' Kirby Palmer, 127 South Ninth street, was seriously injured and perhaps permanently so. yesterday morn ing at the Hoosier Drill Works. His glove on his right hand became caught in the elevator rope and he was car ried up with it. The platform of the elevator arose at the same time, with the result that Mr. Palmer's arm ' was caught between the platform and the second floor, mashing it severely and lacerating the flesh. Fortunately no bones were broken. He was taken to his home, and is reported as - resting easy today. MRS. McRANEY'S EXPERIENCE Mrs. M. McRaney, Prentiss, Miss., writes: "I was confined to my bed for three months with kidney and bladder trouble, and was treated by two phy sicians but failed to get relief. No human tongue can tell how I suffered, and I had given up hope of ever get ting well until I hegan taking Foley's Kidney Remedy. After taking two bottles I felt like a new person, and feel it my duty to tell suffering women what Foley's Kidney Remedy did for me." A. G. Luken & Co-

A Discriminating Thief Visits John Crowe's Barn Makes Himself at Home and on Leaving, Takes the Best of Everything in the Building.

Unusual discrimination was shown by the thief or thieves that visited the barn of John Crowe, east of Webster last night. After an inspection of Mr. Crowe's livestock, his best driving horse was selected, the best robe, blanket and whip and set of harness to be found in the stable were confiscated and attached to one of the farmer's buggies the horse was driven away. Mr, Crowe heard the dog barking, but did not think there was sufficient cause for alarm to warrant an investigation by him. He knew nothing of his loss until he went to the barn to feed. Soon afterward, Mr. Crowe and a friend came to this city and reported HOW AT HEIGHT "Last Minute" Buyers Are Crowding All Places of Business. CLERKS SHOW THE STRAIN MEN AND WOMEN BEHIND THE COUNTERS ARE RUSHED FROM EARLY MORNING UNTIL LATE AT NIGHT. Merchants and clerks in Richmond stores are now experiencing the hardships generally accompanying the last few days of the Christmas shopping season, as all today and last night the stores were crowded with late but eager buyers. The streets were filled with people up until a late hour last night and it is expected that the shoppers will veritably swamp the tired clerks and their employers tonight. With but two days remaining their seems to be an insane desire on the part of many people to complete their buying within the shortest period of time possible and this is thoroughly demonstrated in the busier stores where people jostle, crowd and elbow, In their mad desire to get nearer the counters which are still laden with hundreds of beautiful gifts. Generally speaking, a greater num ber of people than usual have done their shopping early this year, in order to avoid the widely heralded and humanity killing rush just before Christmas. Tired clerks are compelled to re main behind the counters attempting to please the petty fanciful whims of all hundreds of last-minute buyers and they will be glad when the shopping season becomes a matter of history. The strain this year has been unusually severe, say the merchants, and an exceptionally large business has been done although it was predicted last fall that the Christmas business of this year would not reach the amount of business done last, even though Christmas, 1907 came while the financial depression was at its heighth. Merchants are pleased and the shoppers are feeling much the same elation, as It is; generally said among them that the business men of Rich mond have offered an unusually fine selection of Christmas wares this year. "The greatest thing that has im pressed me, amidst all this hurry and scurry accompanying the shopping season," said a well known merchant this morning, "is the ease with which confidence is restored to the American people. Several months ago money was scarce. Buying was at a mini mum. People were afraid to spend. This was true up until election, when a spirit of confidence seemed to en velope the country and this was true in Richmond. Since the election. a period of not quite two months, business has gradually increased and Richmond people are buying with the abandon which indicates that they have no fear of the future. It ig all strange, is It not?" he questioned in conclusion. GUILTY OF COUNTERFEITING Passing counterfeit money is no worse than substituting some unknown worthless remedy for Foley's Honey and Tar, the great cough and cold remedy that cures the most obstinate coughs and heals the lungs. A. G. Luken & Co. WHITE FUNERAL WAS HELD TODAY Many Friends Pay Artist Final Tribute.

the theft of the outfit to the police. All neighboring toVns were notified and descriptions of the horse and buggy furnished the marshals. Crowe and his friend secured an automobile and scoured the country roads. It is believed the horse was driven to this city from Webster. The following description of the outfit was furnished the police: Bay horse, six years old, 1,150 pounds, fifteen three quarters hands high, one hind foot a little white, thin, foretop clipped but grown out about two inches, hitched to Columbus buggy, full leather top, dark red running gear and black body, rubber tires, harness rubber mounted and fairly well worn, robe red on one side black on the other.

DEDICATION WILL MOT BE DELAYED Secretary George 'Goodwin Has Not as Yet Secured Speaker, However. HAS HOPES FOR THE BEST. THINKS THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO SECURE MAN BEFORE THE TIME COMES DEMAND OF FORFEITURE POSSIBLE. Although it appears to the public as though the dedication of the Y. M. C. A. would have to be postponed, because of the failure of Secretary George L. Goodwin to secure a speaker to deliver the address next Sunday afternoon that this would not be the result. He declared very emphatically that the dedication would be held next Sunday and although there have been at least six refusals, he feels confident that an excellent speaker will be obtained. The board of directors of the association may hold a meeting this evening to determine several questions In reference to the program, the building and the like. There is a strong sentiment among the directors that the contractors, Caldwell and Drake, should be held to their contract. This provides a forfeiture of $15 per day, from September 1, until the time the building is turned over to the association. The contractors will no doubt refuse to accede to such a proposition and a legal fight is hinted at as there is $2,625 involved in forfeitures. The work of the contractors has pleased the building committee from expressions to be obtained from this committee. The only thing found wrong ac-, cording to Mr. Goodwin, was that the contractors overlooked very small and somewhat immaterial details. A day or two will be ample time to complete these small items. The report of the building committee will be made to the board at its meeting. The directors will no doubt have the busiest meeting of their career this evening, or If not this evening, when they meet. There are many other matters before the dedication next Sunday, which have to come to the board's attention. ALLEGED LOCAL MAN ARRESTED Fred Grant Charged With Assault and Battery. The city directory does not contain the name of Fred Grant and the Iden tity of the man referred to in the fol lowing from an Indianapolis newspap er is unknown to the police: Fred Grant of Richmond, Ind.. who came to Indianapolis yesterday morning to pay a debt, was forced out of the house of his creditor and rode to the police station in the patrol wogan, where he was locked up on two charges. The creditor, Isaac N. Carver, of 628 Stevens street, a furniture dealer, was charged with assault and battery. The charges against Grant were assault and malicious trespass. Bieycleman Mullin and Stewart were called to the Carver house to invest! gate a reported fight. Carver told them that Grant had come to him to pay a furniture bill and that the amount of the account had caused a dispute. The dispute, according to Grant, had caused his ejection from the house.

POLICE ACTION PROBABLE STATED THAT THREE DEALERS EAST OF RIVER WHO REFUSE TO CLOSE MAY BE FORCED TO DO SO. West Richmond meat dealers and grocers, who closed their places of business Sunday, declare they were well pleased by the Innovation. "It was just like finding an extra day on the; calendar to me," said one merchant. "It was the first real holiday I have had for many, many months, and I am sure I appreciated it. I believe my patrons look at the proposition in the right manner and will have no objec tion to the stores being closed on Sun-1 day .especially at this season of the year," he continued. The front door of all West Side stores displays a placard bearing an inscription similar to "Closed on Sunday." The efforts of the committee of the Ministerial association to induce the meat dealers east of the river to close on the Sabbath, have met with success in all but three cases, and it is probable these will be brought into line during this week. A state law would require these three men to close their shops, if the law was enforced. It is not Improbable that unless the trio of dealers agrees to fall into line upon request, they may be ordered to do so by the civil authorities. It is known there has been a consultation between the prosecuting attorney, superintendent of police and representatives of the association. It would not be surprising if a mandatory order to close next Sunday, the date to which the general closing movement has been extended, was made. The fact the dealers west of the river are so well pleased by the innovation of closed doors on Sunday, is expected to have influence on the opposite of the Whitewater.

RICHMOND'S NEW

RHODIUS CASE OH Louisville Hotel Attaches Were On the Witness Stand Today. MARRIAGE RECORD SHOWN. Greenfield, Ind., Dec. 22. In the Rhodius annulment of marriage proceedings today Assistant Manager Case, of the Willard hotel, Louisville, testified that Alma Dare and Rhodius stopped there the night before the ceremony was performed. He said the woman was supporting the man and the latter dropped on the counter apparently exhausted. The woman registered "George Rhodius and wife, Indianapolis," and paid the bill. The register was placed in evidence. The marriage bond book was also exhibited in court, showing that Rhodius had signed with his mark and the woman had signed as Elma Dodsworth. The colored doorman at the hotel testified to assisting Rhodius to alight from a carriage, and then upstairs, the woman being on the opposite side. 1 A chambermaid at the hotel testified to hearing the woman say, "I've married you now, what are you going to do about it," in angry tones. CLEMENCY IS REFUSED SMITH Judge Converse Says Gambler Must Serve Time. Prosecutor Jessup recommended that C. P. Smith, colored, be released under suspended judgment in city court this afternoon. Smith is charged with visiting a place where gambling was permitted. He was a member of the crowd of negroes engaged in shooting craps at the McKay place at the time of the raid. Judge Converse refused to accept the recommendation and stated if the prosecutor wishes any clemency shown Smith, he must move to dismiss the case. That will put the responsibility upon the prosecutor. H. U. Johnson appeared in court to intercede In behalf of Smith also. Breakfast Table Revelations.

L The city council at its meeting last night decided to change the corporation line in Northwest Richmond bo that it would not incorporate the property of a Mr. Hillman, who petitioned the body to take this action. .For some time Mr. Hillman has been required to pay city taxes and meet oth er city assessments while his next door neighbor, whose property was not incorporated, escaped these extra expenses. Councilman McMahan stated last night that the bricks in the pavement , in front of the Panhandle freight depot had become loose and were a constant source of annoyance to those hauling in the neighborhood. In a communication to council last night Controller Parry stated that the recent $25,000 bond issue was the most satisfactory one the city had ever made. Residents of South J street, near the C, C. & L. railroad crossing have been constantly complaining because the railroad has refused to place a flagman at this point, and the matter was again brought to the attention of council last night by Councilman Williams. - CURTAINS READY.
