Local Men Interested in the
Movement Declare 1t Is
Practically Dead.
is A LOSS TO RICHMOND.
PROPERLY MANAGED AND UP-TO-
= DATE FAIR WOULD RESULT IN
GREAT MATERIAL GOOD TO THE
BUSINESS INTERESTS OF CITY.

The fair project for Richmond is Il
dead one. The attempt at revival
some months ago, and finally postpon-
ed until this fall has again been
shelved.
The fact that more than 5000 Rich
mond people attended county fairs the
past fall, does not seem to con-
Germ local merchants. With a fair at
home, thousands of dollars could be
saved to the city. and there is no ques-
ton that fairs prove a business slim
ulant in a greater or less degree.
There are a half dozen men in the
city willing TO aid in the organization
of a Richmond fair association which
shall be conducted for the benefit of
| the city and not for the profit Of any
individual or company of persons.
! These men have failed however. 10
arouse interest among business men
/ and have given up the task.

HINTS FOR HUNTERS.

f. +. Earle, deputy fish and game
commissioner has drafted a set of
rules, which, if followed, will help TO
avoid many Of the accidents that hap
pen each hunting season. The rules
are:
Never point a gun, whether loaded
or not, at any one.
When you carry your weapon on
your shoulder or under your arm. keep
the muzzle right up or right down.
After leveling your gun. be sure the
trigger is at safety before moving on
again.
When at rest if only for a few mo-
ments, unload your gun.
Never shoot at anything you do not
see clearly.
Never shoot at all unless sure of the
location of the other sportsmen.
In climbing a fence. always advance
your gun first. muzzle up or in front,
holding it high up.
These rules are based on nothing but
common sense. A good general rule is
always to act upon the supposition that
your gun is liable to go Oft at any time
| 1t should always be III such a position
that if it does, no harm will follow.

VIOLATIONS ARE FEW
IN THIS VICINITY
No Obscene Post Cards Sent
Through Mails Locally.
THE POSTMASTER SPEAKS.

Postal cards of obscene nature are
but seldom sent through the local post
office, according to the statement of
Postmaster !. A. Spekenhier today.
The assertion which has been made
freely In past months that post cards
are running the American people and
are more than any one source, per
verters of public morals. does not seem
to apply locally, as Postmaster Spe-
kenhier said that only an average Of a
dozen cards were seized each month
at the local Office and forwarded to
the dead letter office.
The practice has not become general
here and but few cards savoring of the
suggestive are sold in Richmond.
There is a heavy penalty attached
to disobeying Uncle Sans rules in re
gard to sending questionable matter
through the mails. but if each offend
er shall be arrested, and indicted by
the federal grand jury aud sentenced
the jails and prisons of the country
would soon be overtlowing. Higher
postal officials generally are inclined
to look over the matter, but neverthe
less, give orders to seize al objection
able cards and forward them immedi
ately to Washington.

HERMIT MISSING FROM
HIS LAKESIDE CABIN
Harry Rooch Disappears and
Leaves No Trace Behind.
CAREER IS STRANGE ONE.

Rochester, Ind, Nov. 1S-Wrapped
in the mystery of his hermit life, IIar-
ry Roach, at one time James G..
Blaine's private secretary, has myster-
iously disappeared from his log cabin
at Bruce Lake, ten miles west of here.
His cabin is on an island and Roach
dwelt there for several years in soil
tude. living on such fish and game as
he could get and corn, wheat and fruit
taken from farm fields. Once or twice
he became communicative and talked
to hunters Of his interesting life with
Blaine and of the strenuous politics in
cident to Blaine's career, but as rule
he never answered question nor &C
! knowledged a salutation of any kind.
Some think that Roach may have
fallen out of his boat and drowned,
but there is nothing left at his cabin
to indicate what has become of him.
His library consisted of bound vol
umes of Washington and New York
newspapers of the dates of 1882 TO
1887 inclusive.

DECREASE IN BONDS
ASKED BY TRUSTEES
Say Cost Will Be Hardship
Under New Law.
WILL PETITION AUDITOR

Every township trustee in Wayne
county will soon petition the county
auditor for a reduction of their bonds.
Under the new depository law the
obligations of all custodians of public
funds ceases with the placing of such
funds in the banks. but of course they
are liable for the funds from the time
they are received until they are actu
ally deposited.
AS deposits must be daily, tbs
amount they will actually be liable foI
will be considerably reduced and con
sequently they want bonds cut down
Surety company bonds will be giver
and the lower the amount the less the
cost Heretofore most trustees have
been able to secure bOndsmen through
the banks without cost.

Properties of Chlorine.

Chlorine is a greenish yellow gas
with a disa greeable smell. 1t is solu-
BILE in cold water, only slightly soluble
in hot water. 1t destroys color in wet
fabrics and is also a strong disinfect-
ant. Both of these properties are said
to be due to it's power of decomposing
hydrogen compounds, such as water
combining with the hydrogen and liber
ating oxygen, which in nascent state
oxidlzes coloring matter, rendering il
colorless. AS disinfectant it oxidizes
the germs of disease and is in conse
ouence largely used for this purpose.

COURT ABOUT DEFENDANTS
CONDUCT IN HIS HOME.

Joseph Mullenix, who resides on
North Fourteenth street, was fined 81
and costs and sentenced to ten days in
the county jail. for whipping his STEP
son, Orlie Shepard, aged nine years.
last June. The treatment accorded
this child by his stepfather has just
been brought to the attention OF the
police by the county probation officer,
who had learned that young Shepard
was not attending school. On the
witness stand Orlie stated that he came
to live with his mother and stepfathcr
last June. Previous to that time he
had lived with his aunt at Middletown,
20. He said that he wanted to go back
there as his aunt always treated him
kindly. Young Shepard said that
since his advent into the Mullinex
home he had received three hard beat
ings from his stepfather for no cause
school because he had no shoes to wear
and no school books.
Shepard's little playmate, Viola Hold
son. aged eight years. qualified to act
as a witness against MullineX despite
her tender age. She said that she
could distinguish between truth and
falsehoods People who tell lies get
put away where it is real dark said
the little girl. She then stated how
on one day last June Mullinex returned
home drunk. had taken a whip from
Orlie which he was using to play
horse and had given him a severe
beating. Orlie also qualified to testi-
fly against his stepfather. He said
that people who told lies went to c
dark place and stayed there forever.
After telling how Mullinex frequently
returned home drunk. how he had
beaten him three times and how much
he wanted to go back TO his aunt in
Middletown, the court asked Mullinex
what he had to say for himself.
Mullinex stated that he had punished
the boy. but not severely, for breach
es Of displine about the house. He
stated that he was willfn to care for
his step son as long as he wanted to
stay with his mother and that he had
not bought shoes and school books tO1
him because he was financially unable
to do so. Mullinex also denied that
be was drinking man.

FIRST COPPER CAR IS

One Made by Pennsy.
NOT DEEMED A SUCCESS,

Attached to train number SO, AS it
pulled into the Pennsylvania station
this morning was a copper passenger
car, the first and last ever constructed
by the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany The car now has been in ser
vice several years and is the pioneer
of metal car construction. The entire
car is built of copper, but the type
has never been regarded a success
owing to the immense amount OF
money required to construct them.
No. '8163' as it is known to Pennsyl,
vania employees, has figured in several
collisions and 'sideswipes'' but has
never been affected other than to be
given a long ugly scar which adorns
it on one side. The coach was built
when the minds Of passenger operat
ing officials, first turned to metal pas

does not appear in sympathy with the

that there are numerous temperance

believe that the question should be
