Food in Season and Out.

No doubt the cold-storage process
of preserving food has been bonus
to humanity; and yet in many in
stances it has been bane Chicago
has just condemned and destroyed
twenty thousand pounds of cold
storage chicken. But doubtless there
remain still in storage other thous
ands of pounds of food, animal and
vegetable, which ought to be de-
destroyed, but nevr will be. 1t will
be sold in the markets and consumed
by the people who demand food out
of season, or who are content.
Through ignorance with food that was
left over from last season So much
money is invested in such food by
the dealers that frequently they find
themselves overstocked, and when
the time comes to replenish their
supplies they can do nothing but car
ry over what they already have on
hand. That such stale food is en-
tireIy healthful when thus preserved
under the most favorable conditions
is extremely doubtful. Much of it has
reached stage if not of semi-putre-
faction, at least of semi--desiccation.
In either condition it has lost many

home of his son-in-law, Ambrose
Moore, on south Main street last
Sunday afternoon, at o'clock. He

Moore home and was in feeble health
when he came. He was able to be
about however, and had a great long

which was August %. for he thought

live, as will be seen, one month and

Sun for the Sick.

A trained nurse, talking as to the
real needs and duties devolving upon
one in the sickroom, says that first
of all there must be plenty of fresh
air and sunshine. Statistics show
that all things being equal, there are
fewer deaths and patients recover
more rapidly on the sunny side of
the house. While sunshine and air
are very important, yet you must
never chill the patient A low bed
with one thin, comfortable mattress,
with light cover, is best for the sick
A great deal of moisture is thrown
off from the body, and where feath-
ers are used and heavy bedding, they
can not be properly aired. Do not
keep food in a sickroom, and put all
medicines out of sight. Never use
hard water, but keep soft rain water

they are not unhealthy. unless the

Election Law Changed.

The last legislature made radical
changes in the manner of canvassing
the vote following all elections. 1t
will be found at the bottom of page
1S9 in the acts of 1905 and in chap
ter 113.
Heretofore the inspectors of the
various precincts have constituted
the canvassing board and they have
been required to meet on Thursday
following an election, tabulate the
returns and declare the result over
their signatures. The new law ap-
proved March 4, 1905, provides that
in each county in the state the coun-
ty board of election commissioners,
consisting of the clerk of the court,
one Democrat and one Republican,
shall constitute county board of
canvassers. They shall assemble in
the circuit court room in the court
house at 6 o'clock p. m. on the day
of election and remain continuously
in session, receiving the returns from
inspectors, who are required to de-
liver the returns from their precinct
as soon as they have been signed up.
1t is specifically stated by the law
that the clerks Office must be kept
open all night following an election
in order that there may be no delay
in receiving the returns. The duties
of these three men forming the can
yassing board are just the same as
were those of the larger body when
the board was composed of the clerk
and precinct inspectors, but they are
allowed to employ as many clerks as
are necessary, who are to be paid
such sum as the board may deter
mine but not to exceed fifty cents
an hour each for time actually en-
ployed.
One of the purposes of the new
law is to ascertain the official results
more quickly, and it is expected that
all returns will be in and the result
in the county definitely known more
promptly than heretofore.

chicago's Baseball Delirium.

The enthusiasm aroused in Chicago
when the National League baseball
team passed the winning point in the
percentage table, thereby cinching
the pennant, was milk-mild to the de-
liri1m when it was announced in
press dispatches Thursday that the
White Sox team has won the trophy
|of supremacy in the American
League, giving the Windy City both
emblems.
1t is the first time in the history
of the two major leagues that this
situation has existed. While the
post-seascn games for the worlds
championship will be distinctly a
Chicago affair, hundreds of thous-
ands of fans outside the immediate
family will be roofing for one team
or the other. Chicago will yelp it
self hoarse for both, and when the
last batter has been called out by
the umpire, there will probably be an
ovation unparalleled in the annals OF
the game.
Chicago's Il will" has cen under
scored again, and whether fanatic or
foe to the great national game loyal
citizens of the Windy City will Choir
as their huzzas in honor of the Drawn
and brain that made the double pen
ant achievement possible. Also it will
teach the self-centered East that Chi
cago accomplishments are not con-
fined to Beef Trust. municipal and

AN EXPRESSION FROM BOYS.
He Would Send Party to Hell If
Necessary to Rule County.

A letter from Foster Groves, who
was the last Republican county
chairman of Marshall county, SAYS
S. E. Boys visited him in Tippecanoe
while he was there and they had a
talk in regard to the county chair
manship. He asked Boys why the
state chairman recognized Hen
bricks as county chairman for two
months and then fired him. Bows
said that was done to keep Hen
bricks from opposing the renomina-
ton of Mr. Brick.
Mr.. Grove told Boys that he had
no love for Hendricks, but Hen
bricks having been elected chairman
the party should have stood by him
and helped him elect the county
ticket. If Hendricks was man enough
to be elected chairman his opponents
ought to have been men enough to
stand by the party loyalty and if pos
sible elect Republican county Off
GERS. Boys said to him
"We would rather see everything
go to hell than to have Hendricks
rule the party" The above expires
sion is stronger statement that the
Boys gang is determined to rule or
ruin than we have ever attributed to
them; and it was made to man who
as county chairman always stood by
the Chronicle, Yockey, Pickerl and
Hess.

publican party will go to the polls

TEACHERS PLAY POKER.
Instructors in Jasper County Create
Sensation.

Charges against certain teachers
in Jasper county that they are habit
ual poker players and that they have
been caught in raids on poker dens
have created sensation in school
circles.
Startling developments are expect.
ed when the case of Prof b. N.
Fendig, whose license has just been
revoked on the grounds that he is a
gambler, comes up before the State
Superintendent of Instruction Cor
ton on an appeal from Jasper coun-
ty. lbs.
The license of Prof. Fendig, one
of the most popular teachers in the
county and who has held a state IL
cense for several years, was revoked
by County Superintendent Hamilton
Fendig and his friends charge that
the superintendent is prosecuting the
professor and that the whole affair
is spite work. Hamilton, however,
denies the persecution charge and
says that the evidence will prove
that not only Fendig, but other
teachers in the county have been fire.
quent patrons of the game.
Superintendent Hamilton says that
Prof. Fendig has been in the habit
of frequenting the gambling room
over a saloon in Rensselaer,, and
few nights ago when the police raid
ed the room, Fendig, who learned
that the raid was contemplated, hur-
ried to the place to warn friend of
his danger and ran into the arms of
the police.
Prof Fendig refused to surrendc-
his license on demand of the county
superintendent and demanded a trial
Officers Wick, Parks and Zea testified
that the professor had the reputation
of frequenting the joint over the sa-
loon; that they found, a memoran-
dunn in the gaming joint which
showed that Fendig was indebted to
the game in the sum of $25, and that
there were memoranda against 9th
ers of like import. Officer Tea tes-
tilted that Fendig was in the habit
of frequenting the game and several
weeks ago he warned him to remain
away or he would be arrested
Frequenters of the saloon testified
that the memorandum was for social
games of poker playel in the rooms
below The gambling joint for drinks
and for cigars and that the numbers
represented checks due the different
players.
In the meantime there is very de.
cided division of sentiment in Jasper
county regarding the merits of the
case. 1t is said that Prof. Fendig
intended to be candidate for coun-
ty superintendent against ar. Hanil-
ton and that the latter took this
method of sidetracking a formidable
opponent.
The raid on the gambling rooms is
said to have brought to light the
fact that several teachers have been
frequenting the place and it is stated
by friends of Hamilton that gamb-
ling has become so comon with Jas
per county teachers that nothing but
heroic action can break it up.

O'Keefe Wins.

The case of the State of Indiana
versus William O'Keefe on COM
plant of Clay Metsker, for provoke
came before the Marshall circuit
court Thursday on appeal from JUS
tice Young.
Those who heard the evidence say
that there was nothing to convict
O'Keefe and the jury being of the
same opinion acquitted him.
Judge Hess made ringing, ear
nest plea on the part of the state for
conviction, but he could not convict
without evidence. E. c. Martindalc
was O'Keefe's attorney and ne scored
Metsker to finish for trying to pre-
vent free speech in Democratic
convention. Metsker will now have
another chance to tell what a jury
ought TO know.
1t is really strange that so many
juries have opinions different from
the editor of the Democrat.

What Will Tammany Do?

Tammany and William Randolph
Hearst formed an alliance when Mr..
Hearst was nominated for governor
by the New York democratic ma
chine. And the question is why?
Herast attacked Tammany through
his newspapers ever since he became
a factor in politics. He had no open
clash with the retired Chief Croker,
but he has been especially venomous
against the present Tammany leader,
Charles F. Murphy. In his news
paper Hearst has made wild demands
that Murphy be sent to the penlten-
tiary as felon, and he has insinuat-
ed in as blunt language as ever was
used by Solomon or Paul that Muir
ply was all that was base and wrong
Now Murphy is supporting Hearst
Murphy gave Hearst the nomination
Peculiar political situations are
more numerous in the Empire state
than elsewhere, but this is the
strangest and weirdest of them all
Enemies, vindictive and unforgiving
as the thugs in the early days OF
knowledge of India, come to each
others aid
Does anyone suppose that either
Mr. Hearst or Mr.. Murphy has any
thing but self-interest at heart.
Hardly. Then arises the mystery OF
this strange political matrimony.
The belief is that Murphy will lenl
such Intellectual support to Hearst tina.
Hearst will be beaten. Thenceforth
he will not have to be reckoned witt,
in politics. The independent candi-
dacy of William T. Jerome will find
its death bed at the same time, and
the chief mourner will be Mayor Nc
Clellan who is not beloved by Mr.
Murphy.
The playing of the game should be
interesting to the innocent bystand
err.
There never were two more incon-
gruous political running mates than
Hearst and Murphy. They seem to
be going at the present time in the
same general direction. but they arc
manifestedly under the control OF
different drivers and no one knows
just how long they will be able TO
run or trot or walk, or whatever
their gait may develop to be, in the
same direction.

in these words commends Governor
Hanly: What Governor Hanly has
to say about gambling industries
that he put out of business at French
Lick and West Baden may hurt some
in quarters where the blow in the
first place fell hardest, but the peo-
pie OF Indiana are all with the goy-
ernor They honor him for wiping
out disgrace that too long had tar
nished the otherwise good name OF

harbor gambling enterprises modelled
upon the business as it is conducted

sary to the prosperity of the state

Senator Parks Position.

The most unique position occupied
by any of the jumpers" is that held
by Senator Parks After entering
an agreement with Judge Hess soon
after the division in the party, that
both would remain wholly neutral
and remaining so for several months
he broke faith with Mr.. Hess and es-
poused the cause of the jumpers. He
broke faith with the party that elect
ed him to the honorable position he
occupies, because not the miserable
rump end, but the whole Republican
party gave him their franchise. Why
he deserted the proper neutral
ground cannot be credited to his de-
sire for the paltry dollars but rather
to his inability to resist the bland
ishmerts of the state committee. His
bump of egotism was too great to
resist the wiles of the great and only
"Jim Goodrich" and visions of the
governorship danced-way over-his
head, and in the brief space of few
weeks he has deposed himself from
the honorable position of State Sen
ator, to a dishonorable position on
the political scrap-heap. Fie upon
you Senator Parks; man holding
your honorable position ought to be
above even the suspicion of the re-
proach, to which you of your own
volition have laid yourself liable. You
can never again expect to receive the
full franchise of your party you once
SO freely received. "How are the
