DAY WAS WELL SPENT
VARIETY OF ADJUSTMENTS
Richmond People Took Advantage Of
the First Full Holiday Since New
Years-Street Car Company Did
Biggest Business of the Season.

Yesterday was the first full holiday
of the year since New Years Day and
the weather being fine, it was taken
advantage of by everyone who could
possibly do so. The formal opening
of the Country Club drew many of
the members of that Club to the
grounds, where a golf match and
cards entertained the visitors. The
Decoration day address and the ceme-
terry drew thousands of people while
as many more went to Glen Miller
Park and spent the afternoon and
evening.
Richmond automobilists made good
eral long trips made. Many persons
from different parts of the state Wis
tied Richmond yesterday in their ma
chimes. Livery stables did a good
business, nearly every rig being in
use. Fine roads with no dust. enticed
people to the country.
The base ball game in the after
noon was a good drawing card and
brought large crowds from the small
er towns in the county, into Rich
mond. Vaudeville at both theatres
was also well patronized. The street
car lines did the biggest business of
the year in the city, and on many
of the lines, extra cars were in oper-
alton.

THE MODEL IS APPROVED
MONUMENT FOR MORTON
Statue Of lndiana's War Governor viii
Be Twelve Feet in Height and Will
Be Placed on a High Pedestal at
State House.

Rudolph Schwarz. the sculptor of
the Oliver P. Morton monument,
which is to be erected at the east en-
trance the State House, has CON-
pleted the model for the monument,
and it has been approvey by the COM
mission. The figure of Indiana's war
governor will be twelve feet in height
and will stand on a high pedestal.
One of the questions that troubled the
commission was whether to place fig
ures at the side of the main statue,
and 1t has finally been decided to do
so. On one side will be a soldier
with a gun and on the other there will
be the figure of a veteran with flag.
These figures will be nine feet high.
Surrounding the base of the monu-
ment will be a stone balustrade o. ar
tistic design. The monument is tobe
placed near the center of the spacious
plaza that leads from Capiol avenue
to the Market street entrance to the
State House. 1t is the intention to
begin work on the foundation within
a few days and the monument will be
completed in time to be unveiled the
first week of next January when the
indiana Legislature opens its session.
The legislature appropriated $4,000
for the erection of the monument, and
the commission is raising more money
by subscription.

the meeting of the church stewards
held in this city Monday, the amounts

GILLIAN ODE

Former Richmond Literary
Man Contributes Most Beau
tifuI Centennial Poem.
TO APPEAR IN HISTORY
VOLUME WHICH is TO BE PUB.

A GREAT EFFORT.

Prof. Walter S. Davis, who is in
charge of the work of preparing the
history of Richmond which is to be
published late in the summer or early
in the autumn, has received from
Strickland w. Gillian, formerly of
Richmond, now of Baltimore, a poem
which is to grace the volume and
which will be central feature of the
entire work.
Though not a native of Richmond,
Mr.. Gillilan's long residence here, his
wide acquaintance and his great pop
ularity have been such, that it was
very natural and BETTING that he
should be asked to contribute a poem
to Richmond's centennial history. Mr..
Gillian chooses to call his poetic off
ering; Richmond: An Ode to Optim.
ism" and those who have had the
pleasure of reading it pronounce it one
of the best, if not the best thing that
Mr.. Gillian has done in his entire
career.
That he should strive to put into
verse, into real poetry in fact, his own
feelings and impressions as regards
the city that was once his home and
in which his literary talent received
much of it's development, is a tribute
both to the city and to his friends
who are legion. The Palladium this
morning presents this beautiful cen.
tennial ode and it's beauty in senti-
ment as well as it's perfection in con-
struction, will at once be apparent to
those who read it.

An Increase of $9,224.


Compared with the appropriations
last year there was an increase of $9,-
224 appropriated to meet the needs of
the church this year, but the commit
tee decided that church extension was
the most important work now in hand
and therefore gave this branch of the
work the entire benefit of increase in
appropriation. Appropriations to
every other department were reduced,
while church extension work received
an increase of $4,000.

With which the Hoosier commonweaIt supplied.

Ten thousand tempess has her proud strength broxe
A thousand crises weathered till today

No slip-shod labor and o windshook wood
Had place in her that like a rock has stood.
Chief Of the things that make her great has been
That kndiness Of heart that enters in
Where human need is greatest, and supplies
New fuel for hopes fires, in hopeless eyes.
And wheresoe'er her sturdy sons are strewn-

A love for Richmond and his oIdtime friends.
