PRISONERS ARE GIVEN
THANKSGIVING FARE
Sheriff Meredith Changed His
Mind About 1t.

When prisoners at the county Jail
incidentally asked Sheriff Linus Mere
dith whether he intended to give them
a big Thanksgiving dinner, Meredith
told them that he did not. There was
much Indignation among the prisoners
and had such thing been possible,
resolutions would have been drawn
and presented to the sheriff.
However. Meredith said this morn
ing he had reconsidered the matter
and today at noon intended to serve
the inmates at the county Jail with
baked chicken, oyster dressing. mash
ed potatoes, cranberries, celery and
mince pie. The prisoners were led
to believe that they were to receive
nothing extraordinary SO that the sur
prise would be all the more pleasant
Twenty seven law-breakers spent
Thanksgiving at the county Jail.

BUSINESS SUSPENDED.

This, Thanksgiving day, is being OBJ

appropriate to the occasion. A spirit
of peace and contentment seemed to
hover over the entire city, as practical
ly all lines of business were closed.
Hundreds of Richmond people left the
city on early morning trains and in
terurbans for other towns or country
districts. Hunters left at an early
hour in large numbers. The streets
of the city were almost deserted.
1t is truly holiday for the city. This

Later 1t Was Thought Better
Not to Follow This Plan
On Thanksgiving.
SMALL BOYS WERE UP.
LECTURED ON THE EVILS OF c,
GARETTE SMOKING AND Al
LOWED TO GO ON PROMISE OF
GoDD BEHAVIOR HEREAFTER

Eight youths ranging between the
ages of eleven and thirteen. told
Judge Converse in the city court this
morning that they had on several in
of "a teaspoonful" and admitted that
it had been the practice of the
q" bunch to shoot" cigarette snipes
from the streets and cutters in orded
to secure cigarette papers. During
the course Of the hearing public
spanking was narrowly averted, and
had it not been Thanksgiving one of
the boys would have been padded
severely. During the course of the
hearing Prosecutor Jessup took occas-
ion to tell the youngsters that they
should not use tobacco as it would
stunt their growth Accordingly.
when the boys were made to promise
that they would not use the weed un-
til they at least became older. and
were asked the reason why they in
tended to quit, they promptly said it
was bad for their health, thinking that
they would be shown leniency by
needing the prosecutors admonition.
For some time a gang Of boys re-
siding in the court house neighb orhood
have been very bothersome. Police
have noticed that the members of the
gang would get their heads together in
earnest conversation for a short time
and then journey toward the river, al
ways following the banks to a secluded
nook. Recently relative of one of
e boys Slipped onto them and found
all smoking cigarettes. He then told
the police and all the youngsters were
Yankee before the prosecutor Wednes-
day. They were lectured on the evils
Of cigarette smoking and told to go
home and apprise their parents of
heir misdeeds. 4 few of them did
his. while others lied to the court
when they said that they had peni-
tently asked forgiveness or their par
ents.
Two of these were later confronted
by parents in the court and then the
youngsters, realizing that they were
trapped. burst out weeping.
One boy who makes his home with
his uncle greater portion of the
time, admitted that he had "storied''
and when asked as to what he
thought would be the proper punish
ment in the case, and at Judge Con
verses hint, said he supposed he need
ed a spanking. This decided upon, he
chose his uncle to do the work. Here
Prosecutor Jessup and Judge Con.
verse decided not to desecrate Thanks
giving by establishing such a Gus
tom, and after a lecture the young
ster was allowed to go.
Both Prosecutor Jessup and Judge
Converse think the lecturing the boys
received will do them good and ex-
pect to never again hear Of the boys
violating the law.

MARKET WAS BUSY PLACE.
ABUNDANCE OF TURKEYS, CHICK.
EMS AND DUCKS AND EVERY
THING ELSE NEEDED TO MAKE
THANKSGIVING DINNER.

Seldom in recent years has the local
A street market presented as animat-
ed an aspect as it did Wednesday af-
ternOOn and evening, this favorite
market emporium being visited by
hundreds OF Richmond people all in
tent on providing sumptuous
Thanksgiving dinner. The market
was quite complete in its supply of
food stuffs and all of the Injuries of
the fall season could he found in abun-
dance at fairly reasonable price.
Not for several years has the supply
of turkeys, chickens, and ducks been
as complete as it has been this
Thanksgiving. Turkeys, the most pal
atable and most coveted of all the
dence, and exceptionally plump and
te mpting looking. A concerted effort
was made by many of the operators
of stalls to hold the price of turkeys
up to % cents per pound, but several
found their supply over stocked and
cut the price to 90 cents. This cause
a break in the market and later in the
evening patrons were buying the prec-
iOus foul at IS cents, and by the time
the market hours were about over
turkeys were being sold as low as
10 cents by some. The cut prices
at the market house had their effect
on the grOcers who hoped to main
tain the price of turkeys at 23 cents
despite the plentifullness of the fowl.
However many merchants finding
their meats tagging. entered into COM
petition with the market house prices.

Woman Became
Rich I'm A Year
BY Her Own Efforts Amasses a For
tune.

Indiana is the home of a woman
who until a few months ago lived in
q small frame cottage, but who now
resides in her own palatial brown
stone residence, purchased from the
profits Of her business earned in less
&han a year.
Until few years ago, Mrs. Miller's
lot in life was not unlike that of the
average American woman residing in
Z small town. She had her family to
care for, including three small child
ren. Today the business. which was
first conducted from her cottage, re
quires almost all Of the principal of
Gee building Of the town, and hun
dred clerks and stenographers are re
CURED in conducting the details.
And this great success is the out
growth Of energy and merit and not
wealth, for Mrs. Miller was a poor
woman only few years ago. Her op
portunity came shortly after her mar
rage when she found a simple home
remedy for women which restored her
health and strength. This remedy
was SO good in the treatment of all
cases of female weakness and piles
that she was called upon to furnish it
to her friends. The demand grew.
Persons living at a distance heard of
the wonderful vegetable treatment and
requests by mail for tho remedy in
creased so rapidly that she was com
PEELED to take quarters in an Office
a
remedy has spread rapidly, and now
It IS doubtful if there is a county in al
this country where grateful and cured
users of the treatment do not reside
She has sent her remedy, free o.
charge, TO more than million women
Such great demand and such UNI
versal reputation must surely be the
result OF many cures. In fact. the
treatment seldom fails TO affect a
quick and permanent cure.
This year Mrs. Miller has planned
to give away to women who have no
vet used her remedy. $4,000 boxes Of
her regular 90 cent size OF treatment
All she asks is that every woman sui
fering from female weakness or piles
write her at once, giving full name
and address, and she will immediate
" mail n so cent box of the remedy
also her book with explanatory illus
traions showing why women SUITE,
and how they can easily cure them
selves at home without the aid of 2
physician. If you suffer in any man
ner from these affections. send al
once. Address Mrs. Cora Il. Miller
