DIG REVIVAL TO OPEIIJI SUIIDAY Twenty Protestant Churches of the City Have United in the Movement. NOTED EVANGELIST HERE

REV. MR. MAHY WILL HAVE GENERAL CHARGE OF THE CAMPAIGN, WHICH WILL CONTINUE FOR THREE WEEKS. The first of tb special evangelistic services that are to be conducted by the local churches, 20 having: united In the movement, will be held at 2:30 o'clock 8unday afternoon at the East Main street Friends church. The sec- " ond service Vrlll be held at 7:30 In the evening and it Is especially desired to make plain that none of the 20 churches will have services In the nine despite anouncement that may be made elsewhere through failure to understand the situation prop- ' erly. The 20 churches that are taking part In the work are the following? 'St Paul's Episcopal. Grace M. E.. First M. E.. Third M. E.. Fifth 8treet M. E., Wesleran Methodist (colored), First Presbrteiian. Second Presbyterian, United Presbyterian, First Baptist St. Paul's Lutheran, First English Lutheran, Second English Lutheran, United Brethren, Chlrstlan, South Eighth Street' Frlwnds, .East Main Street Friends, .

The sermons .on Sunday afternoon and evening will be delivered by Mr. Mahy, "who la td be In general charge of the united, effort and the . music will be under the direction of Mr. Morgan.. It la probable that In these Initial sermons Mr. Mahy will outline more of less what It Is hoped to accomplish In the Richmond Held and lay the groundwork for his future efforts. He cornea to Richmond with , the reputation of being a most successful christian worker and this combined - with the exceedingly favorable aus- . pices under which the local work la carried on gives promise of a most encouraging nature as to the ultimate results. '. At a meeting of the executive committee Friday night final arrangements for the meetings were - made, a conference being held, with Mr. Mahy. There was .ahr-n- -rehearsal of the chorus Friday nlghL under, the direction of Mr. Morgan, one hundred and fifty being In attendance so that It Is certain the musical end will be well ' sustained.. ' v MALI ilTOPIA FOUIID In Tehuantepec, Mexico, Do Much as They Please, the Women Doing Work. BEEN PETS SINCE A WAR Washington, Nov. 5. "I utilised my vacation this year In visiting parts of Mex'cb tout- Ue out- of the beaten trick." said Thomas J. Wallace, of Memphis, Tean., a Washington visitor. .Jt ., v t , "One of the quantieet towns I ever saw was Tehuantepec, on the Isthmus of that name," he said, "which by reason of Its location. In 'the Tierre Cat llente, the hot sands, Is not, a favorable resort of . tourists . The people have been Influenced but slightly by civilisation and live Just about as their ancestors have lived for centuries. , . ....,,,. '"The children run about the streets with little clothing, up to ten and twelve years old. for what Is the use of Incumbering the kiddies with raiment In that hot region? The parents are very much like children in their guileless ways and their capacity of being easily entertained. The simplest amusement pleases them and life la one mag holiday. "The men of Tehuantepec, Indeed, enjoy a kind bf perpetual picnic they simply 'hang hack and allow the women to do all the work , of the community, j What little corn Is raised Is produced -by Hula toll, the few cattle and sheep are tended by the women and of coarse, they do all the domestie dradgery.' So far from objecting to this monopoly of the toil. I found It wan a condition the women themselves acquiesced la and seemingly enjoyed and for a peculiar reason. There are In Tehuantepec five or six women to -one man.--and where the lords of creation are so scares, they seem to acquire an unduly high xalue. "Some years ago in a war with more ferocious neighbors, nearly all of the man. of the town were slain and there baa- not been long enough Interval alnce that slaughter to restore the equilllbrlum of the sexes. For this reason the minority are pets and bask In the shade while their feminine worshipers are tolling. I found that It was a common thing for the girls and young women to engage In lively fights for the favor of the same gallant being entirely too blase and laty to ever Interfere with the hair pulling.'

RALLY LAST HOT

Held by the Democrats at Cambridge City, Lamb and Johnson Speaking. A FAIR CROWD ATTENDED (Palladium Special) Cambridge City, Ind . Nov. s. Following the Plnchot meeting by the republicans in the afternoon, the democrats held their closing rally of the campaign on Friday evening, John E. Lamb of Terre Haute, an ex-congressman, and Henry U. Johnson, another ex-congressman, addressing the voters. The meeting was held In the opera house and It was comfortably filled. Indorsement of Ftrfly Gray for congress and particularly John W. Kern was made by Mr. Lamb. He urged the support of . the democratic nominees for the legislative ticket Senator Beverldge was denounced as being Inconsistent Lamb attacked the policy of high protective tariff. Mr. Johnson's speech was oratorical and argumentative. It was characteristic. He paid tribute to Flnly Gray and attacked Barnard, declaring that In the former the voter could better afford to repose his confidence and support on Tuesday next Mrs. Austins Buckwheat Flour gives the real genuine old time flavor. PENETRATED IIITO Hesketh-Pritchard and Two Companions Explore in . . Wildest Labrador. THEIR JOURNEY HARD ONE PADDLE AND WALK OVER AREA BETWEEN ATLANTIC OCEAN AND GEORGE RIVER, LIVING VERY MEAGERLY. New York. Nov. 5. H. HeskethPritchard. one of the best known English hunters of big game, reached this city on his return from a successful trip across the previously unexplored table land of Labrador, some 200 miles north of the region In which Leonldaa Hubbard lost his life. One result of Prltchard's journey ! was the discovery that the Fraser river empties Into Nunungoak bay, which will make a change In the geographies necessary. Prltchard said his experience had shown him that Hubbard's pluck was extraordinary. ' "The purpose of the trip," he added "was to cross the unexplored area between the Atlantic and the George river, into which the Eskimo had never gone more than a five days' Journey. One Pound of Pood Dally. "We started from England June 22 and went to Naln, thence about 55 males' in 'canoes to where the river was shut In by cliffs 1,500 feet high. We left .one . canoe and carried the other to the table land, but as we found no navigable, water we abandoned the canoe after seven miles. "On this part of the journey we took only, one pound of food per day for each of the three men In the party, and carried It in packs. On the way to the George region we shot two deer and got plenty of fish, especially the enormous lake trout and ptarmigan. "We found no wood on the table land, and the mosquitoes were too awful for words. There were always great clouds of them on the leeward side of one and none on the windward side. . But they knocked off entirely on Aug. 20,- when the winter weather came. ' - Deer Leave Hairy Trail. "The journey with packs was about 75 miles In an air line, but we covered a much greater - tigsag distance. We started on- the packing -trip Aug. 5 and reached the George, which Is called by the Indians, the Barren Ground river. Aug. 20. . ' . T ; -. "We were very short of food having only a couple of pounds of flour left, and at the George I sprained my- ankle. But we killed a deer and that carried us through the return trip. The George is the great deer hunting ground of the Indians when the animals are .making their annual migration . An enormous herd had passed about a fortnight before we reached there, and the whole country was covered with their ' trail, especially wltt the white hair they shed In crossing the water." REPORT Oil Y, M, C, A, At the monthly meeting of the board of directors ot the Young Men's Christian association on Friday evening reports were made by all the officers and heads of departments, the reports In general Indicating much Interest being taken In the work by the members. The attendance In the different Bible study classes and In the gymnasium classes all of which opened during the early part of October has been larger than In the corresponding period during 1)09. No plana were made for either November or December by the directors. :

Government Desires to Sell An Historic Military Post

San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 5. The government has decided to sell, after 20 years of abandonment, one of the most historic army posts on the fron tier of the southwest. On Nov. 21 the Fort Davis military reservation, embracing 391 acres, will be put up at auction. With the passing Into private' hands of the fort where Lawton. Shafer and many other army officers and men won destinction as Indian fighters, another chapter In the bloody Indian wars of the west will be closed. The buildings are still In a good state of preservation. The post Is situated In a picturesque part of the upper Rio Grande border region of Texas. It Is at an altitude of 5.000 feet and the reservation Is bounded on one 'side by precipitous cliffs' from whose heights bands of Indians frequently made attacks upon the garrison. To' reach the top of the rocky Cliffs soldiers were obliged to make a long detour and the time that was lost In doing this usually enabled the Indians to escape before an attack could be made upon them. Fort Davis occupied a strategic position being on the route of overland travel between San Antonio and California. The last stand of the Apache Indians, before they were driven out of Texas Into Arizona and New Mexico, was made in its vicinity. In those days and for many years before every stage and wagon train that made the trip over the long and desolate route between San Antonio and 'points In the far west was accompanied by an armed guard of soldiers. It was while stationed at Fort Davis that General Shatter, who then held the rank of captain, was given the title of "Old Bull' Shatter, a nickname descriptive of his tenacity of purpose and wonderful powers of endurance when on the trail of marauding Indians. Henry Brosall. who served for 40 years as a teamster in the army and- was at Fort Davis during the entire period that Shafter was stationed there, now lives on a farm In the Davis mountains, nine miles from the post He tells many reminlsences concerning the general. "I remember one particular occasion when General Shatter's bravery and As an Election Inspector, Because He Is a Candidate for. Office. A MISTAKE ON BALLOTS Being a candidate for a position on the Wayne township advisory board and also appointed as an election Inspector for precinct No. 4 outside of the city of Richmond, placed Richard Davenport In a peculiar position. He did not care particularly for the position on the advisory board and was forced to be a candidate by his many friends, but he did desire to be election Inspector. However, he has agreed to sacrifice his desire for the party's welfare. He will remain the' Republican nominee to the township advisory board, but the county commissioners will select a successor to him as inspector in the fourth voting precinct This will be done on Monday. The state law Is to the effect that a candidate can not serve on an election board. The mis take in apointing him to the Inspector ship was not discovered until Friday. The supplies for the different elec tion commissioners were secured either Saturday or before by the offi cials. The state law is to the effect that the Inspectors must get their election supplies on or before three days before the election. The ballots have been sealed, the county election board performing this on Thursday. There is a mistake on the ballots, the election board having been misinformed as to the name of ' William Marvey Cook, a Republican nominee for county council at large. His name is printed on the ballot as Marvey P. Cook. It Is probable that before the ballots are passed out to the voters, the clerks will correct the mistake by crossing oat the initial P and writing William before his middle name. SELL TWOJ AliVASES Two of the Oil Paintings Shown at Local Exhibit Find Purchasers.' LOCAL SCHOOL BUYS ONE Two of the oil paintings which were displayed at the annual exhibit of the Richmond Art association, just closed., have been sold and the prospects are that two more will be disposed of before the exhibition Is sent back to New. York City. R. W. Grafton of Fort Wayne, a well known artist purchased Mrs. Winifred Adams painting, -Phllox,' while the Baxter school in West Richmond purchased the painting, "Amy. by Mrs. Louise Eleanor Zearing of Greencastle. The selection ot a picture which will be added to the premanent collection of the association has been made but the deal baa not been consummated. The approximate value of the entire exhibit which was sent here from the east and not Including those paintings which the association owns and exhibited, la $4,000. The paintings were Insured for this amount the Insurance amounting to more than $300. The average pulse of a healthy man beats seventy-two times a minute.

RESIGNS

endurance were put to a remarkable test," said Mr. Brosall the other day. "He was then a slight, slender fellow who could stand more hard riding than any man I ever saw. , As several scouting parties were out after the Indians the garrison was shorthanded. General Shafter rode in one night with" a dozen soldiers who bad been with him on a scout towards Fort Stockton, where a raid had been committed by the Red Skins. He had hardly struck his bed when a messenger arrived from the little settlement of Candelara, 75 miles to the south, saying that Indians had made an attack upon a Mexican 'ranch near there and had killed several persons. Shafter immediately ordered a fresh mount and. picking a squad of 10 men. ordered them to prepare immediately to go with him after the Indians. It was a little past midnight when we cantered out of the gate and struck off toward the

south. On that long ride Shafter was In the lead by a good stretch all the way. We reached the little Mexican settlement all tired out. Shafter rounded up fresh horses for us and, without atopping to sleep or rest, we rode out to the ranch where the Indians had burned the buildings and murdered five or six men, women and children. They had driven off a herd of cattle and were probably headed for Mexico, as we then thought The trail was easy enough to follow. It turned to the east a few miles below the ranch and it was soon apparent to us that the Red Skins were making for their old rendezvous over on the Pecos river. Captain Shafter ordered five of us to continue -on the trail and taking the other five he started out on a detour to come in ahead of the Indians and give them a surprise. We continued on the trail for three days. During this time we heard nothing of what had become of Captain Shatter and his small detachment Finally, one morning when we were about to give up the chase, we came upon a camp of the Indians. Seven dead red skins lay stretched upon the ground. Shafter bad captured several others and wounded more, amply avenging the murder at Candelaria." SPOKANE AFTER IT Hustling Washington City Desires 1911 National Grange Meeting. WEST SUPPORTS SPOKANE Spokane, Wash., Nov. 5. Western delegates to the national grange convention at Atlantic City, N. J, Novv 8 to 19, will make a determined effort to bring the 1911 meeting to the Pacific northwest. 'recommending Spokane as the logical city. The formal Invitation will be presented by C. B. Kegley, master of the Washington state grange, composed of 22,000 active members. "Mr. Kegley has been instrumental in Instituting and organizing 105 granges during the year ended Sept 30," said R. J. Maclean, secretary of the Spokane chamber of commerce, which Is co-operating with the western delegates. "This Is 40 more than were organised In the state of Michigan, the next highest on the list It illustrates the ' Interest that Is being shown among farmers In getting together and carrying out the Idea of closer community Interests in the rural districts of the state. "That Spokane Is able to take care of national conventions Is evidenced by the success of the national Irrigation congress and the second national apple show In 1909 and the International dry farming congress the early part of last month. These gathering were attended by delegates and exhibitors from 29 states and five provinces in Canada and there were representatives from foreign countries, Including England, France, Germany. Russia. . Mexico. China, Japan and Austrlia, who also brought exhibits. "The third national apple show, during the week of Nor. 14, will bring together representatives of practically every state and province on this continent and ' exhibits ot apples from many commercial orchard districts in America. "Spokane is In the heart of the highest developed agricultural and horticultural district in the country, and we have excellent railroad facilities and hotel accommodations to handle the convention."

MUCH TANGLED ARE 1RIT1EIITURES Following the Divorce Secured (by the Wife of Milliont c aire Tyserrj .: ,

COURTS ARE KEPT BUSY IN SU BSEQUENT SU ITS AN ACTO R AND AN ACTRESS FIGURE IN PRINCIPAL ROLES CASE IS AN ODD ONE. ' K" ': V' -New York, Nov. 5. Robert F. Tysen wedded Miss Ida Rows, society deputante, in 1876. Here follows a remarkable matrimonial tangle: 1892 Mrs. ' Rowe-Tysen granted a South Dakota divorce. 1892 Mrs. William Pollock Is divorced and weds Tysen. 1892 William pollock marries Mrs. James Kernochan. ' 1899 Mrs. Pollock Tysen divorces Tysen. 1902 Mrs. Joseph Benrtmo divorces Benrimo. 1903 Mrs. Benrlmo becomes Mrs. Tysen No. 3. ' 1906 Benrlmo weds Helen Robert son, actress. 1910 Tysen sues to annul his mar riage to Wife No. S. 1910 Mrs. Tysen No. S files coun terclaim for divorce. 1910 Trial term of supreme court dismisses Tysen's annulment suit And now to complicate the matter further the appellate division of the supreme court tiecided: . 1. That Tysen's annulment suit was improperly dismissed by the trial term and that he Is entitled to a new trial ; ' 2. That Benrlmo and his first wife who is the present Mrs. Tysen were never legally divorced, because service In the suit was made on Benrimo by publication and he never appeared to defend the action. The result of this ruling follows: 1. As Mrs. Tysen No. 3 was never divorced validly ; from Benrlmo her marriage to Tysen is open to attack and possible annulment. - 2. As Benrlmo was never divorced validly from Mrs. Benrimo-Tysen, his marriage to Miss Helen Robertson is clouded by the fact that the New York courts still regard him as the lawful husband of Mrs. Tysen No. 3. In Michigan he will be regarded as legally divorced. Mrs. Benrimo and Tysen immediately after the divorce In 1903 were married In Bridgeport Conn. In 1906 Benrimo married Miss Helen Robertson, an actress who appeared In "The Witching Hour," In London. The matrimonial carrers ot the mixed couples ran along smoothly until 1908. Then Tysen and his wife parted. The following year Tysen began his annulment suit, claiming that his wife never was legally wedded to him as her divorce from Benrlmo was Invalid by reason of defective service. Benrimo joined with Mrs. Tysen In fighting the annulment suit. He also had an appearance notice in the Michigan courts declaring he sanctioned the decree awarded Mrs. Benrimo. The appellate division refused 'Benrimo the right to intervene to aid Mrs. Tysen the former wife. In fighting Tysen's annulment suit Throe justices of the higher court decided that he had nothing to lose as the Michigan divorce would still be binding in Michigan, and would not Invalidate his London mariage. Tysen was a former New York broker. Mrs. Tysen says his fortune is at least 12,000,000. MAILED FIST RULES Drastic Action Taken by Span- . ish Government to Pre- , vent Revolution. BARCELONA. ARMED CAMP '(American News Service) Madrid! Nov. - 6. The mailed flat ruled 8paln today to prevent an outburst that would plunge the kingdom Into a bloody reign of terror. Barcelona the seat ot the most daring labor and revolutionary demonstration in the history of Spain's recent unrest was an armed camp with machine guns trained on the streets, thousands of soldiers massed In, the barracks and thousands of others' patrolling the city. 'More than "5,000 strikers from Sabadall marched into Barcelona to join with the strikers there tor their display of hostility against the throne. Scores of arrests were made and sporadic outbreaks resulted from attacks of soldiers carrying fixed bayonets. The prisons are filled. Captain General Weyler of Catalonia, "the butcher, received 15,000 additional troops, bringing the total of his army to nearly fifty thousand men to quell revolt He issued. a proclamation couched in the most bitter language this morning, declaring that any attempt to stir up open revolt would be quenched with blood.- - . i -: : Houses were raided and great quantities of socialistic literature seized.

The latter are to visit all small towns and villages and the system is expected to do much to raise the standard ot comfort, health and education of the German countryside. Two energetic young Germans, Lieutenant Schmude of the Artillery Guards, and Dr. Ludwig, a scientist have planned another trans-Alrlcan motor-car expedition, which haa received the august patronage of the crown prince. They will not. travel from east to west as Lieutenant Graetx did two years ago, but from north to south, along the projected line of the Cape-to-Cairo railway. Their object Is to take measurements and to investigate the possibility of a regular motor-car service in various regions adjacent to the line. In German East Africa they will undertake some special wireless telegraph experiments besides engaging In scientific research all along the route. The young men will leave Naples in February, equipped with a powerful car, especially built tor rought going and for camping purposes, with sleeping accommodation at the top. Archaeologists and historians are Interested In .the announcement that workmen among the foundations of the cathedral at Alx-la-Chapelle have come across a casket which proves , to contain what Is supposed to he the missing remains of Otto III., emperor of the Saxons, who ruled in the latter daya of the tenth and died early In the eleventh century. Otto III. died at the head of his army at Ravenna, where he expected to be joined by German troops, for the purpose of crushing the Roman hosts who were besieging his castle. Later his remains were removed to Alx-Ia-Chap-' elle, where he had expressed the wish to be burled alongside , Emperior Charlemagne. ' The remains proved to be in a state ot utter : decomposition when the casket , was opened, the bones crumbling into dust as soon as touched. The sarcophagus will be re stored and reburied with fitting reverence. Four-fifths ot the 10,000 actors and actresses of Germany earn on an aver age of $150 a year. The statement is made by the German Stage association as a warning to the crowd of young people of , both sexes,, who. as usual at the beginning ot the theatrical year, are knocking more or less courageously at the doors of thespls. The association numbers 25,000 members, of whom three-fifths are singers, musicians, supers, and stage hands. Qf the actors and actresses only a fifth earn what can be called a decent living, the highest salary being about $2,750 a year. The remainder earn from $20 to $47.50 a month, but are employed for only seven months in the year. Out of their income they have to pay traveling ex penses, wardrobe and agents' fees. after dedutcing which, all that remains on an average Is $150 a year. One-fifth or the theatrical profession are always In dire need, without employment and without resources. On the operatic stage the conditions are , still worse. Better salaries are paid, but the greater severity of competition more than neutralises this advantage. , , . ' . The belief common abroad that owing to the system of subsidised theaters with stock compalnes the German actor is sure of steady if ndt extremely remunerative employment Is shown by the asociation's report to be Incorrect There are only 25 such theaters In the whole ot Germany and Austria.

Eminent Dutch and German counsel, to whom the 203 aspiring heirs have appealed, dispute Amsterdam's claims, and acting on their advice, the heirs have formed an association for the purpose of fighting the city to a finish. The Hugarian Prlncesa Sulkowska, daughter of a prince owning property worth near $8,000,000, haa been forbidden by her official Hungarian guardians to wed her German fiance, Count von Schmettow. on tha ground that the latter Is a pauper, though his father's fortune amounts to $1,260,000. Prince Sulkowska's extravagance led to himself and his daughter becoming wards of the court which manages property cases. Count Schmettow has ' exhausted his own portion of his patrimony, and receives no more until his father's death. . v Thus two heirs ot nearly. 10.000.000. between them haven't funds enough to start the aimpleat housekeeping, and the wedding, which was to be a Dig social event, has been stopped.

SYSTEM IS SUCCESS Chicago. Nov. 5. The effectiveness of Chlcago'a espionage of children to see that all who are of school age attend school was set forth In the annual report of President Alfred R. Urion of the school board. The report shows that thanks to the prevention of truancy, there haa bean a decrease of Illiteracy of minora front 602 to 401 that the enrollment and attendance are now the largest within the Ufa of the public schools. Thera haa been a ' decrease ot 2J boys and girls from the roaming population of children between the ages ot 14 and 16 looking for work and : there ' haa been the return of 3,150 boya and girls to : public and private - schools through the persistence) and alertness of the truant officers. Praaldent Urlon paid a high compliment to tha woman superintendent ot Chicago schools, Mrs. Ella 1 Flagg Young, and ' declared - that Chicago schools are now working under the moat affective conditions found anywhere In the United States. This statement probably will be challenged by many cities but the results in detail show tha. standard to be high.
