Meeting of Tobacco Growers

The Bourbon County Society of
Equity held meeting yesterday at the
Court house, President John A. Larue
presiding. Hon. &. M. Thomas made
a rousing speech and a number of
farmers who were out of the pool sign
ed their crops. The following resolu-
tons were adopted:
Whereas, 1t has come to our notice
that certain parties are buying or max
ing efforts to buy tobacco outside the
pool. This in our judgment is greatly
to the disadvantage of the Society of
Equity by whose efforts the price of
tobacco has been greatly increased and
Whereas, at meeting held in this
this house on November court day
1T was unanimously agreed that
no crop of tobacco would be rails
ed grown in 1908, the same action hav-
ing been taken by all counties of the
Burley District, which action can not
but result in the sale of our tobacco
in the near future. Now therefore be
it
Resolved, by the Bourbon county
members of the Society of Equity in
mass conventional assembled, that we
respectfully request the indepen dent
growers to stand with US and withhold
their tobacco from the market, believ-
ing that such action on their part will
result in obtaining better price ulti-
mately for their products than it will
at present bring and further that such
action on their part will promote good
feeling in our community and prevent
any lawlessness. to which we are unalt-
erabiy opposed.

gan TO notice the odor of gas for the
first time. and picking the old lady up
she took her out doors and at once
went for help.
An ambulance was called and the
lady was taken to ST. Margarets hospi-
tai where DR.. Kelley was called. He
only succeeded in restoring her after
about two hours work
The physician said that her chances
for living were very small as she was
very old the escaping gas had a worse
effect upon her than it would have had
on a younger person.
The escaping gas was caused by leav-
ing one Of the side doors of the base
burner open, letting the gas escape and
probably asyphyaxiating her a few
minutes after she retired.
Reports from the hospital this after
noon state that Mrs. Schnieders' con
dition is very serious and that she is
not expected to live through the night.
This is the first asyphyaxiation from
a stove that has occurred in Hammond
for some time although there have been
several from escaping gas caused by
meters not being closed. This will
likely serve as warning to other peo-
pie who use hard coal

Harbor Blaze Cuts Off Com
munication Between Sta
tions for Two Roads.
WAITINC ROOM BURNS
Detached Building at Michigan Ave
nue. Station of |. H. and G. /.
& S. Destroyed.

The entire telegraph and telephone
service of the Indiana Harbor and the
&c. I. & S. railroads has been put out
Of commission by fire that destroyed
the waiting room of the Michigan ave
nue. station, at Indiana Harbor, which
is used Jointly by these two roads
The fire itself was not much of a
blaze, owing to the prompt response
and efficient work of the fire depart
ment, but the disastrous feature of
it is the Gripping of the telegraph ser
vice of the two roads. They are as
absolutely cut off from all communica-
ton with stations along their lines as
they would be We're there no such a
thing as the telegraph and telephone
in existance.
The stations affected in the case of
the G. I. & S. extent as far as DanviIle.
H., which is the terminus Of the line
and which runs via Chicago. All of
the stations along the Indiana Harbor
railroad are likewise cut off.
Stove Got Too Hot.
The blaze was caused by an over
heated stove which stood in the wait
ingroom and which is detached from
the rest of the station. All of the
wires belonging to the two railroad
companies pass directly over the wait
ing room and the heat from the flames,
and the flames themselves burned out
all of them.
The railroad companies will be incon-
venienced for a couple of days, most
likely, as the damage will require some
time in it's repair In the mean time it
is impossible to dispatch train orders
and for this reason, the service Of the
railroads affected, both in their freight
and passenger departments is liable to
suffer considerably. The inconvenience
Will also be keenly felt by shippers do
ing business with the two companies.
While waiting for the regular wires
to be repaired, special wire will be
connected up between the station and
Hammond, and messages will be sent
to the more important towns in the ter
ritory tapped by the disabled railroads
by a circuituous way.
Some Of the little towns, however,
cannot be communicated with at all
until the damage is fully repaired The
companies are doing all in their power
to remedy matters as speedily as pos
sible.
The waiting room that was burned is
separate from the rest Of the station
and until recently was used as an
Office by the general foreman of the
roundhouse. A short time ago, how
ever, it was transformed into a wait
ing room. Considerable excitement pre-
vailed for a time in the Harbor as it
was feared the blaze would be commun-
icated to the main depot.

Mixed the Infants Up.

At Southport England. some years
ago. births took place in two families
living In the same house. In one case
twins arrived. and single in the 9th
cr. The three children were being
washed and dressed. and the father
of the twins coming in. the three were
placed in one bed with the idea OF
leading him to believe that his wife
had given birth TO triplets. The joke,
for that was all which was intended,
succeeded to the full-for the time at
least-and then came the question OF
separating the infants and restoring
them TO their respective mothers.
Here difficulty presented itself. and
the women In attendance were
shocked to find themselves unable TO
say which was which. A Liverpool
paper says the Identification has not
yet been satisfactorily established.
and IL is a case in which even a Solo
mon might be puzzled.
