The Economy Of Canned Meats.

Americans gradually learning some-
thing which Europeans have known for years
that canned meats are more economical and
quite as palatable as fresh meats.
The economy of canned meats is due to the
fact that when they reach the consumer they
are all ready for the table. That means a saw
ing IN fuel, time. and labor-a trinity of advant-
ages which appeals to every housewife.
The quality OF canned meats is the natural
outcome of the care taken in their preparation.
BY care is meant good meat, well selected,
cleanly handled. properly cooked, and packedin
attractive packages.
The extent Of the trade in canned meats is
immense. The Cudahy Packing Co, for ex-
ample. makes no less than forty different
sliced beef veal loaf. potted chicken, potted
turkey, pork and beans, and Vienna sausage.

consented TO become a candidate for the
Republican nomination, subject 70 the ac-
ton of the district convention. Having
secured Mr.. Spencer's consent, the Repub-
leans of the Fourth feel that the chances
for regaining control of the district are
better than at any time since Jim" Wat
son ran away with the late William 5.
Holman.
Mr.. Spencer is not only well known over
the greater part of the district, but he is
liked and respected as well. Among the
farmers of Dearborn, Ohio, and SwitZer-
land counties, where the Democratic vote
appears with great volume election time,
Mr.. Spencer is particularly strong. The
confidence felt in Spencer by Republicans
of the Fourth is epitomiZed in the sentence
used by one of them yesterday, He is very
popular and the man of all men TO put F..
Nj. Griffith out of the race" That Mr..
Spencer will be selected by the convention
soon TO meet is regarded as a fOregone con-
clusiOn, since he is regarded as far and
away the strongest candidate that can be
put forward. Nathan Powell, of Madison,
who made such a strong race against
Griffith two years ago, has been asked to
run again, but declined on account of bust
ness matters requiring his attention.
Powell was beaten about LOO votes in the
district and IL is believed that Spencer not
only can destroy that majority. but can
put the figures on the other side of the
sheet.

GAS COMPANY SUITS.
Action Requested Upon the Part of
the Appellate Court.

The Consumers Gas Trust Company, of
this city, is party to two suits in the APP
pellate Court. In the case of the Consum-
ers' Gas Trust Company against the Crys-
tai Window Glass Company, of Anderson,
Joel NJ. Jones and Anna Jones, it is al
legged that the company leased from the
Joneses tract of ground in Madison coun-
ty to be used in sinking oil and gas wells.
In addition to paying the rent stipulated
in the contract the gas company sets out
that it furnished gas free to the family
and has complied with the agreement in
every way. But the Joneses, it alleges,
have entered into a conspiracy with the
window glass company to dispossess the
gas company so that the window glass
company may itself use the forty acres of
land for gas and oil wells. The gas COM
pany asks the Appellate Court to issue a
temporary injunction against the window
glass company and the other defendants.

Simmons was sheriff of Howard county-in
fact, he was sheriff at the time the father
of Buck Stanley was sheriff of Cass county.
Simmons is sometimes alluded to as Buck
and in explaining how he came by this
sobriquet he said he was named after
Buck Stanley The latter acquired con-
siderable reputation a few years ago by
capturing Bill and Amer Green in Texas
and bringing them back to Indiana. Amer
Green was lynched a Delphi some time
after they were brought back. After STAN
ley got so much notoriety, the clerk of
Howard county began to facetiously allude
to Sheriff Simmons as Buck" and the
name has chung to him. While in town
Chairman Simmons and Mr.. Shirley called
at state committee headquarters and asked
that they be assigned a speaker for the
opening of the campaign at Kokomo on

Fairbanks if we could get him." Chairman
Simmons remarked. He was informed that
Senator Fairbanks would probably speak at
Anderson on that day. Mr.. Simmons asked
if they could have Charles L. Jewett and
was informed that Mr.. Jewett could prob
ably be secured.
Mr.. Simmons says that Kokomo is getting
ready to give President Roosevelt a hearty
reception regardless of politics on the oc-
casion of his visit there. The President
will stop at kokomo about p. m. on Sept.
%. His presence there is to be nonpart-
san event. The Democratic mayor of Ko-
kOmo is taking an active interest in the
matter and has called a meeting of citizens
to arrange to entertain the President.

der command of Captains Kelleher and Car
ney, respectively, went to the park at

led by his mother and little brothers, who
brought heaping baskets of eatables The
members of the Mothers Club also had
refreshments on sale and were patronized
generously by the boys Shortly after camp
had been pitched the boys were eager for
the first trial of skill Baseballs were
brought out and in a short time the woods
resounded with yells from boys who only
wanted a chance to get their hands on the
ball. After a great deal of hard work on
the part of the Rev. James McCool. chap
lain of the brigade, two teams were
lected. team was first picked from the
members of Company B, which has among
Its membership boys not over twelve years
old. Friends Of the players blocked the
field, and the little chaps had to appeal
often TO the two big policemen to keep the
crowd back. When five innings had been
played several of the players learned that
lemonade and soda were to be had and
the boys quit playing. After a supply of
o
both old and young, again took up the ath-
leuc programme This continued until
o'clock last night, when about one hundred
little chaps went tearing through the
woods after small white pig. The porker
afforded much fun and excitement, and
some of the older people joined in the race.
The pig was finally stopped in a corner of
the grove, where he turned on his pursuers
in a defiant manner. The boys were not
TO be bluffed, and in short time a rope
had been placed over Mr.. Hogs neck and he
was brought back TO the middle of the field
amid loud rejoicing. Last night the festiv-
tiles were continued, as the fathers of many
OF the boys were in attendance.

DELAY IN THE DEDICATION.
The Ceremony at Shiloh Cannot Take
Place Until November.

Yesterday morning Captain Ensley re-
ceived a letter from Shiloh TO the effect
that the water in the Tennessee river is
now so low that the barge upon which are
the pedestals of the monuments cannot as
cend the river until there shall be heavy
rains. For thirty days the river has been
falling three-tenths OF an inch a day. This
means a fall of nine inches, which makes
the water too shOal in places for the
heavily laden barge. This makes the dedi-
cation OF the monuments improbable for an
indefinite period. Captain Ensley expressed
great disappointment. because all the plans
of the commission had been made. If the
barges had been able 10 get up the monu-
nlents would have been ready by the last
week IN September. He could not say when
the dedication would take place. but he
hoped that there would be a rise in the
river 50 that the ceremony could take place
directly after the election in November.
Usually there Is pleasant weather about
that time.
Ii is quite remarkable that while there
has been such an abundance OF rain in the
States north OF southern Kentucky and
Tennes5ee. there has been almost a drought
in Tennessee. Captain Wood, of Franklin,
the president Of the commission, returned
from Shiloh Tuesday.

Gas by Meter Measurement.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
My family have been using meter gas at
Winona Lake this season for cooking pur-
poses, and we have found it is more eco
nomical than we supposed it would be.
The meter ordinance should pass, if for no
other reason than to demonstrate what a
blessing gas is when it is used by direct
flame instead of the chimney-waste process
True, gas will cost more than under our
present system. but it would be fair that
the gas used should be paid for well as
the gas unnecessarily wasted. Ii occurs TO
me l would prefer 10 have a good. reliable
fire I'm the kitchen than a kindling fire
such as we have had 10 contend with for
several years. The gas companies have
been furnishing gas under the old ordinance
for years, and its use at prevailing rates
has surely been a blessing to the city. Now
that the gas supply is diminished there
should be no hesitancy in meeting new
conditions in a spirit of reasonableness.
