MAsToDoN ON WABASH.
Steam Shove,s of Railroad Contract
ors Turn up Positive Evidence.

Terre Haute, Ind, Aug. 20.-The
building of the Chicago division of
the Southern Indiana road and the
extensive improvements OF the Cairo
division of the Big Four through this
section of the Wabash valley have
brought to surface evidence that the
mastodon once lived on the old banks
of the Wabash, which are clearly de-
fined from six to ten miles back of
each of the present banks of the
river
On the Chicago division road the
steam shovel recently brought up
massive bones and a few days ago
the Big Four steam shovel at West
FORK, Ill, uncovered a lower jaw
bone weighing 200 pounds and a tusk
twelve feet long. H. c. Bell of Mar
shall, ILL.,, obtained an entire tooth,
ten inches in length, eight inches
wide, two and one-half inches thick
and weighing twelve pounds. A few
days ago a mussell shell was found
ten feet deep and on it was plainly
cut the year "1sO4"

Cloth Made From Wood.

In Germany, Spain and Holland
textile goods are made out of wood,
and it is probable that this industry
will soon spread to France The pro-
cess consists in making the wood
pulp pass through a metallic plate
with number of Sits, resulting in
the formation of thin ribbons, which
pass from the slitted plate directly to
a machine which twists them, trans
forming them into very regular
threads of any desired size. The
wood fiber threads thus produced go
by the names of xyloline, silvaline
and licella. They are classified by
number like the other threads in use.
Mixed with hemp threads they have
been used to make towels. These
mixed fabrics readily admit Of wash
ing dyeing and printing. The wood
pulp thread, which grows weak when
wet, regains its resistance when dried

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Condition of the Same in This Coun-
try Today.

The passage by the Indiana legis-
lature of 1905 of the Moore amend
ment to the Nicholson law makes in
terestirg some general facts of the
liquor laws and the status of the liqu-
or traffic in the country. Many people
will doubtless be surprised to know
that the states that permit license
law at all are in the minority. Only
16-including the District of Column
bia-have license laws, and in some
of these the license is much restricted.
These states are: Delaware, District
of Columbia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky, Minnesota, Nevada, Penn
sylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Washington, Virginia, West
Virginia and Wyoming.
Here are 16 Counting the district
as a state)out of the As (still count
ing the district). All of the rest have
local option laws, except Maine, Kan
sas and North Dakota, which have
prohibition laws, and South Carolina,
which must be c1assed by itself. 1t
has state "dispensaries' for the sale
of liquor But even in the Is states
and the district classed as licensing,
there are restrictions of many kinds
beyond the Indiana standard. In the
district a license is granted only on
the written consent of majority OF
the owners of real estate and of the
residents of the block in which the
saloon is situated and of the resi-
dents and owners of real estate of the
confronting side of the square.
In Iowa the license costs fee of
5000; in Minnesota fee of from 500
to $1,000; in Pennsylvania it costs
from $500 to $1,000; In the local op-
ton states, as the name implies, the
traffic exists at all only in localities
where it is especially allowed, and
then under fees and restrictions. In
Massachusetts, for instance, the To-
cal option fee is $1,000. and the num-
her of saloons is limited to one for
every 1000 of population outside of
Boston, where one to every 500 is al
lowed.
This brief view of the condition of
the liquor traffic in the country today
shows how greatly it is restricted;
shows also how liberal Indiana really
is Our legislators have done we'll
to adopt the two years remonstrance
feature, but with that trey should re-
alize that the traffic is treated with
greater leniency here than in the vast
majority of states, and the Indiana
liquor dealer should realize when he
is we'll off.-South Bend Times.

TO BE ENLARGED.
Steady Stream of Demented People
are Pouring into the Institution.

Longcliff asylum is having large
addition erected for the new inmates
that are constantly pouring into that
institution. The percent of increase
in demented of late years is in ex-
cess of the percent of increase of
i'll the state. This is caused
in a great part through the efforts
of Hoosiers to excel
AT the meeting recently the trus-
tees discussed the matter of hurrying
the erection of the two new buildings
at Longcliff in order to provide suf-
ficient room for patients committed
there. Authorities at Longcliff and
other insane hospitals throughout the
state do not thinl: there will be any
relief given the crowded condition
of the hospitals by the establishment
of the epileptic village and they have
lost all interest in the matter. The
superintendent say that it is not the
patients who are really in need of
treatment who will be benefited
they say the only means of obtaining
relief is by enlarging the capacity of
the hospitals-not the erection of a
new one, as that one would only pro-
vide for a certain district, but enlarg-
ing capacity of each of the four hos
pitals already established.

Death of A Pioneer Settler.

Mrs. Sallie z. Bailey died at the
Rath Sabin Home in Laporte, Ind,
Monday August 81, 1905. The de-
ceased was born Jan. 1, 1907 ard at
the time of her death was nearly
ninety eight years old She was born
in Otsego county, New York and
came to Indiana in 1885, with her
husband Dirnothy Bailey, settling in
Terre Haute.
Her husband was man of promi-
nence in his time holding several pub
lie positions of importance. They
moved to Laporte county some years
later and thence to Marshall county
where Mr.. Bailey resided until his
death in 1868.
Mrs. Bailey was lady of exem-
plary Christian character whose gen.
tie and cheerful disposition and pur-
ity of life endeared her to large
circle of friends.
Her husband and daughter have
met her in that better land where
partings come no more forever.
Her son James v. Bailey, two sis
tiers, Mrs. c. v. Pierce of this city
ard Mrs. Lucy Griffin of Laporte and
one brother, DeLos VanValkenburge
survive her.
The remains arrived from Laports
on the L. E. & w. at 1o47 Wednes

Peace is now assured. The signing
of the treaty of Portsmouth is only
a question of fewdays l make these
a question of few days. These
statements are made upon positive
knowledge of conditions.
1t is true the agreement which is to
lead to peace has not as yet been
formally reached by the plentipoten-
taries of Russia and Japan. Until it
shall be reached it must be remem-
bered that new and unforeseen COM
plications may arise. But, fortunate
ly, the danger of failure is now al
most negligible.
The important points on which the
were pending have been
disposed of in the following manner:
INDEMNITY.
Russia is to make money payment
to Japan, not far from $350,0oO,0 900,
which is not to be an indemnity but
for the keep of Russian prisoners of
war and other things.
SAKHALIN ISLAND.
Dispute is to be settled by divi-
sion of the island, Russia retaining
the northern part and Japan the
southern, the status prior to 1875.
RUSSIA'S NAVAL FORCE.
Japan withdraws her demand for
limitation of the cars navy in the
Orient.
INTERNED WAR SHIPS.
Japan recedes from the demand
that the Russian ships which found
safety in neutral ports should be Civ
en- over to her.

Beech Trees Immune From Light
ming


The killing by lightning of two
men in Peru Tuesday, following so
quickly on the killing of Walter Nc
Cutcheon of Wabash county, and
Harry Hall of Peru, by lightning
has caused considerable comment.
1t has resulted at least in the dis
cussion of places of safety in electri-
cal storms.
Lightning plays some queer pranks
but there is one prank it has never
yet perpertrated, according 20 the
statement of an old resident of this
county, and that is the striking of a
beech tree. Jove's powerful bolt has
shattered the strongest oaks, fired
buildings without respect to its kind
or purpose, defied lightning rods and
even burned great patches in fields
of growing grain, played havoc with
the telephone and telegraph wires
and occasionally left cities in dark
ness by burning out the fuses of the
lights or injuring the machinery at
power houses.
1t seems to have respect for the
beech tree only, and it said the In
dams break for a beech tree during
thunder storm in preference to any
other. Science has failed to salts
factorily explain why this is the case.
If anyone can tell why it is or can
prove true that the lightning ever
struck a beech tree he will confer a
great favor and possibly be the means
of saving some one a shock some
time.-Logansport Journal.
