POLICE WANT

ALLEY EXITS An Ordinance Introduced in Council Providing that Saloonists Must Place Lights on Alley, Doors. (Continued from Page One) skilled butcher paid by the city, was merely a tempbrary one and that government Inspection would probably be reinstated at the plant. Councilman WelBhaupt said, "There will be such an agitation for government Inspection that the agricultural department will have it brought back to Richmond. Though the department asserts that its appropriation for meat inspection is used up, it does not cost any more to inspect the plant provided the owner makes certain requirements, which resulted In having it withdrawn, than it does to inspect it in its present condition." Councilman Von Pein said, "Every effort to bring the government inspector here ought to be ma.de. These butchers are too friendly with one another and are apt to let things go by. A veterinarian is outside the guild and I think it would be better for a veterinarian to do the work. I will vote 'aye for the ordinance provided that it is a temporary one." Dr. C. S. Bond was not invited to attend the meeting. last night. One of the councilmen referring to the doctor's statements pertaining to the cost of making the necessary improvements at the Holzapfel plant, said it could not be made for less than $1,500, and that Dr. Bond had planned to have zinc where porcelain was required. The responsibility of the enforcement of the meat ordinance was left to Dr. Davis, city health officer, by the council, i Mayor Zimmerman said if the ordinance was not executed properly, Dr. Davis will have to step down from the position of health officer. Financial Condition. An ordinance ordering the transfer of. accounts from previous appropriations to other accounts was passed, the money to be used for additional improvements in 1912. City. Controller, McMahan reported the city treasury in good condition and that the council need not be afraid of running Bhort of funds. He reported that there would be plenty left over. "The $25,000 drawn Saturday was the first money .drawn on the tax money," ho explained. The sum of $200 was ordered drawn from the general fund for miscellaneous expenses of the public parks, and $200 from this same fund for the pay role of public parks; from the miscellaneous department of public health to the account of the meat inspector's salary $175 was drawn; from the miscellaneous department Of the street expenses, $150 was transferred to the crushed stone account; from the account of the ii&y role of the M. E. L. & P. P. to the meter account of the M. E. Li. & P. P., $110 was transferred; from the same account $100 was transferred to the miscellaneous department account of the light plant. Another transfer from the pay roll department of the plant to the account of sundry equipment of the plant was made, this transfer being for $300. Object'to Scales. " Councilman Kauffman said that the new scales purchased'by the' city were not constructed according to the report of HomerY Hammond, former president of the board of works. The sum of $28 was held as a reserve on the scales and this will not be paid until they are satisfactory to the city officials. V' The report of Marketmaster John Taylor was read and approved by the council. ' Councilman Williams said he had been "buffaloed" by the council last week. The council accepted the invitation of the art association to visit the art rooms and attend the exercises held at their, recent exhibition of Indiana artists. They agreed to meet Always Have MUSTEROLE in the House Every family should have a jar of MUSTEROLE at hand.

Eckman's Alterative Highly; Praised A Valuable Remedy -for Throat and .;.... Lunns. It is folly to believe that Consumption differs from every other disease in not requiring the use of any medicine for its treatment. For a number of years an enormous mass of voluntary and thankful testimonials from persons who consider that they owe their lives to Eckman's Alterative, a medicine for Tuberculosis, has been accumulating. Surely plenty of time to demonstrate its lasting value. You can write to any of them. Here is one: 5323 Girard Ave., Phil., Pa. "Gentlemen: In the winter of 1903 I had an attack of Grippe, followed by Pneumonia and later by Consumption. I grew steadily worse. In the winter of 1904 I had cough, night sweats, fever and raised quantities of awful-looking stuff and later I had many hemorrhages; at one time three in three successive days. Milk and eggs became so distasteful I could keep nothing down. Three physicians treated me. I was ordered to the mountains, but did not go. Eckman's Alterative was recommend

ed by a friend. After taking a small quantity I had the first quiet night's sleep for weeks. My improvement was marked from the first. I gained strength and weight and appetite. I never had another hemorrhage and my cough gradually lessened until entirely gone. I am perfectly well. .Everything I say here can , be verified by my family and friends." (Sworn affidavit) ANNE F. LOUGHRAN. Eckman's Alterative is effective in Bronchitis, Asthma, Hay Fever; Throat and Lung Troubles, and in upbuilding the system. Does not contain poisons, opiates or habit-forming drugs. For sale by leading druggists. Ask for booklet telling of recoveries, and write to Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia, Pa., for additional evidence.

The people on the west side are complaining of the condition of the sidewalks on the Doran bridge. President Kennepohl said the sidewalks are now passable on both sides as the railroad company was ordered to remove its lumber and did so. The report of the Municipal light plant for the month of October was accepted by the council. Superintendend Nimrod Johnson submitted the following report: Total receipts, $7,725.50; operating expenses, $1,784.47; building equipment, $1,251.08; paid into sinking fund $660. Total disbursements, $3,695.55. Balance on hand in the municipal fund, Oct. 30, $39,010.42; amount on hand in the sinking fund, $16,334.45; excess of 'actual receipts over operating expenses, $4,552.08. Ferling's Report. Dr; George Ferling presented his statement to the council for time spent as inspector at the Holzapfel plant. For cold storage from May 4 to May 20 and from October 20 to November 2, and for ink which he personally prepared for the purpose of stamping meats. The total amount being $3.15. The report was referred to the finance committee. Attention was called to the condition of the gutter at the intersection of Grant and Sheridan street. A woman was reported to have fallen into the gutter as a result of the gutter cover having been carried away. Councilman Kauffman called the attention to the need of an arc light at the corner of North Sixteenth and E streets. He reported that women have been assailed at this place and the need was as great as in any part of the city. Mayor Zimmerman then reported that the light plant would not be able to take on any more lights at this time, as the maximum load was now being carried by the plant.

LAUD CinjTREETS Columbus Council Committee Makes Inspection. Richmond has the best constructed and maintained streets of any city in the country according to Cooper Broth ers, one of the prominent road contracting firms in the Middle West. The members of the irm were here last week inspecting the macadam streets of the city, which are considered models by road experts throughout the state, and after their inspection passed the foregoing compliment. A committee representing the public improvement department of olumbus, Ohio, investigated the streets of the city November 13. They reported that motorists from that city had spread the report in Columbus that Richmond had such wonderful streets that before making the extensive improvements in a new edition to Columbus the local streets should be examined. Messrs. Sands and Wright, two Columbus opuncilmen, were in the committee which went over the local macadam streets. They obtained statistics from Street Commissioner Genn relative to the cost, repairs .and maintenance of the streets, to be presented to the council of Columbus. The Most Curious Known Animal. The most peculiar and remarkable animal ia the world is the Ornithorynchus paradoxus, the famed egg laying mammii of Australia. It is shaped like an otter, has fur like a bearer, ia web footed like a swan, has a bill like a duck and a tail like that of a fox. It is the only known fur covered creature

that lays eggs.

THE SYSTEM'S WRONG

But if Everybody Would Get Together and Give One United Shove, Rank. Injustice and Social Inequalities Could Be Adjusted.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. There is little Justice in this world. And yet it's the one thing the world is straining after. It is of course humanity's perversity. Heading in one direction while hankering for another. Although optimists say we are evolving, if but slowly, toward a more equitable distribution of social favors. However that may be, wo have not arrived. And are not within either gunshot or bombardment distance. But, certainly, there shpuld bo some Bort of civic procedure through which one of the units of citizenship should not have to cuffer for the whole. The fact is that it is the small tax payer that bears the burdens of assessment. The recent spectacle of that noble patriot, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, and the fledgling heir of the Astor estates, side-stepping their civic responsibilities, is not one of wrhlch the nation need be proud. Side-stepping them and with the full official sanction of their environ. In the meantime a resident of this town, a hard-working man who, in the course of a life-time, accumulated enough to buy a home, is to be despoiled by the municipality because of street improvements instituted by the latter. Now the fact is that, in this particular case, the man is the victim of a social system. And when the word "social" is used, it is understood, of course, that it is not in its ordinary sense but covers the workings of the people and the state and their relation to each other. He is not the personal point of attack on the part of the city and officials. He is simply a poor old man who Is in the path of the civic Juggernaut. And he'll be mowed down under its relentless progress. The facts have been set forth in the news columns of the dally papers, and are these: The city takes a strip of land 46 by 597 feet for which they give the man $800. The area of this, as the owner states, is equal to about 4i ordinary city lots, which makes the price paid the owner less than $200 a lot. "Now," states the man, "if the opening of this street increased the value of the remaining land, I would not have any kick coming. But the contrary is the case. My land will be damaged or lessened in value from the fact that it will take the greater part of the value of the remaining land to pay for the making of the street. ' """This" will necessitate placing ' a mortgage on my home. ; . "I thoroughly understand that I am to receive $800 for ihis ground and that it will take all pf this $800 and a thousand dollars more to make the street." The man is 74 years old. He worked many years in a local manufacturing concern but all the time he was working he was paying for this property. His income now is limited to that derived from the raising of garden truck. The area for raising this will be diminished by the making of the street. In the meantime he will have to pay the interest on the $1000 mortgage. "Let him sell his home," says some one. Aside from the sentimental phases selling the house in which he and his wife have lived for thirty years what would this accomplish? The amount received from Its sale would not enable him to buy another place in whlph to live and provide sufficient income upon which to exist. On the other hand here is the position of the city: If it should remunerate the man in accordance with the dictates of justice and on a strict financial basis paying him what the land was actually worth in the local real estate market it would establish a precedent the operations of which would work future municipal bankruptcy. Or the raising of the local tax assessment to a prohibitive figure. The city must follow the legal procedure. Which, in opening a street, is to follow the course indicated by the majority of the property-owners petitioning. It is alleged that the majority of the latter want South Seventn street opened. Therefore there is nothing to do but to go the usual municipal gait in such cases. And the old man will be ground under the wheels of that famed progress. Everybody knows that this is all wrong. But everybody says "what are you going to do about it?" Why, sure enough, what? Such social mal-practice could be changed at the next election if it was put to issue. Our system could be changed. Not necessarily entirely revolutionized. But political economists, government experts and financiers might get together and evolve a plan through which the state did not weaken its support. For every time this is done the state is "weakened. As stated here the other day, it is just such isolated cases of this kind not necessarily of this exact character but kindred injustices which is at the bottom of our wide spread and undeniable social unrest. In the days of absolutism and one man rule, the serf and minion must, perforce, submit. But this is the supposed -day of the rule of the people. And the people want to rule. And they don't intend to submit much longer to social inequalities of the sort that mash- one man to pulp and lets another pile up millions to turn into libraries with his name over

Andrew Carnegie is the one grand old fraud of the U. S. As a citizen he's absurd. And as an exponent of the arts a joke. After squeezing the public dry and raking in the shekels by the bushel he retires to his toy castle in his native land and there issues pious and canting pronounclamentoes. "How to get rich by stealing " "How to build libraries without paying for 'em " "How to bunko young men with advice" "How I'm a reformer for revenue only" The truth is that the remedy for our social ills is in the hands of the latter's victims. If all the people who kick against the present system and two-thirds are kicking against it would get together, start a propaganda and ram it down the throats of the minority that controls things, it would be a matter of not centuries but months when things would be whirled round hind side before with such dizzy velocity that the minority would fly clear off the bar and be sent spinning into oblivion. But people won't do anything. Why? Because they are too supine, too selish, too afraid. "What good will it do you to take this matter up," some one asked the writer. Possibly none. In fact none at all. But nonetheless here is one protest registered. The writer doesn't believe that any town needs a street bad enough to justify robbing an old man of the product of a life-time of labor.

CATHOLIC BAZAAR PROVES A SUCCESS Large Crowds at Opening Night in New School Building.

The opening last evening of the ba zaar which is to be conducted for the next ten days by the ladies of St. Andrews' Catholic church in the " new high school building of St. Andrew's parish, was a brilliant success and attended by crowds. This is one of the largest and most extensive affairs of its sort ever held in this city and will no doubt attract attention not only from the members of this congregation but the public at large. The auditorium, which is a beautiful and commodious apartment, and which has all the facilities of a small theater. Is the scene of the major portion of the bazaar's activities, the walls being lined with the beautiful ly arranged booths. One of the most effective of the latter is that devoted to the linens, which has decorations of white, with white and yellow chrysanthemums and which contains among other articles a handsome bed-room set embroidered by the Sisters and other exquisite pieces of convent embroidery. Another interesting booth is that where prayer-books are sold and other articles of devotion, the booth ornamented with white and lavendar and presenting an attractive appearance. In a row of smaller booths on another side of the exhibition room are to be found fancy aprons, hand embroidered linens and other articles of a kindred character while two candy booths, one in yellow and another in pink, where both home-made and other candles are on display, were the mecca of large numbers last night. A "Midway," in which there are numerous features peculiar to attractions of this character, is full of entertainment and diversion and there is a fishpond for the children. "Babyland" is a charming blue and white booth where all sorts of dolls are displayed and there is a rustic well where punch and lemonade is dispensed. The dining-room below is arranged as a "German Village" with those in charge costumed appropriately, the men wearing the old wooden-shoes, and here are sold eatables of all sorts. One of the popular places is the "country store" conducted by the members of the Y. M. I. with Father Edward J. Bauer in general charge, and here are found all sorts of food products. There are also cut flowers on sale, in another booth. The bazaar will be open each night and on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons of this and next week and a Thanksgiving dinner will be served on Thanksgiving day, arrangements having been made to accommodate 200 at one time. GREEHSF(M PROBE Grand Jury Still Investigating Alleged Blind Tigers. Investigation of the Greensfork fire and alleged bootlegging in that town was continued today by the Wayne County October grand jury. Several new witneses were subpoenaed today and several others who have testified before were recalled. It is not known when the work of the grand Jury will be concluded. L. A. Willis, the Greensfork druggist who failed to obey the subpoena served upon him by Sheriff Steen, to appear before the grand jury, in con nection with the Greensfork cases, has not been located. Willis left Greensfork the morning after the day he was ordered to appear. PETITION IS POPULAR The petition for shorter hours is being circulated .among the high school students. More than 200 students have already signed the petition. No one who has had the opportunity to sign has objected to the petition as yet. The students are very anxious to shorten the school cession as they believe they can do their work justice in a shorter time. Announcements concerning the petition will bo made in the high, school chapel tomorrow morning providing permission is given by Principal I. E. Neff. The peUUon has not been circulated among 'the teachers as yet, though some have signified their desire for the short session. DANCED ON ONE LEG Henry Schultx was fined $1 and costs in police court this morning for begging. Schults has only one leg and moves about with the aid of a crutch and a cane. He was going from store to store on Main street, saying he had permission from the police department to ask for subscriptions from the merchants to purchase a wooden leg, Complaint was made to the police headquarters that he had been using the money to buy liquor. Mayor Zimmerman told him he would be 6ent to the county jail for 144 days. When he later heard that he was only going to jail for 11 dayB he forgot his infirmity and danced for Joy. OUR NEIGHBORS. There is an idea abroad among moral people that they must make their neighbors good. One person I have to make good myself. But my duty to my neighbor is much more nearly expressed by the saying that I have to make him happy i I may."-Stevenson.

EGGS TAKE JUMP Forty Cents a Dozen Was Quotation Today.

Eggs are a luxury these days. At forty cents a dozen few housewives serve them for a breakfast dish or use I them in the preparation of other food j stuffs. j The price of eggs took a jump here t following the announcement last week that they were selling in New York for seventy-two cents a dozen, the highest price ever paid for them in that city. Dealers do not know to what to attribute the increase. Usually at this season eggs advance, but never before have they gone to forty cents, a rrice that is indicative of mid winter. It has been known here that egg brokers were trying to corner the market for some time. It was reported in Richmond last month by a person conversant with the situation that this was being done, and he prophesied that eggs would be not only a luxury but also so prohibitive in price that they would be regarded a curio before the winter was over. CHARITY JOARD MET Reports on Institutions Filed and' Discussed. Members of the board of county charities, whose business it is to investigate and report the conditions of all charitable and corrective institutions in Wayne county, was engaged yesterday and today making ready reports which were presented to the board this afternoon. The board is composed of B. F. Wissler, of Cambridge City, Elenora Robinson, Anna Beeson, Katherine Callaway, W. H. Doney and Joseph Commons. An inspection of the Reid Memorial hospital, the city jail the county jail and the home of the Friendless was made by various members of the board. Reports on their condition were submitted to the board this afternoon in a session at the court house. A copy of the report is to be filed with the state board of charities at Indianapolis. EARLHAM GRADUATES COMING FOR GAME r Big Crowd Expected at the Quaker-Methodist Con- ' test Next Saturday; i, About 150 Earlham alumni will return to the city Saturday to attend alumni day and witness the football game between Earlham and Depauw. Requests for entertainment in the dormitories have already been made for almost 100 visitors and It Is expected that this number will be almost doubled by the end of the week. Never before has so much Interest been taken by the former students in an Earlham football game. Rivalry between the two institutions In oratory and athletics is almost as. old as the history of the', two colleges and every time the two schools meet in ank kind of a contest all the old students and graduates show as much interest as the present students. "Beat Depauw" has always been the slogan of every Earlhamite and from present indications there will be a united effor to carry It out Saturday. The game will decide the second place in the race for the state championship among the secondary colleges since Wabash has won from both Depauw and Earlham and Is conceded first place. Last year Earlham won by a score of 10 to 0 at Greencastle but the year before Depauw downed the Quakers 18 to 12 on the local ield. PRESS CLUB NAMES LIST OF DELEGATES At a meeting of the Earlham Press club the delegates to the Indiana Intercollegiate Press association which is to be held at Hanover college, Dec. 6-7, were elected. Blair Converse, of Richmond, was the only under clasman elected, the other two delegates being William Sanders, president of the club, and Floyd R. Murray, both seniors. There is a movement on foot now to have it held in Indianapolis each year where it can be arranged for by a general executive committee. Feminine Esteem. When women like each other they kiss; when they love they do one another's hair. Lady Evans.

THE GOOD PHY3ICIAN'S METHOD It is a small wonder that physicians prescribe an alterative (blood purifier) for so many afflictions, since the blood is so intimately related with every function of the human body. Poisoned, or impure blood, aside from such manifestations as syphilis, catarrh. Inflammatory rheumatism, pimples, boils, sores, muddy complexion, etc., effects the appetite, the digestion and the whole human organism. The most powerful and effective alterative known is Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound, discovered by a famous physician of Indiana and used in his practice more than forty years ago. It has never failed to cure the most dreadful form of ail poisoned blood (syphilis) and has of course readily conquered all the lesser blood diseases. Nothing has ever equalled it for giving a clear, healthy complexion. It is sold at $1.00 per bottle at ail drug stores. (A4vsrtlsmAi

ROAD MAINTENANCE WILL BE DISCOSSED County Commissioners and Road Supervisors to Meet Here Saturday.

"Better roads for Wayne county." Through the persistent use of the above slogan the board of county commissioners expects to bring about great results. To this end an organization is to be formed in this county at a meeting to be held at the court house Saturday afternoon. Letters have been sent to county road superintendents, road supervisors, the township trustees, and members of the Commercial club, asking them to attend the meeting which is to be held at, 2 o'clock, it is the idea of the commissioners to form a permanent good roads organisation and to determine upon a more uniform policy of road maintenance. This is the first time in the history of the county that the problem of conserving public highways has been appreached with the purpose of arriving, at a solution that will give farmers good roads and at the same time protect the Interests of the taxpayer. Robert Beeson. president of ' the board of commissioners, will explain the method which he has used with success in his district. He had operated on the principle that county roads lack proper drainage of surface water. With this in view he has rounded oft all roads under his supervision so that they slope from the middle to the sides. This plan, according to persons who have seen the roads," gives a smooth surface and prevents the making of ruts by teams following la the path" that has been cut by wheels and the hoofs of horses. All Requisites Here. County Auditor Bowman ' declared today, in speaking of the meeting, that Wayne county should have the best roads of any county in this state. "There is more gravel in Wayne county than in any county In Indiana and it Is easy to get to," the auditor said. "The gravel is distributed over the county and it requires '.but little hauling." It is likely that the proposed organization here will take part in the attempt to have the 1)13 legislature change the road tax law. Some declare that not only the railroads cheat the county on road improvements, but that a large number of farmers, , who pay their tax in gravel hauling also do so. The plan to have the law changed, so that all work will be paid for by the state, may be suggested at the Saturday meeting. It is expected that there will be a large attendance at the meeting. There are forty-eight road supervisors, who are elected by the people in their respective districts and forty-eight road superintendents, appointed by fne board of county commissioners. The supervisors oversee the improvements on the township roads and the superintendents on the county ' free turnpikes. DEATH RECORD (Palladium Special) CAMBRIDGE CITV, Ind Not. 19.
