DrumrnOud Makes HIT.

A dispatch to the Indianapolis Newt
from Hartford City has the following
to say of our fellow townsmsn:
Charles p. Drummond, Of Plymouth
who is the democratic nominee for At
torney- General, made q hit by
his speech. Speaking of the dem
ocrats of Marshall county, he said
there were in that county "Old oakeu
democrats, iron. bound democrats and
moss covered democrats, and they are
all proud Oft" The convention nearly
went wild on the parsphrase. Mr.
Drummond had some trouble at fret
When he arose to speak the Hartford
City band broke out in glad refrain
He tried 1t again, and once more the
band played. But finally he was able
to proceed and made the speech Of the
day.

Beet Growing Requires study.

The following is from an article or
the Beet Sugar Industry in America II
the Hawaiian Planters Monthly:
"While every one must applaud The
efforts to establish the beet sugar iu
dustry in the United States, it Is wist
not to make such haste as will result Il
encouragement and loss 10 those who
are not able 10 bear it. Several years
must elspse before each factory can be
expected to bring all parts of the CO.
operative enterprise into successful
working order. Quite naturally the en-
tire crop of beet sugar for the past year
has fallen much below the expect atoms
of its sanguine friends, not through any
fault of its promoters, but from lack of
it's experience and adverse climatic
conditions, which no foresight could
prevent.
"The beet growers of the United
States many of whom start in without
ever having seen beet field. will have
to be educated to this new business, as
the successful cane planters have been
educated by years of hard experience,
for beets can never be raised by
broad cast sowing of the seed, then
leaving dame nature TO do the rest, as
ID done with grain, but they Will soon
have to learn how best to prepare the
soil, how TO secure the best seed, and
then how to care for and thin the plant

New York city is putting to
shame all the efforts of the civilized
world in the matter of helping the
famine sufferers of India, and is do
ing a great deal more for them in
proportion to her population than is
Great Britain herself. SO far, the
American metropolis has contributed
SI52, 900 to the relief fund. 1t takes
only cents day to support per
son in India, so that New York has
furnished enough to feed 100000
starving natives for a day.

The attitude of dignified silence
which our two ex-presidents pro-
pose to maintain during the cam
paign commends their sense of pro-
priety. The country is sufficiently
informed as to their personal views
on all important political questions,
and it is not essential that either of
them should enter publicly into the
canvass as partisan. 1t sometimes
happens that the silence of one who
has been conspicuous in leadership
is interpreted to mean Indifference
to the result, or hostility to his party
and he is advertised as giving aid
and comfort to the enemy. This is
manifestly unfair, but may be done
for the purpose of 'ssmoking him
out" Gen. Harrison has already
been obliged, in self defense, to cor
rect the misstatement of an alleged
interview but, beyond setting him.

should not be expected to discuss

Profits i'm Growing Timber.

Twenty years ago southern rail-
road company planted 200 acres which
it owned to catslps trees, says an ex
change. The cost of the land, planting
and caring for the trees up to the pres
ent time is $4,000. The timber upon
this land IL now valued at $2,432 900
making profit of $2,40o,OO0 on tract
two miles long and one mile wide or 49,.
600 an acre in twenty five years. This
ought TO be a sufficient incentive to in.
duce men who are situated for it to 60

Judge LaCombe's ruling ir
denying the motion for the
eXtradition of Nicely until additional
evidence was offered tending to
show the guilt of the accused
should give no occasion for fear that
justice may fail. AT the most, the
ruling can only result in postpone
ment of the order of extradition. Ii
is directly in line with the law of
une 6, 1900, which provides that,
as a safeguard against extradition
on unsubstantial charges, there shall
be an inquiry by the federal court
into the evidence against the accused
to determine whether that evidence
reveals probable cause for the be
lief on which the accusation rests.
The court holds that this means
probable cause as tested by the prac-
tice of the federal courts and that it
must be shown by evidence that
would be competent on a trial in
those courts.
As to the character of this evil
dence, the court says: No mere
statement of an official that he has
caused an examination into the facts
to be made with such and such re-
suit is of any probable weight, nor
is hearsay competent, nor unverified
copies of documents. There must
be laid before the court sworn state
ments as to facts from which the
Judge may reach a conclusion. ;"
There is nothing unreasonable in
this, and nothing tending to indicate
that the court has taintest intention
of impeding justice by technical rul-
ings. 1t is one of the essentials of
justice that mere hearsay and opin-
ion evidence should not avail i'm a
criminal proceeding involving the
liberty of the accused. The court
in this instance has merely held that
he cannot authorize the extradition
of Nicely without show ing of real
evidence, tending to prove substan.
tial ground for the charge against
him. He refuses to grant the order
of extradItion on hearsay evidence
and the statements of conclusion of
other officials. Any other ruling
would be in direct opposition to the
fundamental principles of justice laid
down in our American system of
law. There is no doubt that Nicely
will be extradited when evidence is
presented in proper form.-India-

TO INDEPENDENT SUBSCRIBERS.
The Marshall County Independ-
ent, as is Its custom during the
months of July and August, is send
ing out statements to subscribers
showing their Indebtedness. These
statements are sent that subscribers
may know their arearages and, if il
is possible, we hope that they will
remit shortly, as this is the dull sea-
son for newspapers. 1t takes
money to publish a paper of the
high grade of the Independent and
it is simply because funds are needed
that these reminders are sent out
We hope that all who receive these
statements, will receive them in the
spirit that the publisher intends. If
you can remit at this time, we will
be especially thankful.

solemnly placed behind the sitter. The
operator invites everyone to look at the
white sheet of paper, and presses the
rubber bulg of the shutter. A colored
image appears instantaneously on the
paper. The lungs are bright red col
or, the heart is darker, the veins are
blue, the stomach and intestines are of
a greenlsh tut; other parts of the body
paint themselves in black on the white
paper. This sudden apparition general
ly startles the sitter; but few re-
marks on the healthy looks of his lungs
will place him at his ease. The photo
graph is taken out of the apparatus
and rassed among the spectators.
Two distinct parts of the apparatus
cooperate in the production of that
N-ray trick; namely, the sheet of pa
per and the objective tube.
Before the experiment, the sheet Of
paper is treated as follows: 1t is pinned
over any anatomical drawing showing
the position of the principal thoracic
and abdominal organs. If the sheet of
paper is not too thick. the drawing can
be seen through it. The space occupied
by the lungs is then painted with a
diluted solution of sulfocyanide of po-
tassium. A more concentrated solution
of the same salt is used to fill the space
outlined by the heart and principal ar
terles. A few big veins are painted
with solution of ferrocyanide of po-
tasslum. A more diluted solution of
the same salt is used for the stomach
and few intestinal folds. The rest
of the body is uniformly painted with
a concentrated solution of tannin. The
whole operation need not take more

But who wants to cross the ocean in

get over their seasickness about the

an ocean voyage. If their ship makes
port at that time they are cheated out
of the best that they have paid for.
AS for reasonably healthy humanity,

peace for week at least, with absolute
freedom from care, responsibility, tele.
grams, bills, district messengers, tele.

upon the deck chair with delight, the
main saloon as haven of rest, the

The law of variation operates In ev-
erything. In no one particular respect
do individuals resemble absolutely
their parents. Even in the time Of
Towering there is a variation. Some
indiyidualssiwill bloom earlier and
some later than others. This has been
more particularly marked in the more
straightforward of our ornamental
trees. In the Koelreuteria this par
ticula: variation is striking. In 100
trees, all raised from the same pack
age Of seeds, there will be as much as
three weeks of difference in the time
of Towering. Possibly the sexual vari-
alton may have something to do with
the difference in the Towering time, as
certainly it has to do with the showi-
ness of the blossoms. AS 1t Is the case
with so many American and Japanese
trees, there is great tendency to a
division of sexes. Some Koelreuteria
trees are wholly barren. while others
are abundantly productive. The bar
rem trees have rather larger flowers,
and are more snowy in every respect,
and. SO far as our somewhat limited
experience In this respect goes, are
among the first to flower. This little
difference in this respect has not been
noticed by cultivators rs it deserves to
be.-Meehan's Monthly.
