SHOOTM AFFAIR VERY MUCH DEPLORED IN BETHEL AND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HOPES ENTERTAINED Of Her Recovery, as Encouraging News Comes From There Today.

The accidental shooting of Mrs Harlan by her husband, Rev. Levi Harlan last Wednesday evening is still the main topic about Bethel. Mr. Harlan was shooting at English sparrows and had just fired a shot and was reloading tiie gun, and as he snapped it back in position to shoot, the shell expoded. Mrs. Harlan had' been sit ting down but just at this moment raised to her feet, and received the charge in the left breast. I)r. G. J. Martz of Hollandsburu.' was hurriedly called, and after a careful examination failed to loeat

the bullet, which had struck a rib and glanced into the lung. The complaint of Mrs. Harlan about severe pain under her left shoulder blade, would seem to indicate that the ball had passed through the body and lodged under the shoulder blade. As there is no apparent serious hemorrhage or nervous shock it is not thought that the wound, will prove fatal, unles? some unseen trouble sets in. This accident is doubly sad because of the fact that Mrs. Harlan was just regaining health from an attack of illness which for a long time was thought would be fatal. The Palladium received word today that Mrs. Harlan was improving and resting fairly well. CAMBWE CITY

G. & R.

Portland, Ind., June 4. The Portland, Montpelier, Warren and Huntington traction line which was promoted by James West, of Montpelier, has received favorable consideration at the hands of the experts sent out by the Municipal Bonds and Securities company, of Cincinnati, and New York and word has been received from the bond company that the roac! will be financed. The bond company orders the right-of-way to be taken up at once. The bond issue will amount to $1,600,000 and will all be taken by the one concern. The Municipal Bond Company is behind foui roads jn Indiana that are either now building or ready to build. These are the Wabash and Rochester, the Vincennes, Louisville and West Baden and the Columbus, Greenburg and Richmond. Manager Wilson of the C. G. & R. says that the above hasn't the least semblance to truth as far as the C. G, & R. is concerned. The Municipal Bond and Securities company has nothing to do with the C. G. & R.

I St. Louis, Mo., (Indiana Building) June 4. The dedication of the Indiaria Building took place yesterday, and for which many Indiana people, including J. F. Miller of this city were ; present. The decorations on dedication day were more beautiful than those of any other state building; ; Heller Bros, of New Castle, were awarded the contract for the decorations in the line of floriculture and they shipped four thousand American Beauuty roses, each with stems a yard long, to be used in decorating. The mass of roses made a wonderful sight and attracted crowds and the scent lingered around for : long while. Herbert Heller was com pelled to change his wedding trip and come here to look after the decorating, owing to the sudden illness of his brother. Gov. Durbin and the

Culver cadets had prominent parts in the dedicatorv exercises.

CUCUMBER STORY

It Sounds Well and is an Absolute

BUSINESS

COLLEGE

Fact.

The averageman realizes the fact that there is death in one whole cucumber. At this season of the yeai most people fight shy of the "green goods.' ' But here is a story told us and vouched for by a west end groceryman. Yesterday he had a nice display of cucumbers in front of his grocery. Two Italians happened along and espied the "cholera morbus makers." One of the fellows picked up two of them and asked the price. He was told they were five cents apiece. He took the two and asked for some salt, which was given him, and the two fellows sat on the curbing and ate the cucumbers. Then one of them asked the groceryman if he would sell six for a quarter and the groceryman nodded assent. He gave him 15 cents more and took

four cucumbers and the two resumed their seats on the curbing and with a little more salt eleaned up all six of the cucumbers, each man eating three. The grocery keeper was astonished, bystanders were amazed, and all were awaiting results, thinking the ambulance and undertaker would soon be called. But they went their way seemingly unhurt.

OTHER

FOR PEOPLE COMING HERE TO ATTEND CONVENTION OF . STATE SUNDAY SCHOOLS The Christian People of the City Should Come to the Rescue.

The people of Richmond must open their homes; people from all over the state of Indiana are making their, plans to come to Richmond June 21 to 23 to the State Sunday Sckool Convention, to the extent of about 1,500. It will not be safe to provide for less than this number. In a recent ?utiass made of the church homes of the city, places were se cured for about 300 people, thus leaving about ten to twelve hundred people yet to be provided for. Surely the Christian people of this community as well as all citizens of Richmond should come to the rescue and provide lodging and breakfast' for

i these noble Sunday school workers.

The thirty-first annual commencement was held in the Masonic opera house last evening and was attended by the usual large audience. The decorations, which consisted of oak boughs, palms, and snow balls, making the green and white to form the class colors, gave a fresh and pleasing effect. The graduates, thirteen in

number, namely: Nora Myers, Lorena McLane, Lena Eliason. Edith Honey, Hairy Ware, Marie Hodskin, Herbert Reese, Roy Kniese, Beulah Ouyton, Eula Nichols, Fred Tutuorow, Mabel Kepler, and Anna Freeman, with the instructors, Isadore "Wilson, principal; Wm. O. Wissler, assistant, and Lee Ault, superintendent, were seated on very pretty parlor chairs and divans placed in a semi-circle at the rear of the stage.

The different subjects were well handled and were in the main well writleu and delivered in good style. Each i; worthy of praise. The presentation of diplomas by Mrs. Isadore Wilson was especially worthy of note. She spoke feelingly giving good ad vide and wishing success to the members of the class. The event meant a great deal to all, as it always does, although the graduates will greatly miss the school and kind teachers henceforth. The music which was furnished by the Columbus, Ind., Glee Club, was of the highest order and was highly appreciated by the audience. One number was especially catchy and was greatly applauded, The commencement exercises, as a whole, were a complete

MR. CASSATT BUSY SECURING THE RIGHT OF WAY

EIGHTY-FIVE PER CENT Already Secuured To Make A Canvass of the TerminalsRichmond and Greenville.

Mr. J. E. Cassatt, wi-iting to the Hollandsburg Independent about the proposed electric line from Hollandsburg to this city says:

I have now secured S3 per cent of I

tne ngnt-oi-way Detween ureenvue and Chester, at practically no outlay of money and those I have not secured, are either non-residents, or wert not at home when I called. The width of the right-of-way secured, varies from eighteen to thirty feet, accord

ing to the lay of the land and I have have made no attempt to get more ground than is necessary to build a railroad on, making due allowance for sidings, curves, cuts, and fills.

Associated with me in the promotion

of this enterprise, are my brothers,

A. C. Cassatt, Esq., of Cincinnati, Ohio, is state senator from that thy and also attorney for the Cincinnati Street Railway Company, the Longworth estate and other interest, and G. M. Cassatt, managing Directr f.r Europe for the Remington Typewriter Company, of New York, who resides in London. England. Also some Cincinnati friends who oeJicvj in i lie future of this railway. My proposition to the people of this section, has never varied from that mad 3 at the outset, viz: That if a practically free right-of-way given and one fourth of a preferred stock issue of $100,000 was taken up along the line of the road, that would take up the remaining three fourths of the preferred stock issue of iho new

company and would tile? the responsibility of bonding the road for what money is required to complete it. In the meantime I shall also organize my company and make a thorough

canvass of the terminals, Richmond !

and Greenville and the intervening country for subscription to our preferred stock issue. A brief pre'iii.inary canvass of this territory la-t fall, convinced me that the required amount can be raised.
