While driving across Jtke.Fenn8ylvaD.ia railroad crossing here yesterday, Harley Banks, aged 1 6, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Banks, was. struck by a fast passenger train and thrown for a distance of about 40 feet. Aside from the shock and 'some, bruises the young man was not injured. The buggy was badly demolished. The horse was not even scratched. , ; Banks, who attends school at New Madison, Ohio, was driving to that place when the accident occurred. He claims he did not hear the approach of the train. The accident is regarded as one of the most remarkable and fortunate that has ever taken place in this vicinity. Young Banks's nerves are somewhat jolted as the result of his thrilling experience and it will be several days before he fully recovers from the shock. TO ATTEND BANQUET Charles Newlin, deputy county auditor ,and B. B. Myrick, former county treasurer, went to Indianapolis this morning to attend a meeting of the Royal Arcanum. A banquet will be served this evening which will be attended by the two. TO QUIZ STUDENTS The midwinter examinations in all of the district schools of the county will be held the last of this week.

FORCED PURCHASE THE PACKED EGGS Hens Have Gone on a Strike, And Today Country Eggs Were Quoted at Price of 40 Cents a Dozen. A HALF-DOLLAR MARK IS NOW ANTICIPATED To the Buyer It Now Seems Impossible That at One Time Eggs Sold for Sum of 12 Cents a Dozen. Richmond is now in the throes of an egg famine. For the past two days it has been impossible to purchase fresh country eggs at any grocery in the city for the very single reason that there are none to sell. The price took a jump from 33 to 40 cents a dozen today and with a few more days of this famine the hen fruit will be selling close to the half dollar mark, it Is said. Not for years have eggs retailed at this enormously high price. There was a time long ago, and the memory of it is still sweet to the purchasers, when eggs sold at the modest sum of 12 cents per dozen. It seems hard to realize it now, but it's a fact. They Refuse to Work. The hens all over the country have gone on a strike and cannot be coaxed into laying, even though the most attractive and comfortable quarters are provided for them. The continued siege of terrifically cold weather is responsible for the high price of eggs. The price always advances in winter but never before in this city has the 40 cent mark been reached and never before has the country supply given out. Every grocery in the city was visited yesterday by a buyer In the hopes of finding country eggs, but there was nothing doing and the cold storage supply was all that could be obtained. Even packed eggs retail at 35 cents a dozen and for the first time in years are being shipped into the country districts, even the fanners being compelled to buy this variety to supply their wants. Country eggs are snapped up regardless of the price. One farmer came to the city yesterday with two dozen fresh eggs. He sold them for 50 cents a dozen to some ever-watchful housewife before he could get to the grocery with his produce. Even the storage egg supply is giving out, it is said, and people who under ordinary circumstances would not look at a storage egg are now glad to get this variety. Only Buy Few of Them. So high is the price of eggs that there are frequent calls for two, three or six eggs at the different groceries in the city. It is not at all uncommon now, and, in fact, nothing is thought of ordering three eggs "just enough for a cake." And for these three eggs 12 cents is asked. The large produce jobbers are paying fancy prices for fresh eggs and say it is not a question of the price. "Their price is ours," said a local wholesaler. "If any one has fresh eggs to sell he will just about get his own price from us that is if they are fresh." Butl r Also Higher. Country butter is also higher than it has been in vears. When asked Iy give only one reason, "prices are bigher at the creameries." The creameries control the price almost absolutely. When the butter makers there advance the price it is usually followed by a similar advance in this city and thus it promises to continue. Country butter is retailing at present for 35 ceuts a pound and going up. All food stuff is high. In fact every thing has gone up but wages. FOUND OUT A Trained Nurse Made Discovery. No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee a nurse of Wilkes Rarre, Pa., writes: ' I used to drink strong coffee myself, and suffered greatly from headaches and indigestion. While on a visit to my brother's I had a good chance to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank it altogether in place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks after using Postum I found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion. 'Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. '"I observed a curious fact about Postum when used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases; where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness. "I find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. They most always serve it before it has been boiled long enough. It should be boiled 15 to 20 minutes after boiling begins and served with cream, when it is certainly a delicious beverage. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

RIFLE CONTESTS FOR BOYS BOOMED One Held at Washington, Assisted by Military Men, Great Success. GOOD SCORES WERE MADE WAR DEPARTMENT AND THE MARINE CORPS CO-OPERATED TO FOSTER SHOOTING PRACTICE BY YOUNGSTERS. Washington, Jan. 11. The success of the recent outdoor schoolboy rifle meeting In the District of Columbia has shown how easy it is to work up interest in this sport among boys when concerted effort is put forth. Most of the credit Is due to Iieuten ant Albert S. Jones, secretary of the National Rifle association, who organized the tournament He found that the officers of the army, Marine Corps and National Guard of the District of Columbia, as well as a number of patriotically inclined civilians, had only to be asked in order to get their time, efforts and money to encourage the schoolboy work. The first step was to obtain the loan of the District of Columbia range and the co-operation of the National Guard officers as instructors and range officers. The war department was then approached on the subject of arms and ammunition. Washington is peculiarly situated, in that it has a wellorganized and well-drilled cadet corps and under the law the , war department can furnish the corps with arms and ammunition. Marines Co-operate. General Elliott, commander of the marine corps, placed at the disposal of the officers of the match the services of an entire company of marines to act as markers and scorers, the noncommissioned officers assisting in instructing the boys and guarding against accidents. In addition, several officers from the army and marine corps volunteered -their services. President Taft, who, when secretary of war had more than once signalized his approval of rifle practice, sent Lieutenant Jones a telegram, which read: "I approve the teaching under proper regulations of rifle shooting to our boys In advanced grades." The co-operation of the Washington Press was solicited, and the local newspapers took a most active interest in the affair. Publicity thus gained was of great advantage in arousing the interest of the schoolboys and citizens. The school board assisted in every possible way, and the athletic and military instructors took a prominent part in the preliminary work and in the tournament itself. A canvass was made of a number of prominent citizens, each being asked for a small contribution, which resulted in a sum of money to defray expenses. Prizes Donated. Several of the local newspapers donated cups, and other cups and medals were given by merchants, brokers j and hotels. Secretary of War Dickin son, in addition to approving the shoot gave a medal, as did Assistant Secretary of War Oliver and General William Crozier, chief of ordnance. The Washington Chamber of Commerce and the Du Pont Powder com pany also gave prizes, and a local firm donated the program. Ten cents per card was charged, and the balance received over the expenses was turned over to the school board to further rifle practice In the schools. Much interest was manifested by the boys. Although it was dark and ;cold, more than 300 youngsters turn ed out to participate in the matches. Some forty or fifty officers were on hand. The shooting was all at 200 yards with the regulation military rifles and ammunition, some of it being off hand and some prone. It is understood that the National Militia Board will recommend that National Guard organizations place their ranges at the disposal of the school boys from time to time for practice and that the officers of the National Guard assist in instructing the boys. A bill has been introduced In congress providing for the encouragement of rifle practice among school boys and civilian clubs. Good Thing Ar Great. Everything great Is not always good, but all good things are great, said Demosthenes.

RIOTING

BOSTON

Resulted Today Shortly After The Polls Opened This Morning. HOT MUNICIPAL CONTEST (American News Service) Boston, Jan. 11. Shortly after the polls opened in the mayoralty election today rioting broke out in West Boston. An inspector at one of the booths was badly beaten and extra police reserves were rushed to Ward S, as a result of the fracas. Sporadic disorder was reported from other sections of the city and the police were alert for trouble as a result of the wind-up of the hottest mayoralty campaign that Boston has ever seen. The early voting was the heaviest known in this city. With four candidates in the field and the supporters of each doing their utmost to land their favorite in the chair now occupied by George Hibbard, the people of Boston had been aroused to a pitch of excitement never known before and the outcome of this was shown at the polls today. Mayor Hibbard is a candidate for re-election. The others contesting are James J. Storrow, a banker; John P. Fitzgerald, former mayor and excongressman and Nathaniel H. Taylor, a newspaper man. PLEASE EXCUSE OS From the Experience of McKeesport Man With a Crazy Barber. HAD A FIERCE STRUGGLE (American ffews Service) McKeesport, Pa., Jan. 11. William Porter went into the barber shop of Joseph Robinson in Fifth street for a shave. The barber cut him a couple times. His natural annoyance was turned to horror when he realized that the barber, with a maniacal glitter in his eye, was deliberately nicking the cut spots with the keen edged blade. He attempted to leave the chair when the barber grappled with him and there ensued a hand-to-hand struggle before the aged porter interfered. He finally escaped, bleeding from a dozen gashes. Then a policeman broke in and overpowered the barber, who, investigation proved, had gone suddenly insane. French Death Law. French law requires that a human aody, unless embalmed, shall be buried forty-eight hours after death.

Pickled Elephant on the Menu Club of New York Hunters Asks Former President to Bring Samples of Game Promises to Serve Them.

Washington, D. C, Jan. 11 Pickled wildebeest, crocodile on the half shell, shredded tambourine wings, dried elephant sirloin, corned monkey hash, and consomme of tombat are among the delicacies to which a hunters' club of New York looks forward to eating when Colonel Theodore Roosevelt returns from his African tour. Colonel Roosevelt recently received a letter from this club, asking upon his return to bring samples of the meat of every creature slain by him, and promising to cook the entire lot and serve him and the club members with the result, according to A. B. Baker, assistant director of the National Zoological park, who is just home from a visit to the great American Nimrod. "Colonel Roosevelt received the Invitation to dinner offereed by the Ne,w Yorkers with astonishment," 6aid Mr. Baker tonight. Then he was amused and interested. He talked about the letter with rest, remarking that he had kept none of the meat of many animals and birds he had slain, but could get a formidable collection of strange and indigestible meats together before he concludes his tour, If he set himself to the tusk.

He had come in for a short rest. Kermit saw me, learned where I was stopping, and Colonel Roosevelt sent me an invitation to dinner. He was thinner than when in the White House, but appeared to be hard as nails, and his face and hands were tanned brown as saddle leather. 'While I was sitting on the veranda with Colonel Roosevelt and newspaper men, the Colonel fell to discussing letters and requests he had received from friends in America. He said he had received a plea from every zoo manager in the United States for a specimen of African game. Then he smiled and told of the request for pickled buffalo and dried zebra for the proposed New York club dinner. "While we were talking, three wagon loads of skins and skeletons, collected by the Roosevelt party, were driven past the house. I went over to the warehouse to examine the collection. One of the hunting partytold me that in one of the crocodiles they had killed they found an arm and a leg of a native. He pointed out to me the remains of this crocodile as the men carried it into the warehouse.

Can't Fool Anty Drudge. Glib Soap Canvasser I'm representing a new narihtha soap. Let me leave you a cake for triaL It s the best laundry soap you can try, and far ahead of what you're using." Antu Drudge "Is that so! See here young fellow. There are no substitutes for Fels-Naptha soap, no more'n there is for an honest dollar. You can't bunco me with a worthless imitation of the genuine Fels-Naptha." Four million hours at least of hard disagreeable work are saved the women of this nation every week by Fels-Naptha soap. That is 208 million hours, or 26 million working days of 8 hours each every year. Isn't that a record for Fels-Naptha to be proud of? Then there's the saving in health, in the wear of clothes, and in lots of other ways as well. More than a million women are using Fels-Naptha every wash-day. It takes Fels-Naptha in cold or lukewarm water about half the time it would take by the old-fashioned hot-water way. Try it next wash-day yourself. Soap your white clothes with Fels-Naptha, roll them and let them soak for 30 minutes. Then give a light rub, rinse thoroughly, and hang on the line. No hot fire to blister your face, no steaming suds to scald your hands, no nauseating smell about the house, no backbreaking work over the washboard. Isn't it worth trying?
