AN EATOM RECLUSE DROWNEDIN LAKE Body Found This Morning by BoysFell in While He Was Intoxicated.

(Palladium Special) EATON. O., Sept. 7. Daniel Cain, agen seventy, a truck farmer, living three miles southwest of this city, was found dead this morning, floating In Crystal Lake. The discovery was made by two small boys, Malcolm Clear and Robert Gray. The body waa floating face upward and had been lying In the water for some hours. Although both eyes were discolored, foul play Is not believed responsible for the man's death. Coroner James M. Quinn is conducting an Investigation this afternoon in regard to the death of Cain. Evidence introduced, shows that Cain was known to have returned from Richmond, Ind., last night between nine and ten o'clock. When he arrived here he was seen to be under the influence of liquor. It is supposed he wandered to the lake, fell in, and was In such stupifled condition he was unable to get out again. When found he had but nine cents in his pockets, but as he was never known to carry much money about, him, the theory of robbery is discounted. - The body lies in the undertaking parlors of H. B. Silver. A daughter4 living in Cincinnati has been notified of her father's death, but no disposition has been made of the body, pending the coroner's investigation. . Cain was a recluse, and very little Is known about his life. For Sale Grocery. Located 1102 Sheridan. All stock and fixtures. Reasons for sale, dissolving pirtnershp.

In reference to air currents and the reasons why the wind blows the as tronomer royal of England explains that air consists of gaseous particles, all trying to get away from one another, and that under certain conditions they can be compelled to come icloser together by contraction or forced to fly further apart by expansion. A quart bottle, for example, holds twenty;two grains of air at the temperature of 70 degrees. If the bottle be cooled by surrounding It with Ice the air inside contracts. When this occurs more air rushes in through the bottle's neck. The quart 'of air now weighs more than , twenty-two grains. If the bottle be heated the air it contains expands, its tiny particles fly further asunder, and many of them escape from the bottle altogether. There is still a quart of air. but it weighs much less Chan' the original twenty-two grains. Now,, consider the earth and the sea under the Influence of varying degrees tf the sun's heat. Where the beat is greatest the air is made-lighter and expands. Where the heat is least the jair Is unexpanded and heavy. Both the hot and the cold air have weight, but the cold, being the heavier, is (drawn more effectively down to the (ground. In doing so it drives the lighter air up out of its way, just as a lump of lead dropped into a pail of water forces some of the water upward. If the earth were equally warm It every part and continued at a con stant temperature wind could not exist It "blows" because of heat and gravitation. In other words, air moves from the place where its weight or pressure is most toward the place where its weight or pressure is least. STORIES OF ROSSINI. " Hla Dread of Thirteen and Friday and a Coincidence. Rossini had scant patience with amateur composers. One such once Accompanied the manuscript . of his latest composition with a Stilton cheese, of which he knew Rossini to the fond. He hoped of course to have . letter praising his work. A letter came, bnt all it said was: "Thanks. I jllk the cheese very much." L When Rossini was rehearsing one of ibis operas In a small theater In Italy he noticed that the horn waa out of ftuae. k "Who is that playing the horn in nuch an unholy way?" be demanded. I "It is I," said a tremulous voice. I "Ah, it la you, is it? Well, go right Tiome." It was his own father. Rossini's whimsicality extended even o hla birthday. Having been born on Feb. 29, in leap year, he had of course . birthday only once in four years, and when he was seventy-two he facetiously invited his friends to celebrate his eighteenth birthday. I All his life he had a dread of the number thirteen, as well as of Fridays. He never would invite more than twelve to dinner, and once when he had fourteen he made sure of an .understudy who would, at a moment's notice, have been ready to1 come should one guest have missed. And, though this was a double superstition, he died on Friday, Nov. 13. New York Sun. An Unfereeeen Calamity. In his own mind Abel Saunders was - a man marked out by destiny for misfortune; in the minds of his neighbors it was a wonder that such a shiftless man got on as well as Abel did. When he appeared at the door of the resident who had ordered a dozen eggs the night before be unfolded a much rumpled paper and took from it four gg. ' "That an there Is left o what 1 started with, he said lugubriously. "If 't had been anybody but me they'd ve got here all right, .But the four little holes that was In the bottom o the bag I saw 'em. but there wa'n't any one of 'em half big enough for an egg to come throughif they didn't a)I join together when I was most over ihere!

WE ARE ALL ALONE

Although in the Midst of Human Activity we may Be As Isolated As If We Lived on a Desert Isle. But Mavbe This Is Better Than the Neighbors.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Alone in a crowd! This is a common experience and one pictured by the pen. It has been made the theme of nov elists and the plaint of poets. You read of it in the papers as the cause of suicide. " Insane asylums witness to its bale ful influence. And it has driven to desperate deeds. You find them everywhere recluses in the heart of a great city. Hermits in thronged centers of population. It is one of the saddest phases of living and a melancholy reflection upon the futility of social intercourse. The average human being cannot stand the pressure of loneliness In any environ beyond a given point Then his mental equilibrium is lost. 1 This is one reason why so many j farmer's wives become insane and I men marooned in a wilderness go mad. The human animal is naturally gregarious. He must have the society of his kind. Whether he cares for it or not. And he generally cares. For it is only the occasional entity which desires complete solitude because of a dislike for men and women. However much he may fancy he longs for entire seclusion from the "madding crowd" he gladly welcomes the companionship of the least congenial after a period of social surcease. There's many a Robinson Crusoo hanging on to some man Friday for no reason on earth save that the latter is a human being with whom he can hold conversation on those trivial matters which are yet interesting because common to everyone. It is usual enough to pick up a paper and read of lonely suffering cheek by jowl with gayety and comfort. One of the most depressing aspects of city life is the callousness of those whose walls adjoin yours. To be sure it might be regarded, contrasted with the feverish and microscopic interest taken by "the neigh-! bors" in small towns, a beatific state, i For the prowling affection of those next door is oftener than not more oppressive than the heat with the thermometer at one hundred odd in the shade. You would welcome gladly the cold and unrecognizing stare after the exhaustive and hilarious scrutiny of those along the block. How gladly you'd hie to the busy marts where you could talk as loud as you wanted to about your own affairs quite sure that if anybody heard they wouldn't care nor know what it was all about. Bridget can tell you all about it. How about the time she is comfortably settled on the back poroh with her steady somebody in the adjacent porch turns on the electric light to put something in the refrigerator. And how, after listening demurely to a declaration of devotion accompanpanied by satisfactory demonstrations she hears a shutter softly pulled to above. This is about the time Bridget wishes she lived in the middle of a desert and gives notice next day. She says he likes you all right but can't stand the neighbors prying into her affairs. She'll have to get another place where the house is In the midst of extensive grounds and the back porch is enmeshed in shrubbery. v Where, perchance, there may be a hammock under the old apple tree and she can spend her evenings unmolested by the search-lights and pussyfootings of the amateur Sherlock Holmes's next door. In desperation you offer her the use of the front veranda.

The Price of Lemons Soar Skyward And Lemonade Will Be a Luxury .

Lemonade will be a luxury in Richmond by Monday. If you want lemonade for the rest of the hot weather buy your lemons today. The supply in Richmond is practically exhausted. Commission houses today reported that they had sold out their stock and that their orders cannot be filled "in the great fruit distribution centers. One commission house did not have a box of the fruit in stock this morning and others reported that their supplies were depleted. Prices jumped to forty cents a dozen today, and lemons at five cents a piece may be the order next week. Two weeks ago lemons were selling at $4 to $4.50 a box at wholesale, this week they brought from $6.25 to $8 a box. Indianapolis wholesalers demand

The Guinea Pig Helped in the Discovery Of the Germ that Causes Dandruff

When Drs. Lasser and Bishop made a pomade by mixing scales of dondruff and vaseline, which they afterwards rubbed on a guinea pig, they were contributing to science more than they knew. The application of the salve caused the pig to lose its hair and become bald. This was merely one of the preliminary steps which made possible the discovery of Newbro's Herpicide. After establishing beyond question the existence, of the dandruff germ, a remedy was needed to kill this parasite. There was nothing which would do this until "Newbro's Herpicide was placed upon the market. Being the

But she says it will be just as bad there. She's seen 'em operating on those higher up and so she gives notice and you retire to an upper chamber and there profanely denounce the tribe of neighbors. It is true, however, that the averrge person cannot stand undiluted doses of his own society. Although, in the last analysis, we are all terribly alone. In the end we fare forth, unattended, on the unknown sea. We come alone. And so we go. And its psychological phases are Btrange and inexplicable. In a certain story of great fascination called "Anne" by Constance Fenimore Woolson, an incident remains

fixed in the memory because it put down In words an experience almost everyone nas hadTne nero of the tale, at a summering place, looks in at a dance. He stands in a doorway and watches the dancers. . The room is filled. The lights are bright. The gayety "unconfined." Everybody in the colony is there. Except "Anne." Anne has gone away. And Anne was not a conspicuous part of the colony's social life. In fact she was rather timid, shrinking, minor. Her out-going interested no-one. She wasn't missed in a general way. The hero, in fact, had seen little of her. But that little was much And when he looked In at the dance, where his presence was anxiously expected, he had that feeling of vacuity which attends the discovery of the absence of some particular one. Everybody was there but no-one. The bottom had fallen out. The affair was "flat, stale and unprofitable." . It reduced itself, the dance, to a chattering display of marionettes. Of human puppets. And yet in there were being enacted all sort of comedies and tragedies, But they did not touch him. Because of the absence of one person the place was empty. And yet had she been present the whole aspect would have changed. The room would have been full of life, color, interest, charm. Even the others now mere gyrating puppets, would have taken on human complexion. This condition applied to a room. But It can obtain in a house, a building, a town, a city or even a country. One of the mysteries is the blank caused by the displacement of personality. It is one of the most desperate accompaniments of death. The place which has known this personality "knows it no more." The same house, the same furniture, the same familiar objects books and chairs and pictures and the thousand and one paraphernalia of a dwelling. But the animating spirit has departed. A great vacuum is created. Nothing seems the same. Familiar things take on a foreign appearance. We are aliens in the midst of our own home and people and land. And the departure of a living personality leaves much the same feeling, the same disorganized state. In greater or less degree as the person assumed importance in our particular scheme of things. This is one of the most melancholy phases of human intercourse. Of existence Itself. It is only a part of that great flux of the universe which heeds us not.

The California crop was short last year and the frost early In the spring along the Southern Pacific coast made a large per cent of the crop unfit for use. Up to about a week ago there was little demand for lemons because of the continued cool weather, but this weather was hard on lemons in cold storage causing them to spoil quickly. When the present hot weather started there was a decided call for lemons and dealers found themselves with small supplies.

On Cover Was Mad to Pit a Roomful of Sleeper. A writer in a French magazine tells a curious story about how they manage cheap lodging houses in China. Along Chinese roads, it seems, there are many of these lodging nouses, where the charge for a night's lodging is considerably less than 1 cent AH the bedding provided is one huge mass of feathers, into which all the guests burrow. Formerly they used to get blankets, but some time ago those wbo ran these primitive inns learned that their losses on account of the theft of blankets by guests were far too large. Something, they decided, had to be done. Finally an Ingenious man among them bit on this: Over the feather filled room of his lodging house he hung an enormous canvas covering. In the daytime it hung neaT the ceiling. At night it was lowered by means of pulleys until It covered the entire mass of feathers and all those sleeping thereon, thus taking the place of individual blankets. This huge canvas was provided with a large number of small silts through which the guests might stick their heads and escape suffocation beneath the immense covering. Early each morning the loud pounding of a drum served to waken the sleepers and warn them to get their heads out of the silts in the canvas. Thereupon it was raised again to the ceiling and fastened there to await the next batch of sleepers. Punishment. The disadvantage of being hard to please lies in the possibility that other people may stop trying. Puck.

The excessive heat of the past week has somewhat dampened the ardor of Post C members and attendance at headquarters has been very light. It requires some effort to be amused in ! a room at ninety in the shade. Charles W. Morgan and Charles O. Tooker are the self-appointed members of a special social committee this warm weather. Their duty is to keep headquarters alive and entertain any nervy member who chances to come up. They are strictly on their job every minute and members need have no fear of getting lonely when they drop in for a pleasant chat or a game of euchre. The many friends of C. Voris Patterson are pleased to learn he is on the road to recovery from a very serious illness. We hope to see him at headquarters soon. Biographical. In the dark and gloomy days of 1863, when our nation's destiny seemed to hang in a balance, several history making events took place. These events were perhaps the turning point of our nation's career. In that year Meade defeated Lee at Gettysburg. Grant captured Vicksburg, Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, and to add to the triumphs of the very eventful year there was born on the 25th day of December, in the south-eastern township of Whiteley county, Indiana, a promising infant who was christened Marcus, and who is today the honored Secretary and Treasurer of Post C. This prodigy of a Christmas gift, in a dark and gloomy time, came to Indi ana just in time to tell the youngsters of today about that cold New Years'. Fourteen months only of our Secretary's young days " were spent in the place of his birth. From there he went with his parents to Missouri, where he lived eighteen years, associated with such characters as the James and Younger boys. Wild Bill, and several other pioneer desperados. His education along the line of his associates was not neglected and some terrific tales are on tap when you get our Secretary in a reminescent mood. t twenty years of age he came back to Richmond where he clerked in groceries, fruit houses, etc. For the past twenty years he has been engaged in the wholesale Candy business. He has built up a substantial business and Hafity's specialties are known the United States over. He has occupied various positions in Post C, and has been Secretary and Treasurer for several years. In this capacity he Is one of Post C's most important officials. Just exactly what we would do without him the PreBS Chairman don't hazard a guess, for he is always on the

We await the call of President Harrington whether a September meeting will be held. Charles W. Morgan and "Yours truly" have been appointed by the President, on instructions from the Directors, to purchase new curtains, coverings for the card room carpet, seeing to getting our rooms papered, and a whole lot of other things in connection with preparations for winter activities. We would adivse President Harrington that we are progressing fine, and further when he has any more genuine "snaps" like this don't overlook us. We do certainly like the work as well as the honor.
