HAUNTED HOUSE
TO Be RAZED
None Will Live in Famous
ReCtory in the State Of
Indiana.

EIKHART. Ind. July 22-Thc
haunted rectory OF Elkhart is TO be
RACED This building, the property OF
ST. Johns Episcopal church is in good
condition but has been unused for
years. The strange stories told by
many persons who have stayed all
night in It have frightened all occu-
pants away. Now, although they do
not admit it is haunted, the yostrymen
have decided TO tear ii down,
The last occupant was the Rev, W.,
w. Daup and wife Mrs. Daup was
driven almost to nervous prostitution
by the stalking OF the alleged ghost
So severely shaken was her nervous
system that the belief that II ghost
really haunted the house became gem
cral and no one would occupy It.
Many persons have entered the rec
tory to remain all night within its
bare walls and prove TO the populacc
that the ghost theory was foolish,
Some have remained all night and said
they heard nothing have como
out of the house shaken with fright
declaring they heard strange noises,
that electric lights were turned on and
on and that bed clothes mystcrlously
disappeared.
A spiritualistic medium was once
prevailed on to enter the rectory. Tho
next morning she announced that tho
ghost was the spirit of young girl
who had committed suicide in the
house while her father was rector
Many old residents recalled the sui
eide and the belief in the ghost grew
stronger.
Workmcn will examine the walls
carefully when they tear the building
down to find out II any popularity In
the construction Of the building could
have caused strange noises at night.

ForExhibition
Movies Shown at San Francis
co to Be Seen in State
with Additions.

CHARLESTON, July 22.-Through
the Office of Howard L. Williams, COM
missioner OF agriculture Of West Vir'
ginia, the people of the state will soon
have the opportunity of seeing fol
themselves the $4,000 feet Of splendid
motion picture film made in forty-sly
of the fifty-Ave counties and exhibited
throughout ten months Of last veal
in the West Virginia building at the
Panama-Pacihc international esposl'
ton.
These pictures attracted widespread
attention at the exposition, and were
viewed by many thousands of people
from all parts Of the world. They
we're made the subject Of favorable
comment by high officials of the ex'
position company, and there we're very
few afternoons of the exposition sea-
son that the comfortable little picture
room in this states building was not
literally patronized. A vast state
building took pleasure in viewing the
projection Of the pictures, commenting
favorably upon them, and numerous
people requested that they be shown In
the state following the close Of the eXr
position. This request becoming gen.
eral, and especially among motion pic
ture theatre managers, Commissioner
williams finally decided to have the
pictures re-assembled and place them
at the disposal Of the movies" in West
Virginia.
His first effort looking TO this end
was the sending out Of circular let
ter to theater managers, setting forth
his plan, and so general has been the
response that the work of re-assemb-
ling, re-entitllng and re-arrangIng the
entire footage is now going on at the
the department Of agriculture, and II
is stated that the films will be ready
for projection in local houses Of the
state not later than the first Of Septem-
Der.
Numerous new films have been made
in order to bring the pictures up tc
date, and interesting statistics are be-
ing gathered which will show at
glance, when projected on the screens
the progress West Virginia is making
in various ways, especially horticul-
tural development, manufacturing en-
terprlse, etc. The pictures cover a wide
scope Of subjects, every one Of them
deeply Interesting. Through these pic
lures It is possible for the people re-
siding in one section Of the state to
see what the people in all other sec
tons are doing.
