. , The Union District Medical Society which met here yesterday concluded its work last night. About sixty doctors were in attendance.
