PHYSICIANS PUZZLED.
Eruptive Disease Resembling Small
Pox but Which Is Declared Not
to be, Appears in Indiana.

Peru, Ind. September 1.-(SpLl-
An eruption disease, closely resem-
bling small pox, and yet not small pox,
as the doctors agree, prevails in a
virulent form in Huntington county.
When it first appears the body is
covered with sores. They in turn be-
come crusts, and these falling off leave
the flesh raw and sore. 1t is not an
infrequent sight to see a baby with
its face almost entirely crimson from
the ravages of the disc ase. Cases are
varied in their advancement, but all
local dealers agree that the average
case is by no means mild. Physicians
agree that the disease is contagious
and say that it is almost impossible
to prevent it's spread. Entirely heal
thy persons are to an extent immune.
By most physicians it is said to be
parasitic disease. That is it is spread
by a living and microscopic insect or
parasite
The disease is of such a nature
that it cannot be handled by the health
authorities who think that it is not
serious enough to warrant compulso-
ry isolation although some doctors be-
lieve this is the only way to prevent
its spread.

BEGIN LIFE IN AN AUTO:
New Castle Couple Take First Sage
of Honeymoon Trip Overland
to Richmond.

New Castle, September 1.-The
home of Frank P. Modlin and family,
west of the city, is the scene of a
wedding this morning at 5 o'clock,
when their daughter, Miss Ethel, be-
came the bride of Roscoe ID. Edwards,
well known school teacher at Moore
land, where he has been resided for
several years and is highly regarded.
Rev. Pierson, of Indianapolis, officiat-
ed at the wedding and it was in the
presence of about seyenty-five close
friends that the ceremony was per-
formed. The rooms were delightfully."-
decorated for the occasion and the
guests and bridal party spent the
most of the afternoon in the shade
about the house.
A wedding supper was served at 6
o'clock and Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards be-
gan their honeymoon in an automo-
bile, going to Richmond, where the
car was abandoned for the train. They
will go to Virginia where two weeks
will be spent before their return.
They will reside at Mooreland.

look as though Congress at its next
session were to be made aware of
Granger movement number two, along
the same lines This time, however.
the Granger interests will make their
wishes felt concerning water transpor-
tation instead of that by rail-the
question which they tackled in the
seventies The requests which are
already being received here for
speakers who will explain at the meet
ings of various oranges, the details
of the benefits which would accrue
to the farmer through national sys
tenn of water transportation, make 1t
plain that Congress at its next sess-
ion will in all probability have to deal
in this come ction with the class
which at least likes to oppose the ag-
riculturists. Not a few Congressman,
and at least one possible Senator it is
known. are making their campaigns
chiefly on a platform of such increas-
ed appropriations for waterways inn
movements as well enable the far
mers and. indeed, shippers generally,
TO take advantage Of the natural facil-
tiles for cheap transportation which
the rivers Of the country offer, and SO
to move their freight at only frac-
ton OF the present rail cost Indeed.
as Congress draws nearer, one of the
strongest demands which IS beginning
to be felt for assistance-and educate
assistance-from the government in
making cheap water transportation
possible.

MR.. ZUEBLtN AGAIN.

The New York Sun editorally refers
to Prof. Charles Zueblin's attack on
| Speaker Cannon as follows:
| Professor Charles Zueblin of Chica
go University is quoted as saying to
5000 persons at the Richmond, Ind
Chautauqua that the mention of the
name of Joseph G. Cannon in connec-
ton with the Presidency is an insult
mons habits and standing" The
strong words in which the Speaker
INDUCES are one of the reasons of this
denunciation. Mr.. Zueblin takes the
wrong view of Mr.. Cannon's candi-
dancy for President and the enthusi-
asm of the Illinois Republicans in his
behalf.
The fact is that Mr.. Cannon's boom
is the reward he receives for the eff
forts at reform he has made in the
last twenty years. That he is vulgar
and profane in his speech now is not
denied, but the progress he has made
toward the standards observed by edu-
Gated and cultivated men has been so
great, his efforts for decency have
been so unquestionably genuine, his
perseverance in the face of numerous
obstacles has been so admirable, that
his neighbors and constituents felt
constrained to recognize and publicly
applaud by nominating him for the
highest office in the country
1t is little credit to man who has
never contracted disgusting habit to
refrain from practicing it. But the
man who has fallen into evil, and then
manfully fights for deliverances, de-
serves all praise. Such is the situa-
ton of Mr.. Cannon. His boom is not
IAN insult to the nation but an ex-
ample an inspiration to all his coun-
trymen, for it proves conclusively that
honest, sincere and persevering efforts
will bring compensation, though they
may not result in the achievement of
perfection. Not Joe Cannon the user
of vile and profane words is nominal
ted for the Presidency, but Joe Can
non the heroic struggler for better
things.

A BLOW TO BRYAN.

Early in the stage of Bryan's boom,
there has come a great counteracting
infuence-the rebuffs that the great
conservative newspapers of the coun-
try at large have given him. The
New York Times is one of these. 1t
had been expected to throw its infiu-
ence to Bryan, but the Nebraskan' S
radical address the other night has
part, the New York Times yesterday
spoke as follows:
Returning to his native land Mr..
Bryan presents himself to his coun-
trymen no longer as a Democrat but
as the founder and leader of new
party, the exponent of a new National
policy, and the advocate of new and
revolutionary principles. In his judg-
ment 1.-The overshadowing evil of the
day is the Trust with the plutocratic
tendencies that result there rom,' and,
believing that the Trusts are fostered
and sustained by private monopoly in
railroad transactions, he attacks the
evil by proposing National ownership
of the trunk-line railroads and State
ownership of local lines. Mr. Bryan
recently said that he was more radi-
cal than ever. This is his radicalism.
1t is not Democracy-that is certain
Government control over interstate
commerce corporations is Republican
doctrine as well as Democratic doc.
trine. for it is imbedded in the Consti-
tuition. But public ownership of the
time been an article of faith with eth
er party, and by portending the eff
Placement of State lines it stands in
irreconcilable conflict with that cont
ury-old foundation principle of Democ-
racy that insists upon state rights and
the limiting of the Federal power to
its strict Constitutional prerogatives.
Considered as a piece of tactics.
Mr.. Bryan's new doctrine was almost
forced upon him by necessity, and
presents way of escape from the
helpless position in which he appeared
to have been placed by Mr. Roose-
velt's advancing radicaIism The
President had taken the wind out of
his sails, but upon this tack he has
the wide ocean to himself. That he
had to do it well be the comment of
political observers. A Presidential
campaign in which Mr. Bryan should
content himself with following in the
wake of Mr. Roosevelt would be
tame and listless performance. and he
would be the subordinate performer.
Now, at least, he will attract attention.
Mr. Bryan has possibly done his
best to create an issue. but We are not

Belgium seems TO be in a fair way
TO solve the all-absorbing servant
problem, according to advice received
from CONSUL McNally In that tight
little country, a servant comes on
trial for eight days, during which time
she can be discharged for cause. If
retained beyond that time, however,
there must, by the law of the land. be
eight days notice given on either side,

deed, Belgium seems TO have solved
the labor problem pretty we'll, since
no emolament arising for labor, is
more sought after the Belgium work
man than the the industrial decora
ton conferred annually on a certain
number of workmen who have per-
formed good and faithful services TO
one firm or employer for at least thir-
ty years uninterruptedly. OF course,
with strikes, as common as they are
in this country, it is not believed that
any great number of medals would
be necessary even were the system
instituted, but in Belgium the result
is gratifying. So healthy has been

curious condition of affairs exist in
England from the same cause that has
left her far behind in electric railways
as compared to the United States;
that is, the municipal ownership craze
since the privately owned telephone
is to a great extent used for the trans
mission of long distance messages
which in this country are naturally
sent by telegraph. The government,
indeed, finds increasing difficulty, ac-
cording to reports received here in
competing through its own telegraph

These are not such piping times of
peace after all, it would appear. At
least, the general staff of the army
has just completed arrangements with
the mint Ia Philadelphia for the pro-
duction of new series of service med
ais to decorate the houses of those
members of the army who have taken
part in the disturbances which have
been going on in what is fast becom-
ing the war center of the world the
Orient. The medals, which will APP
ply, of course, to other ructions, will
be distinctive, so that a glance at one
will serve to show where it's owner
gained it, since there are to be separ-
ate decorations struck off for the
Spanish war, the Philippine insurrec-
ton mot war, take notice., the China
relief expedition, the Indian wars and
for meritorious services at other
times-an indication that bellicose
happenings have been going right
along in spite of the attempts of the
Hague tribunal to universalize the
dove of peace. One new departure is
to be made in the new medals, in
stamping the name of the recipient
on the edge, where a portion of the
milling is to be removed for the pur-
pose, since artists have agreed that
to place the name of either face would
destroy the artistic effect of the de-
sign. The Philippine medal on the
diverse side shows a palm tree, bal
ance scales, and an ancient lamp,
surrounded by the words philippine
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Since no
one has heard that the instruction
ended in 1904 or at any subsequent
time, the reason for the later date re-
mains a mystery. The Spanish me-
dial shows on it's diverse face a Span
ish castle, the Chinese relief medal

medal, an Indian on horseback. The
reverse side of all four medals will
be the same-with the conventional
