AT THE HIGH SCHOOL It May Be Necessary for Some Of the Students to Do Their Studying at Home At the Garfield School. To more than 2,500 school children In the city of Richmond the summer is ended. The fishing tod, "Ole Swimmin Hole," and all thoe things which contribute fo much to the enjoyment of the Richmond youth during the heated months, has been relegated by them with a sigh, while the school book has been taken up and will reign supreme for the next nine months. Richmond's new teachers were in their places this morning. The build incs which have all been given a thorough cleaning and overhauling during the summer months, presented a cheerful appearance, far different from that which hundreds of pupils were no doubt prone to Imagine. Sev eral thousand of dollars have been hv thp nifhmond mihlic school board during the present sumrner in the wav of Improvements on the various ward school buildings that they mieht present nothing but the, hpst annearance on the opening dav. With excellent buildings, and what is still more important, an efflcient teaching corps, the year just beginning Is predicted to be the best in the history of the local schools, Superintendent Mott Is highly optimis tic In regard to the coming sessions and is particularly well pleased with the new instructors. Courses Not Much Changed. The courses of study for the coming year have been but little changed and remain practically the same as they did last year. Purlns the present semester, however, it Is asserted that a change will be promulgated in the hlch school course to take effect at the beginning of the spring term.

Principal D. I Ellabarger, of the generally overhauled during the sumhigh school who for the past few I mer months and presented a very neat

years has been confronted with the almost insolvable question of seating the hundreds of pupils registering there, was confronted with the same J problem this morning. It was estl-1 Tnated that there were at least four hundred students In their seats at the opening. They were seated Irrespeclive of their classes, as It was Impossible to seat the various csses together. At nine o'clock when the . . . students tooK tneir places, many ui them were compelled, to sit two in a seat owing to the cramped conditlons. Later In the day many othtl students enrolled still further crowdIng the building. May Study at Home. Prof. Ellabarger stated that he fear cd that he would have to make arrangements for a number of pupils tc do their studying at home, going only to the high school building for reclta tlons. With the cramped conditions Jt is thought that this will be more feasible and a better grade of work can be done than If all are cramped Into the old quarters. It is said that the commercial delb A-? 4.1 1 1 A (.licit, vi viujim. i v i xa:rartment of the high school, which is rapidly gaining much favor. It being J.

By continuing in school Ftudents secure a commercial education In the junior and -senior years, nlong with their other high school education and in addition to saving much time, many of them save much money. Xo new additions have been made to the commercial department since last year. Xo work was done in the schools the first day by the pupils as registration occupied the attention of hoth Instructors and pupils. In the afternoon the classes were arranged. Tuesday morning actual recitations and work will begin In earnest. AT GARFIELD BUILDING. About 280 Children Reported for the t Season's Work.

-- 1 B' I Vt i if", I INTEREST SHOWN III THAT DOLLAR The Palladium Coin Was Started on its Travels Saturday Evening. JUST NOW IT IS LOST. MISSION IS TO SHOW THE GOOD RESULTING FROM SPENDING MONEY AMONG THE LOCAL MERCHANTS. Unusual interest is being manifested in the journey taken by the Palladium dollar that was started into circulation last Saturday for the purpose of showing how much more good a dollar spent at home among local merchants does than when spent away from home. As was stated in Sunday morning's edition, the dollar which is to be the recipient of such distinction, I was spent by Foreman Frank Ringhoff j0f thlg 0ffjce at tne clothing store of j Rosenbloom & Buntin. From there the coin was paid out to an unknown man who Immediately spent it at the firm of Rost & Marshall During a rush at that store in the evening the . dollar was paid out In change to an unknown man accompanied by his wife. When the dollar was presented to him and he was told why the ring and card were attached, he at once entered into the spirit of the venture and said that he was glad to have a hand in proving the test. He and his wife immediately left the store of Rost & Marshall and went to the dry goods store of Lee B. Xusbaum. Mr. Xusbaum states that when the persons came into his store with the dollar, one of the young lady clerks waited on them, and when the dollar was presented in payment for the articles, the clerk took the dollar to Mr. Xusbaum and asked him whether or not to accept It. Mr. Xusbaum was busy at the time, and not knowing the details of the experiment, he said not to accept the coin, consequently the man and his wife left the store without "using it. Since that time no account has been received of the dollar, although many . inquiries have been made relative to it. The question now is, who has the dollar? If you have it, either spend it or else bring it to this office. This dollar is of nomadic disposition and don't want to remain still very long, so don't carry it about in your pocket. Since entering on its mission, this celebrated dollar has been the subject of. many Inquiries as to its travels. The people are interested in Its various moves and are desirous to see it successfully perform Its mission. MOTHER'S HEROIC EFFORT Drags Herself From a Sick Bed To Save Child.

Peter Muhl, a Prominent Resident of Hagerstown, Was Struck While Watching a Passing Freight Train.

TRUSS ROD BROKE AND CARS WERE SHIFTED. Wreck Occurred Near Scene Of the Fatal Accident of a Few Weeks Ago Property Loss Heavy. Hagerstown, Ind., Sept. lfi.-One of the most remarkable wrecks that ever occurred on the Pennsylvania lines near this place, happened yesterday afternoon, when a double-heaCer westbound freight train In charge of Conductor Oliver Thomas, was ditched at this place. It was remarkable that the lives of no trainmen were lost, while on the other hand the life of a well known citizen of Hagerstown, Peter Muhl. who was watching the train, was snuffed out in the twinkling of an eye. According to the story of several eyewitnesses, the train was going at a rapid rate and when Just a short distance east of the canal bridge, a truss rod broke underneath a car near the center of the train, and dropping to the rails began to play havoc with the track. After half of the train had passed over the first switch entering the yards, the switch lever in some manner became loosened and the switch was thrown, shifting the last seven cars and the caboose to the middle switch. .These eight cars carooned from side to side, tearing up the middle track as they went, and making kindling wood of themselves. Peter Muhl. who was killed, was standing at the crossing to watch the train pass and waved his hand at the fireman, Martin Abbott, a Hagerstown boy. Muhl, after a part of the train had passed and evidently hearing a dreadful racket toward the rear of the train, and seeing dust and debris flyinf, stepped over on the first switch In order to see what the trouble was, when the derailed cars hit a gondola standing on the side track and drove It over him, smashing his head to a pulp. Oliver Thomas, the conductor, was injured internally and was removed to his home in Richmond on a relief train. The wrecking crew responded promptly and by mid-night had the track cleared so that the Chicago express could pass. It is estimated that this wreck will cost the Pennsylvania about ..3o.M0. This wreck occurred within about one hundred yards of where the freight wreck occurred about three weeks ago. Peter Muhl had been a resident of this place ."0 years. His parents were Germans and from the old country. He was born In Pittsburg and at the time of his death was 6$ years old. His wife, who died four years ago was from (Continued on Tage Two.)

SPLENDID SERMONS ON SUBJECT OF EOUCAT St. Mary's Congregation Had Two, Sunday. PRELIMINARY TO SCHOOL St. Mary's congregation was treated to two splendid sermons Sunday on higher education. Father Mattlngly spoke at the 8 o'clock mass on the sub ject and Father Hoffman at the 1:.'J0 o'clock mass. "The wax in the Mas ter's hand," said Father Hoffman, "can be molded into an angel or a demon." So it is with youth Impressions made upon the youthful mind last through life, and all depends upon the hometraining of children. As they are in youth, so will they be In old age it Is but the natural trend of things. So great care ought to be exercised In the early training of children. The mind and the heart should be looked after; don't sacrifice one at the cost of the the boys as well as the girls. The for the boys as well as the Rirls. The boys are the future men, from whose ranks are seected presidents, senators, representatives, governors, etc. The men who are to conduct the affairs cf state. How zealously their education should be looked after! Kvery person Is not fitted by nature for higher edu cation, but see to it that those so blessed, receive it in great measure. It is easier to get a ten thousand dollar job than a ten dollar job, because there are so many ten dollar men and so few ten thousand dollar men. The need of today Is education In the full sense of that term. It Is demanded of the boy and girl of today, more especially of the boy. See that your boys and girls receive a christian education see to it that in educating the mind the heart is not left out of it the love of God and the reward of heaven. Then when your children come out of school they will be wholly educated and will reflect credit upon you long after you have passed away. The sermons were preludes to the opening of school today.

CONFLICTING REPORTS ARE NOW SET AT REST,

Mr. Watson Addresses a Let-' ter to the Palladium in Which He Gives His Side of "Interview" Controversy. James K. Watson, representative la congress from the Sixth district, today authorized the Palladium to announce : his candidacy for governor. This announcement will set at rest the many reports that have been In circulation the past month in reference to Mr. Watson's Intentions, great Interest being shown as to whether he would be ft J i candidate for governor or for con-ingress, j Mr. Watson addresses the following' letter to the Palladium, giving hit Bid of the controversy in reference to a re cent Interview: Rushvllle, Ind, Sept. 14, 1007. ' Editor Palladium: Some days ago a reporter represent ing the Palladium, Mr. Owen Kuhn, called on me t my office in Rushville,: and we indulged in a general conversation about my political ambition and what I intended to do with reference to the governorship. I did with him precisely what I have done hundreds ot times this summer, explained to him the advantages and disadvantages ot being governor, and the advantages and disadvantages of remaining in congretm. I discussed both sides and carefully avoided, as I thought, leaving any impression on his mind at to what I really Intended to do. Subsequently this talk appeared ml the Palladium In the shape of an inter-) view, and I may say In this connection,! substantially as It occurred. Thi headlines, however, made it appear! that I had lsoued a definite statement, that I was no longe'r an aspirant for the governorship, but that I Intended seeking a re-election to congress. Tlint nlcht t i a Irwllanaru-iM. 9tar In. .. -o - . - . . . , . . . , mmm- j dlanapolis News and the Cincinnati Enquirer tried for some time to reach me by telephone to ascertain whether! or not I had made the statement at-f tributed to me In the Palladium. A.!' Star reporter arrived In Rushvllle' about one o'clock at night and suc-j ceeded In finding me about three at ai neighbor's where I was stopping for the night. He said that it was too latn to make a statement that night, but that a Star reporter would call on mo next day and Insist on a statement bet ing made. He called up the manage of the Star, who said to me that It waf It was his Intention to publish the Pal Indium report, headlines and all, an that, because of the standing and In fluence of the Palladium, the artlcl In Question would take me out of th governorship race permanently, so that if I desired afterwards to enter It, it I would not be possible for me to do so. I On the next day a reporter appeared on the scene and I dictated the state- j ment to him that appeared In the Star, two days subsequent to the appearano of the article In the Palladium. If you will carefully read the article In the Star, and the one In the Palladium, you will discover a striking similarity, j for in both of these articles I Jeft the matter "in the air," and blmply stated i my real feelings with regard to the ! situation. The Interview In the Pal ladlum was substantially correct, as was,1 also the one In the Star, and the only objection I had to the Palladium article was found In the head lines, which made me say that I was not a candidate for the governorship, when I certainly had no intention of making that state-' ment. In Justice to the Palladium reporter, who Is evidently an honest young man, and wants to do the right thing, and la justice to the Palladium, as well as la Justice to myself, I desired to explain the situation to you. Very respectfully yours, JAMES E. WATSON. ACT WAS INTENTIONAL AND ALSO PREMEDITATED. Verdict of Coroner Bramkamp In The Case of Mrs. Rcss White Suicide. In his verdict Just filed with the county clerk. Coroner , Bramkamp ; maintained that Mrs. Ross White, the, woman who drank carbolic acid the; past week with ratal result, had done so intentionally, the act being premedl-' tated.
