MEANS A NEW BUILDING.

ACTION WILL MEET WITH GENERAL APPROVAL WAY HAS BEEN BLOCKED BY MEMBER OF ADVISORY BOARD.

Superintendent Charles Jordan, of the county schools has received a Ions distance message from Dr. J. N. Hurty. secretary of the state board of health, stating that he has condemned the school building at Greensfork because of its unsanitary condition. Condemnation notices have been shipped from Indianapolis and will within a day or two be posted on the school building. Dr. Hurty's action means that the unsightly old school building which has been in use for years anl utterly unfit to be used as a school house, must be torn down and a new one erected in its place in time for. tha opening of the schools next September. " Will Meet With Approval. About a month ago Dr. Hurty. at

the request of Greensfork people, made a personal inspection of the building. His notification that the building has been condemned, comes as no surprise and will meet with the approval of the majority of the residents of Greensfork. Trustee Boyd of Clay township has favored the abandonment of the old building and the erection of a newone on the present site, but he has been powerless to take any action toward carrying this plan into effect, owing to the fact that one of the members of the township advisory board opposed the abandonment of the old building. As a result of this advisor's stand Dr. 'Hurty was appealed to.

SCHOOLS INjOOD SHAPE Just Now There Is Nothing to Disturb the Work.

THE ROOMS ARE ALL OPEN.

The condition of the city scjools at the present time is better than it has been for some months in that all school rooms are open and there are no teachers off duty. The pupils too are practically all in their places, there being but few cases of sickness among them. The work is moving along nicely.

REV. A. G.NEAL GIVEN A CORDIAL WELCOME,

Alexandria. Ind., April 2-". More than three hundred citizens of this city regardless of religious affiliation, gathered at the M. E. church to welcome the Rev. A. G. Neal, who has been returned by the conference to this city, and who has established himself as a very popular minister. The Rev. Mr. Neal was formerly located at Richmond.

Every bank and trust company in the city is today examining their securities. DouglaV easy robbery of the company for which he worked, opened the eyes of bankers.

"BOSS" COINS A FACTOR Figures in Theatricals as Well As Politics.

RENTABLE . HOUSES III GREAT DEMAND III QUAKER CITY This Will Be Greatly Increased As Soon as tha Additions to The Various Factories Have Been Completed

LARGE INCREASE IN POPULATION TO RESULT.

It Is Believed That Building of Houses That Would Rent at

A Reasonable Figure Would

Be Good Investment.

The demand for empty houses in this city is great at the present time, but the conditions now are nothing to

what they will be as soon as the new

additions are completed to several of

the large factories of the city. Per sons from neighboring towns and cit

ies are constantly coming to Richmond

to secure homes, but as there are prac

tically no empty houses within the city

limits, it is impossible for the real es

tate dealers of the city to accommo

date them with houses. Several such

families have been compelled to board and room until an' empty house was

available.

According to the statements of a

prominent real estate dealer houses renting for Jjl. to $" per month are

scarce as the proverbial hen's tooth,

while bouses renting for less are not

available, generally speaking at any price.

Good Investment Possible. A man having a .considerable amount

of money for investment, according to the theory of the man referred to, could do no better than build several houses for cheaper rent, as he could command a good figure each month in rentals. The - same rule would hold good with houses which rent for more.

Owing to the demand for "houses 5n

Richmond, the rents as a whole have

increased to a considerable extent and it frequently occurs that after a family vacates a house the rent is raised on the next one coming in, as it can be easily secured and not much

thought of it. The only relief in sight

is the building of more houses.

It is estimated that within the next

year there will be at least four hundred workingmen come to Richmond to take places in 'ie factories and as

a general rule these men are heads tff

families. Within another year probably as many more will come and where they can get accommodations

as matters stand at present, the real

estate dealers are not willing to ven

ture a guess. Big increases are to be

made in the forces at the Hoosier

Drill and Starr piano factories and the

workmen must be cared for.

As yet the Adam H. Bartel company has heard nothing from the residents cf the little village of Lynn in regard to the establishment of a branch concern in that city. The whole proposition rests upon the citizens of that place as they have to secure twentyfive girls to sew in the factory, before the local company will equip it.

HENRY C. STARR IS ON THE PROGRAM. Hammond's new postoffice building, which has been erected at a cost of $163,000, and which is said to be the finest in the 6tate, is being dedicated today. Henry C. Starr of Richmond is on the program.

Prosecutor Jessup in circuit court

charged Jim Phillips, who was arraigned ozi a charge of selling liquor to George Reigle on Sunday, with be

ing one of three men who placed firebrands at the homes of William poney and other Cambridge City residents, who took active parts in a moral crusade in that city last March. Phillips was placed in the county jail March 11 on the charge to which he plead guilty, and for forty-five days he has been an inmate of the county bastile. Judge Fox fined Phillips ?23 and costs so for the next thirty-five days Phillips will continue to board with Sheriff Meredith. Statement by Prosecutor. Pauper Attorney P. J. Freeman is fated to the court hat Phillips had been in jail a long time awaiting the hearing of his case and suggested that he had had enough punishment for the offense he was charged with. Judge

Fox seemed to think that Phillips had received sufficient punishment but Prosecutor Jessup then stated that Phillips was one of the men who had placed firebrands at the doors of the Cambridge City reformers, which was meant as a threat to burn their homes unless these men took less active part in the reform movement. The prosecutor also stated that Phillips is a menance to the community and that the best place for him would be the jail. After hearing this statement of facts Judse Fox decided to allow Phillips to remain in jail a little longer. A Denial at First. When Phillips was arrested . for "boot-legging" liquor to Reigle, Sunday, March 10, he stoutly denied the charge and was lield at the county jail pending the investigation of his case by the grand jury. Up to the present time the grand jury has not had the case called to its attention and Phillips, wearying of jail life, fin

ally gave in and stated that lie was j Cleveland. O.. April 'St. Marcus ready to admit his guilt.

Suit for divorce on the grounds of abandonment has been filed in the cir

cuit court by Charles Frankenburg rgainst Wildie Frankenburg. Doth are well known residents of western Wayne county. Mrs. Frankenburg resides at Pennville and her. husband lives on his farm north of Penult is understood on reliable infoi tion that the extremely opposite religious beliels of Mr. and Mrs. Frankenburg are directly responsible for the domestic difficulties, which now have reached such an acute stage that the two, who have been married several years, have decided to sever their life partnership. Hearing Will be Interesting. Mrs. Frankenburg Is a Seventh Day Adventist and in common with ether members of the. sect believes that the Lord's day falls on Saturday. Mr. Frankenburg has been reared to the belief that the Lord's day falls on Sunnay. Mrs. Frankenburg, while she and her husband lived together, strongly opposed her husband working on Saturdays while he did not approve of Mrs. Frankenburg's constant refusals to observe Sunday as the Lord's day. Two years ago the religious dispute between husband and wife reached a climax when Mr. Frankenburg employed a few men to do some work about the farm on a Sfturday. This so angered Mrs. Frankenburg that she tleft her husband "and has never sfnee lived with him. The hearing of the divorce case promises

to be most Interesting as the unusual points in the case will be brought out.
