Simply because a taxpayer of Richmond was heart, and soul against the establishment of the light plant When council first considered the question of municipal lighting, it does not follow that he should be heart and soul against the plant at this time; that he should favor the plan hatched by Eastern capitalists to rid the city of the very thing that has made cheap lighting possible. It may be said in fairness to all concerned that some of the men now bo ardent In their opposition to the proposed sale were also opposed to the establishment of the plant originally. This does not mean that they have become converted to the municipal ownership theory necessarily but It does mean that they are far-sighted enough to think they see that Richmond will blunder seriously if it lets go of the plant. The investigation now under way by a Joint committee of council and the Commercial Club may develop that the plant has not been conducted at a profit. It may even show that there has in reality been a loss. But the chances are that the savings resulting from cheap light will more than balance the losses in conducting the plant. It is true that no sane business man would continue his business at a loss, but it should be the case also that a municipality would willingly sacrifice something to benefit its people, when such benefit would actually mean a saving of money. Whenever the Richmond municipal lighting plant passes into the hands of a great syndicate of capitalists .not one of whom has any Interest in the people of the ity other than to separate .them from their money, then look out Once remove the narrler, which the city plant has been to the private corporation's interests, and it can never be replaced. Low rates may prevail for a time but the program at the very outset will be to find a way by which the rate may go higher. And a corporation that Is nursing an absolute monopoly will find a way. Flaws have been picked in apparently watertight franchises and through these flaws the corporations find an excuse to do about as they please. The Light, Heat & Power Company is kneeling to the city now. Kill the "goose that laid the golden egg" and then Richmond will do the kneeling. MILTON.

The Light Plant Situation

ARTICLE NUMBER THREE.

MR. WITHERBVS PROPOSITION IS AGAIN PUNCHED FULL OF HOLES AND ADDITIONAL LIGHT IS THROWN ON THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS THAT CONFRONTS THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE FINANCIAL POINTS INVOLVED IN THE WITHERBY PROPOSITION.

Editor Palladium: In the proposal of Mr. Witherby to the City of Richmond the proposition commences with the statement that he assumes that the electric light business from the city's standpoint is simply a business proposition and not one of sentiment. The "idea of treating this affair as a cold blooded business proposition is a subject worthy of the attention of all citizens who are interested in wise and economical government and a little time and attention given to this subject will clearly show, that as far as the city of Richmond Is concerned, there has never been a time in her history when electric lighting has been available to the citizens, and particularly to that large class in this community, such as mechanics, skilled workers and otherwise, as it is today, and as our friend Mr. Witherby says. "It is the cheapest of any city in Indiana." I want to ask the citizens of Richmond If there Is not some sentiment about holding on to such a proud condition of affairs as that. I want to ask the men who toil in the factor ies if this city and the mechanics and all others whose labors and skill have contributed their proper share to developing this beautiful city to the exalted position it holds today, if this electric lighting system which has enabled all our people, who cared to avail of itrto be served at even as low a price as 60 cents per month is devoid of sentiment. Yes, Mr. Witherby, there is more sentiment in this question among the people of Richmond than you even dreamed of and the hurry up, Flapstick quick action that occurred in the council chamber, at the close of the regular session on this famous night of April 2, at a time when the members were, naturally tired and sleepy and which elicited your expressed satisfaction will soon fade away from your mind like a beautiful dream. Citizens' did you note how this "deal" was not mentioned during the regular session of council. Oh, no, the time to spring such a thing as this MR. MILTON CRAIGHEAD PLEASANTLY ENTERTAINED HJS BRIDAY PARTY AT CAMBRIDGE. The Engagement of Mr. David Sutton Formerly a Resident of This City Has Been Announced Mrs. David W. Dennis Elected President of the Tlcknor Club for Coming Year. Mr. Milton Craighead, whose marriage to Miss Martha Carson of Knightstown takes place at the home of' the bride at 8 o'clock tonight, delightfully entertained the members of the briday party last evening at a dinner, served at the Vinton House, Cambridge City. The Richmond party left this city at a late hour yesterday afternoon on an lnterurban car, The guests at the briday dinner were: Mr. and Mrs. Miles Bland of Cleveland, O., Mr. Milton Craighead, Miss Martha Carson of Knightstown, Miss Mary Carson of Knightstown, Miss Beeson of Cincinnati, Mr. and Mrs. Brown of Knightstown, Miss Kennard of Omaha, Neb., Miss Harris of Knightstown, Mr. Rudolph Leeds of Richmond, Miss Soper of Chicago, Mr. Soper of Chicago, Mr. John Goodwin of New Castle, Mr. Will Carson of Knightstown, Mr. Frank Braffett of Richmond and Mr. Ray K. Shlveley of Richmond. The engagement of Mr. David Sutton of Detroit, formerly of Richmond, to Miss Elizabeth Carter of Boston, Mass., has been announced. Mr. Sutton is the son of Mrs. Mary Sutton, who resides on her farm, just west of the Country Club. Mr. Sutton was one of the best known young men In Richmond when he resided here. He is a graduate of Earlham College. He met his fiance while attending an engineering school at Boston. Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hanley, a masque surprise party was given. After the masks were removed the evening was spent In a social manner and a luncheon was served. In the party were. Messrs and Mesdames Albert Hanley, Frank Aiken, William Hatfield and son and Raymon Lehman and daughter; Mesdames Harry Pattl, Clarence Patti, Tom Shannon and daughter. Frank Shlssler and daughter, Florence Mitchell, Florence Connor and daughter, Mrs. Pavey; Misses Rose Elstro and Elsie Hanley. 4f The following officers of the Ticknor Club have been elected for the ensuing year: President Mrs. D. W. Dennis. Vice President Mrs. D. L. Mather. Secretary Mrs. E. B. Grosvenor. Corresponding Secretary Miss Susan Kelsey. Treasurer Mrs. J. S. Shroyer. The losing meeting and banquet of the Aftermath was held last evening at the home of Mr. Frank Clark, on North Eleventh street". The principal feature of the program was a paper by Mrs. M. F. Johnston on the "Value of Beauty in Life." The paper was excellently presented, and set forth many thoughts of great Interest and value. . The annual banquet fol

IH SOCIETY'S REALM

is when the council has concluded all other business, and having epent several hours in the council chamber, and the hour is quite late, many of the members are tired and sleepy, and wish to go home. It was right at the time with the proposition hot off the real that the committee was developed to "investigate the advisability of selling the plant." They were to make this report to a special, meeting of the city council, a large number of whom, go out of office some time the latter part of this month. Right at this point I wish to call the attention of the people to the fact that when the appointment of a committee was in progress in the Commercial Club it was decided on suggestion of Mr. Reeves that the club committee act in its findings entirely separate and apart from the others, and the Commercial Club are entitled to credit for that. Here is another one, they were to pay for this $400,000 property the cost of construction as shown on the city books which will eventually appear about the sum of $230,000. As something like $30.00 has been taken from the earnings of the plant and used for new extensions and work of that kind. They also agreed to pay cash or assume the bonded debt. They could not assume the bonded debt or relieve the city of Richmond of it in any shape or manner, so that brings us up to the point. The city would have to pay the interest on the bonds for the 16 years or so they have to run, but the city cannot loan Its funds, hence an agreeable arrangement for Mr. Witherby, no doubt, would be for the city to keep the bonds and he would pay the Interest at 4 per cent whicti would be more excellent business for Witherby. In the closing paragraph of the Witherby proposition he expressed his desire that his entire offer be thoroughly canvassed and In case he may be uneasy about this I will take this means of advising him that he and his merry crew will get all the discussion desired and open free canvassing on this question. ROBERT S. ASHE.

lowed and carried with it throughout many features which would' remind one of the approach of Easter. A large number of persons were present, many of whom were invited guests. The company departed at a late hour, all highly pleased with the evening and carrying away with them the thought that the members of the Aftermath not only do work of literary merit, but that, they are great entertainers as well.

The coroner's Jury declared In its verdict that Chalmers was utterly unjustified In taking Arnold's life. Chalmers is held without bail. .

In ihe Tomb of loua and Tioua

g RICH find was made in the land & of the pharaohs recently M which throws light on th cus- . toms of the Egyptians of a very early period and reveals the fact that the people of that nneient era possessed many things strangely resembling those of modern times. In the course of the excavations in the sacred valley of the kings a tomb was found which proved to have a curious history. From the hieroglyphics on the mummy cases the archaeologists made out that the" burial place was that of "loua, hereditary prince, chief friend among- the friends of the sovereign." Near Ws mummy was that of his wife, Tioua. The tomb was in a state of much confusion. Mummy cases were broken open, coffin covers were left standing against the wall and the apartment was filled with vases, furniture and adornment scattered about In a haphazard way. It was the tomb of the father and mother of Til, a queen of the eighteenth dynasty, about 1700 B. C, whose changing of the national religion caused uproar and violence In those faraway days. It is conjectured that she wished for her father and mother a royal burial, but as the times were not auspicious placed their mummies In this tomb temporarily, with the funeral offerings, until the desired honors could be duly paid. Evidently the period of quiet did not arrive, and the mummies were left where they were placed. Perhaps a thousand years passed away, and then the tomb was entered by a robber, who stole Jewelry and other things which seemed to him of value. He scattered many things about In his wanton disregard of the sacredness of the place, but nevertheless left the tomb in possession of the very articles most valuable to present day students of that distant time. It was not opened again until the archaeologists removed the debris from it a few weeks ago, and thus but for a single rude Intrusion It has lain undisturbed for almost 4,000 years. Owing to the custom of those early days of placing in the tombs of the rich and great the things they were supposed to need In the other world, or the symbols of the same, Including even effigies of servants to minister to them, this burial place was filled with ' A chaib Over 3,600 tears old. many articles which because of their antiquity and the knowledge they supply to the life of that time are now of Intense Interest. Not only vases containing food, but furniture, a chariot, a bed and chairs, an embroidery stand and a Jewelry box and similar articles, were put in the rock hewn resting place of loua and Tioua by Queen Tli. As the contents of the tomb represented In part the furniture or other belongings of a princely household, they were typical of the best workmanship of the period. In design and decoration there is an astonishing similarity between the chairs found in this tomb and those of the French empire and Louis XVI. style now so much affected. The Egyptians were adepts In the sculpture of animals. Many of the gods and r ddesses were represented with human bodies, but with heads of the animals sacred to them, and thus the sculptors became especially proficient in modeling such forms. One of the chairs of this tomb, whlf h looks almost as If It might have been made In the time of Louis XVI., has gazelles under the arms of each side which In their execution are remarkably realls tic. The back contains sculptured fig ures of the god Bes standing between two figures of the goddess Taurt, who Is represented with the head of an animal. The chair is supported by claw footed legs, which thus are seen to antedate by several thousand years the similar characteristics of so called antique furniture now popular. A chair which might be said to be In the empire style has legs modeled on those of the ox. The carved work Is gilded with Nubian gold, and the back Is sculptured with a scene representing Queen Til's daughter Set-Ammon on a throne. One chair had a cushion stuffed with goose feathers, perhaps a thoughtful provision by Queen Til for the comfort of her mother in the other world. Evidently this princely pair were fond of sweets, for among the beautiful alabaster Jars containing funeral offerings of food was found a pitcher filled with honey, still in a fluid state, to which the wasps came bussing when it was brought into the open air. The mummies of loua and Tioua were excellently preserved, and the features could readily be distinguished. All the relics are to-be preserved at Cairo. Russ Bleaching Blue is much the best.

ALLOW US TO PROVE OT!

FOLLOWS MISTRESS TO WATERY GRAVE Faithful Collie Leaps Overboard as Baby's Body Is Buried at Sea. An extraordinary example of canine devotion was witnessed on board the Anchor liuer Columbia recently when a beautiful Scotch collie named Daisy leaped overboard after the body of het four-year-old mistress had been consigned to the sea. The dog, which belonged to Andrew Macdonough, father of the child, had been the little girl's constant companion since she was a We to crawl, and had rescued her several times from positions of peril.- . On one occasion, when Mary was playing in'lhe street in front of their home in Glasgow, a runaway team came rushing down upon THE COLLIE, WITH A FRANTIC BAR-i, LEAPED IXTO THE SEA, her. She was too frightened to move, but the dog suddenly seized her dress and dragged her to safety. Little Mary was not well when the ship left Glasgow, and the rough weather brought on a violent seasickness which resisted all the efforts of Dr. Bruce, the ship's surgeon, and the child died. - The grief of the dog was pathetic. At the little one's request it had been brought up to see her several times during her illness and would lie for hours outside the stateroom door listening for the voice of its mistress. Its instinct Informed It at once when the end came, and the bereaved animal set up a heartbroken howl'ng. A steward tried to coax it below, but it refused to move and showed Its teeth at the man. When the body of the child was brought out on deck for burial Daisy followed and stood moaning while the service was being read. Mr. Macdonough, fearful lest the dog might try to leap overboard after the body, kept a firm grip on Its collar, but his precaution was of no avail, for at the waves closed over the dead child the collie gave one frantic bark and, wrenching Its head free of the collar, leaped upon the ship's rail and Into the sea and was drowned. Ladies who take pride In clear, white. clothes should use Russ Bleacling Blue. Sold by grocers.
