He MADE ANNUALLY $4,000

One Of the record breaking suits
for damages was filed yesterday in
the Wayne circuit court by George
w. Schepman, through his attorneys
Shiveley & Shiveley, for $4,000
from the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chi
,cago & St. Louis railroad for injur-
les received on that road the first
of the year.
It will be remembered that Mr..
Schepman fell from the platform Of
train on February q, while en-
route from Indianapolis to Rich
lso4l and his right leg was egushed
and mangled SO badly that it was
necessary to amputate it..
Mr.. Shecpman in his petition
states that he left Indianapolis at
$50 on the evening of February 27
and that he was a passenger on a
p, c., c. & st. L. train "advertis-
ed to the public as a solid vestibule
train" He was riding in the day
coach and shortly after the train
started he became suddenly ill and
went to the closet, but it was locked
and then he attempted to pass from
the day coach into the car in the
rear of it, which was combination
car. He believed the platforms be-
tween the two cars were vestibuled
and as he stepped on the platform he
was hurled from it to the ground by
the lurching of the train which was
at that time in the eastern limits of
Indianapolis and running at the rate
Of SO miles an hour.
Mr.. Schepman AYERS that the rail-
road company carelessly, wrongfully
and negligently made up the train
by placing combination car be-
tween the passenger coach and the
Pullman sleepers, dining and other
cars. He states that the baggage
end of the combination car was next
to the passenger coach, on which he
was riding, and that the platform
was only Is inches in width, had no
guard anr rails and was not light
ed, though it was night.
When thrown from the platform,
the plaintiff says that he fell on his

ROLLER SKATING
Bids Fair to Become as Popular as
of Old.

Once more roller skating is all the
rage. Last evening at the Coliseum
large crowd spun about the chalk
ed floor to the music of the band and
to the spectators the scene recalled
the old days at the Main street rink,
when roller skating was at the
heighth of it's popularity. In the
afternoon a fair sized crowd was
also on the floor. Many of the skat-
ers last evening made their first ap-
pearance on roller skates for two
years or more and their first efforts
were slightly wobbly, but after two
Or three trips about the floor the
glide came back to them and every
thing was lovely. The Coliseum man.
agement furnishes all skaters with
ball bearing skates without extra
charge. ....

PREDICTS RETURN OF CHRIST
"E!ijah H." Declares Savior viii Re-
turn to Earth This Century.

The return of Christ to earth
within hundred years and his reign
here for 1000 years following is the
latest prophecy of John Alexander
DoWie, Elijah III" that has stirred
his followers as we'll as those outside
of Zion.
DoWie made his sensational an
nouncement during a long harangue at
Zion City, in which he sought to ex-
plain some peculiar business methods
principally the issuing of leases for
100 years. He gave the prophecy OF
Christ's return in this connection, and
also said he would return with the
Savior, their return being directed to
Zion City itself. The end of Christs
reign Of 1000 years, the 'prophet' an
nOunced, would mark the demolition of
the earth by smashing up the destruc-
ton Of the bad by fire and the calling
of the good to their reward.
Dowie declared that if, after he dies
nfidels should in any way get hold Of
zion lanQS ana carry on thelr ca
rousals, that he will himself return
to earth and order them all off the sa-
cred ground, as the title to the land
will never pass from him.
RidicuIes the Jewish Movement.
DOWie ridiculed the Jewish move
ment. and said that it is merely real
estate speculation. He prays that the
Jews will hear his voice and recog-
nize in him Elijah the Prophet. In
other words, DOWie declares that be-
fore returning to rebuild Jerusalem
the Jews must accept him as Elijah
and take him for their leader back to
the Holy City.

distribution of this huge sum, as in
the past, is expected to stimulate the

will naturally remain firm while pre-

a shifting of funds from one bank to

will likely be temporary only.
