The peach crop was also struck hard by the storm. The fruit which remained on .the trees was badly bruised and damaged, t Gardens were also badly damaged. Stems of onions were cut off and young beans and peas suffered much from the storm. Young corn was not only ribboned but the beating rain also covered touch of it over. This will make It fcard for the corn to straighten up again. Rye also was damaged, inasmuch as It was just in bloom and It is thought that the damage done by the storm will interfere with the germination.

"We were talking about your dogs, and I made the remark that I would rather' have a fish dog, as I liked fish best. Mr. Hale, who was standing beside me, asked what kind I would like to have. I answered I liked bass. "Mr. Hale turned to his bass setter, and said, 'Bring four one-pound bass.' "The dog started to the river, and in about ten minutes the Hog returned with four one-pound bass." PROGRESSIVES BELIEVE T. R. CAN WIN OUT CHICAGO, June 5. The Progress ives all along the convention row today were devoting most of their time to sounding the new Roosevelt slogan "Heal the wound to the bone." The Roosevelt Republican commit tee, of which George von L. Meyer, former secretary of the navy, is chairman, launched the new slogan in a large advertisement printed in the local papers today. It was at once taken up by the Progressives who are fighting the hardest to have the Republicans nominate Roosevelt. The advertisement, printed over von u. Meyer's name, in part says: "A great crisis in our country's affairs is at hand. "As goes the next four years at Washington so goes the next forty years with out nation. "Broad patriotism and sterling Americanism are the watchwords." City Statistics Marriage Llcnses. Hector Rookberry, 22, coal miner, city, and Ara Bell JeBsup, 22, housekeeper, city. Warranty Deeds.

GARDEN AIRDOME OPENS WITH NEW COMPPANY Opening a week's engagement In Richmond, Hav-a-laf Walker and his lady minstrels offer their famous Hav-a-laf minstrel at the Garden Airdome tonight. This organization has been receiving much favorable comment along the road from press and theatre managers alike, and has an enviable record in Indiana of sold-out business. The company is composed entirely of musicians, the majority of whom are young ladies, and is an accomplished artist on the instrument she handles. Musical Walker probably is the best-known minstrel Indiana has produced, and his musical novelties are in themselves a guarantee of the very best in music. This organization carries its own band and orchestra, and the Airdome management believes a treat is in store for those who enjoy good music, this week at the Garden. SOUTH HOPES Continued From Page One atructed, was that they would await developments before declaring for any one. They wanted, they said, to be a real part of the proceedings. Summed up by one of the best known of the national committeemen from that section who asked that his identity be withheld, their position was as follows: "We have to be with a winner. The south cannot .deliver any electoral votes to a Republican presidential candidate. It gets recognition by delivering the nomination and a mistake now which would keep us off the winner would be disastrous if the party elects the president." And because of that position the Progressive leaders refuse to abandon hope that before the smoke of the battle clears away they will be able to put Colonel Roosevelt over. Their position Is that he typifies the real issues of the campaign and that he should lead the fight. They insisted that if a man could be suggested who stands for the things that Roosevelt does they would be willing to withdraw the colonel and support him. And always. when making this suggestion they wound up by asking: "But so far no such individual has been mentioned.' Markets or Territory. Some national advertisers seek to cover territory, others hunt for markets, and when they find them, culUvate them. FrequenUy they ask the aid of good newspapers like The Palladium in finding markets. And when they find what they are looking for they advertise in newspapers. Thus they not only reach consumers, but they enthuse retailers to an extent not possible In any other way. Manufacturers more Interested In definite markets than in wide territory are invited -to make in-, quiries of the Bureau of Advertising, American Newspaper Publishers Association, World Building, New York.

LODGE FAVORED CODTTES 80

C H I C AGO, June 5 The platform carpenters In the Republican party got down to real work today and tentative draft of various planks floated around among the delegates by the score. The leaders decided on Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts for chairman of the resolutions barded with suggestions. - Senators Borah of Idaho, Sutherland of Utah and Kenyon of Iowa, and Representative Martin Madden of Illinois were among those agreed upon today as members of the committee, and they found themselves with a fight on their hands. A serious campaign to revolutionize platform methods gained considerable momentum today. A group of delegates declared for cutting down the platform to an "irreducible minimum" in words. Draw Up Two Drafts. Two more or less complete tentative platforms put in an appearance today. One was the "old guard" document, framed and circulated by Guardsman Murray Crane of Massachusetts. The other was a Progressive Republican platform, framed by Progressive Republican members of congress in Washington, and brought to Chicago by Senator Kenyon of Iowa. Senator Borah of Idaho was responsible for a large part of the Washington platform. Proposed Provisions. The general provisions of the big planks, as now in the process of formation, would declare: That the party believes in a virile "Americanism" fostered by the proSLEEPER'S BODY Continued From Page One. sleep and sat down.

This was about 1 o'clock Sunday morning. West bound train, due here at 1:20 o'clock is believed to have struck him. The place where the body was found Is where trainmen watch for the block signals. This and the condition of the body led to the belief that other trains had struck the body before it was found. The body was taken to the home of a sister, Mrs. Frank White at Whitewater. Funeral services were held this afternoon at Cedar Grove, north of here. The deceased is survived by three sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Homer Daugherty, Mrs. Fred Sasser, Mrs. Frank White and E. O. Radford and Charles Radford. This is the fourth violent death in this vicinity within the last few months.

The ultimatum issued by Hughes through his secretary in Washington today declaring that under no circumstances will he have anything to say as to where he stands until after the Progressive convention adjourns, was a sharp shock to the Progressive leaders here. They had hoped that the authorized challenge of Harold Ickes declaring that Hughes was impossible of consideration by the Progressive convention because of his silence would smoke the Justice out. As the Roosevelt star waned, many of the supporters of the sage of Oyster Bay voiced the fervent thought, "Oh, if Roosevelt was only here." All of the . Roosevelt plans were shrouded In secrecy but the anxious feeling around the Roosevelt headquarters was plainly apparent. The attitude of the Progressive leaders had waned with the seeming strength of Roosevelt. Perkins States Stand. George Perkins issued the following statement: "I am for harmony between the two conventions meeting in Chicago this week. I shall use every ounce of ability I have got and every moment of the time day and night to bring it about. "But not for one minute will I lose sight of the fact that you can pay too high a price for almost anything, and you certainly can pay too high a price j ror narmony. we couia nave naa narmony with England in 1776 if we' had paid the price England demanded. We could have had harmony in 1860 but we would have had no country as a result. "We would have had no such glorious future as we had after both of these struggles. Now I for one am deeply imbued with the belief that we are facing just as momentous a struggle with just as important questions to decide as existed in 1776 and 1860. These questions are internal and external. If we evade them, compromise or temporize with them, they will simply' come back to plague us in the Immediate future and come back with greater force."

' That the party has renewed . faith In the protective tariff system, favors a non-partisan tariff commission, and deplores the effects of the Underwood tariff law. That the country should prepare for possible war by building the navy back into second rank among the . world powers, and by following the army war college plan for the army. The preparedness plank probably will advocate universal military training. The plank criticising the administration's conduct of the business affairs of the government, will be directed principally at the administration of the postoffice department and at the "pork barrel" appropriations of the Democratic congress.

ACTION OF PROGRESSIVES HINGES ON G. 0. P. VOTE

CHICAGO, June 5 Progressive leaders today were seriously considering the latest plan proposed, for the course to be followed by the Progressive convention. This plan is that the name of Colonel Roosevelt be placed in nomination as quickly as the convention is opened. No vote would be taken. The convention would mark time until word was received as to what action would be taken by the Republican convention. If the Republicans nominate the Colonel the Propressives would then rush the vote on Roosevelt in their convention and ratify the action of the older party.

Differences Have Arisen. A great deal of difference has arisen however, over the course to be followed in the event that the Republicans choose Hughes. The majority of the Progressives and that is known to include E. A. Van Valkenburg, of Philadelphia, Harold L. Ickes, Illinois leader, and William Flinn, of Pittsburg believe that the Progressives should take no action until Justice Hughes has made an acceptance statement. They would have Colonel Roosevelt pass on that statement himself. If the former president decided that Hughes showed by his statement that he was a strong enough advocate of real preparedness, then the Colonel's name would be withdrawn and Hughes put up and quickly nominated by the Progressives. In this connection, Gifford Pinchot, ardent Progressive, made it plain that Justice Hughes would not be acceptable to him as long as he maintained his present attitude of silence. "I believe," Mr. Pinchot said, "that the welfare of the country requires that Theodore Roosevelt be nominated by both conventions." SHOW FINE DOGS. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., June 5.

Car Reduced to Junk. So violently did the locomotive strike Miller's car that It was reduced to junk. The machine was hurled through the air quite a distance, falling in front of the engine, which pushed the wrecked machine a distance of a half block before tossing it to the side of the tracks. The train was not stopped until it had reached the Sheridan street viaduct. When members of the train crew reached the wrecked machine Miller's mutilated body was found on the right-of-way at the side of the car. He was undoubtedly killed instantly. Most of his bones were frao tured, and a deep hole was torn in his right temple.
