LESLIE A. WILLS STOREJS BOmiED Former Cambridge City Man Sustains Loss at Indianapolis Yesterday.
WORK OF AN INCENDIARY?
NO CLEW HA8 BEEN FOUND BY
THE POLICE WHICH WOULD 8HOW WHO WA8 RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE BIG BLAZE.
Indianapolis. Nov. 9. An incendiary fire destroyed the building occupied by
Leslie A. Wills, druggist, at 2115 Mar-
tindale avenue, yesterday. wills ror niprlv resided at Cambridge City.
There was clear evidence that an in-
mndlarv was resnonsible for the fire.
but the police who were called to the
nlaoe. were unable to find a clew.
The buildins was a one-story frame
structure about 25x."V0 feet In size, and
the drug store occupied the entire structure with the exception of a room
in the rear, which was used by Wills as a living room until about two
weeks ago. When the alarm -was sounded the fire had spread all over the stores and the flames were bursting from the roof when the department arrived. There was no chance to save the property. Wllls's loss was upward of $2,000, and the loss on the building was about $1,000. Firenien Make Investigation. As soon Vs the fire was out the firemen made ait Investigation, and they found evidenceVihat the fire had been started in two places, as shown by holes burned in the floor. At one ninr the firemen said the fire had
been started under a counter, and the other place was on the opposite side of the room. The several streams of water thrown Into the place protected the other parts of the floor from being burned. The firemen said it would have been impossible for the fire to start in the different places had not some one planned it. BIcyclemen Hunter and Reidy were watching the ruins when the druggist came to open his business. H? was shocked when he saw the fire, partly for the reason that he had allowed some of his Insurance to lapa-j recently. Wills was satisfied the fire was of incendiary origin. Owned by Brewery Company. The building was owned by the Terre Haute Brewing company. - The police suspected that some of the neighbors had burned the store, but could not find any evidence to substantiate their opinion. Wills said he had no enemies that he knew of, and that no objection had ever been raised against the store. He said he had moved to get more pleasant living quarters. The fire was reported to the detective department. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed to cure any case of Itching, Blind.

A MAMMOTH'S TOOTH
The tooth of a hairy mammoth has been found near Splceland, Henry county, workmen discovering the rarity when ditching on the farm of William Beard. The tooth is well preserved. A number of other bones and tusks of this species of mammoth have been found in the gravel beds In Henry county, establishing beyond all doubt that Eastern Indiana must have been a popular resort for these animals, which were larger than elephants.

OTIS SKINNER. Who will be seen at the Oennett November 16.
AND WITH BELLS ON. Roy Peck, Richmond Boy, Blows Into the Murray. It is true that the bill at the Murray last week was not a tempting morsel, not a dose you would want to take twice without quarreling, but this week Manager Murray offers four good attractions, appreciated greatly by a large house last evening. Just because Roy Peck is now a wealthy vaudeville star,, owning a steam yacht and a racing stable, do not think the writer has been subsidized when he states that Mr. Peck is one fine black face comedian and his pardner. Mr.
Harris, ably assists him in a very laughable, wnoiesome sketch. Peck has the strut of the late lamented
Press Watklns, and the speech of our
esteemed fellow townsman and prom inent circus chef, Mr. Hunk Johnson
Having these accomplishments down
pat it is unnecessary to state further that Mr. Peck can. with ease and
grace play the part of a negro.
As for the rest of the show the Ren-
nee family of singers have a very
pleasing act. The Romale troupe of
acrobats is a top line attraction and Handson and Drew In their little rural
sketch are up to advance notices. W. R. P.
RAILROAD QUESTION
Railroads in Dispute Over the
Stop-over Ticket Privilege.
IT IS FAVORED BY SOME
Owipg to the fact that many travel
ers abuse the stop over privilege, and unusued portions of the tickets are
sold to "scalpers," many of the west
ern roads have started a war to discon
tinue the privilege. Some time ago these privileges were almost unlimited and travelers were permitted to stop
over at large cities and resorts oa
tickets sold for a considerable distance
It is alleged that it was in view of the great losses sustained by the different roads that the necessary restric
tions were forced to be placed or else abolish the system altogether.
The eastern roads, however, feel that a great deal of business is done because of the stop over favor allowed their patrons and that to totally discontinue the rights or even put severe restrictions on the privilege, would prove disastrous to their business. An effort is being made to effect a compromise between the eastern and western roads in regard to the matter but it will probably be some time before this step Is taken, It Is said.

next Tuesday evening. Nov. 16. Each
annual visit of Mr. Skinner is eager
ly awaited by all Richmond theatergoers who appreciate stage art at its best. His new play is called a romance of stage-folk and it gives an intimate glimpse into the life of an
itinerant troupe of thespians. Tha theme is novel, and the prestige of the authors' names. Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson, is guarantee for a play of genuine merit. Mr. Skinner is said to be provided with a congenial role in the character of a flambouyant tragedian, who is one unfailing source of good-humor and philosophy. His leading woman this season is Miss Izetta Jewell, a young actress of whom great things are predicted. The production is under the direction of Charles Frohman, which is another guarantee that it will be of the highest artistic excellence.
De Wolf Hopper. De Wolf Hopper is said to have the most interesting song comedy that has ever fallen to his lot in "A Matinee
-Idol" which will come to the Gennett
on Saturday evening. While it introduces again tho same delightful and humorous Hopper personality that the country knows and likes, it gives the prince of comedians an opportunity to show that he is able
WHITEWASHING COAL Not Don For tho Sake of Noatnoss, but to Provont Thefts. Persons who have been somewhat astonished by having whitewashed coal delivered to them will be interested to know that the whitewashing Is not done to Improve the appearance or to Increase the burning qualities. The treatment neither Improves nor barms the fuel. It is a detective scheme on the part of the niilroad8 to locate and to prevent theft of the coal as it is hauled from the mines to the consumer. These depredations amount to thousands of tons annually, and the railroads are the sufferers, as it is up to them to deliver as many tons at their
destination, often a thousand miles
away, as were weighed in when the car was turned over for transportation.
Two or three tons may be removed from a carload containing forty tons without attracting attention to Its de
creased quantity until the car is again placed on the scales. To locate the loss, says Topular Mechanics, llmewater is sprayed over a carload of coal. In a short time the water has evaporated, leaving a load of white coal. Then removal of any coal leaves a big black spot, which is quickly noticed by inspectors and station agents and the leak found and stopped.

Managing a Servant. One housewife declares that at last she has solved the servant problem. "Formerly I had untold trouble with my maids," she said. "They'd do well for awhile, and then they'd deteriorate so that 1 simply couldn't keep them. So I hit on this plan: When 1 noticed a falling off in the last maid's work I weDt into the kitchen and told ber that, in addition to ber fixed wages, she should have 50 cents extra every week that she did well. When she was only fairly good I'd give her a quarter, but on the weeks when she displeased me she'd get nothing. Nine weeks out of ten she gets ber half dollar. It pleases ber immensely, and I find the plan well worth while In the better service it secures me. New York Tribune.
