make that subject Of especial interest
Mr.. James Dinwiddie, OF Peace In
stitute. was present for two days, and
lectured on Fractions. 1t is a subject
of which he has made special study.
and he was able to bring out many
new things about this old subject. He
holds TO the motto that you should not
believe a thing until you see the proof,
and he showed by his thorough know
1ed pe of this branch and his matertul
way of handling ii, that 1t IS a very
good motto.
The and evenings were
oiven over to the social side II 10

PLENTY OF COAL IN RICHMOND

Although the miners and operators
have disagreed, there has been no
change in the price of coal in Rich
mond, and prominent dealer said
last night that there would probably
be no raise felt here during the re-
mainder of the winter. In some In
diana cities, dealers have received
word from the operators that the
price will be raised fifty cents on the
ton Immediately.
With the large supply on hand in
this city, the dealers do not think it
necessary to demand more just at
present, as they think that peace
full settlement may be made of aft
airs at the mines. They are taking no
risks, however, and will hold back
enough coal to enable them to be in
the fiem in case the supply at the
mines gives out altogether.
The railroads and large factories,
especially, are preparing for the
strike, and hundreds of car loads of
coal are being sold to factories and
stored on railroad sidings for future
use. On the Logansport Division of
the Pennsylvania, there are no less
than twenty miles of coal cars, load
ed. standing on sidings, ready to be
shipped to all parts of the Pennsyl-
vania system.

Richmond auf folks have
pricked up their va are paying

cidents on public biz III
The case at issue wal sa111
from Whitley county. Ia IL ~aell
cident in point, Mrs. Susan OrnE
was hurt and judgment of $500
was awarded her. The court says:
i. 1t is only when an automobile
is run at time or manner or under
circumstances inconsistent with a
proper regard for the rights of 9TH
ers that the use of such machine as
a mems of transportation on public
highway is unlawful or the basis of
an action in court.
2. The driver of an automobile
was guilty of actionable negligence
who ran his machine at the rate of
fifteen miles an hour into the faces
of team of horses on the highway,
without checking or stopping until
within twenty feet, and thereby
caused them to run away, when he
could see that they were plunging
with fright at his approach from the
time he was 300 feet away.
B. 1t is no excuse for the failure
of such automobile drivers to observe
that horses on the highway are
frightened, and for the failure to
stop or check his speed that all of
his attention was taken with the
management of the automobile and
observance Of the team.
