Board of Works Hopes to Be-
gin Next Year on Perma-
nent Improvement of Many
of City's Streets.
PROPOSED TAX RATE
is NOT CONSIDERED
BY Board Up to the Present
Time, but Small Increase Is
Expected-City Better Off
Financially Now.
The most pcftant improvement

The most bOftant improvements
to be included in the 1912 budget rec.
concentrations by the board Of public
works will be paving jobs in the city.
The following streets will ultimately
be paved, according to the plans of the
city, although not all of them next
year: North Second. from the c. & o.
station to Main; North Third, from D
to Main; South Eighth, from A to E;
North Eighth from A to E; North Sew
enth; West Main street, from the Main
street bridge to West Fifth street;
East Main street, from Twentieth to
Twenty-second street, and Main street,
from Third street to the Main street
bridge. These pavements will cost
many thousand dollars, and as many
as possible will be laid in 1912.
President Hammond of the board of
works declared this morning that there
are two or three years more. of good
hard work" to be done on the streets
in Richmond before they are in first
class condition.
There will probably be nothing done
at the electric light plant, nor the Gre
matory next year. The amount of the
appropriation for the parks has not
been estimated There will be an ap-
preparation to buy motor fire truck.
Neither Controller McMahan nor
President Hammond are willing to
state whether there will be an increase
or reduction in the tax rate, but the
general impression is that it will be
increased little.
McMahan said this morning the city
would get through the year without
borrowing any money. He says the
city is now in good financial condition.
This year more street improvements
are being made than ever before in
the history of the city.

Cedar Springs Inventor Isl
Charged with Assault and
Battery with Intent to Kill
Mrs. Haldeman.
COLORED MAN ALSO
PRINCIPAL IN CASE
Charge Placed Against Hal
deman After He Had Flied
Adultery Charge Against
Richard Bass
palladium Specially

New Paris, O.. July 25.-As culmi-
nation of the numerous domestic dis
turbances between DR.. A len Halde-
man and his wife, who live opposite
Cedar Springs, ne is now facing trial
at Eaton on a charge of assault and
battery with intent to kill Mrs. Halde-
man, filed by Haldeman's brother-in-
law, c. II. Leach. Haldeman went to
Eaton yesterday and filed a charge
against Richard Bass, colored, alleg-
ing Bass was living with a colored
woman in adultery at the Haldeman
home. Leach then filed charges
against Haldeman. The Haldeman
piece of land like a Rhine castle, is
now held by Mrs. Haldeman, she, ac-
cording to the neighbors, having exil-
ed her husband following a dispute
some few days ago. Haldeman lives in
a shack in the woods near his home.
Haldeman is an inventor and reputed
to be we'll to do.
1t is understood that Haldeman fled
charges against Bass after Mrs. Hal
deman had led a foray from her castle
and had attacked her spouse in the
shack where he has been living of late.
1t is reported that the Doctor, after
being felled grabbed a gun but was
prevented from shooting his wife by
the interference of a man who was
picking blackberries. At least that is
the story Leach tells. Haldeman has
entered plea of not guilty.
Several nights ago neighbors were
alarmed by shouts of fire" issuing
from the Haldeman home. The blaze
was a small one and soon extinguish-
ed. To ascertain whether any one had
fired" the house bloodhounds were
brought in on the case, but without
success. The deputy state fire mar
shall is investigating the case.

POLICE NOW SEARCH
Finally Convinced Miss Ora.
ham Is Kidnapped.
(National News Association

New York, July 25-Fearing now
that Miss Lillian Graham, one of the
two show girls indicted for shooting
w. e. D. Stokes, has been the victim
of a misadventure, or met with foul
play, the police and district attorneys
office today abandoned their cynical
attitude and began a vigorous hunt for
the young woman who vanished on
Saturday night.
The authorities were at first in
clined to look upon the disappearance
of the girl as press agent plant"
but the repeated and hysterical assur-
ances of Mrs. Stella Singleton, Miss
Graham's sister, that such is not the
case, and the continued absence of the
girl have compelled action. Two de-
tectives from Mr.. Whitman's office
and four from police headquarters
have taken up the case.
Mrs. Singleton is convinced her sis
ter has been kidnapped.

CHILDREN RESCUED
BY HEROIC NURSES
(National News Association)


Wichita. Kas., July 25.-Four hun
dred children were rescued by the he
roism of their nurses and physicians
when the main building of the state
school for feeble-minded children at
Winfield was burned early today. At
the first alarm of fire the children
were shot down the various spiral fire
escapes and later herded on the hills
south of the institution, most of them
in their night clothes. DR.. Clark, su-
perintendent of the school. is positive
all the children were rescued.
Owing to the fact that the school is
situated higher than the standpipe at
Winfield and no city pressure could be
had. great difficulty was experienced
in fighting the flames and the build
ing was practically destroyed.

USES FOR OLD LINEN.
other time.

How Wo-nout Sheets and TabIecIoths
Can Be Utilized.
Sheets of linen should never end
their days as dust cloths. nor should
the outside edges be turned toward the
center and sewed together when the
center is worn. as the crease of the
seam is most uncomfortable to sleep
upon. Besides, when the linen sheet
has reached this stage it has served
its day as Il sheet.
The ends will be found comparative
ly good and can be made into hand
some turnover and sham sets for the
spare bed. They may be hemstitched
and ones monogram or initial worked
in the center.
Doilles, tray covers. centerpieces and
sideboard and dresser scarfs may be
materialized out of old linen sheets. A
handsome bedspread, too, could be
made by cutting the good parts into
small squares, featherstitching sim
pie design on each square and joining
with linen lace insertion. The edges
may be finished with lace edging to
match.
Old table linen, too, is often put to
use as dust cloth when it deserves
something better. Soft face towels,
tea towels for silver and glass and
cloths to protect the freshly baked loaf
of cake or bread from dust or possible
transgressing fly may be had by the
mere hemming. Oftentimes perfect
ly good square of the old tablecloth is
left which would be large enough for
a lunch cloth and good enough to pay
one for hemstitching or featherstitch-
ing hem.

Revival at our M. E, church
closed yesterday, with an acces-
sion of twenty persons, q portion
of whom were probationers. Sew
eral had been taken in before
and some yet to follow, SO that
the membership of the church
was somewhat increased by the
revival. Eight persons were bap-
tized during the services OF the
day. The sacrament of the Lords
Supper was administered, at
which a large number of persons
partook. 1t was an interesting
and impressive occasion.
Our M. E. Sunday school will
observe the Easter festival with
the rendition of a suitable pro-
gram on the day, and make 1t
the occasion for raising mission
ary funds. Attendance is in
creasing. Over one hundred pre-
sent yesterday.
On next Sunday morning the
third quarterly meeting of this
charge will be held at Bradford.

A great injustice has unwit-
tingly or maliciously been done
this village by a report made
current through the dailies and
otherwise that we had nine cases
of smallpox. I really do not know
that there are any cases of the
dread disease anywhere near us.
One thing is sure, there is not a
single case in our village, nor
was there any here at the time
of the published report. It has
has been rumored that there were
and are four cases in a family
east from here about three miles,
but if that is tue there are no
nine cases here or there, and I
am not convinced that those four
cases were and are smallpox. If
that should prove true it will
have to be admitted they were OF
very mild form, but the report
had the effect of soaring some OF
the ruralites from visiting our
| place on business or otherwise.
