MAY NOT REGAIN
MENTAL CAPACITY
Jennie Dillon i'm Serious cOndi-
ton as Result of Nervous
Prostitution.
AT TIMES is VIOLENT
WELL KNOWN YOUNG CLERK AT
kNOLLENBERG'S STORE CAUS-
ES GRAVE APPREHENSION BY
HER STRANGE ACTIONS.

As result of a severe attack OF
nervous prostration which she suffer
ed Monday Miss Jennie Dillon is ly-
ing at her home, AZ North Eighteenth
street, in serious condition, and her
relatives have almost given up hope
of her regaining her full mental pow
ers, although her physician states
that she is improving.
Miss Dillon has for the past several
months been employed at the Geo. H
Knollenberg store, and shortly after
she had drawn her weekly wages last
Monday morning, she made the excuse
to her fellow clerks and the cashier
at the store that she wanted to go to
the dentists to have some work done
She gained permission and left the
store, supposedly, on the mission OF
which she had spoken. Instead of
going to the dentist, however, she
boarded a westbound interurban car
at 1890 o'clock, and went to the home
of her aunt in Indianapolis. Shortly
after arriving there she telephoned
her mother in this city, stating that
she was going to work in the New
York store. The mother objected
strenuously to the idea, and after com
munication with the girls aunt, de-
cided to go to the capital city and try
and induce her daughter to return as
she surmised from the tone of her
sisters message, that Miss Dillon was
suffering with some mental trouble.
after she had received the tel
ephone message from her mother,
f, fr,rv 70 he,
home in this city. and the car which
was bearing her mother to lndianapo-
lis passed the one bearing Miss Dillon
to Richmond.
After reaching home, the unfortu- |
nate young woman gave a very inco-
nerent account of her actions and de- I
MED being in Indianapolis.
Early yesterday morning the girl |
placed her shawl upon her head and |
began wandering the streets. She |
visited several east end grocers be-
ore she was finally induced by her /
mother to return home. When the /
,wo got in near their home on North |
street, the girl became vi !
)lent and said she wanted to return
o work, and no amount of persuasion
could shake her from her determine
ion Sheer force was used to get I
he girl into the house, several neigh
,or men having TO be called before
his could be accomplished. The in
ident created a great deal of excite
nent among residents living in the
of the Dillon home.
Miss Dillon has a host of friends in
he city who are grieved at her I'M
imely illness, and sincerely hope that
t will be only short. She was rest
ne easier last night.

AMONG THE EDITORS.

The Vacant School, What It Means.
Much complaint is coming up from
some Of the rural districts throughout
the State that many OF their schools
are without teachers. The records OF
the State Superintendent office show
that there are about eighteen hundred
more teachers certificates Issued than
there are places for the teachers in
the State. The question at once
arises what this means and how are
we to remedy 1t. 1t means two things.
first, II means that wages are not suf-
iiclent for n teacher TO spend his or
her time In that district from the fact
they cannot make enough money 10
keep the wolf from the door and pay
the village preacher and be liberal
contributor TO every church festival
or other function the object of which
Is to make money for everybody but
the teacher. In the second place 1t
means that some nelghborhoods are
so mean to teachers and treat them
with such contempt that they do no;
want to go back and as this matter CT
treatment Is contagious every teach.
or in that county will know OF It. The
tine has come when teachers must
be treated with the respect that their
position demands. Fortunately In
Barbour county wages are very good.
not us good as We expect to have them,
and are still going up year by year
and there are few neighborhoods but
that give the teacher their support
In the school work. This question
comes back to the homes OF the peo.
pie every time YOU begin to run It
down for there Is where the standing.
the progrcssiveness or the ignorance
OF n nelshborhood shows up at Its
value. We are not In anyways alarm.
ed over the situation because Il is up
TO the people TO have 1t otherwise and
when they realize that the success of
their children depends upon their edu.
cation they will then make an effort
TO raise the wages and not only do
that but will make an effort to HELM
the teachers In their work instead Of
throwing stumbling blocks in the way.
Recently 1t was said by n prominent
citizen of this State in reference to
the schools that they did not amount
10 - anyway and why fool with
them. This man is either n fool or IS
IN escaped patient from the insane
asylum. Give better wages and your
hearty cooperation to the school WORK

The prosperity figures sent out by
President Murray OF the Baltimore an /

couraging and disheartening to the
Democratic party. It is an acknowl.
edged fact that the Democrats won't
have a ghost OF show in State or
Nation next year unless hard times
set in and the people get dissatisfied
with existing conditions. AS railroad
earnings are accredited as n business

Bryana nd the Average Man.

Philadelphia Ledger.
William ]. Bryan started his win.
ter campaign OF ,liscourses with an
address at Richmond on THE Aver.
age Man. In which he expressed ap.
proval OF the American average man
as against all others met In his re-
cent travels.
A speculative philosopher Is not to
be condemned to rigid consistency. Yet
1t may be fairly asked. Why has Mr..
Bryan never politically appealed to
the American average man? No. Bry-
an Indictment has ever been addressed
even to the average man of his own
party. Nowhere has the average Am
orican's wishes or welfare been in the
Bryan talk. He won n nomination by
the widest riot OF appeal to an en-
IRENE class which was then In high
fever. Nothing average or normal en-.
tered his view. All productive effort
by average men he has drenched with
the rotting acid OF his agitation. The
highest Bryan hope for 10 years has
meen the business devastation In
which the average man might be eX.
