Turned a Mirror to the Wall
Without Breaking the
Glass in 1t.
LINOLEUM WAS RIPPED.
FORCE OF THE SHOCK FELL ON
THE KITCHEN, WHERE THE
FAMILY WAS GATHERED, BUT
NONE WAS HURT.

Lightning played queer caper at
the home of Frank Rich, two and one
half miles north of Richmond, We'd
nesday afternoon. 1t struck a tree
near the house, and jumped to the
corner of the kitchen. Weather-board-
ing was torn from the corner of the
building, the plastering was loosened
and some of it fell and considerable
damage was done. One of the odd
features was the turning of a mirror
around so that the glass faced the
wall but was not broken. Wooden
shutters protecting the windows were
torn loose but the glass in the win
dows was not damaged. The current
passed to the cook stove and then to
the floor, ripping the linoleum for a
considerable distance.
The family all chanced to be in the
kitchen at the time and were show
cred with plastering, but no one was
shocked. 1t was considered very
fortunate and unusual escape. So far
as known, no other place in that vicin-
ity was struck.

THESE SEPTEMBER
DAYS NOT WARMEST
This Is Only a False impress
sion of the SWeItering
PopuIace.
THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS.
ExTENUATION OF THE HEATED
TERM is MIGHTY PLEASING TO
THE FARMERS WHO HAVE
GROWING CORN.

The very warm weather of the past
the remark that the weather is warmer
than any September in recent years.
This is not the case, however, as the
warm days of this year are no warmer
than those of last. The highest point
the thermometer has reached during
the week was 50, Sunday. On Monday
the mercury registered 50, while on
Tuesday and Wednesday it registered
- degrees as the highest point. The
minimum temperature for the four
days was 30. 63, 30 and 61.
1t is thought the cool days and
nights of the past three weeks and the
sudden change is responsible for the be-
lief that the present weather is warm
er than in past years. The change
was sudden and hence more noticeable.
There has been Al of an inch pre-
cipitation during the week. A threat
ening thunder cloud swept over Rich
mond Wednesday evening. The rain
fell in sheets for short time. but only
.16 of an inch was recorded at the
pumping station. The lightning was
intense for few minutes.
With the continued warm weather,
thunder and electrical storms are pre-
dicted by the weather sages of Rich
mond 1t is said the rapid change of
the weather is conducive to such and at
this season of the year the storms are
more severe than any other when caus-
ed by rapid weather changes.
The warm weather is welcomed by
the farmers of Wayne county. AL
though a rapid weed grower, the farm
ers care nothing for this. 1t is the
corn they are worrying about and as
each warm day postpones little fur
ther the earliest frost. the farmers be-
come happier. 1t is said that an early
September frost would do thousands OF
dollars worth of damage to the corn
crop.

Rails Are Being Hauled to
South e Street for the PW-
pose, 1t Is Thought of Evad-
Ing City Ordinance.
CITY ATTORNEY STUDY
SAYS is NOT WORRIED
Operation Over a New Line
Could Be Prevented by City
Ordinance Shippers Are
Becoming Impatient.

All today truck loads of rails were
transported from the Pennsylvania
railroad to South E street. 1t IS al
most an assured fact now that the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern
will build a line along South E street
connecting with Main street by lines
which will probably run along South
Fifth street and South Twenty-thlrd
street. City Attorney Study is of the
opinion that the traction company is
TRANSPORTING rails to South r. street
for the purpose of "bIuffing" the city.
Under the terms of the franchise
granted by the city to p. j. Freeman
and ]. M. Lontz, the traction company
can place a car line on nearly every
street in the city, South E street IN
cluded. This franchise also permits
the hauling of freight. Why the trac-
tion company does not place hne
on North e street, where the iocai
shippers desire it to be placed, is not
known unless it is for the purpose
of venting it's spite against the city
Of Richmond Nv placing line where
II is not desired BY placing this line
nlong South f street the traction
company will be in position TO con-
tinue to operate through passenger
and freight service but the cost or
making this line will be considerable.
II Does Not Worry.
Mr.. Study states that this latest
r,oye on the part of the traction peo-
ME does not worry him in the sllFht-
est "There is a city ordinance when
nrovides that any traction or street
car company can be prohibited froH
nlec;nr a line on street where II is
deemed that it would interfere with
general traffic South street IS
quite narrow and if the traction COM
many p!aces a line there | VIII see 10
ft that no cars are ever operated on
the line. This can be prevented py
enforcement of the ordinance men
toned" said Mr.. Study.
Local iubbers are becoming quite
,mnatient over the delay in establish
ing traction freight service through
the city. This impatience has been
enhanced by a recent action of the e.,
G. e. L. which discontinued its daily
loca; freight service and which now
only operates two local freights per
week out of the city. With this Sc
we're handicap to local shipping facilit-
les it can be seen why the jobbers of
this CITY are extremely anxious for the
city and traction company TO come
to some kind of an understanding.

PALLADIUM ANXIOUS TO KEEP
TRACK OF THE DOLLARS AND

has been secured as to its whereabouts,

The sudden transition of dollar No. =
from the business districts down town
to the residence portion of the city in
the east end. shows the travelling pow
er of dollar and the many business
transactions that are possible to a
dollar spent at home.
A Suggestion.
The Palladium is very anxious to
keep track of these dollars and any in
formation that can be afforded to this
office will be much appreciated by the
management. for the success of the
project depends on knowing and pub
fishing the various transactions they
pass through. Don't thwart the ex-
pertinent by keeping the dollar in your
possession, for it must be kept in cir
culation if the desired results are re-
allied.
As a record is to be retained at this
office of the dollars and their move
ments since they were first launched,
will you please bring either one of the
dollars to this office when it comes
into your possession. The Palladium
desires to call in both dollars before
the end of the week, so whoever
brings in the dollars VIII be reimburs-
ed with others.
