his ascension here hung inflated IN the

mysteriOusly cut with knives in man

have to be postponed until Santos Du-
mont can obtain a new envelope, which

The National Hardwood Lumber
association has organized traffic
department, with headquarters at
Chicago, and w. d. Hurlbut, well
known in Evansville, and who was
until recently general coal agent for
the Illinois Central railroad, has
been made traffic manager.
In the ultimatum issued il is an
nounced that the power that goes
with over SCI 10000 revenue is to
be used by the hardwood merchants
of the country to compel the rail-
roads to treat them more fairly in
the matter Of rates, and to secure
classifcations which in their judg-
ment are more equitable than the
ones now in force.
Mr.. Hurlbut is given power tc
route every carload Of hardwood
lumber shipped in the United States
by members of the association.
This, means practically, that Mr.
Hurlbut will have power to route
all such traffic, for the association
is made up of over 500 concerns,
scattered throughout the United
States. The amount Of traffic out
side The control Of the association Il
not worthy of mention.
The power which is thus placed
in Mr.. Hurlbut's hands is greater
than that possessed by any othe
kindred official in the country
That he is expected to WELD it L
the greatest advantage Of the asso
citation goes without saying. Th'
records OF the National Hardwood
Lumber association, OF which r
II. Smith, Of St. Louis, is presi
dent, show that about 600 car
loads Of lumber are shipped dali.
by the members OF the association
A fair average shipping charge TO
each car is said to be $75. Upol
this same basis the yearly revenu'
derived by the railroads from tn
hardwood lumber interests is abou
SCI 800, 900, which members OF tn
association say is conservative es
innate.
The effect Of giving one man tn
power to route this amount OF tral
fic absolutely may be tremendou:
Mr.. Hurlbut could, il he desired
demoralize the lumber traffic situs
ton in a single day and send rate
tobogganing .-Ev. Courier.
/ This affords anoths& object lesso
why the People, and not corpors
tions, should control and fix trans
portalion rates on the railroads 9

Commerce Commission should b
given power to do so by law.

In little house in South Wash
ington is located a federal intitutio,'
without which the Smithsonian in.
and national museum could
not exist. II is the department OF
the chief poisoner, Mr.. Jos. Farmer
The Office Of chief poisoner was not
unusual in countries ruled by des-
pots, but it may be a surprise to
many to learn that such an Office is
maintained by our republican form
of administration.
Everything that is received by
these institutions, whether it is q
rare book, a Filipino bolo, or
stuffed and mounted animal, is sent
to Mr.. Farmer to be poisoned. H.
is an expert in the preparation and
use of preservative compounds
For stuffed animals and birds he
finds that arsenical compounds
bring the best results. Every sub
iect of metal receives a coating o.
something that prevents rust, while
fabrics, basketry, silks, furs, etc.
are poisoned in much the same
manner as stuffed animals. Even
the shelves and cases Of the mus
cum, in which the objects are
placed, have passed through Mr.
Farmers hands, and have beer
treated to a fluid that causes bug
moth or cockroach to think that hi

Ex.Congressman Grout, Of Yer

He was out in San Francisco, Cal.
some days ago and put up at the
SWEETEST hotel there. He is the au'
thor Of what is known as the Grou'
ELECTROMAGNETIC bill.
II is said that he delivered him
self freely on what he termed tht
s'fraudulency Of the painted butter
substance, and ventured the opin'
ion that no "sane American citizer
would knowingly buy such a decel
as that in preference to such surert
dairy butter as this (referring to tht
butter he was eating)." His com
panion admitted the fact. And !
would seem so. !.
What makes Mr.. Grout so furi
ously mad, however, is the TACT tha
he was then eating oleomargarine
He learned this subsequently
Since that he feels imposed upon
and raises the temperature abou
him every time he thinks about tn

At theAast session of the Dubois
County Farmers Institute, held at
Huntingburg, in December, 1901,
resolution was passed ordering the
president to appoint one assistant in
each township. Ths duty Of the
persons named is to assist the pres.
ident in advertising the annual in
.titute more extensively and create
a greater interest among our farmers
in that valuable school which no
one can afford to fail to attend.
We believe that the time has como
when farmers should strive to learn
better methods and study closely
the WAYS and means of better farm
ing. Farming is the noblest Of pro-
LESSONS and we should strive to ex-
eel in it. II is hoped that the per-
sons named below will do all in
their power 70 interest farmers in
their respective townships, to attend
our next annual session. Let us
work together, and get every farmer
to visit our coming institute. Be-
gin to talk up the matter now. The
following named persons have been
appointed to aid the president in
every way possible to make the in
stitute what it should be:
