WILL RESTRICT
DYNAMITE SALE
Game Wardens Are Called on
to Enforce the Law in
This Respect.
STOP SLAUGHTER OF FISH
DYNAMITING OF STREAMS WILL
RESULT IN SOME DRASTIC Ac-
TON BY THE GAME AUTHoRI-
TIES.

The Indiana Fish and Game Com
mission proposes to begin at once to
enforce the law regulating the sale of
dynamite and such explosives. Deal
ers are required by law TO keep a rec
ord after a prescribed form of the
sales of these goods. E. E. Earle,
chief depuy, says the commission will
visit the place of business of all
dealers in dynamite and examine the
books and records. If the law has
not been obeyed, the guilty ones will
have to tell the courts why not. The
following is the section of the law re-
ferred to:
1T shall be unlawful for any firm or
corporation to sell or give away any
quantity of dynamite, or other nitro
explosive compound to any minor or
to sell or give away the same to any
person without marking the word
dynamite on the label, wrapper or
vessel containing 1t, and shall also
register in a book to be kept by him
for that purpose, the day and date on
which it is sold or given away, the
quantity thereof, the name, age, sex
color and place of residence of the
person obtaining the same, the pur-
pose for which it is required, and the
name for whom the same is intend
ed; and any person convicted of vio-
lation of any of the provisions of this
section shall be fined in any sum not
less than 800 or more than 81 900. to
which may be added Imprisonment
in the county Jail not less than three
months or longer than one year"
The commission believes that if
the law regulating the sale of explo-
sives is strictly enforced in the state
there will be an end to dynamiting
the fish in the streams.

AN ENJOYABLE OCCASION
DINNERS WERE TAKEN TO THE
GROUNDS IN LARGE BASKETS

The Chenoweth reunion was held
me mile east of Lynn, Ind. in a grove
belonging to b. F. Chenoweth, last
Saturday, Aug. 18th About two nun
dred present, mostly members of he
Chenoweth family. Several families
came in the forenoon and brought
their baskets well filled and it was ar
ranged on tables about he noon hour
and we do not know which we enjoy
ed best, the social chat or the dinner.
We hope that all the relations will
take interest enough in these reun-
ions to be present every year. In this
busy world we don't get time to visit
each other very much and if it were
not for the reunions each year, we
would hardly know our relation. In
spite of the very warm weather the
Lynn band favored us with several
nice selections. Ice cold lemonade
flowed in abundance and the croquet
ground was kept busy and the large
swings were always going to and fro
carrying the happy children, SO we
believe everybody enjoyed the day
and was very glad they went and we
hope that we will all live another
year and try to make our reunion
next year the best of ALL

litical opponent of the officials of the
automatic telephone system of Column

to lay such feelings aside when it
came to praising the service Column

He urged that Richmond not lose her
good name for having the best there is
in installing a manual system which
could not possibly be better than the
one with which Columbus was dis
gusted and tore out.
President Landau, of the Telephone
Company told of the experience his
company had had when they were
contemplating a change. He said that
they had made long trip east to in
spect the system and were really dis
appointed when they could find Up one
that would make complaint against it.
Other prominent men of Columbus
spoke with the same general thought
Richmond Men Spoke.
The Richomnd men who gave short
addresses were President Lindemuth
of the Home Telephone Company, Per-
ry J. Freeman one of the original
stockholders in the local concern and
B. B. Johnson Mr.. Johnson called at
tention to the fact that the Home
Phone Company had made wise
move in calling in a number of repre-
sentative patrons for advise in the
matter of rebuilding its plant. He
said that it was an evidence of that
higher principle taking hold of Amer
lean business methods He thought
the public had been espe cially favor
ed in thus being consulted about the
kind of phone service it would like.
He heartily commended what he had
seen of the system and said he had
not been able to find any one, imparti-
ally situated, who complained against
it.
The fact was brought out in the
speeches of the Columbus men that in
variably there were two phones in a
place of business or home. that the
person used the automatic if possible.

being served on the train, in the form

q 1t will take some time for Richmond
to get the new system installed as
many cities have orders in head of
the local compny. The representa-
tive of the Chicago firm, which manu-
features the automatic phones while
at dinner, received telegram, sum-
moning him to Beaver Falls, Pa to
close the contract for the installation

system is absolutely controlled by the
