Perhaps Never Before in His
tory of Community Have So
Many Well Known People
Died Within a Few Weeks
Prominent Residents Who
Have Died Recently.

Within the past two months there
deaths of prominent residents of this
city, men and women who have been
actively identified with the business
and social life of Richmond for years
prior to their deaths.
John NJ. Westcott was the first of
eight prominent citizens to die since
the first of last month. Mr.. Westcott
had for years been actively identified
in the business life of this city and at
the time of his death was looked upon
as the wealthiest resident of Rich
mond. Soon after the death of Mr..
Westcott the many friends of Harry
s. Hates, Sr., were shocked to learn
of his death at Minneapolis. Mr..
Hates was one OF the best known res
idents of this city.
Within the past ten days there has
inent Richmond people to answer the
call. Christian Fetta, well to do and
popular resident of the east end OF the
city, passed away at ripe age. Cap
tain T. w. o. Braffett, who was one
of the best known men in this city
and county. passed away after being
in feeble health for some time. Rich
mond people after hearing OF his
death were shocked at the news that
no Knnwn In
dealer, has suddenly expired while
bathing at his home. On the same
day that Mr.. Cain died DR.. Moses III.
Haynes, one of the oldest residents
of this city, answered the final sum-
mons after an Illness extending ever
four weeks. Mrs. Benjamin Starr,
wife of the founder of the Starr Piano
company and a we'll known and popu-
lar woman, succumbed after long i'll
ness The city was then shocked to
learn of the death at Vincennes of the
Rev. Father d. J. McMullen. Father
McMullen had not been a resident of
Richmond for some time prior to his
death but among all classes of people
here there was not better loved man.
His body was brought here for burial
and as 1t lay in state at ST. Mary's
church hundreds of his former friends.
which not only included Catholics but
people of all denominations as well,
came to pay their final tribute. The
past summer there occurred the death
of another prominent resident of this
city-Charies Francisco. This well
known and popular man suddenly ex-
pired while at work in his garden.

MONEY IS NOT TIGHT
ON THE LOCAL MARKET
Richmond Is Not Affected by
A Stringency.
SEEMS TO BE PLENTY.

Richmond, unlike many other cities
of its size in Indiana and Ohio. is not
affected by the close money market
which seems to prevail generally and
particularly in the East.
George H. Eggemeyer. cashier of the
Second National bank, makes the
statement that the market at the pres
ent time shows fewer signs of
stringency than it has in several
months, as the large manufacturing
concerns are receiving money for
goods delivered during the summer
months and farmers surrounding Rich
mond in the majority of cases have
sold their wheat and other crops and
have plenty of money.
The chief sign of a money market
stringency is the refusal of banking
establishments generally to cash we'll
indorsed notes. but all local concerns
stand willing to do so. In some cities,
it is asserted, that a man can take a
note to a banking establishment with
many endorsements and still not Sc
cure the amount of money he desires.

es placed against them.

This Is an Interesting Feature
Of the Revival Services at
The U. B. Church.
E'MEANING OF PENTECOST."
THIS AND 1.-THE CHRISTIANS
TRUE AMBITION" WE'RE DIS
CUSSED-ARRANG A MEET
ING FOR MEN ON SUNDAY.

Meetings at 2:3O p. M, and 7:3O p. m.
are being held daily in the U. B.
church, corner Eleventh and North B
streets. One of the very interesting
features of the afternoon meetings is
that Mr.. Shannon invites questions and
objections from those present if they
relate to any themes that have been
discussed in the meetings. Thursday
afternoon the theme was "The Chris
tian's True Ambition.' At night the
theme was The Meaning of Pente-
cost" He said that one reason such
questions as what meaneth this?" are
not being asked today is that nothing
extraordinary is coming to pass. We
are too we'll satisfied with the usual
in our meetings. He said that being
made dead 70 sin and alive to God is
something that always attracts atten-
tion and that it is no trouble to get
people to attend meetings where the sin
killing power of God is allowed the
sway. Men may resist God and they
may resist demons. The way to a
holy life is not by human effort alone,
but by allowing God to work in us to
will and to do His good pleasure:
Among the attendants Thursday
night was Rev. T. M. Guild. presiding
elder of the NJ. E. church, who was one
of Mr.. Shapnon's contemporaries in pas
toral work in Marion, Indiana, AMI
with whom he worked in delightful
fellowship.
Mr Shannon's theme Friday night
will be the same as Thursday night.
Arrangements are being made for a
meeting for men and boys Sunday aft
ernoon. Good music, both vocal and
instrumental. will be furnished.

Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Hodge Have
An Experience That Comes
Very Near Proving Fatal to
Both of Them.
CAUSE is ATTRIBUTED
TO BAD WEINERWURST.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hodge Were
Found Unconscious This
Morning at Their Home---
Heroic Measures Revive.

An apparently harmless portion of
weinerwurst eaten by Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Hodge Thursday evening for sup
per, was responsible for their narrow
escape from death this morning. Both
were found unconscious at nine o'clock
alarmed and went to their residence
Both are rapidly improving.
After the usual evening meal We'd
nesday, in which weinerwurst afforded
part of the food, Mr.. and Mrs. Hodge
felt no evil effects. They retired lat
er in the evening ana according to
their statements after they had gained
consciousness, neither became i'll until
they arose this morning. Both were
attacked with a nauseating sickness
and Mr.. Hodge fell to the floor uncon-
scious. Being very i'll, Mrs. Hodge
could make no outcry, but she made a
brave endeavor to reach the side of
her fallen husband. She had taken
but few steps when she too was
stricken by the awful sickness and
sank to the floor unconscious. They
lay in this manner till found about
nine o'clock.
Failed to Appear.
Mr.. Hodge is employed at the Neff
and Nusbaum shoe store as clerk. and
when he did not put in his appearance
there at the customary time his EN-
ployers began to wonder, as he is very
prompt. Much time elapsed and still
Mr.. Hodge did not make his appear
ance and then one of his employers
communicated with Charles Hodge
asking if Roy was i'll. Frightened
Mr.. Hodge went to the home of his
son. On knocking he received no
answer and as everything indicated
that Mr.. and Mrs. Hodge had not aris-
en-. he became still further alarmed
and after a few moments found en-
trance to the house. The PROSTATE
forms of Mr. and Mrs. Hodge greeted
his sight. His first thought was that
they were dead, but closer examina
tiOn showed signs of life. A physician
was Immediately summoned while
neighbors were called to assist in re-
suscitating the unconscious young
peope. On the physicians arrival he.
roic means were used to restore Mr.
and Mrs. Hodge, with good results. AL
though still very ill., both are expected
to recover nicely.
AS both Mr.. and Mrs. Hodge are con-
fident that no other thing which they
had eaten, could have caused the poi
soning, the weinerwurst was blamed

who was here. He examined the pant,
or machinery now here, and says it is
composed Of very machinery, and
worth double its cost He says it can
be made to produce either high or low
voltage, or arc lights or incandescent
lights. He agrees to give it sufficient
attention to install it in first class
shape for very small amount of mon
