TO KEEP MEN FROM SPLITTING.
Indiana State Board of Health Issues q
Remarkable Circular.


If the state board of health carries out
It's idea there is going to be less spit
ting done in the state of Indiana than
there is at present, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, The board is the in
yeterate enemy of the man who spits,
and proposes to pursue him with all
the weapons that law will permit it to
use. 1t viii issue a circular letter to all
railroad officials in Indiana asking them
to have elected from their trains every
man who spits, that is, if he spits per-
sistenetly, after being warned not to.
In its circular the board explains that
"sputum" is an eXcrement, full of the
germs of la grippe, nasal catarrh and a
whole train of minor ills. 1t also adds
the information that splitting is nasty
and unnecessary habit" and that "wom-
en- do not" II explains that the state
board of health will pass rule against
splitting, which will have all the force of
law If the railroads will only post 1t up
and do their best to enforce it. With a
stroke of persistence, the board adds:
when the rule is first published In each
county, and when posted In public places,
this board will, of course. be loudly abused
as foolish. impracticable and idiotic. At
tention then being gained, we will publish
in every county reasons for the action"

Finding of the Body, Near Warren. Mimi,
Gives Rise to Many Lawsuits.
An unprecedented suit was begun at
Crookston, Mimi, the other night, when
at midnight the sheriff took possession
of the petrified man found near Warren
last week and stood guard over it all
night, removing the remains to the
county Jail in the morning. The body
was found on a farm rented and occu-
pied by one Rondon, who gave bill OF
sale TO the two laborers who unearthed
1t for 500. They Immediately sold 1t
for SITS TO C. E. Bergs, but left the .coun-
try before paying Rondon. The latter
then began suit against 'Bergs for pos
session, but there appeared on the
scene G.. II. McPherrin, who owns the
farm where it was found, and gets 1t
under replevin. In the meantime Bergs
resoid his SITS purchase to Mrs. Mamie
Childs for $1,000 cash, and has skipped

THEY COME HIGH.
Estimated Cost of q National Convention
Placed at S4.OOO,OOO.

= Placed at S4.00O,OOO.
It is estimated that the entire expense
OF q national convention, everything
included, cannot be much less than
$4,000, 000-enough to build four great
battle ships. What are known as the
rstraight" expenses of the Minneap-
oils convention in 1892 amounted to
S150,000. The same class of expenses at
st, Louis will not fall much below this
sum, says the Chicago Times-Herald,
and in this instance will be borne by
the ~Citizens' League of ST. Louis"
But the sum to be expended by the
citizens league will be a mere baga-
telle compared to the aggregate ex-
penses of nearly a thousand delegates,
q thousand alternates and a hundred
thousand strangers. The estimate Of
S4,000,000 includes the probable daily
expenditures of over 100000 people for
q week, the stupendous telegraph tolls
Of the newspapers and press associa-
tions, the maintenance of various state
headquarters and the cost of the rail-
way tickets to transport this great
crowd of people from all parts Of the
union.
The cigar bill alone, allowing five
cigars per day for each of the 100000
strangers, which is a conservative al
lowance for the average politician, will
represent an Investment of nearly $780,
900, while the cost of enjoying the bev-
erages with which the southern city is
so plentifully supplied would astound
some people who imagine that a repub.
lican national convention Is a dry affair.
All of these estimates take no ac-
count of the disbursements Of the ante
convention machinery of each "favorite
son" which, in these days Of fiery post
ers and elaborate literary promotion
bureaus, amount to enormous sums.
Party fervor, indeed, has cash value,
and conventions are expensive luxuries.

RUSSIA WILL DELAY
In Putting the Contemplated Cur

LONDON, Oct 30.-The correspond

portant statement regarding the finan-
ces of Russia. He says: 81 hear from
st. Petersburg that the car has de-
cided to postpone the currency reform,
which it was proposed to submit to
the state council this afternoon This
proposed reform Of the Russian cur
rency, briefly, was to be an introduction
OF new gold coinage to correspond
exactly with the present value of the

bullion and foreign gold, some 10000
tons of new coined silver are arriving
every fortnight from France, and the
new copper coinage is being struck at
the mint in Birmingham. All Russian
officials are now paid partly in gold and
silver, and the public is compelled to
accept metal to which It has not hither-

BRYAN SAYS 1T WILL DEPRECIATE.
Admits Free Silver VIII Lessen the
Purchasing Power of the Dollar.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Candidate
Bryan In letter to the Evening Jour-
nal admits for the first time that with
free silver the purchasing power of a
dollar will be less. OF course he goes
on to qualify the admission, but even a.
qualified admission is greater exhib-
ition of candor, than was to have been
expected from Mr.. Bryan. His letter
is in answer to this question:
is 1t true that as soon as we get
rree silver the purchasing power Of the
Workingman's wages will decrease ?'
The answer: That is a question
that is propounded by the manufac-
turer and employer, who seems to be
AFRAID that under free coinage he will
nave to get his men for less wages than
they are working for now. 1 want to
say, in the sense in which the words
are used, l reply no. There are two
things to be considered:
First, the number Of dollars that
the laboring man receives: and sec
ond, the purchasing power of the dollar
he receives.
If you take the purchasing power of
a single dollar it will be less, but at the
present time great many working
men are working on half time, and
many are not able to find work at all !:
and you must remember that when YOU
decide whether the purchasing power
Of the workingman's wages is decreased
you must take what the workingman
will receive in dollars under free COIN
age and compare it with what the
,Workingman receives in dollars now
under the gold standard"

DISASTER AVERTED.
Three Hundred Passengers Saved by
a Narrow Chance.

LYNN, Mass, Oct. 3o.-The Rockport ex-
press the eastern division Of the Boston
& Maine road, leaving Boston at 4:1O this
afternoon had a narrow escape from being
precipitated into the Saugus river, through
the failure, it is said, Of the air brakes to
work. AS it was, the engine Of the train
went into the river, while the tender and
first passenger coach were both derailed and
tonight hang over the edge within few feet
of the rushing water. The Saugus river draw
was open this afternoon. to allow a coal barge
to pass through. The draw is protected by
signals, and the draw tender declares that all
were set at danger. The barge had passed
through and the draw was partially closed
when the Rockport express came in sight.
The train slackened speed as it approached
the draw, but instead Of stopping at the
signal 1t pushed on in spite of every effort on
the part of the engineer to stop. Engineer
Doherty then whistled for the hand brakes,
and the train hands. by quick work, man
aged to stop the train, but not before the
engine had reached the draw and toppled over
into the stream. Engineer Doherty and Fire
man Jameson, when they found that the en-
CINE was going through the draw. jumped
and were rescued from the river somewhat
injured. There were nearly three hundred
passengers on the train.

CarlisIe's Annual Report Depends
Upon the Election

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 30.-Secretarv
Carl1sle's annual report will derive its char
acter from the result of the election A de-
clsion in favor of the silver standard would
compel the secretary of the treasury to ex-
plain the circumstances attending the sus-
pension Of gold payments. None of the treas
ury officials believe the redemption of legal
tender notes In gold could be continued more
than month after a silver triumph with
out exhausting the gold reserve
Secretary Carlisle may also be governed nv
the result Of the elections in his recon-
mendations regarding the revenue. He has
not yet considered in detail either of several
plans which have been suggested for supply
ing revenue without a general revision of
the tariff. Plans which have been suggested
are: Levy specific duty on tea and coffee;
restoration of a specific duty ON sugar and
increase the tax on beer Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin and other supporters Of reve-
nue. tariff favor the duty on tea and coffee,
because it is in line with the revenue tariff
policy.
A South Carolina tea grower appeared be-
fore the ways and means committee at the
last session asking a duty upon tea as a
measure OF protection, but he did not sue
coed in overthrowing the traditional attitude
of opposition Of the Republican members to-
ward duty these articles.
A change In the sugar duty from ad yalorem
to specific might be made under certain con-
ditions. The change from the present scale
of duties to asspeciffc duty of two cents per
pound would add $50, 600 COO to the revenue
Doubling the beer tax would add an equal
