TWO CENTS AT ALL PLACES OF SALE. THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1906. A PUBLIC BENEFIT. The proposed closing of North Fourteenth street from E to the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad company, as petitioned for by the Hoosler branch of the American Seeding Machine Company, hinges on the question as to whether or not the closing or vacation of the street would constitute a public benefit. It is the contention of the remonstrators. as voiced throujh their attorneys, that such a procedure upon the part of the Hoard of Public Works would constitute a rank infraction of the statutes; that it would, simply be. closing public ground for the benefit of a giant corporation; that instead of belnc of public benefit It would in realltv be sacrificing public ground for the enrichment of a private business enterpriee and finally that such a precedent would be dangerous. In these days when the public mind is filled with ldens about the greed of great corporations and when manufacturing monopolies are seemingly In disfavor with a vast majority of the people. It is easy to persuade the average person that any request of a corporation from from a municipality should be ignored. It is quite easy, therefore, to understand why arguments that strikes a popular chord can be made against the request of the Hoosler Branch of the American Seeding Machine Company. There Is no question that the statute which .resulates the closing of public thoroughfares makes It plain that a real public benefit must result from ,the closing of any street, but It also must be admitted that In all cases where public benefits have been unquestioned and streets vacated there have also been property owners damaged. There is a provision that gives such property owners proper recourse. The contemplated closing of Fourteenth street because a great corporation asks It does not in fact render the question a different one from that which should arise if half the property owners along any other street in the city should ask that their street be vacated. The attorneys for the remonstrators indicated by the arguments made before the Board of Public Works that because a corporation had asked for the vacation it could not be a public benefit. The remonstrators are manufacturers and though not conducting plants so pretentious as the Hoosler Drill concern, bear the same relation to the public as does the petitioner. They have their rights and their rights should and undoubtedly will be. considered. The Hoosler Drill Company should not be discriminated against because It Is a great corporation, no more than the manufacturers who remonstrate should be refused Just treatment because they are comparatively small. Tbo closing of the street In question undoubtedly will interfere with the f.icllltlesof the concerns that are remonstrating and they are entitled, the rr.Uadlum believes, to damages that r.re commensurate therewith. At the ':e time the closing of the street " add to the facilities of the Hoozx plant; will permit it to expand, thereby giving employment to additional men. For deriving this benefit the Hoosler must pay the damages resulting to other corporations. The eliminating of a grade crossing has always been regarded as public service, and In this respect. If no other, the proposed vacation , of Fourteenth treet will constitute a public benefit.

A CIVIL WAR REMINISCENCE Interesting Incident That . Occured in Henry County Daring the Days of 1861.

The Indiana State Librarian has asked that Indiana historical data of general Interest be forwarded to the State Library for perservation. Mrs., E. B. Harned, No. 303 North 8th street, who is In her 80th year written for the Palladium an interest war time story. The manuscript furnished by Mrs. Harned is In her own writtlng, is clear and legible, and the story as a whole Is so well constructed that it needed no "editing" to prepare it for the printer. It is as follows: A CIVIL WAR REMINESCENCE. As an appeal has gone forth for the collection of historical facts and Incidents we think it ought to be the pleasure as well the duty of persons throughout the state to give interesting facts not recorded in history. During the years of the civil war we were residents of Mlddletown, Henry, County. The pioneer element of the town and vicinity was chiefly made up of Virginians, who had brought with them all their hatred of northern abolitionists and wherf the first rumblings of secession were heard It awakened In them the most bitter hatred for the union loving people and as the factions were about equally divided we had war at home. Business houses of loyal men were threatened with the torch and so intense was the feeling it was thought necessary to patrol the town and to organize a company of home guards while the rebellious citizens organized a company to resist the draft. These men met once every week to drill, carrying all manner of fire arms from the old flint back rifle to the most modern of the time. So intense was their hatred for the Though the statute does not specify that the giving employment to labor Is a public benefit, it Is. neverthless, a decided benefit, and whenever Richmond ceases to grow along Industrial lines she will cease to grow In al! other avenues. The Palladium believes that; the City of Richmond will be benefitted by the doubling of a plant like the Hoosler concern and if anybody can point out where the city of Richmond will be benefitted if the street is not vacated and the Hoosler plant Is not enlarged and its facilities Increased, please come forward. If the closing of Fourteenth street Is not a public benefit, as the attorneys for the remonstrators declare, wherein does the public benefit He if the street remains open? The attorneys who oppose the petition admit that the street as it now exists benefits the remonstrating manufacturers but they fall to show wherein the public de rives its benefit therefrom at the present time. Sixth District Editorials WOULD ADVERTISE KUHN. New Castle Curler. It is reported that Rev. Kuhn will challenge Hon. J. E. Watson to a Joint debate of the political issues during the campaign. Such an arrangement would help to advertise Mr. Kuhn all right, but we do not believe that Mr. Watson will care to make a hippodrome of his canvas. One report of the district convention at Greenfield lest Saturday says that some of the delegates grew so optimistic that they predicted the election of Rev. Kuhn, the nominee for representative in Congress. We would just like to know what Greenfield water is charged with. ADDRESS DISAPPOINTING. Shelbyville Republican. The acceptance speech delivered at Greenfield last Saturday by Mr. Kuhn was a disappointment to the men who nominated him and placed their seal of acceptance upon him in the name of the Democrats of the Sixth district In his speech the Rev. Mr. Kuhn forgot to discuss any live Issue, as the Jeffersonites hoped he would do. He did not challenge the Hon. James E. Watson to a series of spectacular verbal combats, as he has said he would do and his treatment of the party which nominated him. Is said to have been anything but pleasing. IS MAKING A RECORD. (Rushvllle Republican.) According to the latest Washing ton news, Mr. James E. Watson is a strong possibility as speaker of the house of representatives. Among those who are favorably mentioned for this honor Mr. Watson seems to have the best chance, standing very very close to the present speaker Joe Cannon, and besides being well 'fitted for the place. Mr. Watson is making a record In Washington, and he Is bound to come to the front, and his constituents In the Sixth District and particularly his fellow citizens in Rushvlle and Rush county are justly proud of him. CONVENTION OF S. OF V. Three Indiana Towns Already After the Great State Meeting For Next Year. Palladium Special. Valparaiso, Ind., June 6. Valpara iso is rapidly assuming a holiday dress for the encampment of the Sons of Veterans of Indiana, which opened to day.

Soutx Bend, Fort Wayne and Terre Haute have delegates, who will ask for the next encampment. .

soldiers, that whenever any of them was at home on a furlough there were numerous combats. As the loyal people always to give the soldiers a good time when at home. There were numerous parties and suppers given for their entertainmentOne evening as a party of soldiers were going out to one of these entertainments they were fired upon and one of them received a bullet In the leg. It proved to be a young man by the name of Crist who fired the shot. He lived with his father on a farm about two miles north of town. Of course there were arrests to be made and ; it so happened that Captain Nation, then a resident of Henry county, who was a brave soldier was at home and offered his services to the sheriff. Gathering a lot of the boys in blue he sallied forth to make the arrests, dead or alive. Arriving at night at the house " they found the old man and his son fully prepared for them having fire arms galore, savage dogs and a trap door to let them down into a subterranean cavity. Providentially they did not enter the house as had been reckoned and succeeded in getting in without much trouble or annoyance when the fight began. A number of shots were fired by both parties, the soldiers coming off unscratched but leaving the old man dead In the house and taking the son to jail. Of course the people of all parties were shocked but it had a salutary effect of bringing about a more peaceful atmosphere either from fear of their own personal safety or from imprisonment or even death as was the fate of Crist.

A wet district with a good deal of subsoil water, making houses damp, is a locality in which rheumatism and consumption are likely to prevail. Over England and Wales the average yearly rainfall is about thirty-four Inches, in Scotland It reaches forty-six Inches and In Ireland about thirty-eight Inches. Possibly the wettest parts of Britain are in Cumberland, where the rainfall may attain 150 Inches per year. One inch of rain on one acre of ground means a hundred tons of water. London Graphic. Heritages. Leave children an accumulated fortune of memories and inspirations and examples and hopes, so that they are rich In brain and heart and soul and service. Then If you happen to leave them a fortune besides, if they have all these, the fortune will be shorn of its possibilities of evil and will become an instrument of higher and nobler good. M. J. Savage. Dsn Ales of Papua,' Even the natives of Papua have their fine gentlemen, their dandies. To rank In this class the young man Is compelled to lace his waist and to have a nose ornament of polished shell. But, as an explorer says, "very few young blades can afford to possess one, and accordingly it may be lent either for a consideration 'or as a very special favor. The possessor of one of these ornaments could easily buy a wife for It and sometimes it is paid as a tribal tribute by one should he hare to pay blood money or be unable to give the statutory pig as atonement for a murder." Papuan husbands, too, have a primitive way of dealing with their recalcitrant wives. A man named Gedon bad a shrewish helpmate whom he attempted to tame according to this method: "He would pick up a billet of wood when she was halfway through a tremendous scolding and give her a terrific blow over the back. Thereupon ensued pandemonium. The other men and women would gather round, jabbering, but they would make no attempt to stop the beating once it bad begun."

Are You Tired, Nervous and Sleepless? Nervousness and sleeplessness are usually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on properly nourishing blood; thoy are starved nerves. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes pure, rich blood, and thereby the nerves are properly nourished and all the organs of the body are run as smoothly as machinery which runs in oil. In this way you feel clean, strong and strenuous you are toned up and invigorated, and you are grood for a whole lot of physical or mental work. Best of all, the strength and increase in vitality and health are lasting. The trouble wtth most tonics and medicines M-hich have a laree. booming sale for a short time, is that they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red blood corpuscles, and In the long run greatly injures the system. One may feel exhilarated and better for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery contains no alcohol. Every bottle of it bears upon its wrapper Tit Dadrje of Ilonc-sty, in a full list of all its several ingredients. For the druirgist to offer you something ho claims is "Just as good" is to insult your intelligence. Every ingredient entering into the world-famed rGolden MedicafDiscovery " has the unanimous approval and endorsement of the leading medical authorities of all the several schools of practice. No other medicine sold through druggists for like purposes has any such endorsement. The "Golden Medical Discovery not only produces all the good effects to be obtained from the use of Golden Seal root, in all stomach, liver and bowel troubles, as In dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation, ulceration of stomach and bowels and kindred ailments, but the Golden Seal root used in its compounding is greatly enhanced in its curative action by other ingredients such as Stone root, Black Cherrybark.
