A Lesson in Figures.

The complete returns of the Yer
mont election have lesson for bolt
ing as well as for regular republicans.
The total vote last Tuesday was Co.
$50. against a total OF "a. 337 for gov
ernOr in 1898, of 56,2 for president
in 1900, and of 1928 for president in
1896. In other words, the vote in
Vermont last Tuesday was the largest
ever cast in the state.
Mccullough, the regular republican
candidate for governor, received 81
7ss votes; Clement, the boiling re-
publican republican candidate, 2S,l77:
the democratic candidate, 1880; and
the prohibition candidate, 2,525. The
vote for the two republican candidates
is SO, 1865, larger by 1900 than Nc
Kinley's vote in 1900, and larger by
5000 than his vote in 1896, while the
democratic vote is smaller by. 5000
than Bryan's vote in 1900.
The figures show that people will
vote when there is a real contest, and
that in order to have good government
by the people, parties should be al
most equally divided.

He was 60 years old. was born at

ways of making living. In 1866 he
became associate editor of the ''Little
Corporal. " a children'S paper publish
ed at Chicago.
He afterwards edited a Sunday

A Gallant fellow.Soldier.

Joseph Coar. of Bourbon, was in
town today and, of course, gave the
colonel of his old regiment-the 18th
Indiana Infantry-a pleasant call.
Mr.. Coar was as gallant and as brave
a soldier as aided the union cause in
its effort to save the government from
destruction, and at the fierce struggle
of Missionary Ridge he was seriously
wounded in the left leg below the
knee, the bullet splitting the main
bone. He was laid up for time,
but, despite bis severe wound, he re-
turned to his regiment just at the be-
ginning of the Atlanta campaign aud
went through the remainder of the
war, including the "March to the
Sea. - At the late republican conven-
tion.in Marshall county he was nomi-
mated for commissioner for the mid
die district. and knowing him as well
as we do, we can truthfully say to the
people of Marshall county that more
reliable gentleman, upright, honest
and faithful, cannot readily be found
anywhere Besides he is well quail
fed for The position and will serve the
people of the county to the best of his
ability Should he be elected. The old
veterans of Marshall county should
give him their hearty and earnest
Times.

Coal Strike Nearing End.

The present active demand for the
shares of the railways which form the
coal trust indicates that the pur-
chasers have information that convin-
ceS them that settlement of the an
thrrcite miners strike is near at
hand.
For many weeks, because Of the
strike, these railways have had little
traffic. Their earnings have been SO
reduced that SO long as the strike con-
tinued their shares could not be a
profitable investment.
But with settlement of the strike
these securities would again become
desirable. The present demand for
them, and the sources of that demand
indicate clearly that men who make
a business of speculative investment
are convinced that the strike will
speedily end.

Speaker Henderson declared at the
Iowa republican conference Thursday
that it was idle to talk about any
changes in the tariff during the COM
ing short session of congress. He
thought that it might be possible to
get bill through the house, but it
was doubtful if anything could be got
through the senate. Senator Dolliver,
who was present. agreed with him,
saying that any measure that did not
have unanimous consent could hardly
be touched in the senate in less than
three months.

What Goshen Says of Elkhart.

A gray horse was found on the
streets of Elkhart. The animal was
peacefully grazing on the grass that
grows in the streets. when the curios-
ity of native was attracted and the
equine was locktd up. For time it
was thought the horse might be a
stolen one, but later it developed that
it belonged to farmer residing in the
Sixth ward. A good deal of excite
ment was manifested for time, but
matters quoted down when it was
learned that the animal was the prop
erty of a native. Few strange horses
are seen in Elkhart.-GoShen Demo-

Breeding New Kinds of Corn.

People who are laboring under the
impression that corn is corn and can
not be improved by scientific methods
will have such impressions shattered
if they read an article in the Septem-
Der issue of the Worlds Work entitl-
ed. Breeding New Kinds of Corn"
In recent years the agricultural
chemist has done much for the farm
er, but the work that has been begun
in the development ot new breeds of
corn is referred to as recreating. Two
professors in Urbana Agricultural Col
lege are giving their attention ey-
clusively to corn breeding, with the
following results:
"They have compelled corn to grow
for man or beast or manufacture. They
have told the keroel to produce more
protein, the great tissue builder of the
race. or they have told it to produce
less. They have told it to increase its
quantity of starch, and to decrease it.
They have told it to produce large
and still larger supply of oil, making
it commercially far more valuable;
and they have told it to cnrtail its
supply of oil and give some other ee-
ment more room. They have told the
ear to change its form, so that it
should be longer or shorter or leaner
or plunper. They have told the corn
plant to increase in height and to de-
crease In height, and they have even
told it that it must weave its leaves
on wider and larger pattern. All
these things and more have they COM
manded of corn and in all of them it
1t has obeyed."
Doubtless many who have cultivat-
ed corn all their lives will regard the
foregoing declarations of what the ag-
ricultural chemists have" accomplished
as the rant of visionary, but the de-
tails of what they have done fully
justify not only the statement but the
peculiar manner in which it is put.
Corn is the biggest thing in the ag-
riculture OF several states, including
Indiana. The uses of no one product
of the farm have been so increased
during the past twenty-five years.
Immense quantities of corn are now
manufacturedin into syrups and starches.
There are five grades Of syrups made

and saying that he would make no ad-
dress.
He then passed on to Stockbridge,
where. too, the people were ready to
make his entry into the city a notable
occasion. Speaking from his carriage
his right eye almost closed and getting
very black, he said that for the same
reasons given at LenoX he would be
unable to deliver an address. The
President said that when he saw the
car coming at such terrific speed he
felt that all in the carriage would
surely be killed.
The departure of the President from
Stockbridge was pathetic. There were
no cheers, no waving of flags or hand
herchiefs, only a word here and there
to break the death-like silence. Brief
stops were made at Great Darlington.

The general aggregate of the cereal
