Boy Instantly Killed.

Ernest, the five year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Wilmer living three
miles east of Bremen, was crushed to
death under heavy hay rack while
playing in his fathers barn Monday
afternoon.
Ernest and another boy about the
same age were playing in the barn and
a heavy hay rack was leaning up
against the side of the building in
such position that as soon as Err
nest stepped on its edge it fell over
on top of him. The screams of the
little fellow who witnessed the acct
dent attracted the attention of the
family and as soon as possible the
rack was removed from the boy but it
was too late as death had undoubtedly
been instant. His head was crushed
in a horrible manner.

One OF the Blue Laws.

Roselle, in the State Of New Jersey,
got tired of the old blue law forbid
ding husbands kissing their own wives
on Sunday-to say nothing of others
and the chief OF police was notified
by the citizens that they would not
obey it. Aud why should they, ex-
cept on the general principle that all
laws should be obeyed until repealed.
AS pointed out by Judge Coke of the
United States Circuit Court, about
IA 900 laws are passed every year,
and the average citizen has hard
time keeping up with the procession.
Ignorance of the law does not excuse
its violation, as every one knows, SO it
is necessary to be very circumspect 10
ones conduct. But man should
have the right to kiss his wife on Sun
day. Not only should he have tue
right. but he should exercise it. Out
here In Indiana there is no legal re-
striction of the privilege privilege
which should also be pleasure-and
our citizens are not driven to the ne
cessity Of openly defyiug the author
tiles as Is the case In New Jersey. A
woman a short time ago died and
when her will was probated it was
found that she had left her husband
only live dollars out Of an estate which
reached the sum of $4,000. The
reason given was that he had not
kissed her once in seven years. She
served him exactly right. He is the
sort of man who could follow that
New Jersey blue law to the letter
without any qualms of conscience.
Sunday is day which should be prop
erly observed always, but the old blue
law restrictions are not calculated to
meet present conditions.

individuality Of Wrong Dong.

Now and then somebody says some
thing in stump speech which has
the ring of common sense, the convin-
cling quality of clear thinking.
Joseph w. Folk, the man who COW
cred the st. Louis gang of official
thieves with the execration of the
public if not with that of the Missouri
supreme court, is credited with say
ing several things of this kind in his
recent speeches seeking nomination
for the governorShip of his state. In
one of them he is reported as follows:
do not like to hear 1T said that
there have been SO many democratic
bOodlers and SO many republican
boodlers. The boodler is democrat
or republican merely as cloak to
his villany. / say the boodler is not
democrat; he is not republican; he
is criminal and he ought to be
treated as such by all political parties
This is the plain, unvarnished
truth and when men will learn and
practice its application to all the re-
lations of life the world will be infin-
itely the better.

Now that the Prohibition conven-
tion is in session here, there may be
certain timeliness in calling atten-
tion to a new antidote for the drink
habit. 1t is not intended to intimate.
of course, that the convention dele
gates or their accompanying friends
have any personal use for such RENE
dies; the natural inference is that
they have a philanthropic and profess
sional interest in acquiring and dis
seminating all possible information on
the subject; also, it must be admitted
even by themselves that their pres
ence inevitably, though innocently
on their part, suggests lntoxiconts.
This antidote, which has been dis
covered and is recommended by a
Cincinnati doctor, who may be pre-
sumed to have had abundant exper-
iennce ia the treatment of the drink
habit, is the simple and agreeable use
Of candy.
When a man drinks beer or other
intOxicants, this physician says, he
speedily loses the taste for sweets,
the drink supplying that want in the
system, or perhaps deadening it. Log
ically, then, it follows that sweets
must 6ffset the desire for beer; there
fore, all the person who is addicted to
beer has to do is to eat a nickel's
worth of candy whenever be is moved
to take a drink. Tais. asserts the
doctor, will soon destroy the desire for
intoxicants without any bad after ef-

CirclIne the Loop IN an Automobile.

Circling the loop in an automobile
is the high priced feature of John
Robinson's shows at Plymouth Mon
day, July IL. MephiSto'S actual work
covers twelve seconds and for this be
receives sixteen dollars.
This "Riding the Loop" is mar
velous performance, daring In the ex-
treme, and nothing like it has ever be-
fore been conceived and executed.
Seated in an automobile on little
perch at the dome of the arena this
daredevil performer shoots down a
narrow incline at terrific speed.
The great momentum sends the auto.
up into and around the barrel-Shaped
loop like a flash, and as he shoots
around this cylinder, his head hang
ing downward, while the automobile
obeying the law Of centrifugal fercs,
clings to the surface. The reserve
speed carries him into the arena from
the tangent of his curved course, where
bowling and smiling, the audience
after short breath-holding spell, ap-
plauds this intrepid and skilled artist
to the echo, thrilled by the daring
nerve of this marvellous performer.

Sword Fish in Kankakee River.

A queer looking fish was caught in
the Kankakee river by R. L. Gordon,
says the Hebron News. 1t is said
such a fish was never known to be
caught except in waters in the trop-
icaf and subtropical zones. While
some OF the sword fish grow to an
enormous size this one measured ex.
actly three feet. While Mr.. Gordon
and a number of his friends were
sailing down the river their launch
was punctured BY this aggressive fish
which drove It's sword through the
boat so far it could not be lOOsened
until its bill was broken off. This
Mr.. Gordon used for q harpo0n and
the fish was safely landed.

Crop Prospects.

Crop prospects just now are as good
as could be reasonably expected, SAYS
the New York Weekly Financial Re-
view. The promise at present is for
a wheat crop of about $50, 900. 900
bushels, corn crop Of nearly $780,
600, 900 bushels and cotton crop of
IL, 900, 900 bales. Corn is the only
backward crop; but nearly all the
other crops have had good start, are
in good condition and have reached a
degree of maturity that will enable
them to withstand ordinary adverse
conditions of weather, which,. OF
course, must be counted upon in all
calculations.
The wheat crop of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois is unusually light, but
will be almost made good by heavy
crops OF wheat in other states.

More School Loan Decisions.

At Lawrenceburg the town was in
In debt TO the constitutional limit of
two per cent. but as new school
house was required the ''school city"
issued ten-year bonds for the purpose.
A suit was brought to test the valid
ity of the law of 1908 providing for
such action. and asking an injunction
against the bond issue Judge Downey
held that the school city is distinct
and separate municipality from the
civil city, and that the act Of 1908
gave the school city the right to issue
bonds regardless of the amount of in
debtedneSS of the civil city. This
ruling is in line with the opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Miller

The Appetite Of a Bird.

and remarks, "Why. you ,havn't the

To.
The average man, if he had bird IS
appetite, would devour from thirty to
thirty-one pounds of food day, which
would be tax on the larder of his
hostess.
Recent experiments have proved
that the average bird manages to eat
about one. fifth of his own weight oaily
with ease. If he can get so much food;
and in wild state, though the bird
has to hunt for his daily provender.
he is eating a large part Of the time
during the day, and manages to get
his full rationS.
The smaller the bird the more vora-
cious seems to be its appetite and its
power OF absorption, A German SCI
enlist recently kept canary under
observation for month. The little
creature weighed only sixteen gram

managed to eat 5l2 CANNES weight
Of food; that is, about thirty-two
times its own weight. The bird must
therefore have eaten its own weight
in food every day.
