The Richmond Division is about one half as wealthy as the ndianapolis Division, in this county. The statement gives the total value as $202,506. Of this amount, right of way and track is valued at $17,721. . The Louisville division is small compared to the other two, and asks to pay tax on but $10,540 of property.

The county will derive from $50,000 to $55,000 from the railroads next year in tax. WANT TO RAISE $1,000 Ladies Aid Society of the First English Lutheran Church Undertake Big Task.

0 0 0 0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ABSENCE CAUSES GOSSIP Dr. G. H. Mottier Left the City Week Ago -His Whereabouts Not Obtainable at Present.. The continued absence from the city of Dr. G. H. Mottier, a well-known young physician, has created consid erable gossip concerning his alleged connection with a case that was in vestlgated by the recent session of the grand jury. Dr. Mottier has been ab sent from his residence, North Eighth and A streets since the day that the grand jury returned its report. In quiries at his home bring no information as to his whereabouts and it is not known whether he is to return or not. It has never been officially announced that the grand jury v re turned an indictment against Dr. Mottier bu;t the impression has pre vailed that it did so and the fact that he has left the city strengthens this belief. It was asserlhd yesterday that the authorities atta making an effort to locate the phtsician. Flower Mission Meeting.

The city council Is at the back of Mayor Zimmerman in the stand he has taken In regard to the appropriation of $5,000 for the Richmond Centennial. Like the Mayor the councilmen are of the opinion that they have no legal authority to appropriate this sum of money without the consent of the people and do not feel like shouldering any responsibility in the matter unless this consent is given them. All of the councilmen think that the city should materially assist in paying the expenses of the Quaker City's "birthday party" but unless this can be done in a legal manner council will probably refuse to even make eyes at any Centennial appropriation ordinanace. Mayor Zimmerman has made the statement that he is in favor of having council call a special election so that the votres can express their sentiments on the matter of appropriating $5,000 for Centennial purposes. If the majority favor the appropriation

the Mayor thinks that council should act accordingly. Councilmen Think Alike. Everyone of the ten councilmen think that this is the method that should be pursued by council and it is probable that at the next meeting of council a week from next Monday evening, a special election "will be ordered. If this election is ordered it is not improbable that the voters will also be asked to express their senti ments at the polls In regards to the proposed appropriation of $35,000 for the-expense of rebuilding and reequipping the municipal light plant. At the last council meeting in May council ordered the drawing up of an ordinance appropriating this sum of money for the re-building and reequipment expenses at 'the plant. At that time City Attorney Gardner in formed the councilmen that he did not think they had a legal right to appropriate this sum of money with out the consent of the people." At the council meeting last Monday evening this ordinance was not presented to council and . it is evident that the councilmen are now of the opinion that they have no more right to appropriate $35,000 for light plant expenses than they have to appropriate $5,000 for the benefit of ,the Richmond Centennial. Hence , is is not improbable that the voters will be asned to vote on the two appropriations at one election. Interviews Were Secured. Councilman O'Neal in an Interview stated that he favored the the : Centennial appropriation matter being refered to the people either through the medium of an election or a mass meeting. If the money was appropriated he-favored a slight increase of the tax duplicate. Councilman Leftwick stated that he would not care to vote on such an appropriation unless he knew the sentiments of his constituents. The other eight councilmen in" interviews expressed themselves practically in the same manner. . PETITION FOR A BRIDGE Structure Probably Will be Built over Slmond'a Creek Near Cambridge City. The petition asking for a bridge across Simonds creek at what is known as Henby's ford, one mile southwest of this place, has been revived and circulated and ' now ' bears the names of a large number of tax payers, has been filed with the commissioners for consideration at their next meeting. It is now believed the council and commissioners will give this petition their favorable endorsement as a bridge has been needed long ago, both from points of safety and convenience. RED MEN . TO DECORATE Osage Tribe of Cambridge City to Hold Exercises on Sunday Afternoon. PaH(Mum Special.! Cambridge- City, June 7. Next Sunday, June 10, Osage tribe of Red Men will decorate the graves of their departed brothers and hold appropriate Memorial services. The exercises will be held in Riverside cemetery at 2 p. m. if the weather-is -favorable, otherwise in the Red Men's hall. Members of the tribe will meet at the wigwam at 1 p. m., and proceed in a body to the cemetery., The Boys' Military band will furnish music Hon. Roscoe E. Klrkman, of Rich mond, will deliver the address. Dr. Starbuck Accepts. Prof. Edwin D. Starbuck of Earlham, who resigned 'his position some time ago, has accepted the position as head of the department of Philosophy of the University of Iowa. Dr. Starbuck - considered the offer for em time before he took it.

James Shaw, Chautauqua promoter, who is in charge of the Richmond Chautauqua program, was here yesterday in conference with the local committee and he was able to outline in part the program for each day at the Richmond Assembly which will open Friday afternoon August 24. Not all of the speakers or entertainers have been contracted with. up to this time, hence Mr. Shaw could give only a partial outline of the program, but what he has arranged indicates that the Chautauqua as a whole will be more entertaining than ever before. An additional day also has been provided this year, the closing program to take place on Monday September 4, Labor Day. Dr. Charles Zeublin, of Chicago University, who is well known in Richmond having delivered two series of lectures here under the auspices of the local chapter of the University Extension movement, is to be at the Chautauqua an entire week as also is Prof. Fess, of Chicago University. Both of these lecturers are brought here by the Wayne County Teachers' Association whose summer institute is merged with the Chautauqua. The "Juvenile Chautauqua" One of the new features this year may be called the "juvenile Chautauqua" or a children's department which will be in charge of Miss Pearl Carpenter, of Covington, Ky., an entertainer of note whose chief charm, perhaps, is her wonderful ability to entertain children. Miss Carpenter will be provided with a special tent and with the children of the Chautauqua patrons assembled each morning she will entertain them in various ways. Much of her work Is alons original kindergarten lines and is as attractive as it is Instructive to the little tots. . The night before the formal open

ing of the Chautauqua there will be a band concert on the Chautauqua grounds. On the afternoon of Friday, August 25, the program for the as sembly will begin and the first speak er will be Senator Dolliver of Iowa, one of the most brilliant orators In Congress. The Jubilee singes will also appear on the opening afternoon. The program for Friday evening has not been determined. Saturday, August 25, will be Children's Day and among the entertain ers will be the Whiter Sisters of Laf ayette, juvenile singers .whistlers, and readers, who come to the Richmond Chautauqua with established reputations. . On the evening of this day Frank. Regan, of Rockford, 111., will give his famous chalk talk, which, it is asserted differs greatly from the work of the majority of entertainers of this type. Richmond Hobson on Sunday. . On the. afternoon of Sunday August 26, Lieut. Richmond P. Hobson. of Merrlmac fame, will lecture. His subject will be "America Among the Na tions." . On the same afternoon Rich ard P, Carroll, a negro educator of much prominence who was the foun der of an Industrial school at Colum bit, South Carolina, will deliver an address relative to the work among the colored youth of the South. The Parland-Newhall quartet vo calists and instrumental artists will be at the Chautauqua three days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 26, 27 and 28. Other features of the program for Monday and Tues day are still under consideration. Dr. Gunsaulus of Chicago will de liver a lecture on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 29. Capt.'Jack Crawford the poet scout will lecture on the evening of Friday 'August 31. The Kaffir Boys Choir will also be heard on this day. A Day For Soldiers. On Saturday September 1, Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith of Cambridge City will deliver an address and in the evening Mrs. Pickett, the widow of General Pickett leader of the famous Gettysburg charge that history gives hi3 name, will speak. The program for the last Sunday of the Chautauqua has not been fully determined upon but possibly the Rlcnmond May Fes tival chorus may be heard In special numbers. On Monday, September 3 (Labor Day) W. J. Clark, of South Bend will speak. His subject will be "Napoleon." May Secure Bryan. Mr. Shaw has hopes of being able to bring William J. Bryan to the Chautauqua but until his return from Europe nothing definite can be ar ranged. POLO FOR THE FUTURE Clarence Jessup Figures in Prospective New League of Ohio Cities. Palladium Soeclal.

MRS. MEEK BADLY BURNED PRANK OF GASOLINE STOVE Mrs. Meek Was Engaged in Baking and on Opening the Stove Door Wai Confronted by Puff of Flame Injuries Painful. ; Mrs. Harry Meek, wife of the Wayne Township Assessors was sevprolv thniip-h fnrtiinntlv nnt HancArously burned yesterday at herT, home southwest of the city as a result of a queer prank of a gasoline stove. Mrs. Meek was engaged in baking and had opened the door of the oven, as she had done several times just preceding the accident, when a puff of flame struck her in the face, and almost completely enveloped the upper part of her body. Mrs. Meek's son chanced to be in the kitchen and quickly realizing the danger in which his mother was placed managed to prevent the flame from igniting her dress. Mrs. Meek's face was very seriously burned, eye browa burned off and considerable of her hair scorched. Mr. Meek who was at the court house was summoned by telephone and with a physician start ed for home at once. Mrs. Meek was found to be suffer ing greatly from the burns but later in the afternoon was resting easily. Just what caused the flame to puff from the oven of the gasoline stove has not been determined, but it is supposed that therewas an accumula tion of gas which ignited when th

door was- opened, causing an explo sion. MURDERER MAY BE HERE Local Police are Asked to Assist Finding Italian Wanted at Detroit, Mich. in The Irwnl nnHf hnv hpn- nuked hv the Detroit, Mich., authorities, to al sist in the capture of Joseph Coruso, an Italian, who shot and killed Peter Bartolotti, another Italian,, in that city on the evening of June 3, yast. It is thought that Coruso is in this vicin ity, : The murderer, for whose arrest $100 reward is offered, is described as a heavy set man about thirty years of age, 5 feet 5 inches In height, dark mustache, his face badly pot marked When last seen he was wearing s black coat and a light rir of trous ers. It is thought that he 4iI seek emnloyment on some railroad ' con struction gang. BUSINESS IS INCREASING . . Freight Traffic on the Traction Linti , is Growing Beyond the Present Facilities. The interurban freight business has so increased during the past two months that it cannot be handled with the equipment now possessed by the roads in this city and much business is being refused on account of the fact that the facilities are too small. There are now two freight trains each way on the D. & W. and the I. and E. and each train usually consists of two or three cars. Car lots are run through from Indianapolis to Dayton or vica versa, but otherwise, all freight is transferred here. Several men are regularly employed at the local station, handling the freight. WiH Clark's New Gun. Will Clark the New Paris trap shooter, is the owner of a new gun recently received, which completely lays it over all the rest of the boys. It is a Remington Automatic and well snstalns its name. It Is of the single barrel, magazine type and the ejection of the old shell and reloading Is accomplished entirely by the recoil of the gun. Thus there is nothing for the shooter to do but to aim and pull the trigger. The gun does the rest.
