Shin Grain on Credit.

Millions of bushels of wheat from
the west, Saturday began their jour
ney to market Vast stores of the
grain will go TO Europe to feed the
people there Others will stop in
Minneapolis and St. Paul, to be
ground into flour Still others will go
on to Chicago and other wheat and
flour centers 1T is perhaps. the great
est movement OF grain the world has
known And it will be accomplished
without the use of one penny in cash.
For a fortnight the basis of the
worlds food supply has been stagnat-
ed in the northwest, because farmers
have refused to accept checks for
their grain and there has been no
cash in circulation TO give them.
Through an arrangement engineer
ed by James J. Hill, each bank in the
twin cities-St Paul and Minneapolis
has agreed TO furnish pro rata
share of credit, to make total of
s., 100000 The railroads have fur
nished like amount Checks are Civ
en- to the grain dealers, in lieu OF
cash, and are paid by the grain men
to the farmers Arrangements have
been made with small dealers through
out the northwestern wheat belt to
accept these checks as cash, because
they are guaranteed by the $4,000, 900
credit.
Twin cities jobbers and jobbers in
other cities have agreed to accept the
checks from the small merchants as
cash, and the jobbers. on receiving
them. will deposit them with the
banks.
In this way the checks will keep
travelling in a circle, that. it is figured,
will enable the banks and the rail
roads to re-extend the s4,OO0,OO0 cred
it about every eight days.
Eastern credit has been arranged
satisfactorily, and, although no cash
at all is involved in the scheme. every
one concerned is as amply protected
as if it were.

Kentland Joins Dry Towns of Indiana

After an eight months struggle
Kentlard joins the dry towns of Indi-
ana. At the March meeting OF the
Commissioners Cour, blanket re-
monstrance was filed under the pro-
visions OF the Nicholson law. Her
man H. Hauser, an applicant for a
license at the March term, appealed
the case to the Circuit Court A Bit
ter hgh was made at the May term
of court and the jury returned a YER
diet of disagreement.
The case was recalled Monday and
nearly every man signing the remon-
STRANGE was called as a witness. The
hearing of evidence continued until
Thursday night Judge Darroch, of
Kentland. and attorney X. c. Minton,
OF Indianapolis, appeared for the re-
monstrators and attorney II. L. Sam
mons. OF Kentland, and F. B. Sellers
of Monticello, were counsel for the
saloon interests
Kentland is the last county-seat
town in northwestern Indiana to ap-
ply she remonstrance cure and he
roic fight was made by the liquor in
terests to break through the ranks of
the temperance forces and stem the
tide in their direction The result of
the energetic fight made by the liquor
interests at this trial resulted in hav-
ing twenty eight names stricken from
the remonstrance, but when footings
we're made it was found that the re-
m0>etrance still had a clear majority
of five.
The last two saloons in Kentland
closed their doors Monday night by
expiration of their license and for the
first time since the organization OF
the town in 1866 Kentland is without
a licensed saloon. Will H. AIDE, broth
er of George AIDE, led the remon-
STRANGE fight and directed the suit in
sustaining the same.

In discussing the subject How To
Deal with lncorrigibles, the Town
and City superintendent Association
IN session at Indianapolis. FRIDAY al
ternoon, decided that one of the prin-
cipal contributing causes of delin-
quency of children III the schools OF
the state is the woman who leaves
her child at home and goes off to her
club to play 'euchre.
Society women in general who neg
lect their children for cards or any
other kind of frivolous social diver
sion were scored by several of the
speakers.
a paper on How to Deal With
lncorrglbles" was to have been read
by Superintendent T. f. Work of the
Plainheld Boys school, but on ac-
count of sickness Mr.. York could not
be present. Superintendent T. F.
FHzgiDbons of the Columbus schools
took up the subject for Mr.. York
and said some plain things at the
expense of the socalled' society wom-
an"
Some of the society mothers had
better be at home taking care of
their children and keeping them out
of the alleys and streets, where they
form vicious habits than be awav at
the euchre club" he declared. He said
1t was often difficult to convince the
parents that child was incorrigible
or delinquent He gave an example
that came under his own notice as an
illustration. In this case the school
authorities discovered that young
girl. the daughter of parents who had
high social position in the town.
had become a cigarette smoker. The
mother was society woman" The
father was at the head OF a promi-
nent business firm The superinten-
dent of schools went to the father
and told him of his daughters hab-
its. The father became incensed and
all but ordered the superintendent out
of his office. Later he investigated
the case and found that all that had
been told him was true. The father
then went to see the superintendent
and promised that hereafter he would
take charge of his own home. The
child was persuaded to give UP Gig
arettes and no further trouble was
experienced with her
superintendent Fnzgibbon said tina.
other sources from which incorrigi-
bles come are poor homes; one-child
homes and misfit teachers. He said
that teachers who do not understand
pupils and who fail to see any good
traits they may have are often re-
Sponsible for failures in school.
Among the Others who discussed
the subject were Superintendent Nor
gan of Terre Haute, Superintendent
H. A. Henderson and Superintendent

WIN. OSBORNE SHOT.
In An Unauthorized Raid at ODER.

Word has come from Starke county
that there were big goings on" at
ODER, miles east of Knox, Thursday
night
The temperance wave had taken
such effect on some Union township
this county. residents, as we old time
revivals used to take, and a party of
these heard that a blind tiger was in
operation at ODER, in the house of
one Wright Accordingly, last Thurs
day night they proceeded to the home
of said Wright, which is a two-story
lance. Wright appeared at the up
stairs window and inquired into their
business. They answered that they
knew he was selling liquor, and were
about to search his premises.
Accordingly a fence post was pro-
cured and the attacking party COM
menced hostilities against the front
door Wright warned them to let off
or he would shoot The battering
ram was again brought into play how
ever, when Wright fired through the
door The bullet struck VIM. Os-
borne in the arm. A few more shots
fired into the clouds, dispersed the
crowd.
Wright was arrested, and bound
over to the circuit court, his bond
being placed at $500
What right Osborne and others had
to search the premises OF Wright,
is to be guessed.
