TWO VVAYHE (MM PEOPLEjjlO GOLD Mr. and Mrs. Thursfon, Hagerstown, Wrest Fortune From Gold Fields. , (Palladium Special) HAGKRSTOWN, Ind., Nov. 21. T. I Thurston and wife, having amassed a fortune in the gold fields of Alaska, have returned to visit relatives and to renew old home scenes. T. L. Thurston Is a son of Dr. E. II. Thurston, ot Hagerstown. The Thurstons landed in Fairbanks, Alaska, on July 15. 1905, practically penniless. Fairbanks was two years old, with a population of three thousand, and being one of the chief centers of attraction of the Alaska gold fields, wae growing at a rapid rate. Kvery line of business was represented, and money, figuratively speaking, grew on business and trees.

Thurston got a job at the docks checking freight at $1 an hour, that being the wages paid both common and skilled labor. Thurston took advantage of the long summer days that prevail In Alaska, and worked from twelve to eighteen hours a day, which was not unusual for the new and enthusiastic arrival. Obtains Place In Bank. Thornton was an expert accountant. He applied the Fairbanks Banking Company and was made head book keeper of the only bank in the town at that time at $200 a month. Every building was made of logs, and the bank was a 20x30 log structure. Mrs. Thurston wished to aid her hatband. Looking about the "City of Logs" she saw above a door the sign "The Fairbanks Daily News," and entered the room just as the power press was set In motion to run off the dally Issue, a six-column folio. She asked for a place as society editor. This was a need at the paper, and she was employed, for Fairbanks' society even then had Its pink teas, receptions, church fairs, etc The salary was good and she immediately began getting copy for the pyt day's issue. The result of her Work was a big Increase of subscribers, notwithstanding the subscription price was 25 cents the single copy. Thurston began sitting gold claims, some of which, now being exploited, give such evidence of riches that the repeated offer of $100,000. for a promising claim has not been: considered. When prospectors retarded to Fairbanks with reports of "big pay" on Flat creek, the Thurstons joined the stampede. Out from DawsonjlKome and Fairbanks went large numbers, and on May 4. 1909, the gold seekers camped on tho Iditarod. five hundred miles southeast of Fairbanks. A city of tents, to which they gave the name of the river, rose in a day and sheltered five thousand people. In two months Iditarod was a full-fledged city and her citizens demonstrated their loyalty by a rousing celebration on the Fourth of July. At Iditarod, as at Fairbanks, the Thurstons staked gold claims. Mrs. Thurston, clad in moccasins, hood and coat, of reindeer fur, was her husband's companion on many long and perilous tramps. They report great yields ot gold. $3,500,000 being sent out from Iditarod last summer, with prospects of that amount being doubled the coming summer. Luck Follows Them. Almost from the time of their landing In Alaska luck followed the Thurstons. A gold nugget outlining the form of the letter T, which Mrs. Thurston found on a visit to- a placer mine soon iter landing at Fairbanks, she declares is their talisman. Thi9 nugget ha wean attached to a chain and so strong is her faith In its magical influence that money will not tempt her to part with It. Thurston is postmaster of the Iditarod office and Mrs. Thurston is his deputy. Mall is received once a week. During the winter season the mail is tsfren in by dog teams, which make the trip from Fairbanks, a distance of. five hundred miles, in eight days. The amount of mail carried by each team is from five hundred to one thousand pounds. Miners will tramp three hundred miles to Iditarod, through snow and storm for their mail. . More than one-half of the world's 600,000 miles of railroad are in North America and more than one third in wop.

How Grandmother Harlan Now Attends the Yearly Meeting

The going of Grandmother Harlan to the Richmond yearly meeting in the year 1911 is told by William Bayard Hale, the well known writer and a former Richmond man, in his reminiscent sketch of "The Old National Road" in the December "Century." The article will be read with particular interest by people living in Richmond and this section of the state. In part it is as follows: A sudden light burst out at the top of Linden hill, dazzling, fiercely powerful, the seurch light of something swooping down the road. A momentary terror seized me. Could it be possible that Grandmother Harlan came to yearly meeting on the trolley? I dismissed the thought as one unworthy of her gray silk dress and bonnet, her ample leisure and her love of quiet. No, she was behind equally staid successors of the good mares, of yore, tucked snugly in the back seat, with a paper of pepper- j mints in her pocket. She had de- i layed starting to-day until the sun was I well up and the mists had lifted from the valleys say, at 10 o'clock that morning and they were driving the old lady slowly and comfortably. Grandmother Harlan in a trolley car?, Oh. not i The thing with the fierce light came whooping down, but not past. As it reached the gate it hesitated, it turned, and, gathering speed again, drew swiftly up to the door a panting, six-cylinder motor car, bringing Grandmother Harlan in huge automobile coat and goggles! She explained calmly as she stepped out, her poke-bonnet in her hand: Thee knows it was so warm and dusty we did not start till near sundown. Eli thought we could do it nicely in two hours; it is only seventy TWO GREAT SCORES BOWLED BY MILLER Playing in a match game between the Eikenberry StarB and the Broderick Colth, last evening at the city bowling alleys, Miller of the Eikenberrys, registered a score of 225 in the opening contest, breaking all records for the season. Following up his work of the first contest, Miller bowled 222 in the second game, a score two points higher than the old record held by A. King. The play was consid ered remarkable for Miller has been bowling in the minor league, and yesterday was his first spectacular exhibition. Sptouse also registered a high count, almost reaching thet wo hundred mark in the first game. The Eikenberrys won all three games with little - competition. Summary : ' f Eikenberrys.

miles. I should like to have been in time to attend Fourth-day evening evening meeting. And so we should have been, the Lord willing, but as we went through Bellbrook does thee mind the place, William? Thy mother knew it well when she was a little girl a spark-plug burned out, and the cylinders back-fired. I fear Eli was sore beset, for his words were not those of soberness as he tried the cylinders. I said to him, 'Eli, let thy communication be, 'Yea, yea! nay nay." But he answered, 'Mother, thee knows the Scriptures, but thee knows nothing about a buzz- box.' " "But grandmother," I gasped as soon as I could fairly comprehend the thing, "isn't it unusual for Friends to come to meeting in automobiles? Horses were good enough in the old days." "William," said Grandmother Harlan, turning on me her gentle eye, and proffering a peppermint, "thee remembers that the Good Book says, 'A horse is a vain thing for safety.' " And the amazing lady, who had made her first journeys to Yearly Meeting in the saddle, and who had waited nearly a century to incorporate this particular Scripture into her

body of doctrine, pressed it home upon me with the look and tone of one uttering a precious saving truth. "Besides," continued Grandmother Harlan, laying her small hand upon the tonneau of the vibrating monster just as, without doubt, standing on the upping-block at this very spot seventy years ago she had laid it on the neck of the animal that had brought her over "besides," said Grandmother Harlan, with a last pat for the automobile, "thee knows, William, that no vehicle is so well adapted to the old National Road." EVANGELIST SPOKE ON CHURCH DUTIES An interesting talk regarding the duties of members of the general Christian church featured the revival meeting held under the direction of the Rev. H. D. Kennedy at the First M. E. church last evening. The evangelist's subject for the occasiton was the familiar thought of the "vine and branches." During his talk he emphasized the sad condition of mere membership in the church as contrasted with the vital relationship between church members and Christ, or between the "branches and vine," and told the audience how they could better themselves by living a more thoroughly Christian life. The revival meetings are steadily becoming a bigger feature in the religious work of the city, and much interest is bein gshown. Rev. Kennedy will conduct another service this evening. A special session is announced for tomorrow evening, when Mrs. H. D. Kennedy, wife of the evangelist, will speak on the topic "Hope to Christians." This meeting is planned as one Of the principal features of the revival, and the leaders in the movement are anticipating a large crowd.

STOP COUGHS SAVE MONEY The Advantages of the "Logos Plan" of Home Prepared Remedies. As is well known, the great majority

! of reliable cough remedies are ninetenths "simple syrup" and one-tenth real medicine. This is all right, because the medicine is too strong to take alone.

A CONVICT JUMPS FROMJAST TRAIN Dives Through Window and Escapes Local Police on the Lookout.

While east bound Pennsylvania passenger train No. 20 was speeding at a rate of sixty miles an hour Monday evening between here and Dayton Edward Mansfield, an escaped convict, who had been recaptured and was being returned to the Ohio penitentiary, ran the full length of the sleeping coach and dived through a quarterinch plate glass window, rolling down an embankment and making good his escape. The astonished guard who had him handcuffed did not anticipate any t.uch daring attempt and stood and gapped while the man made his get away, recovering his senses to late to risk a shot. At once police in all cities were notified and train men were informed to be on the lookout for Mansfield. He is expected to appear either in Richmond or Dayton, but most likely in the latter city. Mansfield, according to a long distance telephone call received by superintendent of police I. A. Gormon, and a special delivery letter verifying the telephone message, is a dangerous man. He is one of the "lifers" who escaped from the Ohio prison recently. The local police are not informed more fully as to his record and where he was apprehended. His description is: Age 33, five feet nine and half inches tall, weighs 146 pounds, dark chestnut hair, sprinkled with gray and a dagger tattooed on his left arm. LITTLE CHILD HAD A NARROW ESCAPE Ignorant of the approach of a Fairview street car, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schweitzer, walked in front of the car Monday and was saved from serious injury only by prompt application of the brakes by the motorman. The youthful Miss Schweitzer was playing j with her hat pulled down over her ears, so she did not hear the car approach. As she crossed the tracks the motorman tried to stop the car instantly, but owing to the condition of the brakes, it glided some distance before halting, knocking the child down. The conductor ran up and carried the infant to her home, at the corner of State and Sheridan streets, where it was found the child had suffered a severe scalp wound. The street car men were not held liable for the mishap. ACCUSED MEN DENY ANY WHITECAPPING (National News Association) BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 21.

HOW GERMS SPREAD Siail DISEASE

Ecrema Psoriasis and other skin troubles are caused by myriads of germs at work in the skin. Unless these germs are promptly destroyed they rapidly multiply, gnawing their way deep into the sensitive tissue. This is what causes that awful itch, and what seemed a mere rash may grow worse and develop in to a loathsome and torturing skin disease with its years of misery. Don't take any chances'. Destroy the germs at the beginning of the trouble with that soothing and cleansing wash, the D. D. D. Prescription for Eczema. A 25c bottle will prove this to you. VAN WERT MAN IS ARRESTED TUESDAY Charles Howell, of Van Wert. Ohio, who has been working in this city for some time was arrested this morning by Patrolman Vogelsong on the charge of wife desertion. Howells will be returned to that place at once to face the charge as he says he will allow the officer to take him without requisition papers. Howells has been working as a painter here.
