Heavy Rain at Laporte.

Laporte and vicinity were WIS.,
tied Sunday afternoon by one of
the heaviest rains that has
struck this locality in years. The
rain began falling in torrents
shortly before noon and a little
later it was coming down in
sheets. So heavy was the down
pour that the streets were flood
ed, the sewers were choked up,
cellars and Easements were
flooded, a portion of the street
car roadbed and several wagon
road bridges washed away, new
ly laid foundations of houses
were washed away and other
damage done. The rain was a
welcome one, being much need
ed in the country.

The Champion. Corn Raiser.

The champion corn raiser in
the world is David Rankin, of
Atkinson county, Missouri. He
uses "pedigreed" corn for seed
that is, corn that by careful Sc
lection gives the biggest yield
and the most nutritious kernels.
According to the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, he started his
independent life with only a
yoke of cattle and an inferior
pillow, but by industry and intel
igence has advanced until he has
the largest corn farm in the
world. Corn and cattle have
made him a millionaire. He
feeds the corn and sells the cat
tie. His farm embraces about
forty square miles, or 10000
acres. On his farm this year ov-
err one and one-half million
bushels of corn are grown. This
equals the combined corn crop
of the states of Utah, Washing,
ton, Arizona, Idaho, Montana,
Rhode Island, Wyoming and
Nevada.

Valparaiso University.

Marshall County takes off
her hat" to the great University
at Valparaiso, Indiana, with its
three beautiful new buildings
now under process of construc-
ton. On September 4th, the
management of this highly sue
cessful institution enters upon
the 34th year of its efficient
school work, offering better adj
vantages to the young people o.
the surrounding country than
ever before and yet, with all its
superior equipment, the modest
price required for tuition places
these exceptional opportunities
within the reach of every one
who is earnestly in search of an
education.
The fact that graduates from
this institution are filling posi-
tons of trust all over the land
today is sufficient guarantee OF
the competency of the instruct
ors and the honesty of the man
agement which has our hearty
endorsement and well wishes for
its future prosperity.

Is He a Spell-Binder?

So sound a scholar and wise
man as President Eliot of Har-
ward, does not sympathize with
the Presidents new spelling no
ton. The English will not take
it up, he says, nor the publish
ers, among whom there will be
strong opposition because books
are now printed on both sides
of the sea from the same plates,
and this new spelling would re-
quire new set of plates; there
fore, etc. Not at all to speak evil
of dignitaries, we are yet re-
minded of the argument against
Stephenson's new locomotive :
Suppose mon, COO gets on the
trackp The reply was: Then,
goodbye co.," If there is any
thing in the spelling reform (and
those quick-witted Frenchmen
see much in IT'D does any one
think that it will be stopped be-
cause of the profits of book pub
fishers? Many of the changes
recommended by the board on
simplified spelling are already in
common though not general use.
The words have ceased to look
strange. Doubtless the Presi-
dents determination, if adhered
to, will greatly increase the vo-
que and popularity of the new
spellings. But unquestionably
the obstacles pointed out by
President Eliot will long stand
in the way of their universal ac-

BIG BANK CRASH.
Philadelphia Real Estate Trust
Company Fails for $10,-
0OO.OOG.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 3D.
Owing $10,000,000 to its deposit
tors, many of whom clamored
for their cash; unable to raise
more than half the deficiency
through guaranty of directors or
the clearinghouse members, un-
certain what would be the result
of its footing by its president,
Frank K. Nipple, the Real Els
tate Trust Company, corner of
Broad aid Chestnut STREETS this
city, closed its doors at 2.20 O.
clock Tuesday.
Nipple, the president, died
suddenly last Friday under con-
ditions which point strongly to
suicide, and discovery by the di-
rectors of the concern that its
president had Incorporated
millions of dollars Of its and its
depositors' money and lost or
tied up in unavailable schemes
vast sums was the cause of the
closing of its doors.
President Nipple in his desire
to use large amounts of the con-
GERMS cash had invented a sys-
tenn of double loans. He kept a
list of real loans and list of boz
gus loans. The real loans were
never seen by the directors. The
bogus loans were supposed to be
gilt edged.
To the auditor making exam
nations of the company's loans
Nipple would put in a list of
what appeared to be first class
loans in every respect and these
the auditor would certify as cor
rect. To the board of directors
Nipple would take the auditors
certificate that the loans were
correct and the directors at their
regular meetings would unsus-
pectingly and unhestitatingly
pass them.
In reality Nipple loaned the
company's money to an amount
corresponding exactly with the
bogus list on collateral of doubt
full value not negotiable. or read
lily convertible. Neither the au-
ditor nor the directors ever saw

In this way Nipple was able

who believed that the company
was lending its money judicious-
ly on unimpeachable collateral.
1t was not until they began an
examination of Nipples &C
counts after his death that the
directors were disabused of this
liallucination.
They discovered that loans
which they had supposed to be
gilt edged had not been made at
all. Then Nipples private list
of bad loans came to light. To
their horror and amazement, the
directors, themselves among the
most prominent of Philadelphia
capitalists and with exalted no
tons of financial ethics, found
that their company's money had
been going out under their very
moses into the Unsuitable nav of
speculative schemes which they
would have discountenanced
and upon poor collateral.

REPORT AGAINST sMooT

Under strong pressure from netitioDs
and resolutions adopted by various ra-
hs1ous organizations, the committee On
privileges and elections has finally
reached vote on Utah's senior senator
ana agreed to adopt what is known as
the Dubois resolution. This provides
Tor a report that Smoot lis not entitled
TO his seat" compromise between the
extremist who wished to report in fav-
or Of expulsion and the moderates who
either wished to report in his favor or
require a tWO-thirds vote for his az
pulsion. The committee also agreed
unanimously to ask for a vote on the
matter at this session.
The report carries the fight into the
senate where the argument will define
the effect OF the resolution and deter
mine whether it can unseat Smoot by =
majority or a twO-thirds vote. On this
point there will be a strong difference
Of opinion. Ordinarily expulsion re-
quires a two-thirds vote of the senate
but Shoots opponents who supported
the Dubois resolution take the ground
that only q majority will be required
20 make the report effective. This con-
tentiOn is based on the theory that the
Utah senator took his seat I'M
der protest that he has, therefore. new
er had clear title to his place. and
that he has not acquired the status Of
a senator who had taken his seat with
out opposition.
Constitutional lawyers in both parties
have expressed themselves loath to ex-
pei Smoot by a simple majority on the
charges against him, not because of
any special consideration for him but
because they believe 1t is a bad prece-
dent to establish since il would make
II possible for a bare majority to un-
seat any senator on frivolous pretexts.
Whether the senate Will adopt the
views OF Burrows, Dubois and their
supporters or not is yet to be deter
mined. With the influence of the pres
ident behind him. Senator SmoOt still
has more than a fighting chance and he
is not likely to abandon the fight until
the final vote is recorded.
The main point. the one Of most in
terest IN Utah. is the fact that there
is a prospect Of a final settlement of the
case. The whole state has suffered
from the delay and consequent agita-
tica over Shoots seat, It has kept con-
ditions in business and social and poll
teal life unsettled, II has made trouble
n every direction and the prospect Of
hnal decision Is about the best thing
that could happen.
