UNIQUE JOURNEY BY HARRY I. MILLER

With Company of Friends He Toured the Mississippi In Pullman Cars. RICHMOND PEOPLE WENT. CARS WERE LOADED UPON BARGES AND THE TOURISTS ENJOYED ALL THE PRIVILEGES OF RAILWAY TRAVEL. When President Harry I. Miller of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad, formerly of Richmond, Ind., decided to tour the MississlDDi river in Pullman cars instead of a steamboat, he origi cated a novel form of outing that may become popular with railroad magnates who seek entertainment out of the ordinary. The unique Journey was made a few weeks ago by Mr. Miller and a party of friends, comprising several present and former residents of Richmond. Of course. It was a delightful trip, gliding leisurely down the broad bosom of the Father of Waters on a floating pleasure resort, with all the comforts of twentieth century travel. Mr. Miller's object was to combine pleasure with business upon a Southern trip. He loaded his two private cars upon a barge, engaged a -tow boat to furnish motive power and set Dfi upon his voyage down the river. At New Orleans the cars were landed, run upon railroad tracks again, and continued the Journey. Simple enough. But no one, it Beems, had thought of this unique form of outing- before, and so Mr. Miller is the pioneer of Pullman car jaunts on the water. The Pullman car-barge party was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Miller. Mr. J. F. Miller of Richmond, Ind., father of the C. & E. I. president, Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Hammond, Mr and Mrs. J. K. Dering, Mr and Mrs. R A. Jackson, all of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Kavanaugh of St. Louis, and Mrs. John Middleton of Louisville. Carrying the excursionists, two private cars left Chicago over the tracks of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. They were splendid vehicles, containing ev ery convenience and comfort. At Joppa is an inclined railway built down to the river and extending out over the water. Double track barges or car ferries are floated up to this extension, and by connecting the rails, railway cars are run on to the barges. One of the largest and finest river barges, the Louise Helen, a ten-car car Tier, 2SO feet long and 30 feet wide, had been chartered for the trip by Mr. Miller. To push the barge he se cured the transfer steamer C. H. Davis, the towboat pride of the Ohio and Mis sisslppi rivers. The two private cars were run on to the barge, and on it, too, were load ed four cars of coal for use of the towboat, and three large touring automo biles, in which the party could ex plore the country along the route. With all this load about one-third of the deck space on the barge was left free to be used as a promenade and dance platform. An orchestra was ta ken along to furnish music. Speaking of the trip. President Miller said: "Without dust, noise, smoke or other sources of bother, the trip down the river was ideal. We were able to Bit in our automobiles at the head of the barge and shoot or fish, as oppor tunity afforded. Wherever we stopper we were entertained with the great est hospitality. The barge made about twelve or fourteen miles an hour, and we had no accidents or trouble of any kind." Indianapolis Star. APPOSED TOGOOOWINE Governor Hanly Will Wage Relentless Warfare.

The only "thrill" in the weather conditions last week as passed out by the nearly always surprising weather man, was the cool nights during the latter part. The thermometer sank to thirty-eight degrees above zero Saturday night, or just sixteen degrees above the freezing point. The days have been warm while the nights have been so cool as to require heavy bed clothing. The maximum temperature for the week was eighty-five degrees Monday, while the minimummaximum temperature was 73 on Sat urday. The maximum-minimum temperature was 68 degrees on Monday while the lowest point which the mercury reached was Saturday when it registered 48 degrees. There were but two clear days during the week. Tuesday and Thursday.

COUNT STATE'S MONEY EVERY THIRTY DAYS The State Treasurer Goes Through $2,000,000. CHANGE ON DECEMBER 1ST. Few people in Indiana know that regularly at the first of each month, the money in the state treasury must be hauled from the big steel vaults in which it Is kept and counted. Counted It must be in order that the state treas urer may know wnetner or not nis act ual cash on hand tallies with the footings on his books. Sometimes the work of counting this money proves to be a herculean task. Sometimes It requires from one to three or four days in which to do the work. At other times it is done :n two or three hours. It depends upon the condition in which the money comes into the treasury. On the first of July State Treasurer Oscar Hadley and his deputies counted $2.000.X . However, the money was counted in about three hours time for the reason that over half of it consist ed of $l,OW bills. The rest was in gold and silver paper of smaller denominations. When the new depository law goes into effect Dec. 1, the counting of the money in the state treasury will be abolished, for the money will be depos ited in banks.

One of the principal features of this ANALYZING THE WATER SUPPLY OF INDIANA State Laboratory of Hygiene Has Begun Work. GOVERNMENT IS ACTIVE. The State Laboratory of Hygiene has begun the work of analyzing the water supply of the state, so that correct data may be compiled relative to the character of public water supplies in each city, with a view toward controlling in the future epidemics of disease. The laboratory also is doing considerable work along this line for the Government in connection with the investigations of Prof. Holt of the United States Geological Survey which is developing the water resources of the entire country. Prof. Holt has been at work in Indiana for some time, gathering samples of public water supplies in various parts of the state and sending them to the state laboratory, where under the direction of H. E. Barnard, pure food and drug commissioner, the water is analyzed and data compiled relative to its character. The nature of this data the Government will not disclose until the survey is completed. GOTHAM MOBS BEAT SOSPECTED PERSONS Citizens Aroused by Assaults Upon Women and Girls Wreak Vengeance. 50 ARE KURT IN A RIOT. BLACKS AND WHITES CLASH AT A BALL GAME WOMAN ATTACKED IN HOME AND MOST BRUTALLY BEATEN. New York, Aug. 5. Another murderous assault was added last night to the police record of recent crimes against defenseless women and girls. Last night's victim was Miss Ellen Bulger, of middle age, who was attacked in her apartments in the Bronx cruelly beaten and. left in a helpless state. The woman was removed to a hospital, where it was found that her skull had apparently been fractured, her face and hands lacerated and her body otherwise bruised. There was evidence that the woman had made a courageous fight. From what the police were able to learn from her, she was surprised by a smooth-faced stranger, perhaps 40 years of age. He was coatless and wore an outing shirt and dark trousers. He escaped. Just before Miss Bulger was assaulted George Kethner, a Russian, charged with attempted assault upon an 8-year old girl, was set upon by a crowd of men and all but killed. The clothes were torn from his body and he was taken to a station fcouse ..zapped in a blanket. Another mob set upon Hylo Saloda, an Indian palmist, who was similarly accused, and only the timely intervention of police reserves saved him from summary punishment. . The fighting element among, the whites and blacks in the vicinity of One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street and Fifth avenue, lined up according to their racial prejudices again Sunday, this time to settle a ball dispute.! and when the argument was ended 50 persons required medical treatment and two will die. Probably 5.000 persons took part in the fight and it took 200 policemen to disperse the mob. CHICHESTER'S PILLS l no K-r- inM I'll) ia Kr4 as4 4.. !, Maicd vita Bli 1 ... atavr.

reunion will be the dedication of the memorial marker which will take place on Aug. 6, the address to be delivered by W. F. McXagny of Columbia City. The marker is a boulder weighing seven tons, which has lain near the academy for years. The" academy was a two-story brick structure, erected in 1S67, and for seven years it thrived as an institution of learning. During that time nearly 300 students attended. Of this number nearly 200 survive, but are scattered in every direction. Some have gained prominence in the different professions. DIVIDE THE CHILDREN DY ORDER OF COORT Florence Benbow Given a Divorce by Judge Fox. TELLS A PITIFUL STORY. Florence Benbow was granted a divorce in the circuit court from James Benbow. Mrs. Benbow testified that it was unsafe for herself and three children to live with Benbow because of his hard drinking and she also testified that Her husband had twice threatened to kill himself and the children. Notwithstanding this testimony Mrs. Benbow only asked for the custody of the youngest child, a girl, and her attorney. Henry U. Johnson, suggested that Benbow be awarded the custody of the two oldest children. This action was taken by the court with the approval of John F. Robbins, who appeared for Benbow. Mrs. Benbow stated that she had been married to Benbow for ten years and during that time he had gone on sprees- about twice a year. The past six months, she stated, he had got drunk ever pay day. which is twice a month. When drunk, she stated he cursed her, had twice threatened to kill himself and children, and had twice broken the furniture. One night he went on such a violent tirade that the next door neighbors knocked on the wall for silence. She stated that this caused Benbow to leave the house -with a threat that he would never return again. Benbow said that he was back in five minutes. His vicious actions when intoxicated, Mrs. Benbow stated, hd wrecked her ner vous system. She said that one night she became so frightened at his ac tions that she had chills.

LIFE THREATENED OV UNUSUAL HURT John Ellis, Aged Eighteen, Was Struck on the Head by Pitched Ball.

CONVULSIONS DEVELOPED. ONE OPERATION PERFORMED TO REMOVE PRESSURE FROM THE BRAIN BUT A SECOND MAY BE NECESSARY. One of the most unusual case that has reached Reid Memorial hospital in this city since its establishment is that of John Ellis, Jr., 18 years of age son of John Ellis of Greensfork. Young Ellis Sunday, July 2-8, while playing base ball with the Greensfork team against Hagerstown, in his home town was struck in the head by a pitched ball and he then became unconscious. He regained his senses however and apparently was suffering no evil effects from the accident, although complaining a few times of an aching head. Saturday he went Into violent convulsions. The parents of the boy were great ly alarmed, as they suspected the injury which the boy had received the Sunday previous was responsible. Dr. Charles Marvel of this city was called to Greensfork where he performed the exceedingly difficult surgical oper ation of trephining the skull to relieve the pressure upon the boy's brain. This was successful and the convulsions ceased. The lad, still in precarious condition was removed to the local hospital Sunday and since his arrival there, has been suf fering with a series of slight convulsions. In case the first operation proves not wholly satisfactory, the second will be performed and a portion of tho lad's skull removed. A blood clot on the brain is considered the cause of the boys suffering. He is in a critical condition. ANOTHER BLOW EOR RIG OIL MONOPOLY Unfair and Illegal Methods Alleged in Commissioner's Report. PRICES AND PROFITS GROW. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IS INFORMED THAT STANDARD'S PROSPERITY HAS FOUNDATION IN WRONG DOING. Washington. Aug. 5. The Standard Oil company and its methods are han died without gloves in the latest oil in dustry report of Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, submit ted to President Roosevelt today. The present report deals with prices and nrofits. It is accompanied by a letter from Mr. Smith to tne president, in which the commissioner makes a scathing summary of the facts found in the report. In concluding his letter Mr. Smith gives a resume of the facts he holds proved facts which make the Stand ard Oil appear in a more unenviable light than ever. Bitter in Denunciation. "The following facts are proved. says Mr. Smith, as the climax of his letter. "The Standard has not reduc ed margins during the period in which it has been responsible for the prices of oil. During the last eight years covered by this report (1S0S to 190C, it has raised both price and margins. Its domination has not been acquired or maintained by its superior effi ciency, but rather by unfair competi tion and by methods economically and morally unjustifiable. The Standard has superior efficiency in running its own business; it has an equal efficiency in destroying the business of compet itors. It keeps for Itself the profits of the first and adds to these the mo nopoly profits secured by the second. Its profits are far above the highest possible standard of a reasonable com mercial return, and have been steadily increasing. "Finally, the history of this great In dustry, is a history of the persistent use of the worst industrial methods, the exaction of exorbitant prices from the consumer, and the securing of ex cessive profits for the small group of men who over a long series of years have thus dominated the business." ALOtIZO G. SMITH IS DEAD He Was Formerly Attorney Genera! of Indiana. Indianapolis, Aug. 5. Alonzo Green Smith, former attorney general of In diana, died here today after a long illness.
