A preacher entering the political game Is an unusual occurrence, particularly when he announces himself for office. Two Richmond preacher-men have done so, the Rev. T. H. Kuhn for governor, subject to the democratic nomination, and the Rev. J. O. Campbell for congress, subject to the republican nominating convention to be held next spring. Not often one city can boast of two men who have made successes both in the religious and political world, but it seems as though Richmond can lay claim to as clever a brace of preacher-politicians as ever Etepped on a political platform and asked the support of the people. The Revs. Kuhn and Campbell are big mux mentally and physically. The Rev. Kuhn, after teaching a number of years in country schools, went to Wabash college where he graduated. Following his course there he entered Butler college at Indianapolis and there secured his A. M., and Ph. D. degrees after a long course of study. He is also a graduate of Chicago University, being a Bachelor of Divinity from t: at school. The Rev. Kuhn is a big man physically, being six feet one inch in height and weighing two hundred and ten pounds. Notwithstanding his avordupois he is one of the most active men in Richmond and cares for his manifold duties with dispatch. He is ever forging ahead and his whirlwind campaign during the last congressional campaign completely took the breath from many of his followers and opponents. He was here, and there, and everywhere, within the space of a very short time and his movements were so fast that even Democratic District Chairman Meek found it difficult in locating the Richmond man to urrange speaking dates. Stands Six Feet Two. w 11.. 4 A A wsiTir nn T? 1 Vi The Rev. Mr. Campbell is also a rrui: ; powerful physique and mentality. ? is a graduate of DePauw, where he trnt tcvc-.al years finishing a preji turso and then graduating fro.u ollege proper. He weighs most times, according to his own assertion, 250 pounds, but said, with a shrug of his shoulders, that he only tipped the beam at 240 the last weighing. He is six feet two inches tall and has a solid foundation, wearing a r.umber eleven shoe. The Rev. Mr. Campbell, although new to politics, is conducting a campaign which speak3 well for his hustling abilities. He came from a farm up near "Wabash. Ind., where he was born and. reared and to his early training he attributes his magnificent physique. He remained on the farm until he was almost twenty-three years of age. Campbell secured his walking traits when but a boy, when he had to walk to the district school one and one-half miles away from his home. The Rev. Kuhn secured his strength when a boy, logging for his father, who was operating an extensive lumber business in Brown county. Each day it was part of Kuhn's duties to help load heavy hogs and then drive a four-yoke team of oxen over a hilly country to the lumber mills. JOE PELTZJSVERY SICK He Has Both Appendicitis and Peritonitis. Joe Peltz, a well known and popular young man. son of John Peltz. of North Ninth street, is very ill with appendicitis and peritonitis, and fears are expressed over his condition. Owing to his condition the attending physicians fear the results of an operation for appendicitis, which is deemed nec essary. Mr. Peltz was taken suddenly ill Thursday and since his condition has grown worse. His parents, who were visiting in Chicago, were called home. SELLS IMPLEMENT BUSINESS. Whitewater, Ind., Oct 12 E. E. Jor dan has disposed of his Implement and vehicle business to Thomas A, Smith of this place. Mr. Smith will increase the stock and will add sever al new features.

LITTLE DAMAGE IS E Bi THE FROST Late Sweet Corn, Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans, Show Effect of Temperature. TOMATOES ARE PLENTIFUL CHOLERA HAS MADE INROADS ON THE SWINE SOME FRUITS WILL BE CONSPICUOUS BY THEIR ABSENCE. (By Walter S. Ratliff.) So far, the frosts have not been so ry heavy. Late sweet corn, green beans and sweet potato vines show the effects of frost temperature. It is likely the sweet corn suffered most as the late ears do not mature satisfactorily under such conditions. Sweet potatoes are being dug as they have about attained their growth. Many patches have had the vines cut, al ready, so as to prevent the tainting of the tuber that is so often noticed pfter white frosts or light freezes. Usually when a few light frosts have come, later the growing plants have many nice days to mature the later settings, thus adding tothe yield. Tomatoes are still plentiful. It will take colder temperatures to injury materially the large crop of unripe fruit that is to be seen in many of the neighboring gardens. As this crop is so often injured by sharp freezes, and so often the results of such injury are permanent and total, it is not surprising that tomato growers endeavor to harvest their ripe fruit early. Corn cutting continues, with the prospects of the greater part of the crop being placed in shock by the close of this week. Fodder is clean and in fine condition to be cut and every effort is being made by the farmers to save all that is available. From the present appearance of the ears of corn, there will be little or no cribbing done before the 1st of November. Much corn is being gathered for immediate feeding to hogs and cattle. With the recent rise in prices, hog feeders are anxious to crowd off all that can be profitably done, all hogs ready for market. Some farmers are not as well stocked with swine as usual, owing to the depletion, by cholera, of their herds during the past two years. Much complaint is heard of the high figures on young shoats and pigs, leaving too close a margin for feeding before holiday delivery. An occasional orchard is seen that has a few red apples on the trees, that will be gathered soon, before the cold fall winds and rains cause them to drop. The varieties that will be found in the farmers cellars this winter, will probably be the Winesap, Rome Beauty, Indiana Favorite, Mann, Smith's Cider and Roman Stem. Singularly enough, the famous BenDavis did not fruit very much this season and customers who have been used to this variety of apples can not well obtain them at any price. Most Kelffer trees are barren of pears, one of our most delicious kinds of winter fruits regretfully wanting. The Winter Nellisand the Duchess I pears will also be conspicuously absent

BAPTISTS REGISTER STIRRING PROTEST State Meeting at Indianapolis Lays Crime and Higher Tax to Liquor. ENROLLMENT WAS 789. STATISTICS WILL BE PUBLISHED SHOWING THE NUMBER OF COLORED BAPTISTS IN THE STATE. Indianapolis, Oct. 12. Closing sessions of the Indiana Baptist convention were devoted, for the most art, to the receiving of reports from various standing committees. The enrollment committee reported a total of 7S9 delegates in attendance. The secretary was Instructed to publish statistics showing the number of colored Baptists in the state. Mis s MacLaurin, of Boston, who is soon to make a visitation to foreign mission fields, spoke of the needs of these foreign missions. The report of the standing commit tee on temperance set out that the saloon is a crimina institution, evil and only evil, increasing taxes, breaking up families, corrupting government, filling poorhouses, jails, workhouses, penitentiaries and insane asylums; directly and indirectly carrying 200,000 people prematurely to death. It strongly voiced objections t license which justifies the wicked for a reward and is approved by liquor men. It set out that prohibition is no longer regarded merely as a party question, and Is not so considered in the report. The report insisted that in all fairness and decency t.bye United States ought to protect prohibition districts from importation of liquor, and that senators and representatives in congress should use their strongest efforts for the protection of liquor importations and prevent the restoration of liquors to the army canteen. The report was adopted without a dissenting voice RECEIVER NAMED FOR WHITE CITY COMPANY Takes Charge of Amusement Park at Broad Ripple. CENTRAL TRUST CO. SUIT. Indianapolis, Oct. 12.

Young Colored Man Is Alleged

To Have Committed Criminal Assault on Three-Year-Old Child. NORTH END EXCITED OVER CIRCUMSTANCES. Timely Arrival of Sergeant McManus Probably Prevented Rough Handling Not Green's First Offense. Bernard Green, a young colored man commonly known about town as "Pickles", is confined at the city jail on a charge of having committed a criminal assault on a little white girl, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harris, 1028 North H street. The crime created the greatest excitement in the north end of the city and but for the timely arrival of Sergeant McManus, who arrested Green at his home, the negro would probably have been violently handled by the enraged people. After Sergeant McManus arrested Green he hur ried him to the city jail in the patrol wagon. It is understood that Saturday afternoon the Harris baby was playing about the veranda of its home when Green came along and began talking to the child. He induced the little one to leave the porch and after conducting the baby to a place where no one could witness his actions, Green committed a criminal assault. The baby then ran crying into the house and the mother noticing the little one's disarranged clothing soon discovered the nature of the crime that had been committed on the child. Was Quickly Found. Mrs. Harris notified her husband, who is employed asa" blacksmith at the local Panhandle shops, of the assault on the baby. Mr. Harris immediately returned home and the police were asked to assist in locating the child's assailant. It did not take long for Sergeant McManus to find Green. At the city jail Green at first denied that he had committed any assault on the Harris child. He said that the baby had wandered into his home and into his bedroom but that he had made no attempt to assault her. Later, after fully realizing the enormity of his of fense, Green broke down and in sobs told the police that if they would let him go this time he would promise never to be guilty of a similar offense again. Prosecutor Jessup, when informed of the circumstances in connection with the arrest of Green, left strict orders that no one be permitted to see him. One of the police officers stated Saturday night that it was reported that Green had a few days ago attempted to commit a criminal assault on a white girl several years the senior of the Harris child. Green has the peculiar ability of imitating a brass band by blowing through his lips and pome time ago considered going Into vaudeville. EPWORTH LEAGUE MET WITH THE LANGLEYS Monthly Session Was Held on Friday. PROGRAM WAS INFORMAL Centerville, Ind., Oct. 12 The Epworth League met in regular monthly session at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Langley on Friday evening. i There was a full attendance of the members and a number of invited guests.

STOCKS DROP AGAIN TO LOW LEVEL OF YEAR On Reports of Expense-Cutting on Harriman Lines. HARRIMAN DENIES REPORTS New York, Oct 12 The stock mar

DUE TO UNDERGROUNDS.

London, Oct. 12. A company in Birmingham which has been engaged in the manufacture of hansom cabs has decided to go out of business, because of the immense falling off in the demand for these vehicles. The cause of the decided reduction in the demand for hansom cabs Is said to be the development of underground railways in London and the increased use of motor boats and motor cabs. To this might be added the extension of the street car systems throughout the kingdom. Then also the demand for private cabs, which was formerly large, has disappeared, automobiles taking their place. HARRIMAN SUIT IS SET FOR NOV. 13 It Will Be Necessary for the Great Manipulator to Answer Questions. DEMAND FOR INFORMATION. HARRIMAN AND KAHN WILL BE EXPECTED TO EXPLAIN DEALS IN REFERENCE TO ILLINOIS CENTRAL. New York, Oct. 12 At a conference of counsel today the Government suit against E. if. Harriman and Otto H. Kahn to force them to answer questions put to them before the Interstate Commerce Commission, was postponed by agreement and set for hearing on November 13, before Judge Hough in the Federal District Court here. C. A. Severance, of St. Paul, law partner of Frank Kellogg, the Standard Oil inquisitor, was here as special counsel of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and after the postponement held a conference with United States District Attorney StiniEon on the methods to be employed in their effort to make the Wall street man answer. The questions on which the contests will b made involve mainly the purchase of Illinois Central stock by he Union Pacific through Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. of which Kahn is a member. Kahn will be asked to answer this auestion: "Were any or all of the Un ion Pacific directors Interested in the block of stock sold by your company to the Union Pacific in August, 1 1906?" The Government seeks to 1 show that the directors in effect sold I the stock to themselves, acting for the i railroad. Twenty Points Advance. Harriman will be asked concerning his connection with the sensational establishment of Union Pacific stock on a 10 per cent, basis in August. 1906, following the announcement of which the stock went up about twenty points. This question will be put: "Were you a buyer of Union Pacific just pre viouslv to that announcement?" It is alleged that the announcement was held back two days to give those on the "inside" a chance to buy. Kahn will be asked to tell whether the Illinois Central stock sold by his company to the Union Pacific was not acquired by a pool made for that nurnose. Harriman will also be asked what he paid for stock in the St. Joe and Grand Island, which he, himself sold to the Union Pacific. This he positively refused to tell last winter and it is supposed that he made some little profit by the deal. The present action is in the form of a distinct suit against the two men on the ground that under the law, the Interstate Commerce Commission has full nower to inquire into these mat ters and that they are compelled to answer all relevant questions. Harriman Makes a Denial. The attention of E. H. Harriman was called today to the telegram which he was reported to have sent to the general managers of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company instructing them to reduce all expenses other than maintenance and to stop improve ments on account of the stringency of the money market. "The statement is untrue," said Mr. Harriman. "I do not send telegrams to general managers in this way and no such order has been given. We are doing everything we ran to take care of the business trib utary to our roads and expect to con tinue to do so. ket opened weak today, a number of leading stocks selling down to about the level of the panic of last March The gossip of the financial district in explanation of this decline was based on a rumor that E. H. Harriman had given orders for sweeping reductions on every railroad line which he controls. Mr. Harriman gave out a denial that any such orders had been given.

With Manager Chance out of the game as a result of having a finger smashed by one of Donovan's inshoots yesterday, the Cubs went after the Tigers again today, determined to make the game the last one of the series. In this they were successful, and captured the world's championship. Howard played at first in place of his manager. Chance sent out Modecai Crown to do the pitching, with Kling to catch. Jennings sent in George Mullin, with young Archer behind the bat. Sheridan and O'Day were handling the indicators. The Cubs opened strong, but played their best in the first and second innings, in which they made the only two runs of the game. Beginning with the third the Tigers stiffened and held the Cubs to even plays, but were themselves unable to score, and the game closed with a shut out in favor of Chicago. The individual games were fin throughout the game and demonstrated the pluck of the Tigers, even with three games of the series lost and two scorts in the closing game against them. The first and second innings show that the battle was won and lost as follows: Battle Won and Lost. First inning Slagle walked and Sheckard filed to Jones. Howard struck out. Slagle stole second, Schaefer dropping the ball. Steinfeldt singled to center, scoring Slagle. Kling fled to Cobb. One run. Jones drew a pass; Schafer lined out to Slagle.
