Itchino Palm Oil.

palm OIL" synonym for graft" is
not at all novelty in this sense. In

Mineral Microbes.

Some interesting experiments have
been made with ancient medals. vases
and so forth of lead that are gradually
disintegrating in the museum of Gu
ny After a certain number of years
they fall into dust. The cause, it IS
thought lies in the presence of minute
quantities of saline matter with which
the objects have become impregnated
during their long burial in the soil or
under water. These microscopic i'm
purities play the part of bacteria and
microbes in living bodies. In other
words. the lead is sick" and unless
the noxious matter can be removed
will inevitably perish. Curiously
enough. it is found that if traces of
salt are impaired to fresh mass of
lead it is attacked and eventually falls
to pieces like the objects in the mu-
scum at Cluny.

The -"
Scrap Book
Acquiring q Reputation.

Archbishop Howley, who lived in the
eighteenth century, most unjustly got
the reputation of swearing like a troop
err The explanation is that the Duke
of Cumberland, who fought the battle
of Culloden and who was unspeakably
profane, once went in quest of the pri
mate to get his assistance in defeating
a certain bill which he disliked. He
returned to the house of lords, saying:
TITS all right, my lords. I've seen the
archbishop, and he says he'll see the
promoters to - before he'll vote for
the - bill" As matter of fact, all
the profanity had been supplied quite
in the ordinary run of conversation by
the duke.

TAX ON PROPERTY
TO Be INCREASED
Seventeen Cents Added to
the Richmond Rate to
Meet This Tax.

The tax on each assessable 800
worth of property in Richmond in
1913 will be s3.l7, an increase of sew
enteen cents over 1912. The reason
for the increase is that a raise of
seven and one-quarter cents per hun
dred dollars was made in the state
levy, one and three-quarters cents in
the county levy and seven cent in
crease was made in the township ma
cadam road levy.
The corporation tax in Richmond is
$1.10 per 500, the state tax forty and
one-tenth cents per 500; township
road tax twenty-four cents per 500:
school tax ninety-one cents per 500;
the county tax levy, forty-six and
nine-tenths cents per 800; township
library tax, three cents per 500; and
the poor assessment, two cents per
500, making an aggregate tax for
1913 of 1917 on each assessable 800
in Wayne county.

ENTERS COMPLAINT;
PROMPTLY ARRESTED

With a complaint that two suit
cases had been stolen from him while
he was drinking in a saloon, William
O'Conner came into police headQuart-
ers yesterday afternoon and demand
ed that his property be recovered and
the saloon keeper arrested. The police
made the investigation, but first lock
ed up the complainant on a charge of
public intoxication O'Conner's suit
cases were found in a second hand
store, where he himself had left them.
They contained more than 100 paint
brushes which the man claims he Sc
cured from the Dayton flood. 1t is
believed he stole them, but as the po-
lice have no proof, he cannot be held
on the larceny charge. He was fined
81 and costs for public intoxication
and committed to the county Jail for
eleven days in default of the money.

DEATH RATE AMONG
BABES IS HEAVIER

According to Henry J. Pohlmeyer,
of the firm of Wilson, Pohlmeyer &
Downing, undertakers, the death rate
among infants is much greater this
summer than this time last year. Dur
ing the past week and the three days
of this week, out of eleven deaths re-
ported, six were infants. Mr. Pohl-
meyer said: We always expect a
heavy death rate among babies dur
ing the summer months, but since the
pure food laws have been enforced,
this rate has diminished greatly This
year is unusually hard on the babies,
however"
DR.. J. E. King. county health Off
Ger, stated that he had met the fort
Wayne health officer last week at Buff
falo and the latter had stated the
death rate among infants was alarm
ing in his city. The cause for the
unusual amount of deaths" said DR.
King, lis said to be a brand of con-
densed milk. which is used extensive
ly in feeding babies"

HOOVER IS HIGHEST
LUCAS FARM BIDDER
Offers $29 an Acre for 40
Acres, and Court Must
Sanction Sale Now.

A large crowd attended the sale of
the Seth Lucas murder" farm which
took place yesterday afternoon at two
O clock. The farm is in a neglected
condition, no crops having been raised
on it for two years, the house burned
down completely, and the barn only
partly standing. The entire 10 acres
were sold at $29 an acre to Mr. Hoov-
er, of Greensboro. This price is be-
low two.thirds the value of the farm
and the court must approve of the
sale before it becomes effective.
Whether the court will approve is not
known.
THE farm should bring a greater
price than $29 an acre, l think" said
Sanford Henning, trustee for the es-
tate. There are practically no build
ings and fences on the farm and we
took charge of the farm too late in
the season to put out crops this year,
but the land itself should bring more
than the Hoover bid. Superstition
and the association of the land with
Lucas crime may be responsible for
the low bids, but no evidence of such
feelings among the bidders was appar-
ent during the SALE"

BIG ASSESSMENTS
ON COUNTY ROADS
Greene Township People to
Pay 81 Gents Tax on
New Road There.

AS the result of the compiling of the
report of roads being built in Wayne
county in preparing the macadam road
levy, residents of Greene and Wayne
townships will keenly realize the ex-
istence of the three mile gravel road
law when they pay their taxes. The
assessment in Greene township per
800 for this fund will be thirty-seven
cents, while in Wayne township, Rich
mond and Spring Grove, the assess
ment per 500 will be twenty-four
cents.
The construction of the Scantlon
road in Greene township resulted in an
assessment of twenty-five cents per
500 to that township. The E. r. Cox
road cost Greene township eight cents
more per 500, and another levy of
three cents per 800 resulted from the
construction of the Morrison road.

mond and Spring Grove which result

four cents; Easthaven avenue, two
cents; Liberty pike, four cents;
North Tenth street, Spring Grove
road, three cents; Charles Minor
road, four cents; and the National
road East, six cents, making a total of
twenty-four cents per 500.
All the roads being built in Wayne
county were petitioned for under the
three-mile road law, which law pro-
vides that the taxpayers of the cities
in the townships where the roads are
being constructed shall pay a certain
per cent of the cost of building the
roads. Most of the roads which are
built in Wayne township have been
paid for largely by the residents of
this city.
The Washington township road re-
Gently constructed resulted in the
levy of thirteen cents per 800 in that
township. This was the only road con-
structed there this year.
The corporation of Whitewater pays
tax of eleven cents per 800 on the
c. L. Wright road.

THOUGHT IT A FIRE
But Just Motorcycles That
Were Tuning Up"

When Andrew Hamilton, II South
Fourth street, arose this morning, he
discovered that clouds of smoke were
coming from a shed in the rear of a
grocery at Fourth and Main streets.
Hamilton telephoned to the fire de-
partment that there was a large fire
and a special alarm was rung in from
the No. 2 hose house
Drowning the noise made by the
fire companies in arriving on the
scene, the firemen heard the unmuffled
chugging of a number of engines They
ran into the shed and discovered
through the dense cloud of smoke sew
eral motorcycle riders tuning up
their machines, too much oil having
been applied in the engines. The mo-
tor demons were ordered to work out
their machines in a more conspicuous
place in order that the smoke would
not deceive people.
