TO REPAIR THE
SOUTH | SEWER
Condition Investigated Today
by Board of Works.
Orders Improvement.

AS a result of considerable trouble
experienced by the city street depart
ment since the improvement of South
l. street, Street Commissioner Gem
at the meeting of the board of public
works today said that it is absolutely
necessary to repair the sewer. The
board decided to investigate the con-
dition of this sewer this afternoon. 1t
may be necessary to tear up the sew
er and to construct another at this
point, the cost of which will be paid
by the city, township and county.
The board decided at the meeting
today to pay $500 on the paving of
North Sixth street, from D to F street.
The street is to be paved with creosote
wooden block. The estimated cost of
the improvement is between $4,000
and $4,000.
A letter was received today by the
works board from the officials of the
Terre Haute, Indianapolis and East
ern Traction company in regard to the
proportion of the cost of the flooring
of the Doran bridge which the trac-
ton company is to pay.
Subscriptions from business men and
others who are interested in the open
ing of South Seventh street from to
l. streets, have amounted to 1885,. The
board, at a recent meeting allowed
Harmon Swicker, owner of several
lots through which the proposed
street would run, damages to the
amount of $500. The subscriptions are
to pay for damages. In case the
amount of the subscriptions are not
sufficient to cover the amount of dam
ages allowed, the city will make up the
deficiency.

FEATHERED BY MEN
National News Association

(NationaI News ASSociation)
NORWALK, Ohio, Oct. 24.-Six
prominent Clarksfield township men
have been indicted by the grand jury
for tarring pretty 1S-year-old Minnie
Lavalleh several weeks ago. The girl
was reported to have been tarred by
wives who accused the girl OF miscon-
duct with their husbands The in
dictments were kept secret until to-
day pending the arrest of the men.
The girl excited pity as she told her
story to the grand jury. She said she
was walking along the road near her
home in the evening when she was
seized by the men and carried to a
barn where a crowd awaited with a
tar pot. At first she thought some in
the crowd were women but later de-
cided they were men masquerading in
wcmen's clothing, she told the jurors

CHEAP LABOR OF
CHINA A MENACE
DR.. Hodgkin Tells Earlham
Students China's Com
merce Is to Be Feared.

The Napoleonic utteraacc, when
China moves she will move tic world,
was made the subject OF stirring ad-
dress delivered today before the stu
dents of Earlham college by DR.. Henry
T. Hodgkin, head of the West China
university.
Dr. Hodgkin pointed out that the
menace of China lies not in the vast
hordes that may be welded into an ef-
fesctive fighting machine, but in the
cheap labor with which she will soon
be able to turn out commodities and
invade the commercial centers. In the
steel industry of China, laborers are
paid five cents day. The resources
of the country are undeveloped, but
with the return of trained Chinese en-
gineers who have attended the Ameri-
can schools, China is beginning to tap
these vast resources Of wealth.
7"The educated Chinaman," said DR..
Hodgkin, is making rapid strides and
twill not be long until China, emulat-
ing the example of Japan, will be able
to maintain a position of strength in
the commercial world. Her people
are waking from the sleep of ages.
1.-THE city Of ~Harbin,~ which was
founded and built by Russian capital
is now practically in the control of the
Chinese who have advanced loans for
the improvement of that city. Much
money has been spent on harbor and
street improvements. The Russians Of
this city are bankrupt and the Chinese
now control the city's commerce.
"The opium traffic has practically
ceased. Whole provinces have ceased
to grow the poppy, and in one pro-
vince the Chinese farmers who vio-
late the edict against the growing of
the flower have been beheaded by the
governor.
JIhina are bent on commercial exploit
s4ation and care little for Christianity.
they hinder the growth Of the Chris
tlan religion by their acts and deals.
while inland recently I was ap-
preached by an American life insur-
ance agent who wanted me to accept
q position as medical examiner. This
illustrates how fast China is progress
ing. You can find the agencies of the
Standard Oil company far from the
sea coast.
II am in America and will visit Eng
land to ask people to assist financially
in the work of the university with
which | am connected. Only through
the inculcation of proper religious
ideals can the Chinese people become
a power that will make for the good of
humanity"

DOES NOT UPHOLD
GAMBLING At TRACK

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Oct "a
Owing to the failure of the members of
the Racing Corporation of America to
arrive here this morning the injunc-
ton suit filed against Governor Mar
shall and officers of the state national
guard was postponed for trial until
late this afternoon. The racing cor
poration alleges that if the troops are
permitted to remain at the track and
racing is prohibited the property of the
corporation, valued at 100000, will
depreciate. 1t is the contention of
the officials of the racing company
that there is no gambling by bookmak-
ers and any betting that may be going
on is between individuals and the cor
poration is powerless to prevent it,
