WHEAT SHOWS DROP WHILE CORN IS OFF

CHICAGO, May 8. Wheat showed losses of 24c, while July and September, especially the former, showed some reaction from the lowest point.

JUNIORS GIVE PLAY FOR SENIOR GLASS Before one of the largest crowds which ever filled the auditorium of the Richmond high school building, the juniors gave their play, written especially for the occasion by one of the students of the school. It was well received and frequent applause was given the actors and actresses. The play opened about 8 o'clock and was preceded by the reception of the juniors in honor of the seniors, which was held in a room reserved for the student members of the classes.

CITY RESTRAINS RIVAL COMPANY ADDITION WORK Judge Comstock Sustains Injunction fo Prevent Expenditure for Equipment

by L. H. & P. Concern. BOND STATES CASE Charges Hasty Action by Competing Plant to Block Proposed Purchase of Electric Property. An injunction against the Light, Heat and Power company to prevent the erection of a new building and the addition of electric machinery was sustained by Judge Comstock in circuit court today. The restraining order and injunction was filed by City Attorney Bond today. He declared the hasty action of the Light, Heat and Power company in planning additions to the plant is an attempt to inflate the price the city will have to pay the corporation for its electric holdings in Richmond and vicinity, "used and useful" in the production of electric current. Mr. Bond recited the action of the city in the case, including the investigations of the committee, the passage of a resolution by council, signed by Mayor Robbins, declaring that the business judgment of the city council made it necessary to take steps for the acquisition of the rival plant, and the order of the public utilities commission of Indiana for a public hearing on the consideration, June 15. Charges Hasty Action. The complaint said the plaintiff has heard the Light, Heat and Power company is hastily proceeding with plans to install additional machinery and make other improvements which will swell the value of the plant no less than $50,000. In the light of the recent improvements and additions to the city light plant enabling that plant to carry most of the load of the city of Richmond, the purchase of an enlarged plant such as the Light, Heat and Power company plans, is termed by the city attorney "the perpetuation of a wrong and fraud which would be a great and irrepar able injury to the city." The injunction is the outgrowth of a visit of engineers from the United Gas and Electric company of New York, owners of the Light. Heat and Power company, recently. The engineers secured figures for plans for a new building to be equipped with machinery almost doubling the capacity of the company's electric plant. The legal notice was served on Wilfred Jessup, president of the Light company. Xo steps have been taken to fight the injunction. POSTPONES DECISION OF HORNBECK'S CASE ,:rrL -"r t"l, " V, ou.

Coast, guards who w-itnessed the destruction of the Lusitania from shore declared that the first torpedo had evidently caused the great liner's boilers to blow up. They said great volumes of smoke and steam shot skyward completely obscuring the shin. There were a number of British war ships near the scene of the destruction.

But her self-congratulation was destined to be short-lived. One bright Sunday morning, ten days after the episode of Mrs. Simmons' call. Isabel suggested to her husband that he and she go to church. She had been in the habit of attending service once a day on Sundays before her marriage, John, not used to this practice, had often made excuses for staying at home, and of course Isabel remained j with him.

a much maligned panacea to womankind. At the same time women were warned that scopolamin, the drug employed is dangerous and that it should only be administered by a physician skilled in its use. Drastic federal and state laws regulating the administration of the drug were advocated. In answer to the charge brought forward against this method of painless childbirth that it weakens and endangers the infants born to mothers under the influence of the drug, two blue ribbon twilight babes, Peter Boyd (photographed above) and James Stewart, were exhibited as two examples refuting the charge and as two American-bred advertisements for a plan to construct a "Twilight Sleep" institution in this city.

Church and Finds Herself a Party.

She said as much to John, and, to her joy, he did not oppose her. Certainly, he agreed, he would go If she wished. She was right. It was a good thing to go to church when one was happy instead of waiting until one was unhappy. "It is astonishing." he philosophized, "that many of us seem to feel when things are going smoothly that we can get along without religion. But as soon as a man is in trouble has a death in his family, for instance he turns to religion for help. Haven't vou noticed how people who never darken the threshold of a church, and cni(r at the elerev. want a minister to come to bury their dead?" "Yes, 1 have noticed it," said Isabel.
