from the children, and. going to find
the cause, Milton was found endeavor-

away from them Upon inquiring the
trouble Milton said:

Statement and Plea in

THEY ARE HOPEFUL OF MAKING

In It's official organ. the Indiana Is

its legislative program. This is what
is desired
/. An effective blind tiger" law.
2. City and county features to the
remonstrance law. A statement and
plea are then made, which are, in
part, as follows:

outlook is bright and we are confident
of victory. However, much depends
upon our friends and particularly upon
the pastors. If there shall be a
prompt and hearty response to our
requests for information and co-opera-
ton, there can be no doubt as to the
result.
The liquor interests see in the
county remonstrance law the hand
writing on the wall. They know it
means the doom of the beverage liquor
traffic in Indiana. Hence, they will
fight it with all the influence and pow
er they possess. We believe we will
secure the blind tiger law without
much difficulty.
Fight Over the County Feature.
AS we have said all along, we may
be able to secure the city feature with
out Incorporating it in our bill. The
county feature is the one over which
the battle will wax hot. Because the
enemy will concentrate their forces
to defeat this measure is the one all
convincing argument why we should
unite our forces to secure it's passage.
again, our friends must remember
that we can not carry forward the

what We owe TO Insects.

Professor Darwin said that if it had
not been for insects we should never
have had any more imposing or attrac-
tive flowers than those of the elm. the
hop and the nettle Lord Avebury
compares the work OF the insect to
that of the florist. He considers that
just as the florist has by selection pro-
duced the elegant blossoms of the gar
den. so the insects by selecting the
largest and brightest blossoms for fer
tilization have produced the gay flow
ers of the field. Professor Plateau of
Client has carried out a series of re-
markable experiments on the ways of
insects visiting flowers. He considers
that they are guided by scent rather
than by color, and in this contention
he is at variance with certain British
naturalists. Whatever may be the at
fractions In flowers to insects-as vet
it appears undefined-it is certain that
the latter visit freely all blossoms alike,
making no distinction between the
large, bright colored ones and the less
conspicuous blooms like those OF the
currant. the lime, the plane tree. the
nettle and the willow.

SUICIDE OF
GEO. W. DELAMATER

PITTsBURG, Aug S.-After taking
his life insurance policies from the safe
and stacking them .on a desk George
Delamater, formerly state Sem
ator and a defeated Republic( can
didate for governor, put revolver
to his head yesterday and shot him
self dead.
Friends OF the family ascribe the
act TO grief caused by the death of his
father, George b. Delamater, and his
son, James, within the last two months.
His on-in-law. Shirley p. Austin, ad-
mitted that business reverses added
TO the motive for suicide. The state
ment was only in accord with what
has been an open secret in the busi-
ness world for some time.
Mr.. Delamater was the Republican
candidate for Governor of Pennsyl-
vania in 1890. backed by Senator Nj. S.
Quay His opponent was Robert e.
Pattison. At that time Mr. Delamater
was in the banking business at Mead
vile with his father and brothers. The
firm was one of the most prosperous Of
country bankers in the State. The
campaign for Governor was a bitterly
fought one. Great inroads were made
on the resources Of the Delamater firm
and not long after election day the
bank failed

Replying TO your communication Of
the 29th instant relative to the whip
ping post experience Of Adam Ward. !
beg to state that Adam Ward is a man
OF 23 years Of age, convicted of high
way robbery and under our laws was
sentenced to 40 lashes. and the same
was administered IN as gentle a man
ner as possible by the warden Of the
jail. and ne is now serving out his Inn
prlsonment in connection with the
same. The story was very much ex-
laggerated and overdrawn.
Yours very truly.
