MONUMENT
TO MORTON
INDIANA'S WAR GOVERNOR TO
BE HONORED
"A SUITABLE MEMORIAL
TO Be Erected in Indianapolis
The Committees Were Named
at Meeting.
IA SUITABLE MEMORIAL

Plans to have a monument erected
to the Hon. Oliver p. Morton, at In
dianapolis have now taken definite
shape and it is quite probable that
the next legislature will appropriate
sum of money for the erection of
such monument. Today at the
State House in indianapolis, COM
mittee, which was recently appoint
ed by the G. A. R. department Of In
diana, will meet to consider a report
which the committee intends making
to the Legislature. 1t has been the
desire Of the members of the G. A. r.
for some time that a statue of Indi-
ana's war governor be placed on the
piazza or terrace at the east Of the
State House and facing the Indiana
Soldiers and Sailors Monument.
In the appointment of the committee
for this purpose it seems strange
that no member of the G. A. r. was
appointed from Wayne county which
was the home of Governor Morton.
This has often attracted the atten-
tion of prominent Grand Army men,
but no explanation has ever been
made Of the matter. The members
of the committee are W. R. King, of
Greenfield; George w. Grubbs, Mar
tinsville; A. D. Van Osdal, Madison ;
D. N. toster, Ft. Wayne, and Charles
M. Travis, Charlottesville. 1t is said
that no set amount for such a monu-
ment has been decided upon by the
committee, but there is a sentiment
in favor Of an appropriation Of a
sum as large or larger than the ap-
preparation authorized for the cree
ton of the Hendricks monument in
the State House grounds.

SOMETHING new
Pictures Made Whether Sun Shines
or Not.

At this season of the year people
have usually been at a loss to have
pictures finished for Christmas pres
ents. If the weather was dark and
cloudy no pictures could be secured
Last year the weather before Christ
mas was cloudy and few pictures
were made. This Christmas the sit
uation is changed, and Mr.. F. j. Par
sons cares little whether the sun
shines or not. He has a new ap-
paratus called the Risto Printing cab
met, which contains an electric bulb.
Forty cabinets and twenty Sx10 pie
lures can be finished at one time

APPOINTED
PRIVATE SECRETARY TO GOV
ERNOR HANLY
A VERY HANDSOME SALARY
Goes With the Office-Has Been
Close Personal Friend for
Years.
A VERY HANDSOME SALARY

Yesterday morning at indianapolis
-Governor-elect J. Frank Hanly an
nounced that Union B. Hunt, of
Winchester, would be the governors s
private secretary. Mr.. Hanly and
Mr.. Hunt have been close friends,
both politically and personally for a
number of years and Mr.. Hunt hest
tated for some time about accepting
the position but finally accepted.
Mr.. Hunt is well known poll
tician and attorney Of the Eighth
district and he has served two terms
as Secretary of State. In speaking
of the appointment Governor Hanly
said: "The position of secretary to
the governor is something more than
a clerkship. The manner in which
the duties are performed go far to
make or mar the State administration
The relation between the secretary
and the governor is so confidential
that the selection ought to be a per-
sonal one. Acting upon this convic-
ton, | rendered the position to I'm
ion B. Hunt Immediately after the
election. The administration and the
people are more to be congratulated
than Mr.. Hunt
The salary of the private secre-
tarv to the governor is $2,400 a year,
as provided by the general appropri-
alton bill passed in 1908.

Mr.. NICHOLSON, REV. LYONS
Assist in Drawing Up Provisions
For a New Divorce
Law.

Timothy Nicholson and the Rev. S.
r. Lyons of the United Presbyterian
Church attended a meeting of church
representatives in indianapolis Tues
day afternoon which decided on six
provisions for a new law covering di-
vorces. These provisions will be en-
bodied in a bill which will be intro
duced in the Legislature after being
examined by several of the best
known jurists in the state. Church
members Of every denomination will
memorable the Legislature to pass
the bill.
The following are the six provis-
ions that We're decided on:
l. After a divorce suit is filed, the
trial shall be deferred from three
months to one year.
2. Three years residence in
county shall be required before a di-
vorce suit can be filed.
3. Uncorroborated testimony Of
the plaintiff or defendant shall not
be accepted by the court in the trial
of a divorce action.
4. When the commission of a
crime is sufficient reason for the
granting of a divorce it should be
made a cause for the punishment of
the wrong-doer and the prosecuting
attorney should be compelled to pros
ecute the case.
5. Limited divorces for a consid-
cradle time should be granted and
punishment for bigamy should be in
flicted if a marriage is contracted be-
fore the expiration of the time speci-
fed in the limited divorce decree.
6. The guilty party should not be
allowed to remarry as long as the
cause for which the divorce was grant
ed exists.
The sixth provision is to prevent
the so-called "habitual drunkards"
from remarrying until they can con-
vince the court that they have COM
pletely reformed.
Besides Mr.. Nicholson and DR.. Ly-
ons the following representatives at
tended the meeting:

FOOD VALUE OF OYSTER.


AS a matter of interest there is only
n species of oyster, ostrea virginica,
along the eastern coast of North
America, says. Good Housekeeping.
The western coast has at least five
species, but only two of these are of i'm
portance, and these do not Compare with
the eastern shellfsh. Thus it is appar-
emit that a blue point. a Providence
river and a Chesapeake bay oyster are
one and the same thing, S o far as spe-
cies is concerned. The difference is
merely a matter of environment, a diff
ference in food supply and conditions In
growth.
The noted blue point comes from the
Long Island shore, from what was once
a natural bed. Il gets its name from
the little town of Blue Point, off which
the beds were discovered. These oys-
tiers were of handsome shape and extra
appearance, and at once commanded
fancy prices. 1t was only a matter of
time when these and Eeightoring beds
would be worked out. and then 1t was
found necessary to resort to seeding"
or "planting"-that is, covering the
beds with young oysters from other To-
calities.
The oyster is rich in p~hosphates, but is
almost entirely lacking in ~fatmaking,
muscle-building material and those ele-
ments which go to make up physical
force and vitality. While 1t is whole
some and easily assimilated, the actual
food value of the oyster is not suili-

Office Of Public Road
Inquiry Talks.
IN THE SOUTH.

Martin Dodge, director of the office
of Public Road Inquiries, is stoppine
at the Park Avenue Hotel. He viii
be a speaker at tho Automobile Clut
dinner ON Saturday night.
cit is remarkable what a hold thai
idea of good roads has taken upon the
minds of the people of every class In
every section, he said last night.
In the extreme East as much inter
est is shown as in the rural sections.
1 am answering all sorts of inquiries
from this city since tho Brownlow
bill providing government aid has
been introduced into Congress.
"In some parts of the south this
subject of good roads has actually
superseded the race question i'll polit.
ical and other conventions. In Little
Rock, where a good roads convention
assemblies tomorrow, I have been adj
vlsed that there is likely to be q larger
gathering of people of that section
than has been seen in the city for
many years.

Alaska even. for information and aid.
On the Canadian side Of Alaska, where
good roads have received intelligent
government attention, -four costs So;
in the distant regions, not far from
the American line. the same -four
costs $3~3-because of the expense of
hauling over the existing American

1.-THE demands of ~thelpeople through
out the south are forcing some of the
most conservative opponents Of govern
ment aid in Congress from that part
of the country to take an attitude of
approval toward the PROJECT. 1t is a
different matter to reply in the mega

same government which gives about
$50, 600, 900 a year for river and harbor
improvements should willingly give
So, 000, 900 per year for three years to
enable him to build better roads, par
ticularly when nnder the terms of the
appropriation he must expend an equal
amount for the same purpose.

almost every aggregation of capital
are together on this subject. Good

reduce the cost of commodities which

HOW sHELLFIsH TALK.
Warn One Another of DANCE by
Weird Clicking Sounds, Says q
Distinguished Naturalist.

Most seGmen will tell of curious click
ing sounds heard on calm nights at sea,
and the origin OF the noise. seems so al
together u~nacccuntable that 1t has often
created some alarm among superstitiors
fishermen, says the Chicago Tribune.
distinguished naturalist made a care
full study of the sounds on many occa-
5ions, and found that it was not a srs-
tained note, but made up of a multitude
of tiny ones, each clear and distinct in
Itself, and ranging from a high treble
down to a bass. When the ear vas ap-
piled to the gurwale Of the boat the
sound grew more inense, and in some
places, as the boat moved on, it could
not be heard at all.
On other occasions the sound resem-
bled The tolling of bells, the booming Of
guns. and the notes of an Aeolian harp.
For a long time he was unable to trace
the cause, but at length discovered that
the sounds were made by shellfish, hun
dreds of them opening their shells and
closingthem with sharp snaps. The noise,
partly muffied by the water, sounded
indescribably weird. He was finally led
to the conclusion that, as the shellish
made the sounds, they probably had some
meaning, and that the clicks might posi-
bly, be a warning of danger when the
shallow water was disturbed by the boat.

Chinese Record Of FLOOD.

According to Chinese annals, the
earth, in consequence of the extreme
wickedness of its inhabitants, was de.
stroyed by a deluge in the reign of Yaou
B. C. 1857. This date nearly corresponds
with that at which, according to our
chronology, the Noachlan deluge tool
place, and many have come to the con
clusion that it is identical with the de.
luge referred to in the Hebrew Scrip
lures.
