Amy says she knows he is innocent,

longing to anybody else but himself.

Medical Ethics in Chfnn.

Chinese doctors are very particular
about the distinction between physi-
SLAMS and surgeons. A Chinese gem
tleman was struck by an arrow
which remained fast in his body. A
surgeon was sent for and broke OF
the protruding bit of the arrow,
leaving the point imbedded. He re-
fused to extract it, because the case
was clearly one for a physician, the
arrow being inside the body.

How Smoke IL UitIIineh-

A novel method of getting rid of
black smoke, and at the same time
turning it 20 practical use, is now
being adopted in some Belgian fac
tories. The smoke is driven by fans
into a porous receptacle over which
flows a stream of petroleum or sim
liar liquid. The smoke is thus caught
and turEed into gas that gives great
heat, and can be used for running gas
engines.

TRAFFIC HEAVY FOR JULY

IN LOADED CAR MOVEMENT.
A Number of Official Changes Effec-
tive Aug. 1-Earnings satisfactory,
Net Results Improving.

The train records show a continued large
tonnage moving in midsummer. but it is
more local in character than usual, due
to the fact that most of the wheat is con-
signed TO Touring mills of Illinois. Indiana
and Ohio. These mills are we'll stocked up
and increased shipments for export via Bal
timore and Newport News are looked for,
these being the most favored Eastern ports
to export grain from this territory. Ship
ments of corn to seabord points have in
creased this MONTH but are by no means
as heavy as had been anticipated when
the light movement of many months past is
taken into consideration. In other lines
of freight, such as dressed meats. pro-
visions. flour and cereal line products. the
east-bound tonnage is in excess of that of
July, 1902. and the shortage In east-bound
traffic is chiefly in light grain shipments.

forwarded via Southern ports, largely New
Orleans and Galveston, Norfolk and New
port News doing considerable, but by no
means the business of former years. Hog
products form an important item of ship
ments in all directions, the decline In the
price of hogs, coupled with the high prices
for fresh meats. largely increasing con-
sumption of provisions. Local business in
every line continues good beyond precedent
for July. Few, if any, manufacturers have
shut down this month, as they did in years
past for two or three weeks, but are run
ming steadily and full handed. The stock
yards is doing the largest business in twen-
ty-five years that 1t has been in operation.
and in turn the packing houses are. killing
more hogs and cattle than last year.
Owners of various industries report their
business as better than ever before at this
season of the year. Commission houses
are handling more fruits and vegetables
than usual; the wholesale merchants in
every line make favorable reports regard
ing their business. The earnings of the
central traffic railways indicate that rates
are we'll maintained. and although lower
than ever before are yielding good profits.

cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
FAIR AMOUNT OF TRADE IS PRO-

Commission Row Unusually Well Sup
piled with Fruits and Vegetables
Light Grain Markets.

Trade in the week ended July Is was somewhat
of surprise in its volume. There is practically
no line of trade which has not done more bus-
ness thus far in July than in any former July
since Indianapolis became prominent whole
sale center. This remark is especially applicable
TO Commission row. where more fruits and
vegetables have been handled than in any former
season and, a rule, better prices obtained.
The supply OF watermelcns, cantaloupes. apples.
pears and like fruit have been fully equal TO the
demand, but the merchants have been able to
hold good prices There never has been a year
in which the distribution of sugars, coffees.
canned goods and like articles have been so
large. and, though profits have been small COM
petition being so sharp that goods have sold
close. the merchants making fair profits on
most articles. Druggists report trade unusually
good. the only bad thing being the unset
tied condition of the oil market. The pro-
vision market also is active. There has
been increasing demand for cured meat Is
fer several weeks. but lard is dull. it always
cheap butter. The dry goods houses are having
quiet time, but are doing more business than
in July of last year. Leather is fairly active,
but hides move along in the rut of several days
past. Flour continues active and prices are
steady and firm unless it be effect large sales.
Travelling statesmen report the outlook for trade
this fall unusually promising.
