FIGURES ON TEMPERATURE.

The past w-ek was significant in that it brought the highest heat record ever recorded in Richmond for March. On last Friday the thermometer registered 84 degrees which will no doubt stand for some time. On the morning of last Tuesday a touch of variety was given to March by severe thunder and lightning. There were four clear days during the week and one was partly clear. The rainfall as less than half an inch. The high and low temperature follows :

(Matthew 21st chapter.) On this day in all Catholic churches palms are blessed and distributed to the faithful. Thursday of this week will be Maundy Thursday, a feast in memory of the Lord's last supper, when lie instituted the Holy Eucharist and washed His disciples' feet. During the mass on this day the bishop solemnly blesses the oils used in the administration of the sacraments. There is only one mass on this day in each church. The priest consecrates two hosts, one of which he receives and the other is placed in a chalice and carried in procession to an altar prepared for its reception. This depository is called "The Altar of Repose" or "The Sepulcher." Here it remains until Good Friday. Good Friday's Mass. Good Friday is sacred as commemorating the crucifixion of Christ. It was kept as a day of mourning, and of rigid festing and of special prayer in a very early period. In the Roman Catholic church the service of this day consists of what is called the mass of the presanctified, the sacred host not being consecrated on Good Friday, but reserved for the preceding day. The most striking part of the ceremonial of the day is the adoration of the cross. The. black covering is removed from the large crucifix, which is placed before the altar, and the en

tire congregation, beginning with the celebrant priest and his assistants, approach and on their knees reverently kiss the figure of the crucified Lord. The very striking office of Tenebrae (Darkness) is held on Friday as well as on the preceding two days. It consists of the matins and lands of the following day, and has this peculiarity that by the close all the lights In the church have been gradually extinguished, except one. which for the

It is evident that the traction mereer, effected the past week, and which includes the Richmond lines, is one of great significance. The merger was completed with the filing of articles of incorporation with the secretary of

i state. It is a gigantic deal Dy wmcn j uiany of the Indiana lines as well as lines in Ohio and Illinois, are taken

n by what is known as the Dolan-Mor-

gan-McGowan syndicate. Stock amounting to SiV ,00O has teen authorized together with .?10.00,ooo in bonds.

The company which will have control of the lines will be known as the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company. This company was organized some weeks ago by Indiana capitalists and a small amount of capital stock was issued for the purpose of constructing a through line between this city and Terre Haute. The capital stock is now raised to ?2o,000,000 and the merger will embrace the Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company, the Richmond Street and Interurban Railway company, the Indianapolis & Martinsville Traction company, the Indianapolis & Northwestern and the Indianapolis & Western Traction companies known as the Indiana syndicate lines. Some time ago the syndicate began negotiations for acquiring the property of the Terre Haute Traction and

Light company, and on Monday a proposition will be submitted to the owners of the property which it is expected will be accepted. This includes the Terre Haute property, the Sullivan. Clinton and Brazil traction lines and a line that is under construction from Terre Haute to Danville, 111. Will Build Extensions. Within the next few months many new extensions to the lines which are

! 1 -t .1 1 A. 1 ..J; -nr ill

under aireaay owueu uy me sjuuiumc win

be made and a number of new lines are being considered, according to a statement made by one who is interested in the new merger. Among the plaTis are the completion of a through line between Terre Haute nd Toledo. O., which it is thought will be effected within a year, and the extension of the Northwestern line from Crawfordsville Ind., to Danville, 111. The new company also expects to be running through cars between Toledo, O., and St. Louis, Mo., within eighteen months. Hugh McGowan. one of the heads of the consolidated lines, says that all of the properties will be built to the highest standard and the best service, as well as frequent, rapid schedule on ev

ery line, will be put into effect. He states that the newly organized company contemplates no action relative to a consolidation with the Indiana Union Traction company. He says that much of the stock wTill be purchased by Indianapolis capital. The men who are principally interested in the merger of the Indiana lines are Thomas Dolan. Randall Morgan and Harry Dixon of Philadelphia; W. Kelsey Schoepf of Cincinnati and Hugh J. McGowan of Indianapolis. It is reported that the presidency of the company will fall to Mr. McGowan.

FARM CONDITIONS ARE GOOD PORJHE SEASON A Cold Snap, However Would Damage Fruit.

FARMERS WELL VERSED,

Hagerstown, Ind., March 25 Farmers have not failed to take advantage

of the extraordinary weather of the

past two weeks and already have their

necessary spring work well advanced. The planting of oats, which is usually a precarious and unpleasant job, has this year been accomplished under ideal conditions, and consequently a

much greater acreage than common of

this profitable crop, has been planted. The fruit condition is not so satisfac

tory, for the buds on all varieties of

fruit trees and bushes are well advanced. A sharp cold snap is sure to work much damage, and that such cold weather will come is practically certain. The situation on all farms, according to observing farmers, is better than usually prevails at this early season. Improvements on buildings and land have

been made throughout the mild winter, livestock appears in excellent condition and farmers themselves have outlined practicable plans for the coming season's work. The rural telephone, free mail delivery and the interurban railroads have created an entirely different atmosphere about the farming communities. The mail brings periodicals of every description as well as the daily papers, and from these the up-to-date farmer gathers new ideas which he adopts in cases where they are beneficial. One farmer who receives much mail, gave it as his belief that many farmers were induced to subscribe for papers because they wanted to have the reputation of being great readers and advanced agriculturists, rather than mere farmers. According to this farmer's view, such men and their families are involuntarily benefitted through the Influence of the free mail delivery. Contrary to expectations the rural

mail business has not fallen off after

the first year of the service, but has

actually increased.

Holy Saturday is the day before Easter Sunday. On this day the newfire, the Paschial candle and the baptismal font are blessed. Easter, the feast of the resurrection, is kept in honor of the Lord's rising again from the dead by His own power on the third day after His crucifixion. It is kept on the first Sunday after the first full moon following March 21, and occurs sometimes a day, and sometimes a few weeks after that

, date. It is called Easter from "Orlens." which signifies the East or I Rising, and is one of the titles of

i Christ: "And His name shall be call

home on a vacation, from Wabash col

lege; Wiley Glass of Culver Military

Institute and Charles McClellan and

Monroe Voorhees, of Earlham.

No special chapel exercises were held

as is usual on Monday, but the school

was called together for the purpose of

organizing the athletic association for the rest of this term. A majority of the students signified their readiness

to join by signing the roll.

Tickets for the Y. M. C. A. benefit concert have been placed in the hands of any students wishing them. The

concert is to be held April 2, Prof.

Earhart stated that a large number

of tickets had been printed and h.e Is certain no trouble will be met with in disposing of t'hem. The people of

Richmond realize the ability of the

high school orchestra and ladies' cho

rus, which have been developed by Prof. Earhart, and they also realize the pressing need of the Y. M. C.'A. in

this city.

As the teachers wish to attend the

teachers' association meeting at In

dianapolis Friday, there win be no

school on that day.

On April 6th the local high school boys will go to Knightstown to play the high school base ball team of that

they hope to raise that number to 200

very soon. Business will be conduct

j ed in a different way from before as

several people have complained that

full reports of money paid in and

spent have not been made heretofore

The boy will not be responsible for the money hereafter, but three of the officers will countersign every order

he pays and thus avoid mistakes.

MUNICIPAL LIGHTING CONCERN HAS SOME BAD LUCK WHILE COMPLETING ITS IMPROVEMENTS. One of the two big reciprocating engines at the Municipal plant, which have been operated at the Municipal plant day in and day out ever since the plant began business, gave out early Sunday morning under the terrible strain it has been put to. About 2 o'clock Sunday morning, there was a loud report and a crash and the big engine, figuratively speaking, rolled over "all in, down and out." The piston head had been cracked in a hundred places, the big steel driving rod bent, the crank disk cracked and the loosening pin broken. All the street

lighting went out Immediately, but by ! heroic work, the high pressure side of j the engine was started after a half1 hours delay and lighting and power-'

were once more supplied. One Side Dismantled. The big engine has been completely

dismantled on its low pressure side

and considerable repairs will have tobe made before it can again be used.' This and the other reciprocating en-j

gine have been used constantly since j the plant started, without being given

an overhauling. It was impossible to

make repairs, owing to the fact that

the business of the plant would not permit it. The newr turbine engine will be ready to put into use about Wed

nesday of this week and Superintendent Rogers had planned to give the

crippled reciprocating engine a much needed vacation and overhauling as soon as the turbine was ready to "be operated. Dies on Home Stretch. "Seems funny that the big fellow, after going all these years and its temporary retirement only three or, four days' distant, should roll over and

GREAT RESULTS AND GOOD WORK CONTINUES.

Root Juice Has Proved Its Merit to Many.

Great

Many people of Richmond, as elsewhere are no longer incredulous, they are simply amazed at the results obtained from Root Juice. When the remedy was first introduced to this community and so many were being benefitted by a few doses, it was generally thought that the medicine would only give temporary relief, but as time passes and many that were ailing are no longer complaining, but are advising their sick friends to try Root Juice, confidence in the great medicine is becoming positive. Root Juice makes so many remarkable cures by removing a few causes and giving nature a chance. It tones and heals the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys; it creates a healthy appetite, and by its toning action on the blood-making and blood filtering organs, good, rich blood is made to nourish every weak part of the body. If your stomach, bowels, liver or kidneys are out of

order, they will be pleased to tell you

all about it at Luken's drug store

all that is claimed for it.
