NEW BOILER GIVES
1900 HORSE POWER
Starr Piano Company Has Ad-
ded to Equipment at Its
Large Plant.
SOFTENER AND PURIFIER,
a DEVICE OF THIS KIND, THE
SECOND FOR THIS CITY, HAS
ALSO BEEN PUT IN-NEW PRO-
CESS AUTOMATIC.

The Starr Piano company, has just
boiler in its power plant. The new
boiler, which is the exact duplicate of
one they purchased about a year ago,
will give them total of 1900 horse
power.
The company has also recently built
in connection with its power house, Il
Eureaka Automatic softener and puri-
fier. 1t is the only softener in the
city except the one used by the Penn
sylvania shops. 1t consists of two up
right connected tanks. The larger
tank is filled with limewater On top
of this tank is a small receptacle con-
tanning sodash, which by an automatic
process filters down through the lime
water. The hard water is pumped
first into the smaller tank, and then
forced through the solution of lime
water and potash. in the larger tank.
particles are taken out and settle d
the bottom, leaving the purified water
as soft as rainwater. The Starr peo-
pie have experienced much difficulty
to keep their boilers clean. After they
had used the automatic softener for
one month nearly 1000 pounds of scale
were taken from one boiler. The
scales had formed during the use of the
hard water and after the new system
was installed and the scales were no
longer deposited, the expanding of the
pipes caused this deposit to fall off.
The new process is almost wholly
automatic, requiring only about one
half hour Of attention each day. 1t
is also very economical. as the only
chemicals required are lime and So
dash. These cost but a few cents
each day.

Was Mistaken on Many OC-
casions for Judge Hager
Of Louisville.
WAS GREATLY PUZZLED.
FINALLY THE MATTER WAS Ex-
PLANNED AND 1T WAS ALSO EVIL
DENT WHY HAAS WAS FROWN-
ED UPON.

Judge Hager of Kentucky, the dem
ocratic candidate for governor on a
local option temperance platform, has
gray hair and mustache. Edgar NJ
Haas of this city also has gray hair
and mustache, and behind this, there
lies story.
This week, Mr.. Haas attended the
sessions of the Olive Branch Luther
an synod held at Louisville. On his
arrival there and during his journeys
over the city. he was the ever CON
slant source of attraction. AS he
walked along the streets. boot blacks.
pedestrians and even people driving
turned to take look at Haas. Before
long it became embarrassing. He sup
posed other men had gray hair and
mustaches in Louisville. He did not
think that he had done anything to
elicit the wide attention but yet he
didn't know. He incidentally thought
that he might. with heavy foot. have
tramped on some southern traditional
custom, much to the diSpleasure of
Louisville citizens. Cold drops of per-
spiratiOn broke out on his forehead
on several instances, as he was the
victim of the bold stares of the Louis
Vile people.
The mystery was explained when
he attended one of the sessions of the
synod when two Louisville business
men apprised him of his resemblance
to Judge Hager, the democratic can
didate The resemblance was mary
elous, they said. Then Haas under
stood why he was the object of so
much attention, but still he could not
understand why the glances given
him were so critical and cold He too
was enlightened on this. All Ken
lucky except Louisville is in sympa-
thy with the temperance policies be-
ing followed by the democratic candi-
dates In Louisville. however this is
sue is being fought against with
might and main. AS Hager is an ad-
vocate of temperance, Haas therefore
received the icy shoulder, people
thinking he was Hager.

c., c. & L. Road Has More
Trouble on Its Hand on
South Fifth Street.
RESIDENTS OF SOUTH SIDE.
THEY ALLEGE THAT THE BRIDGE

STEEP FOR VEHICLES HEAVILY
LOADED.

signed by a large number of residents
of the South Side. against the bridge
recently constructed by the c. c. q l..
railroad over it's tracks at South Fifth

county commissioners. The protest
against the bridge has been made be-
cause it is alleged that the brige part
of the grade is too steep for vehicles
carrying an ordinarily heavy load
The commissioners have as yet taken
no action on the remonstrance nor will
they until they have thoroughly inves-
tigated the situation. 1t is the gen
erai opinion that the grade of the
bridge can be reduced without the rail
road company being obliged to go to
the expense of remaking the bridge
Would Be the Second.
If the railroad company is compelled
to remodel its bridge over the South
Fifth street tracks, it VIII be the sec
ond time that the bridge has been re-
modelled since built. Under an act Of
the last legislature. the c., C. & l..

heighth of this bridge. This work
was completed only about two weeks
ago. Now, to the surprise of the rail
road company. large number of resi-
dents of the South Side demonstrated
against this Improvement on the
grounds stated
The grade of the road which leads 20
each side of the bridge is satisfactory
to the demonstrators. but they claim
the bridge itself is entirely too steep.

was standing within few yards of the

The big bag began settling a few
hundred yards from the house and
then passed through an opening be-
tween the Morrow home and a large
elm tree scarcely fifty feet apart. The
ciatter of the barnyard fowls, the he'll

Mrs. Morrow says that man was

A NUMBER OF TIMES AND is
NOW SERVING A SENTENCE
FOR DRUNKENNESS
WANTED-To do washings. Mrs
David Herbert. 600 North Nine
teenth street

The above want ad'' which appears
today in the classified columns of the
Palladium tells briefly a most pathetic
story-the story of quiet. honest little
woman thrown on the mercy of the
world by worthless drunken hus-
band who, has in the past two years
spent the greater part of his time III
the county Jail. At the present time
he is confined there The county
provides him with warm quarters, a
comfortable bed and three square
meals per day. Life in the county Jail
is no punishment to Herbert--he thor
Oughly enjoys it. He is a living ar
gument i'll favor of a county work
house. On the other hand. while Her.
bert is living a life of ease as the guest
of the county, his devoted wife is fore
ed to fight with the world to obtain q
meagre existence for herself and three
children. Now grim, cold winter fac
es her and the little woman wants to
do washing so that she and her little
ones will not suffer from cold and hun
ger.
Herbert's Bad Record.
Herbert. as has been stated. has
been arrested numerous times. princi-
pally on charges of intoXicatiOn and
cruelty to his wife and children. Sew
eral times he has been arrested for get
ting drunk and running his family out
of their home. Last summers while
serving time in the county Jail. he in
company with Earl Huntington AMI

capped from the county jail. They
were all captured by Sheriff Meredith
at Eaton and returned to the county
Jail. Herbert then made a pretense
of having got religion" and every day
until his sentence expired. he exhorted
his fellow prisoners to accept Chris
tianity.
No sooner had he been released from
the Jail than he forgot his good inten-
uons aud in a short time was taken
into custody again for getting drunk
and abusing his wife and children.

Does Not Think 1t Would Be a
Good Move to Erect Build
ing on the Grounds of the
Easthaven Hospital.
BELIEVES BEST PLACE
is NEAR CENTERVILLE.
He Would Have the Insane
Cared For, Previous to
Admission to Easthaven, on
Infirmary Grounds.

County Commissioner c. f. Wiley
consulted with Amos Butler Of the
state board of charities, in regards to
the proposed plan of erecting a coun-
ty institution where insane people can
be confined pending their admission to
the Eastern Indiana Insane hospital
at IGasthaven.
Col Wiley states that Mr.. Butler
did not regard with favor the plan
proposed by the county board of char
tiles to have this institution erected
on the grounds of the Easthaven in
sane hospital. He stated that Mr..
Butler suggested that the best 1oca-
tion for this institution would be on
the grounds of the county infirmary
near Centervile. Mr.. Butler stated
that this is the logical place for such
an institution and that the insane
could be better cared for there than
any place else.
Not on State Ground.
Mr.. Butler could not see the feas-
(bility of placing a county institution
on state ground and he objected to
the plan of building an annex to the
sounty jail where insane people could
be confined on the ground that it
would not relieve the conditions which
exist at the county Jail now. He stat
I'd that by making an insane depart
ment to the county jail the sane priS-
bners and those people who resided i'll
the vacinity of the jail would still be
annoyed. Mr.. Butler also stated that
he did not think the sheriff should
have the direct responsibility of car
Ing for the insane placed under the
guardianship of the county.
Shows the Advantages.
Mr.. Butler argued that by building
an institution for the insane at the
county infrmary these unfOrtunates
would be so located as not to bother
anyone and at the same time they
would have the benefit of fresh cOun-
try air. He said that the building
could be erected sufficient distance
from the county infirmary building SO
that the inmates of the latter building
would not be annoyed by the distur-
Dances created by the insane people.
Mr.. Butler was enthusiastic over the
proposed plan to build an institution
In Wayne county for the temporary
care of the insane and he urged that
the county commissioners lose no time
In carrying the plan into effect. He
stated that it would be a great thing
If all the counties in the state would
Emulate the example which he was
confident Wayne county would set.
