TRUSTEE 1I0WARTH ASKS $1,500 A YEAR Wayne township trustee James llowarth has made application to tho bouid of county commissioners, askInax to be made n salaried official under the Indiana statue, which provides that a township trustee serving In a district of 25.000 Inhabitants or more hnl bo placed on a salary Instead of belnK paid a er diem of $2. The trtiHtee has petitioned that his salary will be fixed at 1 1. ."00 a year, in addition to clerk hire, and although no decision will be made until Wednesday by tho board It Is thought probable this amount will be stipulated by the commissioners. The minimum amount provided for in a ease of this kind is $1,000 per annum, but the trustee claims that this Is Insufficient to run the office, meeting traveling and other office expenses and netting a decent salary. UTAH DESERTS ARE BEING SETTLED Kanaas City, March 7. A quarter of a century ago the mention of the Great American desert called up visIons of a region of limitless extent, unbaked, parched and desolate. Congress pitaaed It over as not worth while. In two decades, however, millions of scree of this rainless country has been made to bloom, by dry fanning and the construction of dams and irrigation ditches. And now the farmer la knocking for entrance to the most desolate of nil the deserts, those " that - comprise the greater part of western Utah. Christopher Lurron. of Kphriam.

"Nobody Knows How Dry I Am" Sang the State Legislators

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, March 7. "Nobody knows how dry 1 am. Nobody seems to care a damn." Sang about thirty lusty lunged and dignified members of the lower house as they marched in a chain gang into l lie midst of Senator Wood's violent point of order against the referred bill during the closing hours of legislature. Hut they were mistaken! Lieutenant Governor Mall, uibn whose shoulders the dignity of bis mantle as presiding officer over the state's most august deliberative body rests heavily did give several of fhosc same expletives and he arose in his wrath and or dered the door keepers to lock the doors in order that the affairs of state which the senate was debating with great fervor might not be contaminated by tho ribald conduct of the menials in the lower house who had cashed in on their pay checks and were whlling away the time after a fashion that would have made a college fraternity resemble a Sunday school. He fore the door keeper had put up tho bars the representatives had rushed out and their dying wail that nobody seemed to care about their state of thirst was heard in the corridors. The senate did not play the last hours of its existence. He It far from so. Those came to witness a rough house, remained to revel In as Hue a display of parliamentary jousting and vitriolic debate as the legislature has witnessed this session. Furnish the Trophies. Grube's referendum bill and Durre's housing bill furnished the trophies and the tilting was fine. Hoth lost. Cirube lost by parliamentary tactics, after a tenacious fight upon his part, while Durre lost by some ino handiwork In the manipulation of a roll call. For real excitement the session equalled anything the legislature has produced. Oratory flowed In buckets full, rules of order and parliamentary procedures covered with the dust of years were hauled and invoked, the plain people were defended, Grube sang his Bvvan tong. the venerable Senator Powers sang two, one of them upon his favorite theme of fishing; "Fighting" Kd Durre, who flashed a revolver In the. famous First district convention and promised to have order If ho had to shoot the delegates, mixed it with the ornate and honorable" " rink" Harlan, senator from Indianapolis, who felt it Incumbent upon himself to defend the sacred rights of the landlord until Lieutenant Governor Hall was compelled In the Interest of safety of tho bystanders to call upon John Kelley to pull the senators apart and carry their remains to their respective seats. TOWER HILL A Roted London Spot, the Scene of Many Famous Occurrences. Tower Illll 1 perhaps UO(n tlic most Important eminence and the most notable spot in all London. Few of us think what great persons have quietly lived there and whnt others, equally great, have wept and died upon it. To it, or rather to Great Tower street, came Rochester to pursue hi trade an an Italian fortune teller, while the bedizened Buckingham often walked thither to consult a conjurer, a shrewd, farseeing rogue, who. when Felton bought at the cutler's shop on the summit of the hill for a shilling the knife with which he killed tho duke's father, may have known for what purpose It was required. William Penn was born on this hill In a house close to London wall. For-4y-four years later that i. In A. D. H5STV a poet lay dond. choked by a crust which starvation hnd urged him to devour too greedily. In an upper room of the Bull tavern. This was the 111 fated Otway. At the time when the son of the muses lay dead Betterton, the celebrated founder of the stage lifter the restoration, was wringing tears from the eyes of the public, not for the famished dead, but at hit own fictitious sorrows In "Venice Preserved." It was in Great Tower street that Peter the Groat used to pass hit evenings drinking hot epper nnd brandy with bis boon companion, Ixird Carmarthen. London standard. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals. W RIGHT Thaddeus Wright. 00 years old. died Monday morning at his home in Minneapolis. The wife and four daughters survive the deceased, the daughters being Miss Anna B. Wright. Miss Elizabeth T. Wright. Mrs. George Iiws of Minneapolis and Mrs. Mary K. Hammond, of Chicago. The remains will arrive In Richmond this evening. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of Mrs. H. M. Dill. 3H North Tenth street. Burial will be in Karlham cemetery. Told In One Word. "Another literary maa that I know who was Tery neat and methodical was Sir Edwin Arnold." says Mrs. T. P. O'Connor In "I Mjself." "lie told me that on one occasion to America a newspaper reporter bad extracted a long Interview from ntm and Jast st the end said. 'Now. Sir Edwin, what is your opinion of the American vromsj? "An exhaustive subject. said Sir Edwin, 'but I can dispose cf It In one word. "Afria." 'And what.' said the reporter. Moes that mean? "'It Is Turkish. said Sir Edwla. and means. "O Allah, make many more of thenar " Palladium Want Ads. Pay.

After these incidents had transpired resolutions thanking everybody for their courteous treatment of everybody else were passed, and the ballbearing hack, vulgarly known as the omnibus, was called into service and kaded down with house bills which

w ere passed in order to make the ; members of the house feel that their alcnts had not been buried in a nai"n- i Finally "Hoba da Proc." the most . i ti i . . i i i. 1 1 1 1 -1 ..... ..i-..,- ' proline nine Hsisiaiui (.mumi produced, tried to stir up some merriment. A quartet was formed which started, but soon stopped by unanimous request because it sounded like a cross between filing a saw and a fiat wheeled street car. The "good time" began to look like the cold, gray dawn of the morning after and Senator Yarling administered the last sad rites and hung out the crape by moving to adjourn "sine die." Scenes of hilarity marked the closing hours of the session on the house side. There was no business on the speaker's desk to be transacted and the members enlivened the hours of waiting by turning the dignified chamber into a play house. Speeches by Booth Tarkington and Attorney General Honan were features of the proceedings, both distinguished visitors being carried to the speaker's stand by main force. Mr. Tarkington's speech was noteworthy for its brevity, his subject being "woman'ssuffrage" by request. "As for woman's suffrage, I am for It; thank you," he said and made a dive for the door. The Gentleman from Indiana. The author visited the chamber in company with Senator Fleming to call upon majority floor leader Cravens, with whom he served in the session of 1903. Cravens moved the appointment of a committee to escort to the platform the "distinguished author, former member of the house and American citizen." The chair delegated the task to Representatives Cravens and Wasmuth, who succeeded In carrying out their instructions with the assistance of Senator Fleming. Although literally taken off his feet by the warmth of the reception the former "gentleman from Indiana" kept his cigarette and his good humor and arose smiling when Senator Fleming moved that he give his views on woman's suffrage. "You don't know how " began Attorney General Honan, when somebody yelled "dry I am." finishing his sentence for him. "This reminds me of two years ago, you are so nice and orderly. I am sorry, owing to the position that I hold that I can't go out with you boys and have a "time" tonight. ATHLETIC DEVOTIONS. Gymnastic Exercises That Impressed the Kurdish Villagers. Everything is liable to be misunderstood, even gymnastic exercises. This truth was brought home to George II. Ilepworth, and he tells his experience In "Through Armenia on Horseback." The author was stopping in a Kurdish village, and the hm possessed but one general living room. , In the morning I began my regular gymnastics, stooping until my fingers touched the floor, throwing my arms about like the spokes of a wheel, striking out from the shoulder and goiug through all the exercises, none of which I ever emitted. I would gladly have taken a sponge bath, but it would have been Impossible to get enough water. A pint is enough to suffice a Turk. Well, I got under way with my exercises when I saw that my audience w-as excited; conversation dropped Into a whisper, then ceased; word passed from one to another, and one by one the occupant. of the room quietly left. I feared that they wVre offended and wanted to call them back and apologize. Just then my dragoman entered, laughing. "What has happened?" I asked. He laughed tho harder as he replied: "The Kurds think you ar practicing devotional religious exercises, and they retired under the impression that you would regard their presence as an intrusion." CARBOLIC ACID. Peculiar Effect Pure Alcohol Has en This Irritant Poison. One of the most frequent irritant poisons used for suicidal purposes is carbolic acid, and a more agonizing death could not be selected. Why nny one shonld select this poison it is hard to understand unless on account of the fact that it Is cheap and easily obtainable. This form of poisoning can usually le easily recognized by the odor, which is well known, and by the white burns or marks on the lips and moutl), which are typical of cnrtiolle ncid ioisoninfr. Fend for the nearest physician, and In the meantime, as carbolic rvid kills quickly, the first aid tr'fent nxist be prompt in order to get .esults. If possible cause the patient to vomit by giving an emetic, such as ipecac or salt and water, a tables poo aid to a pint of warm water. This, hovrever, frequently fails to work on account of the irritated condition of the mucous membrane of the stomach. One cf the best chemical antidotes Is epsom salt in solution. Another good chemical antidote is alcohol, the only trouble with this remedy being that It cannot be given la a pure form. It has to be diluted with water and for that reason loses Its efficacy. Just exactly why alcohol counteracts the effect of carbolic acid is not known, but If. for instance, carbolic acid Is splashed on the hands and they are at once Immersed in absolute alcohol there will be no resulting burn.

A special council of the Great Council of Indiana will be kindled at 3:30 o'clock for the purpose of conferring the Past Sachem's Degree upon such brothers as are eligible and who present proper credentials. No one but Past Sachems will be admitted to this council. Tribesmen to Parade.

The procession, headed by the Richmond City Band, will form at the Coliseum, march east, on Main street to Tenth street, north on Tenth street to E, west on E to Fort Wayne avenue, south on the avenue to Main street, east on Main street to Seventh, and then to the Coliseum. The evening session at 7:30 o'clock in the Coliseum will be one of the most important and interesting from the standpoint of the lodge members. Degree work In ail three degrees will be exemplified by competent teams as follows: Adoption degree, Farmland and Hagerstown teams. Warriors degree, Hokendauqtia or Osceola team of this city; Chiefs degree, Winchester team. The cities and towns comprising the district and which will be represented at the meeting are as follows: Richmond, Union City, Winchester, Ridgeville, Farmland, Cambridge City, Connersville, New Castle, Sulphur Springs, Portland, Dublin, Middletown, Centervilie, Evcrton, Dunkirk. Alquina. Metamora, Orange, Falmouth. Fairfield, Anderson, Parker City, Whitcomb. Brookville, Hagerstown, Windsor. Glenwood, Laurel, Red Key. New Lisbon, Cadiz, Saratoga, Carlos City, Blountsville, Knightstown, Mechanicsburg, Belbec, Fountain City. The membership in these places ranges from 50 to 500, Richmond having the largest enrollment. Invisible Indians. All Indians seem to have learned a wonderful way of walking unseen, making themselves invisible like certain spiders, which, In case of alarm, caused, for example, by a bird alightlug on the bush their webs are spread upon, immediately bounce themselves up and down on their elastic threads so rapidly that only a blur is visible. The wild Indian power of escaping observation, even where there is little or no cover to hide in, was probably slowly acquired in hard hunting and fighting lessons while trying to approach game, lake enemies by surprise or get safely away when compelled to retreat. And this experience transmitted through many generations seems at length to have become what is vaguely called instinct. John Muir In Atlantic. An Elusive Water Lily. The water lily of the Amazon has very elusive habits. The buds open twice, the first time just a chink at the tip in the early sunrise hours, a sort of premonitory symptom. On the following evening it spreads its four sepals with such alacrity that you can see them move. T.ut the big white bud among them remains unchanged until 4 o'clock in the morning, when it hurriedly spreads its blossom wide open, remaining in this condition only half an hour. Withi t the hour it -has nearly closed, and by another hour and a half the entire flower has been drawn under water by the coiling of tbe stalk. Diamonds. Diamonds were first brought to Europe from the east, where the mine of Sumbu'.poor was the first known. Golconda. now in ruins, was once a celebrated diamond mart. The mines of Brazil were discovered in 1T2S and tor a long tine furnished most of the diamonds of commerce. In 1S67 diamonds were discovreI in Cape Colony, and in the wonderful finds in the Transvaal were wade which resulted in the Immense fortunes of the late Cecil P.hodes and others. Most of tbe diamonds of tbe world are now furnished by the South African fields. New York American. A Crusher. "Tes, sir," said the trust majrnabs proudly, "I am the architect of my own fortune." Well," rejoined the friendly critic, "nil Pre got to say is that it's a lucky thing for you there were no building insietors around when you was constructing It." Chicago News. The Honeymoon. "Mamma, Is a honeymoon a vacation?" "ft may be, my dear, and it may be tne beginning . of a long period of servitude." Yonr.gstown Telegram. The wife of a well known Boston physician is reported to be conducting a "course in every-day ethics" for the benefit of the favored daughters of the Back Bay.

; GARDEN SEED TESTING.It Is Important to Know Germinating Qualities cf Stock. As a rule, American gardeners pay very little attention to seed testing, depending mostly upon the seeds they buy as being strong and fresh. However, very often considerable quantities of seed are carried over from one season to another, and these are of more value than any new supplies, because we have proved them by actual cropping on our land and under our conditions. Ilence it is very important to know tbe germinating qualities of such stock to avoid losses or delays. There are several methods of seed testing in common use placing seed between layers of moist cloth, sowing in sand and sowing into ground. Each has its proper place and time. However, unless a test is carefully carried out it is worthless. Thus the operator must know the degree of heat aud amount of moisture most suitable. The same trentment will not do for all. We must try to get as near as possible at natural conditions. We must consider the season. Some seeds are very difficult to sprout in wluter, and the nearer we approach their natural sprouting season the better the test, while others again refuse

to sprout in great heat, such as the f. ' . . summer months. Thus we see a test made out of season may prove entirely worthless or, worse than that, very misleading. During the winter months the sand test is the best, as seeds sprout more readily in clean sand than in moist earth, and the sand gives enough root action to allow us to judge of the strength of the young plants, which the moist cloth test does not permit The depth at which seeds should be tested must be decided upon according to season. Thus in the dark winter months very little covering is permissible, while later on more covering is needed to allow for higher temperatures and rapid evaporation. Gardening. Talk things over with the hired man. It will help both you and him. Value Loss of Silage Small. One reason why cornfields should be turned into the silo is that dried fodder corn deteriorates rapidly and toward spring becomes hard, brittle and possesses little palatabllity. Silage loses much less than dry corn fodder and is always relished by the animals, summer or winter. CITY ADVERTISEMENT. Department of Public Works. Office of the Board.
