The Deadly Cigarette.

OF the 500 inmates of the reform
school at Plainheld, $50 have been
smokers of the deadly cigarette.
There is no question that as a breed
er of crime and producer of insanity
the cigarette has no equal. a few
years ago a man lived here by the
name of Turner, wooden mill man.
They had only one son, a bright boy
who acquired the cigarette habit.
Nothing they could do would break
him of the appetite for cigarettes FL
nally he became maniac and was
taken to Longcliffe asylum, and if
still living is probably there yet. We
are told there are boys in Peru who
persist in smoking cigarettes in spite
of the stringent law against it. A
few arrests and prosecutions would
no doubt have wholesome effect up
on these wayward lads. 1t is cheap
er to prevent crime and insanity than
to support criminals in reformatories
and insane people in hospitals.-Peru

robbed by mean thief the other day.
The senator was getting his shoes

to Sam Parker, lead quarter that
the Senator had taken in trade, the
manuscripts of notice to open a

DANGER IS OVER.
Situation at Culver Military Academy
Relieved Promptly.

]. 5. Martin, secretary of the coun-
ty board of health, has issued a state
ment regarding the smallpox situa-
ton at Culver Military academy
which developed recently and which
required the sending of students of
the Culver summer school to Winona
Lake Mr.. Martin says the one and
only case of smallpox among the en-
ployes of the academy has been most
carefully guarded from its inception
and the infected person, together with
those in any way exposed, removed
to a point three miles from the acad-
emy and mile from any habitatoin.
Guards have been placed on duty and
every precaution has been taken.
The buildings which these people
occupied, together with their cloth
ing, trunks and other effects which
may have been exposed, have been
destroyed by fire. The health secre-
tary says in concluding his statement
that he does not consider there is any
danger of infection from smallpox in
that locality than if it had never made
its appearance

The Winona Picnic.

The picnic Tuesday to Winona,
under the auspices of the Methodist
Sunday School, was a pleasant and
enjoyable affair The day was an
ideal one for a picnic and the crowd
of about 500 that went from this place
had great time and good dinner.
1t was an event that will be long
remembered by all the excursionists.
The features on the grounds were the
sham battle, boat race and parade of
the naval cadets. Winona has been
greatly improved this year and the
wide cement walks leading all over
the grounds and the broad parterres
of flowers on every hand made it a
delightful place for pedestrians. Much
credit is due Mr.. Parks for the ex-
cellent management of the excursion.

CONCRETE TIE FAILURE.
Experiment by Lake Shore Brings
Poor Results.

The concrete railroad tie, on which
the Lake Shore officials built 50
many hopes, has proven failure and
it is probable no more of them will
be put IN the Lake Shore road bed.
They were spoken of so highly by
officials for a time after their inven-
ton and installation on the road that
there were prospects Elkhart would
have new industry where the metal
parts would be manufactured for
making the new tie. For several
weeks the capacity of the Lake
Shores rail shop was taxed almost
to the limit in cutting rails into short
pieces and making the clips and other
parts In fact the entire tie was made
except the concrete. The new tie is
nearly the size in thickness and width
of the common wooden tie A steel
rail is imbedded in the concrete to
give strength, and steel clips are used
to bind the concrete to the rail- The
cost of the complete rail is about
$3.50 The inventor, Roadmaster c.
Buhrer, of Sandusky, believed it
would be vety lasting, because con-
crete has a tendency to become hard
er year after year while exposed to
the weather.
The average cost of the best grade
of oak tie is about rs cents which un-
der ordinary circumstances is durable
eight years. To make the concrete
tie cheaper than the old wooden tie,
it would have to last at least "a years.
Many Of those placed in the road
bed last fall and spring are already
beginning to show that their life is
short. In hundreds of cases, the con-
crete has crumbled away from the
nail, which makes it practically use
less. The trouble seems to be that
there is almost no cohesion between
the rail and concrete. Another fact
that makes the concrete tie ilnpracti-
|cal is that there is no give" or spring
to it, which damages the company's
rolling stock, officials say. The metal
parts of thousands of the new ties
Ewere constructed at the local railroad
shop during the last year, but no
new orders have been received for
several months Many of the ties
were placed on the air line but most
were sent to eastern divisions.-La-

China's Future.

The most significant point in the
statement of Mr.. Sato of the suite of
Peace Commissioner Komura is not
that the Japanese demand for indem-
1ity will be moderate, nor the opti-
nlistic view of the outcome of the ne
gotiat;ons, but the Japanese attitude
toward China. Quoting the Associ-
ated Press dispatch:
Japan's attitude toward China was
most friendly, said Mr.. Sato, and
while maintaining no moral Monroe
doctrine over the Empire, she felt
that it was more or less under Japan's
protection. This protection, by way
OF illustration, Mr. Sato said, was not
so strong as that of the United States
over South America. Mr.. Sato en-
phasized the announcement made fire.
quently before, that Japan does not
seek territorial aggrandizement and
on this point the speaker said: We
want in Manchuria equal opportuni-
ty, or what Mr.. Hay called the open
door"
1t has been plain from the first
that, should Japan win the present
war, she would endeavor to take
China in hand and reorganize the
Empire into compact state. Yet it
is a colossal task In extent of ter
ritory and in heterogeneity of popu-
lation and interests we have had
nothing in Occidental history like
China. The nearest parallel we have
had was Europe after the conquest OF
Charlamange, when he organized al
most the whole continent into his
loose-jointed holy Roman Empire"
and left it to be fought over and to
sink lower and lower in authority
through the rise of subordinate prin-
ces and states until Napoleon finally
kicked the remnants to pieces.

PICKLE CROP RIPE.
Indiana Raises Lots of Pickles Tor the
Market.

Indiana pickle crop harvest has be-
gun. Indiana produces 1,125,000 COO
cucumbers for pickles a year, not
counting those grown for private use
for the kind that mother makes .
The growing of cucumbers for pickles
brings about 81 ,O25, 900 a year to In
diana farmers and it is said that the
farmer has a better chance to turn
common sense into good dollars and
cents than in almost any other spec
ial line of farming
Not that there is any trick or Sc
cret of success in raising and market
ing cucumbers, but it must be done
right if it is successful. Only small
proportion of this enormous crop of
cucumbers is made into pickles in this
state, however, for the sixty or more
sailing stations in the state are owned
by pickle manufacturers in Indiana,
Missouri, Michigan, New York and
Pennsylvania.
When the cucumbers are harvested
they are placed in immense tanks
holding from one to two thousand
bushels each. This sailing process re-
quires sixty to ninety days, during
which time the cucumbers are kept in
the strong brine. They first turn
white and then yellow spots appear
during the process of fermentation.
These spots enlarge gradually until
they cover the entire surface of the
cucumber, turning it rich golden
brown, when it is ready for the lin-
ishing touches at the pickle factory.
The cucumbers are kept at the salt
ing stations and transferred to the
factories from time to time as they
are needed in large tank cars. The
next process is to take out the excess
Of salt that has been absorbed during
the fermenting period and after sort
ing and grading, the cucurnbers are
ready to be finished with sirup, vine
gar, spices and other ingredients that
give the finished product the favor of
the particular brand.
