FARMERS FAIL TO REGISTER NAMES Although a law was passed by the 1913 legislature permitting property Dwners to register the names of farms and estate with the county recorder, no Wayne county person has taken advantage of the right to have an exclusive name for his property. It is believed that this is owirg to the fact that no publicity was given the new law. The act provides that owners of farms can register names with the county recorder by the payment of a $1 fee. This gives the owner the exclusive use of the name, which can be bought, sold, traded or cancelled on payment of an additional twenty cents to the recorder. DAY NOT OBSERVRD IN FORMAL MANNER Riley day was r.ot observed in any formal manner in y of the Richmond schools, except possibly in a few of the classes where Riley poems were read. The school authorities were not notified in time to prepare a program for the schools, and so decided to allow the teachers to take any steps towards the observance of the Hoosier poet's birthday they deemed i suitable. WANTS HUSBAND DECLARED DEAD After her husband has been gone from here for more than nine years, Caroline Muhl, '315 South Eighth street, filed a complaint today in circuit court asking that George E. Muhl be declared legally dead in order that she may make a valid deed to dispose of real and personal property valued at $500. Muhl disappeared April 26, 1904 and has never been heard of since. At the time it was believed that he had met with foul play. Mrs. Muhl believed her husband dead and represented herself as the widow instead of the wife of Muhl. Unless Muhl returns and presents himself to the court before November 10th, when the complaint Is returnable, he will be dead to all jurpos?3 of the court.

CHIEF MEYERS. ASKS SOME METHOD TO CHECKTYPHOID Dr. D. W. Dennis Says Disease Can be Eradicated No New Cases. No new cases of typhoid fever developed today although several cases are under surveillance of physicians. The illness of Webb Pyle which was expected to develop into typhoid fever was said to be due to other causes by his physician. The containers for testing the milk have not arrived here as yet, although letters and telegrams have been sent to Indianapolis requesting their immediate shipment. It is thought they will arrive tomorrow. Dr. D. W. Dennis, of Earlham College today issued the following statement: Dr. Dennis' Statement. Doctors disagree. The people do not believe any of us know anything about typhoid germs; won't the citizens of Richmond examine just one fact prayerfully if they pray, seriously if they do not, towit: Last year 34 of our people died from typhoid fever 34 out of 25,000. On the Canal Zone, 4 died out of 62,500 that is the ratio was 2 times 34 or 85 here to 4 there; 21:1. Now is it not evident that they do something that is worth while? Ought wejiot to appoint the best committee we "can to see what this is, and to try it if we can? A great city in Germany never has typhoid: Munich. They have a great medical school there. For a generation they have had to take their students on an excursion to see the disease! Ought we not to know what they do to prevent the disease and do it if we can? 34 Our Usual Mortality. Thirty-four last year was our common mortality; we had no epidemic last year; we are now on the eve of ar. epidemic; it may rise to 300 this year. r;jff4?9 ii I tell what we could do to prevent it, every man who stops to read the article will have his own opinion on everything I propose and out of these several opinions we will do nothing and go on dying. Nevertheless here goes: If we want to stop typhoid, we must first stop up every well in town, at livery stables, at factories of all sorts whether they are used for drinking purposes or not there is a tin cup at every one of them and many people use them. Unless we do this it is no difference what else we do we will suffer all the time from typhoid and we will have an occasional epidemic. Second: All peop'.3 whethe- adults or not must quit bathing in the river; this means we must have a healthful place for bathing, near. Third: Someone who knows must see to it that the water furnished by the waterworks company is safe all the time, and that no dairy practices questionable methods. Stop up the wells! Yes. water as well as food must be furnished to all who can't pay for it; and those who can pay must be required to do so. We can't do these things? Weil, then we will have to go on dying of typhoid; we have demonstrated that we can do that. GETS SEVEN AWARDS Seven prizes in the Fall Festival horse show were taken by the Frank A. Lackey stables of this city. First prizes were awarded to the stables, in the following classes: Light harness stall'on, general purpose stallion. sweepstakes, coach team, coach horse j and saddle horse. !In the seventeenth century smoking was allowed in the house of. commons.

TO WATCHCROSSING Man Will be Placed at Hagerstown. HAGERSTOWN, Ind.. Oct. 7. After an investigation of the conditions of traffic at the Pennsylvania railroad crossing at Washington street, Division Superintendent McCullough notified the Hagerstown city council that a man would be placed at the crossing twelve hours through the daytime. At night two warning bells will guard the crossing. Tt.e town board recently made complaint to the railroad authorities regarding the unguarded crossing, and Superintendent McCullough made a trip here today. He was met by the city councilmen, and the crossing was inspected. CAR STR1KES WOMAN Mrs. Will Parrish Painfully Injured. The belt car added another to its string of accidents late this afternoon when Mrs. Will Parrish, 221 North Twentieth street, was struck and badly injured while standing at the corner of Twentieth and C streets. She was removed to her home and placed under the care of a physician. While her injuries are not serious they are very painful. Mrs. Parrish was watching a cement mixing machine which made considerable noise and she failed to hear the I approach of the car. It was running slowly, witnesses say, when she stepped inVhe path of it. She was knocked town and dragged a short distance. The woman's injuries consist of bp.d bruises on the body and severe cuts on the head. The cuts on her head caused the loss of a large amount of blood. She was semi-cor.sciou.s when picked up and had not regained complete consciousness at 3 o'clock. ORDERS SH1BLEY TO BE MORE SPECIFIC Senator Weeks' Request Brings Forth Statement From Witness. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Senator Weeks today commanded that George Shibley, of Washington, director of the Washington political research bureau, a witness before the banking and currency committee, be more specific in his statements that college professors must preach the sound money doctrine of "trustocracy" or lose their positions. Mr. Shibley then declared President Wilson narrowly escaped removal from Princeton because he advocated the short ballot system; that Edward W. Bemis of the Chicago university, was discharged because he told facts about the Chicago Gas company; that John Commons of the University of Wisconsin, was discharged because he voted for Bryan; that James Allen Smith, of Marietta college lost his position because he would not preach the traditional sound money doctrine, and that he could add indefinitely to this list. Shibley said that when Mr. Wilson as. president of Princeton took an open position in favor of the short bailot he was guilty of heresy in the eyes of the board of trustees, who were glad when he left the university because of the influence of his advanced ideas

Nicholson is Nearing Eighty-Fifth Birthday

"1 feel strong enough to get into a political fisht." said Timothy Nicholson, one of Richmond's best known citizens, promiuent worker in th Friends church, and of state-wide reputation as a prison reform advocate. "Four weeks from today 1 will celebrate my eighty-fifth birthday. I have Ud an active life but time has uealt kindly with me and today I f-el bettt-r than 1 have for some years." Mr. Nicholson does not intend in the future to engage actively in public affairs because of his advanced age. For that reason he refused to consider an appointment as clerk of the Indiana Yearly Meeting. His only connection with public life now is an honorary membership of the State Boar of . Charities, of which he is the father, j Mr. Nicholson retired from active membership on this board four years ! a.co after nineteen years of service under nine governors. The story of how this excellent organization was created and the long, iiard fight waged by Mr. Nicholson ami a few other men for prison reform ari among the most interesting pages in the history of the state. Fought For Inmate. Mr. Nicholson said today that as early as 1867 he began the fight lor humane treatment of inmates of state prisons as a member of the committee appointed by the Indiana YearlyMeeting. At that time and several years later women prisoners were confined in the same prison with the men and juvenile offenders. "When we started the fight to have the men quartered in one prison and the women in another; the boy convicts in a reformatory and the girl otti.nders in another reformatory, conditions at the old penitentiary were so shocking as to be almost indescribable," said Mr. Nicholson. He said that women prisoners were frequently the mistresses of the guards and prison officials and that child birth back of the grim stone walls was not so Infrequent as to cause comment. He also said that women prisoners were some times stripped and forced to run through the corridors for the amusement of their brutal warders. After the practice of herding all classes of prisoners, regardless of sex, in the same prison had been discontinued the fight tor non-partisan board to control all prisons and other state institutions, tnd to take their management out of the corrupting hands of politicians was begun in earnest. Institutions Bettered. Air. Nicholson told of the hard fight to get the State Board of Charities bill through the Democratic controlled legislature of 1SS9; how, to the great surprise of himself, his co-workers and the governor this bill finally became a law, and of the great progress made in the supervision of all state institutions since that time. Mr. Nicholson said that shortly after the board was organized it succeeded in getting a bill through the legislature which practically abolished the flogging of prisoners In the state prisons and reformatories. He said that prior to the passage of this bill a prisoner could be sentenced to the whipping post on the charge of a guard without being permitted to say a word in his own defense. The bill aimed at the flogging evil provided that the charges of any guard should be made a part of the written records; also the statement of the ac

cused prisoner. Then, after sentence had been imposed by the warden it could not be carried out until after twelve hours had elapsed and only hen in the presence of the prison physician and chaplain. This pjractically put a stop to the brutal system of beating the prisoners for the most trivial offenses. Today Indiana's prison system ranks among the best in the morld. but Mr. Nicholson modetly disclaims credit for this although it Is freely accorded to him by other enologists.
