LOTTERY CLOSED
NO MORE LAND TO BE DRAWN
FROM WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Some odd Pieces Will be Left Over for En-
tru In the Regular Wdu in the Indi.
ana Domain of Uncle Sam.

Ell RENO, Ok, Aug. 2.-The
drawing of winning numbers in
the United States land lottery
was concluded yesterday, $4,000
envelopes having been taken
from the wheels, $500 for each
land district. The crowd around
the platform on which the draw
ing took place was much smaller
than on previous days. Begin
ming Aug. 6, 125 names in earh
district will be called daily for
sixty days for the filing of home
stead entries. The estimate is
made by a government official
that in each land district / 900 of
the $500 numbers will not be
taken in the sixty days, because
of homesteaders who will be dis
qualified, or who will leave the
country, believing their claims
to be worthless. This will leave
only 3, 500 persons who will make
entry in their respective dis
tricts.
Two thousand claims will be
left for the wagon emigrants,
and others who have been in the
country for months and failed to
draw a number. At the end of
the sixty days these persons cal

and file, or if they settle upon a
homestead in advance of any
other person, they can remain
thereon three months before fl
ing their entry.
Homestead spectators, who
registered for the sole purpose
of sellingtheir prizes, if winners,
are already seeking to sell re-
linquishments of their claims.

Numerically considered, the ''pro-
gressive" democratic party in Ohio is
unimpOrtant. At the outside not
more than thirty persons took part in
its convention, which was held yester-
day at Columbus The meeting place
was the bedroom of the chairman,
George A. Groot. There were more
newspaper men present than there
were delegates. A few delegates, be-
ing unable to find the meeting place,
went to the races, and they no
doubt had more fun than did those
who listened to the speech, four or five
thousand words long, of Chairman
Groot. 1t is encouraging to have this
emphasis of the complete detachment
of the democratic party of Ohio from
Bryan and Bryanism. For what is
true in that state will probably be
found to be true in other states, in
Guiding Indiana. The pcpulistic farce
is played out.-Indianapolis News.

SHOOTING FOR RAIN
Bombardins the Nebraskan Heavens
With Heavy Mortars.

LINCOLN. Neb. Aug, -Four
miles northeast of this city last
night twenty-four mortars, post
ed on a twentyacre tract, were
fired at minute intervals in the
hope that the result will be a
downfall of rain. W. F. Wright,
former deputy state food COM
missioner, is the promoter and
manager of the enterprise.
Wright is the originator of the
especial vibration theory of
rain making, and for several
years has unsuccessfully es-
poused a legislative appropria-
ton to put his theory into prac-
tice.
He says he will continue the
bombardment until ram comes,
or until he has exhausted his
supply ofseveral hundred pounds
of gunpowder.

HINsEY INDICTED
Endowment Rank Magnates Held for Per-
jury in Reports.

CHICAGO, Aug, John A.
HiDsey and Henry B. Stolte, for
mer president and secretary, re
spectively, of the endowment
rank. Knights of Pythias, were
indicted by the grand jury yes
terday on charges of perjury.
Two indictments were returned
against each defendant.
The perjury is alleged to con-
sist in statements made in annual
reports of the supreme lodge,
Knights of Pythias, which the
defendants, as officers of the
lodge. made to the superintend-
ent of the insurance department
of the state of Illinois relative to
the financial condition of the
lodge. These statements are in
regard to the amount of deposits
in bank, and the value of certain
securities. The alleged falsifi-
cation was, in general, an at
tempt to initiate the assets of the
lodge in order to make a better
showing before the state insur-
ance officers.

Replying to the statement Of a
ocal contemporary that the recently
proclaimed views of the indianapolis
Sentinel in support of the new depart
ure of the Ohio democracy has not
met with the approval of the demo-
cratic press of Indiana, the Kokomo
Dispatch says:
The Sentinel has tie almost univer-
sal Endorsement of the democratic
press of the state in its recent utter
ance on party principles and policies.
The exceptions, SO far as the observa-
lions of The Dispatch extend, do not
number half a dozen papers.

note certainly struck popular chord

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug, q
The Commercial Gazette says
today:
The Amalgamated executive
board last evening received by
telegraph a fiat refusal from j..
Pierpont Morgan to reopen the
wage conference where it was
broken off at the Hotel Lincoln
nearly three weeks ago. The
powers of the steel combine in
sist in this communication that
the only basis of settlement will
be on the terms which the finan-
cial hacker of the combine, Pres
ldent G.. M. Schwab, and Chair
man Ebert H. Gary laid down
at the meeting with the Amalga-
mated executive in New York
last Saturday. A member of the
executive board of the associa-
ton last night said:
These terms are denominated
by those who have the best in
terests of the organization of the
steel workers at heart as the
most unfair, the most unjust,
ever proposed to any body of
workingmen by set of employ
ers or a corporation. The terms
are such that the executive board
of the Amalgamated association
cannot accept, and has already
gone on record to that effect. q
Tomorrow morning the an
swer of Morgan is expected by
mail. There is scarcely a frag-
ment of hope that the Amalga-
mated association will back down
from its we'll known position.
The leaders of the workers will,
in reply, outliIe their plans to
tie steel corporation for con-
tinuation of the great struggle.
They will include the stopping
of every wheel possible i'll the
works of the combine and the ex-
tension of the strike in all posi-
BILE directions by the Amalga-
mated association.
To-day may develope much,
but if the combine cannot be
made to waver through the in
fiuence that will be brought to
bear. the great conflict will prob
ably be fought to the bitter end. .

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. AT a

the resignation of Charles S.
Hernly, chairman of the commit

Goodrich, of Winchester, was
named as his successor. Mr..
Hernly's business affairs at New

Swallowed. The men, who are
said to be residents of Elkhart
county, were taken completely
by surprise and were hustled to
Elkhart, where the booty was be-
lieved to have been secreted.
The bank directors from fear of
a panic, did not make the loss
publicly known. Az Elkhart the
robbers led the way to the out
skirts of the city, where they had
buried their plumber. The mon
ely was recovered and every dol
lar was accounted for. The de-
tectives and robbers left later for
Akron. The assistance of the
local authorities was not asked
for.

That farming is no longer the druid
gerry of former years, but vocation
which affords satisfaction and pleasure
to those engaged in it, is illustrated
by a clipping from the Kalamazoo
Telegraph; Farming is pretty good
business for those who understand it.
Never before has it been half so good.
1t belongs to the region of science and
machinery, Of skill and foresight. It's
opportunities and rewards are rich
The old, isolated, narrow, hard. unso-
cial farming life is passing away.
Luxury and social enjoyment belong
to tie trolleyized country. 1t is east
er to get the city in the country than
it is to get the country in the city.
Farming is a liberal and a learned
profession: and the man who has the
brains for it and little capital is a
lucky man.

fortune and founding fortune. Few
men chance upon fortunes. The fort
unes we know about are not found but
founded on a certain substantial basis
The nature of that basis of fortune is
well set forth in the advice given by a
successful merchant 10 a young man
who asked, rWhat is the first requisite
to making a fortune?" vThe first re-
quisite to making a fortune" said the
rich man, "is health" vThe idea that
fortunes are made suggests toll and in
dustry and skill. Nothing can be made
without these. But weak man cannot
toll, and industry is incompatible with
ill-health. If you want to be strong
remember that all physical strength
comes from food and that the amount of
strength extracted from food depends
upon the ability of the stomach to di-
gest food and assi1nilate its nutrition.
The man who takes care of his digestion
is, in general, taking care of every other
organ of his body
SUCCESS AND THE STOMACH.
The merchant who gave the above
opinion may not have been much of a
physician but he was a good deal of
philosopher. He had seen men with
success almost within the grasp, break
down because of ~'stomach trouble
He had theorized the saying that the
uweakest must go to the wall E" into the
saying that uthe man with the weakest
stomach must go to the WALL" because
no man is stronger than his stomach
The man who will learn this lesson of
success has taken a great stride to his
goal. Health is the first prerequisite of
success and health in general means
sound stomach and good digestion.
Look at the logic of the matter. Food
is mans life, his strength. Physical
life is sustained by food. But the fact
that thing can be eaten doesn't make
it food. Many physician practising in
the tenements of city says of failing
men or women, cWhat they need IS
noa,1sA1ng food" Shipwrecked men
eat scraps of leather, the bark of trees,
anything to satisfy hunger. But this is
not food in any true sense because it
contains no nutrition. All food must
be considered in relation to its nutritive

HAMMOND'S BIG FIRE
Manufacturing Plant Injured to the Ex.
tent of $4,000.

HAMMOND, Ind, Aug. 3.-Sev-
enty-fve thousand dollars worth
of property was destroyed last
evening by one of the most disas
trous fires that Hammond has
ever known. At 1870 o'clock
flames were discovered in the
building of the Simplex Railway
Appliance company. They spread
with such rapidity that in a few
moments the entire building was
a mass of flames.
The flames then spread to the
building occupied by the Western
Rawhide and Betting company
and to the building of the Ham
mond Buggy company. All three
were soon a total loss The Ham
mond fire department was soon
helpless, and aid was asked for
from South Chicago and Cole
hour, but all that could be done
was TO keep the flames from cross
ing the Grand Calumet river,
thereby saving that portion of
the city.
The SimplexRailwayAppiiance
was one of the city's main indus
tries, and had a large number of
orders on hand. 1t employed
nearly 400 men, making day and
night shifts. The other two con-
Germs were also doing a flourish
ing business. The fire was caus-
ed by the explosion of oil.

Is advertising properly chargeable
to the expense account, or is it an in
vestment? Most assuredly it is an
investment. At such time as it be.
comes an expense there is something
wrong, the copy is not good. the me-
dunn is not good, or both are at fault.
Judicious advertising brings results.
You put your money in the news
paper today, and tomorrow there
is demand for the article advertised.
You increase your trade. You make
a name for yourself. Advertising
has an accumulative benefit That
advertising is only an investment is
proven by the way appropriations fol

value When the stomach and the al
lied organs of digestion and nutrition
are diseased the nutrition contained in
food is inlperfectly extracted and the
body fails of nutrition adequate to its
needs. The shipwrecked sailor living
upon scraps in which there is no nutri-

abundant nutritious food but whose
stomach with its allied organs is dis

the food eaten the nutrition which is
