Perhaps the most remarkable charac-
teristic of the natives of Somaliland is
their unbounded, preposterous conceit.
Englishmen who know their language
have been appalled, by it. When wa

encourages the animal to drink by
chanting to it in monotone 1t is at
such moments of extemporary effusion
that the man shines in all his glory
The subject matter may be the expert
ences of the days march, the virtues
of the animal beside him, the charms
of his latest wife or his own pfowess iii
some bloodless tribal raid. Be great
good fortune the following literal trans
lation of one of these chants or songs
came into my possession, and l insert
it without any comment:

NEW MOVE BY FRACTIONS
GET ENTRANCE TO CHICAGO
Indiana Men, 1t is Asserted, Buy Cal
umet Line For Syndicate Controll~
ing indiana Roads-WiII be Rushed
to Completion.

According to dispatches yesterday
the Philadelphia syndicate, which
controls the traction lines of Indiana
has obtained entrance to Chicago for
it's electric cars. The dispatches say
that George r. Mccullough and Hor-
ace G. Stilwell, acting for the syndi-
cate have bought the Calumet car
line, which extends from Chicago to
Hammond and that arrangements
have been completed whereby inter-
urban cars brought into Chicago over
the Calumet line may connect at Six
ty-ninth street with the elevated road
and proceed to the heart of the bust
ness district of the city.
For years the syndicate operating
traction lines in this State and Ohio
has sought to gain entrance to Chi
cago, but strong opposition to suf-
face tracks have barred Indiana in
terurbans from the city. This objec-
ton seems to have been overcome by
the arrangement to use the ''L" road.
1t is now thought the syndicate
lines originally projected from vari-
Gus points to Chicago will be rushed
to completion and that among these
the Indiana Union Traction system
will be extended from LogansDort by
way of Rochester and North Judson.

WEDDING WAS SURPRISE
FATHER KNEW NOTHING
Miss Oda kemper Was So Quietly
Married to Ira Pierce That Her
Objections Just a Surprise.

Thursday afternoon Miss Oda KEN
per, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ad-
am Kemper of South Fourteenth
street, was quietly married to Mr.. Ira
Pierce, who is a brakeman on the
Richmond division of the Pan Han
die. The ceremony was performed
by tile Rev. Joseph Beck at the Trini-
ty Lutheran church parsonage on
South Seventh street, where Mrs.
her home.
So quiet were the plans for the
wedding kept by the young couple
that not even the brides parents were
aware of her marriage, until several
hours after the ceremony had been
performed. Mrs. Lillian Beck did not
know her sister contemplated matri-
mony until she and Mr.. Pierce pre-
sented themselves at the parsonage
Thursday afternoon and asked the
Rev. Mr.. Beck to unite them in mar
riage. After the ceremony Mr.. and
Mrs. Pierce left for Middletown. O., to
visit the parents of the groom. Yes

1t was reported Thursday evening
that Miss Kemper and Mr.. Pierce
had been quietly married and Pal
ladium reporter asked Mr.. Adam
Kemper to confirm the story. He stat
ed that he knew nothing of the mat
ter, adding with a smile that he
would know if anyone did. Mr.. KEN
per then told the reporter that the
wedding of Miss Matte Kemper
which took place the same evening
was probably the grounds for the
story that his daughter was married
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Kemper met
the same reporter on the street and
owned up" that his daughter had
stolen a march on him. Mr.. Kemper
said he had no objections to the
match but could offer no reasons why
the wedding was made a surprise
affair.

School Books Bought for Less
in Buckeye State Than
They are Here.
AN EXPLANATION GIVEN
PRESIDENT KELLY A MEMBER OF
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
TELLS HOW THIS HAPPENS TO
BE THE CASE.

Conn's physiologies, adopted by the
State Board of Education, this week,
for use in the schools of this site for
the next five years, sell at lower
price in Ohio than in Indiana. The
contract for furnishing physiologies
was let to Silver. Burdette & Co, of
Chicago, at 80 cents each for the pri-
mary books and so cents each for the
advanced books.
In Ohio the contract price for the
same books 1t 81 cents for the primary
and As cents for the advanced. There
is law in Ohio which provides that
the contract price of any school book
shall not be higher than % per cent.
below the catalogue price as shown by
The list price of Conn's primary phys
iology, is 80 cents, and that of the adj
vanced books so cents. Deducting
% per cent. from these prices, the
contract price in Ohio is reached. In
Ohio the greight and other charges
for transporting the books to the place
of distribution are paid by the school
authorities. In Indiana this cost lis
paid by the publisher, the law provid'
ng that he must deliver the books. In
this State he is also required by law
to pay per cent of the cost of distrib-
uting the books by the retail dealers,
and the State pays another s per cent
What Pres. Kelly Says.
President Kelly, of Earlham, mem
Der of the State Board of Education
was asked whether this matter receiv'
ed consideration by the board THE
board" he replied, went into that
question very carefully, and 1t was the
unanimous sense of the members that
taking all things into consideration
the price at which the books were of
fered to us was just about the same as
that at which they are sold in Ohio or
any other State. We called in the
agents and asked them about the cost
of transportation, and they all seemed
to agree that Ii amounted to about
per cent of the contract price. An
other advantage that the publisher has
in Ohio is that there he gets an i'm
mediate cash settlement for his books
while in Indiana he obliged to wait
for his money. So we think we are
getting as favorable terms as any
other state"

Standing at the grave of his daugh-

had driven to the graveyard, where
he placed Easter lilies on his daugh-

TO RETAIN AND
ENLARGE PLANT
Light Committee Holds Meet
ing to Prepare a Favorable
Report for Council.
NEW UNIT RECOMMENDED
DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE VOL
LUMINOUS REPORT NOT GIVEN
ouT-THE COMMITTEE VIEWS
PLANT AND NEEDED LAND.

The general committee appointed to
investigate the condition of the Mu-
nicipal Light Plant, met yesterday al
ternoon at o'clock at the city build
ing. Before any business was trans
acted, the committee, at the sugges-
ton of the Board of Public Works, Wis
tied the city plant and while there
made a thorough investigation of its
condition, which they found to be ex-
cellent. The land on the river front
which is owned by the Richmond
Light, Heat & Power company, and
which the city desires to secure for
dumping purposes, was looked at by
the committee and it is believed that
they will advise that this .and be Sc
cured. Not long ago the city began
condemnation procee dings for this
property and the Light, Heat and
Power company finally made a prop
osition to the city to sell the land for
$1,000. Up to the present time no
action has been taken on this offer. 1t
is probable that council will be asked
in the near future to appropriate this
sum so that the city can control it in
fee simple. .-s-
Go Over the Reports.
After the inspection of the Munich
pal plant the committee returned to
the city building and the report of the
subcommittee, which will be present
ed to council at it's meeting Monday
night was gone over and approved.
The reports of Prof. Mathews, who in
| spected the plant, and E. G. McMahan,
| the accountant, who audited the books
of the city plant, will be embodied in
| this report. The exact nature of this
report is still kept a secret, but one
of the members of the committee stat
ed yesterday that it will be one of the
most interesting documents ever pre-
scented to council, and will show the
Municipal plant to be in a splendid
condition. The advisability of retain
ng the plant vii be strongly empha-
sized. The report covers every fea-
ture of the investigation and is of
great length. A new unit, which the
Board of Public Works greatly de-
sires, will be recommended.
In short the report will be to retain
the plant and to enlarge it to meet flu,
ture demands.
