INJUNCTION SUIT JS VENUED HEBE Jay County Case Involving the Drilling of Oil Will Be Heard Here.

An Injunction suit which was first instituted in Jay circuit court then taken to the Randolph circuit court was filed in the Wayne circuit court this morning on change of venue. The complaint is that of Jacob Bonifas versus Homer Pontius, et al, alleging that the defendants have hauled heavy wagons loaded with crushed stone and building material on the plaintiff's land and have threatened to erect a large building on the plaintiff's land and to install machinery to pump oil from that land and that owned by others i.n Jay county. The purpose of the defendents according to the complaint is to drill qil wells on his land and to pipe the oil from the wells to the proposed building. A temporary injunctirrh was granted by Judge J. Moran of the Jay circuit court and the case was thon venued to the Randolph court. After some discussion a change of venue to the Wayne circuit court was asked and granted, by Judge James E. Engle. The plaintiff asks damages to the amount of $1,000 and that a permanent injunction be ordered. ' The removal of the interurban tracks from Glen Miller park and a discussion as to the justice of opening South Seventh street from J to L street were the only matters taken up by the board of public works this morning. Mayor Zimmerman stated that he would have the tracks removed from the Glen during this administration, and ordered City Attorney Gardner to notify the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company that as soon as the "turn out" at the corner of North Twentieth and E streets was completed the company should keep its cars out of the Glen, and that the tracks should be removed as soon as possible. It is hoped by the city officials that the company and people of Richmond will be satisfied with this decision. In behalf of their own interests Harmon Swicker and his wife appeared befort the board to induce them, either to give them a larger sum of money for their ground, condemned for the opening of the street, or to put the street through at this time. Today was the date set for the final assessment hearing and remonstrances were in order. Fifteen other residents of the neighborhood of the proposed street were present to indorse the movement to have the street put through. Julius Karcher, one of the signers of the petition for the street, wrote a communication to the board stating that he did not know of the hardship it would be for Swicker and asked that his name be taken from the list of signers. Asks For Justice. Swicker does not believe the board is treating him fairly by giving him only $1.5)00 tor the land which is 597 feet long and 46 feet wide. He is assessed $200 benefits for the opening Of the street. "I would not accept $1,600 for the land as a real estate deal and would consider that $2,000 was not too large a sum for the city to pay me If the street is run through the property. At the present allowance for my ground I will have to pay all the money received for the ground to make the street, "and then mortgage my home for $1,000 besides. I will also have to lose my fruit trees and move my barn,' explained Swicker. "I do not ask charity nor do I want pity. What I am here for is justice and that I demand. If I cannot obtain it here I will take it to a higher court." In Swicker's behalf B. B. Johnson spoke to the board and declared that while he 'was a member of the board of works the same question of opening thl8 street came up. At that time the administration decided that it would be unfair to the propery holders to make an assessment large enough to pay for this Improvement and the benefit to the city was not large enough to grant that the city pay the amount which would be lacking if the money were not raised by assessment. "People who are receiving a great benefit by the opening of this street live south of the city and are not within the city limits and cannot be assessed. If they want the improvement let them help pay for it. Mr. Swicker has always been a progressive citizen and was the first president of the South Side Improvement association. He never was against improvements and he should be given consideration by the board. To Decide December 23. Mayor Zimmerman told the remonstrators and others interested in the opening of the street that the members of the board of works were in favor of the opening of the street and It will be opened as soon as the board deemed advisable. "We will not decide definitely what we will do until December 23, at which time we will make our decision public. We will go over the ground again and if we have made too large an assessment on Swicker's property we will adjust the matter." Councilman Von Pein told the members of the board that he was in favor of opening the street and it was the belief of the neighbors that Swicker was nota poor man. as he claimed .0 be, and that the opening of the .-M-ert would greatly Increase the val;k of his property and be a help rathr than a set back to him. Asks For Change. A request was made to the board !iy one of the teamsters employed by the city that the teamsters not only be allowed to furnish their own horses and chassis of their wagons but that they also be made to furnish

bodies for their wagons. The city now furnishes the bodies of the wagons. According to the members of the board if the city makes this provision the teamsters would think they were permanently employed by the city. An ordinance will be drawn up at the suggestion of City Engineer Charles prohibiting the use of slat wagons on the public highways. This form of wagon according ot the city engineer scatters rubbish through out the city and should be prohibited. A resolution for the improvement of South West D street by improving the roadway and cement, curb and gutters and making sidewalks on both sides of the street was presented. The proposed improvement will extend from the college campus to South West Second street. This will probably be .one of the improvements for 1913.

A MEETING WITH TURNER.

The Artist Simply Enraged the Mmn Who Longed to See Him. A printshop In London, kept by a man who thoroughly understood and appreciated the wares in which he dealt, once displayed in its window a tine but much stained and damaged engraving one of a set from Turner' pictures. Turner chanced to pass and notice it and promptly bounced into the shop and began to abuse the dealer. "It's a confounded shame to treat an engraving like that:" be blustered. "What can you be thinking about to go and destroy n good tiling? For it is a good thing, mind you!" "I destroy it!" responded the denier h')t!y. "What do you mean by saying I destroyed it? And who the mischief are you. 1 should like to know? You d.n't look as if you could understand a good print when you see one. I destroy it! Bless my heart. 1 bought it just as it is, and I would rather.keep it (ill doomsday than sell it to you! And why you should put yourself out al-iit it I can't think!" "Why. I did it!" said Turner. "Did what? Did you spoil it? If you did you deserve" "No. no, man; my name's Turner, and 1 did the drawing and engraved the plate from it." "Bless my heart!" ejaculated the print seller in a changed tone. "Is it possible you are the great Turner?" Then his temper rose again. "Well, sir." he added, "I have long desired to see you. and now that I have seen you I hope I shall never see you again, for a more disagreeable person I have seldom met."

Professor Arthur Charles, head of the German department of Earlham college, attended the meeting ot the local branch of the German alliance yesterday afternoon, and in a speech told the members that he believed the German club of Earlham would affiliate with the state alliance. The alliance voted to devote part of the money cleared recently at a German program to the German department of the state university at Bloomington. j A committee was appointed yester- ' day to perfect arrangements for the Wagner memorial celebration which will be held some time next year. Wagner is considered the greatest of . the German tone artists. A concert of Wagnerian works probably will be ' given here. The alliance will extend a call to all educational clubs of the city to observe the day commemorating the centennial of the birth of this composer.

"Corn Culture" will be the subject of the address to be delivered by J s. Helms before the Franklin county corn show to be held Jajiuary 3 at Bath, Ind. Mr. Helms will explain "the various samples of corn which will be on display at the show. Mr. Helms will go to Purdue January 6 where he will score the corn on exhibit at the short course to be held at the University. Mr. Helms will be there for two weeks. He will score the corn during the first week, there being eighteen bushels of corn and he being obliged to grade each ear. The second week Mr. Helms will explain the scoring of the corn to the students of the short course.

TAKING A CAMERA ABROAD.

ODD USES OF WHALEBONE. Wigs Are Made of It, and It Stiffen High Grade Silks. The notion is popularly held that whalebone is derived from whales' ribs, although many persons believe that it comes from the tail of the big mammal. Both notions are incorrect. The function of whalebone in the life of the whale Is of the utmost importance. The inner edges of the whalebone plates are frayed into innumerable hairlike processes, and the whoie forms a sort of sieve whereby the whale may sift out its food from the sea water. It must be remembered that the food of this gigantic creature consists chiefly of minute organisms. Crustacea, mollusea. etc., floating near the surface. When the whale opens its mouth and moves along a great multitude of these minute forms of life find their way in. Then the whale closes its mouth, and the water Is strained out through the whalebone sieve, and the food is retained. The common uses of whalebone are known to everybody. It is. however, put to two uses not generally known even in England, where the fine internal fringes mentioned are employed in nnl making of barristers' wigs. By reason laf their lightness they retain the curl better than does ordinary hair. Fine whalebone threads are also sometimes employed to stiffen the tissue in high grade silks. Harper's Weekly.

A Source of Pleasure That May Win Fine and Imprisonment. If the American tourist carries his camera to Europe with him he must be careful to avoid photographing persons, private property and particular- ; ly government buildings, forts, docks 1 and ships without permission. Many j

tourists have got themselves into much trouble Id this way. especially in Russia, where the restrictions are unusually rigid, and in Germany also. A few years ago Germauy passed a special bill through the reichstag dealing with this matter and Imposing heavy penalties upon those who In

fringe the regulations. Damages to '

the amount of $1,500, with a fine of $250 or two months' Imprisonment, will be the fate of any one who snapshots a private person, a work of art or the interior of a private building and circulates or publishes the picture without permission. Persons in the public eye. such as members of the royal family, statesmen, actors and well known divines are excepted, says a writer in Country Life In America. So. too. are public buildings and works of art in public galleries. In Italy the camera of the tourist is made a means of providing revenue for that somewhat impoverished country. If you carry your camera when on a visit to Pompeii or others of the recently excavated rnins you may take as many photographs as yon please, but you are forced to pay a small fee for each plate exposed.

Blotting Sand In the Senatc'and Quill Pens In the Supreme Court. Oddly enough, though blotting paper has elsewhere displaced all other forms of drying ink and is extensively used in the senate by the senators as they write on their desks, the blotting paper being attached to a device with a handle to it and hung by a string from the desk, the old type of drying ink by means of snnd still is permitted to such as care to use it. The desk of every senator has a sand duster or pounce box. resting in a hole in the top of the desk, looking like un inkwell. The box resembles a pepper shaker, 'and they are used, for many of the old senators prefer to pour sand ou their ink rather than blot it. The supreme court also holds fast to some practices almost out of use today In front of the rostrum on which the justices sit and in the space reserved for members of the bar are hvo long tables for the books and the sheepskins of the lawyers which may be needed by them as they present their cases to the court. On the tables are steel pens, blotters and bottles of iuk. but also to be had is a collection of newly cut quill pens, fashioned by one of the attendants of the court, and they are used, for many of the older practitioners prefer them to the steel pens of this day.

Otis Roberts, state insjector of feed and fertilizers, who has been making several investigations in this city, today, expressed himself highly in favor of the law passed by the ttate legislature iertaining measures and weight-:. Mr. Roberts said that he has been in-formt-d by Stute Chemist Barnard that the chemist did not have nough money to propt rly enforce this law as he would like to enforce it. 'One of the measures which ought to be abolished." said Roborts. "is the measure which has no bottom. Th's measure is placed in the bottom of th.1 baa and the article for sale is then poured into it. This form of measurement is all right for wheat, luans or any simila. product but when it comes tto potatoes the people are swindled when they buy them by th- pick." Potatoes should be weiched or measured in a larger measure the inspector believes. "The housewife who bus potatoes by the peck is a poor manager as she should receive fifteen pounds in a peck while she now only receUcs eleven pounds," said Roberts.

The fount de Tendilla. while besieged ! the Moors in the fortress of Ai hambra. was destitute of gold and sller wherewith to pay his soldiers, who bi--an to murmur, as they h.id uot the means of purchasing the necessaries of life fr-ui the peop'e of the town "In this dremm.n." says the historian, "what does this most sagacious commander?

'How.' you will -ay. 'are soldiers to be pal, I with setups of paper?" Even so. and well said. tt, ns I will presently make manifest, for the good count issued a proclamation ordering the inhabitants to take these morsels of paper for the ; full amount inscribed, promisinc to rej deem them at a future time with gold and silver. Thus by subtle and most miraculous alchemy did this cavalier , turn worthless paper into precious gold and silver and make bis late impoverished army abound In money." The historian adds. "The Count de Tendilla redeemed his promises like a loyal knight, and this miracle, as it appeared in the eyes of the worthy Agapida. is the first Instance on record of ; paper money."

LEGEND OF JERUSALEM. Charity of T Brothers Led to the Founding of the Temple. Once, so runs the legend, there llTed In far Judeau hills two affectionate brothers tilling a common farm together. One had a wife and a houseful of children; the other was a lonely man. One night in the harvest time the older brother said to his wife: "My brother is a lonely man. 1 will go out and move some of the sheaves from my side of the field over on his so that when he sees them in the morning bis heart will be cheered by the abundance." And be did. That same night the other brother said to his workmen: "My brother has a houseful and many mouths to fill. 1 am alone and do not need all this wealth. I will go and move some of my sheaves over on his field so that he shall rejoice in the moruing when he sees bow great is his store." And be did. And they did It that night and the next in the sheltering dark. But on the third night the moon came out as they met face to face, each with his arms filled with sheaves. On that spot, says the legend, was built the temple of Jerusalem, for it was esteemed that there earth came nearest heaven. Out look.

GETTING UP STEAM. A Young Engineer Answer to a Grufl and Persistent Examiner. A bright young fellow came up for the cadet engineers" examination at

i Annapolis one day. and the Judges asked blm the usual questions, wlilch I he answered readily enough nntil one gruff old fellow frowned at him and demanded: "How do you say you proceed to get ' up steam?"

The cadet glibly described the process of building the fires, testing the water in the boilers and all that. "And then?" snapped the examiner. The young fellow twisted bis cap in his hands and thought up a few more details. "And then?" rasped the examiner once more, pursing hi lips and looking as if something important bad been missed. The cadet did the best be could, slyly adding such details as that be would shut the furnace doors after putting the coal in. The moment be stopped the same old question burst out: "And then?" "And then," repeated the cadet alowly. raising his cap to bis breast and gazing at the ceiling, "and then I should look up to heaven and think I am ready to go home if the boiler front comes out" New York Sua.
