THE CARNIVAL
AT AN END
AND IT TERMINATES SUCCESS
FULLY FOR THE LOCAL
ORDER OF RED MEN
The Drawing For Horse and Buggy
Will Occur Next Saturday
Night at The Westcott.
ORDER OF RED MEN

Ferari Bros. Flower Moon Carnival
is at an end. Wretched weather har-
rassed the carnival people the first
four nights of the week, and if it
were not for the loyalty Of our peo-
pie, the local Red Men would have to
have gone down deep in their ex-
chequer and pay for losses. But with
the bright sunshine of Friday and
Saturday, the carnival was we'll at
tended and the attractions patronized,
so much so that this morning the Red
Men have a small balance to their
credit.
The drawing for the buggy and
check did not occur Saturday night,
owing to the fact that a large num-
Der Of the tickets are out, and the
committee desires to have settle
ment with every ticket holder before
the drawing takes place. So every
person holding tickets will please
make returns as soon as possible to
the committee in order to enable
them to close up affairs. For this
purpose a meeting will be held next
Friday night at Red Mems hall. The
drawing will take place next Satur-
day night at The Westcott hotel, in
about the same manner as the draw
ing was conducted last year. The
committee to do the drawing will be
selected from the audience.
The local committee in charge Of
the whole carnival, c. w. Gem, Fred
Krone, Geo. Mccoy and Henry
Bloom, deserve great credit for the
able and business like manner in
which they conducted the affairs of
the carnival, and they desire to thank
the citizens Of this city for their
very generous patronage and assist
ance rendered in various ways.

DEBATING CLUB
Of High School Having Debates Ev-
cry Alternate Friday.

Interest in debating in the high
school has revived this term and the
debating club organized some time
since is having good debates every
alternate Friday afternoon at 500
p. m. in the history room. Yesterday
an excellent debate took place on the
question, "Resolved, That Congress
Should Pass Law Fixing the Maxi
mum Amount of Mans Wealth."
The affirmative was upheld by
Monroe Vorhees, Carl Eggemeyer and
Rudolph Hill, and the negative by
Frank Dickinson, Gus Hoelscher and
Lillian Horton.
The decision of the judges was two
to one for the negative.
Next Friday a large audience is
expected to hear the debate on the
question, "Resolved, That Athletics
Are a Detriment to the Students of
the Richmond High School who par
ticipate and to the High School It
self"

GOOD RESULTS
Of the Project Sprung at State Med
ical Meeting.

AS an outgrowth Of the meeting
of the Indiana State Medical Associ-
alton, which was held in Indianapo
lis last week. an anti-tuberculosis So
ciety of Indiana will probably be
formed before many weeks. Such a
society was discussed in an informal
way at the meetings and since the
adjournment of the convention sem
timent in favor of the proposed soci-
ETY. has grown rapidly. Many doc
tors of indianapolis, notably among
them DR.. J. N. Hurry, secretary of
the State Board of Health, are warm
ly advocating the new movement.

Ion. SMYSER'S
BRAVE DEED
HE SAVES THE LIFE OF AN
WOOD
LADY.
---
HIS PROMPT ACTION
The Bravery of Richmond Engineer
Praised by Elwood Peo-
pie.
HIS PROMPT ACTION

Engineer Lon Smyser Of this city,
who takes the accommodation
through between Richmond and Lo-
gansport and then back again, has
once more proven himself hero.
Yesterday morning at Elwood, Mrs.
Jane DeHoritv started across the
back way to the poultry house anf
attempted to cross the track in front
of the west bound accommodation,
which arrives in Elwood at $50 a.
m. According to Mr.. .Smyser's state
ment, the train was upon her before
she realized it. Engineer Smyser saw
her danger and put on all brakes.
Those who witnessed the incident say
that the engine fairly rose from the
rails and that the train came to
stop within a few feet. AS it was
the pilot grazed the wrap worn by
Mrs. DeHority, and the hesitation of
a second might have resulted in life
long injury, if not death itself.
1t was one of the most narrow es-
capes from serious injury or from
death ever seen in Elwood, and many
people who witnessed it could scarce
ly believe, even when they saw it,
that no serious consequences had re-
suited.
Mr.. Smyser has the reputation Of
being one Of the best engineers on
the road and at divers times has
demonstrated his ability to prove
that he was master Of the "iron
horse.' A short time ago he stopped
his train to prevent some little chill
dren from being run down on tres
tie, just west Of town and on several
other occasions has demonstrated her
oism

Ohio DEMOCRATS
Conferences Being Held Concerning
the State Convention.
(By Associated Press.)

Columbus, O., May 23.-Confer-
ences are in order concerning the
Democratic state convention. The
only certainty as to the state ticket
is that Webb P. Huntington, Colum-
bus, has no opposition for secretary
of state. No candidates have been
mentioned for the other Offices. The
possible contest between friends of
Col. James Kilbourne and Judge
Harmon will result in no preference
for any presidential candidate. 1t is
certain no instructions will be given

POLICE COURT DOINCs.
Boys Quarreled and One of Them
Came Ont With Broken Collar Bone

John Westir furnished the only bust.
ness that was heard by Judge Burped
in the city court to-day. He was
charged with assaulting a fellow em-.
ploye named Joseph Pit1uccione. Both
are young fellows and Petruccione is
twice the size of Westir. Lit seemed
to have been case of Italy VS. Swe-
den. The evidence was very contra-
dictory. Witnesses for the state testi-
fled the trouble originated with the
Swedish boy setting upon the Italian
boy, the latter being a stranger in the
Scoyill manufacturing plant, where
both are employed. However, it res
suited in the italian boy having his
collar bone broken on the left side.
Witnesses for the defense said the
boys We're merely 'foOling uLtil the
Italian undertook to strike the other
boy with a chunk of brass, whereupon
Westir buckled into him and threw
him. Sentence was suspended.

named Mae Chapman for intoxication

GIRL IN TRANCE
THIRTY.SIX HOURS
Tho Physician Gould Not Arouse
Her, spiritualist Was
Successful.

Berkeley, Cal, Sept. 2s.-To remain
in a trance for nearly thirty-six hours,
during which time physician exerted
every effort to arouse her, and to be
finally awakened by a spiritualist, was
the strange experience OF Miss Bertha
at the home Of J. @. Aitken, 1898 Chan

came to light today, altho the girl was
aroused from the trance late Sunday
night.
Miss Young fell asleep Saturday
afternoon while talking with number
of friends who were visiting at the
a congregation when she suddenly fell
back in her chair, apparently in a dead
faint. Restoratives were resorted to in
order to awaken the girl, but all efforts
failed and doctor was summoned.
| The physician worked over Miss Young
for several hours Saturday night, but
day he made several unsuccessful at
tempts to restore her to consciousness,
but met with defeat. AS a last resort
spiritualist was sent for. After ut
tering strange lamentations and making
passes over the sleeping girl the spirit
ualist told her to awaken, and to the
surprise Of those who witnessed the per

For while she was somewhat daled
and in an uncertain state of mind, but
she soon recovered her normal condi

her long sleep.
"This is not the first time Miss
Young has been in q trance,' said Miss
Aitken. "Some time ago she had {
similar experience. When the ,physi
