EttiPuEOT JUST . ILUotU UtuLAntU Largest Crowd to Attend Such a Meeting in Twenty Years Was Attracted to the City This Week. VETERANS PLEASED OVER THE WELCOME Many Comrades Today Bade Last Farewells to Each Other, Tears irt Their Eyes, Voices Choking. . . V . t ... - "Goodbye, comrade. Ill meet you In V. M ' And with a last loving embrace and final graip of the hand, two loyal comrades In battle two hearts . that were true, who had shared each others cares and sorrows throughout four long years of struggle and strife, part ed perhaps never to meet , again on this earth. Tears streamed down the wrinkled and careworn faces of these hoary headed old veterans as they bide their farewells at local headquarters today. ' i But this Is only one of many touching Incidents that occurred In Richmond today. -With the closing .today of the envampmeni lire re passes into nisiory an event which will , linger ever in memory as an epoch in this community. Richmond is accorded the distinction of having held the most successful state encampment that has occurred In Indiana for twenty years and ine recora is ono or wnirn every rest dent may justly be proud. With clear skies and a bright sun the weather for the past three days has been Ideal and all that could bo asked. . All ' Records Broken. ' Prom a standpoint of attendance all records are eclipsed and It was stated by many of the prominent officers that It seemed as though they were attending a national encampment instead of state encampment, so gorgeous were the decorations and so lavish was the display of enthusiasm manifested on all sides. On Thursday evening three thousand civil war veterans had registered at the O. A. R. headquarters and while the number was In excess of what the committee In charge of providing for them had anticipated, no difficulty was axerienced In caring for the soldiers and providing places for lodging them, There waa not a single ill feature to niar the success of the entire encampment. Hospital quartets were provided In the rear of O. A. R. headquarters In the belief that some of the old soldiers would. become 111 and perhaps be overcome' by peoeleaijon under the rays of the torrid sun. But no such misfortune occurred and the extra precaution waa unnecessary. To attempt to give individual credit for the success of the affair would be difficult Everyone who waa In any way connected with the event contributed his . share In making the 1911 encampment at Richmond on never -to be forgotten. , ; .This IS the way that lobster prices grow In New : York city. , The wholesaler doubles what he pays the fisherman, the retailer trebles what he pays the wholesaler, and the restaurateur doubles what he pays the retailer.

MILLER IS SOLOIST

John B. Miller Feature of Lo cal May Festival. JOHN B. MILLER. Prof. Will Earhart says the following eoncernjna- John B. Miller, who will sing at the May Festival here, May 25 and 26: "Among the many fine singers of whom Chicago may well boast, none stands higher in the esteem of the mu sic Ian b of that city or Is more cord ially received by the general public than John B. Miller. Pages of favora ble comment from all the Chicago dailies could be quoted relative to his appearances ' with the Apollo club, in concert with the Thomas orchestra and in operas In the Auditorium there Numerous engagements for the most notable musical festivals of the west alo attest the favor In which Mr. Mil ler Is held." ' Mr. Miller's voice Is said by one of Chicago's leading critics in reviewing a performance of the "Messiah," by the Apollo club, to be "a pure, high tenor, easily produced, under good control, and at all times remarkable for its tone quality." "Gave an unusually good Interpretation"; "A thoroughly commendable performance"; "Sang In a manner befitting the sterling artist that he is"; "Come at once into fame by his' sympathetic and Intelligent singing;" these are-other quotations from Chicago's leading critics In re gard to the same performance. While Mr. MJJler is a resident of Chicago, being a member, of . the Chi cago Musical college . faculty, he has never sung in Richmond, and his appearance on May 26 will therefore be eagerly awaited. HAUNTED FARMER HASJELF KILLED Sends His Wife From Home, Then Has Son Shoot ' ' Him to Death. Greenwich, Conn., . May 19. A strange story is told here regarding the death of Fred Husted, a farmer, near herel, , Husted was 46 years old and owned a valuable farm of 80 acres. Wednesday afternoon he awoke with a cry from a sound sleep and seemed to be In a daze. He told his wife that he had experienced a horrible dream, but would not tell her of Its nature. ' Husted directed that Bhe should go to the home of Charles Young, a neigh bor, and ask him to do an errand in the city. Mrs. Husted put her baby in its crib upstairs and left the other children playing In the garden. As soon as his wife was out of eight Husted called his young son, Lester. By the time the boy reached the house Husted had placed a double-barreled shotgun across a table. Kneeling so that he looked directly into the muzsle. Husted told his little boy, who could hardly have' raised the heavy arm to his shoulder to pull the trigger. Lester was afraid to obey. "It Is all right son" Lester says his father told him. . "The gun is no loaded. Yeu tmli the trigger, for I want to hear how it sounds." : . The boy pulled the triggers but kept his thumb on the hammers so they fell lightly upon the firing pins. There was no explosion and the father rebuked his son for falling to obey him, and again cocked the gun. Placing himself In position, Husted said: "Now pull the trigger, son. Father wants to hear how It sounds. The gun Is not loaded." Lester pulled one of the triggers and his father fell dead from the effects of the full charge of heavy shot which had entered the side of his head. It was the opinion of physicians and others that Husted's dream had taken such a firm bold on him that he enacted It just as It had come to him in the vision. - - KNOTTS ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT ;. .v Gary, Ind., May 19 Added to an in dictment recently returned by the grand Jury, a charge of embezzlement today stands against Mayor Knotts, who was arrested last night Knotts Is accused of embezzling about $2,000. collected by him while serving aa judge of the city court, which, according to City Treasurer Simpson, he failed to turn into the treasurer's office.

May ' 19.- Walter Drew, secretary of the National Erectors' as sociation, announced today that "he will press a charge of criminal libei against James Elliott, of Pittsburg. who held in that city after an alleged confesion that he as an expert in explosives was asked where to place dynamite to wreck eight . structure and implicated Detective William J. Burns and John Ponshey, of the Erectors association. Elliott asserted that he had bcn promised $1,000 but that he received only $150. The confession was made public by the International Iron and Bridge Workers' union to discredit the arrest of McManigal and the Mo Namara brothers. In connection with the Los Angeles Times explosion case. "It is an absolute fabrication," said Drew. "I see he mentions having helped to blow up the Furnace of the Corrlgan-McKinney company at Cleve land. That company's owners would be happy in the thought that only their furnace was blown up and totally de stroyed. The loss waa $480,000 by the lowest estimate. It did not happen, however, to involve our member ship. "I never met Detective Burns in Pittsburg. In fact I never knew him at all until recently. I never heard of Elliott. "That I ever purchased explosives In Pittsburg or any other place is un true. Our people today In all parts of the country are guarding their work with as much care as at any time in the last three years. , , "Elaborate precautions, Including many guards, electric searchlights, time-clocks, electric wires,' launches armed with magazine guns and forces of river patrols are now the ordinary accessories of the structural Iron and steel work." BURNS JUST LAUGHED. Chicago, May 19. Detective Burns laughed at the Elliott story from Pittsburg. He declared it was a Joke, but said that he expected to hear many such stories for some time.

SUGGEST DRUG FARM

Washington Pharmacists to Raise Own Plants. Washington. May 19. That a drug farm or two near this city might prove a uprofltable investment for some enterprising person as well as fill a long felt need among numerous local pharmacists who are desirous of obtaining the best drugs to be had from a market situated near this city, is the view of a large portion of the members of the local branch of the American Phar maceutical association, who visited the experimental farm of the department of agriculture at Arlington, Va. The pharmacists spent about four hours at the 400-acre farm, during which time they saw growing about 200 different drug plants, not to . mention many peach and apple trees, and large fields of rye, barley and oats. Many of the druggists expressed their surprise at the work done at the farm, and it is said that all carried' home meny new facts gathered on their trip. The drug plants are being raised under various conditions with the purpose of ascertaining under what conditions they may best be raised to produce the best quality of medicines and extracts. Though but little interested from a pharmaceutical point of view In the raising of fruit and grain, the druggists took much interest in the methods of protecting fruit tress from frost and in the prevention of disease by spraying. Some of the drug-pro ducing plantB which it is said might be raised profitably In the nearby country sections are digitalis, golden seal, blood root, lavendar, cascara and different species of mints. Dr. Rodney H. True and his assis tants explained the work of the farm to the druggists. .

Ufa is so arranged that there Is a close resemblance between Infancy and old age. By this Is not meant the mental but the physical faculties. Fcr example, the organ of digestion a the most difficult thing the child has to contend with, as it is that of the old person. When a person gets past middle life his power of digestion decreases, and continues to grow weaker, and for that reason so many old people . are habitually constipated. They try everything recommended from hot water to strong cathartics without avail. Now, If there Is any one thing a person of advanced years should not take It la a cathartic The bowels cannot stand it. What Is required li a mild, gentle, non-griping liquid laxative.
