Candidates Urged to Show
Their Hands Early, in Order
To Demonstrate Strength to
Their Friends.
The opening of the second -neck
brings still more faces into the Palla
dium and Sun Telegram contest and
jmich activity on the part of several
candidates already in. The feature
perhaps of the day was the spurt of
Frof. Walter S. Davis of the Rich
juond high school. Prof. Davis jump
ed from 44 to 5,055 votes. Prof. Davis
Is a great traveler .and it is safe to
pay that should he win no one would
enjoy the trip more than he. His
presence on the trip Mould be a great
pleasure to the others as he could act
in the capacity of a guide as far as
pointing out historic sights , is con
cerned. .
The teacher's race has every indica
tion of being a contest which will
prove the steel of the winning candi
date. Prof. Orville Branson of the j
Garfield Is next to Prof. Davis and the j
J-oung athletes at the Garfield are j
leaving no stone unturned to land the J
prise for their favorite. Prof. Josepli J
Jtlchter of the St. Andrew's school is
third among the teachers now and he
lias a splendid corps of pupils work
ing for him. Prof. W. O. Wissler of
the Garfield continues to poll nicely.
The aistnct teacner3 win proDauiyi
tiaTe a say in the contest before the
race is finished. There are many of
them entered.
Miss Lucile Mayer Leads.
Among the women teachers Miss
Imcile Mayer takes the lead having
polled in excess of 2,000 votes ever
Sunday. Miss Elizabeth Sands draws
many supporters, however, and is still
within easy reach of Miss Mayer.
Miss Elizabeth Lashley of the Cen
terville schools was busy over Sunday
otug from 6 to 209, every one f
which was a clipped coupon, indicating
1hat she has many persons working
for her.
rt seems to be William Russel and
George Knight for the shop employe's
prize at present with Knight in the
lead. In the woman shop employe's
class Miss Hodskin of Cambridge

of going to Jamestown and if it comes
to a fight between Miss Hodskin rep
resenting Cambridge and Miss Danner
Richmond, Cambridge will have to
"hustle. It is to be regretted that more
Ttich.mond young men employed in
shops have not entered the contest.
There are many who are very popular
end would stand a splendid chance of
Vrinning.
The Clerks Race.
In the clerks race there have been
a few withdrawals only to have their
places taken by other clerks. Miss
Hersaey who took the lead at the start
ttill holds it. A number of Miss Anna
Saxton's friends, it is said have prom
ised to work hard for her and she
should make a good race. Among the
men clerks Harry Puntin. keeps the
top position with Howard Thomas
second.
Here is given some advice which
will apply to every candidate. Begin
to work early. Don't hold back votes.
Show yonr hand. There is every rea
son for doing so. Your friends may be

Time of Making Count.
A great number of votes came into
this office today which are not includ
ed in the count. Votes must be in of
iin evening in order to be counted for
announcement in the paper of the fol
lowing day. Several letters came so
heavily laden with votes that this of

after this will not be done. Sufficient
postage must be placed on the bal
lots or else they will be allowed to

is the only fair rule that can be made,

beyond all hope of being producing,
while the foliage is injured worse than
It had been in several years past. The
freeze Friday night did great damage
but the severe cold and frost which
prevailed during the early hours of
this morning, put the finishing touch
es on that fruit where there still re
mained some chances of its producing.
The greatest injury has been with the
early varieties of fruit. The Dye
hous and Early Richmond cherries
were just beginning to bloom when thi
present cold spell struck them. The
Montmorency cherry trees, although
they bear late, are practically void of
live buds.
Other Fruit Damaged.
A greater portion of the apple, pear
and peach crops are ruined, according
to the statements of other fruit grow
ers surrounding Richmond. Many
had hopes during the latter part of the
week that Ithere would still remain
enough buds on the trees to supply all
the fruit that could be used during the
coming summer, but the exceedingly
hard freeze and heavy' frost last night
shattered the hopes of such persons.
Last night was considered one of the
worst that could have been handed out
by the weather man as the heavens
were clear while the thermometer
sank fast after midnight, and a crisp
white frost covered the ground this
vnorning. The little glass tube regis
tered just twenty degrees above zero
at the coldest period this morning,
which was at day break. Many farm
ers as well jps residents of Richmond,
hope that old King Sol. who so wil
lingly showed his shining countenance
this morning, will continue to do so
each and every day following in the
spring and summer months, with such
strength as to drive even the slight
est semblance of cold weather to those
sections where it belongs at this season.

Indianapolis, Ind., April lo. It has
been ascertained that there has been a
final and evidently irrevocable break
between- Governor Hanly and the state
republican machine. It was known
during the close of the legislature that
temporarily, at least, the machine and
the governor were at outs. It now
rests with the governor as to whether
the warfare between the two shall act
ually begin as soon as he recovers.
Some say the governor will try to
smash the machine and that the re
maining months of his administration
will be directed to an effort of this
hind. These say they believe Bever
idge would join In such an attack. Bo'h
Beveridge's friends and the machine
leaders say this is not the case. Of
course nothing can be done until the
governor recovers from his sicknes-s.
but his attitude toward the machiue
will be watched with interest.
Brave Woman Struggled With
The Men Who Had Invaded
Her Home and Came Near
Escaping Investigation On
Milton, Ind., April 1Zk As the result
of a murderous attack made on her
late Saturday night by two masked
men, Mrs. Frank Morris, wife of tht
well known rural mail carrier, is in a
serious condition at her home here.
Mrs. Morris was awaiting the return
of her husband Saturday night wh:i
about ten o'clock she heard a fcmx k
the door. Thinking it was Mr. Mor
ris, she opened the door without ques
tion. As soon as she had done so sh
was grabbed by two rough men. heav
ily masked. They demanded that h
turn over .$500 or else suffer losing her
life. Mrs. Morris protested that there
was no money in the house and in a.
struggle with the men broke away and
ran to the kitchen. Before fche could
make her escape from that room, the
men overtook her and again on h?r
refusal to turn over the money, struck
her over the head, knocking her to ttu
floor unconscious.
Found by Her Husband.
Mrs. Morris was found an hour latar
by her husband on his return. He
quickly summoned the neighbors an 1
medical aid. reviving his wife with
quite an effort. From the description,
of the affair given by Mrs. Morris, :t
Is thought that she was sandbagged.
No clue has been found to the woman'a
assailants.
.... When .Mr. Morris returned home !
found all the doors open, the lights
turned out and the house in much con
fusion, showing that the robbers had
gone through it hurriedly. It
known that they secured $7 in money.
JESSUP MAKES INVESTIGATION.
Prosecutor Believes There Were Three
Men in the Party.
Although the murderous assault on
Mrs. Frank Morris was made on Sat
urday night, Prosecutor Jessup wa
not informed of the affair until about .
o'clock Sunday evening. So far. is
known, the Milton authorities neglect
ed to send out a warning to the police
officials in neighboring towns fo tht
the assailants of Mrs. Morris could bs
apprehended. A3 soon as the news of
the assault reached the ears of the
prosecutor he telephoned to Marshal
Drischel at Cambridge City and learn

shal at Milton had not informed Dris

HARRY RYAN BECOMES

Harry Ryan of this city has ac

CREATED BY THE POPE.
The average man would never for a
second think-of searching out the fine
points of a hog with the idea in view
of measuring him for intelligence.
Strictly speaking, the hog has never
been credited with having intelligence
in any degree and for a man to search
for a single spark that would reflect
the presence of gray matter, would
taught anything. I have with me a
bunch of hogs that. wouldn't take many
p ies at a stock show, nor would they
be classed as hogs that would weigh
heavily at East Liberty, Pa., where so
many Wayne county porkers go, but!
it has been discovered that the hoari
that has the measliest appearance.
generally has the most brains. I
be deemed lacking in the same quality: have with me two hogs that claim
himself.
It has taken Edwin S. Holder, owner
and manager of the Holder Hoosier cir
cus, to disprove the common error and
because of the fact that Mr. Holder is
a Wayne countian by adoption. If not
birth, his views on the hog are of
more than ordinary interest. Just
now Mr. Holder's collection of bo vines
and other animals are housed in the
coliseum for a three days' stay, and
while they are entertaining hundreds
of children and older folks, too, it
may never be discovered just what el
ements have been necessary to accom-
as their place of nativity, Wayne
county. They are the Pole survivors
of my original troupe of porkers, and
were picked up near Milton several
years ago. They still perform and
they are valuable coachers to the
younger generation that I am putting
through the course for the future.

might have a considerable amount of

Saturday morning and went to New

car that arrives there about 10:4o in
the evening.
When" be arrived home he found the
front door and the kitchen doors open
with the lights in the kitchen and din

a 'light from a neighbor's home he sa.r

she had heard a rig drive past th
