SCORE BIRD ORNAMENTS.
kokomo Women Condemn the Use Of
Natural PIumage on Hats.

The following probably will be of
interest to a number of Richmond
women and especially to the club cir
cles of the city:
Kokomo, Ind, March 23-At the
meeting of the Symposium the use of
birds as hat ornaments was condemn
ed. The women, in particular, singled
out the abuse in relation to aigrettes,
where the mother bird is killed for a
tuft of feathers. while the young are
in the nest and need her so badly. The
women declared this practice wicked
and cruel and defended by no just
reasons. Several of the women OF the
club wore hats with bird plummage
on. but ii was found that this orna-
mental work was artificial and that
the life of no bird had been sacrific-
ed
The action of the Symposium is all
the more noticeable as it is one of the
most conservative of women's clubs
in Kokomo. The chief paper of the
occasion was read by Miss Minnie
Bruner of Wabash. The meeting be-
came a defense of the English spar
row. Its virtues and good points
were exhaustively discussed by the
Symposium. 1t was determined to be
the cheer of the winter season"

LOCAL AGENT NOTIFIED.
PULLMAN AND SLEEPER CAR
SERVICE OVER c., C. &L.
Local People Can Leave Here at and
Catch a Sleeper at Muncie
For the Windy City.

In conjunction with the announce
ment that the through trains would
begin running through to Chicago
April Z, the local c. c. & l.. ticket
agent has also received the Pullman
and sleeper car arrangement. Rich
mond people desiring to take a sleeper
for Chicago on the night trains can
leave Richmond at seven O'Clock in
the evening and on arriving at Muncie
can Immediately enter sleeper:
which will be dropped there by the
morning train, south bound The
sleeper northward is held at Muncie
until tie night express from Cincin
natl to Chicago picks it up. There was
some thought of dropping the sleeper
at Richmond each morning but it was
not thought feasible as there was no
use in bringing it this far south.
This arrangement for the north
bound sleepers will remain in vogue
until the more elaborate trains are
placed in service. At that time it is
probable that Pullman cars will be
run through the entire distance from
to Chicago and vice-versa.

HOW UNCLE SANS POSTOFFICE INSPECTORS
CATCH THOSE WHO PILFER VALUABLE MAIL

en-; the money taken out the envelope
resealed and the letter sent on to its
destination.
Two Ways to Catch Them.
There are two ways to catch a
postofice thief. One is by constant
watching and the other by decoy let
tiers, with these and large supply of
patience the game can generally be
landed. 1t often requires months to
catch one of these thieves. 1t is one
of the most annoying and difficult
lines of detective work man ever
engaged in and requires the most
earnest application. Not a single cir
cumstance or detail must be overlook
ed or neglected OF course luck helps
us out sometimes as was the case in
certain city where several inspec-
tors were trying to ascertain where
and who was taking valuable letters
There came an exceptionally heavy
rain one day in the town where the
Office was located, and it was founS
that there was leak in the roof
which threw the water directly upon
the asserting table. The roof had to
be repaired and a workman was call
ed VINO soon opened a good sized hole
in the roof. When this hole was open
ed an inspector went to the postmast-
er and asked him to withdraw the
workman from the roof as he wanted
to make some observations from that
point. The superintendent immediat-
ely withdrew the workman and the
inspector went to the roof amidst the
downpouring rain. He looked down
through the hole several moments
and his efforts were soon rewarded as
he saw one of the clerks closely ex-
anime a letter and then slip it into
his pocket. The inspector immediate
ly left the roof and went into the office
and fronted the man At first he
protested his innocense but when the
inspector reached into the clerks
pocket and drew forth the letter the
fellow saw the jig was up and he was
placed within the confines Of the
come alongs. 1t is needless to say
that he was sent sailing over the road, |
that to many people means no ending |

Likes to Catch Robbers.
There is a class of people who
take great delight in capturing and
that is postoffice burglars and robbers.
those men who break into offices AMI
blow the safes, secure the loot and
make their getaway
AS a general rule these men are
'yeggmen. those buns and hoboes who
are confirmed crooks, and go travelling
over the country, footing everything
that comes in sight. AS general

but use those materials with which
the can get hold of, when arriving IL
a town, where the depreciation is to be
committed. Some of them carry
small drills with them all the time. but
as a general rule such is not the case.
Thes 'yeggmen' are the worst crimi-
nails with which we have TO deal, but
they are not as hard to capture, as We
can take the police departments of the
different cities into our confidence.
and as the result. the whole country is
keeping lookout for this class of
crooks. But when we are after

Secret Passageways Always Locked.
Owing to the great publicity which
has been given the arrangements Of the
in the local federal build
ing. Postmaster Spekenhier is almost
daily besieged with requests by those
unacc aIn.ed with postotfice rules. to
go through the passageways. in which
the federal inspectors watch the move
ments of the clerks and others in the
office. Crowds of school children
coming to Richmond from country
schools, invariably seek the postoffice

the passageways.
This they cannot do for two rea-
sons. The postoffice rules forbid it, |
and second there are no keys in tic
city which will fit the door leading to |

owned solely by postCffice inspectors.
Ill locks on such doors being of uni

TRAINS TO COME OFF.

1t is given out at the local Fem
sylvania station that according to
rumors circulating along the entire
Pennsylvania system there would be
many accommodation trains taken off
on the various divisions because OF re
cent adverse legislation regarding pas
senger rates and mail contracts. Lo
cal ticket agents are awaiting the new
Pennsylvania time cards, which will
be issued within the course of the
next few days and it is understood
that at least two accommodations on
the Richmond division will be taken
off. 1t is thought but not known, that
an accommodation will be taken off
east of Richmond making a total of
three. The removal of the latter train
however is merely conjecture.

GoIdie Moore Writes of Bio
Bend Country and Its
Many Advantages.
LAND is RISING IN VALUE.
HARVEST COMMENCES IN JULY
AND is SELDOM EVER BOTH
Erred BY RAINS-THE ELE-
MENTS ARE QUIET.

Goldie Moore, who has located 16t
acres of land in Douglas county Wash
ington-the Big Bend county-sends
long article to relatives in Wayne
county descriptive of the country.
The following are extracts:
The altitude of the country is 1900
feet above sea level, which accounts
for the excellent climate to be found
at any time of the year. Pure air
blows up the valley of the Columbia
and makes it exceptionally healthful
at all seasons.
Our winters are usually mild, the
thermometer rarely going as low as
zero. The summer weather is never
too hot and the nights are always
cool one or more pair of blankets be-
ing needed for comfort Such thing
as sunstroke or a tornado is unknown,
and electrical storms are very rare.
The government records for the past
ten years show that the annual preci-
pitation has been Is IL inches.
The soil is a very light brownish
substance, slightly resembling ashes,
and is mostly volcanic ash and sandy
loam
The value of land in the Quincy val
ley ranges from S. to $25 per acre, the
changes in the value being the loca-
ton and not the soil. To show the
county is coming to the front 1t might
be stated that four years ago any OF
this land could be bought from 50
cents to 81 per acre. A few of the
homesteads and homestead relinauish-
ments can yet be obtained in this val
ley. but newcomers are rapidly taking
them In.
Douglas county has the purest of
soft water Wells are dug or drilled
from so to 300 feet deep, and the sup
ply of water is inexhausible. Failure
to obtain water within that depth is
unknown. The Columbia river bounds
the country on the west and south,
and with the railroad offers excellent
for transportation.
Harvest commences about the first
of July and continues until October,
and is very seldom if ever bothered
with rain.

No fertilizers are used, not even
manure, and our old settlers will tell
you their land is becoming more pro-

the weather will permit, sometimes
until nearly Christmas.
Earthquakes, cyclones, billiards
droughts, sunstrokes, grasshoppers,
potatoe bug, chinch bug and crop fail

land.

WILL BE TAKEN OUT.

The Pennsylvania offices here have
received notice that all thirty thous-
and pound capacity freight cars will
be taken out of service owing to the
fact that the shippers are demanding
cars of greater capacity. The 10000
lbs capacity cars are being greatly
favored by shippers and the railroad
is building cars of this size. There
will be several thousand Pennsylvania
freight cars thrown out under this or
der. although a car of most any char
acter is needed badly at present.

!, PAYS NO ATTENTION,

According to the information just
given out the Pennsylvania railroad
is hauling fruit cars to the east from
California and when the cars return
they are loaded with other kinds of
freight, such as farming implements
and merchandise. The owners of the
private car lines, it is said, are kick
ing but the "Pennsy" is paying no
heed. as the road is badly in need of
cars and is using the private car lines
in order to help relieve freight con-
ditions.
