THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SIN-TELEGRAM.

Palladium Printing Co., Publishers. Office North 9th and A Streets. RICHMOND, INDIANA. PRICE Per Copy, Daily 2c Per Copy, Sunday 3c Per Week, Daily and Sunday 10c IN ADVANCE One Year $500 Entered at Richmond, Ind., PostofHce As Second Class Mail Matter. First Citizen "Fine report from the City light plant, wasn't it';'' Second Citizen "You bet. fhosfj newspaper chaps must have been mistaken when they said the plant needed investigating." The Littlo Bird that Knows (sotto voice) "Yep, that's just what the big manufacturers want you to think while they go right along getting electricity for their factories and for t&elr families at just one-half what you fcr paying for it." 8o our county republican executive eommittee has reconsidered and will ullow candidates lo hire carriages, but will not allow them to hire drivers. At that rate the winning candidate will probably be the one who shows a etreak of genius by importing a car load of educated horses from some circus to bring his lazy friends to the polls. A Terre Haute newspaper carries an advertisement announcing that John K. Walsh, the convicted Chicago banker, will continue to attend to his business affairs. Yes, but he may do bo in the near future from the stone pile, instead of from his office desk. Why doesn't council ask Brer. B. U. Johnson about depreciation on the light plant? He has shown great skill as presa agent and news bureau for the anti-investigation gang and ought to be able to get them around that embarrassing point somehow. Providence was blamed, in the long run, for the Iroquois theatre disaster, as the manager escaped conviction. Let us hope something more substantial will bo blamed and punished this time- in the- case of the Boyertown catastrophe. To those who believe in America for Americans, tho statistics just published, showing an enormous increase in the number of foreigners returning to Europe and the comparatively few coming to this country, will have no terrors. "Resolved, That all tho congressional candidates of tho Sixth district each contribute a quarter to one Thomas Davidson of Greensburg, for tho bouquebs ho threw yesterday and that he also be compelled to contribute." Mr. Davidson is correct in his contention that all the candidates are a fine lot jvnd the one that draws the congressional plum will be going about for ever afterward trying to convince M3 that he is the finest of the lot. Evelyn, Thaw says that Whit was very kind and thoughtful to the" young girls h knew. Cats often times exhibit great kindness and playfulnesa.to mice for some time and then devour them. Is there a bie depreciation on the municipal light plant? Well, inasmuch as some one's feelings might be hurt if an Investigation "were held it will be hard to tell. From Krelyn Thaw's story White was a human cat. He was kind and thoughtful to moral young girls until the opportunity presented itself to devour their morals. Any boy who is willing to walk 6,760 miles la four years for an educa tion as jt'ste r.nar 01 Jiagerstown, is doing, deserves to walk the rest of his life through easy and rosy paths. But then if that outflow of foreigners continues, some people will have to make up for the population de crease by practicing the doctrine of Kooseveltian families. And now just after the Brazilian po lice have relieved us from an anarchist scare. Russia comes along with the declaration that Japan is making rreni'rntions for war. it is true that the owners of bill boards hae ,-otue property rights, but i' is equally t;ue that a nuisance can be done a wax with r.o matter in what ionn it !. The rubber tip on the end of lead pencils made its inventor rich, and the red tipi on drinking men's noses are making the brewers and distillers wealthy. But then how could any one expect

to secure an investigation of the light

plant with all the "power" down there to fight it? there is The squeals and not the price of hogs are going up, as our farmers rush to the market to dispose of their porkers this year. That pole ordinance is a good deal like a telegraph pole always up in the aid as far as any settlement is concerned. HIS SATANIC MAJESTY BLAMED FOR FIRE Hamilton, 0., Woman Burned To Death. Hamilton, ().. Jan. 22. Mrs. Fred Lamke, forty years old, of South Second street, rushed from h'er home into the street today, with her clothing in flames, and shouting that the devil had set her ablaze. She died after removal to Mercy hospital. It is said that she was insane, and that she set fire to her dress while in the cellar of her homo, after first saturating it with coal oil. PANTHER STILL AT LARGE IN SWAMP Strange Beast Seen Heard in Gulch. and Hazelton, Ind., Jan. 22. The panther which has been terrorizing the people of Pike and Gibson counties for a week, is now in the swamps of Snyder's gulch, ten miles northeast of here. Vere Warren and Robert Armstrong say they saw the beast late Sunday afternoon and Willis and Perry Young, who live near the foot of Snyder's gulch, say they heard the animal distinctly a dozen times yesterday. Scott Ennis and William Roschipe, who live about a mile away from the swamp, sat up all night and listened to the cry of the panther. The swamp where the animal was seen and heard is covered with water from three to six feet deeo and is im passable even in boats on account of the immense amount of brush and drift In the water. The swamp is more than a hundred acres in extent and is formed by Congress creek, which in the neighborhood has no banks and spreads out over a large tract of dense woods. Flee From Their Home. Last night the panther's cries were heard again. Mrs. Willis Young refused to stay longer at her home and her husband took the children and set out in a wagon for upper Pike county, where theywill stay until the panther is either driven from the country or is killed. CITY STIRRED BY TRAMP'S DEATH Prosecutor Now Investigating Fatal Joke. Columbus, Ind., Jan. 22. Columbus demands tho punishment of the person who administered croton oil to George Harold, tho "Original Boy Tramp," and whose act, intended to be a joke, caus ed the wanderer's death. It is said that Coroner Benhain and Prosecuting Attorney Phillips have learned that the boy tramp was in three saloons the afternoon before his death, and that in two of them he was given drinks. In one, it is said, there was a crowd and that croton oil was dropped into the whisky which was given to Harold. Ten minutes later he was found in the stairway of Lane's furniture store and did not regain consciousness. Man is Entitled to his century" says Sir James Crichton-Browne, The British scientist.

STORIES FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL From The Palladium's Special Correspondent, Ralph M. Whiteside

A congressman usually gets his share of strange requests from citizens. The other day a Washington man called upon Representative William S. Greene, of Massachusetts, and asked him to put a stop to cock crowing early in the morning. "It murders my sleep," he said. Mr. Greene was stumped for a minute. Then he kuw his opportunity and seized it. "Is there any law on the subject'-"' he politely asked. "There is, sir," said the sleepier one, "but it has been declared unconstitutional." "Ah," commented the man from Massachusetts. "I'm sorry." The man is still losing sleep. United States Senator J. P. Doiliver

The idea of neatness possessed by E EVIL CAUSE OE YOUNG CRIMINALS Judge Stubbs Would Never Grant a Decree. "If I had my way about it, there would never be a divorce granted in the country, except on a proved cnarge of immoral conduct. This business of people quarreling and then separating, leaving their children without a chance to get on in life as they should has gone entirely too far, and it is time it was stopped and stopped quick and hard." Judge Stubba of the Juvenil court, Indianapolis, gave his ideas on the divorce question briefly today. The judge was talking of divorce of persons who had children and left them unprotected against the "world the youthful's conditions being such as to encourage them to commit crime.

GRANT OF $7,000,000 IS URGED FOR STREAMS. Indiana, Ransdell Said, Should Require Representatives And Senators to Indorse Such a Bill in Congress. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 22. The possibilities growing out of the improvement of the inland waterways of Indiana and all of the states comprising the Ohio valley, were eloquently and vigorously discussed at the opening of the first convention of the Indiana branch of the National Rivers and Harbors congress. The Ohio Valley was likened to a ! garden of Kden, with almost unlimited j resources and magnificent streams, , whose value to the commercial world ' can be revealed by judicious expendi- ; ture of government funds. From Lake; , county, on the north, to l.vansville j attendance are Joseph K. Ransdell, president and J. L Ellison, secretary i of the National rivers and harbors ' congress: Thomas R.

"Owins to the uncertain navigation of the Ohio river," said Mr. Ellison, "a Pittsburg coal shipper told me that it was necessary to pay an excess of 20 cents for every ton of coal that is sent down the river, and it is not necessary for me to say who it is that pays this excess. Indianapolis pays it, as does every other city in which the coal from this locality is sent." A permanent organization will be effected today. Ransdell's Counsel.

CATHOLICS NUMBER TWENTY-TWO MILLION Equally That Number Under United States Flag. Milwaukee. Wis., Jan. 22. There are 13.877,420 Roman Catholics in the United States, according to the advance sheets of the lfXS Wiltzius Catholic directory, published in this city. These figures show an increase of 7SN.O03 over last year. Including the Catholic poulation of the Philippines which amounts to 7.KHJ.432, and add ing the 1,000,On Catholic population of Porto Rico and 3T.000 Catholics of the Sandwich Islands, the entire Catholic population under the United States flag amounts to 22.01 S.!S.
