FAKE SUICIDE SETS CITY LAUGHING AT HALLOWEEN PRANK James Quigley Puts Dummy in Room at Hotel Bell Hop Makes "Awful" Find Coroner Goes.

LATE MARKET NEWS

Edited by A. D. Cobb, Agricultural Expert.

It was a gay, delirious time Richmond had Halloween, last Saturday night Masked and oostumed revelers thronged the streets, some thieves took advantage of the occasion to burglarize two of the Thlstleth watte stores, and as a climax James Quigley, a North E street druggist, and fellow conspirators perpetrated a fake suicide that made the town howl with laughter when it became known Sunday morning. Saturday a weary traveler came to the Arlington hotel for hoard and Rhelter, but being too heavily laden with splrltous liquors it was decided not to quarter him after he had spread his name upon the register and had been assigned to Room 134. This incident was seized upon by Quigley, who lives at the hotel, to pull off one of his famous jokes. Uses Wax Dummy. Securing a wax dummy from a store, he succeeded in placing' it in the bed of room 134. Then he opened a bottle of carbolic acid, placing it at the bedside. Next he spread newspapers over the bed and painted a red line on them leading to the mouth of the dummy. The next move was to write a "farewell" note, which was pinned to the bed clothing. It read. "Bury me at the side of my wife. See Hob Graham. He will tell you all." Graham is manager of the railroad station restaurant. His preparations all complete, Quigley left a call for Room 134 at 7:45 o'clock Sunday morning. When Miss Carroll, assistant manager of the hotel, came on duty Sunday morning, she saw the call for lioorn 134, and rang the bell repeatedly when the time came to awake the guest. Receiving no response she sent a colored bellboy to rap on the door. Greatly agitated he returned in a few

minutes, reporting that he smelled carbolic acid in Room 134, and could gain no admission to the room. She sent him back again. This time he peered through the transom and saw the grewHome sight. Shaking with fright he reported his discovery to Miss Carroll. She. also peered through the transom and at once became greatly agitated, notifying promptly the hotel manager, Miss Woods. The latter telephoned to the owner of the hotel, J. M. Lontz, who gave orders to notify the police and coroner and to summon physicians. The hotel office reeked with excitement when Officers Vogelsong and Lawler and Coroner Peirce arrived. Calls It Suicide. When they gained entrance to the room Iawler exclaimed, "It's a suicide, all right," and the colored porters and bellboys besan to turn pale. While Coroner Peirce was rolling up his sleeves, Vogelsong placed his hand upon the dummy's head, and a peculiar expression came across his face. "Stung, by heck," he exclaimed to the coroner, who was professionally thumping the breast of the "victim" and to see the Misses Woods and Carroll tearfully reading the farewell note and expressing regret that the suicide had selected the Arlington as a place to end his earthly existence. Then the head of the "suicide" came off under Vogelsong'a firm grasp, and with great speed the porters and bellboys took their departure. Those who remained promptly recovered from their surprise and instantly burst into roars of laugh-

of the hoax, "came to view the "remains," tears rolled down his cheeks and he repeatedly informed the coroner he could not identify the body. When the truth of the. situation came

home to him he manfully offered to buy the dinners for the whole gang. A bill was sent to Quigley for $2 for room for a dummy over night, and he cheerfully paid, but later it was discovered that the "suicide" had willed his all to Quigley, $2, so the money was returned to him. Main street Saturday night presented a picturesque, appearance. Hundreds of people, old and young, were masked and costumed, and hilarity reigned until after midnight. There was no disorder to mar the occasion, and the youthful revelers were unusually well behaved, very few complaints being made to the police.

125 VISITING DRUIDS HELP ATJNITIATIOM Richmond Lodge Confers Work on Record Class of 100 Candidates.

The entire membership of the Druids order and about a hundred and twenty-five visitors from chapters all over Indiana and from eastern parts of Ohio participated in the initiation yesterday when about one hundred

candidates were given the work. All members of the Grand Council of the fraternity were guests of the Richmond lodge. Preceding the initiation the lodgemen headed by a band paraded Main street, the line of march being several blocks long. The candidates were taken Into the fraternity at the new Eagles hall after which a reception was held at the Druids' rooms. This is the biggest event in the history of the Richmond branch of Druids. The class of candidates was perhaps the largest ever taken into an order in the city at one time.

Underhill, who was fined in police court for an attack made 011 Hamilton, has been set aside and the case will be retried.

ter. Miss Woods exclaiming that no one but Jim Quigley would be guilty of such a hoax. Coroner Peirce laughed so hard he nearly had a stroke of apoplexy. He rapped loudly at the door of Quigley's room and finally got a sleepy response from him, asking who his disturber was. "It's the coroner," Dr. Peirce ex

plained. "There has been a suicide in the next room. Fails in Identification. "Then it worked all right," remarked Quigley, completely giving himself away. "Sure it did. I wouldn't be here if it hadn't," answered the cororner, and the crowd laughed again. When Graham, who had not been told

37 YEARS ELAPSE SINCE MORTON DIED Indiana's War Governor Was Born and Reared in Wayne County.

Sunday, November 1, marked the

thirty-first anniversary of the death' of Oliver Perry Morton, known as the greatest war governor of the nation, and the best political organizer of his time. I Oliver Perry Morton was a native of Wayne county and was born at the old town of Salisbury, three miles west of Richmond, August 4, 1823. The house in which he was born was destroyed in the decay of Salisbury, but his own home where he lived after his marriage, is still standing just west of Centerville. Following several years at Miami University at Oxford, he opened a law office in Centerville. In 1861 he was elected Governor on the new Republican ticket, and his manner of getting men and money for the Union army caused his fame to spread all over the country. He was re-elected in 1864 and after that served two terms in the national senate. He died in Indianapolis, November 1, 1877, following an attack of paralysis.

Prosperity or Poverty, Economy or Extravagance, More Tariff or More Taxes? Why Is It Every Time the Democrats Are in Power We Have Hard Times, Our Factories Close and Workmen Lose Their Steady Jobs ?

The Republican Party Eventually must assume its old position of Leadership. Why Not Now? Protectionists cannot afford longer to remain divided. Labor wants Work; Not Charity. There must be a revival of business. Republican candidates will carry out their pledges. They will restore the laboring man to his job, knock out the disastrous free trade policy and restore prosperity to the na tion. There will be no war tax in time of peace. Republican candidates will introduce economy into the government of the state and

will send to the scrap heap the Tom Taggart- Crawford Fairbanks-Donn Roberts-Joe Bell machine. There will be No salary grabs an d no laws will be written into the statutes that have not been passed. Republican candidates will give a dollar's worth of government for a dollar's worth of taxes in the conduct of county affairs and restore a government "of the people, by the people and for the people." For Prosperity instead of Poverty, Economy instead of Extravagance, More Tariff instead of more taxes and efficiency in State, Nation and County practice.
