PLACE IN THE ARMY
OFFERED To MALESBY
However, the Young Man
Does Not Care for 1t.
HONOR is A PLEASING ONE.

Through high honors which he won
at Culver military academy Myron
Majesty of North Tenth street has
been offered second lieutenancy in
the United States army.
Culver military academy is one of
the six schools in the United States
considered so proficient in its work
that honor graduates may be admitted
to the United States army as officers.
Malesby graduated at Culver with the
class of 1906, taking highest honors.
Being still under age. the appointment
in the army was not rendered to him
until recently. He has been apprised
of the time of the government exam
nations, and should he successfully
pass, ii would admit him to the posi-
tion of second lieutenant. For var
ious reasons, Malesby has decided not
to accept the offer.
The honor is no small one, as there
is only one school in the United States
turning out military men who gain
higher positions in the army on grad
uation and that is West Point, the
United States army school. Gradu-
ates here receive the positions of first
lieutenant. The position of second
lieutenant carries with it salary of
s116 per month.

EXODUS OF KNIGHTS
FOR CAPITAL CITY
Past Three Days Many Have
Gone to the EnCampment
At Indianapolis.
DEDICATION OF TEMPLE.
THIS is THE EVENT OF PARTIcu-
LAR INTEREST," HOME-BUiLD-
ING IDEA WAS ORIGINAL WITH
RICHMOND.

The past three days have witnessed
Pythias, all being bound for the Uni
form Rank encampment at Riverside
Park at Indianapolis. Owing TO the
fact that the first two days of the Pyth-
ian temple dedication are devoted to
the exercises of the Uniform Rank.
but few members of the subordinate
lodges have gone to Indianapolis. but
will leave for the capital city by We'd
nesday morning in large numbers. The
remaining members of the Uniform
Rank. in Richmond. will also leave for
Indianapolis by Wednesday morning as
the uniform rank company participates
in the huge Knights of Pythias parade
which will be preliminary to the ded-
ication proper Wednesday.
When asked as to how many local
members of the lodge would go to In
dianapolis to participate in the main
dedicatory ceremonies. a prominent To-
cal knight said that he did not know
exactly, but he confidently expected
that at least two hundred "old faith
fuls would go.
Col Geo. r. Williams of the Third
Regiment. Uniform Rank, and his adj
jutant, Ray X. Sniveley. both of this
city, have left for the encampment and
will remain during the entire encamp-
ment.
Local members of the knights of
Pythias lodge are taking particular in
terest in the dedicatory exercises in
connection with the new Pythian tenn
pie. because of the fact that Richmnd
was the first to erect a Pythian home.
and since that time the home building
movement has spread all over the coun-
try They are also particularly proud
OF the fact that that the great home
building movement as started in Rich
mond, should eventually reach such
proportions that a grand state temple
for Indiana could be erected.
To accommodate the immense
crowds that will go to Indianapolis
Wednesday to the Fythian dedication,
both the railroads and interurbans will
make special endeavor. Several extra
cars will be placed on the interurban'l
line while extra coaches will be added
to the Pennsylvania trains west.

RumOr in Reference to the

FALLING OFF IN BUSINESS.
THERE ARE FEW PLACES THAT
CAN BE REACHED AND THE
WESTERN UNION HAS REDUCED
ITS FORCE.

Rumors on the streets of Richmond
to the effect that both the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph COM
pany's Offices in this city would be
closed Wednesday, were positively de-
MED by the managers of the local of
fices.
The business done at either Office,
however, is not justifying the manage
ment in keeping the telegraph Offices
open. Miss Bessie Burr, in charge
of the Western Union Office while
Manager Arthur Burr is out of the
city. stated to the Palladium that busi-
ness has fallen off more than fifty
per cent since the strike was inau-
gurated. The falling off equailed this
per cent Monday, while since the loss
of business is greater than on Mon
day. Two messengers and one oper-
ator have been laid off at the Wes-
tern Union Office. owing to the ex-
tremely small amount of business be-
ing done.
Since the strike was started there
business done, but there have Leen
few calls filed for telegram messen-

NEW SYSTEM SEEKS
To SECURE WIRES
Telepost Company's Plan for
Providing Telegraph Serv-
ice by Telephone.
WANTS RICHMOND OFFICE.
ONE WILL BE ESTABLISHED
HERE WHENEVER A LEASE OF
TELEPHONE WIRES CAN BE
SECURED.

With the advent of the telepost SER
vice, the promoters of which are now
trying to get control of the wires of
the local Independent telephone COM
pany, telegraph strikes, such as the
one that is now raging over the coun-
try, would have but little effect upon
Richmond.
H. Lee Sellers, a New Yorker. in
vented an electrical apparatus which
could be used in connection with the
telephone wires communicating tele-
graphic messages without interference
with the regular telephone communi-
cations. This has been taken up by
such men as Hon. John w. Goff and
S. S. Mcclure, publisher of McClure's
magazine, and is being promoted. The
new company is joining hands with
the independent telephone interests all
over the country. This is done as 1t
has long been established that both
the Postal Telegraph and Western I'm
ion are intere sted in the Bell tele-
phone company and the Bell company
is interested in both telegraph COM
panies The interests, it has been
proven, are largely identical. The
new field, desires to lease the Ir1de-
pendent telephone wires, that tele-
graphic business may be conducted on
a basis with which neither of the old
er telegraphic companies can COM
pete. The new company would send
fifty words for twenty-five cents,
where as the old telegraph companies
now send ten words for twenty-five
cents. The instrument can send one
thousand words per minute also.
An Office in Richmond.
An office will be located in Rich
mond as soon as the new public serv-
ice company secures a lease on the In
dependent telephone wires. Just when
this will be, however, none of the local
men interested are in position to say.
A. C. Lindemuth, president OF the
Indiana home telephone company,
states that the proposition made TO
the Independent people is a very feas-
ible one The apparatus used in the
department is such that a

alphabet and in the straight English
alphabet, typewriter writing the
message automatically as it is re-
