FIRE AT NEW PARIS NEW PARIS, O.. Sept. 17. A midnight fire alarm Monday aroused the citizens of New Paris, and it was found that the warehouse of J. M. Harriett was on fire. Small damage was done, as the blaze was all on the roof, and evidently had caught fire from a passing train. A drizzling rain aided the fire company in extinguishing the blaze, and made further outbreak of the flames impossible. L PAYS WELL A sixty-five cent check was received this morning by Trustee James Howarth from State Fire Marshal Longley. The money was for services ren-1 dered by the trustee in investigating 1 the cause of a fire which occurred southwest of this city at one of the barns owned by Earlham college. All fires in Wayne township outside of the corporations must be investigated by the trustee if there is anything mys terious or doubtful as to its origin. The barn had been struck by lightning according to the report of the trustee. This is the first sum to be received by a local official for a service of this i kind. The law requiring the inspection of mysterious fires was enacted by the last legislature. ON RAILROAD ROW R. L.

The widest street Richmond avenue, curb to curb, 62 feet. The narrowest city street Green street, 30 feet, Including sidewalk space. The widest sidewalk space North Tenth street, 18 feet. The oldest city street known Main street. The above information was taken from the office of the city engineer, who is supposed to have every bit of information about sewers, streets and alleys, at his finger tips. Clerks In tthe engineer's office have compiled data on every street, sewer and alley in the city. UNCOVER DEFECTS IN GARBAGE PLAN Believing that city trash gatherers would be forced to take up part of the garbage, under the plan submitted to the board of works, by R. E. Roberts of Newark, O., the mayor refused to award Roberts a contract. Other members of the board asked Roberts to submit a bid by which the city would pay for collecting the garbage, rather than the residents. Mr. Roberts says the plan works successfully in Newark and other cities. He and others form a garbage collecting company which contracts with cities to remove without cost to the corporation, all the garbage and dispose of it to farmers and hog raisers. The company places ten gallon airtight metal cans at each house. Once a week, these are collected, emptied and sterilized. The cost to the resident is 10 cents a week, and no resij dent would be given a garbage can who is more than four weeks in arrears in payment. The contents of the cans are taken to farms, the farmers contracting for any number of cans of garbage. The garbage is thrown and spread on the fields. Mr. Roberts says that this forms the best fertilizer obtainable and is excellent food for hogs. He claims that "valley" crops can be grown on hillsides with the garbage as fertilizer. It would be necessary to put out 2,000 cans In Richmond. In case of restaurants, groceries and commission houses, special provisions would be made and special rates would be given. The plan would save the city $9,000 a year, it is said. However, the officials say Roberts could collect $10,400 annually and this price was too great to consider by the city and, Roberts was asked to appear at the board meeting Thursday with his best price to the city. PANHANDLE HEADS ON INSPECTION TRIP Making the regular fall inspection of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, General Manager Benjamin McKeen and General Superintendent I. E. McCarthy, with their staffs, including Mr. Cushion, of the mechanical department, were here on a special train last evening.

General Manager McKeen and Superintendent McCarthy ride at the head of the train in an open observation car. They are pleased with the condition of the lines, and report the damage done by the flood last spring has been entirely repaired. CHILD IS TAKEN TO WHITE'S INSTITUTE Five-year-old Lulu Griffy was taken to White's Institute by Mrs. Candler yesterday. For nine months the child has been the special ward in the home of Patrolman Vogelsong. Mr. and Mrs. Vogelsong were fond of the child and wished to keep her, but felt that for her good she should be taken to the Institute. Although her parents are separated they could not wholly give up the child, and Patrolman Vogelsong, thinking that trouble might arise in the future, requested her admission to the Institute. CAMENETTI IS FINED SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 17 Morrey I. Diggs "was today sentenced to two years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $2,000, and Drew Camennetti was given eighteen months in prison and a fine of $1,500, following their conviction for violation of the federal white slave law.

QUARANTINING DOGS IS NOT NECESSARY Quarantining of dogs in Boston township will not be necessary, according to Sheriff Bayer, who made a thorough examination of conditions there yesterday afternoon.

FRIENDS TO CONSIDER

MEXICAN MISSIONS Indiana Yearly Meeting Will Discuss Work of Its Missionaries. With the Indiana Yearly meeting 1 only a few weeks off, local Friends are watching with interest the proceedings of the Western Yearly meeting now in session at Plalnfleld. Delegates to the annual meeting at Plalnfleld now come from meetings at Bloomingdale, Blue River, Carmel, Chicago, Danville, Plainfleld, Kokomo. New London. Fairfield, Pleasant Grove, Sand Creek, Thorntown, Vermillion, Westfleld, Wst Grove and White Lick. These sixteen quarter lies have a total membership of nearly sixteen thousand. The Irst session held here was known as the meeting of ministry and oversight, and was a sort of preliminary to the meeting proper, which will begin at 10 o'clock tomorrow. Until a few years ago the sessions on ministry and oversight were held in private, only the elders, overseers and ministers, who constitute its membership, being admitted, and It was against the rules to divulge any of the proceedings; hence the name of "select" meeting was given it. There is still an air of privacy about it, but any one may attend. Prof. Elbert Russell and Prof. Murray Kenworthy, of Karlham College, are attending the meeting. Interest In Mexico. A report relative to foreign mission work in Mexico will be among the many presented to Indiana Yearly meeting when It convenes here, September 24. It is deemed probable that several of the Friends' missionaries, who have been in charge of the society's schools and churches, will be in attendance. The Friends are pioneers in the mission work in Mexico, and Indiana Yearly meeting in particular has done great service there. The Mexican work, like that in all other foreign fields, is now in the charge of the American Friends' board of foreign missions, though Indiana Yearly meeting, because of its long control of the work there, takes more than the usual interest in this particular field. During the period of the long drawn out rebellion and especially during the uprising following the seating of Huerta as provisional president, the missionaries of the Friends were much disturbed and no class of Americans who have interests in Mexico would welcome peace more than the Friends themselves. President Wilson's, determination to prevent intervention on the part of the United States and his entire peace program in this respect most likely will come in for some share of attention by the Friends at the approaching session, for the subject of peace always plays a conspicuous part in the annual deliberations and the opportunity to commend the president on his pronounced stand against those who would see the country plunged into war with the little republic probably will hot be overlooked. SOCIALIST ORATOR TO SPEAK HERE Socialists of the city are planning a large open air meeting for Thursday evening at the corner of Ninth and Main streets. The speaker will be Mr. Bessemer, who Is driving a horse and buggy from St. Louis to his home in Cleveland. He is accompanied by his wife. The meeting will open at 8 o'clock.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR HAIR BEAUTIFUL Ten Minutes' Home Treatment Works Wonders, Stops Falling Hair, Itching Scalp .and .Dandruff .and Makes the Hair Soft, Brilliant, Lustrous and Fluffy. Better than all the so-called "hair tonics" in the world is a simple old fashioned home recipe consisting of plain Bay Rum, Lavona (de composee) and a little Menthol Crystals. These three mixed at home in a few minutes, work wonders with any scalp. Try it just one night and see. Get from your druggist 2 oz. Lavona, 6 oz. Bay Rum and Vz dr. Menthol Crystals. Dissolve the Crystals in the Bay Rum and pour in an 8 oz. bottle. Then add the Lavona, shake well and let it stand for an hour before using. Apply it by putting a little of the mixture on a soft cloth. Draw this cloth slowly through the hair, taking just one small strand at a time. This cleanses the hair and scalp of dirt, dust and excessive oil and makes the hair delightfully soft, lustrous and fluffy. To stop the hair from falling and to make it grow again rub the lotion briskly into the scalp with the finger tips or a medium stiff brush. Apply night and morning. A few days' use and you cannot find a single loose or straggling hair. They will be locked on your scalp as tight as a vise. Dandruff will disappear and itching cease. In ten days you will find fine downy new hairs sprouting up all over your scalp and this new hair will grow with wonderful rapidity. Any druggist can sell you the above. The prescription is very inexpensive and we know of. nothing so effective and certain in its result. (Advertisement)

DOES HEJEED CASH? Rightful Owner of Purse Fails to Redeem It.

Is there some man in this city who has lost a purse containing a considerable sum of money and fears to reclaim it? On September 8, Oscar Burk. the 12-year-old son of J. F. Burk. resid ing at 528 North Twenty-second siren, found a pocketbook containing a tidy sum of money. The father carried advertisements in Richmond papers, but, as yet, the owner has not been located. Since the advertisement has been appearing. Mr. Burk has discovered that there are any number of persons in the city who have lost purses. Scarcely a day has passed that he has not had a caller searching fnr a mira. that he had lost. The amounts the claimants asserted their lost pocketbooks contained ran from f 1.25 to $77. Mr. Burk has almost hppn fnrrrt m the conclusion that the owner does not want his money, but would rather lose it than appear and identify the pocketbook.

COMMISSIONER IS REGULAR DETECTIVE After flushing a sewer in the first alley south of Main street, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets. Street Commissioner Genn discovered why the cellars of the residents of those streets were filled with water during the rainy weather. Some resident had tapped the city sewer with his sewer and blocked the passage of water from above, Genn says. The city sewer was believed to be ample to carry away all water. The street commissioner believed it was clogged. It was flushed several times with no better results. Ordering the sewer dug up at the point where the trouble appeared to be, he found that the city sewer tile had been cut into and a houseowner had placed a drain tile completely across the sewer, allowing only a small amount of water to pass the place. The city repaired the tap at a cost of about $35. LUNCH AX
