Ward was a master In the short, eplgramimtlc expression of wit, but one rarely could recall its manifestation. While Twain was also an adept In this phase of humour, his genius lay in his talent for extending comedy narrative. Dr. Vincent gave some of the interesting biographical details known to
kail the admirers of tin great writer.

cents Abroad," which the speaker sta
ted was "the fuuniest book in the
English language." and from "The Study of the German Language,"

That the board of works made Itself

Wilfred Jcssup, who Introduced George

board voluntarily and without undue

EVEII USING PEARS
FOR MM CIDER
Cider Mill at Fountain City
Is Now Being Worked Hard and Long.
(Palladium Special) FOUNTAIN' CITY, Ind., Sept. 1.
Farmers in this community who have an unusually large apple crop this
year are now turning their attention
to the best method of disposing of the surplus, and as a result several have planned to ship the best fruit .while the lesser quality fruit is being converted Into cider. The same is true In respect to pears.
For the past four weeks Henry S.
Macey of this place has been operat
ing his cider mill on Tuesdays and Fridays and turning out the amber colored fluid by the barrels. Shortly he anticipates the operation of hia
mill four days a week for the supply of apples which is being brought in is so great that he can not press all of them inthe time as now allotted. The press will continue in operation
until the killing freezes come.
The cider is being manufactured largely for the vinegar market. Some, however, has been retailed here and
in Richmond and other cities as a
beverage. Mr. Macey is unable to es
timate the quantity of cider which
has been made at his mill in the past four- weeks, but it is an unusual amount, due to the fact that the apple crop here is the largest in a decade and will aggregate thousands of bushels. Although only acquainted with conditions in this section of the country, Mr. Macey, has been given to' understand that the crop elsewhere is large and that farmers are both shipping and making cider out of their surplus apples and pears.

TO PURIF RIVERS Dr. Davis Tells of Plans of State Board.
v CHICAGO. Sept. 1. Aeroplane hats, with aviation bows, will be the extremely proper thing in millinery this season. Also the girl with the muff is coming back. This time the muff is as large as a suitcase, and is suspended from the shoulders by cords or straps. Inside the muff there will b9 mirrors, pomades, powder puffs, handkerchiefs In fact a well equipped beauty parlor. Incidentally, there will be room for the girl's hands. - Carrying out the aviation idea In woman's dress and hats, it may be said right now that prices will make some new altitude records and man, the
horrid - brute, will have to do some lively volplaning stunts to meet the
bills.
Like a Dinner Cap. Very broad hints of all these matters came out last night at the opening session of the national milliners' convention, at which there was a superb display of the newest confections In bead-
gear. The winter's outfit for the properly dressed woman Mill be startling. In addition to the immense muff there must be a bouquet of fur to match. This, to the uninitiated, strongly resembles a dunce cap with donkey ears attached, but the creators say it is the Mercury helmet, with monoplane trimming. . The cafe hat will be of unusually large acreage this season. This creation, it Is admitted, will be built chiefly for the diversion and to stir the envy of other women diners. This lid will be so large that It will crowd the ordinary aisles and hallways and will have everything on It, including the mortgage for the old home, unless the wearers have a cel
lar full of money. All of Same Shade.
The muff-and-hat-to-raatch , proposition, however, is what will put this land of the brave and home of the free on the brink of collapse. It is deCreed that no matter how many hats milady may elect to own, she must have a muff to match each one. Gloves, shoes, jewelry and all that
must also be of the same shade. It
is easy to see where the breadwinner gets off.
As a result of the' ruling by the
United States senate that no aigrettes shall be used, herons' plumes are substituted where a jaunty effect is de
sired.

TRUNK MURDERER TO JEJXECUTED Only Thing Which Will Save
Jesse Ward Is Action by Governor. (National News Association) PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 1. Jesse P. Webb, the principal In the so-called
trunk" murder which stirred this sec
tion of the country a year ago, will be executed at the state prison early
in the coming week unless his sentence is commuted by Governor West. Webb has had two trials and an appeal for a third trial was denied by the supreme court. Governor West, after a careful review of the case, announced that he saw nothing that would warrant his interference with the sentence of the court. Conse
quently, there is believed to be little or no chance for Webb to escape the
gallows. Webb was convicted of killing William A. Johnson in the New Grand Central hotel in this city a year agp last June. The victim was shot and then beaten to death with a blackjack and his body stuffed ' into a trunk.
The murdered man had arrived at the hotel from Spokane a day or two before the crime, in company with Webb and Mrs. Carrie Kersh, who subsequently was proved to be Webb's paramour. Johnson had about $1,900 in his possession and it was to obtain this that the murder was committed. The evidence at the trial showed that after killing Johnson the body was stuffed into a trunk, the murderer being assisted by the Kersh , woman. The trunk was sent from the hotel to the railroad station for shipment to an interior point. At the station one of
which had trickled from the trunk and this led to the discovery of the crime. On the same day Webb and Mrs. Hersh wer etaken into custody as they were returning from an automobile trip to a suburban resort. On Webb's person was found two watches, one of which was identified as Johnson's, and , two handkerchiefs' both blood-stained. On Mrs. Kersh was found most of the money taken from the victim. The subsequent trials
showed that Johnson's death was plan
ned by the couple with the object of robbery, Mrs. Kersh being the lure. The trial of Webb resulted in his convictionof murder in the first degree. The woman was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to fifteen
years in the penitentiary.
HUH
T FOR TEACHER
To Instruct History and German Classes.
Search Is being made by Superintendent E. E. Oldaker, of the Cambridge City schools, assisted by County Superintendent C O. Williams for a teacher who may take a position as teacher of German and history in the public schools there. Two new courses were added, German and manual training, and this necessitated a change in the teaching force. Superintendent Oldaker will teach manual training which in a modified
form will be the same as is taught
at the Richmond high school in the wood working department.' He hau planned to teach history before it was determined to establish the manual training course. The search for one who has a license to teach both German and history so far has been a vain one and probably will not be ended on Monday which is the opening day of the fall term. The manual training course will be for the benefit of the high, school and the seventh and eighth grade pupils. Superintendent Oldaker is expecting an enrollment of about 75 In the high school and about 400 in the common
schools.
Trustee William Brown, of Green township has made a change in the
high school teaching force at Williams
burg. Miss Margaret Buttom who was assistant principal, has resigned to accept a position at Lawrenceburg, and Miss Gertrude McArthur, of Columbus has been employed for the vacancy-

City Health Officer Dr. T. Henry (Davis stated this morning that he is anticipating a big statewide movement before long to purify the rivers of 1 1ndiana. This will come, he says, as a result of the conclusions reached ; Wednesday at the special meeting of the State Board of Health, held at Indianapolis. At this gathering of experts, a committee was appointed to 'make an Investigation of the conditions In the White River district This action .was found necessary ow
ing to the fact that nearly all the cit
ies on the stream are polluting the water with sewage. It is practically certain that stringent precautions will
be taken to purify the river. Dr. Davis believes that the cities all over the State will wake up when they begin to see the results of the proposed work on White River. It will be only a
short time, according to the local
health expert, until every river in In
diana will be receiving attention. Dr.
Davis feels that this is a wonderfully good movement, because many of the
rivers are utterly unfit for public use, Dr. Davis will attend the next meet
ing of the State Board, which will be
held at the state capital on the fourteenth of this month. The report of the investigating committee will be heard at this gathering and the actual work of purification of the water

MAYOR BANISHES
OLD JIM FORKNER
"Jim" Forkner, when arraigned in
police court today on the charge of public intoxication, asked for the. po
lice judge's mercy. .
"I'll give you another chance," the
mayor replied. "You can take your
choice of going to jail for a period of
140 days or leave the city." Forkner elected the latter but it
doubted by . the police if he will remain away from Richmond. Forkner has been a frequent visitor at the county jail. He was arrested last evening by Patrol Driver Wenger on
South Sixth street.

The inconvenience which some of
the citizens have experienced in .the past few months as a result of the in
correct marking on the mail collec
tion boxes, will soon be relieved , by the local postal authorities. Some
time ago the hours of collecting the mail were changed, but no notice of
the change was posted on the boxes.
Postmaster Haas put in a request for
some new cards, but the order was not filled until yesterday. Temporary cards made of heavy pasteboard will; be put on all the collection boxes at once, giving the hours of collection as last corrected. In a short time these will be supplanted by permanent signs of heavy metal, as soon as the government can forward them. L. C. Niewoehner, of the Richmond post office, has been chosen as the local representative at the national convention of Post Office clerks, which meets soon in Florida. Mr. Niewoeh
ner leaves tonight for the meeting, and
will be absent for several days. Some important matters are expected to come up at the convention.
The principal work of the meeting
will be the adoption of a resolution
requesting the government to grant the post office clerks a forty-eight hour working week. The letter carriers have been benefited in this way, but the clerks are expected to work until their duties are finished. They believe that it is unfair for them to have to work longer than the letter carriers, and they hope their resolution will decide the government to grant them the shorter hours. Harry Young has gone to Rochester, N. Y., as the local delegate to the annual convention' of letter carriers, now in session in that city. While this meeting is not as important this year as the clerks' meeting, several general questions of interest to the carriers will be discussed.
(National News Association) " WASHINGTON. D. Sept The post office department today begins an experiment which is regarded as one of the ; most important steps yet taken by Postmaster General Hitchcock in his plans to reduce the expense of the service and thereby , pave the way, so It is believed, for the ultimate adoption of penny postage. The plan inaugurated today provides that the greater part of the second class mail matter consisting of magazines and periodicals,-heretofore
transported in railway mail cars, will be carried by fast freight The pub
lishers are to be permitted to print on the wrapper of each copy or bundle of their publications, as a part of the address, instructions as to the date on which delivery is to be made.
In accordance with this arrangement postmasters have been directed to carry out the instructions with respect to the delivery of fast mail freight Mr, Hitchcock believes that the new system will be found satisfactory to the publishers and the public alike, while the expense to the government will be far less than heretofore.
