Two prisoners in the Reno jail
sawed their way out last night and
succeeded III making their getaway.
They are still at large. Last night
burglars entered the jewelry sore OF
Connoly, Mcintosh and SenSeny and
got away with a large amount OF fine
Silverware ana other valuable articles
The robbery was not discovered until
some time after rs committal and
the officers were unable to obtain a
clew of any description. 1t is believ-
ed that the men who escaped from
the Jail there did the work as soon
as they were free in order to get the
required amount of money to get out
of Reno and to a distant place.

OPINION as TO How LONG TIE

Unexpected wheat scares in the
boards of trade in larger cities, due to
the great export trade in wheat. is re-
sponsible for S1OO wheat in Richmond.
Local millers are offering from ninety
five cents to one dollar for grain haul
ed to the Richmond markets at the
present time. Only the inferiar grades
of wheat are selling for the minor price
and as the wheat crop surrounding the
city was an unusually good one from
the stand of quality, large number
now selling in Richmond is securing
top notch prices.
Farmers holding wheat are not a
all discouraged about existing condi
tions. and feel confident that wheat
will go still higher. Local grain deal
ers, however, assert that the higf
price prevailing is the direct result o.
much speculation in the grain pits ant

According to reports reaching loca
dealers, there is an unusually large for
eign demand, greater than was surmis
ed earlier in the season. Millions O.

It Will Be Four Cents in Ad-
vance of What 1t Was
For the Year 1907.
INCREASE QUITE GENERAL.
THIS is SHOWN BY THE TABULA-
TION THAT is JUST BEING CON-
PLETED BY COUNTY AUDITOR
HANES-COUNTY RATE SAME.

The total tax rate for the city Of
Richmond for 1908 will be $3.50 on
each 500 valuation. This rate will be
an increased burden Of four cents to
the tax payers Of this city over the rate
for 1907. which is 1886. County Au-
ditor Hanes is just completing his tab
ulation of tax rates for the various
townships and corporations of Wayne
county. In the majority of cases an
increased rate is shown. The rate es-
tablished by the county for next year
remains the same as this year.
At council meeting Monday night it
was decided to establish the same rate
as in existence this year, which is
S1.1O. The increase in the total tax
rate for this city for 1903 was made by
the action of the state. which has in
creased the state school tax rate two
cents over the state school tax rate
established for 1907, and the Richmond
school board which has increased the
school fund rate for 1908 four cents.
The Wayne township tax rate for
1908 shows a reduction of two cents
over the tax rate OF 1907.
Trustee Potter, of Wayne township
by his action in reducing the library
and poor funds tax rates one cent each
made it possible to establish a general
tax rate of $3.50 for 1908 in this city
Had he deemed it advisable to increase
the township tax rate for 1908 the tax
rate in this city would have been pro
portionately increased.

strenuous effort to push the early ac-
uuisition of the Hawkins Springs adj
dition.
The question as to what means
shall be employed in securing the
funds for the permanent chautauqua
home has elected much discussion
with the result that many are inclin.
ed to think that unless the proposition
is promoted by private capital the
whole will fall through.
Secretary Shaw, 1t is understood
does not hold to this belief and thinks
the people will readily agree to pur-
chase lots in the new addition. and
by this means enough working capital
cen be secured. He estimates that the
entire first cost of the permanent
home will not be more than $4,000
but others say that at least $4,000
should be expended, and as there are
no hopes expressed that this amount
can be raised by popular subscription,
private capital should be solicited it is
claimed. Secretary Shaw claims that
the addition should be left with its
natural beauty and improved on the
receipts of each years sessions.

Supt. J. NJ. Study Has Created
1t BY His Protest Over
Enumeration.

ER ORDER 4 NEW EEuMERA-
TON Or APPEAR AND SHOW
CAUSE FOE NOT DOING SO.

supt. } X. Study Of t'ae Fort Epayrte
schools, formerly Of the Richmond
schools. has stirred up quite 4 muddle
by his charge that the enumeration at
Terre Haute was not properly taken. A
dispatch from Terre Haute says:
Trouble between the city schoo!
board and State superintendent OF
public instruction f. A. Cotton hae
been brought to head by a manda.
mus proceeding filed in the Circuit
court Wednesday demanding that Su-
perintendent Cotton order the city
school enumeration to be retaken or
show sufficient cause why it should not
be taken. Unless Superintendent Cot
ton orders the recount he must appear
in court here Oct. 10.
The enumeration fight has been long
drawn out. In April the regular emu
meration was taken, and it showed
that Terre Haute had pushed Fort
Wayne out of third place and was
therefore entitled to furnish a member
of the state board of education. Ft
Wayne kicked on tins, and it is said
Superintendent Cotton also was dissat
isfied. since he preferred to select a
FIT. Wayne man.
Finally, on his own authority Super
| intendent Cotton had recount taker
! which showed 5000 less than the regu
lar count and materially cut down the
school allowance for Terre Haute. The
state superintendent took his figures
as correct and reported accordingly
The city school board then had a re
count made of the Fifth ward ant
found 400 more school children thar
Cotton's enumeration showed and this
convinced the board there were inaccu
racies in his entire enumeration. L
is claimed superintendent Cotton hat
no authority to take an enumeration

Favor Construction of a Spec
iaI Building on the Grounds
Of the Eastern Indiana Hos
pitaI for the Insane.
MEMBERS APPEAR BEFORE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
There Is No Fit Place at This
Time for Care of the Insane
And 1t Will Be Necessary to
Take Some Action.

Members of the county board CT
charities appeared Wednesday after
noon before the board of county COM
missioners to make a suggestion in re-
gard to the imperative need Of provid-
ing a county institution for the care of
the insane, Unfortunately Commis-
sioners Wiley and Dynes were not
present, having gone out to inspect 4
road, but Commissioner Clark heard
what the charity board had to say and
stated that he would present the mat
ter to his associates.
In brief, the members of the county
board of charities suggested that the
county build on the grounds of the
Eastern Insane hospital at Easthaven,
an institution where the insane of this
county could be properly cared for
pending their admission to the insane
hospital, which is greatly overcrowded
Places Are Not Fit.
Members of the charity board called
the attention of Mr.. Clark to the fact
that the various county institutions,
the county Jail, the county infirmary
and the Home for the Friendless and
women's Jail, are not fit places to have
insanepeople confined in, as they can
not be properly cared for but, not
withstanding this fact, these institu-
tions were filled with insane people
who were waiting admission to East
haven hospital.
There is no doubt but that this coun-
ty will have to take some action in the
immediate future along the lines sug-
gested by the county board of chari-
ties. However the plan suggested by
the charity board does not meet with
the entire approval of the county Off
cials. In the first place, it is stated,
the county would have no authority to
erect county institution on land
owned by the state unless the state
decided to the county the desired land
1t is also argued that if an institution
is to be built for the insane of this
county this institution should be an an
mex to the county Jail. Just what &C
tion the commissioners will take in the
matter is not known, as none Of the
commissioners have expressed them
selves on the subject. If it is decid
ed by the commissioners that such ar
institution is necessary, 1t would be
necessary for a special meeting of the
county council to appropriate money
to meet the expense.

of the township where the vacancy
occurs to appoint a man TO fill the

Now Comes Awakening.
Since The amended road law was

I tees in thus county have appointed
men to FIJI vacancies existing among
road supervisorships IN Wayne towa-
ship Trustee Potter has appointed two
additional supervisors. The trustees
have been laboring under the impress
sion that 1907 road law had gone into
effect, consequently several of the
new supervisors took their Office with
the understanding that they were to
perform the duties required of them
for sixty days at 81 per day. 1t is
understood that in nearly every in
stance these men have completed or
about completed their terms of ser
vice. Now comes the awakening.
At the meeting of the trustees Wed

the 1907 road law would not go into
effect until December l and conse
