Mrs Howard was born 1S19 and was the daughter Nathan Lewis When she The motherly looking woman in the street car turned to the other woman and started again: getting an awful cold These cars are so Illy vent The woman seated next to her smiled leaned away from her sneezing neighbor and began to sneeze herself ker rhaw she started to say that conductor get the door closed for mefey Just then both women noticed that the man hanging to the strap wTas sneezing too Then the man In the seat across the isle took up the refrain Then the next passenger and so on down the car In fact in less time than it takes to tell it the entire car load of passengers bobbed their heads and sneezed like their lives depnded on it The conductor looked in wonder A pale faced invalid in nervious alarm touched the button going to get off" said he And he did The con ductor hustled to the rear platform hold ing his handkerchief to his nose The passengers sneezed at intervals And all the while two boys one in the front and one in the rear grinned fiendishly is Com more The num never These cars something of the Prather 633 South Have you made Its acquaintance ker its name visible but During the last week so popular has become at the Indianapolis Traction Terminal Station that the special police have threatened to arrest that mischievous youth next appears with it And when Officer Pemberton sees a passenger sneeze whether he really ought to sneeze or not he looks around for the a fine very fine powder It has a way of finding its way into the nostrils Of course a person has to breathe But woe to him if he chances to breathe of the powdery Verily he shall sneeze again and again is being sold at several of the cigar stands about the city And It is said that once the practical joker learns of its subtle power he never goes without Some say they can toss enough of the powder into the air with the fingers to set the entire crowd sneezing But in the Terminal Station a few days ago a young man with bland innocence written over bls youthful face passed behind a seat where sat a row of trav elers In his mouth was a small brass P1UW pipe said the fat man chow!" echoed the slender snip: which sat bobbed This week will witness the transforma tion of George Rhodius the sick man of the circle into a country gentleman if his lawyers and doctors and nurses and friends have their way The refurnishing of the Van Buren house north of the city where the man will live for a time will go forward today and barring something now unforeseen Rhodius and his retinue of nurses and servants will be commun ing with nature before the end Personally Rhodius looks forward to the change with pleasure for he greatly enjoyed the fresh air and the walks he took while at the Markleton Sanitarium in Pennsylvania and ever since the proj ect was mentioned to him a few days ago he has been anxious to move to the coun try Mrs Rhodium is delighted The change will mean for her that she will escape those about the Circle Park Hotel who have felt unkindly toward her and that her every move will not now be under the trained eye of a detective for the detective who has been at the Circle Park will not move to the country with the Rhodiuses Nothing for the comfort of the sick man and for his physical betterment will be left undone when the change Is made He will have a horse and carriage whenever he desires to drive and will walk about the country place at ills pleasure Benefits Seen In Change Drs A crlln and Hutch ins In charge of his treatment believe that the change will work wonders in his physical condition for they sav he needs fresh air and exercise more than medi cine His confinement at the Circle Park they believe has been a real detriment to him It Is now probable that there will be nothing further of the Rhodius case in the courts until Saturday when it is ex pected Judge Walker will hear arguments as to the right of Miller Shirley Miller and Cass Connaway to appear as attor neys for Rhodius In the filing of a request for the reopening of the proceedings by which Martin Hugg was appointed temporary guardian for the Rhodius estate of $700000 Saturday is also the date set as return day on a petition to have Rhodius de clared Insane but it is not probable that any action will be taken then It has been the plan of the various persons in terested in the matter to continue the temporary guardianship unless Miller Shirley Miller and Connawav can show that It should be set aside until Rhodius has a chance to get well if his recovery be possible Should

the Police Station building like it was afire Street cars bicycles and wagons were pressed into service and there was a veritable ex odus of officers to Merrill street and Capi tol avenue And they found the man who was shot He was Thomas Miller colored 645 Eddy street He was just as the excited in formant had said through and the finger But the fact that Miller came out of the shooting scrape with no more serious in jury than the loss of a tip of a finger was not because Claud Braxton a baBber at 206 West Merrill street had not tried to shoot him The officers found Braxton at his shop shaving away as calmly and se renely as if there had been no gun play in the neighborhood at all The police spent some time finding Miller however He said he started running when Braxton began to shoot and that he found it ex ceedingly hard to stop Ah shot said Braxton when asked about it ought a shot And then he told his story He said that Miller had insulted Mrs Braxton and that he had chided the man for it Miller he said informed him that it was none of his business that he sav whatever he pleased to Mrs Braxton And then they mixed Braxton said Miller floored him and that he then produced his and waded into the fight in earnest According to other witnesses whose statements were verified by Braxton after he reached the Police Station Braxton fired four shots at Miller The first shot was fired at close range The second was not at such close range The third was fired when Miller was half a square away and the fourth was not dangerous because Miller was then a block away and

noon as he stepped to one side and viewed the magnificent as it basked in the warm sunshine of Bright wood The is a new bile which has just been completed in the yards of the Interstate Car Com pany and some time this week it will bear the officials of the Yellowston Park Rail road Company merrily onward toward the great National Park The car will be used in the passenger service on a short coal line which extends between Bridger and Bear Creek in Montana or a time' the question of shipping the car to its far Western destination was considered but this was given up and as soon as A Hall president of the Yellowstone road arrives the Western journey will be begun to all appearances Is an ordinary interurban car minus the trolley pole It is run by a gasoline en gine just th same as a big touring car and its maximum speed will be thirty Jve miles an hour The engine is fifty horse power about three times as power ful as the engine of an ordinary touring It is not the first car of the kind ever constructed out Mr Reeves who master mecnanic ot the Yellowstone pany believes that it will be far efficient than cars built previously Union Pacific Railroad has built a ber of similar cars but they have uiuveu lu ue satisiactory nOVA oil I iir wcigntns Bumeuiing like 58000 pounds each and have been geaied to a high speed 60 miles an hour 7 The is as light as a feather figuratively speaking it weighs uuiy ovuuu puunas in its gearing ap paratus it is different from others of its kind It can be geared to three different speeds and may be geared as low as five miles an hour or to the maximum of thirty five miles This gearing facility makes the car much more easily con ti oiled and reduces the wear and tear of the engine to a maximum It is these qualities Mr Reeves believes that will make the car entirely a success The boasts a notable history Several years ago a concern known as the Vimotum Company built a number of cars equipped with gasoline engines and it was thought at that time that these cars would revolutionize methods of transportation The mistake howexer was in gearing these cars to too high a speed and the project was a failure One of these cars was the and it was the only one which at first was constructed in a sensible manner At first it was geared to a speed of twenty five miles an hour While geared at this speed it was run to a num ber of cities around Indianapolis and finally was run to Philadelphia where it made trips between Philadelphia and Reading The builders however were not sat isfied and the car was brought back to Indianapolis and was rebuilded on a larger scale This was the fatal mistake and it was a failure It was at this time that the Vimotum Company gave up Its project and the "Sunny Brook was side tracked in Indianapolis and was allowed to go to ruin A few months ago the Yellowstone Rail road Company took up the question of equipping its short coal line in Montana with better passenger service The pas sengers had always been carried on one passenger car attached to a cpal train The Yellowstone Company heard of the enterprise of the Vimotum Company and Incidentally of the going to pieces under the onslaught of the ele ments The company purchased the car apd then consulted the master mechanic "Go to Indianapolis" said tlie president of the road have that car repaired and then equip it with a gasoline engine and we will run it back here and use These were the meager instructions re ceived by Mr Reeves the master me chanic He came to Indianapolis and the old hulk was transported to the yards of the Interstate Company in Brightwood and there was transformed into a modern interurban car equipped with leather up holstered seats and painted a bright yel lou Then the work of installing the engine was begun and the car 1s now complete It has made several trial runs on the small track in the railroad yards It is probable that the start to Montana will be made this week The car perhaps will be run over the Pennsylvania tracks to Chicago and then over the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul to Omaha rom Omaha to the West the tracks of the Union Pacific will be used are welcome to use our said one of the high officials of the Union Pacific have tried to build these automobile cars and we want to see how you do It We believe you will be wiser after yuu have tried it Mr Reeves the master mechanic will be man at the during the run His Passengers will be Mr Hall president of the road and other railroad officials who desire to see the test run Mr Reeves is a graduate of Purdue Uni versity and his soul is in his work He believes that the xyill be a grand success PASSENGER SERVICE tn Kentucky in of Dr and Mrs was 6 years old her parents came to Indiana settling in Decatur County where Dr Lewis built

Investigating Committee had stated that the predated policies sold by Indiana companies are legitimate If not misrepresented The men denied having misrepresented policies While the auditor would not
