JOSIE BOND AGAIN JAILED
Well Known. Character Had to be
Dragged Along the Street.

Josie Bond, one of the most motor
ious police characters in the city, was
arrested yesterday about 8 o'clock
for associating with Jim Clark, col
ored, another wei known police char
acter. The two were captured in an
alley between Fourth and Fifth streets
by Sergeant McManus. The Bond
woman was taken down Main street
enroute to the city Jail and Sergeant
McManus had to drag her nearly ev-
cry inch of the way. Josie succeeded
in creating much trouble and the cpl
thets she applied to her captor could
be heard for considerable distance.
She was put into Jail, swearing and
resisting to the last
The memory of man runneth not
back far enough to remember the first
time Josie was "pinched." Since that
time she has kept the police busy. I'M
prisonment has no effect on her and
the attempt made by Prosecutor Jes-
sup about a year ago to reform the
woman failed miserably. With the po-
lice the question of what to do with
Josie?" is an unsolved one. Clark and
Josie will be given a hearing in the
court this afternoon. Clark has re-
tanned Attorney Henry U. Johnson to
defend him.

LIGHTS FOR FRANCHISE
The Proposition that HagerS-
town Will Make.
THE MOVE UNUSUAL ONE

Hagerstown, Ind, March 16.-When
the projected interurban road strikes
Hagerstown it will receive reception
unlike those extended by many other
towns. Hagerstown needs electric
lights and does not care to assume
the obligation of establishing a system
of her own. 1t has been conceived
by some of the solons that the inter
urban people can be made to furnish
lighting for the streets without cost
to the town. Ii is said that the fran
chise is worth great deal of money
and the town should receive some
thing in return for the rights granted
the railroad company.
1t is believed that people who are
back of the road have heard of the
demand that may be made in return
for the franchise and have instructed
the surveyors to run the route north
of town. If the road should be built
on the route followed by the survey
Ors. Hagerstown will have the long
looked for interurban station entire
~ out of town. Many citizens are in
favor of allowing the road TO be built
right through town and along the
highway east and west. The surveyors
would give out no information about
the time when the actual work of con-
struction would begin.

RUNAWAY WAS EXCITING
Spirited Team of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Norris Frightened at Eighth

One of the most exciting runaways
that has occurred in the city recently

allowing the tongle to the vehicle in
which they were riding to fall to the
street. The spirited team became
frightened and started across Eighth
street dragging the blackboard Mr..
Norris efforts to bring them to halt
were unavailing. The tongue of the
blackboard smashed into. a-curb stone,
where it was broken. allowing the
team to get away. They ran into the
sidewalk in front Of the Peter John
son hardware store, where telegraph
pole separated them, breaking the har
ness. They ran east for several

injured, but both were badly frighten-
ed. From the general appearance. of
things for time it looked as if both
would be severely injured.

Must Import Natural Ice.

"Only half crop was harvested this
year." said local natural ice dealer
yesterday in speaking of the crop
this winter. Yes, he continued"
there were only about eight days that
we could harvest ice and the warm
weather completely ruined our local
crop. 1t will be necessary for us to
import large quantity of ice to prop
erly care for our patrons in this city
during the summer months
From reports coming to Richmond,
the natural ice crop is short all over
this section of Indiana and Ohio, al
though local dealers say that large
harvest was made in northern Indiana
and Ohio.

BUSINESS is EXPANDING
BradStreet for Week Shows
Healthy Condition.
SPRING WEATHER is FELT

New York, March 16.--Bradstreet's
today says:
Spring business has further expand
ed, jobbing operations being maintain
year. while retail trade has felt the
stimulus of the approach of Easter
and the appearance of springlike
weather Increased complaints as to
short stocks in some lines. notably
dry goods, come from many points
and slow delivery is still complained
Of Industry is aesive except where, as
i'm the floodes sections Of the Ohio
valley, mill operations are restricted
While business is large there is claim
ed to be no tendency to purchase be-
yond legitimate requirements. and the
prospects favor active demand and a
large turnover.
While the green bug has ruined
wheat and oats in Texas, the situation
in Kansas and the Southwest general
ly is excellent and the impression
seems to be that damage reports have
been considerably exaggerated for
market effect. In the South prepare
lions are progressing under favorable
soil conditions for a large cotton acre
age.
In the pig iron market buyers and
sellers are maneuverilS for position
as regards prices, and while little new
business has been placed, except in
the birmingham district, the under
tone appears stronger. Some foreign
foundry iron is being offered at prices
that are much below those quoted for
the domestic product. Production in
February was far below that OF Janu-
airy. but the daily output increased
somewhat over January, the largest
part being furnished by tao leading i'll
terest and not by the merchant fur
naces, whose product has the most in
fluence on the open niarke- All fin
ished lines are active. with specifica-
tions coming in freely. Pipes and
tubes are in brisk request and the
leading interest has withdrawn piices
and notified the trade that no orders
will be taken for shipment this side
of June 1. Sheet and tinplate mills
were never so rushed and fancy prem
iums prevail.
In the wool market firmness pre-
walls and in the centers il, foreign
grades, arrivals of which ere very
heavy Stocks of domestic wool are
small, though sales Thereof are of mod
crate proportions and many grades are
cleaned up. The mills are still run
ming on worsteds. and therefore staple
woods are in good demand. General
opinion points to less contracting in
the West this season than for several
years. owing largely to high money,
moderate interest in domestic woods
and the tendency of the mills to carry
only what wool is actually needed.

WHAT PURE ICE CREAM
WILL MEAN IN INDIANA
State Board of Health EStab-
fishes Rule.
PERMITS LITTLE GELATINE

Complying with the insistent de-
mand of the ice cream manufacturers
of the state, the state board of health
has adopted the standard of purity for
ice cream under the new pure food
law that went into effect last week.
This was the one standard determin-
ed at the meeting of the state board of
health in the office of the secretary,
yesterday afternoon
The standard set by the state beard
of health is not the same as the feder-
al standard set under the federal pure
food and drug law. 1t permits of the
use of a little gelatine in making what
is to be called pre- cream" and also
sets the minimum amount of butter fat
atabout s per cent, instead of IA per
cent, which the federal standard pro-
yideS.
Rule as to Ice Cream.
The rule as to ice cream is as fol
lows:
ice cream is frozen product, con
tanning not less than 8 per cent of
butter fat and IS per cent of milk
solids, with the addition of sugar
(sucrose) and with or without nat
ural favOring and not to exceed seven
tenths of / per cent of gelatine.
Fruits, nuts, candied and preserved
fruits and nuts, chocolate and other
similar products shall be classed as
fiavorings, and ice cream containing
such ingredients shall conform to the
standard above specified
Explaining this rule, DR.. ]. n. Hur-
ty, secre tary of the state board of
health, said that it was to be under
stood that ice cream manufacturers
could make ice cream differing from
the standard.
IF the product does differ from
that standard. it can not be called
pure ice cream, however, and the label
will have to show the contents he

DID NOAH ENTER HIS
ARK ST. PATR|CK'S DAY.
Old English Calendars Give
Date as March II.
MRS. NOAH TROUBLESOME

Today, March II is famed not alone
because it is st. Patrick's day, Ire
lands great patron saint but the ear
~ English calendars pretend that on
that day Moan entered the ark, to
which is added the further informa-
ton under the 10Th of April. Here
Noah went out of the ark" In one
of the earliest mystery plays Noah
is presented as carrying TO his dame
the news of the imminence of the
flood, whereupon she abuses him for
his credulity, sneers at him as an
habitual bearer of bad news, and COM
plains of the sad life she lived with
him. He tells her to hold her tongue
and as she becomes more abusive ne
strikes her. She returns the blow
with interest and Noah is compelled
TO run away TO his work on the ark.
Dragged into the Boat.
When that vessel is finished she re-
fuses to go into such a crazy looking
craft, but finally reconsiders and as
sists in fairly good temper in driving
the couples of beasts and birds into
the ark. She refuses to embark for
the voyage unless he agrees to allow
a number of the neighbor women, her
cronies. to go with them, and that IL
he does not accede TO her terms he
may look out for another wife. Then
Shem Ham and Japhet appear and
drag their mother into the ark
During the middle ages, in the folk
lore of that time, the quarrels of Noah
and his wife were popular narratives.
