direction Of Jerusalem where he
struck the Savior IN the time Of his

to be held at Glen Miller park from

which Mr.. Homer Rodeheaver, the
famous singing conductor with Billy
Sunday, is the head. Mr.. Rodeheaver
is also known as one of the greatest
slide trombone soloists in the country.
He is slated to give several selections
on that instrument. In addition to
his musical qualities. Mr.. ROdeheaver
is also a lecturer of note.
Allen Coming
Hon. Henry J. Allen, governor of
Kansas, is the big attraction for Mon
day, Aug. %, the second day of the
chautauqua. He is a man of action
and a firm believer in civic righteous
ness, according to those who know
him. His addresses are generally
characterized by their logical and
forceful presentation of facts concern
ing public questions.
Music by the Pilgrim Male quartet
will offer the main entertainment fol
the third day, Tuesday, Aug. %. The
quartet comes from Boston, and ranks

the destruction occurring in a strip
three miles wide and about 10 miles
long. Although the storm did not hit
this city proper, it did affect inter
urban lines and telephones between
here and other places. The damage
between Rockport and Grandview was
especially heavy.
Traction Service Suspended

and Evansville was suspended Tues

to the storm was suffered by James

from Rockport. Patties' home, his
barn and his granary were struck by

burning to the ground. The house

Richmond used more water IN the
"a hours ending at midnight Tuesday
than in any corresponding length Of
time since the Richmond City Water
Works company was organized in 1855.
The consumption amounted to AGO.
900 gallons.
Try to visualize this volume of wa
ter, and you'll be convinced that the
city is feeling the hot weather
At o'clock Tuesday night, the peak
load was reached. Water was used
at the rate of 100000 gallons in
"a hours.
The consumption in June was $4,000
900 gallons.
Officials of the water works com
pany have placed no restrictions on
the use of water. There is no need
to conserve now, they said. They are
however, watching the supply care
fully
After Water "Pirates"
They have started an investigation
Oh water pirates, persons VINO use
the supply to irrgate their gardens
without paying for it.
About 80 per cent of the consumer
| they said, do not have meters and pay
| only for the use of the water in the
/ house. Persons of this classification
who use water to keep their gardens
green are violating the regulations IN
! der which they obtain their supply.

I in front of the house is parched anc

used. These people have been askeC
TO pay for the water which they have
used without paying for it.
Persons who have meters or VIII;
pay for the privilege Of using it fo
irrigation purposes, are perfectly fre'
to use the supply, but those who pa,
only for domestic consumption ant
not for irrigation purposes must stol
the practice, officials of the compan.

Barnum was right! And Green
Gartin, colored, 615 South Fifth street,
gave testimony to police Tuesday
afternoon which led them TO the con-
clusion that the oldest confidence
game on record still can be worked
on modern "know-it-alls."
Gartin, who is an affable colored
man, became acquainted with William
Derrick and James Villa ms, both one
legged colored men, who recently ar
rived in this city. Gartin is said to
have been showing them the sights
of the city Tuesday when Derrick
suddenly exclaimed that he had seen
Williams pick up a pocketbook and
demanded that he split the proceeds.
you saw him pick it up, too, didn' I
you?" Derrick is said to have eX-
claimed to Gartin. Gartin hadn't
seen the stunt pulled, but is supposed
to have seen a chance to get in on the
spoils, and said "Sure!"
Argument Extracts Cash
''It will have to be split three ways
then" Derrick stated. Opening the
pocketbook, they found gold certifi
cate for S1,000-to the best of Green's
knowledge.
The argument which resulted finally
ended with Green contributing 5000 tC
the two men, with the understanding
that he was to meet them last even
ing and settle up the rest, he states
Soon after effecting the purchase ot

LAKES OF HOT WATER
I'M NORTHERN INDIANA

Hot water in a super-abundance
is now existing in all the lakes of
northern Indiana.
A heat wave of two-weeks' dura-
ton has penetrated the waters to
a depth of four and five feet, and
has actually changed the customary
cool waters into basins of warm
and near hot water.
Vacationists at every lake from
little Shoe lake to the great Lake
Wawasee, seeking relief in the
cooling waters" were surprised
and disappointed when they stepped
into the water and experienced a
feeling not unlike that when a per-
son steps into hot BATH" which
has been allowed TO cool off.
One man who returned from
Clear lake stated that he used the
lake water for shaving, instead OF
heating water.
Swimmers from Rome City de-
clared that the water was so hot
that they actually perspired when
they swan.
