LUqHBRAuS
Are Very Short on Preachers and
Teachers.

Indianapolis, Ind, August Sat
the meeting of the middle district of
the Missouri synod of the German
Evangelical Lutheran church, held at
the Lutheran church at Ohio and East
streets, committee was appointed to
investigate the sanitarium for con-
sumptives in Denver with a view to
establishing a similar institution in
this synod, in which the States of In
diana, Ohio and Kentucky are includ-
ed.
The Rev. C. C. Schmidt, president
of the Missouri synod, said in his re-
port that there is a great scarcity of
German ministers and teachers. With
145 calls for ministers in the church
there were only seventy candidates.
With seventy demands for teachers
in the parochial schools there were on
ly twenty-seven candidates. This is
explained by the fact that it requires
nine years Of preparation for the min
listers and just nine years ago there
were such hard times that the young
men did not attend school,

UNCLE bob"
HILL IS DEAD
WAS A WE'LL KNOWN AND PIC
TUREsQUE CHARACTER
FOR THIRTY-FlVE YEARS
In All That Time He Has Labored
Faithfully for the Grubbs
Family.
FOR THIRTY-FlVE YEARS

One Of the best known and most
picturesque characters in Richmond,
Mr.. Robert Hill, known to everyone
as "Uncle Bob," died this morning
at s o'clock, at his home, 4O4 South
Sixth street. Mr.. Hill, or "Uncle
Bob," as he was called by everyone
who knew him, was one of the few re-
naming figures of genuine antebellum
days, he having been a slave on the
plantations of North Carolina, before
coming to this city, where he has been
in the service Of the Grubbs family
for thirty-five years, first entering
the family during the lifetime of Mr..
John W .Grubbs, who died some years
ago and who established the wholesale
house of The John W. Grubbs Com
pany, Mr.. Grubbs being at that time
the editor of the Palladium. The
Grubbs family is one of the oldest and
most substantial in this section of the
State and "Uncle Bob' continued
with Mrs. w. S. Starr, Mr.. Grubbs'
daughter, and Mrs. John Y. Pound
stone, and other members of Mr..
Grubbs' family after the death of
the former. "Uncle Bob" was one
of that type of old family retainers
becoming rarer every day in this
country, and in addition to his pic
turesqueness, had a certain historic
interest IN being a survival of the
"days before the war;" He was a
lovable character and his death has
caused sincere grief among all those
who knew him.

PROSPECTS OF SUCCESS
What Mr.. Brant Says About the
Wells-Certain to Get Oil in
Quantities.
(Special to the Palladium


Hagerstown, Aug. 5.-As Cam
k.sfidge City has organized company
to drill for oil here, / will give you
some idea of the prospects in this ter
ritory. -.....
The gas is about exhausted and the
oil is making it's appearance In sew
eral of our gas wells, and when that
has been the case oil has always been
found in paying quantities. Mr..
Brant has pumped more than so bar
rels of oil out Of his oil well. The
first we'll put down by the Cambridge
company will be about 400 feet from
the Bryant well. 1t will be drilled
into the second sand of the Trenton
rock, which will be about 800 feet
deeper than they drill for gas here,
and the promoters feel confident OF
striking oil in paying quantities. The
Cambridge Co. has secured leases in
and near this place on several hun
dred acres. KEITH.

SUFFERS FROM A run"
Started by Strikers Whs Did It to
Get Even With the Bank OH
cials.
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, August 5.-A run began
today on the Drovers' Deposit bank
at the main entrance to the stock
yards. The vice president of the bank
says the demand is senseless and was
caused by general excitement at the
yards The bank s resources and lia-
bilities are nearly six million dollars.
Chicago, August 5.-The run on the
Drovers' Trust and Savings Bank at
the stock yards is said to be organized
by strikers in retaliation for the Off
GERS of the bank favoring the packers
by paying the strike breakers thus
giving them advantage over the slow
system Of packers in paying by check.
The Drovers' Deposit National Bank
has quarters in the same building and
is the local correspondent of the Drov-
ers' Trust and Savings Bank.

Scholarship.

Rhodes scholarship from Indiana has
already made application for entrance
into Balllol college, Oxford. Here he
will pursue a course Of study cen
tering mainly on political science and
philosophy. The term begins October
13.
Owing to the fact that applications
for entrance into colleges at Oxford
must ordinarily be made in June, Mr..
Hamilton may be compelled to enter
another college of the university. In
this case he will go to Christ Church
college. Mr.. Hamilton's s preference
is for Balliol because this is the col
lege which graduated Wycliff, Glad
stone and other prominent men of the
English nation. He has made ar
rangements with F. J. Wiley, agent
of the Rhodes trust, to cablegram the
result of his application. Each col

THE GOVERNMENT OF A CITY.

Judged by appearances the affairs of life in 4
large city decidedly complex. But when these
appearances are reduced by systematic division to
practical theory. founded upon actual conditions it
is plain to the average citizen that the matter of gov
ernment is, after all, comparatively simple
In city. as in town or a village, there are three
predominant factors in order and progress. One
concerns material improvement, another the moral
state and third the character of government. Un-
der material Improvement cassed public work
semipublic work, most private work and practically
everything which adds the solidty and the beauty
of appearances. Under the moral state are classed
all laws and popular standards which regulate pub
lie morals And under the character of government Is
classed the actual management of public business
Virtually every phase of life under these divi-
sions of regulation
is upon this theory that bipartisan associations
operate The civic improvement leagues and dis
trict improvement associations supervise public
