lor's to require the assignment of
tax certificates to be filed with the
county treasurer, to protect the
treasurer against taxes paid by the
holder of the certificate subsequent
to the certificate. A holder of a Ger
tiicate is entitled to pay the sub
sequent taxes and get them back
with interest in case of redemption,
but assignees of certificates do not
always inform the treasurer that
they are paying subsequent taxes,
and the owner of the property comes
in and redeems from the certificate
with out providing for the subse-
quent payments, and the treasurer
is held responsible to the certificate
holder for them. This act will give
the treasurer notice and save much
trouble and occasional loss. The de-
v%elopment of the county, digging of
many drainage bitches which must
be bridged, and the increase in the
cost of bridge material has made the
two mill county bridge levy which
has been the limit for a very long
period quite insufficient in the older
counties along the lower Sioux and
Missouri; therefore Ranum's bill to
permit a three mill levy which pass

Issenhuth likes music and he
wants every n else to appreciate
it. He is enthusiastically for the
the teaching of music in all Of our
schools and his bill to that effect
went through. Under it at least two
hours per week must be devoted to
music by all students in the normal
schools. a qualified instructor in
music must be employed in all grad
ed schools, and in the country
schools conducted by a single teacher
the elements of music notation by
vocal and blackboard drill, with
simple songs shall be taught, while
the county superintendent is re-
required to have the elements of
vocal music taught in the county in
stitutes for at least twenty minutes
each day.
For the first time this session the
speaker left the chair on Saturday
and called Issenhuth to preside. 1t
was limited in the Hobbies that the
, orator from SPHINX was loaded to hilt
the equal suffrage resolution which
it was expected would come up at
that session and that he was called
to the chair at the psychological mo-
ment in a spirit of fun, to test his
gallantry. The resolution, however,
was not reached.
Englesby has introduced the immi-

is provided, but that is left to the
general appropriation bill. The op.
position to doing anything in the
way of an immigration department
is so pronounced that it "a thought
best not to attempt a special appro-
priation for an emergency bill, but
to simply create the Office by a maj.

LURE OF THE GAME
Not Even Blasts of Winter Can
Kill the Enthusiasm
Of the Fans.
CHEER MOVING PICTURES

An amusing incident occurred in a
we'll known local theater yesterday aft
ernoon, where the world champion
ship baseball series between Detroit
and Pittsburg, are being shown. Two
local fans. who have attended almost
every performance, occupied as usual.
seats in the front row. When a De-
troit tiger stepped up to bat. smashed
one on the nose and dashed madly
around the bases and hit the dust at
third for beautiful slide. the enthu-
Siasm of the two bugs knew no
bounds So real and lifelike did it APP
pear to them that they forgot it was
only a picture and wildly cheered the
brilliant play. The picture showed
the players disputing the umpire's de-
cision that the player was safe. and
soon the two fans on the front row
engaged in the dispute also. One de-
clared that he was safe while the other
said he was out a mile and that he
ran bases like a sewing machine. The
two fans almost came to blows over
the hot dispute following the umpire's
decision and even when they left the
theater. were still arguing the point.

Weird Story fFIght With Death
Heart Interest Story Told in Diary Found in the Pocket
Of One of the Dead Cherry Miners.

Cherry. ILL.,, Nov PA diary was
found in the clothing taken from one of
the 80 bodies found in a pocket of the
mine. The diary was begun Novem-
Der ID, and was written by Samuel D.
Howard, 81 years old. 1t describes
the slow death of the men by the en-
croachment of black damp, and refers
tenderly to Samuel's efforts to save his
brother, Alfred. 16 years old. who died
by his side. The diary follows:

CHURCH MEMBERS
RECALL OLD DAYS
Splendid Service Was Held
Last Evening at the
Christian Church.
CHURCH HISTORY is READ
eERS WERE SEATED ON THE
PLATFoRM-THEY WERE GIVEN
CHAUTAUQUA SALUTE.

The First Christian church closed it's
semi-centennial celebration last night.
with what in the estimation of the
members was the best service of all. It
was a Renaissance meeting. and such
was its interest that the company did
not dispense until almost eleven
O'Clock. Freeman F. Haisley was the
presiding officer.
Following a cornet solo by Robert c.
Wilson, the chorister, Mr.. S. E. Mills.
the chairman Of the official board, read
an historical sketch covering the half.
century of the church's life. No brief
mention can do justice to this excellent
paper. It's every paragraph told of his
diligent search into the annals of the
church to discover the salient facts
that had been made a matter Of record
as the years advanced. 1t may safely
be said that no members of the church
had the least conception of this record
in its entirety until this paper was be-
fore them. Alternate vicissitude and
victory has marked the progress of this
church. 1t has had a very checkered
career. and its present prosperity has
been secured at a fearful toll of trial
and disappointment. The very con-
trast Of the present with that stormy
past did more than any other one
thing to make this a celebration"
Interesting Feature.
A. very interesting feature of the
meeting was the appearance on the
platform of all who had been members
of the congregation for twenty-five
years or more. In response to this
call the following persons took thei:
places: Mr. and Mrs Richard Freeman.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles E. Caster: Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph c. Weller: Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles M. Wilson: Mr.. and Mrs.
Freeman F. Haisley: DR.. J. A. Walls.
Mr.. Benjamin F.. Harris, Mrs. Eliza
beth Wright; Mrs. Mary E. Bonsall;
Mrs. Clara Thomas, Mrs. Emma
Ranks: Mrs. Anna B. Hoover; Mrs. Cy
rena Zimmerman; Mrs. L. S. Mann;
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-11-24

Mrs. w. S. Kaufman; Mrs. l.. A. Nixon;
Mrs. Charlotte Soil; Mrs. Mary J. Eel
ty, Mrs. r. l.. More. Mrs. Diantha
Peck, Franklin. Indiana, and the Rev.
J. J. Morgan, Johnstown, Pa.
The appearance of this company on
the platform was the signal for the
"Chautauqua salute MIR. Haisley then
formally. in a few we'll chosen words
presented the old pastor and his mem
bers to the new pastor and his men,
bers, response to this being made by
the present pastor. The Rev. L. c.
Howe, of New Castle, Indiana, came
with words of greeting and letters of a
congratulatory character were real
from the Rev. c. II. DeVoe. Peru, Ind.
and from the Rev. E. v. Spicer, Lado-
MIA, Texas.
Rev. Morgan's Address.
The main address of the evening was
made by the Rev. J. J. Morgan, he TAX
ing as his subject THE Old-Time Relig-
ion.'' This, however, was prefaced
with pleasantries bearing upon his rec
objection of the congregation at the
time that he served as pastor, and it
seemed not little remarkable that he
should have been here twenty-five
years ago, and that he should have on
the platform with him just twenty-five
people. In pleading for the "OldTime
Religion" he said that it is not men
who make religion, but religion that
makes men. 1t will make hero of
anybody, and saint of any sinner.
You can not tell church by it's archi-
lecture, but by the kind of men inside
of it. 1t is the spirit of the people.
and not their equipment that tells for
effective service.
So closed a delightful period of ret
respect for the company of people, so
deserving of their present prosperity.
The meeting lasted one day longer than
originally contemplated, and the pas
tor of the church, in closing the meet
ing. stated that this last meeting, in
stead of being the close OF the first
half-century, is properly the beginnin <
of the last half, and this portends a
successful period in the immediate flu
ture of the church.

to the sweep of winds-in open def
ance of death dealing storms. They
willingly did a prodigious amount of
work each Day, and then as bedfellows
they offered their fur as shelter and
bones as head rests to their two footed
companions. We had learned to appre-
ciate the advantage of their beating
breasts. The bond of animal fellow
ship had drawn tighter and tighter In
a long run o. successive adventures.
And now there was q stronger reason
than ever to appreciate power, for to-
gether we were seeking an escape
from a world which was never intend
ed for creatures with humping hearts.
Much very heavy ice was crossed
near the eighty eighth, but the endless
unbroken fields of the northward trails
were not again seen. The weather
changed considerably. The light cut
ting winds from the west increased in
force, and the spasmodic squalls came
at shorter intervals. The clear purple
and blue of the seas were gradually
changed to light gray. and Il rush OF
frosty needles came over the pack for
several hours each day.
Could Brook No Delay.
The induccment to seek shelter in
cemented walls of snow and wait for
better weather was very great. But
such delay forestaled certain starya-
ton. Under fair conditions there was
barely food enough to reach land,
while even short delays might easily
jeopardize cur return. We could not,
therefore, do otherwise than to force
ourselves against the wind and drift
with all possible speed, closing the eye
to unavoidable suffering.
With no alternative, we tried to per-
suade ourselves that conditions might
be worse.
The eighty-seventh was crossed. the
eighty-siXth was neared, but there
came Il time when both mind and body
wearied of the whole problem of forced
resolution.
The hard work Of igloo building was
now thing of the past-only one had
been built since leaving the pole. and
in it precious day was lost-while
the atmospheric fury changed the face
Of the endless eXpanse of deSolation.
The little silk tent now housed us suffi-
GENTLY from the icy airs. There We're
still 90 degrees of frost, but with hard
