The rock seemed to be as hot as
the Kansas Day club speeches against
Stubs. 1t was melting the ice and
making steam. The delivery boy
thought then it might be the comet.
After a moment or two he cautiously
approached the strange object and with
a sudden movement started to pick 1t
up. 1t was dropped at once, the stone
was too hot to handle.
When asked what he was going to

On account of the death of George T.
Morns the father of Fred Morns, presi-
dent of the Civic club, the meeting of
the club which was to have been held
tomorrow evening has been postponed
until Friday evening, February II. This
decision was reached after conference
between Mr.. Morns and c. NJ. Morrow,
secretary of the club, and members of
the organization. At first Mr. Morns
desired the club to get together to re-
organize without his presence, but the
sentiment was in favor of poStponement
and such action was taken. Mr.. Morns
of course would have been absent at
the meeting set for Feb. but was
anxious for the club to meet while the
interest was enough to bring out a
large crowd, but the indications are
that enough will be interested to in
sure a large attendance a week from
Friday evening.

Cambridge City. Ind. April 15.-Lit-
tie surprise was evinced by Frank ALI
son at the confession of Charles Alice
Revalee, his former farm hand, of the
murder of Mrs. Allison, and the firing
Of their home on Wednesday. April 8.
1t was at Mr.. Allison's suggestion, it is
alleged. that suspicion was directed to-
ward Revalee. He notified Ed Holder
of this place, to tell 1. A. Gormon. SUI
perintendent of police of Richmond. to
question Revalee as to his whereabouts
on the day Of the murder
Mr.. Allison stated today that he be-
came suspicious of Revalee when he
learned the young man did not attend
the funeral OF his wife, week ago to-
day. nor offer any condolences. Mr..
Allison said that this appeared very
strange to him, inasmuch as his wife
and other members of the family. had
made an effort to treat the young
man as member of their family, while
he lived with them.
Given Mother.o Care.
Mrs. Allison had always attended to
the mending OF young Revalee's
clothes and carefully prepared his
washing and ironing. encouraged him
to attend Sunday school and watched
over him as though she was his moth
er. For these reasons, Mr.. Allison an
ticipated that Revalee would attend the
funeral or at least pay him visit and
offer condolences.
Revalee was employed on the ALI
son farm for year and a'half. but was
discharged last January. Mr.. Allispn
said that Revalee was always honest
and at no time while living with them,
did he give them any trouble, except
that he became very reckless and care
less in the execution OF his duties to-
ward the last. Mr.. Allison said that
they never missed any valuables while
Revalee was employed by them.
Residents of Cambridge City and
Milton will not make any attempt to
organize a mob. The spirit OF the
hot heads was curbed yesterday and
those who even suggested violence
were quickly calmed. Everyone Is sat
isfied that justice will be done.
Several in this neighborh0od are an
ticipating being summoned before the
grand jury, which convenes Monday
morning at 10 o'clock. Mr.. Allison
said that he would appear before the
jury.

New Concerns Locating Here,
and the Expansion Of Some
Of Older Ones, viii Create a
Big Demand.
NEW FACTORY BONUS
BEING RAISED FAST
No Doubt That Underwear
Plant Will Be Located Here
National Tool Building
Completed Soon.

BY this time next year. it is assur-
ed, the factories of this city will, by
the addition of new concerns and the
enlarging OF the older corporations,
be in a position to offer employment
to nearly five hundred additional
workers, both men and women. As
nearly every factory worker in the
city is now employed it will be neces-
sary for the concerns which are now
expanding. and the new plants, to Inn
port a big number OF the additional
workers.
It is thought that the $1,000 bonus
for the Flesh underwear factory,
which will be located at North Tenth
and E streets. will have been raised
by this evening or tomorrow noon.
So confident are the soliciting commit
tees of the Young Mems Business
club and the Commercial club that the
meeting Of the members of these two
committees, which was to have been
held this evening to decide on further
steps in the campaign to raise the
required amount, has been postponed
until tomorrow night. 1t is hoped
that at that time it will be possible
to announce that the $4,000 has been
secured.
A Modern Factory.
This concern will erect modern
factory building and will employ, at
the start about one hundred workers.
mostly women. Giving to the splendid
business record OF Mr.. Flesh, Rich
mond business men know that in in
Producing him into the local industrial
field they have secured valuable re-
cruit to their ranks.
Another new industry which the
city In general and the south side in
particular, is taking q keen interest
In Is the National Automatic Tool
Works, whose building, delayed in
construction, by the vigDrs Of the past
winter. Is now nearing completion and
will be ready for occupancy within
the next few weeks. This concern
IL managed by hustling and reliable
men. who have made business sue
cesses at Dayton. O.
It will employ at the start from
seventy to one hundred women and
men. Its products are in demand all
over the country.
Yesterday 1t was announced that
the Hoosier Drill branch OF the Amer
ican Seeding Machine company would
erect four new buildings, the total
cost Of these improvements will be-,
1t is estimated $4,000. On the COM
pletion Of these buildings over one
hundred men will be added to the
working staff.
Recently the Starr Piano company
contracted for the construction of an
administration building and an addi-
tional factory building, where player
pianos will be made. These improve
ments mean employment for more
men.
