One day of the Richmond chautau-
uua's fifth session has passed and
though the weather has not been at
all satisfactory the enthusiasm of the
patrons and the character of the pro-
gram already given forecast most
profitable year.
At the lecture Friday night by Dr.
Jas. s. Kirtley, pastor of the f1rst
Baptist church at Elgin, ILL.,, there was
an attendance of 1900 and all thor
Dughly enjoyed the evening. DIR. Kirt-
lev discoursed on yellowstone Park
through which he journeyed last year.
The lecture was splendidly 1llustrat-
ed with 12O lantern slides in gorgeous
colors. The pictures were the finest
ever displayed in Richmond.
DR.. Kirtley's leading paragraph
which gives a general idea of the lee
ture follows:
..If YOU wish to get into the midst
pf the histories and traditions and
institutions and civilization of the CEN
turtles you should visit European and
Oriental countries But if you wish
to see natures wonders and glories
and beauties and subhmities they are
waiting for you out west; for the
worlds scenic attractions, bulk larger
and assume more extraordinary form
in the United States and Canada, be-
ginning with the Rockies and going
West than in any other part OF the
world. Among the wonders of that
wonderland. those that are to be
found in Yellowstone Park easily out
rank all others. If you want to see
geysers there are only three places
where they can be found-in Iceland
where there are three principal gey-
sers and several insignificant ones:
I'm New Zealand where there are
few small geysers; in Yellowstone
Park where there are a hundred gey-
sers of all sizes and shapes, histories
and habits. There are four thousand
hot springs of all sizes and shapes
colors and constituencies, histories
and habits. There are thirty five
lakes. ranging from the lakelet &c
the Yellowstone lake which is the
largest lake at that elevation in the
world except one, being 7.741 feet
above the level of the sea and having
a shore line of 100 miles. There is a
canyon. the Grand canyon of the Vel.
lowstone which for the blending OF
the beautiful and the majestic and
for the variety of elements, which ma
ture has assembled to build and beau
tify canyon has not its equal on the
face of the earth. There are petrified
forests. eleven of them. separated in
space by volcanic cement and periods
of growth by long geological ages"

1t Has Been Turned Over to
Edwin HaWIey, Head
Of the Clover Leaf.
PART OF A BIG SYSTEM.
DEAL WAS MADE UNDER ONE
CONDITION AND THAT is THAT
THE ALTON is NOT FINED FOR
REBATING.

New York, Aug. 24.-Edwin Hawley
has at last completed railway sys-
tenn that he started out ten years ago
to build The last link was secured
cago & Alton was turned over to him
and his friends by ID. G. Reid and 9TH
ers of the Rock Island. The sale is
nominally to the Glover Leaf. Haw-
lev owns the Glover Leaf and will be-
come president of the new company.
The new system will be composed OF
the Clover Leaf, the Alton, the Iowa
Central and the Minneapolis st.
Louis. 1t can be put together without
violating any law, as the roads are not
parallel or competing ones.
Completes a Big System.
The Glover Leaf has 451 miles of
apolis & st. Louis 919 miles and the
Iowa Central 569. This gives the new
system nearly 5000 miles of track.
A few links are to be built connecting
the roads The first construction to
be built will be seven miles connect
ing the Glover Leaf and Alton.
The new system will be able to
make connections with ali the great
railroad systems of the country.
This deal with the Alton is made
under one condition-that the road is
not fined by the government for re-
batting. This deal is a long step to-
wards peace in the railroad world.
President Shonts will probably de-
vote all his time to the local traction
system. With Mr. Hawley in this deal
are Thomas II. Hubbard and Henry
z. Huntington. They represent all
that is left of the old Coils Hunting
ton party in the west.

SUBSIDY IS SECURED
FOR C., C.. & |. ROAD
Committee Has Practically
Completed Its Work.
WEBSTER is THE WINNER.

Webster, Ind, Aug. 24-The COM
mittee having in charge the matter of
securing 81 900 for a subsidy for the
c., G.. & l.. railroad have practically
completed its work. James Unthank
has collected nearly all that was sub
scribed and there is little else to do.
There is little question that in less
than six months Webster will be on
the map. the first time in its history.
Farmers anticipate great convent
ences as a result of the stopping of
freight and passenger trains here. The
long hauls of grain, live stock and pro-
duce for the markets will be rendered
unnecessary, saving time and money
in year greater than required by the
road for the concession about to be
secured.

MOTHER GR|EV|NG
FOR MISSING SON
Frank SamueISon, Richmond.
Searching for His Broth
er, Edward.
GONE MORE THAN 2 YEARS.
WILL BE PRINTED
DESCRIBING THE YOUNG MAN
AND THEY WILL BE SENT
BROADCAST.

Frank Samuelson of this city is
searching for his brother Edward
Samuelson, who has been missing for
the past two years. Mr.. Samuelson
at police headquarters this
morning and asked Chief Bailey to as
sist in his search for his lost brother.
Circulars will be printed describing
the young man and these circulars
will be distributed broadcast through
out the country.
Frank Samuelson stated that his
mother is worrying herself over the
continued absence of the prodigal
son, who was last heard of two years
ago. Whether he is dead or alive IS
a case of much anxiety to Mrs. Sam
uelson, who wants her son Edward, II
he is still alive, to be with her the re-
naming years of her life.
At police headquarters this morn
ing Mr.. Samuelson stated that his
brother over two years ago had had a
violent quarrel with his father, with
whom he was never able to get along
and that the young man had left his
home with vow never to return.
Since then the father has died. Frank
Samuelson is of the opinion that his
brother Edward does not know of his
fathers death and he informed Chief
Bailey that he thought if Edward
knew his father was dead he would
consent to return home again.
Has Wandering Habit.
Frank Samuelson states that his
brother is a victim of the wandering
habit and that he has been told that
Edward since leaving home has spent
most of his time travelling about the
country with circus, theatrical and
other amusement companies. Mr..
Samuelson thinks that his brother
makes his headquarters in Chicago
and he asked Chief Bailey to request
the Chicago police to make thorough
search for the young man in that city.
He will also advertise in some of the
Chicago papers hoping against 1ope
that his brother will read the adver-
tise.hent. AS the police departments
in all the principal cities and towns In
this part of the country will soon nave
a complete description of the missing
young man it is quite probable that he
will be located in the event that he
is still alive.

DOTY IS VICTIM OF
PRACTICAL JOKERS
HaStenS to Richmond to Serve
Personal Notice on the
County Clerk.
WROTE A LETTER.
YOUNG MAN WHO is TO WE'D
MISS BLANCHE HALE, FINDS
THAT HE HAS A SCORE TO SET
TIE WITH FRIENDS.

Ernest Doty, of Indianapolis, form
er well known Milton young man, was
the victim Friday of a practical joke
on the part Of his associates in the
firm with which Mr.. Doty is now con-
nected. Mr.. Doty is engaged to be
married to Miss Blanch Hale of Mil
ton and the wedding date has been set
for September 2. Thereby hangs a
tale and an interesting one. too.
When Doty sprung the glad news on
his fellow employees at indianapolis a
few days ago they all congratulated
him. One of the number. however, al
so consoled with him. why, Ernest,
YOU won't be able to get married on
September % said this friend, as he
tipped a wink to the other men in the
office.
''Why not?" asked Doty, thoroughly
alarmed.
For this reason replied the friend.
when you left old Wayne county you
forfeited your citizenship in that
county. Now under an act passed by
the last legislature if bride-to-be
lives in one county and the prospect
i've bridegroom lives in another, he
must notify the clerk of the county In
which the prospective bride resides
thirty days prior to the date OF the
marriage that he intends to take out
application papers for marriage IL
cense."
Notified the Clerk.
That's right" chimed in the other
iokers. Poor Doty was at his wit $
end. He had not notified Clerk Penny
of the Wayne circuit court. So that
the wedding day would not have to be
postponed any later than the latter
mart of September he sat down and
wrote to Mr.. Penny of his intentions
to wed Miss Hale of. Milton. he sent
the communication by special delivery

he had written to Mr. Penny nolfylne

! Hale they came TO him with ione
faces and informed him that notflca
t;on of marriage had to be made to

Completely distracted, young Doty
boarded an interurbaD car In lndian

here at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon he
went at once TO the court house ano
