SENSATION
IS TO MARK
NEW EFFORT TO GET Wanda
LA RAILROAD TAX
old SCANDALS TO Be seen
Populations of Former Members of
Legislature in Danger From
Exposure.

indianapolis, December 17.-The
determination of the State to push
it's claim for $3,Ooo,00O against the
Vandalia railroad company, even at
the expense of a sensational exposure
of the alleged questionable methods
by which the railroad company pre-
vented investigation and settlement
for so many years, has caused a SEN
sation in State official circles. The
suit is expected to reveal a chapter
of the unwritten history Of the
State which is full of sensational
episodes and which will be a severe
reflection upon men who fell before
the Establishments and temptations
held out by the company.
The story of the effort to force a
settlement with the Vandalia is preg-
nant with dramatic incidents and is
not wanting in tragedy. There was
connected with it a man of State
reputation, conceded ability as a
lawyer and acknowledged probity as
a judge, who practically was driven
from the bench, forced out of his
profession and finally went into the
saloon business as the only means
open to him of making a living.
The Vandalia railroad company
was organized in 1S47, and applied
to tie legislature for special char
ter of privileges. Tt was provided
in the charter that certain per
cent. of the roads gross earnings
should 60 to the State for the bene-
fit of the school fund. The road
was built and operated under this
charter, and from the first it was a
paying property.
Nearly twenty years passed before
the State asked for an accounting
The company showed no disposition
to respond and the legislature ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
The committee found the road die
not owe the State anything. The
next legislature appointed another
committee and it made a similar re
port. The next committee did not
do any better.
In the meantime it was openly
charged that the committees hat
been bought up by the railroad com
pany. Then came the open charge
that as pecial committee consisting
of three men had received $4,000
from the company for making a re
port adverse to the State.
Resort to Court Fails.
Convinced that nothing could b.
expected of the legislature, tn
State brought suit and the case wa
taken to Owen county. Judge Jane
Hester was on the bench. The jur,
retired early in the afternoon an
at O'Clock the next morning tn

CLOSED TIGHT
Was Richmond Saloons All Day Yes
terday-Nothing Doing.

Yesterday saw no change in the
Sunday closing reform which the po-
lice took up several days ago. All
of the bars in the business section
were closed up tight and it was very
hard for any one to have his thirst
quenched. No, card games were
running in the rear of the cigar
stores as is usually the case. Taking
it all together Richmond was very
close town all day yesterday.

MONEY IS STILL COMING

Friday morning, December %, the
Palladium will stop receiving con-
tributions for the fund to purchase
Christmas presents for the poor chill
dren of the city. If the money con-
tinues to come in at the rate it has
been for the past several days the
800 mark should be reached by that
date. and there are hopes that the
fund viii exceed this sum.
On Friday morning of this week
at 10 o'clock the members of the
Christmas fund committee: Mrs.
George Smith, Mrs. John Kamp,
Miss Mary Shiveley, Mrs. Joseph
Beck and Miss Kate VanDusen, will
meet ait the Palladium Office, where
the fund will be turned over to them.
! These ladies will then purchase the
many gifts that are to cheer the poor
little waits of the city and on Sat
urdav evening, Christmas eve, Santa
Clause will deliver the presents in
a big express wagon to the children.
1t has been urged that the receiv-
ing of these Christmas bundles is in
no sense accepting charity, and it
has been the aim to seek out for re-
menbrance the children who through
unfortunate circumstances might be
pi ssapn C christmas day. It is. hop
ed that they will receive the packages
in the same spirit in which theil
friends have provided them.
There is no greater blessing thar
that of giving, and the best exempli
fcation of this truth will be founC
in the hundreds of home where sad
ness will have been turned to JOY
through the unexpected visit Of San
ia Claus on Christmas eve.

TIE Greatest 1hInE Ia The World.

The Greatest Thng IN the
World,n presented a. the Grand
opera house last night By Rose
Coghlan and an entirely competent
company, will be remembered by
Galveston theatergoers as one ef
the treats Of the season. The play
is drama by Harriet Ford and
Beatrice De Mile. That It's au-
thors must have been women 10 APP
parent throughout the play, for 1t Is
hard matter TO imagine that q man
could realize maternal love to the
degree 1t is shown. There are many
strong and tender scenes in the
play, and to all of them Miss Rose
Coghlan was equal. Hers is not the
ranting style of acting. Ranting
would have spoiled many of the sit
nations, which were most intense,
and whose intensity was largely due
to Miss Coghlan's subdued, deep
and repressive manner of interpret
| ing them. At only one time was
there an outburst, and then there
could have been no other natural
thing. That was when the mother
broke down upon learning of her
sons criminal act in raising the
figures on a check which had been
given him by the guardian OF his
younger BROTHER Galveston News.
Miss Coghlan will be seen at the
opera house tomorrow night. Tick
cts now on sale. Prices SOC Zoe,

The Wise Orchestra has been en-
gagged to furnish music for this
great production, and in all, will be

In all the Baking Powder WARS that have
been internationally waged in the last twenty
years there is one point that has been over
looked by the belligerent makers of the goods.
Rival manufacturers have contented them
selves with accusing their competitors of MAX
ing an unwholeSome product. The question of
keeping quality, and, therefore, efficiency in
raising bread, the only purpose for which bak-
ing powder is used, appears to have been gen.
orally ignored. There are many powders
which when fresh and the can is first uncover
ed, will do fairly good work, but after standing
for some time on the pantry shelf, the power
becomes so weak as to be almost worthless as
far as raising bread is concerned. This is es-
pecially true in the case of the so,called
Phosphate powers which, were it not for
this fatal defect, would be satisfactory baking
powers. The unsuccessful attempts to over
come this fault of the Phosphate" powders
has enlisted the services of more chemists and
cost more money than the solution of any
other problem connected with the raising of
bread. The makers of these phosphate"
powders raise great cry about the wonder
full healthfulneSS of their product, but what
matters all this if the powder will not fulfill
the only object for which it is purchased?
The housewife to whom economy is an object
will avoid these Phosphate powders.
