It Ioors as though the present panic in Wall street was the culmination or a campaign on the part of Harriman, the railroad wizard, to gain revenge on Thomas F. Ryan. Several years ago when young Hyde was forced out of the Equitable Life Assurance Company Harriman tried to buy tbe company from him. Hyde felt that most of his trouble was to be attributed to Harriman, and, consequently, he tur.ied down Harriman's offer and sold .the company to Thomas F. Ryan. It was known at the time tuat this move made Harriman very angry toward Ryan, and subsequent events tend to show that Harriman has laid a systematic campaign to obtain revenge. Tuesday the Knickerbocker Trust Company, a concern in which, it is said, Ryan is heavily interested, was forced to suspend paying depositors following a run on the institution. Coincident with the suspension of the Knickerbocker all stocks in which Ryan was known to hav? an interest displayed marked weakness. That the situation is a very grave one, no one doubts. J. P. Morgan, the greatest banker in America, probably, has stepped into the breech to save the day, if possible, and Secretary of Treasury Cortelyou is in New York in conference with him.

DR. M. W. YENCER LATEST TO EHTER FOR WATSON PLACE Well Known Physician, and a Former Member of State Legislature, Makes Formal Announcement for Office. HAS BEEN ENCOURAGED BY MANY TO MAKE RACE. Says He Is in Entire Harmony With President Roosevelt's Policies Expects to Make Spirited Campaign. Dr. Martin W. Yencer, who was formerly a member of the state legislature from Wayne county, and who has Since become a resident of Richmond, has formally announced his candidacy for congress to succeed James E. Watson, who has become a candidate for governor. Dr. Yencer says he has been given great encouragement to try for this place and that he feels he has a good chance along with the other Wayne county candidates to pet the county's delegation. Dr. Yencer says he is in entire harmony w ith President Roosevelt's policies and the republican administration. He will make a spirited campaign, as he did when a candidate for the legislature. Delow Is his announcement: To the Citizens of the Sixth Congressional District of Indiana: My reason for addressing you is: As the time of the Republican primary election is drawing near at hand, I wish to anounce to the citizens of the Sixth Congressional district that I am a candidate for United States Representative in Congress. Wayne county has twice nominated and elected me to the Indiana State Legislature end now I shall invite and ask the undivided support from all the counties in the Sixth Congressional district for the nomination and election as their Representative in Congress. I would be more than pleased to meet every citizen in the district and those whom I do not get to meet personally, I ask for their support just the same. I do most heartily endorse the administration of President Roosevelt and the Republican platform. The Executive's policies are the policies of the people of this nation, the people have endorsed him. the people have sanctioned them, the people have voiced them, almost regardless of party lines. There never was a time in the history of this government since the days of Washington, when the people were more united with the chief executive than they are today. It will "be my sole aim and duty as a member of congress from the Sixth district to maintain the policies of President Roosevelt and the republican platform, who ever may be the next president of the United States. The policies of President Roosevelt and the republican party will be the policies cf the people for the next four years to come. Practically there is but one party today, that is the party of Lincoln, of Grant, of Garfield, of Harrison, of fclcKinley and Roosevelt. The people of this country are only

too willing to vote for men of the republican party who are in full harmony with President Roosevelt's policies and his administration, the people are eager to cast their votes for such men. In full measure of this I am in full accordance with President Roosevelt's policies and the republican party, I therefore ask for the undivided support from the citizens and voters of this congressional district. M. W. YEXCER.

oDr customs. Every house must be decked with flowers on New Year's day in Japan. In Buenos Ayres the police alone have the right of whistling on the streets. Any other person whistling is at once arrested. In Ashantl many families are forbidden the use of certain meats. In like manner others are forbidden to wear clothes of a certain color. If a carriage upsets or injures another carriage in the streets of St. Petersburg or if a person is knocked down, the horses of the offending vehicle are seized and confiscated to the use of the fire brigade. It is the practice of the Ashantees and' Fantees to bury one-third of the property of a dead man. converted into gold dust, under his head, and rifling the grave of an enemy is considered the proper action for a warrior. Clapping the hands in various ways Is the polite method in central Africa of saying "Allow me." "I beg pardon," "Permit me to pass" and "Thanks." It Is resorted to In respectful introduction and leave taking. Dovas and Religion. "One thing I remarked and think worthy of notice is that ever since Noah's dove every religion seems to consider the pigeon as a sacred bird. For example, every mosque swarms with pigeon?, and the same exists in most Italian market places. The Hindoo pundits and the old Assyrian empire also have them, while Catholics make it the emblem of tbe iloly Ghost." Lady Burton in her account of the Mohammedan mystery play of "Hassan and Hossein" says: "Then comes the bier with Hossein's corpse and his son sitting upon It sorrowing and embracing him and a beautiful white dove in the corner whose wings are dabbled with blood. The effect upon the excited crowd is awful." "Life of Sir Richard F. Burton." Where He Worshiped. As the new minister of the village was on his way to evening service he met a rising young man of the place whom he was anxious to have become an active member of the church. "Good evening, my young friend," he said solemnly. "Do you ever attend a place of worship?" "Yes. indeed, sir, regularly every Sunday night." replied the young fellow, with a smile. "I'm on my way to see her now." Ladies' Home Journal. The Mystic Number Five. Five is the great sacred Chinese number.

THOMAS FORTUNE RYAN AND y5 fpm E. H. HAR ROADS ARE IMPROVED THE CARRIERS SAY Farriers Are Doing Much to Better Conditions. WANT TO GET THEIR MAIL. Rural mail carriers returning each day, report the farmers on the various routes running out of Richmond, making great strides in road improvement. The highways running out of Richmond are always in comparatively good condition. It is freely asserted that the demands of the postal department for good roads is responsible for the high degree of excellence of the public highways throughout the county. If the farmers do not keep the roads in perfect condition the rural routes are discontinued by special order from Washington. The rural carriers but seldom register complaint against conditions. Puzzling Scottish Terms. There are many puzzling differences between Scottish and English law terms. For Instance, bankruptcy is in Scotland an "act of sequestration," a solicitor is either a "writer" or a "law agent," the argument in a case Is the "debate," the assize is the jury, a wrongdoer is a "delinquent," an idiot in Scottish law is "a fatuous person," and burglary Is (with true Scot i tish caution) "housebreaking with ar, aggravation." Finally, an author is , in Scotland, not a person who writes, but the vender or seller of real property, from whom the title to it is derived. ! Her Discovery. Professor Some of the grandest Inventions of the age have been the result of accidental diseoverle. Young Lady I can readily believe it. Why. I made an important discovery myself, and it was the purest accident too. "I should much like to hear it." "Why, I fonnd that by keeping a bottle of ink handy a fountain pen can be used just the same as any other pen. without any of the bother and mess of filling it." JUDGMENT FOR THE PLAINTIFF. In the icrcult court Judge Fox rendered a judgment of $446.09 in favor of the plaintiff in the case of Joseph Clevenger against Martin L. Bowmaster. The suit was on note.

The case of the City of Winchester against Calvin Miller is still being heard in the Wayne circuit court. Thethird day of the trial begain this morn, ing. The first part of this year Miller was given a contract by the commissioners of Randolph county to niako everal roads. The material used by Miller is constructing these roads, and t was necessary for him to haul this material, which consisted principally'Tr. rushed stone, over the streets of Winhester. Miller has great difficulty in securing teams to haul his wagons, so ht c-ame to Richmond and purchased from

iGaar. Scott & Company a traction engine. To this engine Miller would attach a train of four or five wagons. (Property owners in Winchester complained that Miller's method of hauling; crushed stone over the streets of Winchester ruined these streets, which the property-owners were taxed for to kvp in repairs. The city of Winchester then took the matter to the courts and a temporary injunction against Miller hauling his road material over the streets was obtained. This action necessitated Miller suspending work on the roads which he had contracted to build. When the city of Winchester instituted proceedings to obtain a permanent injunction against Miller he had the case taken to the Wayne circuit court on a change of venue. The case was set for an early date in the October term of court, as Miller is anxious to have it settled to that he can resume work on the roads h is under contract to build. Tuesday, attorneys for Miller introduced witness to show that the operation of a traction engine over the streets of Winchester would not injure the streets. It was maintained by these attorneys that Miller had a legal right to haul wagon filled with stone over the street, ani that if any damage was done to the streets it resulted from the wagon wheels and not from the wheels of the traction engine. William Campbell of Gaar, Scott & Company testified that when macadam streets and driveways about the factories of the Garr, Scott & Company were made a traction engine similar to the one purchased by Miller was used to roll the streets and driveways into shape. It is probable that the case will be concluded today. ft Special 815.00 Suits
