CLASS WAS BIG ONE
Two Hundred Children Took
First Communion.

A class Of two hundred children,
some as young as seven years. par
took of their first communion at st.
Andrews church on Sunday. The
occasion was most unusual one and
referred to by the Rev. Father Roell
with great deal of pleasure in his
sermon. Pope Plus X recently made
a ruling that children as young as sew
en- might be permitted to take COM
munion and Father Roell Immediately
planned for the event.
On next Sunday the Rev. Chartrand,
auxiliary bishop of the Indianapolis
diocese. will administer the sacrament
of the confirmation on the class which
partook of its first communion on
Sunday, and also classes af nearly
two hundred, who celebrated their

TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO / JENK|NSON
Indiana University Sends
Address" to Him, a
Former Trustee.

Isaac Jenkinson, who for nearly for
ty years served as a member of the
board of trustees of Indiana univers-
ity, and who was directly responsible
for many of the advanced steps taken
by the institution, has received from
that institution beautifully etched
parchment, which contains an lad
dress of the alumni association and
faculty of the university, in apprecia-
ton of his services. 1t is as follows:
1.-THE faculty and alumni of Indiana
university desires to record and pub
licly express the high appreciation
of Isaac Jenkinson. who recently re-
tired from the board of trustees. For
twenty years he was president of the
board and through forty years a men,
Der. His period of service, therefore
extends half way back to the estab-
versity. AS successful man of af-
fairs. influential editor and moulder
of public opinion throughout the state,
his efforts contributed greatly to the
material upbuilding of the university
and to it's elevation in public esteem.
The early recognition of these quail
ties by our great war governor, whose
valued adviser Mr. Jenkinson was, led
to his later appointment to the con-
sular service at Glasgow. There he
won the respect and friendship Of
many distinguished men in the fac.
ulty of the famous university in that
city. and through them his ideals of
higher education were profoundly en-
riched. To his foresight, in large
measure. was due the selection of the
beautiful wooded hill which consti-
tutes the present campus. He was a
pronounced adherent to the doctrine
of state support for higher education
at a time when such views had few
powerful friends. His keen discern
ment of men led him to recognize the
genius of David Starr Jordan and his
support was most influential in giving
to Indiana university great presi-
dent and to the country distinguish
ed educational stateman. Chief fruits
perhaps of his views and his courage,
Indiana was the first state university
to open her doors to women. To the
upright, efficient and now venerable
servant of the university and Of the
higher life of the state, we bring trib-
ute of our appreciation. Recalling his
long devotion every son and daughter
of the university gladly yields him
gratitude honor

The Grand Rapids and Indiana rail-
way--a subsidiary Of the Pennsyl

passengers in the past three years
and not one has been killed as re-
suit Of a train accident
Several weeks ago II Was announced
that the Pennsylvania railroad east of
Pittshurg had carried over SOC. oN0. 900
passengers in the past three years
with only one fatalitN as result of
an accident to train. This was fol-
lowed by an announcement from the
Vandalia that in the same three years
it had carried 100000 passengers
with perfectly clean record. SO the
Grand Rapids and Indiana il the latest
part Of the Pennsylvania railroad to
announce that for three years II has
not had a passenger killed in a train
wreck
The Grand Rapids and Indiana rail-

The Grand Rapids and Indiana has
been remarkably free from even triv-
ial accidents, there having been only
ten accidents to passenger trains in
the past three years which could be
classed as collisions, or dcrailments
affecting passenger trains alone.

Considerable mystery surrounds the

is very unlikely according to the po-

Patrons on His Rural Route
Fill Up His Wagon with

1T never rains but it pours" is the
firm belief of Joseph Peltz, rural mail
carrier.
A shower arranged for Saturday by
patrons along his route, resulted in
his hauling back to this city provis
ions and wearing apparel in such
quantities as to make the high cost of
living look absurd
Word was received by Postmaster
Haas in the morning that it might be
well for him to send out dray to
help Peltz In with donations showered
upon him. But the strict economic
policy of the Hitchcock administration
allowed for no extra expense so the
dray was not sent, and Peltz. six fee,

A careful count of Peltz's shower

CAMPBELL FEARS
FOR UNFAIR DEAL
Thinks City's Specifications
Will Favor Local Water
Works Company.

There is little probability that the
city will draw up waterworks specifi.
cations that can be bid on by any
company excepting the Richmond
City Water Works" declared E. NJ
Campfield today. He is representing
and eastern syndicate of waterworks
companies, which will make an at.
tempt to get the franchise for fur.
nishing water to Richmond. at the ex.
piration of the franchise of the local
company September. 1912.
According to Mr.. Campfield, the
board of works will give the Richmond
city company every advantage in the
specifications, on which Engineer
Charles and City Attorney A. NJ. Gard.
ner are now working. He says that
they are against him and especially
does he feel that Mr.. Gardner opposes
outside capital coming into Richmond
to furnish water. City officials say all
competing companies will be given a
square deal by the specifications.
In case Campfield's company re
ceives the contract, he says the pres.
ent private consumers rate, % cents
per thousand gallons, will be cut in
half. and further there will be no met
err rent such as is charged by the pres.
ent company.
Mr. Camp6eld also says that bet.
ter proposition would be given the city
in the extension of lines. the fire plug
contract. better and more modern
equipment. as to the plant, reservoirs
and pipe lines.
The present water works company
cannot maintain the regular fire press
is being drawn from several plugs at
a time" said Campfeld. THE mains
of the company are too small and
many hundred feet of them are rotten
from electrolysis. and are not worth
more than scrap iron," Campfield
stated.
When asked whether his company
could overcome the advantage which
the Richmond City Waterworks com.
pany has by having its plant installed,
Mr.. Campfield said that it didn't worry
him at all He claims that the plant
of the operating company is too small
with fair deal" said Campfield,
"we1l undoubtedly get the contract. 1t
will be the best thing for the city by
which the people have benefited fol-
many years.
Besides the eastern syndicate which
makes the building of waterworks its
business, and does not wish to reveal
its identity until the bid is made. there
is Chicago company, according to
MIR. Campfield which will bid on the
proposition il fair one is Sled by
the city engineer.
According to the city officials and
board of works. there is no new de
velopments in the waterworks situa-
ton. The board says that the engin-
Ger and city attorney are now busy
getting up the specifications.
