HANDICAP On the Dayton & Western Will Soon Be Removed. It will be a source of great plea sure to the many patrons oi the Dayton & Western to know that the improvements in. the power house at West Alexandria, which have been in progress a long time, are said to be rapidly approaching completion, and when done it is expected that the handicap under which the company has labored in the matter of power ever since this end of the line was put in operation, will be removed. Among improvements are additional boilers, which are the primary source of power. It is expected that when all is in working order the time schedule will be still further reduced. It is doubtful, however, if this should be done. The present schedule is fast enough for all practical purposes if it can be maintained and the cars kept c promptly on lime. To attempt to shorten it might result in irregular time of cars, even with addidtional power. Most trips on the cars are comparatively short and great speed, is not half so important as absolute regularity of the cars. The average busy man does not want, to consume as much time waiting for a late car as it takes to make his trip after it comes. A great source of annoyance would also be removed if a close connection between the New Paris car and the east bound main line cars could be made at Westville. NEXT SATURDAY Prudential Will Have District Meeting and Pield Day. The district meeting and field day of the Prudential Life Insurance company will be held here next Saturday. Bge.'s, orchestra will furnish the music. ' The contests 'include fca sack race, free-for-all race, potato race, bievele race, ladies e race and ........ ' baseball game.

FALSE REPORT SENT OUT

CORRESPONDENT TO INDIANAPOLIS STAR THE PRESIDENT ROBBINS Denies the tory and Says That it Was Made Out of Whole Cloth A Wrong Impression. The report sent to the Indianapolis j by its Richmond corresondent I g that the Young Men's Repubar 1 stating lican Club would disband if funds were not forthcoming, is a little premature. It is true it will cost a few hundred dollars to equip the drum and bugle corps, but it will be had in due time. There ' is no thought of disbanding. Byram Bobbins, ' who is president of the Young Men's Republican Club was seen today by the Palladium in regard to the story printed in the Indianapolis Star this morning. Mr. Bobbins, who is one of the most enthusiastic Republicans in the city, was very indignant about the matter. He said the story sent out from here was false from every standpoint. "It would certainly be a very unpatriotic thing for the club to do," said Mr. Robbins. "The idea of disbanding because money could not be raised is preposterous, and no one entertained such a move for a minute. The club is meeting with success and will be continued until Roosevelt and Fairbanks are elected." Spent By the Farmers and Specula- ,; tors in the Corn Market. Chicago, September 15. Farmers in the corn belt and speculators in the corn market spent another anxious night waiting to see if the frost predicted for Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota by the weather bureai for last night would appear on schedule time and .be heavy enough to cause serious injury. There was hope for the corn grower in the fact that the heavy frosts of the night before did not, according to reports from grain men, strike any important section of the corn belt. There were killing frosts at Valentine and North Platte in western Nebraska with temperatures of 30, and a light frost at Concordia, Kausas, with a temperature of 38., But 00 per cent, of the Nebraska corn crop is raised in the eastern twothirds of the state and the area of heavy frost did not "extend into it. Iowa missed the threatened frosts, temperature in that State ranging from 42 to 40. Sjeculators were inclined to take the stand that the frosts predicted for tonight for Nebraska. Iowa. Illinois and Indiana would be light or perhaps warded off entirely by the rains and high winds which saved Iowa the night before. This 'opinion had its effect on .prices in the corn pit, where the realizing by speculative holders was heavy enough to force a "decline of one-half cent in values. - The growth, however, has been rank ; and the ears are covered by an unusually heavy shuck, which farmers claim might protect' the corn from a liirht frost. Many advices from the country say a third to a half of the crop in the northern sections of the ! States named needs warm weather and absence from frost until October 1 to mature, and a killing frost would catch from 100,000,000 bushels to 200,000,000 bushels in the milk, making it unmarketable and almost useless, even for fodder. At present prices of about 54 cents for cash corn, a killing frost in these States alone might easily wije out 1100,000.000 worth -of corn.
