Woman Became Rich In A Year By Her Own Efforts Amasses a Fortune. Indiana is the home of a woman who until a few months ago lived in small framo cottago, but who now resides In her own palatial, brownstona residence, purchased from ihe croflts of her business earned in less than a year. Until a few years ago, Mrs. Miller's Jot In life was not unlike that of the average American woman residing in small town. She had her family tc are for, including three small child yen. Today the business, which was first conducted from her cottage, re Quires almost all of the principal of flee building of the town, and a hun dred clerks and stenographers are re quired in conducting the details.

SPANKING METHOD WAS DECIDED UPON

Later It Was Thought Better Not to Follow This Plan On Thanksgiving. SMALL BOYS WERE UP. LECTURED ON THE EVILS OF C: GARETTE SMOKING AND AL LOWED TO GO ON PROMISE Of GODD BEHAVIOR HEREAFTER. Eight youths ranging between the ages of eleven and thirteen, told Judge Converse in the city court this 1 morning that they had on several in stances smoked tobacco to the amount of "a teaspoonful" anh admitted that it had been the practice of the "bunch'' to "shoot" cigarette snipes from the streets and gutters in orded to secure cigarette papers. During the course of the hearing a public spanking was narrowly averted, and had it not been Thanksgiving one of the boys would have been paddled severel'. During he course of the hearing Prosecutor Jessup took occasion to tell the youngsters that they should not use tobacco as it would stunt their growth Accordingly, when the boys were made to promise that they would not use the weed until tLey at least became older, and were asked the reason why they intended to quit, they promptly said it was bad for their health, thinking that they would be shown leniency by heeding the prosecutors admonition. For some time a gang of boys residing in the court house neighborhood have been very bothersome. Police have noticed that the members of the gang would get their heads together in earnest conversation for a short time and then journey toward the river, always following the banks to a secluded nook. Recently a relative of one of . -e boys slipped onto them and found all smoking cigarettes. He then told the police and all the j-oungsters were vanfced before the prosecutor Wednesday. They were lectured on the evils of cigarette smoking and told to go home and apprise their parents of 'heir misdeeds. A few of them did 'his, while others lied to the court vhcii they said that they had penitently asked forgiveness of their parents. Two of these were later confronted by parents in the court and then the youngsters, realizing that they were trapped, burst out weeping. One boy who makes his home with his uncle a greater portion of the time, admitted that he had "storied" and when asked as to what he thought would be the proper punishment in the case, and at Judge Converse's hint, said he supposed he needed a spanking. This decided upon, he chose his uncle to do the work. Here Prosecutor Jessup and Judge Converse decided not to desecrate Thanksgiving by establishing such a custom, and after a lecture the youngster was allowed to go. Both Prosecutor Jessup and Judge Converse think the lecturing the boys received will do them good and expect to never again hear of the boys violating the law. ty-first birthday; also her youngest daughter, Mrs. Robert Colvin, whose birthday occurs the same day.

Howard Thomas and Eugene Duvall Were Walking Arm in Arm. VILL BE BROUGHT BACK CINCINNATI OFFICERS HAD N TROUBLE IN IDENTIFYING TH. BOYS AS THE COMBINATIOf WAS UNUSUAL ONE. Walking along the street locked arm n arm ana gazing at the tall buildings oward Thomas and Eugene Duvall. he thirteen-year-old boys who lefJ Richmond Tuesday afternoon to get ; iimpse of the secrets of the big wide orld, just because they were compelled to attend school regularly, were and by a big blue-coated policeman :i Cincinnati Wednesday. A relativt if the Thomas boy was notified and he eft for Cincinnati to return the oungsters to this city. When the boys were confronted by he Cincinnati officer they lied gliblj r a time, but when he spoke their iaines their eyes opened in wonder They acknowledged that they had run iway from home, but seemed ready to eturn whenever their relatives might irrive to get them. The Cincinnati officers had no troule whatever in identifying the young ;ters. as Thomas was a white lad and Duvall colored. Such a combination an be but seldom overlooked, particu arly when roaming around togethci irm in arm. The actions of Duvall, the colored ad, has been under investigation by Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, probation of 'cer, and it is very probable that his ojourn in Cincinnati unknown to his elatives, will be sufficient charge to -evive all the old points held against him. Thomas's case is different as his father has already made preparation to send hi mto a school south of Cin cinnati for two years. PRICES AT 23 CENTS Turkeys Finally Sold as Low As 15 Cents Wednesday Night. MARKET WAS BUSY PLACE. ABUNDANCE OF TURKEYS, CHICK ENS AND DUCKS AND EVERYTHING ELSE NEEDED TO MAKE THANKSGIVING DINNER. Seldom in recent years has the local A street market presented as animated an aspect as it did Wednesdav afternoon and evening, this favorite market emporium being visited by hundreds of Richmond people all intent on providing a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner. The market was quite complete in its supply of food stuffs and all of the luxuries of the fall season could be found in abundance at a fairly reasonable price. Not for several years has the supply of turkeys, chickens, and ducks been as complete as it has been this Thanksgiving. Turkeys, the most palatable and most coveted of all the barnyard products, were much in evidence, and exceptionally plurop and tempting looking. A concertedeffort was made by many of the operators of stalls to hold the price of turkeys up to 23 cents per pound, but several found their supply over stocked and cut the price to 20 cents. This caused a break in the market and later In tho evening patrons were buying the precious foul at 18 cents, and by the time the market hours were about over turkeys were being sold as low as 15 ceuts by some. The cut prices at the market house had their effect on the grocers who hoped to maintain the price of turkeys at 23 cents despite the plentifullness of the fowl. However many merchants finding their meats lagging, entered into competition with the market houe prices. This morning one grocer on Main street was cleaning out his stock at IS cents rather than to run the rLfk of losing it. FARMERS' MUTUAL LIVE STOCK INSURANCE CO.'S They Are to Be Investigated by State Auditor. John C. Billheimer, auditor of state, is conducting an examination into the 1 methods in use by farmers' mutual live 1 stock insurance companies of Indiana. The Farmers' and Citizens' Mutual Live Stock Insurance company, of Tipton, has gone Into liquidation and a number of other companies of the same kind are on the auditor's list for , investigation.

T'ue investigation of this company was begun when the auditor found that it. :Tti lr-s of incorporation had nor been filed with the setretarv of state.

PRISONERS ARE GIVEN THANKSGIVING FARE Sheriff Meredith Changed His Mind About It. When prisoners at the couuty jail incidentally asked Sheriff Linus Meredith whether he intended to give them a big Thanksgiving dinner, Meredith told them that he did not. There was much indignation among the prisoners and had such a thing been possible, resolutions would have been drawn and presented to the sheriff. However, Meredith said this morning he had reconsidered the matter and today at noon intended to serve the inmates at the county jail with baked chicken, oyster dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberries, celery and mince pie. The prisoners were led to believe that they were to receive nothing extraordinary eo that the surprise would be all the more pleasant. Twenty-seven law-breakers spent Thanksgiving at the county jail.
