Kuhn, independent (?) candidate for Congress, denies the story which appeared in the Palladium yesterday morning to the effect that he had met Congressman Watson recently in Itushville and solicited his support. The Rev. Mr. Kuhn says that he knows Congressman Watson personally, but that he has not spoken to him for ten years. He states that he saw Congressman Watson a few days ago at a -distance, and did not speak to him. He says furthermore, , that he would not ask Mr. Watson for his vote should he meet him, for he is sure he will have enough votes without Mr. Watson's assistance. The Rev. Mr. Kuhn, in giving the above information to the Palladium reporter, suggested that it be put in the form of nn interview from him and that big bold headlines be put over the top of it. WARD H.

B. CLARK WAS HERE He Was Consulting an Attorney About Incorporating the Town of Greensfork. Dr. J. B. Clark of Economy was in Richmond Wednesday to consult an attorney in regard to the proposed incorporation of that town. The citizens have voted in favor of the incorporation, and it is probable that steps will be taken early in the spring which will result in Economy's becoming a "town." Since the court ruled in favor of the Greensfork corporation, in a law suit some weeks ago, it is assumed that as much land as needed can be included in the limits.

Prosecuting Attorney Wilfred Jes sup gave an instructive address on the work now being done by the police force of this city; told of their endeavors to enforce the temperance laws of the state and the great work that they had accomplished long this line. He stated that the people interested in the spread of temperance owed more to the Richmond police than was realized. Dr. Thurston spoke on "Non-Al-cholic Medication."

Attorney Shiveley. presided at the Albion-Earlham debate and in introducing him President Kelly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I take great pleasure in introducing the man who will be the next Governor of Indi ana Mr. Shiveley did not refer to the matter in his talk in opening the debate although many assert that his face lighted up with pleasure when President Kelly introduced him. Mr. Shiveley recently gave the matter of making a canvass for the office of Attorney General much thought, but this week announced that he would not try for the place. In' view of this fact, the words of President Kelly seem quite significant. The Earlham executive has lately taken much interest in politics having made speeches and worked at the polls in the last municipal campaign. A' number of the officials and clerks of the Pennsylvania offices in this city, are planning to take a trip through the west sometime soon. They will tramp through the Rocky Mountains, in Oregon and Washington States. WEATHER INDICATIONS. Temperature. March 9, 1905. Morning ......29 Noon ....39 Night .......40 March 9, 1906.

Thursday night and came in yesterday morning for instructions, in law, on the liability of railroads for accidents, associated with their negligence. About noon the jury reached a verdict which was not accepted because it found the company guilty of contributory negligence, a thing impossible on the part of the defendant in such a suit.

A SPEECH FULL OF ORATORY

Dr. Clark Tails The Teachers What is Necessary For Them to be Successful. The Second Annual Sunday School Banquet held last evening at the Coliseum was a success in every particular and a large number of teachers and officers of the different Sunday schools of the city were present. Almost a thousand persons gathered to hear Dr. Joseph Clark, on "The Self Training of the Teach er. At the banquet, there was an almost complete attendance of teachers in the Richmond Sunday schools. Six long tables stretched the length of the all and were well filled with eatables. W. E. Halpenny, secretary of the Indiana Sunday School Asso ciation, gave ashort address following the banquet. At seven thirty, the doors were thrown open to the public and the program of the evening was commenced. Music was rendered by a quartet ocmposed of some of the best voices in the city and Rev. Ware of the East Main street Friends' church gave the invocation. The address of Dr. Clark, secretary of the Ohio Sunday School Association covered three points. First, every teacher should be trained in fundamentals. Faith enters largely into this training, for without faith, effort will go for naught. The second point was the social and sympathetic side of nature. The third point dealt with the art of pedagogy. The .primary point is to get the attention of the pupil, althought after getting the attention, it is well to have the art of questioning as in that rests a great deal. Fre quently pupils are frightened out of telling what they know about the lesj son 'by the; manner in 'which" the question is put to them. A DECISIOjl MONDAYYesterday morning in police court Judge Converse stated that a decision in he case of Henry Evans would be given Monday morning. Henry U.

Earlham clung to the idea of the number of ships, and Albion at no time tried to refute its arguments along this line. While the men of both teams put up very good arguments and their delivery was good, the speeches of Robert Baldwin, Captain of the Albion team and William E. Lear, Captain of the Earlham team, created more enthusiasm than others. The men composing the Albion team were: Robert W. Baldwin, Detroit, Mich. ; Joel Moore, Hillsdale, Mich., and F. F. Fitchett, Albion, M3ch. The Earlham men were William E. Lear, Jr., Grand Lodge, Mich., Chester A. Haworth, Danville, Ind., Oliver M. Frazer, Richmond, Ind. The judges were Judge B. F.

ADVISE DELAY III THE MATTER

City Officials Thinks Richmond Should Borrow Money and Build Its Own Conduits. It seems to be the general opinion that when the new council comes in to office the first of May one of the first matters to claim its attention will be the question of placing wires on Main street, in underground conduits and it would occasion no sur prise if a decision was reached by the new council to have these conduits built and controlled by the city. "The only sensible thing to be done is to have the city build the conduits and make it compulsory for every company having wires on Main street to use these conduits," said a city official yesterday. "I do not think that the present council will take any action in the matter but I am of the opinion that the next council will pass such an ordinance. A loan eoukl be floated to build these conduits and the revenue the city would derive from them would be large enough to warrant the expense. I think that the determination of the Central Union Telephone people to start work on rebuilding its system at once is unwise for in case the city did decide to build municipal conduits it would be obliged to again rebuild on Main street." Another city official said that council was adverse to having the streets torn up by the Central Union now and then "year by year have the performance Repeated by other concerns who had decided tofollow the example of the Central Union. Home Telephone officials refuse to discuss the subject. ; The following views on the ques tion were expressed " yesterday by Main street musiness men: " Timothy Nicholson ' 4 Cleveland has just compelled the placing of wires underground and I think the same should be done in Richmond. I would like to see all overhead wires taken down. They are dangerous." G. H. Knollenberg "I think eventually that all wires should be placed underground and that an ordinance to that effect should at once be passed but in justice to the companies effected I think a limit of from 5 to 10 years should be named for them to comply with the ordinance. It would be very expensive for these concerns to make the required change at once and they should be given a reasonable length of time to act in." Cash Beall ' ' The overhead wires are unsightly and dangerous but I am not prepared to commit myself on what should be done in this case." C. H. Haner "Main street looks unsightly with all these wires and poles and I would like to see them done away with." F. F. Ilaisley " There are two sides to this question. I would like to see the wires taken down and placed in conduits but I would not be in favor of any action on council's part that would embarrass the Home Telephone Company. If the Central Union wished to place its wires underground I am in favor of allowing it to do so." BARBERS TO GIVE DANCE There will be a dance given by the Barbers Union at the Odd Fellows Hall March 27, which promises to be a very enjoyable affair. ASK FOB GUARDIAN Robbins and Starr have filed the suit of Samuel B. Willits vs. Catherine Nelson Willits, an aged couple residing in Washington Township, near Milton, for inquest and guardian.
