CANDIDATES ARE OUT Vail Sends Earlham Basketball Squad Through Fast Practice Yesterday. TEAM WILL BE A FAST ONE i The first basket ball practice since the opening of the new term was held yesterday afternoon in the gymnasium at Earlham college. Nearly all the old men were out and were sent through light practice by Coach Vail. The practice mainly was throwing field and foul goals which the various candidates seemed to be needing very badly. Coach Vail is hopeful of having a fast five representing the Quaker institution. With the present material on hands there should be no fear about not having a first class team, as it is the general belief that the team will be the strongest. in the past several years. . . HAS RIGHT TO FEES. In conversation today, John F. Robbins, who has been reappointed to the office of county attorney, stated he believed a county sheriff has the right to In and out fees. This question is much mooted and the courts have held adverse to Mr, Robbins opinion. Look for our Ladies' Muslin garment Sale in tomorrow's paper. Knollenberg's

lil'S HEXT RACE,

Longboat and Shrubb to Run Full Marathon Distance.' v BOTH MEN TITLE HOLDERS. Famous English Runner Has Hung V.t Many World's Records Race to Be Held In New York Jan. 26 Five Cornered Event Planned. By THOMAS F. CLARK. Unless there is a hitch in the plans two of the greatest distance runners in the world Tom Longboat, the Canadian Indian, and Alfred Shrubb, the phenomenal little Englishman will meet in an indoor Marathon in Madison Square Garden, New York, Jan6. Longboat and Shrubb are two of the speediest distance men in the - Ts,, ALFRED SHRUBB, ENOI-AND'S GREAT DISTANCE RCNNEB. world. The Indian's twenty-five mile record of 2 hours 24 minutes 20 4-5 seconds, which he made through mud, sleet and snow in the Boston Marathon of 1907, never has been approached. Shrubb while running as an amateur under the colors of the South London Harriers and the West of Scotland Harriers, hung up world's records at all distances from two to eleven miles that have never been equaled. , His time for two miles was 9 minutes 0 3-5 seconds against the best American figures of 0 minutes 27 4-5 seconds, made by Alex Grant, the Canadian, who used to sportthe Mercury foot of the New York Athletic club. Shrubb's superiority becomes more manifest as the distances increase. His world's record of 11 miles 1,137 yards for an hour's running overshadows everything in the distance line. The American one hour record is 10 miles 1,182 1-3 yards, made by S. Thomas in 18S9. On form Shrubb easily should outrun the Indian. The redskin's supporters, however, say the Englishman never has shown that he can go more than fifteen miles. They say Shrubb will crack soon after the fifteenth milepost Is passed and that Longboat will lope up from behind and catch him. Some of the experts, however, assert that Alflo is so fast for fifteen miles that he will gain such a lead on Longboat that he will be able to lie down and take a rest before Longboat gets up to him. That Shrubb respects Longboat's prowess at twenty-five miles is evinced by the Englishman's attempt to force Longboat to post a $2,000 forfeit to meet him in a series of ten, fifteen and twenty mile races after the coming contest. Shrubb is so far superior to the majority of professional winners that he has had to run them in relays, none caring to meet him singly. He recently Returned to Boston from Toronto, where he captured three races against relays of Canadians. He always is in condition. Shrubb now is coaching Harvard's distance men. Shrubb has been training right along In view of a "race with longboat and recently did twelve miles in an hour and twenty-two seconds. He says he is good and tit right now. Comparing his recent performances with those of Longboat and Dorando, he is five m'.nutes faster than either up to ten miles and has run fifteen in eijiht better than either of the Marathoners. Whatever be the result of the Shrubb-Longboat contest, it is said a five cornered long distance event between Porando, Shrubb, Longboat. Sniallwood and Hayes will be heJ4 in New, York alwut the middle of February. Plan New Athletic League. De Paul is behind a movement to form an athletic league similar to the "big eight' conference. Besides De Paul, those mentioned in the plan are Marquette, Notre Dame, St. Louis, Wabash, Creighton, 'Michigan Agricultural college and Ames. All of these teams are playing practically independent football, and it is believed that a league would materially strengthen the athletic relations of ail the Institutions.

Miss Vera Wentworth, a British suffragist, was kept in Holloway jail a day behind her companions for cutting "Votes for Women!" on the wall of her cell. She says: "We used to make the whole ward laugh; by, playing 'Votes for Women' tunes on my comb .One day we organized a great lark. By putting our ears to the wails we could hear the prisoner in the next cell, and so we all agreed to roar like hungry animals at" dinner; time. We made a fearful noise, but the wardress could do nothing. -- because there were so many of us. . -

COLDEST III 2 YEARS

Blizzard Rages in the Northwest With 25 Degrees Below at St. Paul. RICHMOND A CHILLY PLACE Chicago, Jan. 6. The coldest weather in two years prevails throughout the northwest, accompanied by blizzards. St. Paul, with 25 degrees below zero, headed the list of low temperatures in United States. From rain and 40 degrees above zero at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, to snow, blizzard and 10 degrees above zero at 11 o'clock last evening was the local record for yesterday. It continued cold all day today and the temperature did not range higher than 15 in the most protected parts and in the exposed places went several degress below this mark. The change in the weather will result, no doubt, in an epidemic of grippe. It was the first real wintry weather of the season. Coal men, physicians and the ice gatherers are expected, to reap the benefit of the conditions. MEDICS HOLD FIRST MEETING Physicians Start New Year in Auspicious Manner. The Wayne County Medical Society will hold its first meeting of the year this Afternoon at the court house. Several questions of interest were considered.

Judge Fox of the Wayne circuit cou- - announced this morning he will call the docket through Thursday, but no court will be held Friday. The Judge did not state his reason for not holding court Friday. It is said he will be out of the city. REFUSE BASKET. Device For Getting Rid of Household Accumulations. : "Oh, my! Whatever shall I do with all this rubbish?" exclaims the housekeeper, beholding & miscellaneous collection of papers, scraps and pasteboard boxes, the roundup of the regular weekly cleaning. "The ashman declines to take anything but ashes, the rubbish man picks out only such as he THE PROCESS IS OPERATION. can find use for, and the secondhand man will have nothing but the whole j papers, and they must be clean at that." This little monologue may be heard most anywhere. The conditions are' about the same in any place of large or medium size. There Is a great deal of accumulated material around a bouse which is quite difficult : to dispose of. It might be burned, but ' an effort to dispose of the mass In an ordinary stove would more than likely : lead to disaster, even it the stove Is of suitable proportions to accommodate the collection. Most of them are not. The housekeeper's quandary has led to the Invention of a model device to be added to the equipment of the household. It Is a refuse destructor, In which the accumulations of the household are to be disposed of by burning In the back yard without dap. ger. The destructor is a basket of wire built on an iron frame, supporting it several inches above the ground. Into this the household accumulations are dumped as well as the sweepings. A match applied soon reduces a big pile to a handful of dust Such a i device solves completely the problem of the disposal of a great deal of ma- j terlaL The Latest Fad. The latest fad for serving after dinner coffee is the individual percolator of copper, nickel or brass, -with tray and screen. The .set costs $6. The steaming miniature coffee maker has a lamp which is lighted by the guest after the trays are brought to the table.

WILL DEMAND THE FORFEIT The Initiative in reaching a settlement with the contractors Caldwell & Drake of the Y. M. C. A. building will be taken by the building committee. This was the determination reached by the members meeting yesterday afternoon upon learning that the contractors had made no advance to turn over the building or to collect what was due them. This action on the part of the contractors is not to be explained by the members of the comnr'ttee, hence their action. The exact amount due the contractors is not known but will amount to approximately $50,000. The association will claim that the contractors make a forfeiture of $1,695 for failure to complete the building on the date specified in the contract. CITY STATISTICS. Births. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Maroney, 220 North Second street, boy; second child. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hissen, 235 South Fourteenth street, girl; first child. John Carroll.

Queen Alexandra's Taete Is Conservative, but Abeelutely Perfect. Alexandra, queen of England, sets the fashions for Great Britain. The queen's taste is conservative, but perfect. It is so faultless that paintings and photogi. hs of this 'beautiful woman m de years ago never look old fashioned or out of date. The portrait of her by Winterhalter, made just after she was married, though presenting her in the crinoline of the time, shows the elegantly dressed woman even to the critical eye of today, for the keynote of her taste Is simplicity, and that Is the one thing that never grows old fashioned. Though in the sixties, the queen has still a perfect figure, which is- always dressed in long lines to accentuate Its height, whether In her coronation robes or In a simple tailored waist and skirt. The queen disdains furbelows of any kind, and many another queen, piling the Ossa of trimming on the Pellon of frills, has wondered why she could not achieve the distinction of the British queen's simple attire. Of late years the queen has dressed almost entirely in mauves, violets and grays black and white, but her favorite colors are pale pink and blue, and these are always Introduced In her apartments wherever she may be staying. The accompanying cut shows one of ber favorite sitting rooms done in white and pale pearly gray silk. The rug and draperies Introduce the pink and blue, and, as in all apartments of the queen, there are quantities ef flowers. The plants In this room rest In gray wlckerwork Jardinieres. The furniture Is. of the first empire, the screens and pillows in brocades showing pink and blue on a gray foundation. The whole shows the perfection of refined simplicity.

While they make a very Imposing sight and the legislators were glad to see them and to shake hands with them and to take a "hol6t" with them everybody is saying that they came too early to do any good and that they should have saved their money. This Is the only real delegation that has shown up, and no others expected until about the time for the democrats to caucus on the senatorBhip. Who Called Meeting? Nobody has been able yet to find out who called the democratic caucus for yesterday afternoon at the Denison hotel. It developed that all the letters making the call and which were sent to the members of the house were mailed at Crawfordsville, but the democratic statesmen from Montgomery county deny with scorn the insinuation that any of them sen them out.
