IiVerence from Debt.

A pathetic scene was witnessed in d
bank at Noblesville. Ind, the other

However, few days ago when he had

bank he knelt on the floor in front of
the cashiers window and ferventlY

years. A crowd gathered and con-

EX-CONFEDS SEEK PENSIONS.
Recent Change in Law for Bene-
fit of Southern DeSerters.

The commissioner of pensions at
Washington gives out the statement
that an enormous impression seems to
exist among many ex-confederate sol.
diers regarding the Interpretation to
be put upon the recent act of congress
relieving union soldiers sOf the disa-
bility for having previously served in
the confederate army. The idea pre-
walls that under this act the govern
ment is authorized to pension ex-con-
federate soldiers, and the result is
that the pension Office is being delug-
ed with applications from the former
wearers of the gray. The commission
err explained that the law in question
does not contemplate the pensioning
of ex-confederate soldiers, but that it
was designed solely to remove the dis
ability which so long existed in the
case of men who were impressed into
the confedera service and later join
ed the union army.

AN AGED MURDERER.
Relations Bathed Their Faces in
Victims Blood.

Petro Guardiua, a Neapolitan fish
dealer of Brooklyn, N. Y, was MUIR
dered by Sicilian, Antonio Zirotoli,
a few days ago. Zirotoli is 81 years
old, but he welded knife, which his
wife handed to him, with force suffi-
cient to sever Guardina's jugular. The
Neapo,ttan's wife and two children,
his brother and several other rela-
tives were with him when he was MUIR
dered, and in a frenzy of grief they
knelt beside the body and bathed their
faces with the blood that flowed from
the wound.
The stabbing was the outcome of a
street alteration of which Zirotoli
was merely spectator at first. The
old man became enraged as the fight
proceeded and suddenly running for
ward plunged knife into Guardina's
neck.

GREAT SALT LAKE SINKING.

the Eleventh Day of July.

"A Salt Lake, Utah, dispatch says:

Murdoch, of the United States wealth

BALLOON ASCENSIONS.
Taken Regularly Are a Certain
Cure for Cons sumption.

Paris Correspondent Chicago Chronicle.
DR.. Naueier asserted in the latest
meeting of the Academy of Medicine
that experiments he has made demon
strate that balloon ascension acts on
the human system as the most power
full tonic known. A two hours voyage
in the air, he declared, causes an as
tonishing multiplication of the red
corpuscles in the blood, and that con-
dition persists for ten days after an
ascension.
Five such excursions, he averred, are
more beneficial TO an anaemic-that Is
a person whose blood is thin and wa
tery or consumptive-than sojourn
of three months 10 the mountains.
DR.. Naugier believes the good effect
bseins to be felt Immediately and that
a heightened stay in the air is only
detrimental in causing nervous lrrlta-
ton.
The municipal council will be asked
to provide large balloon, one capable
of taking to the upper air daily fifty
patients of children who are too poor to
afford change of climate.
The academy is nearly unanimous IN
considering that the Koch theory that
bovine tuberculosis or consumption
cannot be transmitted to human beings
has already been disproved by the ex-
periment of DR.. Garnault. He inocu"
lated himself in July and the disease
now has taken an undoubted hold on
his system.

CONDITION OF GRAIN CROPS
Poor Corn Crop of South Reduces
General Average.

The monthly report of the statisti-
clan of the department of agriculture
at Washington shows the condition of
corn on August / to have been S6.5 as
compared with S7.5 on July l, 1902; "a
on August l, 1901; 87.5 as the cores
pnding date in 1900, and ten year
average of 81. The sustantantial inn
provement in the most important corn
state would undoubtedly have resulted
in marked improvement in the aver
age for the entire country, but for the
fact that fourteen southern states,
containing 1858 per cent. of the total
corn acreage, show an average decline
during July of 1O.7 points.
The statistician estimates the win
ter wheat crop at about $50, 600, 900
bushels, or an average of 1873 bushels
per acre.

A Washington dispatch says the re-

been exceedingly generous in their
contribution of campaign material use
full to the democrats.
When Chairman Griggs of the dem
ocratic congressional committee was
asked what he thought of the recent
interview of Chairman Babcock of the
republican congressional committee
on the trust question he said:
81 will let Mr.. Babcock answer Mr..
Babcoc.- on the great trust issue of
this campaign. See this:
WHAT BABCOCK SAID IN 1901.
Congressman Babcock in southwest
ern Wisconsin, summer of 1901:
81 maintain that it is part of the pol
icy of protection to protect the con-
sumner.
1--WE can today produce and under
sell the world. Shall we continue a
tariff on articles that are, N fact, ar
ticles of export? If congress main
tains a tariff on such articles the
whole theory of protection falls to the
ground, and it simply inures to the
benefit of those who may secure the
control of any such commodity since
by it's aid they can fix exorbitant
prices in the domestic market. How
can such policy be defended?"
Mr.. Babcock in the Washington
Post, September q, 1901:
zone of the points which impressed
me of the desirability of revising the
steel schedule was information OBJ
tanned in Scotland of the placing of an
order for 10000 tons of American steel.
When you stop to think that 10000
tons of steel means more than 1000
carloads it will not do TO say that such
an order placed abroad by our manu-
facturers is only their surplus prod
uct."
February T. 1902.
''From now on l am going TO push
the tariff plan at every possible oppOr-
tunity. / am going to take advantage
of every possible opening. The bill is
going TO be pressed every time the
smallest chance offers, and l am not
going to let anything go by.
''If the bill ever gets before the
house it will pass by three to one, and
it will get before the house.
81 don't care whether ne (Payne)
takes the duty off of lumber or not.
That is threat that has no terrors
for me. That won't hurt in Wiscon-
sin. The people who are going 10
make trouble fthe duty is taken of of
lumber live in Pennsylvania and
Maine, especially the hemlock people
in Pennsylvania. If MIR. Payne makes
that threat good he will be hurting the
east and not the west.
Nobody out our way is going to be
worried by the taking off of that duty.
1t would have been taken out of the
Dingley tariff when that bill was
passed if it had been passed by sched-
ule."
HE MADE COMPLETE ABOUT-FACE.
Congressman BabcOck on July %,
1902:
OIL observe that the democrats have
already dropped their Philippine is
sue, as il was prophesied they would.
1t was eco hot a proposition for them
