$410 REPRESENTS TOTAL GUARANTEES Gas Company Officials Say They Are Compelled to Demand Deposit. VIOLATES ORDINANCE Company Agrees to Keep Interior Arc Lights in Repair Cheaply. At present the natural gas company has on deposit $410 in cash guarantees of gas bills. Out of this entire amount only $40 represents money posted, by people who might have furnished personal security. The remaining $370 represents deposits placed by consumers against whom the company would have no recourse if they refused to pay their bills. Just what action will be taken gainst the company in regard to this Violation of the recent city ordinance prohibiting the exaction of a cash deposit is still problematical. The city authorities seem inclined to wait until the company turns off the gas of some consumer, which will bring the matter into court, at the same time hoping that nothing of the kind will happen until the matter has been given the attention of the public utilities commission. Insist Rule is Fair. The officials of the gas company insist that no public utilities commission would rule that they must, furnish gas to any one without first having good and satisfactory assurance that payment for the gas will be given when it is due. This cash deposit is in name cases the only satisfactory guarantee that can be offered. The company officials point out that the money derived in such a manner js not desired by the company as it is compelled to pay six per cent on puch deposits when it can borrow money elsewhere for four and that it causes extra cost in bookkeepjng. City Attorney Bond is convinced that the company can be required to do business without receiving any kind of a guarantee, because it is a public utility. The officials of the company declare that such a step would put thara on a much less satisfactory business basis than the ordinary merchant who can refuse to do business with I Unreliable parties. May Exact Fee. Mr. Bond said today that he was misinformed concerning a rule of the company made for the convenience of Users of interior arc lights who desire expert serrlce in caring for them. For this servlc the company exacts a certain maintenance fee. Mr. Bond was quoted yesterday as Baying that the coinisany would not be allowed to do this. When the nature of the contract for maintenance of these lights was explained to him, he stated that the contract was perfectly proper. By this agreement the company will clean and keep in repair for a certain amount all arc lights used. By having a special man attend to this work the company is enabled to perforin the service cheaper than the user himself can do it. The user in no case is required to engage the services of the company's expert. PENNY SUPPER. Ladies Auxiliary of Y. M. C. A. will give a Penny Supper Saturday night 6 to 8 Y. M. C. A. Bldg.

In small cities it j probably would never be necessary to have nurses for tuberculosis patients ( alone. ! 111 iuumuaiiio iuc iwa.u vjl ' supplies a nurse for the tuberculosis clinic of the City Dispensary. The Flower Mission supplies general nursing for charity cases only. Lately there lias been organized a branch of the International Public Health Nursing Department of the School of Medicine. Although all these nurses work together and among them cover a large field, the city still needs other nurses. It needs school nurses particularly and still more for the otherwise excellent obstetric work of its dispensary. In a city like Richmond this division of work should certainly not be made in the beginning and perhaps never should be, certainly not. unless th nurse's work could some very definitely under the control of a local dispensary or hospital. From the very tirst the nurses should be general nurses and their activities should be widespread rather than intensified. were, what sort or services would be most needed for the future. An answer to a question can never be found until the question is clearly stated and asked. The way to begin work is to j begin it, with an open mind and no evasion of the fact that both defects and strong points will appear at once. The first nurse must be prepared to work with every one and to attack and meet any and all of the problems which nurses in larger places face but. she need never fear to meet them unsupported nor in too large numbers.

HOOSIER'S NEST" ORIGIN EXPLAINED I Mrs. Sarah A. Wrigley Tells How Famous Poem Was Composed. Appreciation of the reproduction of tne journai of Henry Hoover, brother of the founder of Richmond, which is appear ing in lne i'aiiadium. is com ing from all sides. Mrs. Sarah A. Wrigley, for many years librarian of the Morrissen Reeves library, in a communication to The Palladium expresses her appreciation of the series and asks that the biographies of other pioneers be printed. She also submits an account of tho origin of "The Hoosier's Xet," which is appended: It may interest some of jour readers to learn the origin of "The Hoosier's Nest." Written In One Evening. j In the winter of 1S29-30. Mr. Finlev was a member of the State Legislature, and a boarder at the "Hawkins Tavern." The editor of the Indianapolis Journal asked him to furnish a po- ! em to be used as a "Carrier's Ad-' dress" January 1st. 1830. "The Hoo- : sier's Nest" was the result; it was written in one evening, if my memory is correct. I cannot say whether this was the tirst "Carrier's Address" issued by the Journal, but I know that Mr. Finley continued to write an address for the Journal several years in succession. He did not consider them worthy of presentation. Some years ago Mr. Isaac Jenkinson ! told me that he had several of them. Since his death I have hoped ihey would be given to the Wayne county ! Historical Society. j Offered It For Sale. ! The Carrier's Address was printed ' on a single sheet, with a fancy border . The "Carrier" was the "Printer's Devil" attached to the office. On New j Year's morning he cried the address ! I on the street, and offered it to patrons ; of the Journal. It was the custom to j give him a "bit" fir a "quarter." This j was his yearly stipend. j The Hawkins Tavern was a noted ' place in those days, headquarters for members of the Legislature. Mr. Hawkins afterwards removed to Craw- j fordsville. His sou. Gen. John Hawkins of Indianapolis, was educated ' there and at West Point. Mrs. Louisa ! Canby, wife of Gen. Richard Canby, : was a daughter. i Following Henry Hoover's Journal , I should be glad to see in your paper the reminiscences of other "old settlers." SARAH A. WRIGLEY. December 4, 1913.

Arnold Moore. 21. of Shelbyviile, said today, "He looks like the man I saw peeping into Dr. Knabe s window in tne Delaware flats in Indianapolis in the: spring of l!ll." i Moore had previously identified Dr. ! Craig in a group photo, and described the man he saw as being six feet tall, i ::irk moi;ta he. about 22a pounds, and wearing a dark crush hat. Moore . said h once asked the "peeper" what he was doing there, and was told to keep his mouth shut. Moore acknowledged, however, that he could not , swear that Craig was the "peeper" he i say. Miss McPherson, sister of the of fice attendant for Dr. Knabe. testified that Dr. Craig wore a dark moustache the day after the body was found. .V the noon adjournment the state announced it had only two or three ...v.. , -..o -it.
