Two Local Mills Have Pur-
chased Over Five Thous-
and Bushels This Week.
GOOD YIELD is REPORTED
TEST is MADE OF NEW WHEAT
FLOUR AND 1T is FOUND TO
MAKE EXCELLENT BREAD
FARMERS ARE SELLING.

Reports from all over the state
show that the wheat crop this year
is exceptionally large and the quality
of the grain is the best that has been
harvested in many years. The millers
and elevator men recognize the high
quality and are paying on the average
of seventy one cents per bushel. At
Mechanicsburg, Ind, one farmer re-
ports an average yield of fifty four
bushels to the acre, the quality being
unsurpassed it weighing out sixty-two
pounds to the bushel However. the
average yield in this state will be in
the acre.
Although threshing has practically
just begun in the vicinity of Rich
mond two of the representative mills
of the city report the buying of five
thousand bushels in the last two
days. Charles Carpenter proprietor of
the Carpenter Mills stated yesterday
that the wheat he had received has
been unusually good, in fact the best
that he has received at his mill in the
last ten years, it weighing out sixty
two pounds to the bushel. A test of
the new wheat was made by him yes
terday by making bread with -four
which was milled Monday and the
test was very successful, the bread
being light and fluffy. free from run
ming which is a general characteristic
of bread baked by new wheat -four.
When asked whether the farmers
were holding or would hold their
wheat back to await higher prices,
Mr.. Carpenter stated that he thought
that they would not as the crop is so
much larger than any one had ex-
pected. and they would be willing to
sell from the machine. The acreage in
Wayne County is expected TO bring
the largest yield in the history of the
county.
Good Wheat Yields at Chester.
3uis II. 'op4j bt
ures given of the yield on c. H Mi
nor's farm were erroneous. The yield
of wheat averaged 50 bushels 10 the
acre Today threshing vas done on
the Reece Ryan farm. Some Of IT ran
as high as IL bushels to the acre and
the average was 81 bushels.
Enormous Yield at Milton.
Milton, July II, 1906 (SpD-The
wheat is turning out enormous yields.
Wilbur Elwell had small field which
averaged 40 bushels per acre. II re-
quired three pounds of twine Der acre
and farmers in this vicinity count on
ten bushels of wheat for each vound
of twine. so he was surprised with the
extraordinary yield. The quality of
the wheat in the Whitewater valley is
very high.

is QUESTION OF POWER
PULLMAN COMPANY FARES
State Railroad Commission Believes
it Has Jurisdiction Over the Corpo-
ration-Richmond Mans Recent
Complaint Revives Interest.

The Indianapolis News in speaking
of the Richmond man who made COM
plaint to the Indiana Railroad Commits
sion, to the effect that he was charg-
ed so cents for a seat in a Pullman
car from Richmond to Indianapolis
and only % cents for a seat from In
dianapolis to Terre Haute, a slightly
greater distance, says the following:
"At the Pennsylvania Passenger
Office, in this city, it is said the Pull
man fare from Richmond to Indiana
polls is so cents and that it is the
same from Indianapolis to Terre
Haute, and that if the Richmond man
paid only % cents he did not pay en-
ough.
ct is not likely the Railroad Com
mission will take up the complaint
unless the Richmond man files an af-
fidavit. Ever since the Railroad Com
mission has been in existence the
Pullman company has contended that
the law did not give the commission
jurisdiction over it, and that it was
not answerable to the commission for
anything. This question has not yet
been determined. The position of the
commission on the proposition is that
the Pullman company is a private car
line and that inasmuch as the law
gives the commission jurisdiction
over such concerns it has control ov-
er the Pullman company. This is de-
MED by the company, but the matter
has never reached the courts for final
determination.

Anton SIoIIe Is to Become a
Competitor of the Rich
mond Abbatoir Co.
TO BUILD ON LIBERTY AVE.
STOLE CLAIMS THAT HE HAS
BEEN FROZEN OUT OF ABBAT.
OR COMPANY IN WHICH HE is
A LARGE STOCK HOLDER.

q, Anton Stole has taken out permit
for a $4,000 building which is to be
erected at a and 46 Liberty Avenue
and is to be used as a meat packing
house. Work will be begun next
Monday morning and it is expected
that the structure will be completed
by October Is. The concern, which
will be known as Stole e. Bros, will
run in direct competition to the Rich
mond Abbatoir Co, which is located
at 40 and AZ Liberty avenue.
Mr.. Stole has, until recently, been
connected with the Richmond Abba.
toir Co., and is the largest individual
stock owner in the concern, having in
his possession SO shares of stock.
These shares sold at 500 and the
company was Incorporated at 100000,
but only about $4,000 of the stock
was taken up. 1t seems that the 9th
er stockholders, who number about
forty, and who own all the way from
four or five shares to seventy or
eighty apiece, have formed a combine
and have practically frozen Stole
out, according to his story.
Son Taken Off Board.
He says that when the company
first started they had meetings every
two weeks, but that this year they
have only had three and it was at one
of these that one of his sons was vot.
ed from the hoard of directors. He
also states that later the key which
he had to the offices was requested
and given over to the board and that
now he has no favoured entrance to a
property In which he has an interest.
He did not like this sort of treatment
and making the fact known to the
board, he requested that he be allow
ed some of the rights and privileges
which his holdings of stock seemed
to confer upon him. He says that he
gained no satisfaction and that the
arts of high finance were used and
that he attempted to sell out to the
company and quit the business in that
vicinity. This move was also side
tracked, owing to a non-agreement as
to the prices. Stole then says that
he offered to sell his stock at about
twenty per cent. below par. This
was also laid aside for consideration.
Mr.. Stole says that he founded the
business for the company and that he
personally superintended the construc-
tion of the Richmond Abbatoir plant:
that he put all his efforts for the good
VT the establishment and then in re-
turn for this was given the dirtiest
job about the place.
Good Field For Business.
Mr. Stole says that there are eight
cars of shipped meats coming into the
city every day in addition to that put
out by the Richmond Abbatoir Co,
and that in view of this fact that
there is ample business for two COM
panies in this city. Prompted by the
above mentioned causes he has con-
ceived the idea of going into the pack
ing business next door to the Rich
mond Abbatoir Co. Already a barn
has been partially moved and other
evidences of the proposed movement
are in sight.
Mr. Stole says that he will have no
hackers. nor will there be a firm in
corporated. but that he and his sons
will put forth every effort to make
the project a success.

tel had combined both the natural
and artificial gases In her kitchen
range, causing the artificial gas TO

SMALL WRECK At LOGAN
WAS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Limited Train Running at Great Speed
on Wabash, Left the Track and
bankment.
Publishers PreSs1

Logansport, Ind, July 11.-One
of the finest passenger trains on the
Wabash was wrecked near Cass Sta
ton this afternoon, the engine and
smoker being precipitated down a
twenty-five foot embankment. That
no one was killed is miraculous. The
only person seriously injured was a
train boy who had his leg broken and
suffered internal injuries. He may
die. Workmen had been repairing
the track and left a rail loose. The
engineer, seeing the bad track, re-
versed his engine, and with his fire
man, jumped in time to escape being
buried under the engine which was
turned over. The entire train was
derailed.
Various alarming reports were cur
rent on the streets last night in re-
gard to the wreck at Logansport. A
special train on the Pan Handle was
leaving Logansport on its way to
Richmond at the time that the wreck
was reported The trainmen heard
that twenty-nine persons were killed
and that the Logansport fire depart
ment and many other conveyances
had been called to the scene Of the
wreck.

Obituary.
SUSAN b. KING.

To live for eighty years in one com.
munity, and so live as TO command the
respect and confidence of everyone,
and, at life's close, receive the ''well
done" of nil, deserves more than pass
ing notice. Such life. was that of
Susan b. King. Modest, seeking no
honor, craving no applause, she lived
her life of domestic devotion, religious
fervor and neighborly kindness with
such genuineness as TO make friends
of all who knew her.
Susan B. King was born in Manches-
ter, VI, May 2, 1895. She was the
daughter of johnson Glasier and Mary
Ann Bishop 1lasier. In 1884, when
eight years Of age, she went with her
parents from Manchester, VI, 10 Bed
ford, o. AT that time there was not a
mile of railroad or telegraph in Ohio,
and Cleveland was but village.
Her husband, Orris A. King, died in
1870, and two Of her daughters, Emma
and Mary, some years later. She is
survived by her oldest daughter, Mrs.
Ella NJ. Brcdes, living in Seattle,
Washington, and her son, John @.
King, at Boston, Mass.
Susan b. King passed away Sept. Z,
1906, and was buried from the Disciple
church in Bedford, Sunday, Sept. 0.
