Palladium Special.1


indianapolis, Ind, May 20.-The
burial of the Democratic League for
the recovery of the majority rule will
take place at the state convention on
June 7. 1t is dead now, according to
the statements of knowing politi-
clans, but the obseuuies are being de-
layed until members of the party
from all sections of the state may at
tend.
1t is not very likely that the ser
vices will be of solemn nature. In
fact, there is now a growing evidence
of rejoicing among the politicians
over the early death of the league
1t is believed that the movement
was hindered by the story that Holtz
mans plan was to get even with
Taggart rather than to obtain a new
party. The fact that it was largely
a personal matter with him did no,
dawn fully on the average part,
worker until he began to write let
tiers for publication in which he in
simulated that the brewery interests
and the hackers of the French Licl
Monte Carlo were in control of the
organization.
The result is that what promised
to be the fight of Taggart's life bids
fair to be the easiest political propo
sition he ever tackled.

Excellent Speakers Are Sc.
cured for the LutheranS'
Annual Feast.
WANT BIG CONTRIBUTION
NEW BUILDING Is PLANNED FOR

TIoN WILL BE USED IN PAYING
FOR IT.

The Annual wernle Day Feast, to
be held next Sunday, May 81, at the
Wernle Orphans Home, the Lutheran
institute, south of the city, promises
to be the largest and most successful
celebration of the annual event ever
held. There will be large crowds of
visitors from other cities and special
effort will be made to secure large
subscription. Plans are now under
way for the erection of new Home,
to take the place of the building now
in use at the institution. This i'm
provement will be expensive, and the
money collected this year will be de-
voted entirely to the fund for this
purpose.
The program for the 1906 Feast has
been made out and includes some ex-
cellent speakers all ministers in the
be held in the open, in the park
grounds, so that the thousands of peo-
pie who attend annually will be Civ
en- an opportunity to hear the speak
ers. In the morning, the Rev. II.
Wickemeyer of Michigan City, for
merly a minister in this city, will
deliver a sermon in German. There
will be several prayers, with congre-
gational singing and selections by a
choir composed of the orphans.
The Afternoon Services.
In the afternoon, the principal SER
vices will be opened by the Rev. Fee
ger of the st. Johns Lutheran church,
of this city, who will give the wei.
coming address. He will speak of
the needs of the Wernle Home and
make a request for liberal 'contribu-

Rev. Schmidt, of Grove City, Ohio, and
the Rev. Bachmann, of Columbus,
Ohio. Rev. Schmidt will speak in

the Trinity Lutheran church, of this
city, the Rev. Mr.. Klepfer, of the
Wernle Home Superintendent, the
Rev. Mr.. Allwardt, of Hamilton, O..
and the Rev. Mr. Dannecker, of Fort
Wayne. Choirs from Reading and
Hamilton, Ohio. and Fort Wayne, will
sing and the Richmond City Band
will furnish music. Owing to the
fact that SO many of the members OF
the local Lutheran church choir are
in the May Festival Chorus, no choir
was organized here this year.
There will be excursions into Rich
mond on all steam and electric lines
and the Fort Wayne congregation will
run a special train. The city cars
will transfer people to the South Side
station, and the c., c. & l.. will run
excursion trains every few minutes
to the grounds. There will also be
hack lines, SO that transportation ia
cilities are well arranged for.

People Still Specializing OF
| What the Jurors Will Do at
Session Today.
CHARGES AGAINST SHERIFF
1T is SAID THAT THOSE WHO
ACCUSED SHERIFF SMITH OF
NEGLIGENCE MAY BE CALLED
TO SUBSTANTiATE 1T.

The reason for the recalling of the
April term grand jury to meet today
at the Court House. is as much of
mystery as when the order was first
issued, last week, by Judge Fox.
Prosecutor Jessup refuses to make
any statement in regard to what the
jury will investigate and the jurors
themselves are at a loss TO know
what they will have before them
when they convene the second time.
1t is evident that the work will be i'm
portant, or it would have held over
the summer.
Two persons have been arrested
for completely in the jail delivery,
when the famous John Locke made
his sensational escape. Locke's wife
is one of the persons suspected of CIV
ing him tools and she is now out on
bond. Barton Bell, the Centerville
burglar may be charged with helping
Locke as they were together the
night of the escape. The tools were
brought into the Jail in some manner
and the investigation Will probably
reveal the person who brought them,
as well as what authorities were lax
enough in discipline to permit the
tools to be spirited into the county
bastile.
Charges Against Smith.
Charges have been made against
Sheriff Smith. publicly claiming he
has not done his duty. The person or
persons who preferred these charges
against Smith may be summoned to
give testimony, if the statements are
backed by any substantial facts. The
escape of Locke, after the County
went to such expense to secure him,
has been thorn in some county Off
Gals sides for long time and it is
thought that the blame will be fixed
by this session of the grand jury.
1t is understood that the Lucy case
will be brought up again, as it is said
new evidence is in the hands of the
authorities.

REPORTERS GREAT FEAT.
Wonderful Achievement of Grant Wal
 lace, San Francisco Man.

"One of the best newsgatherers In San Francisco" says Hartley Davis, in Re porters of Today" In the F February Ev- erybodys has just left the business. This is Grant Wallace. formerly of the Bulletin, who since the war in the Orient has graduated into literature Wallace began as a cartoonist and worked at that trade for several years But the excite- ment of the news-gathering game, in the midst of which he lived and worked, was calling him all tho time. One day he appeared before the city editor of the Chronicle and asked for a job, adding to his plea:
 You see, you won't have to send an artist along with me. 1 can do that my self"
 A month later there was big railroad wreck between San Francisco and San Jose It was the fault of the engineer of the passenger train. Police, railroad officials and reporters were looking for the engineer that night. Wallace found him and got a complete confession. Ills story of sthe man who forgot''-and forgetting killed twenty men and women was a piece of newspaper literature. Wallace became star reporter for the Bulletin, and went for that paper to the war in the Orient, where he beat the Japanese censor and saw the battle of Liau-Yang. Had he been working Tor a newspaper published in London, New York or Chicago this feat would have made him famous all over the world.

Tides of Broadway.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 No clocks are needed to tell the time on Broadway. Between 5 and 6 o'clock the flow of the current is up- town and marks the swiftest move ment of the tide in the whole twenty four hours. By 6:15 there is a marked decrease in the volume of this tide, and at 6:30 one notices countless little whirls and f1ourishes of the tide as the first of the pleasure seekers begin to make their way to the various restaur- ants. Then the flood begins again, this time pouring up from the Subway sta tion at Longacre square, out of the street cars, hansomes and motor cars, coming in tributary rills from the ele- yated stations and the side streets. This movement is like no other of the currents, for it moves up and down, dehouchlng into the brilliant entrances of the theatres in such a volume that by S:30 the sidewalks seem compara- lively deserted. By 9 o'clock they are almost totally so, and for two hours again the current is at slackwater, Eleven o'clock witnesses the final furry of this tide that lasts for another half hour. Between the restaurants and the home-going crowds the tide Is ab- sorbed. From 11:30 to 12:90 is faint movement of the current. After 12: 30, whisper It softly, Broadway Is as quiet as any sleep-loving citizen would wish.

Figures That staeeer.

From the London Telegraph.
 It used to be that astronomy, with It's stupepdqps magnitudes. incredible velocities and inconceivable distances, seemed to make the greatest demand on mans belief. Today 1t is physics. We read, for insance. that Hertz's oscillations give rise to 500000,000 oscillations per second. Where is the man who can conceive of anything hap pening in the five hundred millionth part of a second? But this is quite a long period compared to some of those now accepted as inevitable in optics. According to Msxwell's great theory, q light wave is a series of alternating electric currents flowing in air or inter- planetary space, and changing their direction 1000. 100000, ,tO0.t v0 times per second. And this is supposed to be true of every form of light coming from the sun, the electric lamp or a lucifer match. Who can think Of any thing happening in the thousand mil lionth part of second?
