PUBLICITY FOB FALL FESTIVAL VERY EXTENSIVE

Directors of the Organization '" Plan the Most Extensive System of Advertising Ever Attempted Here. NEWS BUREAU WILL BE A NEW FEATURE Directors Are Considering a Plan to Invite Editors Here To Encourage Enlargement Of the Affair. The directors of the Richmond fall festival, held in this city the first part of October, have decided on a publicity and advertising campaign that is absolutely unique for this section of the country, although it has been used with great success by many of the enterprising cities west of the Mississippi river. The -method employed last year of posting bills throughout the contribWestern' Ohio, and also Inserting paid advertisements in the various news papers In these districts, will also be employed again this year, but the new feature of the great advertising campaign 'will be the establishment of a news service, copied after such great news distributing agencies as the Hearst Service and the Associated Press, which will distribute to the newspapers in the "fall festival belt' valuable news, of Interest to the readers of the various papers, concerning Richmond. Wayne county, the fall festival and, also, news which will be of special interest to newspaper pat rons outside of Wayne county. Will Draw Crowds. This newa bureau will be operated by three local newspaper men and the fruits of the articles they will write, it is anticipated, suchJ crowds of out of town, people as this city has never before laid eyes upon. This new publicity system is really the first step in the direction of making the annual Richmond fall festival, not only a Richmond and Wayne county event, but an event which the peoI pie of neighboring counties In Eastern 'Indiana and Western Ohio can claim 'as their own, as much as Wayne county people can. It is argued that such events are benefits to all the localities referred to and that, Inasmuch as Richmond is the largest city in the district embraced, the logical place to uviu auuu ivBiiTBiB wuuia ue uus cuy. With the enlarging of the zone of the fall festival, residents of neighboring counties would, of course, be eligible to compete in the many prises offered. ';M' .. . One plan the board of directors has under consideration is the Issuing of Invitations to all the editors of papers in the contributary territory to attend the fall festival one day, at the expense of the festival organisation. By this plan the editors could be shown the importance of the event, how it could, by enlargement, be a. direct benefit to the communities in which they reside, and encourage them to lend assistance to the movement . Ml APPROPRIATIOU MADE BY COUNCIL Presents the Fire Department Fund with $1,000. Under the provisions of an ordi nance placed upon its passage at last (sight's council meeting, an appropria tion of $1,000 is made to the miscel , laneous fund of the fire department. !The larger part of the money will be t spent for the purchase of new hose. The condition of some of the hose is bad and H will not stand the heavy water pressure. So much water is lost by leakage that in case of fire the available pressure is decreased materially.

James Connolly, "the Irish orator." of Dublin and New York, will deliver a public eddress In the Interests of so cialism at the corner of Mam and Sixth streets the last three evenings of the week.

WILL PAVE STREETS

Council Makes Ready for Passage of Ordinance Requiring Improvement. EIGHTH STREET NEEDS IT By the action of council last evening the ordinance providing for the improvement of Eighth street by paving between North and South A streets was made ready for final passage. This improvement will be one of the most important made this summer. The property owners will select the kind of paving to be used. It will be either brick, wood, bitulitic or asphalt. The street is one of the most prominent in- the city and at present is in bad condition. It has been macadamized several times, but this is not sufficiently wear resisting to guarantee further expense in similar improvement. COMPLAIN AREOISTURBERS Police Told They Break Up Meetings. - Complaint has been made to the police by men and women engaged in mission work at the corner of Main and Fourth streets that small boys interrupt the meetings. Disgraceful antics of various sorts have been resorted to Dy the boys in molesting the worshippers. While a policeman Is on guard the boys behave quite decently but as soon as the copper turns his back they begin again in their pranks. The youths, some of whom are eighteen years or older, mimic the persons attending the meeting and in other ways try to attract the attention of bystanders who set up loud guffaws as if in enjoyment of the ridiculous spectacle. BOARD SUBMITS H TO PAU HANDLE Offers to Dispose of a Section Of the County Farm to the Railroad Company for the Sum of $3,006. REQUIRE A GUARANTEE OF WATER RIGHTS Proposal Received by the Lo cal Company Officials Has Been Referred to Officials At Pittsburg. By the terms of a proposition the county commissioners have placed before the Pennsylvania' railroad, an of fer to dispose of the land desired by the company for double tracking its system through the county farm, is made at $3,000. The matter has been referred to the offices of the railroad. The railroad asks for 124 acres. The county bought the land at $125 per acre. -. The commissioners state in the pro position the county will sell the land for $3,000. and the railroad company is to agree to allow the county the use of the water from the springs on Jackson hill for a water supply at the farm. as provided for in the contract of 1866. The board releases the right to the underground crossing located at the east side of the farm and agrees there shall be no crossing between Noland'a Fork and the present grade crossing at the farm. The board releases the railroad from all obligations to provide transportations for paupers to and from the farm, as provided for in a grant of 1851. Claims of Board. Under the 1886 agreement, the railroad would have the right to take the land it desires for changing Its tracks without reimbursing the company. But the commissioners and county attorney claim the old board of commissioners had no authority to enter Into such a contract, , inasmuch as It bound the county perpetually.: The commissioners arranged to bring injunction pro ceedings, but demurred at the request of the railroad and amicable means of settlement of the question are now being attempted. The release of the grant from the railroad company to transport paupers to and from the county farm from points In the county was not considered by the commissioners as much, of a consideration.

PROPOSITION

Battling to the Death Today Are Lawyers and Journalists

Out at the athletic park this afternoon an epoch making game of baseball is being played. History of tbe present age will speak of this contest with as fond affection as it did the life of the venerable Father Chadwick, who originated the game, as it now is being played. Sheriff Meredith and his picked warriors are doing stunts for the amusement of -the newspaper men. A crowd of the city's best is witnessing the game. It Is like a story of the Civil war. Brother is arrayed against brother in this greatest battle of them alL The famous Jessup and Robblns families second only to the Delehanty family in baseball lore are applying players to both sides. Arrayed with the attorneys are to be found Wilfred Jessup and Byram Robblns. On the side of the defenders of free press are Willard Jessup and Philip Robbins. Can there be anything more heart rending than brother fighting brother for the glory of the cause? Tbe fame of the game has spread so rapidly that war correspondents arrived today from the metropolitan news papers. William Hershel, who was A IS EXPLODED TODAY Charges Against Andrew M. Hoover, Well Known Farmer, Are Dismissed. PROSECUTOR HAS DOUBTS HE BELIEVES PROSECUTING WITNESS, IDA GLEASON, HAD AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE IN FILING THE CHARGES. Upon the motion of the prosecuting attorney, the case of the state ex rel Ida Gleason vs. Andrew M. Hoover, was dismissed in circuit court this morning. ' This brings to an end one of the most sensational cases of its kind that has been filed in local courts In recent years. The woman charged Hoover, who is a prominent" fanner re siding north of the city, with being the father of an unborn child. In his motion to dismiss the case, the prose cutor states the relatrix has refused to verify statement she had previously made to him and that he does not now believe her condition to be such as she represented. The state's attorney has intimated he believes the woman had an ulterior motive in bringing her proceedings. At first the prosecutor believed the story, but he has now repudiated the woman's claims and removes from Hoover all charges of an odious nature. He says there is no material evidence now to be had to prove the facts set forth in the original complaint What She Represented. When the case was filed, the Gleason woman represented to the prosecutor she was in a serious condition as the result of too intimate relations with Hoover. The matter was taken into Justice's court and a settlement at tempted. Hoover refused to meet the woman's terms, although it is alleged, he at one time made her an offer of money. The matter then was brought to the attention of the circuit court. It was but a short , time following the disclosures in the case, Hoover's wife sued him for divorce. She charged him with misconduct and the name of the Gleason woman was used as a paramour. It was claimed he was indiscreet in his expenditure of money, which was wasted In excesses. But a short timeafterward,' the Hoovers became reconciled- The divorce complaint was withdrawn and the couple took up married life again. The pro secutor affects to be disgusted with the termination of the case. THE WEATHER PROPHET. INDIANA Fair and warmer.

FOB MAKING THE RALLY BIG EVEUT Methodist Centennial Conflicts With the Plans of Wayne County Sunday School Association. - ONE HOUR DEVOTED TO ORGANIZATION Invitation to Speak at the Event Has Been Extended Herbert Moniger, Cincin nati, a Noted Worker. The Wayne county Sunday School Association will not have the big rally one day during the local Chautauqua, as proposed. Plans for holding a gi gantic picnic preceded by an Immense parade through the business districts of the city, have been abandoned. Inasmuch as the Methodists of Wayne county will celebrate the cen tennial anniversary of the establishment of the creed In this county, during the same week that it was proposed to have the big Sunday school rally. the Chautauqua officials were of the opinion that it would not be a wise policy to hold two big religious gatherings so close together, so it was sug gested that Sunday school feature and the Methodist centennial celebration both be held on the same day. To Secure Speaker. This decision made It necessary for the Sunday School Association oncers to abandon all Diana for makinr the rally an elaborate event. It is now planned to devote one hour, on the morning- of Aueust 19. at the Chautau qua grounds, to the Interests of the Sunday schools of the county. This hour will be nractlcallv taken an by an address by some prominent Sunday school worker, probably Herbert Mont eer of Cincinnati, editor of the Chris tian Publishing comoanr. The speakers' committee or tne sundav School Association met last even ing, and decided to invite Mr. Moniger to speak here. This morning a com munication was sent to him. but up to the present time no word has been re ceived from him. The Rev. T. J. Graham, president of the Association, stated this morning that all the Sunday school children- in the cnuntv would be invited to attend the rally, but that he did not antici pate a very large crowd, owing to the fact that there was not enough Inducements offered to bring the children to the city. "The young children would not care much to sit for one hour and listen to an address on Sunday school work," he remarked. JUSTICE HAUSQn UdlOOE OFFICER Dalton Township Official's Term Is Up But He Still Serves. HAS NEVER MADE REPORT THIS BECAUSE FEES COLLECTED NEVER AMOUNTED TO THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS HIS MILEAGE WOULD BE. In Zimri Hanson, of Dalton township Wayne county has a justice of the peace who probably holds the most unique record claimed by any Jusaice in the state. He has been in office since 1895. He has been elected twice. the last time in 1903. He has held office since the expiration of his last four year term, because of the construction of the law, which permits a justice to retain office until bis successor is elected and qualified. During Hanson's career as a justice, he has never made a report of the fees he has collected. The law provides that a justice shall make a report as soon as the fines he has assessed amount to three times the mileage he would be allowed. He Is supposed to make written reports If the fines have not amounted to this much. Hanson is said to have $5 be has collected, but as this is not three times his mileage he has never come to the courthouse to make a report and never has returned one in writing. : WHITE IS ADMITTED Fred Whiteof Franklin township, a graduate of Harvard, has been admitted to the Wayne county bar.

Cannot Find Clue of Robbers Of the Residence of J. R. Millikin. COMPLETELY RANSACKED The police are baffled for a clue In connection with the robbery at the residence of J. R. Millikin on South Eleventh street. The house was entered Sunday night, it is believed, and completely ransacked. It is not known to the police what articles of value were stolen. The thieves went over the entire house devllng Into chests, drawers and wardrobes. It is not known whether or not they found any thing to reward them for their pains. as the Milllkins are out of the city. That something might be wrong about the MilHkin premises was first sur mised by Samuel Buckley, a neighbor. He noticed a rear window was open and upon investigation found the house had been entered. IS GOOD TESTIMONY TF. Uncle of the Suicide Woman Has One Showing the IrJenlitis ni tha riAlniipa ft Man in the Case. PICTURE COMPARED WITH AN OLD PHOTO Comparison Shows a Marked Similarity and tt Seems To Be Powerful Evidence Against Man. Indianapolis, July 20. An important photographic addition to -the evidence that Is being collected to prove, that Prank R. Adams, whose wife commit ted suicide at the Pasadena flats in this city recently, is the same Adams that has another wife In Delaware. O., was found today. Striking points of similarity between two photographs of the Delaware and the Indianapolis Ad ams tell the story. The pictures were taken more than ten years apart, but tbe features of both are much alike. The Delaware picture was taken prior to 1895. , Tbe Indianapolis picture was taken three or four years ago. The Delaware picture shows the Delaware Adams to have had a musta ie. The Indianapolis Adams Is without that adornment, but friends of the Indianapolis Adams say he. had a habft of growing a mustache and suddenly discarding It Easily Recognized. Edwin D. Wright, a conductor living at 252 Miley avenue, this city, an uncle of the Mrs. Adams who committed suicide, easily recognised the similar ity in the forehead, cose and chin of the two photographs. He knew the picture without the mustache best, for Adams was a frequent visitor to the Wright home for several years, both before and after his marriage to Elisa beth Wooster, of Logans port, Mr. Wright's niece. Another point made by Mr. Wright that goes to prove the Delaware and Indianapolis Adams to be one - and the same. Is that his niece's husband was a fine musician. He played the piano beautifully, and talked music a great deal. The Dela ware Adams was once an Instructor In music st the Ohio Wesleyan univer sity at that place. Gratified Any Whim. "He used to come to our house with Lizzie (Mrs. Adams, the suicide) and they seemed very devoted," said Mr. Wright "She was one of the prettiest women I ever saw and attracted at tentlon. Adams seemed very devoted and lavished money on her. We al ways wondered where be got so much money, for he never seemed to be working very hsrd at any particular thing." "He used to buv Lizzie handsome presents, added Mrs. Wright. "We often remarked on that. He once bought her a sealskin coat that cost him 500. Lizzie used to laugh and say that all she had to do was to ask for a think and she got it. Once she passed a jewelry store window and saw a beautiful necklace In It. He asked her If she liked It and she, of course, answered that she did. He went right in and bought It. 'But she never seemed to be particularly happy, for she told us once that she wished she was back as a waitress in the hotel and owned only a couple of white waists and a black skirt. As It was she had all the clothes and luxuries a woman could hope for. But we never could understand where lie go so much money. Mr. and Mrs. Wright know nothing of the Delaware end of Adams's life except what has been telegraphed from that point. They hare followed the story closely and are positive that the Adams of tbe two cttiaa la the

C. ft St. L. railroad to ele vate its tracks, which cut through the middle of the town, from approximately ten feet to thirty feet, with open disgust, and Cambridge City proposes to. raise a life-elsed "kick. "Does the railroad company think that we will stand for the erection of a Chinese wall right through the middle of town?" Cambridge City asks. Then Cambridge replies to Itself, In the next breath. "We will not stand for ItDemand a Viaduct. Cambridge City people say that the present ten foot embankment la bad enough, but if the railroad company proposes to elevate Its tracks twenty feet higher It must eliminate the embankment and place the tracks on a steel viaduct If the Cambridge City people oppose the present plans of the railroad company as. strenuously as they say they win, ii is ijuue prapanie ma.b un result of the fight will be the replacing of the nreaent rmhinkm.nt with a. steel viaduct It is understood that the railroad company has planned to use the dirt taken from the cut now being made on the line between Cambridge City and Dublin, and use It la elevating" the fill through Cambridge City. The grade between Cambridge City and Dublin Is the. steepest at any point on the line between Indianapolis and Columbus, O., and the company proposes Into Dublin at least eighteen feet Want The J. M. A I Cambridge City people are also up In arms at the proposed action of the P. C C ft St L. in removing the J. M. ft I. terminus from Cambridge City to Dublin. . Railroad engineers say this will be necessary because of the elevation of the. P. C. C. ft St L. tracks at Cam bridge Citr. It Is nointed oat that the J. M. ft L now taps the P. C.
