Manufacturers Say That Railroads Are Caring for The Interests.

COMPLAINT ELSEWHERE.-

MANUFACTURERS OF INDIANAPOLIS SAY THAT RAILROADS ENTERING THAT CITY ARE TAKING AN ADVANTAGE.

Home Phone 1545. RICHMOND, IND.

While other cities In Indiana are complaining about rate discriminations, especially at Indianapolis, local manufacturers say that little complaint can be alleged here against the railroad companies. At Indianapolis however, the situation is said to have become so evident that a general campaign against all of the railroads en

tering that city will be started soon if the conditions don't improve. Local shippers state that discriminations in rates here are seldom, and the only trouble ever experienced here is an occasional car shortage.

TO BE MARRIED CHRISTMAS.

New York, December 20 Messrs. Hymen, Cupid & Santa Clans shipped the biggest and most interesting consignment that came to New York yesterday. The invoice called for thirtyeoven Scotch lasses, all destined to he Christmas brides for thirty-seven husky young Scotchmen, who have already made homes for them in this country. Long before the boat docked, thirty-

Beven happy secrets had percolated to

every quarter of the ship, and when

the Scotch girls came down the gangplank their fellow passengers were

waiting to shower them with rice, which the stewards had provided. The young women will scatter all over the United States, but among themselves they have agreed that, if possible, all the ceremonies will take place at the same hour on Christmas day, and a sort of endless chain system of congratulatory telegrams has been devised.

CLUB WIDOWS 111 BITTER RIVALRY Fair Matrimonial Promoters Clash Over "Divorcees."

GRASS AND SOD WIDOWS.

j Chicago, Dec. 20 The promoters of the Widows' Club (grass and sod) j have become involved in a violent quarrel with those of another hurry-up matrimonial club called "Devotees of the Domestic Shrine." j Mrs. Marie Russell, president and

organizer of the Widow's Club, charges Mrs. Cloe A. Parker, President of

the Devotees, with havingr stolen her thunder. She declares Mrs. Parker has plagiarized her ideas, to which Mrs. Parker replies: "I have not." ' Both Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Pike wanted to become members of my club," said Mrs. Russell. "They wrote to know about our club. Hut I would not let them in. They managed to find out enough from me to go ahead with a society of their own. "Mrs. Parker thinks she is going mo one better in admitting in addition to divorcees maids and bachelors. She also asks that each man who desires admittance to her lodge must be worth not less than $1,000 and have some real estate. This is foolish. It is only a false flourish. Then the idea of insisting on medical examination for entrance to the society. Ridiculous, isn't it?" Mrs. Parker was surprised at Mrs. Russell's charges. "Why, what nonsense," sho said. "I

never In my life asked to be admitted to Airs. Russell's Widows' Club. I im der stand her society is only for divorcees."

Pittsburg, Dec. 20.--"Yes, I taught

this girl to steal, Judge, and I taught

her to do it in such a clumsy manner

that she'd be sure to get caught. Why

did I do it? Because my husband was paying too much attention to her." The black eyes of Mrs. Georgene Allerton flashed today as she made this statement before Magistrate Brady. Mrs. Allerton, her alleged husband, Frederick Allerton and Miss Mabel Hall, daughter of Prof. A. E. Hall, a prominent East End private tutor, were all on trial, the woman

for shoplifting and Allerton as a suspicious person. Miss Hall was freed by the court.

AFFAIRS TAKE ON A HOPEFUL ASPECT

Neither of the local hotels will conform to the resolution adopted at Indianapolis by the Indiana Hotel Keepers' association in session there this week, to raise the rates. The resolution was to the effect that the prices of

ah food stuffs were so high that it

j was advisable that all hotel owners .'n

i the state should advance their rates. This resolution is not obligatory, how-

, ever, and it is thought by local hotel

men that the resolution will be gener-

i ally ignored in the state, especially

! where there is more than one hotel in

a town and there is any competition. Both of the local hotels are doing a good business, and while prices on all food stuffs are soaring, yet it is thought that an advance In rates would not be advantageous to the business interests to either of the hotels or the city in general.

to enter the assembly room of the high !

school today, where there was a debate in progress between Ralph Cosier, a senior, and Kenneth Arnest, a freshman.
