palladium Specially
Indianapolis, April ia letter re-
ceived by the railroad commission is
to the effect that the citizens of New
Castle are to have an answer to their
pleas. which have been going up for
years, for new railway station facili-
ties at that place. Since "early in the
fifties," a combination hotel and sta
ton has been made to serve as sta
ton for both the Pennsylvania and
Lake Erie & Western lines. The rail-
road commission was called into the
case three years ago. The word re-
ceived Is that the Lake Erie & West
ern will build new station this sum-
mer. The Pennsylvania has assured
the commission that it was ready to
build as soon as an agreement could
be reached with the Lake Erie. A
dangerous grade crossing will be elm
mated by the new plans of the railway
companies.
The commission has received a new
freight rate card from the Big Four
Railroad company affecting the COM
plant filed by Schnull & Co., of this
city, asking for an equalization of rates
charged by that railroad. The hearing,
which had been set for tomorrow. as. a
consequence, been postponed until May
?. In the meantime the commission
and the complainant will examine the
new schedule to ascertain whether it is
satisfactory.
The G. R. & 1. Railroad company has
asked the commission to be relieved
from complying with the recent order
of the commission providing for the in.
stallation of block signal systems. 1t
is represented that only that part OF
the company's road in Indiana between
Ft. Wayne and the Michigan state line
earns enough a mile to come within
the order of the commission.

Palladium Specially

Dayton, Ohio. April 15.-Disappoint-
ed to the point of distraction an aged
woman applied at the Free Employ
ment Bureau Tuesday in quest of work.
The woman gave her name as Mrs
Anna Kidwell, and stated that she had
come to Dayton from her home in
Richmond, Ind, to locate her son. She
learned in the neighborhood where her
son once resided that he and his wife
had become separated, and that the son
Albert Kidwell, when last heard of,
was a patient in the Miami Valley
Hospital. Inquiry at the hospital re-
suited in no information leading to his
whereabouts.
The mother. having no other near
relatives, had intended to make her
home with the son, and expected to
find him still residing in Dayton. I'm
able to locate him, she went to the
last resort, that of securing a position
and a place to stay over night. Super
,intendent Downing and Clerk Richard
son of the Free Employment Bureau,
got busy and before evening had plac-
ed the woman in good family.
In the meantime the aged woman
grew restless, and leaving the employ
ment bureau, roamed the streets the
whole of the afternoon to seek her
son. She however returned late in
the evening and was sent to her posi-
ton.
The son was formerly employed al
the Barney & Smith Car Works. and
for a time did odd jobs about the city.
He was taken sick a short time ago
and removed to the hospital. Since
that time his location cannot be learn.

TO DIsPRovE OLD IDEA

Robert ]. Alley, state superintendent
of public instruction, maintains that
the spoilers in the common schools OF
today are better spoilers than their
fathers and mothers who are wont to
tell the children that the old-fashioned
spelling bees were wonders in their
disclosure of ability to construct words
and in an effort to assert the correct
ness of his stand is preparing to have
series OF spelling matches at the close
OF next school year. According to the
tentative plan outlined, the matches
will start in the township schools. The
best speller in every school will be So
lected. From these the best speller
In the township will be selected for a
county contest. From every county the
best spoilers win be selected for a dis
trict contest, and from the best spell
ers in every district the best speller in
the state will be determined, all tests
to be made by the old-fashioned
stand up and spell down. plan. It
is the hope of Mr.. Alley to take the
scheme to the National Education AS
ISOLATION next year as contest among
the states.
In recent spelling tests in the state,
pupils of the common schools success

and words before being spelled

hours duration. None Of the fathers

Among the variant spellings Of
names perhaps the most remarkable In
stance occurs in deed Of the year 1857
relating to the property of the Raleigh
family. 1t bears the signatures of
Raleigh, ST., and his two sons, Of
which one has special interest as be-
ing the earliest known signature OF
Sir Walter. BY the father the name
is written Raleigh by the elder son
"Rawleigh," and by Sir Walter is writ
ten "Rauleygh.' BY Queen Elizabeth
1t was written ''Rawley," as then pro-
nounced. 1t also appears in his life
time as .Rawlye.'

San Antonio, Texas. April Ia
With the passing of old Camp Verde q
rather interesting chapter OF the histo-
ry OF the Great Southwest has been re-
opened. The old camp was for many
years both an outpost of civilization
and the last port of call OF the traveller
who braved the dangers of the desert
that lay to the west After leaving
Camp Verde there was little to be ex-
pected, but lack of everything and a
plentitude of Indians Water espec-
tally was hard to get; there were no
wells. and journeys, therefore. had to
be timed and routed SO as to allow for
frequent touch with the few rivers to
be met on westward trip. Those
were the days when the Llanc Estaca-
do was thing Of real meaning and
when it extended clear through to the
Rio Grande
But route to the Pacific slope
through Texas. New Mexico and Arizo-
ma was necessity from many points of
view, not least of all from military
considerations, and for this reason the
United States government made every
effort to establish and maintain one.
But the task was SO great that it seem
ed entirely too much for the horse or
mule. Animals of burden, however,
were absolutely necessary to the trav-
eler in those parts and for this reason
the camel was decided upon.
There are few people who are &C.
quainted with this experiment. unique
as it is in American history. The i'm
portation of the animals and the build
ing of suitable caravansary were un-
dertaken simultaneously by. the govern
ment. Old Camp Verde was built at
a cost of $14.O0O-a sum amounting to
about $4,000 in present equivalents.
1t was constructed OF stone and con-
crete with walls two feet thick and
strong enough to defy the Indians

shortly afterwards was swallowed up

a memory.
The caravansary was hardly complet
ed when the camels arrived. An odd
| bunch they were. There were freight
ers from Asia Minor and dromedary
from Egypt and Arabia. Newspapers

pie of many q Texas town gaped in
| wonderment as the strange procession
passed them.
But with the cameis, the languor Of

| to Camp Verde and no. further. Cara
vans crossing the great American des.
ert were never seen and the cameis lit

could still be seen at Camp Verde an
