DE PALMA LEADING
THE GREAT 500 MILE RACE When the Race Started at 10 O'clock This Morning There Were 60,000 and , More Pouring In. (Continued from Page One) Itue race last year because of his many tire changes. m At the end of fifty miles tire troubles began with many cars. Matson, Mulford and two or three others pulled up at the same time for tire changes. .Wilcox experienced engine trouble and topped at his pit for several minuteB, losing eight laps. De Palma led at 50 miles. His time was 36:30. This beats the previous record for cars of this class by 3 minutes. On his twenty-fifth lap a valve on Bruce Brown's National stuck. At the iend of the ten minutes he was still working on this accident with seemingly no success. De Palma had not fnade a stop at the end of his eightieth knile and had a good lead over every one else. It was announced that the Lexington driven by Harry Kinght had blown up a cylinder and retired from the race. At the end of the first hundred miles De Palma in his Mercedes was still leading, having broken the 'world's record by a little more than one minute. . At 180 miles -De Palma led with Dawson in a National second, Tetzlaff third. They were averaging over 82 miles per hour. Frayers in a Fire-Btone-Columbus retired with a broken shaft. Hearne's Case also broke a fchaft in the 55th lap and retired. Carlyla Corrected. At a Royal academy dinner in London on one occasiou several artists iwere expressing their enthusiasm about Titian. Carlyle and Thackeray jwere among the guests. "His glorious coloring is a fact about Titian," said one man. striking tbe table to give empliasis to tbe remark. "And his glorious drawing is another fact about Titian!" cried another artist And so tbey went on until Carlyle. who bad been listening in silence to their rhapsodies, interrupted them by saying, with a slow deliberation which had its own impressive emphasis: "And here 1 sit. a man made in the Imago of God, who knows nothing about Titian and cares nothing about Titian, and that's another fact about Titian." Thackeray was sipping claret at the moment. He paused and bowed courteously to Carlyle. "Pardon me." he said; "that appears to me to be not a fact about Titian, but a fact, and a lamentable one. about Carlyle." Washington Monument. The cornerstone of the Washington monument was laid on its fine site, which overlooks Washington. Georgetown. Arlington and Mount Vernon, by President Folk July 4. 1848. Its marble shaft rises in all the dignity of unadorned simplicity to tbe height of 655 feet. The base of the shaft is fifty-five feet square, and It gradually tapers juntil at the 500 foot point it Jhas diminished to less than thirty-five feet. This monument is said to contain 18,000 blocks of marble, each two feet thick. 'They were lifted on an elevator run by steam, suspended in an Inner framework of iron, which was built up at Intervals, thirty or forty feet at a time. In advance of the surrounding masonry. The aluminium capstone, nine Inches high, was set in position Dec. 6. 1884. thirty-six years and a half after (the cornerstone was laid. ! The Actor's Clothes. ', Oar principal actor of whims was IMr. Mansfield, as has been made Iknown variously. One whim of his is I related by Fritz Scboultz, the costumer. When it came to the staging of "The First Violin" Mansfield was keen to 1St garments with "character" in them !and found that of all places Schoultz's irwas the one that could supply him with iredingotes. He was delighted with khem. introduced them and at the end of the Chicago engagement absolutely declined to return them. Tbe matter of getting stage clothes .with character is interesting in Itself. ISecondhand shops supply the most, although on occasions an actor has 'been known to approach a laborer on, tbe street and make him an offer for his weather beaten coat. Chicago Post. , Gladstone's Speeoh For Irving. Gladstone was a great admirer of Sir Henry Irving, and this admiration ,was shown one day in the bouse of commons. Irving was under the gallery in the house when suddenly, without apparent reason. Gladstone leaned to his feet and delivered an impassioned speech, set off with all the expression and dramatic gesture for which he was .so famous. The house seemed surprised. Members looked at one another and murmured, "What is tbe old man now up to?" They thought it was some deep political pa me. But a week or two later a friend of Irvlngs. encountering Mr. Gladstone, mentioned the actor's visit to the house, and Gladstone eagerly Inquired: "What did he think of my speech? I made it for him." Name For the Species. A Texas statesman, who knows as much about poker as he does about politics and as much about politics as he does about poker, sat In a little game in New York one evening and became extremely annoyed, not to say peeved, by tbe lamentations of a man wbo was losing. Finally one of tbe other players, nlso irritated by the constant wail, told the loser: "You are one of the greatest monologists I ever listened to outside of a theater." "He's not a monologist." said the Texan tartly. "He's a moan-ologisc." Papular Magazine.

A CENTENARY OF A FAM0USS0LDIER Gen. M'Clernand, Had He Lived, Would Have Been 100 Years Old Today. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, D. C, May 30. On this, the day universally observed as a day for honoring the memory of the soldiers who fought for the Union, it seems appropriate to call attention to the fact that the day also marks the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Gen. John A. McClernand, one of the distinguished leaders of the Federal army. While his historic quarrel with Gen. Grant has cast something of a shadow over Gen. McClernand's fame, no historian has ever ventured to question Gen. McClernand's patriotism as a man or his ability as a soldier. Gen. McClernand was born in Hardinsburg, Ky., May 30, 1812. but spent the greater part of his life in Illinois. He was a fellow-townsman and personal acquaintance of Lincoln. Successful in law and in politics, a man of undoubted ability and energy, it was natural enough that he should receive from the President a commission in the army at the beginning of the war. On order, of the President, Gen. Grant placed McClernand in command of a corps. But for some reason the strongest ill-feeling existed between the two soldiers and Gen. Grant took the first opportunity, during the operations against Vicksburg, to relieve McClernand of his command, pending charges. The charges were not sustained and McClernand was restored to active command. He resigned from the army, however, before the close of 1864. After the war, Gen. McClernand was elected circuit judge for the Sangamon district in Illinois; and in 1876 he was chairman of the Democratic national convention which nominated Samuel J. Tilden for the presidency. Gen. McClernand died at his home in Springfield, 111., Sept. 20, 1900. MEMORIAL AT CAPITALWASHINGTON, D. C, May 30. Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska, was the orator at the Memorial Day exercises at the Arlington National Cemetery today.

STATE CLOSES CASE Surprise Sprung in Harris Murder Trial Today. (National Kewi Association) RUSHVILLE, Ind., May 30. There was a surprise in thePaul Harris murder trial just before ? noon today when the sttae announced it would rest its case. This followed the testimony of three of its important witnesses, Ed Pitman, Charles Lewis and George Starr. Pitman is a clerk in Little's drug store hereand he testified that a few days before the death of Paul Harris mother and the burning of her home Paul Harris came into the store and wanted to buy some prissic acid, saying he wanted to kill a calf. Pitman refused to sell the acid, saying there was none in the store. Lewis testified that Harris came into his hardware store at Connersville and wanted to buy a revolver and that he told him he had none to sell. Starr, a clerk in the Powell store, at Connersville. pointed Harris out as the one he had sold a revolver and some cartridges several days before the burning of the home and the death of Mrs. Harris. The defense this afternoon began its attempt to impeach the negro Culbertsont who gave damaging testimony yesterday against the defendant. EIGHT ARE KILLED IN GERMAN WRECK (National News Association) MUNICH, Germany, May 30.-- At least 8 persons were killed outright and 41 others were injured in the collision , of two trains on the railroad bridge between Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, and Salzburg, Austria, today. A number of cars were wrecked and the debris was piled up into hillocks along the track. Relief was sent to the scene from Reichenhall. A wrecking train carrying nurses was dispatched. Early reports from the scene 6tated some of the injured were so badly hurt that they could not survive. The railroad connects with the Austrian western railway line at the frontier. It runs through mountainous country. Must Conform. Without the slightest compunction the copy reader changed the quotation and made it read thus: "A fool and bis money are parted soon."

AGAIN HASEMEIER AGAIN T County Sunday School Officers Chosen Yesterday. Boston in 1913. (Palladium Special) MILTON, Ind.. May 30. The Sunday school convention which was in session here, Tuesday and Wednesday, was largely attended and, indeed, throughout the two days. The devotions were opened Wednesday morning by the Rev. J. E. Coffin, of Cambridge City, at 8:30. This was followed by . Geo. N. Burnie with an address, "Our Slogan." Miss Hazel A. Lewis, superintendent of the State Elementary Department, followed with an excellent talk on the "Proper Aims in Elementary Teaching," and illustrated her subject as she talked with appropriate stories. Next came the Questions and afterwards music. At 10:15 came the reports ffom the Department superintendents, secretary and treasurer. The afternoon session was opened with devotions conducted by Mrs. Etta King, of Greensfork. At 1:35 the convention was addressed by Prof. Elbert Russell, of Earlham, who took as the subject of his address, "The Gospels.'.' The address was fine and full of new thoughts for his hearers. After a song by the convention Miss Hazel Lewis talked along the line of "Story , Telling." George N. Burnie also spoke on "Gradation What and How?" The convention closed Wednesday night with a song service and devotions, led by the Rev. E. G. Howard, of Richmond, and an address by George N. Burnie entitled "A. B. C." On Tuesday night the leading features of the convenion was the address by the Rev. F. M. Rains, who is secretary of the Foreign Missions Board of the Christian church. His address was along the line of mission work in India, China, Japan and Hawaii Islands. He has the happy faculty of keeping his hearers greatly interested "and attracted. Another feature of interest was the surprise sprung upon the convention by E. P. Jones, superintendent of the Christian church Bible school, at Milton in the way of a men's chorus, which was composed of singers from Dublin, Cambridge City, Milton, East Germantown and surrounding country. There were about seventy five in the chorus. The following constitute the newly elected officers for the coming year: Edward Hasemeier, of Richmond, president; W. H. Doney, of Cambridge City, vice president; Miss Laura Bertsch of Centerville, secretary; Charles Callaway, of Milton, treasurer. The next convention will meet at Boston. Milton claims the honor of having one of the best conventions in point of "attendance, interest and instructiveness ever in the county. Spiders. Spiders are not insects, as most people think. The spider has eight legs, whereas an insect cannot have more than six. The nervous system is constructed on a totally different basis, and so are the circulation and respiration. The eyes are different, the insects having many compound eyes and the spider never having more than eight and all of tbem simple. Then a spider has no separate head, tbe bead and the thorax being fused together.

STATE TAFT
LEADERS IN BAD PLIGHT They Are Now Planning to Make a Contest on the Two Roosevelt Delegates From Sixth District. (Continued from Page One.) Roosevelt candidates for delegates, al ternates, elector and contingent elec- J tor were placed before the convention by Elmer Baasett and on his motion were elected by acclamation. "In the Sixth District convention the contested delegates were permitted to vote on their own eligibility to sit in the convention proper. There were six contested Taft delegates in Henry County, and. one and one-half votes in Shelby County, on the Roosevelt side, were contested by the Taft men. The convention, so far as surface indications went at the time, ended in harmony and good feeling. "Charles H. Campbell said yesterday that he was surprised to hear that the Sixth District delegates had been contested by the Taft men in Chicago. He said that immediate action would be taken to prepare a proper defense on behalf of Porter ana Bryson." W. A. Bond's Opinion. W. A. Bond, who led the Roosevelt fight on the floor and in the pre-con-vention hours for the Roosevelt forces said this morning. "If contests are made on the delegates from the Sixth district they can only be made on the most unfounded grounds and by the trickiest of chicanery. "The Roosevelt men were elected unanimously on motion of Elmer Bas sett, the Taft leader. No rump convention was held, nor was any protest made in the convention. Again, it was the Roosevelt men who urged the Taft men to agree to the rule of keeping those delegates on whom there was a contest from voting on their own eligibility." "If this had beep done the contested delegates, six in number, from "New Castle, would have been thrown out on the Taft side while all that the Taft men would protest were one and cne-half votes. As it was the Roosevelt men had a majority in the convention organized and officered by the Taft forces, who refused to remove their contested delegates until they were outvoted. The Taft men have no case. James E. Watson and other Taft men admitted in and out of the convention that they had been fairly outvoted and there was no occasion for a contest. The incident simply shows the desperate nature of the Taft cause. BASEBALL RESULTS AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.

THE TROUBLESOME LITTLE WEEDS
BY ISAAC U TOTTEN. The city man .riding along a rural highway will remark the particular characteristics that give individuality to, each farmstead. He will observe that one farm has a neat, clean-cut appearance while another farm nearby is so strikingly and riously in disorder that It grates on his nerves almost as much as the squeaking, grinding sound that goes through his head like a knife when a city car comes around the corner. As the city man rides along there is a constant classifying of the various farms and their occupants. This farm attracts, that one over there repels. The action of classifying is often done almost subconsciously. The impression which the various farms have made upon his mind remain, and he usually says to himself and often to those who accompany him that one certain farm is the most attractive of all he has seen and that another is tbe most odious. He goes further than the classifying of the farms: he classifies the occupants of the farms. He deducts from the appearance of the premises the characteristics of the man in charge. We often look upon advertising as something that appears in print, and it does: but there is advertising and advertising. The appearance of our farmsted advertises us to the passerby. The foregoing is prefact;ry to saying something about weeds. There is nothing that shows thrift more plainly than the absence of weeds from the farm. There is nothing that shows more plainly how diligently and earnestly a farmer has worked than the absence of weeds from his place. And there is nothing that shows more plainly that a farmer is trying to do his part in the production of good crops than the absence of weeds. Very few city folks realize huw much of a warfare the farmer must wage against the noxious weeds. Very few city folks take into consideration the fact that a large part of the high cost of food stuffs is owing to the cost of the farmer's diligent warfare against weeds. No farm, of course, is free of weeds. But it is quite evident that some farms have more weeds than others. The passers-by who are not familiar with the work on the farm have little idea of the work that it requires to kill the weeds. A corn field or meadow along the road that commands attention because it is practically free of weeds has cost the farmer many days hard work and much money. a To place that corn field or meadow in its clean condition means not only the work of a year but of many years. It is estimated that weeds cause an annual loss to the farmers of over fifteen million dollars. This estimate is none too high. In fact It may be too low when we take into consideration the value of the la bor and time required to kill the weeds. Some seasons, of course, the loss owing to weeds is greater than during other seasons. The greatest loss comes during a wet season when it is almost out of the question to get into the fields to do anything. An exceptionally wet spring brings the weeds in abundance whether the ALLEGES A MISTAKE Of $900 Was Made in of a Store. Sale (Palladium Special) NEW CASTLE, Ind, May 30. The complaint for judgment on account of an alleged mutual mistake of 'partners, which was filed in the Henry circuit court a short time ago has been led in the Delaware circuit court on change of venue. The plaintiff in the case is Cassius C. Beall, of Richmond, wbo was formerly in the clothing business in that city and who is now in the dry cleaning business there. The defendant in the suit Is Thomas Beall with whom the plaintiff was a partner in business in New Castle. In the first part of 1910 the plaintiff agreed to sell his part of the business to the defendant, and that the value of the stock agreed upon was S12.043.74.

food crops grow or whether they de not. This spring the weeds have gotten considerable start and it meant addt4 work to fight them.. We must have sunshine to- aid us in the fight ; because as we all1 know our ' efforts along the line of weed killing : without the aid of "Old Sol"' amounts to very little. The war on weeds to be effective must continue from early spring to . late in the fall. Of course, it is a fact that some of our land cannot be handled to the nest advantage when plowed is the fall for the next year's corn crop; yet. as we said, the fall plowing according to our experience affords a better opportunity to destroy weeds than when the ground Is plowed in the spring. When the ground is turned over In the fall, the weed killing can be begun as early in the spring as we can get on the ground to commence scratching around with the weed destroying implements. This means that a large part of the crop Is tended before It is planted. "My. but you have a good crop of
weeds in that field," we remarked to a neighbor. "How do yoa account for such a stand?" "I let too many weeds. go to seed on the ground last fall." was his reply. "I did not keep after the weeds as I should have done after the crop was laid by." A weed that goes to seed in our corn field this year means that there will be a vigorous family of weeds to contend with in our field during the seasons following. Weeds multiply so rapidly when once started that it requires constant, diligent work to keep them under control. There are so many ways in which weeds can get started on onr land that it keeps us busy trying to prevent new ones from getting started. Many new weeds are brought to our farms in the grain seeds that we buy, and we sbold all become familiar enough with the weed seeds to detect them in the grain seed and reject any and all seed containing the undesirable weed seeds. It is not an easy matter to control the weeds. It may look easy to the man who does not know; but it isn't. If we had nothing else to do on the farm only wage our warfare against the weeds we could make a conmmendible showing in a very short time. However, we can go more deeply into the study of weeds and weed seeds so that we could fight the weeds more successfully. If we knew the characteristics of the harmful weeds know how they reproduce themselves and know at what time we can best destroy them and -check their spread we can handle the weed problem for less money and time and labor. The best source of information that we know of, where we can get authentic Information regarding the various kinds of weeds Is at the Purdue Experiment station. As tax payers we contribute to the support of that Institution, and we should make constant use of it. Any Information desired on weed or any other subject can be obtained from the authorities in charge. If there are troublesome weeds on your farm and you do not know how to best destroy them do not hesitate to get in touch with those who know. The complaint alleges that the plaintiff owed the defendant 138.37 and a note in the sum of $1,363.50. In making the settlement and subtracting, a mistake of 8900 was made, it is alleged, in taking a "9" for an "0" so that the plaintiff only received $5,083 instead of 95.983 of his share of the business. Beall alleges that he should have received $900 more. He says In bis complaint that the mistake was not discovered until July 1910. He declares the defendant refuses to settle.
