WALSH'S VICTIMS
ARE CONFESS|NC
Persons Leaning Money to
Railroad Promoter Max
ing the Fact Known.
THEY RECEIVED NO BONDS
ALTHOUGH THAT Is WHAT THE
MONEY WAS ADVANCED FOR
FRIENDS AMONG THOSE WHO
SUFFERED MOST.
Special Correspondence.

Indianapolis, Aug. 22.-The receiv-
ership action in the case of John r.
Walsh's railroad properties in Indiana
has unearthed a lot of victims of the
one-time millionaire promoter. From
all over the state have come announce
ments that this man or that man loan
ed money to Walsh during his troub-
les of two years ago, the agreement
being that bonds were to be issued to
them in return. These bonds were
never received and the victims are
getting together to take legal action
thta will protect their interests. 1t
seems that Walsh rushed to his
friends when his financial difficulties
engulfed him, and. as usual, he was
able to make them believe that he
would pull through all right And it
looked for time as though he would.
Their confidence in him kept them
from pressing for the promised col
lateral. and matters ran along until
now they find they are holding the
bag. The filing of suit by those
creditors is expected soon.

MONON IN FIGHT
ON Commission
Believed This Roads Refusal
To Place Danger Signs
Is Forerunner.
ROADS DECIDE TO BALK.
MAY MEAN ATTEMPT TO CARRY
MATTERS INTO COURT AND
COUNTERFEIT ALL POWER OF
STATE COMMISSION.
ROADS DECIDE TO BALK.
Special Corresponds nee.

Indianapolis, Aug. 22-The action
Of the Monon railroad in fatty refus.
ing to place danger signs at crossings
on order of the state railroad COM
mission is believed to be the begin
ming of a fight by railroads against
the commissions orders when such
orders are not backed up by law.
There is no law compelling the rail-
roads to place danger signals at
crossings in this state, but the com
mission has always looked upon such
precaution as necessity and has
tried to force the railroads to act. In
some instances the order has been
obeyed, but when it became apparent
that the commission intended to com
pei the placing of danger signals gen
orally throughout the state, the rail-
roads decided to balk. The Monon is
emphatic in it's refusal to obey the
commissions order, and as 1t is backed
by the other railroads it is expected
that there will be a sharp fight. Just
how far the commission may go is not
plain, as this particular order has no
law behind it, but certain it is that
the legislature will be asked to pass
a law giving to the commission such
powers as are necessary in cases of
the kind.

NOVEL FLOWER URN
Woman Well Known Locally
Has Invented Odd But
Useful Device.
WAS PROMPTED BY LOVE.

The following dispatch from Law
renceburg, Ind, refers to woman
we'll known in this city, where she
has visited a number of times.
Miss Carrie D. Jackson, 1861 Chapel
street, Cincinnati, who was born and
reared in Dearborn county, Ind,
Prompted by her love for her late de-
parted brother, George w. Jackson and
other members of her family now
resting in the family lot in Greendale
cemetery, at Lawrenceburg, desired to
erect something new and beautiful to
their memory. A happy idea came to
her. She would have large vase con-
structed, containing pots of flowers
and set it in the center of flower
bed within the vase there should be
a tank of water, which by it's own au-
tomato force each day would water
the flowers in the bed planted around
the foot of the vase.
Accordingly she went to work, en-
ployed a mechanic, superintendent the
weeks her ideals were realized. The
original vase may be seen In Green
dale cemetery. The tank has capac-
ity of about one half barrel of water
and must be filled every two weeks.
During the heat of the day the water
slowly drips from the large tank into
smaller one. BY evening the small
tank is filled, and by it's weight it
closes the valves of the large tank and
opens the valves below, thus allowing
the water to flow from 1t and refresh
the flowers during the cool hours Of
night. By morning the small tank is
empty and the weights lift it into po-
sition again, the lower valves close,
the upper ones open and the tank fills
as on the previous day.
When Miss Jackson completes the
ornamental design of her vase and
perfects the mechanism as she has
planned, it will be thing of beauty.

Mrs. Grantees Habits of Work.

1t had been Mrs. Crsigie's habit for
many years to begin her work at 8
o'clock In the morning, no matter how
late she had been up the night before.
OFF and on she wrote till IL 30, never
being able to do more than half an
hours work at a time, a disability
which makes the amount she produced
the more amazing. After luncheon
even after a luncheon at the Carlton
she wrote again until it was time to
pay calls and to talk at tea tables as
idly as If she had been idle all day, a
feat of unbending which few women
and fewer men can perform. But after
dinner she was always tired. AT
night" she confessed, Il never by any
chance do anything. l cannot even
write a post card then"

COMES TOEASTHAVEN
Insane Man to Be Brought
Here-Case Is One
For Pity.
HAS ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

An effort IS being made to secure
radmittance to the Indiana Eastern In
sane Hospital for William Curme, an
old resident of Connersville, who was
lrecently declared insane by a COM
mission. 1t is quite pitiable case.
He was one of the witnesses in the
prosecution of Mr.. Hamilton, his
lniece's husband, about a year ago. He
DIS under the impression that since the
burning of his barn the Hamiltons are
trying to rob him of his property. He
claims it is Hamilton who set his fine
barn afire several months ago. He has
made several efforts to kill himself,
lone by throwing himself in front of a
fast moving traction car. He was
saved by policeman Another time
he left very mysteriously for Rush
where he tried to hang himself.

Moving Picture Machine Gov
cred With Insects.

Rushville, Ind, Aug. 22.-For sever
al years crickets have paid Rushville
an annual visit, playing a one-night
engagement in large numbers and
with a full chorus, but never before,
in the memory of the oldest inhabit-
ant" was there such number of the
chirping, hopping black insects as re-
ported last night.
The sidewalks were literally cover
ed, and many of the stores were oblig-
ed to close an hour earlier on account
of the pest. One of the moving pic
ture shows had to turn a crowd out
of the building, being unable to ex-
hibit because the crickets climbed all
over the motion-picture machine, be-
ing attracted by the strong light. The
effect of the film was completely de-
stroyed.

THREW HIM OVER.
lEFT HIM AT CHURCH.

Marcus Roberts, porter at the West
lcott barber shop, is probably about the
maddest man in the city of Richmond.
HE has lost his lady love and good
!share of his savings. 1t is rare in
sdeed that Dan Cupid perpetrates as
smean a trick as the one Roberts was
1.-THE victim of.
Pretty Nina Emerson, the belle Of
the local colored colony, was engaged
ITO Roberts, SO he says, and the we'd
ding was to have been held a few days
sago. Nina had been visiting friends
in Kentucky. In anticipation of the
happy event Roberts had given her a
ring, several dresses and other gifts.
He had also engaged living rooms, pay
ing months rent in advance, and at
a boarding house he had paid the cost
.of months board for himself and in
tended bride.
The day before the wedding Nina
returned to the city and all the pa
irons of the barber shop wondered
why Mark" was in such a good hui
,mor. I'm going to be married to-
morrow" he informed them, and ev-
erybody wished him good luck.
However, a few hours after the ar
rival of the bride-to-be she came to her
lover and asked him for some money.
She said she had just received tele-
gram from Richmond, KY, announc-
ing the death of her sister and it
would be necessary for her to leave at
once. "Then we will get married to-
day" said Marcus. Nina demurred.
wait until l come home" she told
him, and Marcus accepted her ruling
and provided her with enough money
to make the trip to Kentucky and re-
turn.
Nina left and two days later there
came a telegram, C. o. D., informing
Marcus that his bride-to-be had been
the bride of Floyd Davis for over a
week. In fact she had been bride
four days when she made the touch
off her discarded lover to make the
trip to Kentucky. Roberts flew into
great wrath at this news and on
making an investigation he learned
that Nina had married Davis in Gin
cinnati. Roberts went at once to
Cincinnati to tell Nina what he
thought Of her and incidentally, to get
his presents back" However, his
mission was fruitless. Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis were not to be found. Roberts
says the end has not come.

MANY VIOLENT DEATHS.
TEN MURDERS-SUMME DISEAS-

is CUSTOMARY AT THIS SEAS
ON OF YEAR.

The state board of health bulletin
for July says:
Diarrhoea was reported as the most
prevalent disease followed by cholera
morbus, dysentery, and cholera infan-
tum. 1t was predicted in the bulletin
of the preceding month that diarrho-
cal diseases would lead the list in
July. AS soon as the people learn to
take proper sanitary care of all foods
including water, they will be much
freer from diarrhoeal diseases. The
other of disease prevalence in July
was as follows: Diarrhoea, cholera
morbus, dysentery, cholera infantum,
tonsilitis, rheumatism, typhoid fever
(enteric), bronchitis, Intermittent and

70 were married in the same age per-
iod and left 40 orphans under II
years of age. This awful disease,
therefore, put 96 young fathers and
mothers in the grave and made 1872
orphans. The monster, consumption,
can be controlled when the health au-
thorities are permitted to fight it.
Pneumonia caused so deaths, 35

Comic Effects Frequent In the Days
When Bad Copy Was tho Rule.
Typographical errors that produced
weird or comical effects are described
by the st. Louis Republic in an article
recalling the days when all Of that
newspapers type was set by hand, be-
fore the Introduction of typesetting

being typewriter, was turned over to
the printer in an infinite variety of
good, bad and Indifferent chirography.

were allowed to contribute to the gay
ETY. of the subscribers, as the majority
were squeIched in the "house of cor

tiously termed. From a collection
made by a proofreader the following
instances Of ridiculous misleading of
