MUST ASK HIM ABOUT IT. Prosecutor has 'no authority TO CONTINUE CASES AND DOES NOT CLAIM TO HAVE SUCH authoritV.

Frank Schroeder was to have been tried this morning in the city court on a charge of having committed an asBault and battery on his brother-in-.law, Henry Issen. Owing to the fact 'that Attorney H. C. Robbins, who had been retained to represent Schroeder, failed to put in an appearance in court the case had to be indefinitely : postponed. There was a large number of witnesses at the city building, several of them shop men who had been obliged to lay off from work. These witnesses were kept at the city building for over two hours awaiting the arrival of Mr. Robbins. Every effort .wasmade to locate the missing counsel by telephone but without success. John F. Robbins was finally located and he stated that he had nothing to do with the case, having turned it over to Byram Robbins, who is his law partner. Judge Converse has reached the end of his patience in regard to the manner in which a large number of the local attorneys continually fail to appear at the city court at the stated time in cases in which they are to appear. Aftr using the telephone several times this" morning in an effoU to locate Attorney H. C Kolihins Judge Converse stated that in the future if any attorney desired to have the f earing of a case postponed he must appear in court and petition the court to take this action, not nek the prosecutor to have the ense continued as Mr, Hobbins d'.rl. Judge Converge stated that the prosecutor had no authority to take such action and Mr. Jessup informed Judge Converse that he told Mr. Robbins that he did not have this authority. RETURNS TO MT.

COMMERCIAL

COURSE

PBOVESJTTRACTIVE Increased Attendance on This And Manual Course. ADAPTED TO LIFE WORK. Increased attendances in the commercial and manual training courses in the city schools indicates that there is a rapid tendency among Richmond youths to take only those things in school which they can adapt to their life's vocations. The manual training j department at Garfield school is at tractive and there is much interest being shown in the courses offered there. Although the course is not as extended as the school authorities would like, the students eagerly absorb what they can get. The commercial courses at the high school are marked by large and enthusiastic classes. ROBBERS SECURED ONLY SMALL Sll WORK Blew a safe and Got But Twenty-two Cents. MADE ESCAPE SAFELY.

Milton, Ind., Oct. 3 The Ladies Aid society of the Christian church quilted at the home of Mrs. Richard Sills, Wednesday afternoon. TRANSFORMATIONS Curious Results When Coffee Drinking Is Abandoned. It is almost as hard for an old coffee toper to quit the use of coffee as it is for a whiskey or tobacco fiend to break off, except that the coffee user can quit coffee and take up Postum without any feeling of a loss of the morning beverage, for when Postum is well boiled and served with cream, it is really better in point of flavour than most of the coffee served nowadays, and to the taste of the connoisseur it Is like the flavour of fine, mild Java. A great transformation takes place in the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee is left off and Postum used, for the reason that the poison to the nerves caffeine has been discontinued and in its place is taken a liquid food that contains the most powerful elements of nourishment. It is easy to make this test and prove these statements by changing from coffee to Postum. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." ,

ENRAGED FARMERS SEARCH

A POSSE IS IN PURSUIT OF THE TRAMP AND IF CAUGHT, HE WILL BE LYNCHED BY THE SAME METHOD THE BOY DIED. Oquawka, 111., Oct. 3. Because he had been refused food, an unknown tramp took horrible vengeance, beating Mrs. John Hathaway to unconsciousness and then tying her 4-year-old son to a tree and burning him to death. Enraged farmers and citizens of this place are scouring the country today for the murderer, threatening to execute him as he did the boy. Mrs. Hathaway, whose home is two miles from here, lay unconscious for an hour after the assault of the tramp. The latter meanwhile took her son into the orchard, where he tied the lad to an apple tree, saturated the clothing with oil and set the garments on fire and then left. Recovering consciousness, the mother went in search for her child, finding him fearfully burned, but still breathing faintly. The child lingered till 9 o'clock last night when death came. THE REAL CHINESE GONG. It Makr an I'proar as Awful am It Is AntonishinK. By the way, did you ever hear a real Chinese gong? I don't mean a hotel goug, but one of those great moon disks of yellow metal which have so terrible a power of utterance. A gentleman in Bangor north Wales, who had a private museum of south Pacific and Chinese curiosities, exhibited one to me. It was hanging amid Fiji spears beautifully barbed with sharks' teeth, which, together with grotesque New Zealand clubs of green stone and Sandwich Island paddles wrought with the baroque visages of the shark god, were depending from the walls; also there were Indian elephants in U ory, carrying balls n their carven bellies, each ball containing many other balls inside it. The gong glimmered pale and huge and yellow, like the moon rising over a southern swamp. My friend tapped Its ancient face with a muffled drumstick, and it commenced to sob like waves upon a low beach. He tapped it again, and it moaned like the wind in a mighty forest of pine.;. Again, and it commenced to roar, and with each tap the roar grew deeper and deeper till it seemed like thunder rolling over an abyss in the Cordilleras or the crashing of Thor's chariot wheels. It was awful and astonishing as awful. I assure you I did not laugh at it at all. It impressed me as something terrible and mysterious. I vainly sought to understand how that thin disk of trembling metal could produce so frightful a vibration. He informed me that it was very expensive, being chiefly made of the most precious metals, silver and gold. From "Life and Letters of Lafcadlo Hearn." BURNING IN EFFIGY. A. Custom Horn of the Superstition of the Ancients. The burning of people In effigy has come from a foolish superstition of the ancients, who believed that by burning a likeness of a person they were Inflicting pain upon the Individual himself. Theocritus tells us that the Greek sorcerers killed their enemies by magic rites performed over the effigy of the person who had offended them, and Virgil also makes mention of this. In the days of witchcraft and persecution one of the most common charges against witches was that they made waxen images of their enemies which they melted before a fire and thus caused the dissolution of the originals. The Japanese still regard the effigy as a means of punishment of faithless lovers, and in France to the time of the first revolution execution by effigy was a legal rite. In the Netherlands the same illogical custom prevailed, and the different religions burned the effigies of each other's leaders with zeal. In England the burning of effigies was also practiced, as it was later in America. No doubt from the ancient custom of burning the effigy arose the idea of placing the wax figures of eminent men in Westminster abbey. In olden times upon the death of a celebrity a waxen figure representing him fully dressed as in life was made and carried in the rear of the funeral procession. After the service the effigy was set up in the church as a temporary monument, and during the time it was on exhibition it was customary to paste or pin pieces of paper containing complimentary epitaphs upon it. The royal figures in Westminster abbey date back to the fourteenth century. New York Tribune. Stanley the Explorer. Although the fever of African exploration did not seize upon Henry M. Stanley until after he found Livingstone, when the example set by the latter fired the Welshman's ambitions, there can be little donbt that Stanley was a born explorer. Otherwise he would scarcely have been able to accomplish those arduous journeys which enabled him to fill up an enormous blank in the map of Africa. Stanley's discoveries wei-e of the greatest political importance and led to the founding, among other things, of what is now the Kongo Free State. His ultimate discovery of Erain Fasha furnished a magnificent illustration of Stanley's indomitable courage and perseverance. London Mall.

Again we call your special attention to rne famon "Mallory" Cravenette Hat. You'll see some on display in our hat window, but to really appreciate the beauty of these head pieces it's necessary to try them on in front of a mirror where the eyes can see the advantage of wearing the popular priced Mallory. The other day we heard a fellow say: "I bet the Mallory hat will have a lower crown this Fall." True. Good guess. They are a trifle lower, but how different. The brims are lighter and possess the curl of smartness real New York. There are Derbies, Alpines. Crushers, Opera and Silk Hats. Come in, please and try on a few.

"THE HOUSE OF IROENBL(D))M,

THE RAILWAY PAY CAR Romance That Hung About It In the Good Old Days. WATCHING FOR THE YELLOW The Appearance of the Brightly Varnished Gold Colored Palace on Wheels Always an Event on the Road The Present Check System. "Railroading isn't any fun any more. Sordid commercial folk in Wall street, with never an Idea in their noggins but to invest money and make it pay dividends, have improved all the romance out of life on the rails," writes a correspondent of the American Magazine in commenting on the present system of paying off railway employees. "Ah, no! Railroading isn't what It used to be. But if those Wall street money grubbers 'had only left us the pay car all else could have been forgiven. Do you remember how In the good old days the decrepit jokes about what was to be done when the pay car came were taken out of the moth balls along about the 10th of the month and dusted off and put through their paces? How, toward the loth a feeling of sprightliness gradually stole over every one from the wipers in the roundhouse to the lucky dogs who had passenger runs? How this exuberance swelled in volume as anticipation became more keen until toward the ISth everybody went about with a broad grin and nerves all fl-tangle, the way you feel when the orchestra is playing the creepy music to accompany the villain's midnight assault with intent to kill? How, still later, everybody drifted down to the depot about four times a day to ask the station agent if he had heard anything about the pay car until he grew as crabbed as a sitting hen? How, about the 22d, the waiter girls at the depot hotel would give you a saucy wink and bring you a great, juicy, melting, extra special wedge of pie you didn't order for dessert, along with the Ice cream and nuts and. raisins and fruit and pudding and Bhortcake you did order? Those girls knew how to work a fellow for tips about pay day, didn't they? "At last, one day as you were letting 'em down the hill into the junction, the operator pulled his train order signal on you. Your heart leaped into your throat because you knew well, you just felt it in your bones. You went down the side of the car without knowing how you did it and sprinted for the switch to head 'em in on the passing track and then flew to the station on winged feet, leaving the engineer to hold 'em with the driver brakes or let 'em run out at the lower end, as he chose. And the grumpy old curmudgeon stopped 'em beautifully, without so much as saying 'boo,' when on any other occasion he would have unloosed a torrent of vituperation that would have set the ties ou fire, and would have followed it up by heaving a monkey wrench at you if you had been in range. "There behind the counter was the old man, looking over the shoulder of the operator, who was spelling out the order without breaking oftener than every second word: "'Train No. 7, Conductor Flatwheel. Engineer Poundem, will meet pay car special, Conductor Linkenpin, Engineer Moriarty, at Emerson. "Such an air of nonchalance as Old Man Flatwheel did assume as he turned away to discuss with the hind man the advisability of making a switch of that through car of corn next the engine, to get it behind the way cars, so we wouldn't be bothered with it at Lyons in doing our work on those heavy grades, and affected to forget that he was getting orders until the operator called him over to sign them. He was so slow about his .signature that before the dispatcher's O. K. was received you looked out of the big bay window and saw th section gang that WM-yorJagg im bgnd tfce.T thrpw

Two short blaston a whistle greeted the gang; th vision hesitated for a minute, whih the section men disappeared in th nimbus and reappeared as suddenly as if they had been shot out of a gun, anc here eaane the vision gliding up to tlx platform, with bell ringing and poj valve sputtering 'sotta voce,' like v young lady trying to suppress a ticklisl cough. It was the pay car. At thb point you lost consciousness. "Coupled to the engine was a wheel ed palace built on graceful lines ir freshly varnished yellow paint which rivaled the brnsswork on the engine in brilliance. The plate glass windows were curtained with bright hued bro cade. Not a speck nor a flaw was to be seen. Even the yellow wheels bore only so much dust us had been gather ed on the day's run. Through au open window came fragrant odors, while in the background a white jacket, surmounted by a black face, vibrated at intervals. "All this time Old Man Flatwhee was heading a little procession bouno toward the rear platform of the pay car at a gait which he assumed bul once a month. Flatwheel had consci entious scruples against undue exertion. He always hnd the caboose stopped at the station platform so that without dissipating his energies he could saunter in to gas with the agent until the hind man announced that the work was all done and that we were ready to go. Then he would get bis orders or a clearance hnd tell the hind man to give 'em the sign and saunter back to the caboose before they got to rolling. But to have seen the animation with which he swung himself aboard the pay car would have created the impression that he was the only working railroad man on the division. "At his side stalked Fanhandle Dan, the engineer, his face actually wreathed in smiles. Fanhandle Dan had a chronic grouch from 12:01 a. m. Jan. 1 to 11:59 p. m. Dec. 31, except for three siinutes once a month. On the way to ttin pay car he always perked up a bit and was even known to crack a joke with Old Man Flatwheel. After these two came the hind man talking Incessantly with the fireman. Charles always was talking that way. He had an automatic tongue, which never ran down. Half the time he didn't know he was talking. His was what the doctors would diagnose as a reflex conversation. Frank, the fireman, was the only sober one. He, poor fellow, was doing sums in r.ritlnnetic, trying to figure out how on -;t-th S58.G0 could be made to pay all necessary bills for a helpless father and mother, a wife and four kids, besides board bills for a man who was obliged to be away from home half the time. "Then there was the operator in shirt sleeves and careworn air hoping he could get back to his key before the dispatcher lost his temper; the agent, placidly smiling, and the two coal heavers from the coal shed with an expression of almost human intelligence struggling up through numberless strata of grime and whiskers After thirty days of humping over a scoop shovel In a choking smother of dust they were now about to be recompensed with thirty seconds of bliss in which they could fondle real money with their own hands. After that the storekeeper would do the fondling and feel bad because there wasn't more. "You had presence of mind enough to float into the pay car in the wake of others. There were nine In the little party, and you knew by experience that the average time required to pay nine men was sixty seconds; also that Moriarity would have 'em rolling before the last man had scooped his allotted coin into his trembling palm But in the presence of death or the paymaster one may live an eternity in sixty seconds. How glad you were that you had not been rude and rushed in ahead of anybody, even the coai heavers!
