Truthless Tales OF Dowie Craze.

Some weeks ago quite stir was &C.
casioned by the publication in various
papers in this section, some in this
county, that a number of farmers near
Westville had gone daft" on Dowie-
ism and would sell Off their farms and
join the society in Chicago. One fairy
tale was published about farmer
writing to Dowie regarding the eating
of pork, the reply being that he should
sell his swine and send the money to
the Chicago church. At the time con-
siderable doubt was expressed as to
the truth of the reports and now The
Indicator comes forward with this in
formations: "We will say that after
a thorough investigation of the reports
we have been unable to find single
farmer from WeStvIlle who is willing
to cast his lot with that of Dowie. - :

CORN SMUT AND DISEASE
Purdue University Agricultural Expert
ment Station.

Newspaper Bulletin No. 49, Dec. 2. 1901.
Probably never in the history of
corn growing in this state, has there
been more smut present on the fodder
than can be found this fall The
conditions for development were very
favorable and some fields are very bad
ly infected. The presence of much
smut on fodder is popularity believed
to cause disease among stock. A
number of communications have been
received during the past two weeks,
reciting losses due to this cause. This
belief is very old, as one of the earliest
writer's upon smut in 1854 felt it to be
necessary to make experiments to
demonstrate the truth or fallacy of
the belief at that time.
If we take the results of all avail
able experiments from that date to
the present time, as basis for con-
cluSiOn rather the statements of those
who have lost animals thought to be
due to this cause, the real danger to
stock from eating corn smut is very
small. In the experiments of feeding
smut, the quantity has often been

made many times greater than it
would be possible tor an animal to
obtain in the ordinary grazing on
stalks. The periods have been from
few days to two or three weeks. With
few exceptions, the reSultS'haye been
negative. At this station extracts
were made and given by mouth and
by hyodermic injection. The dose
obtained in this manner represented
very large quantities of crude smut
Only slight illness followed the adj
mlnistration by mouth and serious re-
suits occurred only after the admins
stration of large quantities by injec-
ton.
The conclusion cannot be other
than that only under rare circum-
stances could an animal get rare
dose or that death might come to a
specially susceptible individual. The
loss due to this cause must be very
small. A. w. BITING,

Sundays Gospel Meetings.

The services of Sunday we're well
attended and the intense interest
which has been felt in all the services
was Characteristic of these meetings.
At the union mass meeting, Mr..
1Ostrom gave a most eloquent sermon
from the text, "And We are not your
own" He said that the remark was
often made that man should take
God with him into business but this
is true only when God is recognized
as the superior-as the proprietor and
not the partner. Man is incapable of
self defense. He may laugh at re-
ligion and the Bible but when the cru
cial hour comes at the approach to
death he loses his idea of self sufficiency
and calls upon God to defend him.
Again, man is destructive creature.
He is the product of the untiring eff
fort of all the men of the past. All
reformers, all prophets, all Instructors
have given him the best of their lives,
and these influences for good focus
rpOn each man to inspire him to make
the most of his life. The trip from
the cradle to the grave is perilous
journey and man should accept Christ
as a leader. Man cannot even pro-
duce his necessities, without the
agents God gives him. He is a coarse,
unrefned creature until Gods power
transforms him. Rev. Ostrom con-
cluded his sermon with an appeal for
all to YIELD themselves to God for We
rightfully belong to him, and are truly
not our own.
The address given in the evening by
Rev. o. S. Thornberry was full of
good thoughts. The spractical ques-
ton, land what will you do with
Jesus?" was used as his subject, he
emphasizing the fact that Jesus had
done so much for us, that surely we
ought to gladly give our lives to Him.

The Last Opportunity.

Our great offer of the Mckinley
book expires the last day of this
month and we have but a small sup
ply left from our final shipment.
This book will be for sale by agents
for long time at the regular price of
$3.50, but it will not again be possible
to3uy it in this county on such terms
as we are offering it. 1T is an exceed
ingly popular book and one of high
permanent value. 1t ought to be in
every home to instruct the old, in
spire the young and be constantly use
full as work of reference in period
of great historical importance. The
full copy of McKinley's memorable
Buffalo speech is alone worth the full
price of the book, for it will be con-
stantly referred 10 in the coming polit-
ical campaigns and it is gem of
oratory, i'm the class with Lincoln S
Gettysburg speech and Webster reply
to Hayne, a model for all public speak
erS as well as a compendium of his
torical facts and illustrations.
The volume, which is handsomely
bound, contains a complete account
of the late Presidents life and public
career written by a literary master,
Murat Halstead: it contains extracts
from McKinley's speeches and adj
dresses and there are many full-page
portraits i'm half-tone of notable
Americans of the period. The MUIR
der, death and burial are all deScrib-
ed. No parent who loves his children,
no citizen who loves his country, can
afford to be, without this story of the
life and times Of the man who shaped
the deStinieS of the nation during the
first years of the accepted policy of
national progress to the highest and
most influential place among the great
powers of the world. We sell it to
our subscribers only, and our terms as
stated i'm the advertisement elsewhere
in this issue must satisfy them that
we are doing it for their benefit and
not our. We cannot sell book or

lest Man in the World.
Phoenix, AriZ., Nov. 9.-The Aemr-
lean Mining News contains the follow
ing article about the great United
Verde mine, the property of Senator
w. A. Clark which If correct. would
indicate that it is probably the rich
est mine and he is the richest man in
the world:
1T has only lately come TO light
that the average value of the ore
taken from the United Verde is $40
per ton in all values-gold, silver and
copper. This mine so far as has been
developed. including explorations and
diamond drilling below the present
working shows an immense ore chin
ney, 400x60O feet across, that has been
explored by shafts. tunnels and drill
holes to a depth of 400 feet.
Just how lar 1t will be impossible 20
work this mine down before the heat
limit is reached is hard TO say, but a
reasonable estimate would be 5000
feet. An estimate by one OF the best
mining engineers in this country
shows that the mine to the depth OF
I 400 feet contains 32GOOO.00O cubic
feet of ore. and estimating eleven cubic
feet to the ton there is practically 23.-
0OO. 900 tons in sight.
III we carry these figures a little
further on the present four values of
