Mr.. Jenkinson stated that Jere-
miah Cox and John Smith were the
first settlers in Wayne County. Smith
settling on land where the court
house now stands and Cox on the
north side of Main street near where
Smith located.
In 1916 the two settlements, Cox
vile and Smithville, were incorpor-
ated and the town named Richmond,
Wayne County was first incorpor-
ated in 1910.
According to Mr.. Jenkinson Geo.
Holeman and Richard Rue were the
first settlers in Wayne county, COM
ing here in 1905 and locating on
land about miles south of Rich
mond. Warned Davenport now owns
and resides on the farm and the land
settled by Holeman is close by.
There is an interesting bit of his
tory in connection with the two pio-
-neer settlers of Wayne County. Hole
man and Rue were hardy frontiers
men and Indian fighters and were
captured about the year 1899 near
Louisville, Ky. by war party and
taken captives to an Indian settle
ment near the present site of Wapo-
kenata, Ohio. They were held cap
tives for three years and half when
they made their escape and returned
to Kentucky. After marrying they
settled in this county in 1905.
The first man to settle in the north
ern part of Wayne County was John
Lewis, grandfather Of Mrs. Isaac
Jenkinson. He located in what is
now Greene township in the year
1910. Whenthe Indian war broke
out in northern Indiana in 1911, Lew
is and few neighbors built block
house near the present site of Will
liamsburg. Wayne county steelers,
however, were never molested by In
dians during the whole war.

GIVE TEMPERANCE LECTURES
In Which He Censures Those Who
Vote For Parties Who Counte-
nance the Saloons.

"The preachers of your city vio-
lently denounce the liquor traffic in
their pulpits' said the Rev. Mr..
Lough, the well known temperance
advocate last evening at the Chris
tian church, but at the elections
last November they voted for the
same ticket that the saloon keepers,
the brewery and distillery men voted
for. The government licenses the
liquor traffic and the government is
the people and what ever the major
ity asks for Uncle Sam grants.
'The parties who have been in
power In this country represent the
majority and these parties all sane
tion the liquor traffic. If the minis
ters of this city are truly in favor
of temperance then they should not
vote with the parties who favor the
government license Of the liquor in
dustries.'
The Rev. Mr.. Loueh is a forcible
speaker and his remarks were well
received by a small audience. He
states that the canteen question
would come up again at this session
of Congress and that a determined
effort would be made by the temper
ance people to prevent the anti-can-
teen law from being abolished.

ED AT CAMBRIDGE CITY A
GOOD CATCH.
MOTHER ADMITS HIS FAULTS
And Says He Ought to be Put in the
Penitentiary-Wom Gave
Ball Away.

Relative to the arrest of Bert Ball
at Cambridge City Wednesday for
stealing horse and buggy from An
derson a dispatch says:
On the night of January 26 the
turnout Of William Smith, of this
city, was stolen from hitching post
and Tuesday night from the same
post the fine horse and buggy of
Frank Van Buskirk, residing a short
distance northeast Of Anderson, the
turnout being worth 5000, were taken
by mysterious thief.
Wednesday at noon while Chief of
Police Smith and assistant were in
their Office addressing postal cards
describing the stolen property, the
chief was told over the phone by a
woman that if he desired to appre-
hend the thief he had better take the
Middletown traction car, get off at
the sawmill crossing near the town,
and 60 one mile south. Chief Smith
did so and met a relative of Ball.
Her name is withheld, but she gave
him the needed information. She said
Ball was guilty Of the above thefts
and directed him to Ball s mother, at
Middletown, to whom the chief went
at once.
Mrs. Ball frankly admitted her
sons waywardness and said the best
place for him would be In the peni-
tentiary. She advised the chief to see
her son, Frank, at his home. five
miles southeast of Middletown,
whittier Smith went Frank said
Bert drove to his home on the night
of January 26 with horse and bug
by, that Bert had traded the horse
and buggy Cor two watches to far
mer named Boram between Middle
town and Daleville, and had sold the
horse to a farmer living two miles
south of Kennard. Frank disclosed
the fact that Bert had driven past
his house last night saying he was
headed from Anderson for Dayton to
deliver the turnout to horse trader
at Dayton. ......
Chief Smith and the officer with
hinr returned to Anderson and learn
ed that the notice of the thefts fur
nished on the postal cards had al
ready borne fruit. The marshal at
Cambridge City, who received one of
the cards, within a few minutes saw
Bert Ball and wife driving through
Cambridge City. The marshal identi-
fed the horse and buggy from the
| description furnished on the card he
had just received and Ball was ar
rested.

F. GUSTIN ACTS AS CHAIRMAN
Of Meeting Held Last Night Lookir g
Toward New Chapter-Better
Wages Main Object.

Because they are dissatisfied with
the present chapter of the carpenters
union in this city, a number of men
gathered last evening in hall over
511 Main street and preliminary
steps toward organizing a new local
union were taken.
For several years there has existed
a great deal Of i'll feeling between
the union and those who would not
join on account of personal matters
and the fight has been detrimental to
both sides in the matter of wages.
The non union men, and those in the
union who do not like the actions of
the union as body, decided to Or
ganize and secure another charter

PURE FOOD REGULATIONS
Nay Be Modified By Secretaries
WilS0n, Shd1o and MetcaIf.

Washington, Oct 12-Differences that NAV
prove serious have developed in respect to the
adoption of the pure food regulations. The
commission. consisting of DR.. w H Wiley of
the Agricultural Department: DR.. S. n. D.
North of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, and James L. Gerry. OF the Treasury
Department, formulated the proposed regula-
tions under which the Pure Food and Drug act
is TO be administered They reached a unani-
nous conclusion recently. after many weeks Of
investigation. discussion and consideration. As
finally agreed upon by the commission. the
regulations were in the nature of q compromise
on many points
The commission submitted the regulations TO
Secretaries wilson Shaw and Metcalf by whom
before they become effective. they have to be
approved. 1t is known that some OF the regula-
tions do not meet the entire approval of all
of the secretaries. and 1t probably will be neces-
sary to modify them before d unanimous agree
ment is reached.
Under the regulations as they stand now II
would not be legal. for instance to label auy
brand of wine manufactured in this country as
champagne. although it might be as pure as
any wine ever manufactured. No American
made cheese could bear the name Neufchatel
although IT is claimed by American makers that
that is a distinctive name Of cheese made in
many places Of the world American made
champagne would be called American wine
champagne type or champagne blend The
cheese might be called cheese, Neufchatel style
Mr. Gerry went to-day to Martinsburg w
Va. where he Will meet Secretary Shaw and
submit the regulations to him. They have NOT
been approved yet by either Secretary Wilson
Secretary Metcalf. although both of these Of
fcials have examined them. II is not unlikely
that the three secretaries may have a meeting
in the near future to determine what action
they Will take.

NEW RAILROAD TARIFFS.
Subject Under Consideration By the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Members of the Inter
state Commerce Commission do not expect to be
able to determine finally the form OF tariffs to be
published by the railroads and filed with the
commission for several weeks-perhaps two
months. The work is regarded as of great i'm
portance by both the commission and the traffic
officials OF the railroads, and they propose to
give their best attention 10 II.
Chairman Knapp of the commission explained
to-day that II would be necessary. first TO deter
mine certain fundamental principles in connec-
tion with the tariffs before the form OF the tariff
could be worked out 1t would have to be decided
for instance, whether joint tariff should be
fled by the initial lines; whether common tariffs
should be filed. whether class rates should be
filed In a tariff by themselves and how terminal
charges should be specified in the tariffs
Once these principles and similar ones were
decided upon, Chairman Knapp thought tho
form of the tariff could be worked out without
serious difficulty.
The filing or new tariffs with the commission
by the railroads involves not only vast deal of
labor, but immense expense Every time a hig
system Of railroads changes it's tariff rates tbs
expense aggregates between 100000 and $500 :
900. Naturally. therefore, the railroads are mar
ticularly interested in the form Of tariffs 10 ha
prescribed by the commission. Until the suh
ject has been determined fully by the memhars
OF the committee and experts of the railroads
no order will be made the subject nv tba
