MARSHAL WAS ASKED TO RESIGN OFFICE Board Took Action Because Moore Was Intoxicated. It Is Said.

APPOINT NEW OFFICER After purchasing a new uniform, mace and handcuffs, George Moore, the Centerville terror to autoists, was asked to resign his official position because, it Is said, he was intoxicated. Moore was recently appointed by the town board of Centerville to act as custodian of the peace and to prosecute all violators of the town ordinance regulating the speed of automobiles within the corporation limits. Moore complied with the request of the board and offered his resignation. The reason for the action of the board was occasioned when Moore became Intoxicated, It Is alleged. One member of the town board said his conduct was unbecoming an officer of the law. The discharged officer has been unable, as yet, to dispose of the equipment which be purchased to fulfill the obligations of the office. He had only been appointed a few weeks ago and has not received enough wages to pay for the uniform which cost $40. The position pays $40 per month. Wto. Blue, another resident of Centerville, was appointed to act In the capacity of marshal, but as yet, has not been sworn Into office because of his failure to produce the proper bond. It la probable, however, that Blue will fill the position left vacant by the retiring official. ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT. (Palladium Special.) Announcement has been made of the commlng marriage of Misa Pearl Thornburg, daughter of Oliver Thornburg, a promlent farmer near Milton, to Earl William Caldwell, a young farmer living near Beeson's. They will be married Wednesday evening, September 3, at 7 o'clock. ALLEGES HIS SON : GAVE HIM BEATING Amos Showalter Files Affidavit Against Walter Showalter. ' Complaint was made by Amos Showalter, an aged man living on Railroad street, against Walter Showalter, his son, whom the elder Showalter Claims beat him almost to insensibility Sunday morning. The son was ordered to appear In police court this morning to answer his father's affidavit but failed to do so. Amos Showalter stated to the police that his son has abused him several times and that he now wants him prosecuted. When the young man was told of the charges by a patrolman, he promised to appear in police court this morning. He will be arrested when found, and placed in the city jail to await trial for the alleged brutal assault. i TAMED THE OLD SOLDIER. H Was Not "a Beggar," but Carman Sylva Became One, One day, walking in a hospital ward, the queen of Roumania came upon an .old soldier suffering from a compound .fracture of the leg and threatened with gangrene. He would not give consent to the surgeons to amputate. He feared that should be do so he ,would be classed among the beggars. "I am not a beggar," said the stout old soldier proudly. "I'll lose my life, but not my honor." " 'TIs true," said Carmen Sylva, "you are not a beggar, but I am." She threw herself on her knees at the bedside. "I have never prayed but to God." and. taking his hand, she added: "But I now supplicate you to listen to his wish and mine. Let your leg be taken off and spare yonr life to your family, your country and to me. and" "And. If I consent, what then?" t"What then!" she exclaimed Joyfully. "Why, I shall give you the most beautiful artificial leg that can be made in Europe, and when the war Is over you shall come and dance at the palace with your sons." "I, consent." he said softly, "but you must bold my hand during the operation." T. P.'s London Weekly. "JUMP, JUDY, JUMP!" Dancing In London In the Early Part of the Last Century. Lady Bell, writing in the Lovjdon Times regarding the modern dance, quotes extracts from "The Letter Bag of Lady Elizabeth Spencer Stanhope." The following passages are taken from a letter written in 1812: "Lady Elisabeth gave a very successful ball, where, for the first time in London, the polka was danced in public and people stood upon the chairs and root seats to watch it Mr. Theodore Hook declared that 'the obnoxious dance was calculated to lead to the most licentious consequences.' Subsequently the Sporting Magazine denounced the dance which, to the disgrace of sense and taste, has obtruded itself Into the whole circle of the fashionable world. a will corrupting dance. a compound of immodest gesture and infectious poison.' On the other band, I must also quote from the same work the admonition of an Irish lady of that period at a tall to ber daughter, who was not displaying enough spirit in her dancing: "Jump, Judy, Jump! The guardsmen are loekta or ' .

MRS

WW

ENDS HER LIFE The body of Mrs. Elizbeth Brown, 24, was found lying: on a bed in an upstairs room at the home of her father, William Leonard, 42 North Fifth street shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon. The woman had apparently committed suicide by shooting; herself through the heart. The body was cold when found. The police have found no one who heard the shot. A note addressed to Guy C. Hinson, 512 Main street, was found beside the body. She is survived by her father and mother and one daughter, Lucile, aged 8. She had recently secured a divorce. IS STILL UNCONSCIOUS Dublin Girl Injured Accident. in An While riding in a wagon near Mt. Auburn, about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, Miss Mary Champ, Miss Ethel McGath, Miss Doris Floyd and Miss Ethel Kinnaman were Injured when an automobile struck their vehicle. They Jumped to escape being hit by a heavy ice cream tub which fell from the wagon. In the wagon with them were Everett Floyd and Howard Kale. Miss Champ was the most seriously Injured, as she has not recovered consciousness. The entire party live at Dublin. ALLEN WILL ENTER LAB0RDAY RACES Other Professional Motorcycle Riders May Come Here. It Is now positively assured that Allen, a professional rider from Chicago, will enter the motorcycle races to be given September 1 at the driving park. Two Indianapolis riders will also enter, according to Baker, of Indianapolis, who was in the city Saturday. Baker stated that he cannot promise to enter the races himself, but will send two good men to this city to en ter and if possible to come himself. Elmer Smith, who has returned from a visit to the Excelsior Motorcycle factory in Chicago believes that the entrance of professional riders on the racing program will make the competition more keen. The local riders have an equal chance with the cyclists from other cities, and it is believed that new records will be established on Labor Day for every distance raced. Fans Bay that a new mile record of 56 seconds is a possibility on the track. Workmen are now engaged in banking the curves to a degree at which the riders can take them as fast as on a stretch. There are now twenty riders training for the races. LUXURY OF A TROPIC SEA. Bathing In January With the Water at 90 Degrees. Those who live in temperate and cold climates do not realize the effect of the sun's direct heat on the sea. The luxury of bathing in an ocean that has a temperature of 108 degrees, writes Mr. E. J. Banfleld in "My Tropic Isle." is not for the multitude who crowd the cities that the sun touches tremulously and aslant On Nov. 21. 1909, we bathed at MooJee. north Queensland, In shallow water, on the edge of an area of denuded coral reef fully two miles long by a mile broad. For three hours a considerable portion of the reef had been exposed to the glare of the sun. and the Incoming tide filched the stored up heat from coral and stones and sand. The first plunge provoked an exclamation of amazement, for the water was several degrees hotter than the air, and it was the hottest hour 3 o'clock In the afternoon of a very hot day. No thermometer was at hand to register the actual temperature of the water, but subsequent tests at the same spot under similar conditions proved that the surface stratum of about one foot was at 10S degrees F.. from four to six degrees hotter than the air. Beiow that the temperature of the water seemed ordinary and corresponded with that of the water a hundred yards from the shore. On another day. Jan. 10. 1910, between noon and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the sea. scientifically tested, was found heated to PO decrees. With the bulb buried in the sand six feet from the water's edge, the mercnry rose to 112 degrees very quickly and remained stationary. Constituent of Dust. Among the constituents of dust floating in the air are lead, silver, copper, rubidium, gallium, Indium, thallium, nickel, manganese, etc. Many of these can be traced to their sources in factory chimneys and flues. Dust from clouds, collected either by itself or In hail, snow, sleet or rain exhibits a regularity of composition not seen In other varieties of dust. Iron, nickel, calcium, copper, potassium and sodium always appear la It In about the same proportions. Some dust that fell some years ago near Dublin resembled meteorites In its composition, was attracted by a magnet and seemed, to be of eeamlc origin.

LONDON BOOTBLACKS. 8treet Corners Knew Them Early In the Eighteenth Century. Liquid blacking, such as la now used, was Invented early in the nineteenth century. Previously various mixtures were used. There are many allusions in eighteenth century literature to shoeblacks and blacking. In the London World of Jan. 31, 1754. Edward Moore, describing the miseries of an author, says thit he would rather have started in life as a shoeblack had he but had the money to buy or credit to procure "a stool, brush and blackball." An old kind of blacking consisted of ivory black, very cearsa moist sngar and water, with a little vinegar. A mixture of whale oil and soot was used in Gray's time. The author of "Trivia" has several allusions to the "black youth" who stood at street corners then as now: Hark! The boy calls the to hi desttn'd stand. And the shoe shines beneath his oily hand. Defoe makes his Colonel Jack describe himself when a boy as a dirty vagabond, "like a 'Black your shoes, your honor T a beggar boy. a blackguard boy or what you please, despicable and miserable to the last degree." Here is another quotation from "Trivia" (1715?): Ills treble voice resounds along the mews. And Whitehall echoes, "Clean your honor's shoes!" London Notes and Queries. FIRST SLOT MACHINE. It Was Invented by Hero of Alexandria About 125 B. C. Hero of Alexandria (about 125 B. C.) was an ingenious Inventor of mechanical toys. In his works, "Pneumatics" and "Automata," be describes some hundred small machines that ha probably never carried beyond the "model" stage. These included a steam engine and a deuble forcing pump to be used aa a fire enginei. Hero was also the inventor of the automatic delivery, or penny In the slot machine. He describes "a sacrificial vessel which flows only when money is introduced." When the coin Is dropped through the slit it falls on one end of a balanced horizontal lever, which being depressed, opens a valve suspended from a chain at the other end. and the water begins to flow. When the lever has been depressed to a certain angle the coin falls off and the valve, being weighted, returns to its seat and cuts off the supply. (The mechanism is practically identical with the present system. Baltimore Sun. A Peer and His Patent. After It is once Issued the patent tor the creation of a new peerage cannot be altered. Otherwise Lord Glerawly would be written Lord Glenawley. as Gerawly was written by a clerk in mistake for this word. Another interesting case of a similar nature is that of Charles Pawlet. afterward third Duke of Bolton, who died in 1754. In 1717. while his father, the second duke, was still alive. Pawlet was made a peer as Lord Pawlet of Basing, although the intention of the king and bis advisers was to summon him to the house of lords under one of his father s junior titles that of Baron St John of Basing. However, the writ of summons had been VAade out to Lord Pawlet of Basing, aad Pawlet bore this Ctle until he became Duke of Bolton in 1722. Westminster Gazette. RICHMOND PEOPLE GOOD DRESSERS

Very few cities In the United States can show as many well dressed people as Richmond, a large percent of them have their clothes made to order. There are two kinds of tailoring "high claes" and "cheap made" tailoring. "High Class" Tailoring holds perfect shape as long as the suit lasts. "Cheap Made" tailoring soon loses its shape and Is not worn by good dressers. We do "high class' tailoring the kind good dressers wear. You can tell a wearer of Emmons Tailoring it is classy and up-to-date. We make fine suits $15.00 to $30.00. Corner Main and Ninth Street. (Advertisement) . j

SCHOOL ADDITION

IS TO COST Cooking Department Necessitates Big Expenditure At Milton. The cooking outfit to be installed in the Milton school in accordance with the vocational training law recently enacted will cost $500 according to County Superintendent Williams who will go to Indianapolis with Washington Township Trustee Miller tomorrow to complete arrangements for the installation. The entire cooking department will be supplied with every modern appliance and will be white glazed. The cooking, agricultural and sewing departments which will be installed in the Milton school necessitate the expenditure of so large a sum of money that the town of Milton took advantage of the statute providing that towns of less than 1,500 can be treated as township schools. The school Is now controlled by the township authorities. The school tax in Milton last year was ninety-two cents per hundred dollars. This is unreasonable according to Supt. Williams. In the township the assessment was only thirty-two cents. In the towns of Fountain City, Greensfork, Williamsburg, Whitewater the vocational training law lill be put Into effect as soon as possible. In most of the schools where experiments are to be worked out the assembly rooms will be used and very few new additions to the schools will be necessary. The Milton school will be a model one in the courses of sewing and cooking. The model stock and agricultural school wHl be the one near Fountain City to be conducted by Prof. Pilcher. A Spasm of Eoonomy. In the early eighteenth century a wave of economy flooded Britain's civil service. The commissioners of customs, about 1722, were filled with ideas of economical reforms. They restricted their staff to so many reams of paper and a certain number of pens a year. And, more, they put their own house in order. They issued a self denying ordinance to the effect that they would in future buy their own breakfast coffee, pay their own coach hire and purchase their own books and pamphlets, except the "Book of Rates."

MERCURY DID NOT RISE ABOVE NINETY

The mercury did not rise above ninety degres last week nor lower than sixty-five, according to the official government record of the weather bureau for Richmond and vicinity. The maximum temperature was eighty-six and the average minimum temperature was sixty-eight. The record indicates that 1.5S Inches of rain fell during the week. TALKED TOO LOUD George W. Smith was fined $t and costs in police court this morning for public Intoxication. Smith was arrested at Third and North D streets Saturday night by Patrolman Wenger. He created a disturbance and attracted a number of persons by his loud talking. CALLED HIM A MAJOR. And a Major He Remained, For the Emperor's Word Had Passed. Emperor William I. of Germany prided himself upon the fact that his subjects considered his word as binding as the "laws' of the Medes and Persians." An amusing incident io Mrs. Hugh Fraser's "Reminiscences of a Diplomatist's Wife" shows that the people's confidence was not misplaced One day the emperor's adjutant. Count Seckendorff. presented au office! to him upon the latter's promotiou to major. "Congratulations, major." said the emperor. The oncer glanced at him au instant with an expression of astonishment and delight, then bowed and withdrew. Presently, to his dismay. Count Seckendorff discovered that the officer thus promoted was one of two brothers and that it was the other one. the elder, who had Just reached his majority. The younger brother, who had just been presented to the emperor, was only a captain. When he explained the mistake tn the emperor William I. replied: "Well, there's nothing to be done. "Major" I said, and major he must remain." Seckendorff came to him a few day later with the request that he might be allowed to present the real major, but the emperor shook his head. "No. no. my dear fellow." he answered, with a smile; "you don't catch me making the same mistake twice." It took some persuasion to induce him to receive the newly promoted officer.

A 30 Day Distribution of a Wonderful Work The RICHMOND PALLADIUM Has made an unusual arrangement with the publishers, limited to 30 days, whereby its readers can secure handsomely cloth bound copies of the

Printed on fine paper throughout and bound in fine cloth. 512 pages, 'size 9x12 inches, weight over 6 pounds, or as much as any ordinary six volume set of books. Over 5,000 Brady War Photographs Reproduced The greatest value ever known in the history of publishing. A Magnificent Collection in Colors of Great Battles Also Appears in the Work. THE BRADY WAR PHOTOGRAPHS are owned by the United States Government. They were taken "on the spot" by Mathew B. Brady and his assistants, by authority of President Lincoln, during the four long, weary years while the war was going on. The government paid $27,840 for the negatives alone. General Grant saw many of them taken and joined Generals Butler and Garfield in saying they were worth $150,000. This was years ago. They are worth far more today. Can you imagine anything more authentic to illustrate history? THE GOVERNMENT PAID $27,840 for these negatives, and they went into the archives of the War Department-; but the people of this country never saw them. They were not serving their great educational purpose. The War Memorial Association devised a plan whereby beautiful copies could reach the peonlp at a r.o?t so small as to Drove startling. The War
