1MENT
TO PROTECT YOUNO GIRLS GO
ING TO ST. LOUIS.
MILES OF EVIL DENS
Offering Allurements to Innocent
Girls Effort to Protect
Them.
It has come to the knowledge of the
W. C. T. U. that keepers of infamous
houses in St. Louis have a capital of
$300,000 to secure new victims for
their nefarious business. A corres
pondent of the Christian Herald says:
"There are miles and miles of evil
dens that cover their dark deeds with
a sign "Restaurant," or "Girls
Wanted to Work." Many an innocent
girl has entered these apparently re
spectable places, only to be drugged
and dragged to a living death. A
school teacher was rescued recently
by an uncle who found her in enforc
ed slavery."
May God move every Christian
Heart to aid in sounding the alarm.
No girl ought to go to St. Louis un
accompanied by a proven friend, un
less true and tried friends are to
meet her. XX
Encouraging.
St. Louis, April 24. Acting under
orders of Chief Police Kiely, the po
lice last night closed fill disorderly
houses in an area more than fifteen
blocks in extent. Orders to move
tH?.'' -1 ' ''. xuwU&?fj. Kily says
that district will be thoroughly clean
ed in a few days.
The order was due to the approach
of the world's fair and to the fact
that the new boulevard leading to the
exposition grounds extends through
the quarter.
CLAY TOWNSHIP
Commencement, the Most Successful
Ever Held.
The commencement of Clay town
ship schools was held at Greensfork
last Friday night under the direction
of Mr. B. II. Linderman, township
trustee. There were two graduates
from the high school and eleven from
the common schools. The occasion
was one of the most enjoyable, the
M. E. church being filled to the doors.
President R. L. Kelly of Earlham
made the class address. His address
lay along the lines of growth into the
intellectual life giving Lincoln, Glad
stone and Bismarck as beacon lights.
Supt. C. W. Jordan in delivering the
diplomas took occasion to give the
class much wise counsel. The music
for the occasion was supplied by the
Earlham Quartette and their efforts
were thoroughly appreciated. Mr.
Linderman, the trustee, is being con
gratulated on all sides this morning
for his successful management of
this commencement which is thought
to be the most pleasant and profita
ble one ever held in the township.

TO LEAVE
HON. WILLIAM D. FOULKE TO
VISIT OLD COUNTRY.
ACCOMPANIED
BY DAUGHTER
His Views on Civil Service and His
Estimate of President
Roosevelt.
Hon. William D. Foulke, who is in
the city preparatory to leaving for
Europe, is looking the picture of
iVfi TL- Isn wiring a button,
"I am for Richmond.' '
"How is civil service getting on?"
a Palladium reporter asked of Mr.
Foulke.
" Civil service is getting on fine,"
said Mr. Foulke, "in fact it is better
cared for by far and lived up to by
President Roosevelt than by any of
his predecssors. He is a prince of
good fellows and treats everybody
alike. If any man in office goes
wrong the President is after him hot
footed, and does not stop to think
what party he belongs to. If he is
found guilty he is punished and
that's all there is to it."
"How do you like the President a?
a citizen," we ventured to remark?
"He is certainly a splendid citizen
and a great leader among his friends"
said Mr. Foulke. "He is of power
ful build and very athletic. Just to
show you how strong he is I will re
late a little incident. Some time ago
a party were out horse-back riding,
and one of the ladies in the party
met with a mishap and fell down a
cliff. At this juncture the President
came along and seeing the lady was
at a loss to know how to get on her
horse, picked her up, dead weight,
and placed her safely on the animal's
back. This feat required great
strength."

PRESBYTERY
THIS BODY ACTS WITH REFER
ENCE TO THE RESIGNA
TION OF
REV I. M. HUGHES, D. D.
From His Long Pastorate in the First
Church of This City.
We the ministers and elders of
White Water Presbytery assembled
this 19th day of April, do with great
regret accede to the request of Dr.
Hughes and the First church of Rich
mond for the dissolution of the pas
toral relation between them.
We appreciate his long and useful
pastorate and his successful services
during this time. We do also appre
ciate the fact that he has been a pow
er in the Presbytery, having been a
member since its organization, and
during these years giving of his wise
counsel and earnest service for the
advanceemnt of the Lord's Kingdom
in this part of Indiana. We trust
that the same wise counsel and ear
nest service will be retained to us
still for many years to come and that
his influence and power may be a pos
session that White Water Presbytery
may never outgrow.
We, therefore, in acceding to this
request for the dissolution of the long
and useful pastorate, do so with great
regret and with prayer for God's
blessing upon pastor and people in
his good providence for years to come.
We would recommend that Presby
tery commission a delegate to hold a
congratulatory farewell service in
keeping with the ending of such a re
markable pastorate.

Asi we stated Saturday three pris

jail at Eaton, O., and cut across the
country, making their escape good
for a time at leastThey cut their way
out of jail through a two-foot wall
with a tool made from part of the
steam-heating fixtures. It was a very
clever trick and worked splendidly
and the reason that only three escap -
ed was because there were only tnree
in the jail. Officers in Richmond and
elsewhere were notified of the escape

The eleventh annual convention of

VINDICATION
FOR CASSATT
IN THE MATTER 0F INCREAS-
ING THE CAPITAL STOCK
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
FIFTY DIVIDENDS
Show the Effects of the P., C, C. &
St. L. Business, Which is
Outgowing the Road.
A financier, in speaking of Presi
dent Cassatt's administration of the
Pennsylvania and the attacks which
have been made on the property by
hostile interests, says the bear raids
on Pennsylvania have about spent
their force, and the public is begin
ning to realize how unjustly to the
management the criticisms of its
policy in increasing its capital stock
have been. The Pennsylvania shows,
in spite of the adverse conditions of
the late winter, earnings of 9 1-2 per
cent, on its entire Cjapital stock, new
and old, and in spite of the fact of its
new capital has not of itself been
bringing in a cent of revenue beyond
a merely nominal banking increment.
If the great railroad system has in a
given period declined, and under con
ditions of the most unfavorable char
acter been able to carry the burden
of an inactive capitalization of fully
one-fourth its entire capital stoek
there need be no uneasiness as to its
position. The truth is the business
of the railroad is growing so rapidly
that it is unable to handle it all. Its
history of fifty consecutive years of
cash dividends has shown the wisdom
and conservatism of this policy, and
the present showing is a sufficient
refutation of the claims of the bears
and a satisfactory, assurance to its
stockholders of the safety of this
policy as to the future. When the
contemplated improvements are car
ried out the road wrill undoubtedly
show earnings of fully 15 per cent,
of its entire capitalization.
WILL NOT CONFLICT
Dental Association Meeting and May
Festival.
The opening of the Dental Associa
tion's meeting and that of the May
Musical festival occur on the same
night, Wednesday, May 4. Arrange
ments have been made with the den
tists having the matter in charge to
adjourn their meeting at 8:45 p. m.,
thus allowing the dentists to attend
the festival. They will hold their
banquet at 10 :30. So it will be seen
the two meetings will in no wise con
flict. RAINS IN KANSAS.

On His Way to Oratorical Contest at
Winchester.
Winchester, Ind., April 23. Last
night's primary high school oratori
cal contest was signalized by the kid
naping of a senior by several as yet
unknown persons. John Macey, son
of Judge Macey, as president of the
oratorical association, was on the pro
gram for an address of welcome. Ear
ly in the evening he was on his way to
church in company with Chauncey
Canaday, son of Silas Canaday, and
when near the church was waylaid by
five or six men in disguise. He was
taken;in charge by the party, hustled
into a closed carriage and driven out
of town to a lonesome place known as
the Kent Brown woods, because it
was there that Kent Brown, a color
ed barber, was murdered, and there
kept until alomst o'clock. During
the whole time the party had him in
charge they conversed in whispers
and kept their identity concealed.
Young Canada was bound and gagged
and aclose watch kept over him until
the party escaped with Macey, when
he was permitted to proceed to the
contest. Later in the night Macey
was returned to the outskirts of the
town and given his liberty, but too
late for him to attend the contest.
The contest was held at the Metho
dist church, for the purpose of select
ing representatives for a contest with
the . Unionj City High School to ' be
held at the Union YGrand Theatre in
that city on May 13. - v 'tLl
