VERDICT RETURNED - AGAINST HOSPITAL

Jury Places Value of thi Kempton Farm at $180 Per Acre. MAY GIVE UP PLAN Dr. S. E. Smith Says Institution May Abandon the Colony Idea. As a result of the verdict being returned in favor of the defendants in the condemnation proceedings of the state against the property of John and Clara Kernpton, the colony plan as advocated for this locality may be given up, according to the authorities of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for Insane. "So definite decision has been taken by the authorities, as yet. The case may be appealed and possibly market value of the farm as set by the jury may be paid. However, the entire plan may be given up" Bald Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent of the institution. The trial was opened Monday and the case went to the jury at 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon and a verdict was not reached until 8:30 this morning. The property of the Kemptons was appraised by three men appointed by the court last year, the value of the property being set at $170 per acre. The jury decided in favor Of the Kemptons believing that the property was worth $180 per acre, making the total value of the farm, with all Improvements $27,000. As a result of the trial witnesses who testified in behalf of the defense will be compelled to pay a higher tax than they have done in-former years, according to County Assessor Matthews. The testimony of some of the witnesses showed that their farms were valued at more than three times the assessed valuation. It was proposed by Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent of Easthaven, to use a portion of the $100,000 appropriated for How To Conquer Rheumatism at Your Own Home If you or any Of your friends suffer from rheumatism, kidney disorders or excess of urio acid, causing lameness, backache, muscular pains, stiff, painful, swollen joints, pain in the limbs and feet; dimness of sight, itching skin or frequent neuralgic pains, I invite you to send for a generous Free Trial Treatment of my well known, reliable Chronlcure, with references itnd full particulars by mail.

IERS TO BOILO NEW PLANT Electric Lighting System Proposed For County Infirmary. At a meeting of the Wayne county commissioners with several members of the county council the proposition of making an appropriation of $1,800 for a new lighting system at the Wayne County Infirmary was discussed. It is proposed by the commissioners to install an electric lighting system at the institution to take the place of the system of kerosene lamp lighting now in vogue. The committee from the county i board of charities condemned the present system and recommended that a new one be installed. At the January session of the commissioners the proposition was favorably considered by the commissioners though the council refused to make the appropriation. The members of both bordies present today conferred with Supt. Xeuton Brumfield and decided favorably toward the action. At the next regular session of the council itMvill probably be decided to appropriate the money for the improvement. the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the purchase of land where the inmates of the hospital could be given employment on a farm. Their minds would be greatly improved, it is believed by Dr. Smith. The plan would not only be beneficial to the irfmates but would help the institution financially. Property has already been purchased though it was planned to use the Kempton property also. Dr. Smith believes the jury would have been justified in returning a verdict in favor of the state alleging that $170 was a reasonable and fair price. Dr. Smith has not decided what action will be taken. U. S. TO RECOGNIZE CHINESE REPUBLIC (National News Association) WASHINGTON, March 22.

RETURNS MONEY AT POINT OF REVOLVER Gypsy Maiden Robbed Chas. Berg of $2.75 While Telling Fortune. Enraged because their friend, Charles Berg, had been robbed of a pocketbook containing $2.75, a large number of farmers living near Williamsburg this afternoon surrounded the band of gypsies, which is believed to be responsible for the abduction of Catherine Winters, the New Castle girl, and at the point of revolvers, forced the nomads to return the purse and money. Berg, it is said, was approached this morning by a beautiful young woman, a member of the gypsy band, and was asked if he wanted his fortune told. Berg consented to allow the gypsy maiden to tell his "fortune" and when he left he missed his pocketbook. He informed his friends of the matter and immediately a crowd of angry farmers started towards the gypsy camp. Revolvers and clubs were wared by the farmers and the head of the band finally admitted that he had the money. The city and county authorities were notified of the theft and Sheriff Bayer and Patrolman Vogelsong were detailed to the scene. When they arrived they found the gypsy chief in the act of returning the money to Berg. The local authorities declare that if any more acts of this nature are reported that the entire band will be arrested and lodged In jail.

T. P. A. Notes BY W. H. Q. Well what do you thing of the latest from St. Louis? The following comes via T. S. Logan: "Indiana has 6,100 members. Missouri only 44 in the lead. Get busy for the sake of old Indiana Dlvison and let me pass Missouri this week." Schuyler we hear you calling and Post C.'s workers headed by Elmer E. Lebo will hit the trail Saturday and they don't expect o stop until at least twenty-five scalps are hanging to their belts. Saturday, March 22nd, seemB to bid fair to be a busy day in Post C circles. The membership committee composed of Lebo, Harrington, Quigg, Browne, Hiehlv. Lewis and nnRslhlv nthra arartea ror tne occasion, win be very busy. "Shorty" Shreeve and the gang of cooks under him will have their hands full making sandwiches, "bilin" eggs, making punch, ice cream, cake and the goodness knows what else for the hungry horde that will be in evidence on Saturday night. From all we can learn the kitchen mechanics of Post C are going to do themselves proud. Then that election is on hands. What beautiful races are in evidence. Between Browne and Freeman for first place the most exciting

condition exists. The friends of both are setting forth many good reasons why their candidates ehotild be elected., This race will be a neck and neck affair to the finish. For vice presi-

dent, "not so much excitement exists, j for cn account of the most healthy and attentive presidents we have had, the vice president hardly ever knows he is the lnourabv.until some one reminds him., For secretary-treasurer the only saiaried job in the list, the race .seems to be a friendly bout. MarcuB says possession is nine points in hra favor. Your press chairman from modesty can only say he hopes both will win. For directors, the men behind the guns, some mighty good timber Is in evidence to select from. Voters will be very apt to choose as they are best acquainted and no mistake can be mafte. For national delegates well this is where the candi dates are burning basoline. They all want it and want it bad. Richmond, Va, is a most desirable place to go to so each candidate thinks. Well boys, we will know tonight who of you goes and who stays at home. You are all good fellows, but we can't vote for but three of you. Post C.'a membership takes pleasure In welcoming D. S. Coe as 6ne of our members. Come up and see us often, Demas.
