ship, sold 5000 worth of onions off OF
less than four acres of ground this
year." says the Starke County Dem
ocrat The total cost of producing
the crop was s21O, thus leaving a
net profit of nearly 800. Mr.. Dipert
also has four acres of potatoes that
will yield about 500 bushels. This
class OF farming should be given
more attention by Starke county
farmers For the most part, Mr.. Di-
pert's crops were raised on muck
land. Acting on the advice of the ex-
perimental station at Purdue Mr.. Di-
pert sowed about 500 pounds of pot
ash to the acre on his muck lands
and the results are most satisfactory.
Several farmers in Oregon township
are testing the potash proposition
and find it very satisfactory. Wher-
ever the potash is used on rne muck
lands the corn is good and sound and
will yield up to 80 bushels to the
acre. AT cost of SIS per acre muck
lands can be made productive for at
least a period of three years"

Turned on His Prosecutors.

AS a result of a Halloween
fight November 1st at North
Manchester, Hughes Steed is at
the home of his father with a
bullet il his leg. In company
with other boys Steed met Doyle
Ramsey while he was walking
along the street with a girl COM
panion, and demanded that he
desert her and come with them
He refused to obey and the boys
continued to nag at him, when
he pulled a revolver and fired
The bullet penetrated the leg Of
Steed and caused a painful
though not serious wound.
The fight was repition of a
similar fight last week, when
Ramsey was tied to the fence
of his sweetheart's home by the
same crowd of boys, and left
there in the cold for several
hours. The boys are about eigh-
teen years old.

Mail Rush Unprecedented.

The Chicago postofice handled
more pieces of mail last week than
ever before in its history. Although
the men worked until they wer. al
most ready TO drop from exhaustion
they handled every piece of mall that
went to the postoffice. The -only
mail delayed was some pieces of
fourth-class matter The delay in
that case was due to a series of small
accidents.
Postmaster Coyne attributes the
unusual rush to tlrefact that the frst
of the month fell in the middle of the
week. Consequently he had to han
die all the weekly and monthly news
papers and all the regular business
at the same time.
Then, too, the approach of election
day resulted in a mass OF political
literature being sent through the
mails One candidate alone mailed
over 100000 letters and it is safe to
say there was not one of the 34S.000
registered voters in the city who did
not receive at least one piece of pol
itical literature

TWENTY TOWNS OUT.
Plenty of Places Want the Epileptic
Village

"Henryville, Winamac, Knox, San
Pierre, North Judson, Hamlet, Misha-
waka, Trinity Springs" DR.. L. L.
Whitesides, of Franklin, seated in the
governors office at Indianapolis,
paused for breath. He had been ask
ed what cities were after the Indiana
village for epiIeptics and he was try
ing to enumerate them all Accom-
panying him were DIR. Stephen l.
Brown of Knox, and Ezra Mattingly
of Washington, the other members OF
the commission, chosen to select the
site and superintend the erection of
the new village, provided for by the
last general assembly.
Dr. Whitesides took a long breath
and started again: "Loogootee and
Paoli; Spencer, Rochester and Ply
mouth; Monon, Bloomington and
NobIesville-there are some of the
location of the village = continued the
doctor THAT is, there are the towns
that we have visited. Others that are
trying for the location, which we
have not yet visited, include: Monti-
cello, Browntown, Rockville, Green
castle, CharTestown, Nob1esvil1e and
Franklin. And / do not know how
many more are after the village
The question of location does not
have to be settled until next March
under the law, so that the members
of the commission will take their time
about the final selection. after the
six remaining cities are visited said
Dr. Whitesides, then we will COM
mence the pruning process and grad
ua11y eliminate one town after anoth-
er. 1t is no easy task to select the
/ 900 acres of land best suited for the
purpose to which it must be used for
the village and we are going to be
sure that we are right. The appro-
priation made amounts to $15O,OO0.
This will probably be the largest
of the state benevolent institutions, y
continued Dr. Whitesides. 1t will
start with a population of about 1000
patients and predict that before ten
years have passed the total popula-
ton including the attendants, will be
$500 people and that probably the
total investment of the state in the
village by that time will be in the
neighborhood of s2,O00,0OO.

Flavoring Eggs.

An Illinois man member OF the
Zion City Fraternity of John Alex
ander Dowie, has made the discovery
that by feeding hens certain favored
foods he can obtain eggs that will
have a corresponding flavor. For in
stance an orange peel diet will pro-
duce eggs that will have pleasant
orange taste, and so on through the
whole list of fiavoring extracts. There
is one flavor, however, which can be
procured without going through the
feeding process and that is the loath-
some SAVIOR that attaches to the cold
storage egg. No matter how pure
and sweet it may have been at birth,
the average egg put on the market in
the winter time has the musty smell
and taste that attaches to something
very old. An egg kept out of the
cold storage plant can only be sure
of retaining its original flavor of rich
ness obtained through the healthiness
of the hen or the food she eats.

INDIANA'S HEALTH.
Disease and Death in this State in
September.


On account of delayed reports, the
statistics of the State Board Of
Health for September have been de.
1ayed. The general health of the
State for September, 1905, was not
quite as good as in the correspond
ing month last year, death rates be-
ing respectively 1879 and 1872. Ty-
phoid fever was reported as the most
prevalent disease, which was also the
case IN the preceding month. The or
der of disease prevalence was as fol-
lows Typhoid fever, (enteric), diarr-
hoea, rheumatism, tonsilitis, intermit-
tent and reniittent fever, bronchitis,
cholera morbus, dysentery, cholera
infantum, scarlet fever, diptheria and
membranous Group, Inflammation OF
bowels, typho-malarial fever, pneu-
monia, wf1ooping cough, pleuritis,
erysipelas, influenza, cerebro-spinal
meningitis, puerperaT fever, smallpox,
measles.
Smallpox has almost died out in the
State, only As cases being reported in
twelve counties with no deaths. In
the corresponding month last year
there were 1877 cases in twenty-five
counties with twelve deaths Dip
liberia was more prevalent in Septem-
Der this year than last. deaths being
respectively twelve in September,
1904, and twenty-nine in September,
1905. Consumption and cancer keep
up their regular rate. while there is
an increase to record in pneumonia.
Deaths: The total number of deaths
was 301S. rate 1919. OF this number
COL were under one year of age and
679 were over 65 years of age. 1t
thus appears that 42.4 per cent OF the
life OF the 299 deaths from con-
sumption. 19s were females and 101
males. OF the females. "a were in the
age period of IS TO 40. were married
and were mothers. They left $50 or
phans under IL years of age. This
disease therefore destroyed 9S parents
in the prime of life, and created 191
orphans under twelve years of age in
one month The pneumonia deaths
numbered SIS against 73 in the cores
ponding monht last year. There was
but one death from influenza in Au-
gust, while in September there were
FIVE. There will be a still further in
crease in the month of October. 1t
must be understood that diseases OF
the air passages, such as consump-
ton, pneumonia and influenza, are
house diseases, and are induced by
denying the body its full quota OF
fresh air. When the cold months ar
rive, we close doors and windows,
and retire into the house, and for the
comfort and warmth, suffer CORES
pondingly in the respiratory tract.

Canada Gets American Land.

The United States will lose and
Canada will gain strip of land four
ten miles wide and between 200 and
800 miles long, containing gold, sill
yer and copper worth millions of dol
lars, il Congress accepts the survey
now bein gmade by American and
British engineers When the inter-
national boundary was established il
was decided that monuments mark
ing it should be placed ten marine
leagues, or thirty-five miles from the
headwaters of all bays and inlets
north of the Portland Canal whereas
the engineers now a. work are plac-
ing the monuments only twenty-one
miles from such heaGwaters. A Wig
orous protest has been made by the
Unuk Mine Company, controlled by
Illinois capitalists, which, under the
new arrangement, would be thrown
into Canadian territory, thus calling
into question the title to property
worth millions of dollars.

The Pennsylvania railroad is
breaking all records for the transpor-

Lewiston Junction. Operating Off
GERS OF the road say that they do not
expect congestion of freight, as was
experienced last year, but they be-
lieve that every car available will be
in service during the coming winter
months No relief in the car situa-
ton is assured until the freight cars
recently ordered by the Pennsylvania

Business and Politics
Under this expressive heading the

est thought Much of the corrup-
ton in politics" that paper says, 'is
due to the eminently respectable busi-

business men who are so intensely
interested in their own affairs that
they pay no attention to politics, per-
go by default, and then vote the
straight party ticket regardless of its
personnel or the things for which
it stands. On this class of business
men rests the odium of not being
good citizens in the fullest and best
meaning of the term Tney owe
something to the state after they
have paid their share of taxes They

honest and efficient men are placed
in Office. There is another class of
business men, supposedly respecta-
bic, that makes politics business
and it is this class that furnishes the
ward heeler with the sinews OF war
and that reaps in money values the
success of one set of officeholders.
This class is not numerous, but it is
decidedly dangerous
