TWO INDIANA
RAILROAD MEN
TAKING ACTIVE PART IN MAX
ING TRAFFIC ARRANGE
MENTS
FOR THE ST. LOUIS FAIR
One of them Ed. E. Kearney, For
merly of This City With the
Panhandle.

St. Louis, Jan. 1.-Two Indiana
men are high in authority here in the
arrangements that are being made by
the ST. Louis Terminal Railroad as
sociation, which controls the terminal
privileges here in the arrangements
that are being made to handle the
great passenger and freight traffic
that is expected when the Louisiana
Purchase exposition viii be in prog
ress. They are E. F. Kearney, for
merly trainmaster of the l. & Y. at
Indianapolis, and Charles Vinnedge,
former auditor of the Indianapolis
Union railway. Mr.. Kearney is SUI
perintendent in charge of the improve
ments and Mr.. Vinnedge is auditor.
Work on the improvement is pro-
crossing nicely.
The five big express buildings
through which will pass the great
majority of the hundreds of thous-
ands of exhibits to be made at the ex-
position are nearing completion and
the work of tearing down the build
ings will commence next week. The
new power house is completed and
the new Brooklyn shops on the east
side of the river are ready for occu-
patton.
TIE work on the new interlocking
stations which will guarantee and Sc
cure the safety of the hundreds Of
trains which will make their way dai-
ly into the Union station has been
commenced and the new engine house
at the Union station are under way.
As soon as the old express buildings
are out of the way the Terminal as
sociation will be able to complete the
big subway through which baggage,
mail and freight is to be handled.
The plan to build the celebrated
loop to the exposition grounds has
been abandoned because the city has
refused to grant a franchise.
The Ed. F. Kearney mentioned
above lived In this city for quite a
while and was connected with the
Panhandle. He was very popular in
business way as well as socially.

new PROPERTIES
.
Claimed to have been DiScov-
cred by the Wonderful
Radium.

New York, Jan H. That radium
will impart its radio-activity to other
bodies in its immediate environment
has now been demonstrated by DR.
Samuel G. Tracy, of 240 west one
hundred and second street.
In an article which will appear in
the New York Medical Journal DIR.
Tracy gives an account of his expert
ments with radium and what he terms
induced radio-activity.
He has found that by treating a
normal salt solution, or solution IN
which there is the same proportion of

THE STATE GEOLOGIST SAYS
WE ARE RICHER IN THE
PRECIOUS STONE
THAN ANY OTHER STATE
Company Organized for Purpose of
Producing Gold and Discover
ing Precious Stones.

Indiana is richer in diamonds than
any other state in the Union. Do
not try to discount this statement by
saying that the other states are very
poor as diamond fields. It is an ac-
tual fact that diamonds have been
found in Indiana large enough to be
recognized and to be cut by the lapi-
dary. State Geologist Blatchley, in
the intervals between hammering
stone, washing gravel for gold, chas-
ing butterflies and hunting bugs for
his collection, also has found dia-
monds. A company is being organ
lied for the business of producing
gold and discovering precious stones
in Indiana. and we have reason to
hope that In time Indiana will be
able to meet with its own diamonds
the demand which will come from
that class which now IS amassing
riches in the fields of black diamonds,
which are the always reliable founda-
ton Of the states progress and
wealth.

salt as is found in human blood, with
radium, the solution is capable of
then imparting radio-activity to 9TH
er bodies.
That the radiations of radium pos
sess marked germicidal and anti-fer-
mentative actions is an established
fact, and the same is true of the salt
solution, which has been impregnated
with radio activity.
Should the cheap solution possess
ing radio activity prove to have the
properties enthusiasts claim for it
within the next few years the treat
ment of malignant diseases, stomach
and other internal troubles will be
completely revolutionized.
Local physicians are now treating
a number of patients in the city hos
pitfalls suffering from cancer, and are
with the results obtained
with radium.

WILDE FOOLED BY HOAX
Reputable Physicians Never Pre-
Scribe the Maidstone Except
to Take Away Fear.

The following articles will be of
interest here since we hear SO much
about the Bundy maidstone at New
Castle. The Bundy stone has quite
a reputation in these parts, and a
great many persons have been alleged
to have been cured by it.
Indianapolis, Jan. 11.-The cura-
tive virtues of maidstone for hydro
phobia to which the victims of the
dog that ran rampant here a few days
ago have resorted, are denie>' by
State Geologist Blatchley, who says
only the ignorant and the supersti-
tious will be fooled by such a hoax.
The maidstone is not acknowledged
by either geologists or mineralogists,
he says. 1t consists of some por rus
bone material usually, or some de-
cayed rock material that often has
the power Of clinging, but not always
that Of absorbing. He says that the
maidstone can have no beneficial eff
feet except that Of the mental relief
brought to the person who has been
bitten by having the stone adhere.
Mr.. Blatchley insists that persons
bitten by mad dogs and in danger of
having hydrophobia should go to the
Pasteur Institute, Chicago, where the
disease is cured practically In every
case.
DIR. Hurty, of the state board Of
health, saws that the belief In the
power Of the maidstone is the result
of ignorance. Reputable physicians,
it is said, never prescribe the mad
stone, except to relieve the patient of
fear of the disease when there is nc
danger of it.
John Kirkpatrick, the colored
coachman, who was bitten by dog
thought to be mad, last Wednesda-s.
is still taking treatment with a mad
stone. Kirkpatrick was bitten on
the wrist and when the stone was
applied it adhered to his wrist. This
is regarded there as an indication
that kirkpatrick S system was pois-
oned.
Walker BRAY. the young son of I
Ed S. Bray, who was taken to Terre
Haute for treatment with a mad I
stone, has returned. The stone failed /
to adhere to the boys hand after an
hours trial.

DITIoN TO THE GENNETT A
OPERA HOUSE.
WITH MODERN PLANS.
Will Be Constructed Property
of Daniel Stratton.

The Gennetts have purchased the
old blacksmith shop in the rear of
the Gennett theater, and will build
an addition to the same in the near
future. The plans for the new build
ing are in the hands of Architect
Hasecoster, and, when completed,
viii show quite an up-to-date addi-
ton. The owners will keep in mind
the fact of fire protection in the mat
ter OF construction, and say that,
when completed, the Gennett will be
not only "swell," but safe in case
of fire.

Gave Splendid Account of Build
ings Machinery, Etc. Basket
Ball.

In chapel this morning Prof w. A.
Fiske gave very interesting lecture
on the Universal Exposition to be
held this summer at st. Louis. Prof.
Fiske returned last week from at
tending the meeting of the presidents
of the n. E. A at st. Louis.
He gave a very fine account of
some of the buildings that have
been erected, especially the machin-
cry hall and the installation of the
sources Of power, together with an
account of the monstrosities in the
way of engines, both gas and steam,
to be found there.
The largest gas engine In the world
will be on exhibition in this hall, with
fywheel % feet In diameter and
cylinder large enough for horse to
walk through. I'e spoke of the way
In which the grouA IS were laid out,
in the form of fan, with the fine
Festival Building as the rivet of the
fam Tn this building the largest or
gan that has ever been made will be
placed, with pipes large enough for
horse to walk through. Prof. Fiske
spoke for quite a while on the largest
buildings and mentioned the fact that
at this Exhibition for the first time
there VIII be a separate building for
education. Prof. Fiske S talk was
exceedingly interesting, and was
greatly enioyed by the students.
This morning for the first time the
idea was brought up of forming a
party to go to the fair, thus getting
reduced railroad rates with the added
privilege of being with friends. Re
Gently a party made an excursion to
Wyandotte Cave, Indiana, and the
trip to the Universal Exposition will
be conducted in the same manner.
Friday night the High School bas-
ketball team suffered the first defeat
of the season. The defeat is due
only to- the fact that, while Rich
mond played well, Columbus played
better and more scientifi" rame
and deserved to win. At first Zach
mond played a fast game but it was
plain to all that they could not win
against Columbus. The final score
was AZ to g For Richmond, Conn
and Decker played the best game.
Eggemeyer was out of the game on
account of the refusal of his parents
to allow him to play and thus Rich
mond was deprived of one of their
best players and one on whom the
team always relied to roll up a large
score. The absence Of Captain
Ross was greatly felt, although Sands
did his best to make the team work
in harmony Clifton Williams, of
this city, accompanied the team and
acted as referee. Lineup:
Gennett, forward
Decker, forward.
Sands, center.
