AND HIS WHEREABOUTS IS STILL UNKNOWN

SEEN AT HAMILTON Bessie Slick is Also Absent She Was Seen in Oxford Two Weeks Ago. Rev. Ellis, who caused such a commotion in this city, some time ago, has again given cause for talk by escaping from the Oxford sanitarium. Of late Mr. Ellis has been given more freedom than was accorded him at first. Last Monday morning he left the institution, telling the attendants he was going for a short walk. That was very true for he only walked to the station and boarded the 10:17 south bound train on the C, II. & D. In the afternoon of the same day a daughter of Dr. Cook's of the sanitarium, saw him standing at the station platform in Hamilton. She was on her way home from Cincinnati. She knSw Mr. Ellis was an inmate of the sanitarium, but when she saw him standing there supposed he had been discharged. She did not observe whether or not he got on the train but she is quite sure he did not get into the coach in which she was riding. The theory is advanced, however, that he did get on that train, and that his going to Hamilton was only a ruse to tnrow people on ineir guara. ii is he"' supposition that he boarded the train wit hthe intention of going to Indianapolis and from there to St. Louis. A lady who arrived from the west this morning said she heard parties say they saw Mi. Ellis in Indianapolis. ! : Mr. Arthur Ellis was notified by Dr. Cook of his father's absence and he immediately left for Oxford to ascertain the truth about the situation, lie returned from, there last night and was seen this morning by a Palladium representative, lie said Dr. Cook told him there were two ways of looking at insanity from a, medical and from a legal standpoint and the views were necessarily very different. An insane man from a medical standpoint could be intellectual and at the same time die a raving maniac. . This is what he" thinks will become of Mr. Ellis. It may be in a year and it may not be for ten years. A barber in: Oxford told Mr. Arthur Ellis that two weeks ago yesterday he saw IiessieSlick-jon the. street in Oxford, and it 'was more than likely she saw Mr. Ellis and planned the move made on Monday. The. authorities at the institution say that Bessie Slick never presented herself at that place. It is not likely there will be any further etTort made to return Mr. Ellis to Oxford, as that is a very convenient place for Miss Slick to see him. A call at the Slick home in this city was made by a Palladium representative. He was told that Bessie was away from home at present, but as to where she had gone they would not rtate. i OLD MINT Gives the Republican Party a Plurality of 32,000. ' (By Associated Press.)

- Asked an Appropriation. Yesterday a committee from the Sol Meredith Post G. A. R. was before the county council asking that an appropriation be made to build a cottage at the Indiana State Soldiers' Home for the aecommodtion of Wayn county soldiers and wives, and soldiers' widows. There are now twenty-two persons there from Wayne county and they are quartered in the cottages of other counties. TO CARNIVAL RESIDENTS ALONG STREET GET OUT A REMONSTRANCE NUISANCE AND NOISE Would the Carnival Be Residents of Street Can Prevent Carnival From Being Held. In the matter of holding the Jahr Markt on the three squares surrounding the court house, South Fourth, A, and Third streets, the Druids are meeting with opposition that is 9 strong as it is unexpected. Mr. Bloom, the agent for the carnival, and others of the Druids were at the council meeting last night to ask permission to hold the carnival on the three streets above named, and the council granted them permission. But a point of law was brought up; ! and a decision was given by Mr. RobIbins to the effect that the council's per mission was an empty form, and that if the residents along the streets did not Avant the show, by securing an injunction, they could have it removed, and the council would be powerless, one way or the other. Mr. Peteison, who has worked j against the Druids, and has been instrumental in securing signers to the remonstrance, stated that the general feeling was a.srainst holding the carnival on the streets named above, and that t nearly all the residents would hot suffer the carnival to be held. Both the petition and the remonstrance were signed by about thirty. j The feeling between the Druids and l the residents on the three streets ' seems to be pretty high, and Mr. Peterson has avowed his intention of getting to work and secm-ing a restraining injunction. There was quite a good deal of lobbying done by both Druids and the residents not in fvor holding the carnival does not meet holding the carnical does not meet with the approval of a large number that are not directly interested, and it is probable that steps will be taken by both sides. The Druids state that their place is the only practicable place for holding a carnival, and that it will not. as the remonstrators state, shut the latter off from their homos and their places of business, nor will it interfere with them in any way. Councilman O'Neal said the Red Men had asked for a street but little used,, Avhile the Druids have asked for streets in the heart of the city. The remonstrance states that the carnival would be a nuisance, would make noise and dirt, and would spoil lawns and deny free access to homes and places of business. Developments along this line are awaited with interest. The twentieth annual reunion of the Sixtv-ninth Indiana Volunteer regiment, which was to have been held yesterday at Levisvill Henry County, was postponed until a future date on account of the. inability of Col. Todd to be present. -

the Main street bridge, and the dam

will, in all probability, not be built before next spring, s it is too late this year to do anything in the way of construction work. The Starr Piano company do not look on the project of the light plant's dam with very great favor, and the dam will therefore be built above any right of way or land of the Starr 1'iano company. It is expected that the dam. when finished, will be about one hundred feet wide, and will be a good solid structure, although on account of the small amount of water in the river. it will not have to be especially stronjr.
