MISS HERSHEY IS
OUSTED AFTER A
LONG STAY AT TOP
Signs of Activity All Along the
Line, and Especially Among
The Women Candidates in
Race.
MISS DANNER GETTING
A LEAD IN HER CLASS.
Her Vote Is Near the 30,000
Mark Surprises May be
Expected at Any Time Like
Those of the Past Week.
For the first time since the Palla
dium aud Sun Telegram Jamestown
Exposition contest opened, Miss Eliza
beth Hershey has been crowded fror.i
first place in the women clerks' cIas-3. t
Miss Nellie Williams who has not been
long in the race was the one who took
the lead Miss Hershey has held so long.
Miss Williams did so by turning in
over ten thousand votes. Other sur
prises of the same kind may be expect
ed any day. Prof. Stevenson of Econo
my sprung one last week even greater
than the spurt made by Miss Williams.
His jumping to the front among the
men teachers has made several of them
uneasy.
The greatest activity In the contest
just now seems to be on the part of
the women. Miss Goldie Danuer is ap
parently trying to get a big lead over
her Cambridge City opponent and has
Tan her vote up to nearly CIO,00V.
There is signs of work all along the
line and by far the best way to see
what candidates are doin is to follow
the tabulated vote printed herewith. .

ACCIDENT MAY BE DUE TO A

Johnstown, Fa.. April 27. Through
tin accident resulting in the flooding
of the Foutswell mine, of the Berwine
White Coal company, ten miles from
Jiere, twelve men have been imprison
ed. Their fate is not known and tha
greatest excitement exists among rela
tives and friends who fear they have
lost their lives. It will probably re
cmire two days before the water can
be pumped out of the mine to make a
search. Just how the accident occurr
ed is not known.
If the accident is due to a broken
pipe there is a chance that the men
may have reached some place of tem
portry escape by climbing through an
plr overcast into a section of the mine
lielleved to have escaped flooding.
There has been no word from the mcn
t ince they were imprisond. The pumps
liave been kept working steadily but

GAIN IN POPULATION
WILLJBE MANIFEST
Figures Now Being Taken Will
Run Over 20,000. '
ARE FEW EMPTY HOUSES.
Although the school census now be
ing taken is not yet completed nor
will be before May 1st, the census
takers have a line on the probable re
sults of their work. The four chief
features of the canvass are to ascer
tain the number of school children
in the city, the number of families,
the number of vacant houses and the
population.
It is thought at present that Rich
mond's population will go over the
20.000 mark easily, which indicates a
growth. The number of houses found
vacant, and which will be recorded in
the census takers reports, substan
tiates the Palladium's story of a few
days ago, that there are few houses
in the city for rent. The census tak
ers state that there are but fifty all
told, and some of these are not fit for
habitation.
The number of school children in
the city will remain practically the
same, while the nnmber of families is
not yet known.
At a meeting -of Ionian Literary so
ciety at Earlham it was voted to give

Galena, Ills., April 27. A defense of

made on the president with similar at
tacks on Washington, Jackson, Lincoln
and Grant was the principal feature
of the Indiana statesman's oration at

recent picturesque attack of Col. Har

T. P. A. GAIN SO EUR
REACHES FORTY-TWO
Hustling Committee Has Done
Good Work in Behalf of
The Local Post.
DELEGATION TO ANDERSON.
INDIANA IS NOW CLOSE BEHIND
MISSOURI IN THE RACE FOR
THE LARGEST GAIN IN MEM
BERSHIP. An interesting? meeting of Post C,
T. P. A., was held Saturday nig'ut at
T. P. A. headquarters on North Ninth
street. A substantial increase in
membership was reported, as the re
sult of the work of the hustlins com
mittee. Forty-two members were i
added to Post C, making the total
membership S17, composed of Rich
mond's representative traveling men,
jobbers and manufacturers. Arrange
ments were perfected for a rousing
delegation to go to Anderson on May
17 and IS, to attend the annual state
meeting. Indiana has 7,000 members
making a delegation of over 500.
These members with their wives and
friends will surely awaken Anderson
as it has never been awakened before
and an earnest endeavor will be made
to interest all local members in mak
ing the trip to that city. A telegram
was read stating that the Indiana
division had succeeded in securing the
$500 prize offered by the National
association for the greatest gain In
membership up to April 22.
Close Behind Missouri.
Indiana is now only 67 members be
hind Missouri, which has for years
headed the list, and by hard work and
hustling, the former hopes to lead
Missouri in total membership at the
close of the fiscal year, which closes
April 30th.
A rousing vote of thanks was giv
en the chairman of the "hustling"
committee, Charles Pierson, for his
effective work in handling that com
mittee.
The smoker of two weeks ago was
considered so successful that it was
decided to have another in the near
future, and repeat them often. The
idea is a good one and greatly appre
ciated by the membership. r
Post C has a prosperous year before
it and it will add to the popularity
of the T. P. A. in Richmond.
Officers are Capable.
Much of the success of the local
post is attributed to its officers, E.
E. Lebo, president and M. L.. Hasty
secretary and treasurer, as they have
done much to promote the organiza
tion to its present place among
Richmond organizations.
The national T. P. A. convention
will be held in June at Norfolk, Va.
Three delegates will represent Post
C, they being Horace Starr, Wiiliam
Kramer' and M. L.. Hasty. The pres
ence of these gentlemen at the con
vention assures the post an honorable
and effective representation.
The meetings of the post will be
held every Saturday night until after
the state meeting. Members should
not fail to attend.

;NEW PICTURE OF WILLIAM T. STEAD.
Perhaps the most celebrated, journalist In the work! is William 'T. Stead,
who recently came to this country as a guest of Andrew Carnegie and a dele,
gate to the peace congress in New York. lie is editor of the London Review
of Reviews and author of several books on reform topics. In 1885 he- was
sent to prison In Engrland for publishing an exposure of immoralities, his
object being the legal protection of young girls. The reforms which he advo
cated were carried out a little later, and Mr. Stead declares that he is more
.proud of his prison service than anything else in his career.

OPINION OF WINDY CITY.
Chicago, April 27. William T.
Stead, the London journalist and ad
vocate of international peace arrived
in Chicago from Cleveland tdday and
at once refused to address the city
club at a luncheon Monday noon be
cause it is an exclusively male organ
ization. The author who created
such a furor on his previous visit to
Chicago, fourteen years ago by declar
ing that Christ would take possession
of the city hall and engage in a sensa
tional crusade if he came to the city,
told George E. Hooker, secretary of
the City club that unless women are
admitted to its functions he will de
cline to appear at the luncheon in
his honor.
Mr. Stead- gave some of his views
of the city and declared that Christ
would consider, the city government
in need of clearing. He saw some
improvement however and declared
that the streets are clearer than on
his former visit.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
PREPARING THE WAY
New Laws Are Being Put Into

WRECK REPORT BLANKS.
The members of the Indiana rail
road commission are preparing the
way for the operation of two more of

islature the law providing for the ap
pointment of inspectors to examine the
car equipment, the track, rolling stock,
etc., and that section of the new com
mission bill that requires a report
on every accident.
The commission is sending out let
ters to each of the railroads of the
state, notifying them that blanks for
the accident reports are now bein&occurs after eight or ten hours, under
prepared, and instructing them to no
tify the commission at once of name
and address of the officer of the com
pany who will make these reports in
case of accident.
The law requires two reports of ev
ery accident to be made to the com
mission. One, a preliminary report,
is to be made within five days after
the accident. The blank for this re
port is brief.
The blank for the second report, to
be made within twenty days after the
accident, gives opportunity for a
more complete account of each acci
dent. Gradually the commission is taking
up the new laws passed by the last
Legislature and is forcing the appli
cation of these laws, one at a time.

THE FLUID IS A GOOD GROWING
PLACE FOR BACILLI METH
ODS THAT MAY BE EMPLOYED J
TO PREVENT DISEASE.
As a part of the universal war-faro
that has been planned against disea
by the nation, as well as many of the4
states, .we have our pure food bill by
our last general assembly. Lws en-
acted to fit so many conditions, must
necessarily be inadequate for every
place where specific law is needed, and
it happens, therefore, that cities, while
helped very much by these state pro
visions are necessarily dependent upon
local laws for direct relief.
It is for the purpose of carrying out
the spirit of the general provisions of
the State law, that severr new ordi
nances are necessary in Richmond, at
the present time. In a general way tho
slaughter houses and meat produc's
are provided for, but the inspector
comes only occasionally and often i.
not skilled In a knowledge of meat or
meat producing animals, and can not
therefore, serve the specific purpose of
relieving the people of this city frn
death by tuberculosis, from diseased
cattle. We must have an Inspector
who shall draw his pay, from a sourco
not controlled by local conditions, aud
who shall have a most thorough
knowledge of such diseased meats and
who will act without fear or favor, for
the interests of clean and healthy meat
foods, and who shall be constantly
present whenever animals are slaugh
tered for market. Such a provision I
now pending in an ordinance, provid
ing for an inspector, controlled by th
government, and sanctioned by our
city council, that will meet in the best
way possible the spirit of the state and
national laws. Fortunately for this city
such opportunity has been offered to
us, over all other requests, for many
other places and it is up to council at
its next meeting provide such an
excellent ordinance for "our city.
The Danger in Milk.
Since serious diseases can be present
in cattle for long periods of time, as
has been shown by our experience
from postmortems of the slaughtering
houses here, we can not know of eucli.
existing disease while the animals aro
still alive. A cow, for instance, may be
giving milk containing thousands of
tubercular bacilli and therefore, infect
ing persons who may be drinking such
milk, without there being evidence of
such disease in the animal that would
be marked by the most competent In
spector. The state law provides, and
very wisely, for a thorough sanitary in
spection of dairies and will thus no
doubt prevent the spread to a llmlt'd
extent of this disease among cattle,
but fails to provide any definite plait
whereby we may prevent thisf drea'l
disease from cattle already infected.
The number of such cattle in each,
dairy having such disease, vary muclt .
according to their opportunity for tak
ing tuberculosis and the sanitary con
ditions after such chance has been af
forded. No doubt, we have dairies that,
are not yet Infected, but there are oth
ers where the cattle are largely infect
ed. The estimate of such infection,
made by the government bureau at'
Washington is from three to eight per
cent of such cattle. How, therefore, are
we to know from what source to ex-5
pect this fell destroyer of our citizens,
from the knowledge now at hand?
Only two ways can be provided for
protection against tuberculosis and otlx
er diseases obtained from milk an 4
neither of these are provided for by;
any state law, yet at our disposal.
How to Find the Germs.
In the first place, cattle can be In '
jected with tuberculin and if reaction
proper surroundings, we may have, a
reasonable knowledge that such cattle "
are diseased from tubercle and should
be killed; thus preventing the spread"
of disease among the herd, and also
preventing farther disease of the milk:
from such cattle. Milk differs from"
most other fluids in that it is such a
good growing product for almost all
bacilli and thus, while but few germs
may get into It In the beginning, with-
in a few hours millions of such orga i
isms may be produced, therefore, millc
is the most dangerous of all animal
GALLEY TWO ORDINANCES,
products. In the second place millc:
may be brought to a temperature of
165 degrees P". and kept there for'
twenty or twenty-five minutes, whichj
according to most authorities will kill
the disease producing germs in thij
fluid. ,It would seem therefore, that
all these methods, should be employed
in order to make the highest standard
for this product L e. the, state should,
give us a law and no doubt fche wilL
covering these necessities. In the mean
time, we must be protected by laws en
acted by our common council, so as to
prevent so many of our citizens from
death from the dread white plague.
Sixteen and one-sixth per cent of all
persons dying last year Ja Richmond
was caused by our carelessness in the
prevention of this disea.se. 4.4."V per
