Minister Brands Industrial
Conditions of Today AS
Anarchism.
POVERTY AND WANT
Thurston Says Ills Are Due
to Wrong Thinking
Ben Hur Memorial.

Industrial conditions of today are
anarchism" exclaimed the Rev. E. G.
Howard, pastor of the First English
Lutheran church in an eloquent and in
the Burdens of the Brethren I'VE
must cry out against them," he contin-
ued, competition is driving men
down, down, down and each man must
do his best to retain his industrial ex-
: istence.
I'VE are suffering physical burdens.
The men in factories and the women
and children in sweatshops are suffer
ing in the midst of the stress of mod
ern times. We know men are walking
the streets to secure employment to
support and provide for their families.
We know there is poverty and want on
every hand.
Must Eliminate Evils.
ut should be our determination to
see that these same conditions of our
working men should not exist in the
next century. Our state must move
forward and we should feel it a duty
eliminate the evils of present times
1--WE must not look with cynicism
nor with criticism upon the burden of
others but with charity and loving
kindness in our hearts. When you see
a vision, such as Moses saw, sympa-
thy for the weaker brother will over
come you.
"The spiritual burden is the heaviest
of all. When we feel that we are not
doing right by our fellow-men and our
God, when we feel that we are not
living as we should live, the thoughts
are heaviest to bear. No mental or
physical anxiety can cause as much an
guish as the burdens of the soul.
'If Moses had failed to answer the
call for sacrifice when he saw the Wis.,
ion, Israel would have been lost. II
you fail to answer man or woman is
lost. There is the eternal, omnipotent
power which can overthrow dynasties,
looking upon the works we do in this
world. Jesus, bearer of the heaviest of
all burdens, carries yours and you in
return should carry those of your fell
low-men."
The Rev. Howard talked at length
on the advantages and opportunities
which the people of today have as
against those of Israel in Moses
time. His sermon was given close at
tention.
vocal solo by Mrs. F. J. Bartel
was given prior to the sermon. The

ranged to make it a most enjoyable

Car Horrible Sight.
Piled high in the splintered car was
terrible mass of humanity. Strong
men fought TO make their way to the
open air over the forms of women
and children. Others gave their lives
that women and children might be
saved. Those in the telescoped cars
who had been standing were jammed
together until several lives were
crushed out and many were injured.
Those in the seats were wedged into
mass so compact that hours were
required to cut away the timbers and
separate the dead from the living.
Darkness made the spectacle more
horrible and the work of rescue much
slower.

THOUGHTS ARE THINGS"
Or. J. M. Thurston Talked at Second
Presbyterian Church.

Thoughts are Things" was the sub
ject of DR.. ]. NJ. Thurston yesterday
morning in a talk at the Second Pres
byterian church. DR.. Thurston explain
ed the relation of the brain over the
action and the material part of a per-
son to the immaterial. He declared
that although only one-third of a hui
man being is material, the immaterial
controls the material.
immortality and crime" said the
speaker, "can be traced back to wrong
thinking and the failure to recognize
that thoughts are immaterial. Over
one-half of the actions of the body are
mechanical or involuntary, each func-
tion performing these actions seeming
to think of itself. In the Bible, the
heart is mentioned 81 times in con-
nection with thought.
"All the functions of the body are
coordinated in the brain. Pain sensa-
tion, no matter in what part of the
body it seems to be, is really in the
brain and in administering anesthetic
for an operation, the pain is not felt
because the cell of the brain in which
pain is registered, is dulled temporar-
lily. All the ills that flesh is heir to,
are due to wrong thinking.
DR.. Thurston used as a text, For as
he thinketh within himself, so is he
He declared that life. soul and thought
are immaterial and constitute two
thirds of the human being and that
death is only natural phenomina. He
stated that science and the Bible prove
that there is a hereafter.

Corporal Schmidt, the smallest OF

Henry Reok, who works at Glen Mil

Metz. He and Schmidt did not know
that they had fought against each 9TH

met in this country.
The old soldiers have been in Ameri.

A dispute over the possession of AL.
SAGE and Lorraine was the cause OF
the fighting. The result was the utter
humiliation of the French arms, the
session of the disputed territory to
Prussia, and the payment by France OF
a $5.oso, 5000 war indemnity.

WOMAN FIGURES IN
A FIGHT IN FLAT
Used Washboard With Tell.
ing Effect on Herbert
and Harry Kelley.
R. JONES TO RESCUE

A mop, clothes stick and washboard
welded by a woman figured in a fight
Saturday night between Ralph Jones
and Herbert and Harry Kelley. The
two Kelleys were finally rounded up
by Chief of Police Gormon and Jones
and were fined in police court this
morning.
The Kelleys entered an empty flat
at 1914 Fort Wayne Avenue at $3.50
Saturday night and told Mrs. Weber,
who occupies an apartment in the
place. that they were looking for Har-
ry King. When they were told that
King did not live there, they left and
returned within short time knocking
at the door of Mrs. Joseph Lahman,
whose apartments are on the second
floor.
They became angry when Mrs. Lab
man told them to leave and advanced
towards her, frightening her. She seiz-
ed a clothes stick and threw il at
them, striking Herbert on the head.
She then ran and called for help,
Ralph Jones appearing. The Kelleys
struck Jones with the clothes stick
and then jumped on him.
Mrs. Lahman came to the aid with
wash board, beating Harry Kelley
until he released his hold on Jones
who succeeded in throwing Herbert
Kelley down the stairs. He then seiz-
ed Harry Kelley and threw him after
his brother. A mop followed the pair
and it was thrown with such accuracy
that it struck both OF them who were
lying together at the foot of the steps.
Jones testified that the Kelleys had
fought him and Chief Gormon who was
called to the scene as the pugilistic
pair were daring" Jones to follow up
the fight in the alley. Gormon and
Jones were both cut and bruised be.
fore the patrol wagon arrived.
Harry Kelley who pleaded guilty TO
assault and battery was fined 81 and
costs which he paid. Herbert pleaded
not guilty but was found guilty and
fined s5 and costs which with witness
fees amounted to SIS. He was sent to
the county Jail.

Interesting Stories Are Told
By German Veterans Liv-
ing in Richmond of the
War of 1871.

Twice a month the bloody battles of
the Franco-Prussian War are refought
in the tongue of the Vaterland, by a
little band of veterans who meet at
the old South Side fire station.
Entering the room a person forgets
for a time, that he is in America; that
enclosure is Germany. The walls are
decorated with relics of the famous
war. Old prints of grim generals glare
down upon the proceedings, while por-
traits of the present Emperor and EN-
press occupy prominent places at the
front of the room.
Smoking old cob pipes, the veterans
sit with knees together, perfectly at
home, talking the native language.
Eight Saw Service.
Eight of the number saw actual ser
vice in the war, while the others were
forced to remain at home, as reserves
to fill up the depleted ranks at the
front. Corporal Christopher Schmidt
!, and Charley Gedding were in the fight
ing from the battle of Worth to the
capture of Paris. Othersfought in the
battles of Gravelotte. Sedan and Metz,
but were not at the front from the be-
ginning.
Charley Geddine Wounded.
Charley Gedding was the only one
of the number to be wounded. He was
shot in the abdomen at the battle of
Gravelotte. Gravelotte was a village,
just a few houses, which was sur
rounded by high stone wall. Inside
were the French. The fighting began
at O'Clock in the morning and lasted
until II o'clock at night. During this
time Mr.. Gedding says that the sol
diers had neither food or water, but
fought and scrambled over heaps of
dead bodies and waded in pools of
blood

DISTRIBUTION Of
1912 TAXES MADE
Wayne County Helping
Many Counties in State,
Says Bowman.
APPORTION AMOUNTS

The balance of the distribution OF
the first installment of 1912 taxes to
the townships and school corporations
was made today by L. S. Bowman,
county auditor, as required by law.
! This distribution includes only the To-
cal and state tuitions funds, all other
funds having been disbursed in June
The total amount to be paid to the va
rious trustees and school treasurers is
$94 ,341.77; of this amount s23,500.92 is
the state tuition and the remainder
$70,S40.S5 which is local tuition is de
rived from four sources, viz: from To-
township or school trustees, SCI, ,949.-
IA; from liquor licenses, $6,1O0; from
congressional interest, s590.S3, and
from surplus dog fund, $2,200.2S.
The state tuition fund, which is de
rived from 13 3-5 cent state levy
produced s26,415.55 for the first in
stallment in Wayne county. This
amount plus S5,S36.04, common school
interest, makes a total of $32,252.59

apportionment. Wayne county has TO-.

Wayne Helps Many.
The intent of the present law for
apportionment of state tuition was to
help the poor counties having low val
uations, but some of the most pros.
porous counties in the state such as
Allen, Delaware, Grant, ST. Joseph,
Vanderburg, and Vigo are receiving
aid from Wayne and other counties on
account of low valuation placed on
taxables in those respective counties.
The manner of apportionment was
made necessary at the time of adop,
ton of uniform course of study for
the common school by the state board
of education.
If the state board of tax commits
sioners would force higher valuation
from the counties which have been
shirking, Wayne and other counties
similarly situated would be assisted in
carrying the burden caused by the less
fortunate counties of the state

toned to the various township and
