Mrs. Hamilton is not only one of
the most prominent actresses on the
American stage, but she is one Of
the wealthiest. Her father, Chris
tian pepper, of st. Louis, has one Of
the largest tobacco factories in that
city, 1t is probable that Miss Edna
pepper, a sister of Mrs. Hamilton,
will attend the performance in this
city and will be the guest of Miss
Frances Campbell, with whom she
formerly went to school at National
Park Seminary.
Mr.. Hale Hamilton was a student
at Harvard University and his court

OIL REFINERY
Is Being Talked of by Nun cie Oil
Men.

Muncie, Ind, November 30-There
is a movement on foot among the
large producers of this section to-
ward establishing a refinery at a
centrally located city near the East
ern Indiana field, and the laying Of
pipe line that will connect the Mum
Gle and Marion fields with the plant.
The proposition hash cen discussed
ed generally, and it is meeting with
much favor, but as yet no one has
come forth with enough enthusiasm
to take the iniative in this big un
dertaking. While ultimately it would
undoubtedly be purchased by the
Standard Oil company, it is general
ly conceded that it would be good
proposition financially.
Several refneries of a like nature
have been erected in other fields,and
while they primarily fought the
Standard Oil company and eventual
ly lost, they were regarded as good
investments. All these refneries
were purchased by the Standard Oil
company within a short time after
their opening.
The producers in the local field are
of the opinion that such a plant will
be begun within short time. They
believe that next spring will wit
ness its completion, but so far there
has not been any action toward its
construction.

PROPHET D0W|E
Was in the City Tuesday Morning
En- Route to Florida.

John Alexander Dowie, "Elijah
IL" passed through Richmond Tues
day morning, but none got even a
good look at his sanctimoniousness.
J. Alexander was sleeping peaceful
ly in his palatial private car, the
Halsemere, when the train pulled in
from indianapolis. That the "Pro-
phet' was in the car was only
known to the train crew and a few
railroad men. An effort to get Dow
les blessing was thwarted by the
porter who announced that he had
not prepared himself for mingling
with the people.
]. Alex was taking his wife to
Florida in hopes that the climate
there will do what his prayers have
been unable to do-restore her
health. During the critical stages Of
her illness Mrs. Dowie did not re-
ceive any medical attention and her
condition is serious. A corps Of as
sistants was in the car to minister
to the wants of the "Prophet" and
his wife. Dowie, it is said, will not
appear in public on the trip.

INJUNCTION
SUIT FILED

STEAM AT MILTON
THE CASE IS PECULIAR
Connersville Hydraulic Company Are
Made the Defendants in the
Case.

sat a late hour Tuesday afternoon
Elmer Lowery and Oliver c. Moore,
hinder the firm name of Moore, Low
cry & Dayton Warren, proprietors OF
va planning mill at Milton, filed an
injunction suit against Connersville
|. Hydraulic company, Francis T. Root
! and b. Tanner. Tuesday evening
Judge Fox issued a temporary re-
straining order against the defend
ants. Z he suit was brought by the
Moore, Lowery & Warren company
to prohibit the defendants from the
work Of diverting the channel of a
{ small stream in Washington town
ship from its present course.
Sixty years ago this small stream
had its channel changed so as to
have it flow into the Whitewater Ca
nal. Since that time the planning
mill Of the plaintiffs has been erect
ed. The Connersville Hydraulic
company furnishes water for the
town of Connersville and recently
began work erecting culvert under
the canal IN order that the stream
would take its original course and
flow into the Whitewater river. The
object is to rid the canal Of the re-
q -.and- waste, Tb2 proprietors, OF. I.
The mill allege that If the stream IS
allowed to take its natural course
their property will be damaged.
The case is a peculiar one, an in
teresting point involved being wheth-
er or not a stream, being once divert
ed from it's original course can be
restored to that course, even though
property may be damaged by the
change.

MINSTREL SHOW
Makes a Hit at the Gennett Theater
Yesterday.

Harry Webb and John Dove were
easily the stars of Hi Henry's big
minstrel show at the Gennett yes
terday afternoon and last evening.
These two comedians are very clever
in black face work and made a big
hit with both audiences. Dove had
probably the best chance to exhibit
himself as his songs were both very
good and in his sketch with James
Corrigan he had a good chance to
show his powers as a dancer. The
sketch Of Corrigan and Dove was the
best thing on the entire olio. Taken
as a whole the show was very good
one for a minstrel. Mr.. Henry him
self in we'll known to Richmond audi
ences as he has played here a num-
ber of times. He uses about the
same program as when here last
year. Mr.. Henry has surrounded his
stars with very good chorus this
year. The olio was made up Of the
following we'll known people, Dove
and Corrigan, Brothers Latoy, Harry
L. Webb and the Bartelli Troupe of
European acrobats. The fine band
and orchestra is a feature of the
show

rio Diaz, with Vice-President Ramon
Coral was inaugurated here today
amid the most brilliant military dip
!. lomatic and social display in the his

ton which is at its height today, will
continue for several days and will
ebe in the nature of a popular testl-
monial to show the esteem in which
President Diaz is held by his people.
The inauguration is remarkable for
three main reasons, viz: The contln-
uance in office of Diaz, who enters
upon his eighth consecutive term;
the installation Of Corral, the first
vice-president of the Republic and
the extension Of the presidential
term from four to six years.
Among the features of the celebra-
tion is a big fair. The Examinations
of the ground of the national pal
ace tonight will also be wonderful
display as thousands of dollars have
been spent in setting them up. Spec
ial commemorative one-cent pieces
have also been coined for the occa-
sion, bearing the bust of President
Diaz, and $4,000 of these will be
distributed during the national fete,
tThirteen thousand dollars was spent
in preparing for the civil parade and
tonight's inaugural ball to be held
in the school of mines building will
srepresent cost Of nearly $4,000,
all of which has come out of the
pockets of friends of the president.
The diplomatic corps was brilliantly
represented at today's ceremonies
andsa cordial reception was rendered

dor from the United States as he

Man Who Advertised for a Wife
Finds She Chews.

Wanted-To correspond with
gentleman with view to matri-

Such was the advertisement insert
ed in a Chicago poper on September
2l, which attracted the attention of
John A. Brooks of Delaware coun-
ty. He wrote to the author of the
"ad.' Three days later, September
"A, the two met and We're married.
Two weeks after the wedding Brooks
discovered that Mrs. Brooks chewed
tobacco.
The final chapter will be heard in
the Delaware circuit court soon, for
in an application for divorce, made
yesterday, Brooks makes a number
of sensational and remarkable
charges against his wife, of whose
whereabouts at present he claims to
be in ignorance.
The account of an attack made up
on him by his wife is part of the
complaint. He alleges that she
struck and slapped him in the face
before friends and neighbors, he be-
ing unwilling to protect himself be-
cause his assailant was woman.
He also alleges that Mrs. Brooks
was an inveterate user of tobacco
and also Of chloroform, and that she
deserted him after only two weeks
of welded Life

THE TEAM AT ELWOOD
Will be Strengthened by New Play
ers-Joint Meeting of Both the
Leagues to be Held Sunday.

At a meeting Of the managers of
the Western Polo League at Ander-
son yesterday afternoon each team
manager posted a forfeit of $1,000
to finish the season. This will stop
all further movements to go into
the Central League. 1t was decided
to continue on the same percentage
basis. David Durbin, who was pres
ent, said that he did not attempt to
get into the Central League, and
told the other managers not to be-
lieve all they saw in the papers. 1t
is probable that goal tender Lations
will be hired to take the place of
Starkie, who is now holding down
the front of the cage for Elwood. A
number of new plans were made to
strengthen the Elwood team and it is
likely that a number Of new players
will be imported from the East. Tom
Murphy is metioned as a possible
recruit to the Greys. If he is signed
he will take the place of O'Mally. A

Central and Western League will be
held in indianapolis on Sunday aft
