Palladium Special.1
n Indianapolis, April 1.-THE Penn
sylvania company has adopted a new
rule governing the sale of tickets in
all Offices. AS has been the custom
for years tickets when sold were
good until one day from date of sale.
Under the new order of things they
are good only on the day of sale and
all tickets are to be so stamped in
the future. The new rule is a result
of the investigation made on several
Western roads in during which it was
found that dishonest agents and con-
ductors were playing a get-rich-quick
scheme. The agent would sell a tic
ket good until one day from date OF
sale. The purchaser of the ticket
would pay his price accept the paste.
board and give it to the conductor
That official would make a bluff at
punching 1t and return it to the agent
who would sell the ticket again the
next day and shove the long green
down into his trousers pockets and
split up with the conductor.
The result of the investigation in
the West has actuated the Pennsyl
vania in taking the stand it has fol
fear that some agent and conductor
might try to work the same kind of g
racket. ...

Greencastle, Ind, April 1.-THE stu
dent body of DePauw University is
greatly excited today over one of the
boldest burglaries ever committed
here, in which the leading role was
played by a knight of the dark Ian
tern, whose manner closely resem-
bled that OF the gentlemanly Raj
fies." His plumber consisted of two
gold watches, one diamond ring, one
emerald ring and SIC in money.
When awakened by a noise just be-
fore daybreak this morning, Miss Mary
Beam and Miss Bessie Sale, of Bluff
ton, who have rooms at the Kappa So
rority house, found a burglar present,
who gruffly remarked: "If you make a
noise, I'll kill both of you. Now,
where's your money? I've got the
other stuff"

Turning on the light he forced the
young women to tell the hiding place

told that they lived in Bluffton, he re

there, and he mentioned several names
of people they both knew. He ap
peared well educated. He did not weal
a mask, and was a white man, but he
had the light turned only long enough
to glance at the combination of the
purse and they could not identify him

REAL ESTATE IS
, DULL THIS YEAR
Business is Steady, but the
Usual Spring Activities No
ticeabIe by Absence. ;
BUILDING Is VERY Slow
BUILDING is VERY SLOW
PEOPLE IN THIS CITY WHO ARE
LOOKING FOR HOMES WISH TO
BUY HOUSES ALREADY ERECT.
ED.

Business in real estate circles
at the present season is quite
dull in Richmond compared with
the business of previous years at the
same period. Business, however, is
not poor but steady like it has been
throughout the winter months. A local
real estate man stated yesterday that
real estate dealings so far this month
had been remarkable for the reason
that there was no more activity than
in December or January( two of the
worst months in the year for building,
but on the other hand there has been
an exceptionally large amount of
building and repairing done in those
two months during the past winter.
People this year are not buying
lots to any great extent, those seek
ing for homes trying to buy houses
already erected This state of affairs
has greatly affected the new additions
to the city laid out the last year,
which the promoters hoped to sell up
rapidly this spring. The real estate
transactions and building that is be-
ing done in Richmond is not confined
to any one part of the city, few lots
having been sold in various parts of
town. While the building outlook at
present is not as rose-colored as was
pictured early in the year it is prophe-
sled that it will pick up considerably
within the next two months.

County and City Are Getting
More Money Under New
Law Than Ever Before.
HOW 1T COMES ABOUT
PERSONS NOW PAYING TAX AT
COURT HOUSE ARE HELD FOR
MONEY DUE BOTH CITY AND
COUNTY.

The new law which went into effect
on January 1 in this state, which
transferred the duties of collecting
city tax from the office Of the City
treasurer to that of the County
treasurer is apt to prove beneficial to
both the city and county in the matter
of getting all property listed. IN
der this system, tax is not so liable
to become delinquent on account of
the property owners ignorance, as
the books being made in the same Of
fee, all city property can be listed on
both city and county duplicates.
The county treasurer receives many
letters from persons living in the city
who complain about the tax rate being
so high. They claim to have paid But
$104 on 500 in the past, and now are
called upon to pay $3.50 on the same
amount. The reason is that they have
only been paying city tax heretofore,
but the county collects the city and
county tax at the same time.
The same thing works the other way
and many Richmond property owners
who have been paying county tax only
find that they have to pay city tax,
too, which raises the rate consider
ably. This leads to the discovery OF
much delinquent tax, which will be as
sessed against the property owners
who have failed, in the past, to pay
because of their confusing the city
and county tax offices.
