MEANS A NEW BUILDING.
ACTION WILL MEET WITH GEN
ERAL APPROVAL WAY HAS
BEEN BLOCKED BY MEMBER OF
ADVISORY BOARD.
Superintendent Charles Jordan, of
the county schools has received a Ions
distance message from Dr. J. N. Hur
ty. secretary of the state board of
health, stating that he has condemned
the school building at Greensfork be
cause of its unsanitary condition.
Condemnation notices have been ship
ped from Indianapolis and will within
a day or two be posted on the school
building. Dr. Hurty's action means
that the unsightly old school building
which has been in use for years anl
utterly unfit to be used as a school
house, must be torn down and a new
one erected in its place in time for. tha
opening of the schools next Septem
ber. "
Will Meet With Approval.
About a month ago Dr. Hurty. at
the request of Greensfork people, made
a personal inspection of the building.
His notification that the building has
been condemned, comes as no surprise
and will meet with the approval of the
majority of the residents of Greens
fork. Trustee Boyd of Clay township has
favored the abandonment of the old
building and the erection of a new
one on the present site, but he has
been powerless to take any action to
ward carrying this plan into effect,
owing to the fact that one of the mem
bers of the township advisory board
opposed the abandonment of the old
building. As a result of this advis
or's stand Dr. 'Hurty was appealed to.

Disturb the Work.
THE ROOMS ARE ALL OPEN.
The condition of the city scjools
at the present time is better than it
has been for some months in that all
school rooms are open and there are
no teachers off duty. The pupils too
are practically all in their places,
there being but few cases of sickness
among them. The work is moving
along nicely.

REV. A. G.NEAL GIVEN
A CORDIAL WELCOME,
Alexandria. Ind., April 2-". More
than three hundred citizens of this city
regardless of religious affiliation,
gathered at the M. E. church to wel
come the Rev. A. G. Neal, who has
been returned by the conference to this
city, and who has established himself
as a very popular minister. The
Rev. Mr. Neal was formerly located
at Richmond.
Three for the Fellowcraft.
At a meeting of Webb lodge of Ma
sons Wednesday night, three candi
dates were ivcn the e11owcfaft de-
New York, April 2o. The Boston
lawyer, said to have been the crief con
spirator in the bond robbery of the
Mercantile Trust company, is said to
be in New York today. Every bank
and trust company in the city is today
examining their securities. DouglaV
easy robbery of the company for which
he worked, opened the eyes of bank
ers. Both Douglas and Dennett say
they were dupes of a Boston lawyer.

III GREAT DEMAND
III QUAKER CITY
This Will Be Greatly Increased
As Soon as tha Additions to
The Various Factories Have
Been Completed
LARGE INCREASE IN
POPULATION TO RESULT.
It Is Believed That Building of
Houses That Would Rent at
A Reasonable Figure Would
Be Good Investment.
The demand for empty houses in this
city is great at the present time, but
the conditions now are nothing to
what they will be as soon as the new
additions are completed to several of
the large factories of the city. Per
sons from neighboring towns and cit
ies are constantly coming to Richmond
to secure homes, but as there are prac
tically no empty houses within the city
limits, it is impossible for the real es
tate dealers of the city to accommo
date them with houses. Several such
families have been compelled to board
and room until an' empty house was
available.
According to the statements of a
prominent real estate dealer houses
renting for Jjl. to $" per month are
scarce as the proverbial hen's tooth,
while bouses renting for less are not
available, generally speaking at any
price.
Good Investment Possible.
A man having a .considerable amount
of money for investment, according to
the theory of the man referred to,
could do no better than build several
houses for cheaper rent, as he could
command a good figure each month in
rentals. The - same rule would hold
good with houses which rent for more.
Owing to the demand for "houses 5n
Richmond, the rents as a whole have
increased to a considerable extent and
it frequently occurs that after a fam
ily vacates a house the rent is raised
on the next one coming in, as it can
be easily secured and not much
thought of it. The only relief in sight
is the building of more houses.
It is estimated that within the next
year there will be at least four hun
dred workingmen come to Richmond
to take places in 'ie factories and as
a general rule these men are heads tff
families. Within another year prob
ably as many more will come and
where they can get accommodations
as matters stand at present, the real
estate dealers are not willing to ven
ture a guess. Big increases are to be
made in the forces at the Hoosier
Drill and Starr piano factories and the
workmen must be cared for.

LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
LARGEST COUNTY CIRCULATION.
LARGEST RURAL ROUTE CIRCULATION.
LARGEST PAID CIRCULATION. t ii'dd Xelsua. count!.
Prosecutor Jessup in circuit court
charged Jim Phillips, who was ar
raigned ozi a charge of selling liquor
to George Reigle on Sunday, with be
ing one of three men who placed fire
brands at the homes of William poney
and other Cambridge City residents,
who took active parts in a moral cru
sade in that city last March.
Phillips was placed in the county
jail March 11 on the charge to which
he plead guilty, and for forty-five
days he has been an inmate of the
county bastile. Judge Fox fined Phil
lips ?23 and costs so for the next thirty-five
days Phillips will continue to
board with Sheriff Meredith.
Statement by Prosecutor.
Pauper Attorney P. J. Freeman is fat
ed to the court hat Phillips had been
in jail a long time awaiting the hear
ing of his case and suggested that he
had had enough punishment for the
offense he was charged with. Judge
Fox seemed to think that Phillips had
received sufficient punishment but
Prosecutor Jessup then stated that
Phillips was one of the men who had
placed firebrands at the doors of the
Cambridge City reformers, which was
meant as a threat to burn their homes
unless these men took less active part
in the reform movement. The prose
cutor also stated that Phillips is a
menance to the community and that
the best place for him would be the
jail. After hearing this statement of
facts Judse Fox decided to allow
Phillips to remain in jail a little long
er. A Denial at First.
When Phillips was arrested . for
"boot-legging" liquor to Reigle, Sun
day, March 10, he stoutly denied the
charge and was lield at the county
jail pending the investigation of his
case by the grand jury. Up to the
present time the grand jury has not
had the case called to its attention
and Phillips, wearying of jail life, fin
ally gave in and stated that lie was j Cleveland. O.. April 'St. Marcus

Suit for divorce on the grounds of
abandonment has been filed in the cir
cuit court by Charles Frankenburg
rgainst Wildie Frankenburg. Doth
are well known residents of western
Wayne county. Mrs. Frankenburg re
sides at Pennville and her. husband
lives on his farm north of Penu
lt is understood on reliable infoi
tion that the extremely opposite relig
ious beliels of Mr. and Mrs. Franken
burg are directly responsible for the
domestic difficulties, which now have
reached such an acute stage that the
two, who have been married several
years, have decided to sever their life
partnership.
Hearing Will be Interesting.
Mrs. Frankenburg Is a Seventh Day
Adventist and in common with ether
members of the. sect believes that the
Lord's day falls on Saturday. Mr.
Frankenburg has been reared to the
belief that the Lord's day falls on Sun
nay. Mrs. Frankenburg, while she
and her husband lived together,
strongly opposed her husband work
ing on Saturdays while he did not ap
prove of Mrs. Frankenburg's constant
refusals to observe Sunday as the
Lord's day. Two years ago the relig
ious dispute between husband and
wife reached a climax when Mr. Fran
kenburg employed a few men to do
some work about the farm on a Sftur
day. This so angered Mrs. Franken
burg that she tleft her husband "and
has never sfnee lived with him. The
hearing of the divorce case promises
to be most Interesting as the unusual
points in the case will be brought out.
