"Mi, Mi, OH UN" SAYS DOLEFUL VOICE

J. T. Pickett, Erstwhile Local Man, Hears Ghost-like Noises.

SEARCH IS FUTILE

Insurance Leader Has Record As Journalist Teacher and Cavalryman in the Boer War

J. T. Pickett, formerly of this city, but now a resident of Irvington, was

recently mixed up in a sensational ghost story. Pickett, who rooms in an Irvington home, was recently dragged from his room by a carpenter working next door and commanded in a shaking voice to accompany him forthwith to the rear of the house to listen to certain mysterious noises. "There is some fellow out there who must want to see you," explained the carpenter. They stopped in the back yard near the house, and in a few moments hollow tones came to them, apparently from the ground beneath their feet. "Man, man, oh. man!" said the doleful voice. "Hey!" said Pickett, turning his ear to the ground. "Man, man, oh, man!" again came the tomblike intonations. 'Twai Dark and Stormy. Together the two men explored the house, the roof, the cellar, looked under the porches and returned to their original stopping place just in time to

hear the mysterious voice again utter its hear-rending lamentation. "Good Night" .said the private investigators as they rushed from the neighborhood to look for a policeman. There was none to be found which is nothing new in Irvington, so a call was sent in to police headquarters. A motorcop who soon arrived in aniwer to the call wore an air of general incredulity, after the manner of cops in general when they have been told something that they haven't heard before. "Man, Man, Oh Man!" "Cop" Rather Timid. Followed by a murmuring crowd, the policeman made a searching investigation of the premises. He looked Into the cistern, turned his eleotric light Into the dark recesses of the basement, and assisted by Pickett, took a davenport apart. Then highly chagrined and discomfited he went back to police headquarters. That was two weeks ago. The mysterious voice has not been heard since. Pickett is still rooming at the house of mystery but says that he is going to move as soon as the mysterious voice resumes Hb monologue.

H. H. Hadlow, superintendent and Agent W. S. Osborn, of the Richmond district of the Public Savings Insurance company, were guests at a banquet given by the company at Indianapolis in honor of the winners of a contest for increase of business extending over a period of twenty-six weeks. Richmond had the honor of finishing second for joint increase in the ordinary and industrial branches combined, and led the entire state for amount of ordinary insurance written.

Agent Osborn led the entire fctate both in industrial and ordinary writings and also for percentage of collections. At the banquet Superintendent Hadlow was presented with a suit case and Agent Osborn a gold mounted umbrella suitably inscribed. Mr. Hadlow had ten years' insurance experience in England, and rose to the position of Divisional Inspector in charge of four counties for one of the leading old line companies in that country. He controlled 373 superintendents and agents. He also won many awards for his contributions on insurance matters to the various Insurance journals. Medals For Bravery. Mr. Hadlow was a school teacher In his earlier days and later took up journalism. He volunteered for service during the Boer war of 1899-1902

and fought with the 33rd Company Imperial Yeomanry Cavalry gaining the

South Africa medal and four clasps. In one engagement he had his horse shot from under him and .narrowly

escaped being taken prisoner. Entering the insurance profession in No

vember, 1902 he won promotion inside ;

What Is Woman's Beauty But Health

And the Basis of Her Health and Vigor Lies in the Careful Regulation of the Bowels.

More than a hundred and fifty replies from three hundred letters circulated by the Rev. B. El Parker, of the First M. E. church, about a week ago, have been received by the minister. Rev. Mr. Parker is engaged in a

unique survey of the moral and spirit

ual conditions in the city as seen by others and many well thought out answers have been returned to hira.

Almost every conceivable trade and occupation has been or will be represented In the answers pertaining to

church work. Men representing thirty-

three separate vocations have been in terviewed.

He has received answers from law

yers, doctors, railroad men, common

laborers, clerks, editors, laymen, shopmen, skilled Mechanics, manufacturers, retired manufacturers, Sunday school and church workers, ministers, and a score of others. The answers are being filed although the names of the writers of the replies will not be divulged by the ministers. Such questions as: What is the greatest weakness of the Richmond churches as you view them; what one thing should the Richmond preachers flo that they are not doing; what is Ihe greatest defect in the life of the average churchman you know; and why are not factory men interested in the work of the church, have, been asked in the circulars. When the survey has been completed two weeks from now the compiled letters will be the source of a series of five sermons based on the topic, "Stumbling Stones in Religion in Richmond." The sermons will be given on Sunday evening starting two weeks from last Sunday.

An Easy Way to Get Fat and Be Strong The Trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they Insist on drugging their - stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing Dn useless "flesh creams," or following come foolish physical culture stunt while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You can not get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat. Thanks to the remarkable new scientific discovery, it is now possible to combine into simple form the very elements needed by the digestive organs to help them convert food Into fich, fat-laden blood. This masterstroke of modern chemistry is called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh builders. Sargol aims through its regenerative, reconstructive powers to coax the stomach and intestines to literally soak up the fattening elements of your food and pass them into the blood, where they are carried to every starved, broken down

cell and tissue of your body. Tou can pa

Try This Remedy at Our Risk.

Ugly pimples and blotches not only disfigure the face but cause unpleasant comments. They are a form of eczema and will not yield to "beauty preparations" but demand rational treatment. It was in just such conditions that our new soothing, antiseptic skin remedy, Saxo Salve, first proves its great value. Apply it as directed on going to bed only a few treatments are necessary to show its marvelous healing power. A remarkable feature that gives special value to Saxo Salve, is its ability to penetrate the skin and carry its healing, germ-destroying action to the very seat of the disease. We give back your money if Saxo Salve does not satisfy you fully. Leo H. Fihe, druggist, Richmond, Ind. P. S. Skin eruptions and poor blood

If woman's beauty depended upon cosmetics, every woman would be a picture of loveliness. But beauty lies deeper than that. It lies in health. In the majority of cases the basis of health, and the cause of sickness, can be traced to the action of the bowels. The headaches, the lassitude, the sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are usually due to constipation. So

jmany things that women do habitual

ly conduce to this trouble. They do not eat carefully, they eat indigestible foods because the foods are served daintily and they do not exercise enough. But whatever the particular cause may be it is important that the condition should be corrected.
