Having been informed there was
plan on foot for the establishment of
road house outside the corporate linz

city and the township, outside of the
bility of holding an option election.
which will effect only that part of
Wayne township outside of the city
of Richmond.
The purpose of the proposed cleo
ton is twofold. In the first place the
temperance people do not want any
more saloons in the county, the coun-
ty, with the exception of Richmond
now being "dry''-and. in the second
place, they do not want to see a road
house established near the city, be-
lieving that its Influences would all
be extremely demoralizing.
In presenting Il petition to the coun-
ty commissioners for an option cleo
ton, under the new Proctor law. the
temperance forces must get at least
twenty per cent of the total vote in
the township outside of Richmond to
agree to an election. When this is
done the commissioners may set a
time for the election, the expenses of
which would be taxed against the
township.
No petitions asking for an option
election have as yet been drawn up.

Postcard Etiquette.

AS general rule postal card

purposes. Socially it is only to be EN-
ployed for rather impersonal commu

forwarding an address. If it is an alb
soiute necessity to send one to friend
or a member of ones family. as. when
stopping for Il moment at railroad
station. one wishes to send a line
home. the sentences should be shor
and to the point, with an apologize
word for its use. Tie communication

Judging from the attitude of sever
al members of the Wayne county
council at its special session Friday
morning at the court house, there vii
be no money appropriated from tbs
general funds Of the county for tht
construction of an insane ward at eth
er the county jall or the intlrmary.
No definite or Official action was tax
en- on which to base such a statement
yet questions by number of the coun
Gilman could have no other Inference
than that they were afraid if the coun-
~ provided an insane institution OF
its own, the institutions accommoda-
tons would soon be taxed to the ut
most. then having no other place in
which to house its insane, the county
would have to resort to the Jail.
Fox Pleads For 1t.
Councilmen really believe that the
county needs such an institution were
there any way to guard against abuses
such as they suggested. Judge II. C.
Fox of the circuit court and Timothy
Nicholson member of the state
board of charities, were before the
council and were loud in their demand
for the construction of such a county
institution.
Several of the councilmen who in
terrupted both Judge Fox and Mr.
Nicholson while speaking, did so to
ask their opinion as TO how to guard
against probab abuses. These coun
cilmen stated they We're afraid there
were any number of people in the
county who, in order to be relieved OF
the care of some INDECENT and possibly
weak minded member of their families
would have them declared insane and
placed in the institution, which ii
ever erected will be a model one. The
councilmen found that if any relative
or close friend of person of weak
mind would allege that he or she was
insane and dangerous that upon a
finding of lunacy commission to this
effect, the county authorities could dc
nothing but accept the custody of the
individual.
If there would be no more rush tC
place insane in the proposed ward at
the county infirmary than there is
now TO place them in the county Jail
then the fears of the councilmer
would be set at rest. The largest
nun Der ever confined in the Jail al
one time awaiting admittance to East
ern Indiana hospital is thought tC
have been six men in the South Sec
ond street Jail, and four women in the
Home for Friendless on South Tenth
street. The proposed number of rooms
i'm the detention ward at the infirmary
is sixteen. providing accommodations
for that number of individuals.
The question of operating expenses
did not enter into the discussion.

Recruits at the Mobilization
Camp Learning This.
american News Scrvicc)

San Antonio. Tex, March 24.-The
young man who had enlisted in the
regular army, but who had not been
assigned to regiment previous to
the mobilization OF the United States
troops at Fort Sam Houston has had
some rare experiences. Some two or
three hundred of the troops have been
sent to this city in the past few days
and many of these have discovered
that army life at u mobilization camp
is not one continuous picnic. Squads
of these men have been given from
three to five hours a day in continuous
drills in an effort to whip them into
condition before they are assigned to
the various regiments. Weather con-
ditions have made no difference. they
have been getting plenty of action and
some real new information relative to
the qualifications for soldiers. The
young man who had enlisted think
ing that the regular army offered
kind of a pleasure excursion has had
his anticipations badly shattered At
the camp almost any hour of the day
from sunrise to retreat squads of these
men can be seen under direction of an
officer going through drill formation
and learning the art of appearing at
their best at all times. 1t is but the
fact, too. to say that many of them
are getting some valuable information
on sanitary conditions and all those
things which teach men how to take
care of themselves and be ready for
service at all times. 1t can be truth
fully said that the new recruits have
been getting numbers Of things which
they did not know were on the pro-
gram.

ARMY IS NOT C|NCH SHOT TO MERE BITS
Was San Marcos by Crack
Yankee Cunners.

Washington. March 24.-Two broad
sides from the battleship New Hamp-
shire were all that was necessary to
put the old battleship San Marcos, for
merly the Texas, of Spanish war fame
out of commission.
Had the San Marcos been an enemy
the battle probably would have been
ended almost before it was begun, SO
accurate was the aim of the gunners
of the New Hampshire in directing the
fire against the ship in Chesapeake
bay this week This is the concensus
of opinion of the naval and ordnance
officers who returned to Washington
Thursday.
These first two broadsides fired by
the New Hampshire when steaming at
more than six miles distance practic-
ally peppered the San Marcos.
In the spectacular exhibition made
by the next four salvos. designed to
could be dropped without actually hit
ting it, the shells dropped so close to
the mark that the vessel was show
cred by great columns of spray that
rose 200 feet in the air.
The observing board found that the
shells of the New Hampshire had
worked such havoc that one of the
members of the board admitted today
they had hesitated about going aboard.
We weren't certain that the vessel
would not crumble upon u.s. he said.

Why PRAIRIE is TREELEss
Iowa Expert Finds This 70 Due Not TO
Soil or Topography, but to
Climate.

Prof. B. Shimek of the State Uni
versity Of Iowa has. been studying
this question in Iowa, where the
treeless prairie originally covered
more than seven-eighths Of the to-
tai area Of the state He finds that
the absence Of trees is not due pri-
marily to the soil or the topography,
nor to such causes as prairie fires,
the former abundance of the bison,
ETC., but is an effect Of climate. More
over, it is not due TO deficient rain
fall so much as to an excessive rate
Of evaporation. "The prairie areas
are uniformly so situated that they
are fully exposed to the factors
which cause rapid evaporation,
namely, the sun and the wind. Dur
ing much of the year they may pre-
sent conditions quite favorable to
plant growth, but there are seasons
and there are portions of the year,
in midsummer, when evap-
Oration and consequent desiccation
become so extreme that only those
plants which are especially adapted
to dry regions can survive. "--Scien-
tific American.
