Richmond Man to Represent

County Woodmen..

N. C. Heironimus was chosen dele

gate to tbe Btate camp of Modern Woodmen at a meeting of tbe Wayne

county camp last evening. Tbe state

meeting -will be beld at Washington, Ind., May 6. Sixteen delegates repre-

seated four camps of Modern Wood

men in tbe county at last night session. Mr. Heironimus is also a candidate for state delegate to the national camp to be beld at Toledo In June. A. E. Moss acte'd as chairman and S. L. Murray as secretary of the meeting. Richmond was olso chosen as tbe place for tbe next county camp, three years later. .

The distress of the railroads is set forth in the report of the Pennsylvania's February earnings, which shows that during February and in the first two months of this calendar year the big system earned far short of the proportion of dividends and fixed charges for these periods. Net earnings for February decreased 76 per cent from those of the same period last year. Net earnings for the first two months of the year were SI per cent less. If the same rate of decrease continues throughout the year, it "was pointed out, the system will fall at least 15,000,000 behind its $28,000,000 dividend requirements, and it appropriations for additions and betterments for which last year it spent $13,000,000. It is not to . be expected, owing to drastic economics, that this same rate

of decrease will continue. It is fair to suppose also said railroad men, that

earnings will show a smaller decrease in- more favorable periods of the year. But the Pennsylvania report was pointed to as a fair warning of the disastrous results fcr the railroads If they do not get help. The most striding fact revealed was the manner in which operating expenses had consumed all but the merest trifle of gross earnings. For all the lines east and west of Pittsburg the report showed that February produced the meagre net operating revenue of $845,267 on a volume of business of $24,310,208. This represents a loss of 13 per cent in gross earnings and 75 per cent in net. In other words operating expenses of $23,464,941 ate up 97 per cent of the gross earnings for the month.

BARLOW INSTRUCTS "Y" MINSTREL BUNCH

Under the direction of Benton Barlow, the cast for the Y. M. C. A. minstrels held a rehearsal last night at the Y. M. C. A.. The cast is showing some exceptionally good form and the show promises to be one of

the most successful ever held by amateurs of this city. The chorus, of S3 voices has been practicing for the past month and will be one of the features of the program.

Superintendent of State Fish Hatcheries Burke was here last night in conference with the directors of the Wayne County Fish and Game -association. Instructions on the propagation of fish was given' by the superintendent. The date for the annual

membership meeting was set for April 9. It is the opinion of Burke that the local hatchery is one of the most modern in this section of the country. The local plant, located on the Dickey farm south of the city, is up-to-date in every respect, and is in charge of men who understand the work thoroughly. A large number of parent small-mouth bass are in the pond at this time, and still more will be added later. The annual membership meeting, which will be held next Thursday night, will be for tbe discussion of the season's work, and the decision of a date for the annual banquet. It is expected that this affair, which I the red-letter event of the year among local sportsmen, will be held some time the first part of May. The association now number approximately two hundred exponents of the rod and

gun.

iPLAYGROUflO TO BE

VERY BUSY PLACE

Nohr Says Tennis, Baseball, Roque and Other Games Will Be Played. According to Athletic Director Nohr of the local schools, the public playground at Twenty-third and A streets, will . be a busy place this summer. Baseball, tennis, volleyball, roque and other outdoor games will be on the program. Although the different baseball leagues will occupy the most attention at the grounds, this sport will not be the only one having its followers. The tennis courts at the grounds promise to be the closest rival of the diamond game, but the volleyball and roque fiends will have their inning too. Considerable interest Is being taken In the organization of the baseball leagues at the park. Three or possibly four circuits, including every branch of teams, from the factory

team to the Garfield aggregations, will be In the field.

The business league promises to be one of the most successful. It is the idea of Director Nohr to form a league of commercial teams of the city, including a team of bankers, newspaper men and lawyers and others. The games would be played in the evening and on Saturday afternoons. It is likely that both Garfield and

the high school boys will have circuits composed of members of the different classes of the two schools. Nohr will soon have his plan of organization for these circuits perfected and with the opening of the weather, activities will begin. No charge will be made for the use of the grounds other than for defraying the cost of the material used. . Tennis will soon be, under way at the playgrounds. The courts there are some of the best in this section of the state and after being put in condition will accommodate those of this city that follow this game. A tournament for players at the high school will be arranged for and games will be played between teams of the different classes at the schools.

The poet and song writers' aid in search for Catherine Winters, the 9-year-old New Castle girl who disap-

has resulted in a nation wide sale of the song, "Where Did Catherine Winters Go?" So much interest is shown by Richmond persons in the fate of the little girl that hundreds of copies have been sold in Richmond and in fact the sale extends from ocean to ocean. Recently Mayor Watkins, of New Castle, received a dispatch from Chester, W. Va., saying that a bottle had been found floating in the Ohio river containing a note purported to be in the girl's handwriting and asking for help. Later the note was sent to New Castle but Mayor Watkins returned it to Chester officials saying that the handwriting was not that of Catherine Winters.

Only two bids for furnishing the

city with crushed stone the coming

year were received and these were not

acted on, as neither contained the re

quired analysis and both quoted the same price. Tbe A. and C. Stone and Lime company, of Ridgevllle, and the Rheinheimer Stone company, of New Paris, would furnish crushed stone as required by, the city for eighty cents a ton, O. B. Richmond.

Representative Present. A representative of the Ridgeville company was present when the bids were opened and stated that the contract could be arranged so that any stone sent here would be subject to the approval of the members of the board and to chemical tests made at any time. ' President Bavis asked for the chemical analysis of the stone of both companies and deferred action on the contract until next Thursday. The bids will be subject to the most favorable analysis of the quality of stone. Permission was granted the new City garage, which will locate at 418 Main street, to place a gasoline tank in front of its place of business. President Bavis decided that the tank, which will be under ground and a hundred feet from the pump, will be a safeguard over the present method of automobiles running into garages to get gasoline. He and the other members of the board will grant a contract to the company next Monday. Wrong House Number. Complaint from Oliver Knode that houses were wrongly numbered was received. Knode claims that this is the case on many streets of the city, but as he only showed one instance,

the matter was referred to Building j Inspector Hodgin. Any other com- j plaints which come to the board, will receive the attention of the building i inspector. j Engineer Charles was ordered to ! prepare plans and specifications for: the construction of a brick crosswalk i

at Ninth and Sailor streets. The Reliance Foundry company was given the contract to furnish the city with castings for the coming year. The company held the contract last year and the board was pleased with

the quality of casting furnished. General work will be furnished at three cents a pound, with ten cents a hundred pounds additional delivery charge. Grate bars for the city Bght plant will be furnished at two and one-half cents a pound. The resolution for the opening of an alley between South Twentieth and Twenty-first streets was approved. i

CMKOPKACTIIC What it Is The Spine is a curved, flexible column, and forms the foundation or your body. Through its centre, lengthwise, it carries the spinaicord. and from this cord nerves are di stributed to every part of the body, carrying life-giving and health-maintaining energy to all the vital organs, muscles and bones. Chronic diseases are the result of an abnormal spine. By examining the spine the cause of chronic diseases or weakness can be located, such as'pains about the head, face, eyes, neck, back or limbs; disease of the lungs, heart, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, or special organs of sex, lowered vitality, irritability, insomnia and inability to think or work are some of the conditions where Chiropractic adjustments remove the cause.
