DR.. G b. Grove, president Of
the Providence Oil & Gas Co. in
a letter to Mr.. T. j. Locke, Jr.
president Of the Columbus Busi-
ness League, says that it is his
plans to come to Columbus next
week to interview our people in
regard to bringing natural gas to
the city. DR.. Grove has also
written to Mr.. w. p. Caine, one
of our prominent real estate men
and says:
1T is my plan at present to
come to Columbus next week.
and hope while there that we
will be able to reach some agree
ment with the citizens of Colum-
bus that will mean the construc-
ton Of a pipe line for natural
gas.
If our citizens will only pull
together and perfect arrange
ments to bring gas to Columbus,
our town will double in popula-
ton within a few years. But
unless they do work together
there is little hope of anything
being done.
Gas would not only help the
business we have, but would in
duce manufacturers to come
here.

PERMENTER FOUND
GULLY OF MURDER
OF YOUNG LADY LAST JULY
JURY IS SAID TO HAVE REACHED UA-
CONDITIONAL VERDICT AFTER FIFTEEN
MINUTES DELIBERATION

Louisville, Oct. 1.-THE Swim
ton Permenter trial for the muir
der of Miss jamie Sharp in July
and which has been on here for
a week came to close this even
ing when the jury returned an
unconditional verdict of guilty as
charged.
District Attorney Lamb con-
cluded one of the strongest
speeches ever listened to in this
county at 1:30 p. m. when the
jury retired to make it's verdict.
1t is reported they agreed up
on a verdict fifteen minutes after
retiring, but did not report for
four hours.
Judge Mclean handled the
situation very nicely.
The court room was cleared as
though the jury were tied up for
the night. but the judge return
ed to the room unseen and with
the attorneys and Permenter's
people in the room let the jury
make its report, there being less
than one dozen people present at
the time.
The prisoner was then return
ed to jail and the news of the
verdict spread rapidly over the
town.
No demonstration was made
by either side and everything is
quiet.
The prisoner received the YER
dict of the jury without a culver,
and remained as stolid and indif-
ferent as he has during the en-
tire trial. Court will be in ses-
sion in the morning when sem
tence will be passed.
The attorneys for the defend
ant will appeal the case. Me-

WILL COMMEMORATE
DAY OF ATONEMENT
WILL HOLD SERVICES TODAY
THE BUSINESS HOUSES OF THE JEW
iSH CITIZENS WILL ALL Be
CLOSED TODAY.

In commemoration of the Day
of Atonement. the business
houses of the Jewish citizens of
Columbus will be closed through
out today. Impressive ceremo-
nies will be held this morning at
10 o'clock at Temple B'Nai Is
rael. -
THE Day of Atonement, 9TH
erwise known as Yom Kippur, IS
the holIest day of the Jewish
calender. The Hebrew date is
the 10th of Tishri. The festival
is ordained in Liviticus xvi 1884
and xiii 26-32 In both passag-
es it is styled "A Sabcath of
Solemn Rest. "
THE purpose of the Day of
Atonement is clearly indicated
by its name. 1t is intended to
complete and crown the work of
the penitential season. begun on
the first of Tishri (New Year,,
by finally reconciling the soul
with the Almighty. Implicitly
trusting in the Divine forgive
ness, the Israelite believes that
his contrition, if it be really sin
cere, will atone for him, will
make him at one" once more
with his Heavenly Father. The
day, then. is devoted to su-
preme effort of penitence, to
mighty endeavor after commun-
ion with the Almighty. It is
spent in prayer and meditation.
1T is kept, too, as a fast, in
obedience to the command given

fict his soul' must he under

Bible, as Synonymous with fast

break down obstinacy, cast men
down before God in humility
and contrition. But fasting does
even more than that. Taking
the worshiper away from such
carnal occupations as eating and
drinking, it helps to fix his
thoughts upon the needs of the
soul. 1t makes the day one of
physical abstinence and self de-
nial, but also of correspondingly

Forest Fires Increase.

Winnepeg, Man, Oct. 10. =
Latest reports of the forest fires
in the Rainy river region of
Minnesota tonight increase the
horrors of the situation, if not
the number of lives lost. Esti-
mates of the number of persons
killed range from seventy-five to
400 tonight. Several conserva-
tive men of business and author
ity place the deaths at more than
100. But the greater concern
for the present is the rescue of
the helpless and the relief of
thousands of homeless men wo-
men and children.
Stories of wild animals fleeing
for safety side by side with hu-
man beings, their natural hostil-
ity and fear quenched by the
horror of their situation, came in
today, showing the desperate
ness of the situation. Tales also
came of mothers burned to death
with their babies on the breast,
and strong men calcined while
endeavoring to shield their chill
dren.
Its hell down there!' said
Engineer Smith. of the Duluth
express today, when a reporter
swung into the cab after the
train passed the fire zone.
His train took many refugees
from the scene of the confagra-
ton to Winnepeg. If the fire
keeps on the way it is doing now
there will be mighty little left of
the population of that part of
Minnesota. he added.
The flames have uuieted down
a little, but it only needs a puff
of wind to cause it to renew its
fury. There is one good thing,
however. it cannot come near
the railway lines again, for all
the timber in that section is
burned away. For miles around
Baudette and Spooner. where
there were large tracts of brush,
it is now as level as the prairie. =

propriate' $4,000 For Purpose.
AS the result of revelations made
to upwards OF 40 representative clti-
zens by Juvenile Court Judge Henry
s. Hubert In the home of II. c.
Hodges. No. GAL Jefferson-ave., Thurs
day night. a request will be made on
the Wayne county board of supervis-
ors to provide $4,000 for the purpose
OF erecting detention home for the
care of Juvenile disorderlies in Wayne
county.
The Judge told the gathering that
the depravity Of most OF the girls and
boys who come before him, was shock
ing. He also said that there was a
period in the life OF every wayward
boy and girl when he or she desired
to make a change for the better.
Thus 1t was imperative. the Judge
said, that those who deal with the
young offenders. should have close
supervision over them. II would be
much better, he pointed out. to have
them under a sympathetic and watch
full eye In Detroit, than In the indus
trial schools In Lansing and Adrian.
Judge Hubert also pleaded for more
probation officers. He said that while
Cleveland had Is men and Toledo 10
to look after juvenile Offenders, De-
troit had but three. The Detroit men.
moreover, were paid by public sub
scription. The Judge thought that the
supervisors ought to provide more
men and pay their salaries as well.
This view was supported by the
courts audience. and they resolved
to do all in their power to aid the
Judge In his efforts TO secure the de-
tention home and the additional help
required.
