Engaged to Marry English Lord

rvl W ' r" J 'fuf,t jf ffcA

One of the most recent photographs of Miss Vivian Gould, the third daughter of George Gould, the New York millionaire, who is engaged to marry Lord Decles. The announcement of Miss Gould's betrothal to the Englishman is the talk of international society, and the great disparity of age between the two has been the cause of much comment. Miss Gould Is but little over 18 years old and has not yet made her debut, while Lord Decies is forty-four, two years the junior of the prospective bride's father. The announcement of the international engagement was additionally surprising because it was a current belief that it was the aim of Mr. Gould to have his daughters marry Americans.

Canned Drama" by Wholesale Manufactured at San Antonio

(Palladium Special) San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 30. "Canned drama" by the wholesale Is being made in San Antonio. In tho pecan forest along the San Antonio river near the ancient missions, blood curdling fights between Indians and cowboys are taking place one day, while the next sees comedy of a romantic love affair. Advantage is being taken of the summer weather prevailing here throughout the winter and hundreds of thousands of feet of film are being made for moving pictures by a largo troupe of actors, who, correctly costumed, take the greenwood, or the gray and crumbling missions as the stage. Gaston yHes at the bead of one of the largest picture manufacturing plants of its kind in the world, a factory that supplies many hundreds of moving picture shows day by day, has sent one of his best companies here to produce the material. Constant rehearsals are in progress at the "Star Film Ranch," the name given the ground where these actor folk re hearse. When a picture drama is ready to be given. It is like a scene from real life in front of the cameras of the photographers. ' Sometimes as many as two hun dred persons are engaged at one time, tho extra number being made up of the "supes" hired In town. Most of the dramas depicted hinge on West ern life of the pioneer days. Villages have been made to burn after the stealthy assault of hideously painted savages; United States troops, their horfces covered with the white alkali dust of the plains, have pursued the fighting Indians at break-neck speed, and again, the story of the Spanish oc JAIL WAS POPULAR PLACE THIS YEAR Four hundred and eight persons broke into Jail during 191Q. according to a computation made by Sheriff Linus Meredith on Friday. Several of these held pending trial while the majority were serving from ten to sixty day sentences for committing misdemeanors. Two murderers were confined, one, young Revalee. the murderer of Mrs. Christina Allison, and the other William Lewis, colored, killed William Dickey, also colored. MADE FINE TARGETS FOR SMALL BOYS Cables of the Home Telephone company on West Main street which supplied about three hundred subscribers made fine objects for the small boy with his air rifle and some few with the flobert rifles. The force of the concern had to work all day today and last night to restore the cables. The bullets were of such force that they severed the fine copper wires, after penetrating the thin cable covering of oxidized lead. MUCH IMPROVED Mrs. H. M. Hammond, wife of President Hammond, of the Board of Works, Is slowly recovering after a critical illness. EARLHAM DEFEATED The Wabash Athletic association beat Earlham In basketball on Thursday night at Wabash. 27-20. Reagan and Furnas starred for Earlham. The game was a fast one.

cupation of San Antonio has been told with the picturesquely garbed young hidalgo in a flower covered canoe serenading from the river the coquettish senorita. The setting represents very closely the old Spanish abode houses with their iron-barred windows and rose-trellised walls. Then, there have been long processions representing the Franciscan friars on some ancient fiesta day, with the inevitable romance, usually on the Carmen order, thrown in.

Permission was sought from the city to use Alamo Plaza for a picture of tho fall of the Alamo, but this was denied since the plaza, one of the busiest sections of the city, would have to be roped In. and all traffic excluded while the battle was in progress. It was proposed to use about five hundred men, representing Santa Anna's Mexican cavalry and infantry, giving the three assaults upon the historic chapel and convent building. The defenders with a small cannon, were to be stationed on the wall and every thing was planned to be as historically accurate as possible. The city authorities held that 500 muskets with the volleying of cannon would start too many runaways and disorganize business to such an extent that the fall of the Alamo, although intensely spectacular, would be unprofitable. The moving picture people had gone so far as to ask permission to use the United States troops stationed at Fort Sam Houston. The men uttered an indignant protest against wearing the Mexican uniform of Santa Anna's day, and it is not probable that even had the city consented that the Department of Texac commander would have permitted the troops to participate. SUES A CONSTABLE TO RECOVER HORSE Alleging that James A. Clay, a negro constable, took an eight year old mare, named Grace, from her stable at night without any just cause, Georgia A. Chapman has instituted suit in the circuit court to replevin the animan, the whereabouts of which she does not know but believes it to be somewhere in the county. Mrs. Chapman claims possession of the animal, it being taken from the stable, it is said, by the constable to satisfy creditors owed by Chapman. Chapman on his oath avers In the complaint that no complainant owns the animal and that she is not Indebted to anyone by whom the animal could be held to satisfy a debt. Tlie value of the horse is fixed at SI 75. The case is returnable on January 12.

OHIO MAN SEEKING BERTH 1(1 CABINET

Renick W. Dunlap Is Fondly Eyeing the Secretaryship of Agriculture. (Palladium Special) Washington. Dec. 30. Indications point to more recognition by Presi dent Taft during the remainder of his term of the claims of his native State. The recent appointment of Carmi Thompson, as Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and the tender of a place on the Court of Customs Appeals to Wade H. Ellis, of Ohio, is to be short ly followed, according to reports, by the appointment of an Ohio man to the Cabinet. The course of President Taft in selecting members of his Cabinet has been unfavorably contrasted with that of preceding Presidents who nearly always. had one or two immedi ate advisors from their own state. Mr. Taft's friends are earnestly seeking Ohio's support both in the convention and in the next electoral college and they feci that an advisable, if not a necessary step in that direction involves the appointment of an Ohio man to t'je Cabinet. . At present the only Ohio candidate is Renick W. Dunlao, who has been State Dairy and Food Commissioner j for the past four years, and whose friends are urging the President to make him Secretary of Agriculture, to succeed James M. Wilson. Among Mr. Dun.ap's supporters are said to be Senator Hurton, Arthur W. Vorys. C. P. Taft and others equally prominent. It is pointed out that Mr. Dunlap has evidenced considerable political strength in Ohio. When Governor Harmon was first elected in 1908 Mr. Dunlap was also elected by a large ma jority. In the late election where Governor Harmon defeated the Republican candidate by a hundred thousand Dunlap ran far ahead of the ticket and missed election by only a matter of 8,000 votes. His personal popularity in the President's own State is therefore considered one of the strongest points in his favor. No one denies his fitness for the portfolio of Agriculture. A graduate of the Ohio State university at Columbus, he is widely known as a prosperous practical farmer owning and successfully operating a large Ohio farm said to be a model. His four years' experience at State Food and Dairy Commissioner of Ohio has been directly In line with the work of the Department of Agriculture, and now that his term has expired his friends think the time is opportune for his promotion. It is understood that a delegation representing powerful agricultural interests advocating his &ypointment will shortly visit President Taft in his behalf. PORTUGUESE PLOT WAS STAMPED OUT Scores of Plotters Have Been Arrested and the RingLeader Executed. (American News Service) Washington, Dec. 30. An anarchist plot to overthrow the republic of Portugal has been discovered at Lisbon. Scores have been arrested and the ring leader executed. This news was received today by the Portuguese minister here, in a brief official message. The plot has been suppressed. ENGLAND IS WORRIED. The English foreign office is greatly worried over the situation in Portugal. but announced today that no request bad yet been made for the sending of an English warship to the scene. Despite reports from the capital that numerous secret arrests were being made, the foreign office declared that the situation does not warrant the anticipation of an uprising. Private advices confirm the report of unrest among the working people, many of whom are on a strike. At the Portuguese legation it was declared today that they had no offl rial information of a threatened up rising. HE TOOK TROUSERS From Boarding House and Was Fined. George Ballard, a brakeraan on the C. & O. railroad, pulled on a pair of trousers, taken from a dresser draw er in his boarding house on North Third street yesterday, and putting on a pair of overalls over the stolen trousers left the house. He also stole some talcum powder and other small articles from the boarding house, it is alleged, by William Compton, owner of the bouse. Ballard was arrested af ter the police had been notified. He plead not guilty to petit larceny this morning but was convicted on Compton's evidence, who identified the trou sers. Ballard claimed that be had accident ly put the clothes on while intoxicated. He was fined $10 and costs by Mayor Zimmerman. SELFISHNESS. ' There are some tempers wrought up by habitual selfishness to an utter insensibility of what becomes of die fortunes of their fellow creatures, as if they were not partaken of the same nature or had no lot or connection at all with the species. Sterne.

COUNTY RECORDER 1 PREPARES REPORTS Showing that During Past Year There Was Much Real Estate Activity. Much activity-in real estate circles in the county during the year was manifested according to the annual rerort of the county recorder which was compiled during the month. The report does not give any true indication of just how extensive these operations were, for there w ere hundreds of changes which either were not recorded purposely or will not be until later in the winter. According to the report there were approximately seventeen hundred

pieces of property transferred during the year. Real estate dealers believe that there were two or three times this number of real estate sales. The reason for this is that when a person purchases a farm or a city property for speculative purposes, he usually does so after March 1, when he will be exempt from paying taxes on the property and then sells it before March 1 of the following year rolia around. There are properties in Richmond which have offered such good opportunities for investment that they have changed hands several times during the year. The report of the recorder shows there were 1686 deeds filed, eight wills in which bequests of real estate were made by the decedents. There were 859 mortgages on real estate recorded according to the report. As a general thing the mortgage incumbrances on real estate were not for the full value of the property. TO SEPARATE ESTATE William M. Galyean has instituted suit in the curcuit court against Alvin Galyean for partition of a lot and dwelling in Richmond which is of the probable value of $750. Woman'sWorld Lady Helmsley's Gospel of Health to Women. X.ADT HFLMSLKT. Viscountess Muriel Helmsley has organized a movement to preach the gospel of health to women throughout the British empire. It's just as good gospel in democratic America.
