THE RICHMOND PALLADIU3I AND SUN-TELEGRAM, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1910.'

FRANK R. PACKHAM WILL SPEAK HERE Wen Known Springfield, Ohio, Man Will Talk About The Japanese.

ADDRESS HAS MADE A HIT

IN WRITING TO COMMERCIAL CLUB SECRETARY, SPEAKER SAYS HIS TALK IS PLAIN, WITHOUT ANY COLLAR.

The Commercial club, at Its regular meeting next Monday evening, will have as its guest, Frank R. Packham, of Springfield, Ohio. He was one of

the party that accompanied the Japa

nese Commercial Commission on Its tour through the United States. He

has a very interesting address on' "Ja

pan and Japanese," that he delivered

before a Springfield audience,, and It proved to be immensely entertaining. It deals with the commercial manners and customs of the Japanese. The secretary received the following characteristic letter from him: "I beg to acknowledge receipt of your esteemed favor of the 3rd inst., conveying your kind invitation to read a paper, or portion of it, "Japan and Japanese," before your members on the night of Feb. 14th. "I consider the invitation, coming from your honorable body, a great compliment to me, more than I deserve. I am not an orator, not even a talker, simply a plain commercial plugger. "I have hesitated to accept the invitation, but now advise you that should nothing unforeseen occur, I shall consent to worry you on the evening designated. "The paper that has Interested Springfielders, is decidedly informal in character; has not even a standing collar. "I feel that Richmond Is as much my playground as Springfield, my interests being undivided in the Hoosier and Superior Divisions of the American Seeding Machine Co., and as such, I contribute a "widow's mite" to the occasion."

STICK TO YOUR DOCTOR! Good or Poor. He's Better Than Any Old Patent Medicine. Hold fast to that which is good, is the advice of Dr. Kobbe, the noted vivisectionist. If you have a doctor and are improving under his care, or if you are taking a treatment that is even checking your disease, stick to the doctor or the treatment and be skeptical. But, if you have a mangy dog or other animal and want to be shown, and a new discovery like poslam comes along, try it on the dog before trying it on yourself. It acts the same with animals as it does with human beings infants and adults healing over night and quickly curing the worst cases of any kind of skin disease. Itching stops at once in any itching skin disease, eczema, rash, scabies, split toes, piles, scaly scalp, crusted humors in infants and the like. Write to the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York City, and they will send, you free of charge, by mail, in plain wrapper, enough poslam to cure any ordinary case of skin trouble, barber's itch, itching feet, blotches, red noses, inflammations, etc. With this sample alone complexions are cleared over night and pimples banished from the

face in two days. W. H. Sudhoff. as well as all good druggists everywhere make a specialty of poslam.

HE SUCCEEDS E. B. PRYOR

(American News Service) Chicago, Feb. 8. Howard G. Hetzler, for five years president of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated railroad, has been elected president of the Chicago and Western Indiana, and the Belt Railways at a special meeting of the board of directors. He succeeds E. B. Pryor of St. Louis, vice president of the Wabash railroad, who was elected on January 39, following the sudden resignation of William J. Henley. It has been understood Mr. Pryor was elected to take charge of the affairs of the road only temporarily at the time charges were made by the directors against former President Benjamin Thomas, John C. Fetzer and Charles R. Kappes. G. G. Yeomans, assistant to President Delano of the Wabash, who was made vice president, to take charge of the operation of the road during Mr. Pryor's frequent absences in St. Louis, also resigned. As president of the Western Indiana, Mr. Hetzler will have charge of the construction of the new $30,000,000 passenger terminal which is planned by the directors. No definite action relating to the further prosecution of criminal proceedings in the land fraud case was taken by the directors, as all were not present.

Posts Her Bill Is Sorry Now Careless Grocer Sustains Attack of Offended Woman, and Her Friend and Is Now a Battered Object.

New York, Feb. 8. James McMorrow, a grocer of No. 223 West Sixtysixth street, knows today what It means to reap a whirlwind, lie should have known. Magistrate Steinert told him, after various surgeons had gone over him and stitched him and plastered him and anointed him with unguents and salves, that something was due to come his way when he placarded his store window with this manner of legend: "MRS. WINIFRED O'CONNOR, "OF NO. 221 WEST SIXTY-SIXTH ST.,"COME IN AND PAY YOUR "BILL, OF 41 CENTS." The sign was three feet long and two feet high. Mrs. 0"Connor's name and address were done in red paint: "Bill of 41 cents" also was done in red. Among the early omrning group that viewed this sign and made general comments upon it was one stanch friend of Mrs. O'Connor, Mrs. Christopher Gilmartin. Mrs. Gilmartin also dwells at No. 221, next door to the grocery. Mrs. Gilmartin is a large, full-blooded, athletic young woman. Distant Rumblings. Twice she read the sign, her hazel eyes narrowing into little fiery points. Her lips drew taut into an ominous line as she turned suddenly and bounded next door. She scaled two flights of stairs in prodigious leaps and burst in upon her friend. She graphically described the sign. She retold the comments she had heard upon it. Then she flung her arms akimbo and regarded her friend. Mrs. O'Connor is tall and angular. She has a very fair complexion and ruddy freckles. The freckles turned white as Mrs. Gilmartin talked. Her breath came in short pants, but she remained silent so long that her friend lost patience and cried: "Speak Winnie! Ain't you going to do nuthin'?" "I was meditatin'," returned Mrs. O'Connor, speaking through clenched teeth, "between murder an' arson. First of all, I'll take a squint at that lyin', poisonous, sneakin', contemptible low-down sign." The Storm Breaks. A moment later Mrs. Gilmartin and Mrs. O'Connor emerged into Sixtysixth street. Arm in arm they walked up to the window. Mrs. O'Connor read the placard aloud, then turned to her friend, who said: "Winnie, darlin', it's murder; come on. We'll begin cm the vegetables." They did, scattering the boxes like chaff before them. Grocer McMorrow came out to protest, but retreated when two large frozen turnips caught him on the nose and right eye. McMorrcw's four clerks climbed under counters and offered no defense. With the cabbage in one hand and more frozen turnips in the other, Mrs. Gilmartin charged through the door, fololwed by the outraged Mrs. O'Connor. They had smashed the plate glass windows. "I'll have the law on you," shouted

McMorrow from behind a pyramid of tomato cans. "You may, if you live to tell the tale," shrilled back Mrs. O'Connor, flinging another frozen turnip, which closed the grocer's part lamp, the starboard optic being already closed. Under the Tomato Cans. McMorrow is a big man, but he went down under the heap of tomato cans. Before he could gasp twice Mrs. O'Connor was dancing on his chest, executing a wild saraband and commenting on the grocer's character and ancestry. When Mrs. O'Connor had danced one measure on McMorrow she gave place to the 20-pound Mrs. Gilmartin. who had been amusing herself tossing bottles and cans at the clerks as they stuck their heads up from under the counter to see how the battle was going. One clerk who had the temerity to yell "Police,' was dragged out by Mrs. O'Connor and half strangled with a string of bologna. Then the counters were overturned on the other clerks. Now and then McMorrow would scramble to his knees and rage, only to go down before a bombardment of oranges and flour bags. As a final soother Mrs. Gilmartin picked up the scales and flung them at him. Then, as he seemed quite limp, he was whipped about the floor like a mop and danced on once more. He's Wiser Now. Only exhaustion stayed the cyclonic revenge of Mrs. O'Connor and her friend. Before departing they took the sign from the window and smashed it down over McMorrow's battered head. Mrs. O'Connor's final shot, at him from the threshold was: "If you ever recover, I'm sorry for it."

j During the hurricane the policeman ! on the beat held himself aloof. When

the storm was over and the creators thereof had returned to their homes, he called up hospitals and doctors for McMorrow, and then advised him if he felt aggrieved to go to the West Side court and obtain summonses for the two friends. He. did so, but he got no sympathy from Magistrate Steinert, after Mrs. O'Connor and Mrs. Gilmartin had told their story. "You deserve all you got," said the court coldly, to the battered McMorrow. "That sign was highly libelous and improper. The complaint is dismissed. You have learned a lesson."

AN ODD JUDGMENT

Principals in Divorce Case Get Together and Agree on Alimony.

PLAINTIFF FARES WELL

Unusual judgment was awarded Mrs. Iaura 15. Shaffer of Henry county who was granted a divorce from Elsha Shaffer and custody of four children in the Wayne circuit court, to which the case had been venued, and which was tried Saturday.
