Governor. Harris of Ohio Is exemplifying. the simple life. When-tho message reached Eaton thaj Governor Pattlson was dead and that General Harris by reason thereof became the "executive of the commonwealth, the veteran was found at his farm attired j In overalls, assisting to lay the foun- : dation of the barn. He left his work, went ,to Columbus the next day. returned to Eaton that night and spent Wednesday on thq barn foundation. Yesterday he attended the funeral of Governor Pattlson and today probably will be on the barn again. Ho does not Intend to let ,the governorship ( bother him until that barn Is com-

Tho Richmond boy of twelve who ran away from home In an attempt to "side step" saying "a piece" at the closing exercises of school, has a mind of his own. He will be' heard from later on.

Let us hope that the government

WAYflE COUNTY'S YIELD OF WHEAT

Estimate of Acreage Placed at

26,641 for the Present Reason.

A GAIN OVER LAST YEAR

CROP IN EVERY PART OF INDI

ANA WILL BE LARGER THAN ANTICIPATED IS IS BELIEVED. PERCENTAGE OF GAIN.

Wayne County's wheat crop this

season will be large, the approximate

acreage being 26.500 according to the estimate of the State statistician, and

the yield may reach 350,000 bushels.

A conservative estimate of the

wheat yield for Indiana this year, based on the present outlook, both

from the standpoint of development

and the acreage shown, is that the yield will be more than 30,000,000 bushels. The acreage this year Is larger than that of last year, but the pros

pects for the yield are not as good.

Last year Indiana raised 29,809,521 bushels.

Indiana had the lowest acreage of

wheat In 1905 that It has had In many

years, but the yield was , the most bountiful in ten years, being 18.13

bushels an. acre. Tliis year, however, the farmers have followed the. usual

Indiana custom of following the large yield with increased acreage.

The state statistician has selected

twenty counties geographically distributed over the state and In these twenty counties has compared the acreage in 1905 and l506.

Following is the wheat acreage for

1905 'and 1906, and the percentage of gain:-

INSURANCE RATES WILL GO HIGHER

The Indiana Underwriters will

Soon Add to Present Schedule.

RICHMOND NOT NOTIFIED

PROBABLE, HOWEVER, THAT OR

DER WILL BE ISSUED AT AN

EARLY DATE FRISCO FIRE

THE CAUSE.

Fire Insurance rates in Indiana

cities will likely be raised by the un derwriters f rom , 20 . to 50 per cent

The raise does not include residences,

but is' effective on ; business buildings, factories and certain mercantile

stocks. ' Mercantile stocks have been

raised. in. some. cases .20, per cent.

Sawmills and other bad risks are also included in the new schedule. As

the result of a recent meeting of -the underwriters in New York, following the iSan Francisco disaster, it was decided to raise the rates all over the country. The cause . for , this action on the part of the underwriters Is said to be the great flres which have raged in the country during the past year, culminating in' 'the Sani Francisco earthquake and fire.

Ill LOVE WITH -TEXAS

WALTER' JONES' TRIBUTE

Former Richmond Boy Tells of the

Beauties and Wonders of the Lone Star State.

Walter E. Jones, formerly of Rich

mond, now a resident of Waco. Tex., writes to the Palladium of the beaut

ies and wonders of the lone star State.

Thip is the way Walter tells of it:

"Texas is a whopper. She is a

peach. She's the widest, broadest and longest country on earth, extending from east to west and also from north to south. She could put Rhode Is

land In her vest pocket She could swallow three or four states like Maryland, and wash 'em down by drinking the Mississippi dry, and

could digest 'em without eVen having

the colic. Texas is the empire State

of the Union without any Kaiser

Bill for an Emperor. She's the chlef-

est among 10,000 and altogether lively,

wild, reckless. She's the pebble on the beach. She's one of the old blue hen's chickens. She's -the cock of the walk and the democrat of the world.

She's a wolfe, and It's her day to howl. Texas is bounded on the east by the alligators of Louisiana and huckelberry thickets of Arkansas. She is bounded on the north by the tomahawk and the war .whoop of the red man. She is bounded on the west

by the chill con came of New ' Mexi

co and the hot tamales of Old Mexico.

She is bounded on the south by the Gulf of Mexico and if it wasn't for that measly " body ' of , salty water she

would extend beyond itnesoutn roie

As I said in the be ginning, Texas is

a whopper; she is a Jim Dandy, but

with all this said, She can't come up to that glorious Stte of Indiana."

DAYTON PICNICKERS HERE

Two Hundred and Fifty Sunday School children Spent Yesterday at Glen Miller.

Two hundred and fifty children representing the Sunday School of the First Presbyterian church of Dayton, came to Richmond yesterday on special interurban cars and spent the day at Glen Miller park. The visitors were enthusiastic over the beauties of the park and thy spent an, Joyable day there.

, No Action , Here Yet. James W. Wilson, secretary of the Richmond board, said to the Palladium yesterday that he had not received any. official notice that the rates in Rlclimond will be raised, but on certain classes of risks he believes there will be changes from the present schedule. Lafayette is one of the Indiana cities in which notification has been received to increase the rates and it is likely that the order soon will be promulgated . in other parts of the

state.

Publishers' Press!

Philadelphia, Pa.. June 21. Mrs.

Charles Muth, mother of little Fred

Muth, for whose abduction Joseph

Kean. was sentenced to twenty years in prison yesterday, is now nearly as weak from joy as she was from fear

that her boy was to be poisoned.

As the .people begin to realize the

great sacrifice Mr. Muth made to re

cover his boy he is becoming more and more a hero. Many who were in

favor of horsewhipping him for allow lng the newspapers or rather having them print a bogus story so as to throw the kidnaper off his guard are now warmer In their praise than they

were severe in their denunciation

This city was taken by the ears

when the press announced (that Mr

Muth was the kidnaper of his own boy. They did not realize .that ;he was grasping at' a last straw; that another message had come, from the abductor saying -he .was .going .to poison the boy at once unless the police were called off. It was then Muth told the chief of detectives to have the newspapers make him out any sort of -villain; say there was a woman in the case, or anything they pleased so long as he got his boy. And well did the

scheme work. Once he thought he

was no 'longer suspected and that the

police were searching for another

man, as the papers stated, Kean em

erged only to be captured, and his

youthful captive was soon at liberty

This is why the people of Philadelphia

refer to Muth as their hero.

BEVERIDGE IS PLEASED

INDIANA SENATOR FEELS THAT

MEAT BILL AS PASSED BY THE HOUSE THIS WEEK IS SATISFCTORY. , )

By W. A. Crawford.) Washington, June 21. These, in

deed, are prosperous times. The Postoffice Department is considering the advisability of equipping the rural free delivery mail carriers with automobiles, and to that end a firm in Mas

sachusetts has sent on one of its

devil-wagons" to make a summer

test over some of the rough roads In Maryland and Virginia. A second

test will be made next winter under

the most severe conditions, and If the machine stands up under the ordeal,

Uncle Sam may utilize the cars on his

country mail routes.

Senator Beveridge is highly pleased

with the meat inspection bill as pass

ed by the House this week. He had a long talk with President Roosevelt

concerning it cn the day of its pas

sage, and when the Indiana statesman left the white house- he was dis

tinctly delighted.

"The President has won a great vie

tory in the House." said Mr. Bever

idge. "They have restored every im

portant Item, have put back every one

of the teeth they pulled out of my

bill. One of the teeth put back, it is true, is not quite so sound as it was

when : pulled, but the filling is not in

artistic and it is still a good tooth

and will be of service."

The bill provides, among other

things, that the entire expense of in spection at the various packing estab lishments shall be borne by , the gov' ernment.

Representative Chaney of Indiana,

has introduced a measure in the

House appropriating $20,000 for a mon ument to Major General - Henry W.

Lawton. The noble old warrior sleeps

In the National Cemetery at Arlington

and it is inteded that the monument

shall be erected . in , one of the Wash

ington parks.

For the 'steenfh time within the

last -eight months the report has bob

bed up again In official circles that At

torney-General Moody is about to announce his . retirement. He, will not surrender his portfolio for several

months, however, and according, to the

rumor, Charles J. Bonaparte, secreta

ry of the Navy, will succeed him

Rumor then jumps , the broad Atlantic

to find in George V. L. Meyer, ambassador to Germany, a successor to

Mr. Bonaparte. Through it all Mr.

Moody merely looks wise and refuses

to affirm or deny the story.

Because a low browed trust has mo

nopolized the manufacture of khaki

cloth and holds the secret of the dye

Uncle Sam is considering the advisa

bility of abandoning khaki . altogether

as the dress for his fighting men, and

of returning to the olive drab service

uniform. This ' probably will be

done, at least, so far as the troops at

home are concerned; those over-sea are to be garbed in the dusty brown

uniforms as at present. The corpora

tion manufacturing the cloth ; is said

by the war department : to : be so far

behind : in its orders that the army

and organized militia have been greatly embarrassed. The quartermastergeneral of the army has recommended

that the change be made and Secre

tary Taft has the matter under consid

eration.
