Two commitments to the BOYS

as II years oldlast January In it, as
in all other instances. the parents
sign away all their rights of con.
troll, transferring the same to the
society, which is to have full con-
troll of the child until majority S
reached.
The scene attending each of the
two melancholy ceremonies was full
of pathos. The Lewis girl passed
to the court house, walking between
the fother and mother, all of the
trio in tears over the pending sep
aration. The sight was one that
ought, had they seen it, TO have
awakened feelings of remorse in
the young scamps responsible for
the girls trouble, who is but a
child, both in mind and years Miss
Lewis was eaken to Portland yes

The otter commitment carried
with it another tragedy Of mind
and heart. The mother is Miss

Marx had said would never be taken
alive, being the first to do SO. A few
minutes afterwards Van Dine aban-
doned the fight.
While Van Dine and Neidermeie1
were giving themselves up, Roeski
fled to the woods beyond Liverpool.
The posse found him later in rail-
road station at Aetna, waiting for
train to Chicago. He made no resist
ance, was disarmed, and brought to
the city with the two other bandits.
Detective Driscoll, who was shot
by Neidermeier, died four days later.
While in Jail Neidermeier smiling
boasted of having killed twenty-three
men. Marx asserted that he had
murdered five. Investigation proved
the statements to be untrue. 1t de-
veloped that these confessions had
been made to obtain notoriety, or for
as small consideration as a chew of
tobacco. Of the eight known victims
of the bandits, four are thought to
have been killed by Neidermeier alone

IN GIRARDIN'S PICTURE

The Cincinnati Art club. of which
Mr.. Glrardin is a member. and which
is one of the most exclusive art Or
CARNATIONS in the west, having in its
membership a number of the best
known painters in the country, paid
Mr. Girardin high compliment again
this year in having one of his two
pictures now on exhibit at their
eleventh spring exhibition reproduced
in their catalogue, the only member
who also had picture thus repro
duced last year to have one again so
placed this year. The picture makes
far the most striking in this years
book and goes to show that Girardin s
pictures possess pictorial qualities of
an unusually high order to be so eff
fective when seen only in the me-
dunn Of black or white, bereft of
their abounding color and light, two
of his chief characteristics. Last year
Mr.. Girardin's prize picture, Cling
ering Snow,' was also reproduced.
The "Post'' says of Mr.. Girardin's s
landscape, in a brief article covering
the whole exhibition:
"Frank J. Girardin. the Indiana
artist, has two landscapes, 'Autumn's
Evening and "September Morning.
both full Of the ardent love of nature
which always characterizes Girardin s
landscapes.
Another interesting picture repro
duced also in the catalogue is August
Goeser's, "The MILL" (Richmond,

canvas, the subject being Tests mill,
south of town, when in Richmond last
season. The exhibition continues open

Record in the Chair Will Stand
Alongside of Any of His
Predecessors.

As the time for the city election
approaches the changes of the Demo
Gratis for success becomes Simmer.
We have no reason to 60 back on the
city administration We have good
city, clean city, healthy city.
There is scarcely a city IN the state
as we'll off from a sanitary stand
point as is Richmond. With a doc
tor as mayor and Dr. Davis as health
officer we have every reason to be
thankful. Our tax rate is lower than
most cities Of the size of Richmond
in the state; our system of schools IS
far above the average the death rate
is low and everything is favorable to
the present incumbent of the office.
DIR. w. w. Zimmerman, now, for the
third time, has put his case IN the
hands of our citizens. On two prev
ious occasions they have decided In
favor of him, and. at the election next
Tuesday week, he will get larger
vote than he ever got before. There
are several reasons for this.
First. He has made as good amayor
as this city ever had, and, in some in
stances, better.
Second. There is no reason why
loyal Republicans should not stand
bv the ticket as nominated.
Third This is presidential year,
and it would not look well to have
Richmond go Democratic in the face
of a campaign.
1t beehooves Republicans to stand
by the party and vote the straight
ticket.

give the Hearst men a hearing. He
said:
"We did. They got the applause
and we got the delegates. What more
could they ask for"
As there were only five Hearst dele
