IMPROVEMENTS III CITHT COSTLY Strict Economy Will Have to Be Followed by Board From Now On.

Economy must be the plan of . the city government in ordering more street improvements. The city has already overdrawn its street department appropriation and has bad to transfer funds from other departments to keep up with the demand for funds. West Main street. Ft. Wayne avenue, and East Main street have made heavy drains on the Improvement fund. The improvement of North Twentysecond street from Main 'to F streets iras up for consideration today. Cement sidewalks, curbs, and gutters were asked for. This would cost the city a large sum, probably over $3,000 because Glen Park fronts on the east side. The board decided to continue the proposed Improvement. Ft Wayne avenue from the railroad to F street will be bricked. No protests against this improvement were made. This will also cost the city a large ' sum, as the Improvement of the street in front of the park near F street must be borne by the city. The city will pay $2,500 on the Improvement, and payits share of the street 'improvement in front of the park. Not a howl, not a wall, nor even a negative grunt was heard when in : deadly silence this morning the board confirmed the improvement calling for the paving of West Main street from ! the river west to West Fifth street. The city will pay $4,000 on the lmI prorement. The property owners have ' ten days yet in which to remonstrate. Cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters i for North Twenty-Becond street from ; Main to F streets was held over. The cost to the city would be too great. ' The Improvement of North Eleventh street from O to J streets, calling for : cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters, : was modified to call for only sidewalks. The board confirmed the resolution for a cement alley between Eighth and Ninth streets from the' first alley south of Main street, south to A street.

OUR MOST HYBRID WORD.

AUDITING IS FINISHED Field Examiners Are Nearly Through City Books.

Messrs. Boggs and Smith, field examiners from the State Board of Accounts, who have been going over the financial records of the city of Richmond for seme time past, are nearing the end of their labors in so far as the affairs of the city government proper are concerned, but they still have a huge task ahead In the audit of the street improvement records. All over Indiana cities that are doing much In the frabllo improvement line have had more or less difficulty with the prevailing system of accounting for bonds issued to cover the cost of such improvements. Few if any cities have been free from the perplexities arising therefrom and Richmond, as has been heretofore stated, has bad its troubles along this line. The State Board of Accounts which is now planning to issue and put into effect uniform systems for all departments of municipal accounting, will have a complete public improvement record which will prove of great value to every city.

MRS. SHONTS DYING

CHICAGO, April 25. Mrs. H. D. Shonts, mother of Theodore P. Shonts, the New York traction magnate, and grandmother of the Duchess de Chaulnes, is critically 111 at her home here. Last Saturday she fell part way down a flight of stairs and suffered severe bruises about the head. Since then she has suffered continually and physlcials have been unable to relieve her. At times she is delerious. Owing to her advanced age, 86 years, physicians fear she may not recover from the shock.

FAMOUS EPIDEMICS.

"Ramaoadamizlng" Can Boast of Hav-;-ing Five Language Parents. The most hybrid word in the English language, according to- Professor A. F. Chamberlain of Clarke university, writing in the Popular Science Month

ly, is "remacadamizlng." Professor

Clarke points out that this word is derived from -five languages Latin, Gaelic, Hebrew, Greek and Eu11gh. He resolve? it into its factors as follows : First. Re, a Latin prefix, signifying a repetition or doing over again. Second. Mac, a Gaelic word for son,, In common use as a prefix for genea logical purposes. , Third Adam, the representative la many European languages of the Hebrew name of the first man, according to the Mosaic account of the creation as given In the book of Genesis. , ': Fourth. Iz (or lze), the modern Eng-. llsh representative, through the French, Iser of the Greek verbal terminal izeln. , Fifth. Ing, the English suffix of the participle present, verbal noun. etc. The root of this word, "macadam," Illustrates In another way the vitality of our English speech, and its ability to draw new words into Us vocabulary whenever the need arises. The term "macadam" is really the family name of the man, John Macadam, who In 1819 devised the now common method of paving roads with small broken stones, etc. Celtic and Semitic had already combined to produce macadam, meaning "son of Adam," which the English language, then took up and farther molded to suit its genius. There are many such hybrids,, but this Is probably the worst.

In Europe In 1348 the Blaok Death Claimed 25,000,000 Victims. In the twelfth century not less than fifteen epidemics of disease and many famines carried off the people of England. The thirteenth century saw twenty plagues and nineteen famines, while the fourteenth had a black record of disease. In 134S the "black plague" or "black death," which was brought Into the country from the east, caused the death of 100,000 persons in London alone, while in Europe altogether 25,000,000 people fell victims to its ravages. In 1485 the "sweating sickness" appeared in England, causing great destruction of human life. It reappeared at various intervals for a century thereafter. The last terrible visitation of the plague in England was in 1664-6G, by which 100,000 lives were lost in London alone. This epidemic was followed by the great fire of 1066, which destroyed 16,000 houses, Including all the most densely populated portions of the city. The rebuilding of London with some regard to sanitary laws appears to have put the first check on the epidemic diseases that had previously devastated the population. London Standard.

Advico In Securing Riches. Frederick Weyerhaeuser, the St Paul multimillionaire, once gave the following rules on how to get rich: "Make up your mind to work at something really worthy of work and work hard. The surest way to make money is to save money and to use what you have. Don't be afraid of long hours or constant attention to your work. Work can be made a joy. an economy, a pleasure. If you combine an object worth while with the determined ambition to win. Any young man can get rich, can succeed, if he saves, If he has a definite and honest purpose and is so filled with the purpose that work ceases to be n hardship and becomes a prlvlleerp."'

STRIKING MINERS GETJETTLEMEHT 180,000 Anthracite Workers Victors in Fight With Operators.

(Natlona.1 News Association ) NEW YORK, April 25. The threatened strike of 180,000 anthracite coal miners, which has been pending for two months has been practically settled with victory for the miners, it was announced today by representatives of the strike committee of the miners, who are in conference at the Hotel Victoria. The mine managers, it is understood, have accepted a tentative agreement presented by the miners' committee and all that now remains is the ratification of the agreement by a bote of the. mine workers throughout the country, and its acceptance is regarded as practically certain. Under this proposed agreement the miners will get 10 per cent increase in wages, abolishment oi the sliding scale and the right to have committees in each colliery to adjust any differences that may arise without first making direct appeal to the head of the union. This last concession, the miners say, practically amounts to recognition of the union. The agreement will be effective for four years.

RAILROAD WINNER IN DAMAGE ACTION

The Jury in the case against the P., C C. & St. L. Railroad company, in which the plaintiff, Henry Tieman, demanded damages to the amount of $500 for alleged personal injuries, due to the negligence of the defendant company, returned a verdict this morning in the Wayne circuit court finding for the defendant. The Jury was out but a short time. It is likely that a new trial will be asked. Judge Fox, In his instructions to the jury declared that In his opinion the defendant could not be held liable. He said that Tieman was in a car unloading lime, under the Instructions of the Mather Brothers Co., his employers, and that the Mather Brothers company was the only party which could be held liable. Tieman was injured while at work unloading lime from a car which was standing In the company's yards, when an engine bumped the car, throwing Tieman to one end of the car, injuring his knee. He alleged that he was unable to work for six weeks.

TAFT ROAD ROLLER RAH OVERCUMMINS President Will Have 16 of the 26 Delegates at Chicago Convention.

(Nation .l Nwa AHoelttloo) CEDAR RAPIDS. la., April 25.-

President Taft will go to Chicago with sixteen of the twenty-six delegates

from Iowa. Senator Albert H. Cum

nuns will have ten. Whether the

Iowana name will be presented to the

national convention at all is a question today. State leaders who assert that

the steam roller was used on the Cum mins men. asserted today the delega

tes would not be released from their pledge to the Iowan. and that they would be kept as a neucleus of a "dark horse" movement Taft supporters assert that Taffs victory eliminates Cummins entirely as a possibility in Chicago. Taft forces after two days of Jockeying and delegate swapping controlled the convention by 41 votes. The first test showed he had 761 delegates to Cummins 720. Then the roller was brought out and run through the hall. Short positive resolutions endorsing the Taft administration and pledging the delegates at large to him were passed. "It was an old-time caucus convention. We were beaten by proxies that fell Into the hands of Taft men," was Cummins' comment as he left for Washington.
