CITIZENS MET

TRAIN TO GET LINCOLN NEWS Agonizing Suspense Gripped City mile Residents Awaited to Hear Condition of Wounded President. Several residents of Richmond recall the happenings in this city during the days following Lincoln's death. Mrs. Isaac Jenkinson, whose husband formerly owned the ' Palladium, expressed the sentiment which was felt for Lincoln In Richmond. "There was hardly any limit to the love we bore President Lincoln," she said. "He was especially endeared to me because of his friendship to Mr. Jenkinson, who visited hjm several times at the white bouse during his administration. "We felt that he was next to God. as nearly a perfect man as lived on earth. The almost .unbelievable news reached us In Fort Wayne, and later Governor Morton called Mr. Jenkinson by telephone, and appointed him a member of the delegation to accompany the body from Richmond to' Springfiled, 111., where the body was buried." , "The Palladium was being published by D. P. Holloway in the room above

Illff's store at the corner of Sixth and Main streets. Bulletins were posted in conspicuous places. The suspense during the illness of Mr. Lincoln is indescribable. The people met trains coming from Cincinnati- in their anxiety to learn the latest news."

"There was the greatest vision . of

sentiment for Mr. Lincoln, said O. H. Knollenberg. "The occasion was a very depressing one and will always live in the memories of those who lived at the time. It was especially discouraging to political followers of Lincoln, because practically nothing was known of Johnson, who succeeded him. It was felt, too, that no one could 1111 the place of Lincoln. He had no equal.

.It'dgo Fox today fixed at $100 the bovd cf plaintiffs in the injunction suit uga'nst the city to prevent the pacing of North A street and to enjoin the city from continuing the paving around the post office.

FORGES CHECKS

Continued From Page One.

:ylng a Bradford (Ohio) young woman, the ceremony having been performed Monday. It took some real Sherlock Holmes xork for Thomas to locate Wolfe, but once landing him be paid no heed to such trifles as state lines and extradition papers. To Wolfe's frenzied protestations of innocence Thomas Bternly bade him to "come along with us to Richmond, and if you are the wrong man you will be turned loose," and Wolfe either forgetting or being ignorant of the legal formalities he could have insisted upon before being taken from Ohio into Indiana, came along as ordered, and the nervous constable, who had made only two arrests in his official career, came along also, shouting, most of the way, "don't run

the blame thing so fast. 1 can hold on to this here oil tank." Bank Refuses Checks. A check to which the signature of John Mikesell, a wealthy Darke county farmer, was forged and made out to "Charles Timmons," was passed on Sam Fred a week ago last Saturday. It was for $25. The same day Wolfe passed a check at the Fox store to which the signature of Will Payne, another wealthy Darke county land owner, was attached. It was for $28 und made out to Harry Timmons. Both checks were on the Hollandsburg People's Banking company. The latter part of last week that bank announced the two checks were bogus. Monday Thomas went to Hollansburg and at the bank described the forger. The banking officials said he knew a man answering the description, but was loath to mention his name. "Have you any paper with his writing on it?" askt-d Thomas. The banker produced a few checks signed by Wolfe and the writing tallied with that on the forged checks. Inquiry revealed the fact that Wolfe had gone to Bradford to get married. Wednesday Fox and Fred were notified of his return, so Fred and Thomas went to Hollansburg in a test car. Thomas, in the office of Justice Ireland wrote out a "John Doe" affidavit, which service the justice appreciated greatly, then the magistrate made out a warrant, which he turned over to Constable Hamilton. Wolfe was found working with a section gang, but the consable was too nervous, Thomas says, to read the warrant, so Thomas performed that ceremony also. Wolfe was taken to the farm of his father, Samuel Wolfe, but he refused to make good the sum his son had secured by fraud, saying he was too poor, &o young Wolfe was hustled to Richmond. The bride of young Wolfe is still at Bradford, ignorant of the cruel fate which has befallen her mate.

Action of Single Spoonful Surprises Many Richmond people who bought the simple mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka. are surprised at the INSTANT effect of a SINGLE SPOONFUL. This remedy is so complete a bowel cleanser that it is used successfully in appendicitis. Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel and ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE of constipation, sour or gassy stomach. ONE MINUTE after you take It the gasses rumble and pass , out.

E. O. BAKER. AT WHEEL. AND W. F. STT'TJM. OBSERVER,

WITH BETTER TIMES PENNSY MAY BUILD EXTENTION TO YARD

Superintendent Explains Reason for Injunction Suit to Prevent Collection of Sewer Levy. George LeBoutillier, aunerintendent of Richmond division, explained today the cause for filing suit for injunction against thecity of Richmond collecting the assessment against the Pennsylvania railroad for the Morton park sewer system. "I hesitated about bringing that suit because I do not want to stand in the way of any civic improvement," Mr. LeBoutillier said. "We feel that we will never use the system and it is manifestly unjust that we should be required to pay ten per cent of the cost of the' entire sewer. "I believe the law provides that the assessment cannot be collected as the ground beyond Nineteenth street has never been platted. It was purchased five years ago by the railroad for extension, of . yards but eveij that improvement Is too far ln the' future to figure on now. "If the yards are bujlt there, an enormous amount of water will be used and we probably" would build a private sewer to carry it away. Personally, I do no believe in a number of small shops scattered around. Logansport shops are doing a small amount of machine work for the Richmond system and then there are big shops at Dennison, Columbus, Fort Wayne and Terre Haute that can take care of any amount of work. "The railroad business is dull. There might be a slight local increase in business, but this is only a drop in the bucket with the whole Pennsylvania system. The railroad has no money now. for improvements of that nature. Railroad shops for Richmond are so far in the future that I am not

figuring on them for a number of

years.

Dashing across the continent in a powerful Stutz Bearcat in an effort to smash trans-continental records for motor vehicles, E. G. Baker, . well known to Richmond motorcyclists, will pause in the city long enough to register at the Palladium office. The city editor of the Palladium has been designated as the person to whom Baker and his companion, a representative of the Indianapolis News, shall report on arrival in Richmond. Similar stations for registry have been settled upon all along the route. Baker will proceed as soon as his record has been signed by the Palladium employe. Last year Baker startled the burners of gasoline by leaping from coast to coast on a motorcycle in eleven days, twelve hours and ten minutes. Baker will start from San Diego, Cal., accompanied by W. F. Stum on May 5. Sturm will testify that Baker drove the car all the way, and that he did not ship it at any point.

TROJAN WOMEN PLAY IN STRONG APPEAL TO LOVERS OF ART Miss Gwendolyn Foulke. Surprises Friends by Interpretation of Andromache in Little Theatre Company. "The Trojan Women" of Euripides, presented here last night by the Chicago Little Theatre Company, artistically was one of the rare treats of the year. The players make a studied effort to preserve the spirit of the ancient classical drama in their presentation. The mighty tragedy of Euripides, as interpreted by the group of players last night, made a potent appeal to the artistic temperament of the audience. Interest, of course, centered largely, in the appearance of Miss Gwendolyn Foulke, who took the part of Andromache. Her histrionic ability is well known in this city, but the perfection of her art, exhibited last night under favorable circumstances and in a play where imagination must play a heavy part, came as a distinct surprise to her friends and the audience in general. The sustained grief of the wives an $rff toffs gcTjroy, the outpouring of their souls in sorrow and the sombre, setting qf the. whole tragedy amid the wreckage, iof u destroyed 'city, leaves anvawfttl Jrapression. of The horrors of war upon the mind. The audience soon came under, the influence of the interpretation of the actors and were in sympathy with , the presentation.

The so-called "death watch," with its mysterio.us ticking at night time, is due to nothing more serious than the furniture beetle. The larva of this insect burrows in .the furniture, making the pinholes which are often seen in old furniture.

CHANGE AWARD SYSTEMS USED CLEAN-UP DAYS Students Will Pledge Citizens to "Clean-Up and Paint Up" PremisesTeachers Oppose Plan. Teachers' objections won out. Late yesterday the yard cleaning organization dispensed with the plan of awarding prizes by the honor system of reporting each pupil's work, the Bcheme which has been used here in former years. Pledges are being printed by the school presses to be distributed to and by the school children.' The pledge cards will be the basis of making the awards. Schools turning in the greatest number of cards, proportionate with the attendance, signed by citisens, parents or children agreeing to doclan up work, will receive the flag, which Whitewater school has held for several years. v '.--"', ' An order for 5,000 campaign buttons was sent in. As soon as the buttons arrive they will be. distributed in the schools. Encircling the button is the slogan, "Clean up and paint up" in large letters. In smaller letters is printed, ''I will, will you?" In the center is a seal on which is printed in motto form, "Cleanliness, thrift and civic pride, the essentials for homes and towns beautiful," which is interwoven between a scrub brush and a paint brush. School children are expected to enter every home in the city, with cards and to distribute the buttons wherever possible. The individual pupils will be rewarded for their efforts by gifts of plants, which greenhouse owners of the city will have in readiness at the close of the campaign. Brooms,- takes, brushes and paint will be applied to the city May 1. which is a Saturday holiday for school children. The campaign will close May 7, when the city is expected to be the cleanest it has been for a year. Extra Wagons Ordered. Mayor Robbins met with the organization and notified the members that there will be plenty of extra wagons and teams available to haul trash from alleys. This will be done on a schedule as in former years. All committees to take up the work were appointed. The committee members follow: Printing and Public Notices Mrs. F. W. Stephens and Mrs. J. B.
