LITTLE AUTO CREATES PANIC: SPINS, GLIUDS POLE, HITS HORSE

Bill Pipher, a barber and former local saloon keeper, In his trusty Ford gave an exhibition of automobile rough riding such as never before witnessed by residents of West Richmond, when he ran amuck with his machine this afternoon. Bill almost killed a horse, nearly knocked down a telephone pole, smashed up a delivery wagon and wrecked the front part of his Ford but he escaped without a scratch. When found by the police Bill was reposing in a sea of mud at the side of his car, working his arms and legs like a swimmer while his frightened dog sat upon the front seat and barked dismally. ' Driving the machine at full speed Pipher shot across the Doran bridge shortly after noon, and collided with a horse hitched to the Bullerdlck grocery wagon. The horse was standing on the right side of the street. It was knocked down with such violence that a shoe on a hind hoof was torn off. The animal was very badly cut up and may die. The wagon was also damaged considerably. In making the turn at Richmond avenue and West Fifth street Pipher's Ford whirled about twice and then f shot down an eight foot embankment into the alley betw.en Richmond ave- " nue and Chestnut street Bill never CHRIST'S PRIESTHOOD TOPIC OF SERMON "Jesus has endeavored to bring us into much the same relationship as that which exists between Himself and God. He has called us to a high and holy calling, a place of fellowship and communion with Him." So spoke the Rev. M. S. Hlnckle before the East Main Street Friends church, yesterday. "The Priest was a mediator, and in the Priest Lord before the coming of Christ, it was necessary that some sort of sacrifice be offered by the people through the Priest for their sins, but the Priest himself was a man with human limitations, and they needed also to offer sacrifice. The office of the High Priest was a holy and sacred office, but sin and worldllneas crept even Into the Priesthood. "All the early Priests were typical of Christ, but Jesus was the final culmination of God's plan. He became not only our High Priest, but also the offering for the sins of mankind. He was God-appointed, sinless, and He abides forever; He was a living sacrifice, and He ever lives to make intercession 4for us. . - "Jesus was the bridge between a loving God and rebellious man. It was always God's plan that man should be saved. "The mediating priest hood is complete in Jesus Christ; if we sin we bave ari advocate with' the Father, even Jesus Christ who intercedes for us. There is no other Priest to take His place, no other atonement, no other offering but God's only Son. "Jesus paid the price and set us free, with Himself he bought our redemption." CHARLES POTTER RUNS FOR LODGE DELEGATE Australian ballot system will be used in the annual election of officers of the Loyal Order of Moose which is held from 4 o'clock this afternoon until 8 o'clock tonight.

L. Dickinson and Harry Gates are candidates for the office of trustee for three years. ROAD DEPARTMENT BEGINS TO EFFACE WINTER'S RAVAGES Seventeen men were busy on the roads of the county bright and early this morning. Reports reached County Road Superintendent Jones that today was the first time that real work could be done on the highways, Last week, there were several goods" days for the men to be working on the roads but the frost was not entirely out of the roads and traffic tore them up about as fast as they were being repaired.

TO PROTEST BECAUSE BROOKVILLE PLAYED SEMI-PROS Richmond high school authorities probably will file a protest against the members of the Brookville basketball five who participated in an independent game with Christ church team of Cincinnati at Brookville last week. Rules of the I. H. S. A. A. demand that high school players participate in nothing but high school contests. Admission was charged to the Brook-ville-Cincinnatl game. On these two counts three members 6f the B. H. S. five, said to be Bossert, English and Milbourne, could be declared ineligible to take part in the state title meet at Bloomington. "The standard of clean athletics fostered by the I. H. S. A. A. demands that action be taken in this matter. Richmond has no chance of entering the state meet in case Brookville is declaed ineligible. We do not care to enter the meet after being beaten fairly. We do. demand, however, that Brookville live up to the rules of the association," said Principal Pickell this morning In discussing the matter. CAT RIDES TRUCKS FROM CINCINNATI When fast train No. 19 on the Penn sylvania lines bound for Chicago pull ed into the Union station this morning, Station 'Master Mayhew noticed a large striped cat riding the trucks of the Jacksonville Pullman. Fearing that the animal would be killed Mayhew and members of the crew coaxed it from its precarious position. After petting the cat Mayhew turned It loose believing it would stay about the station. Immediately it made a dash for its bed on the trucks. Dislodged again the cat which was of unusual size was held. When the train pulled out the animal fought and scratched in its vain endeavor to return to its Pullman car. Members of the crew had not , noticed the cat and did not know how long it had been riding with them. torlal nominee as a last recourse, "Wigmore said today. "The state convention is not obligated to adopt such a platform as he demands and if the platform which is adopted does not meet with his approval he has the privilege of resigning from the ticket.' It is ffo secret that the big majority of the Progressive voters in Wayne county are fervently hoping that Hanly will be forced to resign. In such an event it is probable that the Wayne county delegation . would nominate William Dudley Foulke to succeed him.

WASHINGTON, March 13. There was unconcealed surprise over Secretary of State Lansing's admission that Ambassador Gerard Is to return soon from Berlin to the United States.

The kidney secretions were too frequent in passage, causing me to to get up as many as ten or twelve times at night. They were also highly colored. Doctors said I had lumbago. After I had used many medicines without being helped, I got Doan's Kidney Pills. I used three boxes and they cured me." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that cured Mr. Henderson. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.
