GREAT CROP OF PEAS.
Two Suburban Canning Factories
Working Night and Day.

There is unusual activity in the canning
factories these days in packing the pea
product The American Canning Company,
of North Indianapolis, is employing two
hundred people, working both night and
day, in putting up many cans of pease.
Pease from about $50 acres have been
brought to the factory for canning, and
the season has just opened. The crop has
been unusually large. The farmers are
hauling the pease to the factory in large
quantities every day, getting Ia cents a
pound for them after they have been
hulIed. The hulling is done by machinery,
in a process similar to threshing wheat.
After the pease are hulled they are put in
machines and cleaned and sorted. The eX'
ira large ones are the cheaper grades,
while the smaller ones bring the best
prices. The local dealers say these pease
are equal if not better than the French
product. A number of women and girls are
employed putting the pease in cans after
they have gone through the preparing pro-
cess The pease are treated in some way
by the canning companies so that they will
keep" a. year or more.
At the ]. T. Polk Canning Company, in
Greenwood, hundreds of people are en-
ployed canning and picking the pease,
which are brought to the factory on the
vines like loads of hay. The company is
employing two forces of people, one work
ing at night, the other in the day time

TRAVELLING STATE LIBRARY.
w. e. Henry Thinks of Some Plans
for Use of Indiana's Volumes.

w. e. Henry, state librarian, has received
a number of inquiries lately from people
over the State, who want to know why
they cannot be permitted to take books
from the library The present library law
does not allow books to be taken from the
building. Mr.. Henry believes the next Leg
islature should enact measure providing
for the general use Of the books by people
outside OF the city and anywhere in the
State.
II have one or two schemes in view"
said Mr.. Henry, "by which the people at
large could enjoy the library. But Of
ton except by legislation. l think the plan
known as the travelling library would
work in this State Oftentimes there are
literary clubs OF responsible people in the
out towns who desire to make a special
study Of some particular subject. To these
people the travelling library would be
great bene1t. For five hundred dollars the
State could lay In a library OF perhaps five
hundred volumes, embracing historical
works economies, etc. TT 3 library could
be sent from one town TO another at small
expense. The people who use the books
could afford to pay s. small sum and thus
the institution would be self-supporting
Then l have thought of another plan which
is employed successfully in the State of
Ohio. That is to permit responsible people
In any part Of the State to take such books
veniently in the event of their loss. OF
course there would be some risk In this,
but it is usually only responsible people
who become interested in the class OF liter
l think could be made TO work with the
proper legislation"

WOMAN HANGS HERSELF
MRS. IDA NJ. COTTOM'S SUICIDE AT
CENTRAL INSANE HOSPITAL.
She Was q Violent Patient Brought
from VigO County a Few
Days Ago.

Mrs. Ida NJ Cotton, aged thirty-six years,
an inmate of the Central Hospital for the
Insane, committed suicide shortly after 8
o'clock last night by hanging herself in
her room. She had been an inmate of the
institution but a few days.
Mrs. Cotton was brought to the hospital
from Vigo county June q suffering from
acute melancholia. Her people live in the
country a few miles from Terre Haute.
TfSe hospital physicians learned from the
history of her case that she had been
afflicted with both suicidal and homicidal
mania, and for this reason a close watch
was kept on her almost constantly. At
times she became very violent.
A few minutes after oclock last night
the night watch passed the room occupied
by Mrs. Cotton and noticed that the patient
was making great deal of noise. Just
at this moment the attendant was called
to another part of the ward, and when
she returned fifteen minutes later, found
Mrs. Cotton hanging from the window
screens, her feet touching the floor. The
unfortunate woman had taken the sheet
from her bed, and fastening it to the top
of the screen had arranged a loop about
her neck. She had choked to death. The
body was yet warm. Superintendent Eden
harter at once notified the coroner.
Last Sunday night Mrs. Cotton made an
attempt at suicide by hanging, but was
discovered in time to save her life. The
physicians say she made attack two
nights ago on the young woman attendant
of her ward. She secreted a hair brush
about her clothing while in the bathroom
and later called the attendant into her
apartment. When the young woman en-
tered, the patient fell upon her with great
fury. The attendant cried for help and
some of the other employees Of the ward
Edenharter says this is the first occurrence
of this character that has happened in the
Woman's department of the hospital for a
