DEVELOPMEHT OF WEST SIDE PARK

Project to Have Attention of West Richmond Improvement Association. RIVER DRIVEWAY WANTED BEFORE THI3 MOVE IS UNDERTAKEN, HOWEVER, 8ITE PURCHASED BY THE CITY WILL BE GREATLY IMPROVED. The development of the West Side park will demand the attention of the Wt Richmond Improvement association, during the ensuing year, according to plans made last evening at the meeting of the organization. The association has been successful in getting the city to purchase the site for the proposed park, west bank of the Whitewater river. Owing to the lack of funds the development of the site into a park will be hampered slightly. However, such details as keeping the grounds clean and free from weeds and unsightly brush, will be considered. A few lawn swings and seats will probably be installed. Later, the association intends to carry out its plans of making a beautiful driveway at the top of the river bank. 8tanding Committees. The standing committees were an Bounced, and include the following members: Public Service Dr. E. B. Grosvenor chairman, A. D. Hole, Frank Waidele, E. G. McMahan and Jesse Bailey. Public Grounds and Buildings A. M. Gardner, chairman, O. H. Little, C. K. Chase, E. J. Smith and Thomas Hubbard. Civic Beauty Caleb King, chairman, George Matthews, Chas. K. Moore and Thomas Elleman. Industries Richard Sedgwick chairman, John Fosler and Roscoe Kirkman. MRS. BOOT RECOVERING. Mrs. Stevens Root, -who has been confined to her home at 1017 North A street for the past several weeks with rheumatism, is slowly Improving. Bloated Stomach and Belching Of Gas Is Prevented by Using Charcoal, Which Absorbs and Removes Stomach Gases. This accumulation of gas in the stomach, Is caused in the following ways: 1. It may be swallowed in large quantities during certain abnormal . conditions of the stomach and -food-tract 2. It may be produced by decomposition of food in the alimentary system. 3. It is often evolved from changes of the mucous secretions themselves. 4. Transuded from the blood. 6. Regurgitated from the duodenum or first portion of the small intestines, and in some cases from a fistulous communication with the large intestine. 6. Gas of an extremely offensive kind is produced by the decomposition of a morbid growth in the stomach, such as cancer, ulcer, tumor, etc. 1. Some forma of food are more prone than others to cause stomach gas, including sugar, starch, beans, peas, etc. To relieve the distressing symptoms of gaseous distension of the stomach, no matter what the cause may be, it has been found by numerous experiments that the most reliable and valuable remedy is charcoal, which directly absorbs all gaseous substances in the alimentary system, besides oxidizing and destroying foul odors, and antiseptically cleaning the stomach and intestinal system from one end to the other as thoroughly as soap and water cleanses the skin. The late Dr. Leared of England strongly advocated the use of willow charcoal in the form of lozenges for the alleviation of such stomach symptoms as indigestion, fermentation, decomposition and bloating. It Has also been found extremely serviceable in relieving secondary fermentative changes in the large intestine, when administered in the form of an enema. In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges we have the very best form in which this great gas absorbent and purifier can be administered. They are composed of the finest willow wood, treated by a special carbonizing process, and after) being complned with pure honey to 1 render them palatable, they are com-! pressed into a lozenge, which is as agreeable to the palate as candv. and no one could possibly object to their taste. Go to your druggist ad purchase a package of these powerful little absorbents, which are capable of absorbing 100 times their own volume In gases, but be sure to ask for Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, as there are numerous cheap and inferior substitutes and Imitations on the market, and it may be that you have given one of these minor brands a trial, and found that it, did not give satisfaction; if so, don't fail to try Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges .as their superiority and the vast difference between them and the others will be so strongly marked and sa striking, that you will ever afterward decline , all substitutes and insist on having this pre-eminently superior brand..:: Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges at all druggists, 25 cents a box. , - Send us your name and address, and we will send a free trial package to , you by return mail.

DIES WEALTHY MAN " tJ ipriinn DnitAn" Burrell of Made a Specialty Matrimony. HACKMEN ASSISTED HIM Philadelphia, Oct. 16. The death of the Rev. William H. Burrell in Cam den recalls the days when that clergyman was known far an'd near as the marrying parson." For twenty years before the passage of the present law requiring licenses before contracting marriage in Camden, Mr. Burrell married thousands of pairs. Camden at that time was the "Gretna Green" to which persons fled to avoid the red tape and publicity attending weddings in their home states. Mr. Burrell was quick to see there was more money in specializing in the ministry, as well as in other professions, an'd he adopted the subject of matrimony as his particular branch. He made a fortune. Cab men, it was said, were in league with Mr. Burrell and received a percentage of the fees. The clergyman's home, 43;. Cooper street, was near all ferries and his wife was nearly always one of the witnesses. Not Infrequently there would be several pairs in his parlor at the same time waiting their turn to be told they were man and wife. Mr. Burrell's matrimonial business at one time was cut into by another clergyman, who reduced rates and offered larger inducements to the hackmen. The second clergyman did a big business, but suddenly left. The report at the time was that Mr. Burrell had induced him to go for a money consideration. . When the Lloyd marriage license law went into effect, Mr. Burrell had sufficient money to retire, but occasionally he has since officiated at the marriages of those who came from other sections of New Jersey and do not require licenses. Mr. Burrell was a Methodist Episcopal clergyman. He was one of the founders of Ocean City and the first postmaster of that resort. He was 87 years old and greatly enfeebled by age. Kidney trouble was the direct cause of death. KHOT WAS SEVERED The animosity existing between Mrs. Elizabeth J. Crook and her husband, George W. Crook was such that they decided they would never live together and this morning the ties that bind were legally severed by Judge Fox -of the circuit court, although the tie had become unknotted many weeks ago. Attorney T. J. Study represented the defendant in the divorce case but made no stringent effort to prevent the plaintiff from securing her divorce. ,

THREE CLAIM MONEY

Contest Over Award for Character Taking Part in Fantastic Parade. AN INVESTIGATION MADE Although but one person represented a woman suffering with St. Vitus Dance in the Mardi Gras parade, of the Fall Festival, the night of Friday, October 8, yet three persons claimed the prize when the judges announced that this character had won third money. The committee has been investigating the case, since then, to establish the identity of the real portrayer of the character and today announced that the prize had been given to Frank Taggart. Frank Hebbler and a man by the name of Miller also claimed the prize. John Reid, who wore a sheath gown was awarded second money for the most grotesque character in the parade. The Protected Home Circle of Sharon won first prize for having the greatest percentage of its members in the parade. St. Joseph's Benevolent Society was awarded second prize. This organization had the largest representation in the parade but not the largest percentage of its members. HERB LEAVES CITY But After the Winter, Golf Instructor Will Return to Country Club. TO IMPROVE CLUB HOUSE James B. Herr, the professional golf instructor at the Country club left yesterday for points in the south where he will spend the winter. Mr. Herr has been the most popular instructor the club has ever had and he will be retained again next year. He will probably return a little earlier next year, about April 1, in order to put the links in good condition and have everything in readiness when the golf season opens. The present grounds of the club have been leased from the Cemetery association for ten years with the provision that the directors of the club be permitted to break the contract by giving a year's notice. There will be a meeting of the directors next Tuesday night when the matter of Improving the club house and grounds will be discussed. The club house will undergo some radical changes. A large dancing pavilion will probably be added and more adequate dressing quarters will be provided. The links will also be enlarged, it is said, and when completed the course will be one of the "sparsest" in the state.

TREASURERS NOT TO STIO UP Threatened Uprising of County Officials Has Now Faded Away. A UNIFORM TAX RECEIPT PROPOSED BY THE STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS, A RADICAL DEPARTURE, WAS THE CAUSE OF THE BIG KICK. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 16. The threatened uprising among the county treasurers of the state has faded into this air. as a result of the visit of William F. Scheiman, treasurer of Allen county, to the State Board of Accounts yesterday. Scheiman is president of the State association of county treasurers. A week or two ago it was discovered that the state board of accounts had prepared a form for the uniform tax receipt which is to be used in all of the counties in the state. In many ways the new form was a radical departure from the forms which are now used, and the treasurers all over the state went up in the air when this was found out. The state board discovered that each county was using a different form of tax receipt, making ninety-two different forms that were being used. The board found that it would be Impossible for it or its examiners to make uniform examinations or establish uniform bookkeeping in the offices of the county treasurers with the various kinds of receipts in use. Prepare New Form. So it was decided to prepare a new form and require its use in all of the counties. One of the requirements' was that the receipts should not be printed in loose leaf form, but that they should be bound and numbered consecutively, with the numbered duplicate underneath it. And the receipt was not to be removed from the bound book for any purpose except for delivery to the taxpayer after payment had been made. It was discovered that this would revolutionize the methods of handling tax receipts In the treasurers office in several of the larger counties of the state, and a roar went up at once. Then the state board made a change in the system and provided that the recepts might be printed in loose leaf form, but that each receipt shall be accounted for to the state board, and that the duplicate in a bound book shall show the issuance of each receipt. Scheiman received letters galore from county treasurers throughout the state in which they asked him to do something to head off the board in what they termed its revolutionary program. Scheiman came to town yesterday, ready to do battle with tha state board on the tax receipt proposition, but when he found that the board had changed the form so as to allow the treasurers to have them prepared in loose leaf style, he readily agreed with the board that the new plan was the best that could be prepared. So he went back home and the threatened revolution among the county treasurers will not take place. VERY OS" SIGN Modern Electrical Advertising Introduced Here by Omer Murray. REPRESENTS A FOUNTAIN A large and very attractive electric sign has been placed in front of the Murray theater which adds materially to the appearance of the building and the beauty of Main street in general. The word "Vaudeville is spelled out by the lights, the sign being suspended in a vertical position. At the top of the sign green lights representing a fountain have been placed, so arranged to flash that it bears the appearance of spouting water. The deception is carried still farther by a row of light running down on either side of the word - "vaudeville,' looking exactly like .running water. - Sot clever la the

Festive Hazing Season Is Now

Alliance, O.. Oct. 16. The authorities of Mount Union college threaten to inflict drastic penalties on the upper classmen who smeared Foster Whitten, a freshman, with tar, feathers, and leaves, in the woods near the college, Thursday. The faculty learned of the hazing when Whitten appeared in class yesterday, contrary to the orders of the hazers, with his skin scoured off from efforts to get rid of the tar, and with his hair all cut off except for the scalp lock. The hazers, masked, broke Into Whitten's room after he had gone to bed. They carried him in a blanket to the woods, and took along his piloptical Illusion that one is almost afraid of walking under the sign in the fear of getting wet. The cascade of brilliant colored elec trie lights is a big improvement and gives the city a metropolitan appearance that is greatly desired. A number of new and novel electric signs have been placed on Main street recently and that thoroughfare is rapidly gaining a reputation for Its brilliant and striking Illumination. The Murray sign would be a credit to a much larger city than Richmond and it is the occasion of much favorable comment. In a big Atlantic liner there are over one thousand tons of piping of various kinds. The boiler tubes, if placed end to end, would stretch about ten miles, the condenser tubes over twenty-five miles. The condensers pump up more than fifty thousand tons of water a day ' and the furnaces consume about eight million cubic feet of air an hour.

Roma Evans. '13. of Traverse City, mounted the first pole and palled down the "M" pennant in exactly four minutes after the gun announced the opening of the rush, and a few minutes later the first year men ended the rush by capturing a second banner attached to another pole. The injuries were few and none serious. . Burley Jacobs. Julius Martlnedt, and J. Woodruff Scott, all sophomores, were carried from the field, but all recovered. The students were not satisfied with the simplified rush and want a retention of the old kind of rush or total abolition.
