PIERSON REFUSES
TO BE A WITNESS So Charges of Highway Robbery Against Yeager and Bodiker Dropped. On declaration of Samuel PierBon of New Paris, a carpenter, that he would neither come to Indiana to testify nor otherwise furnish evidence against Thomas Yeager and Edward Bodiker, held at the county jail since the first of this month on the charge of highway robbery, prosecuting attorney, Charles Ladd has dismissed the affidavits pending against the two men. They were released from the county Jail on Wednesday afternoon. Plerson, with the two men and Ray Hilbert, walked home from a downtown pool room about 8 o'clock In the evening, and he claims that as they reached the alley between Thirteenth and Fourteenth on South A street they all turned in, with the exception of Hilbert, who continued on east. He told the police that upon going a short distance In the alley he was set upon by the two and robbed of $2. Bodiker and Yeaker were arrested within a few hours and identified. Upon being taken to the 'county jail the two engaged the services of Robbing and Robblns and Investigation by this firm and the prosecuting attorney, later convinced the state's attorney that it would be useless to hold Yeager and Bodiker. In his motion to dismiss the case the attorney declare! that Plerson has refused to asaist the atate- in the prosecution and furthermore has declared that Inasmuch as he is a resident of Ohio he does not have to come to Indiana to testify and will not. Ray Hilbert. who waa released a short time after his arrest, could not give evidence sufficient to warrant a prosecution, In the opinion of the attorney, unless Hubert's evidence could be supported by that of Plerson. To the defendant's attorneys the prosecuting witness gave a statement to the effect that he would not appear against the defendants. The prosecuting attorney afterwards saw Plerson and he again stated he would not appear in court and be a party to ending the alleged highwaymen to prison. The prosecuting attorney informed the court that as Plerson was beyond his jurisdiction, he did not feel It would be just to confine Yeager and Bodiker in the jail any longer. A STRANGE DESIRE TO KILL HIMSELF ELKHART. Ind., Oct. 19. Fearing he would yield to an almost irresistible desire to take his own life, J. K. Blood, a Chicago traveling salesman, appealed to the local police for protection from 'himself. Blood qbtained a room at a local hotel and early yesterday morning. Influenced by a desire to commit suicide, he raised a window to jump out, but overcame the impulse while poised on the window sill. Then he appealed to the police. JOB UNDER U. S.

YOUNG WOMAN LOST
Cincinnati Police Hunt for a Local Mute. According to a report the entire police force of Cincinnati is searching for Mrs. Ida Frazier, a deaf mute, aged twenty years, wife of Fred Frazier, who attempted to shoot himself a few weeks ago before he was married, because his sweetheart, now his wife, had her photograph taken with another man. It is said that Frazier, who is also deaf and dumb, is now in Indianapolis. His wife was going to Cincinnati to visit friends, it is said, and the conductor allowed her to get off the train at Brighton station when she desired to leave the train at the Grand Central depot. Apparently she became bewildered in the city and is now lost. Her misfor tune of being a mute is a disadvan tage to her. Upon her failure to reach the home of her friends, Supt. Jackson of the Cincinnati police was notified and he gave a description of the young wo man to every patrolman. THEATER PARTY FOR TELEPHONE WORKMEN In recognition of the work done in the recent fire at the sub telephone station, the Richmond Home Telephone company entertained fourteen men at a theater party and luncheon yesterday evening. The men met at the main office of the telephone company at half past seven yesterday evening and went to the Murray theater. At the end of the performance, they adjourned to the City Restaurant, where a special luncheon had been prepared for their entertainment. In the invitation to the affair, which the heads of the company sent out, the officers expressed their gratitude for the rapid and efficient work of the fourteen men who repaired the lines affected by the fire, and had the system in good order within a short time.

PLAN HIGH SCHOOL FOR YOUNG CUBANS American Friends Board of Foreign Missions Makes Appropriation. Recommendation of the field com
mittee In charge of the missionary work in Cuba, which comes under the jurisdiction of the American Friends' Board of Foreign Missions that the scope of the missionary work in the republic would be enlarged by the constructioh of a high school in the Eastern section of the island, was concurred in by the American board after much discussion Thursday morning. James Carey, Jr., of Baltimore who is chairman of the.Cuban Held committee reported on the necessity of such a school which In the curriculum agriculture, business courses and others essential to the proper development and training of the young Cubans. The American board determined to expend $15,000 for the school, which in Cuba will take the same rank as attained by a college in the United States. The location has not been decided more definitely than that it will be in the great sugar district, somewhere in the eastern part of the island. An Important Step. In addition to appropriation for the school, the board decided that $10,000 was needed for the general missionary work to be conducted during the ensuing year. The board feels that the step taken at the morning session was one of the most important actions it has taken. In the afternoon the board discussed the publicity feature of mission work. This likely will be left to a committee to be named by the board. On Wednesday evening the African work in detail was debated and it was decided to hasten missionaries to the dark continent, as Christianity is now facing its crisis there. Mohammedan missionaries are already entering the field and rapidly converting the natives. The' plan of the American Friends' board is to concentrate their efforts in the Soudan, Egypt and Brit ish East Africa. In order to do this several more missionaries will be detainel to the Held. The board has received offers from forty persons who desire to enter the mission work. Campaign Africa. On request of the governor of the province of British East Africa, the board directed to undertake the edu cation and training of the sons of the chiefs of the tribes In that territory. The purpose will be to not only make the tribesmen Christians but also to educate them along general lines. By concentrating the work of education on the sons of the chiefs the board be lieves as do the missionaries who are already In the field, that these con verts will return to their tribes and more quickly accomplish results among the tribesmen than missiona ries themselves could do. The task is such an enormous one, that it pre cludes missionaries undertaking the education of each Individual tribes man. The report of Edgar F. Hiatt. treas urer of the board, showed the total receipts during the year were $39,259. 59, the disbursements $32,042.29 and the balance now on hand $7,217.30. General secretary Charles Tebbetts re ported that during the year he had delivered 213 addresses on mission work in the United States and bad spent 36 weeks in travel. The annual report of E. Gurney Hill, the president, was of much interest in that he urged larger support for the missionaries, so that he work would be more easily accomplished and with more comfort to the workers. He advocated sending young people to the foreign fields, believing their youth and enthusiasm would be such as to accomplish great results. Miss Edith Tebbetts of this city . was selected as assistant secretary to succeed Mrs. Eliza C. Armstrong of Plalnfield. AESCHYLUS; Curious Fat That Overtook the Father of Greek Tragedy. Aeschylus, the celebrated Greek dramatic writer, is universally referred to as the "father of Greek tragedy." Born of a noble family at Eleusis, in Attica, 525 B. C, at the age of twenty-four he first presented himself at the festival of Bacchus as a competitor for the public prize and fifteen yean afterward gaiaed bis first victory. The pre-eminence which he thus acquired was successfully maintained till 468 B. C, when he was defeated in a similar contest by his younger rival, Sophocles. Aeschylus, mortified at the Indignity he thought this put upon him, quitted Athens and wept to the court of Hiero, king of Syracuse. Of the remaining period of his life but little is known, except that he continued to prosecute his favorite pursuit, and that his residence in Sicily was of some duration may be inferred from the fact that it was sufficient to affect the purity of his language. The thirteenth and last victory of Aeschylus was gained in 458 B. C. On the manner of his death, which was singular, the ancient writers are unanimous. While sitting; motionless in the fields his bald head was mistaken for a stone by an eagle which happened to be flying over him with a tortoise In her bill. The bird dropped the tortoise to break the sheB, and the poet, was killed by the blow. Aeschylus is said to hare been the author of seventy tragedies, of which only seven are now extant.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE Young Italian Despondent Over Love Affair.
Frank La Penna, an eighteen year old Italian, living at 621 N. Twelfth street, shot himself with a 32-calibre revolver at his home Thursday afternoon about 1:45 o'clock. He was despondent over a love affair. The young man was hastened to the hospital in the eity ambulance, where he was at once placed on the operating table and every effort made to save his life, which owing to the character of the wound is doubtful. Until a few days ago the young man had been paying attentions to a girl, said by his relatives to have been Helen Smith, living at 720 North Thirteenth street. La Penna, it is said, quarreled with his sweetheart and today carried out a threat made a short time before he committed the act. Placing the revolver under his chin and pulling the trigger he succeeded in sending the bullet through the roof of the mouth and through the brain, the ball coming out near the top of his forehead. He had been employed at the Elliot Reid fence factory, working at night. He lived with his brothers, Toney, Joe and Mike LaPenna, 621 North Twelfth street. CHARITY COUNCIL MEETS ON FRIDAY Announcement has been received of the next meeting of the council of the Associated Charities. The executive body of the philanthropical or ganization will convene tomorrow afternoon at half past one, in the Y. M. C. A. HELD RECEPTION Tho largest crowd of parents that were ever in the local high school at once, featured the reception which the faculty and pupils of the Richmond High School held yesterday evening. Fully 1,000 people went through the building during the evening, and all had an extremely enjoyable time. FIREMEN'S BADGES At the meeting of the board of works today Fire Chief Miller suggested that the city purchase the badges for the firemen so that when a fireman is discharged or when he resigns the badge will belong to the city and he will not be permitted to keep it in his possession. Mayor Zimmerman stated that he believes the city should purchase a die and have the badges made.

Colonials vs. Diamond Edge Friday night THE PRICKLY FEAR. This III Natured Fruit Is Remarkab! Tenacious of Life. The prickly pear is said to be so tenacious of life that a leaf or evap a small portion of a leaf, if thrown on the ground, strikes out roots within a short time and becomes the parent of a fast growing plant. Mischievous though the African prickly pear may be, it is not without its good qualities. Its Juicy fruit, though rather deficient in flavor, is delightfully cool and refreshing in the dry beat of summer, and a kind of treacle is made from it. Great caution must be exercised in peeling this curious fruit, the proper way being to impale the fruit en a fork or stick while one cuts it open and removes the skin. The Individ nal who undertakes to plnck this treacherous fruit with unguarded fingers meets with an experience he does not soon forget Concentrated essence of stinging nettle seems all at once to assail hands. Hps and tongue, and the skin, wherever it comes in contact with the Ul natured fruit, is covered with a"roup of minute bristly hairs, apparently growing from it and venomous and Irritating to the last degree." In dry weather these spiteful little stings do not even wait for the newly arrived victim, but fly about light as thistledown, ready to settle on any one who has not learned by experience to give the prickly pear bush a wide berth.

POSTAL BM DOES A LARGE BUSINESS But Most of Depositors Are American Citizens, Not Foreigners.
The postal savings bank recently established in this city, from the reports given out, seems to be doing a large amount of business. Most of the depositors so far have been American born, but the postal authorities expect to interest some foreigners soon. Not a single deposit has been withdrawn yet, and the holders of certificates are well pleased with the institution. The saving stamps are an attractive feature of the postal bank. Many children who can not make large deposits are buying the ten cent stamps, and thus gradually creating an account of some size. The stamps are also popular as currency, for they are negotiable. Many persons have adopted this method of paying their bills with the merchants. It has been noted that many traveling men. passing through the city, buy stamps, saying that they are sending them home to their children. The authorities in charge of the institution are not surprised at the paucity of foreigners in the list of depositors. It will probably be weeks yet before the foreigners will be educated to use the postal bant. The local postmen assert that, contrary to the general opinion held by bankers to the effect that the postal institution injures the business done by the private banks, the government bank will be a great help to business conditions. Assistant Postmaster Henry Deuker points out the fact that probably not one of those who patronize the post office depositary would place funds in a private bank. For this reason, the post office does not take money away from the other banks, but merely puts more currency into circulation, thus lessening the chances of a financial depression. A TURNTABLE CUTS OFF A BOY'S LEG (Palladium Special) LYNN, Ind., Oct. 19. Morris Longfellow, aged 6, had his leg cut off at the ankle on Tuesday afternoon while playing about the Big Four turntable at this place. He and several other larger boys were playing when he got underneath the turnstile unknown to the other lads. They started the machine around and before it could be stopped, one of the wheels had run over Longfellow's left leg, just above the ankle, and severed it.

DIPHTHERIA SCARE IS BEING0 U I ETE D County Health Officer Takes Prompt Action at Cambridge City.
A daily examination of all the pupils in the public school at Cambridge City was the order just issued by County Health Officer .1. E. King, as a result of the diphtheria situation in that town. Two physicians have been engaged by the county health depart ment to study the case, and the officials are making special efforts to prevent any spread of the disease. Last Tuesday morning was the start of the trouble, at which time one of the pupils who had been feeling ill for a few days developed certain symptoms of diphtheria. The origin was traced to another member of the same family, who was just recovering from the disease. Dr. King, with an assistant, made a hurried trip to Cambridge City, and the health officer personally inspected all the students. He then selected two Cambridge City doctors, and placed them in charge of the situation. They are making daily reports to him, and are examining all the pupils every morning. Dr. King is putting into practice In this case his theory that it is better to keep the children in school during an epidemic than to turn them loose on the street. He believes that with the children in school they can be watched and controlled, so that no epidemic is likely to result. If no new cases arise in the next three days, the health expert will consider the crisis past. Richmond is feeling in a slight way the general wave of diphtheria that is sweeping over the entire country. One new case in the Hilday family, 813
