MISS UR WANDERS j AWAY FROM CAMDEN Salvation Army Institutes I Search for Pretty Girl Believed in City. Miss Katberine Fur, 24, a pretty Camden, O., girl, well known In Rlcbi mond, is missing from her home. She la a bright and well educated young ' woman, her mind apparently becoming 'a blank for a time, and while so afflicted has two or three times wandered away from her home. Mrs. Jewel of the local Salvation Army station, was today requested by the young woman's aunt, Mrs. Paxton of Rushville, Ind., to look for her in j Richmond, as she thinks Miss ur is in this city. I She was to have gone to Eaton yesi terday to visit friends but she did not i get off the train at that town and it is believed she left the train at Rlchi mond. ... Miss Fur is described as being a little over five feet tall, simply but becomingly dressed, has blue eyes, light hair and walks somewhat peculiarly. Mrs. Jewel requests that anyone having seen a young woman answering such a description to telephone to her at Salvation Army headquarters. Miss Fur is the daughter of David Fur, a well known resident of Camden. Prompt Action Will Stop Your Cough. When you first catch a cold (often indicated by a sneeze or cough), break it up at once. The idea that "It does not matter" often leads to serious complications. The remedy which immediately and easily penetrates the lining of the throat is the kind demanded. Dr. King's New Discovery soothes the irritation, loosens the phlegm. You feel better at once. it seemed to reach the very spot of my cough" is one of the honest testimonials. 50c at your druggist. Adv. BUTLER ASKS DATE FOR STATE MEETING j Charity Committees to Con- ' vene Saturday to Make Plans for Conference.

Amos W. Butler, president of the State Board of Charities and Correction has called a meeting for February 27 of chairmen of committees and round tables of the state charity conference which will be held in Richmond.

City Statistics

CONGRESS TO REFUSE "QUAKER" AS LABEL There is every Indication that one of the "Quaker" bills in congress will pass before the close of the present session, according to S. Edgar Nicholson, editor of the American Friend. Mr. Nicholson received a letter from Congressman Palmer informing him that the first bill had received a favorable report from the house committee on patents and is on the calendar ready for a vote on final passage. The bill will be introduced on suspended rules next week. This bill amends the trade mark laws, prohibiting the ubo of the name of any religious body or the name by which any religious body is commonly known, for commercial purposes. The other "Quaker bill" prohibits interstate shipments of commercial articles bearing Buch names.

MERCHANTS REFUSE ORDERS SAYS BECK

Dr Richmond merchants want business? This is a question which Postmaster Beck says is negatively answered by the failure of merchants to take business which is almost given them. The time for letting the annual government building contracts for supplies will come soon, as today Is the last day for submitting bids. Out of many merchants asked to bid, only two had submitted their proposals up to an early hour. Mr. Beck said he would go to a numberof grocers and supply men and ask them what their intentions were in the matter. He said he had also asked a number of men, including several who are idle and who say they are looking for work to bid on the removal of ashes. A number promised to submit bids but none have come in.

QUITS HOTEL BUSINESS

After having operated the Wayne hotel, 427 Main street, for the past three years, Frank S. Clapp retires from the hotel business next Thursday. He will dispose of the furnishings at public auction and .cease to be a factor in the commercial activities of Richmond. Believing that the life of the farmer is the only life, he will move his family to a farm in Ohio and once again become a tiller of the soil, his early education having been along the lines of the furrow and the plow. "No more early morning calls to make," said he, "no more kicks to be ringing by ears from morning to night, but just the simple life for me." Several claims have been made against the hotel owner, including a suit for back rent and for his ejectment from the property. In announcing his action, Clapp said the owners refused to repair the interior so that he could attract more trade and as a consequence he has been operating at a loss for some time.

SEEKS NEW MEMBERS

To increase the membership of the local branch of the German Alliance, a committee composed of Messrs. Duning, Hackman and Koll, has been calling on German-American residents and interesting them in the work of the organization, which just now is fighting the tactics of Secretary Bryan and his neutrality program. A woman's auxiliary of the alliance is in the process of formation.

MAYIIEW Clarence Wade Mayhew, the one day old son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Mayhew, 814 North Dj street, was buried this afternoon at I 2 o'clock in Earlham cemetery. j DAVIS Word has been received of; the death of Oliver Davis of Williams-; burg who was spending the winter at; St. Petersburg, Fla. Death was due to '. heart disease. The body will arrive , here Thursday. Funeral arrangements

will be made later. Robert Davis, of North Seventh street, is a brother.

WEICHMAN RELATES CURRENT EVENTS A paper on "The Sacraments, Baptism and the Lord's Supper" was read by Fred T. Klute at the meeting of the Men's Brotherhood of St. Paul's Lutheran church last night. Mr. Klute based his thoughts according to the order outlined in the catechism and explained what baptism is, the benefits it bestows. He presented scriptural proofs to show baptism produces great results. Current events were presented by Robert Weichman, who read an article dealing with the war question as to its present situation.

COMMITTEE FAVORS UTILITY MEASURE

POSTPONE SCHOOLS SHOOTING TRIAL

to share in their profits after the bond-! rd indebtedness had been provided for. 1

The committee which considered the measure indorsed it unanimously. A duplicate bill will be favorably reported in the house, perhaps tomorrow.

News Tabloids With Churches

The Rev. E. G. Howard will speak on "The Church as It Is and as It Ought to Be" at the second Lenten service at the First English Lutheran church Wednesday evening. In view of the sharp criticism that comes to the church because of its alleged failure as a force In modern civilization in the warring countries of Europe, it will be interesting to hear such a discussion from one whose purpose it is to uncover the church's real ailments with a view to remedying them.

HUBER TO SPEAK. Special Lenten services will be held at the St. Paul's Lutheran church tomorrow evening. Rev. Conrad Huber will deliver a sermon on the subject, "Behold I Stand at the Door and Knock," in which he will tell of the opportunity which Christ offers to everv one to take him into their lives.

Robert Schools, who shot his brother-in-law, George Robinson, last month, will not be tried in circuit court tomorrow, the date set for his hearing. It has been postponed until the middle of March. George Robinson, the victim, who was shot in the cheek when he attempted to calm Schools, who was cornered in a North D street joint by a volley of pool balls, is recovering from the wound. The bullet has never been found and is believed to bo still lodged in his body.

Preparing for a flood of prosperity which is due soon, the American Seeding Machine company has increased its working hours from nine to ten hours a day, maintaining the force of workmen at 520, which1 is short of the number normally employed. That the time is not far distant when an extraordinary demand will be made on plants of this country for stock is the belief of President Jame3 Carr of the Seeding Machine factory. Stock is being manufactured which Mr. Carr believes will supply the demand until the plant can be put on a full working basis.
