STOLE HORSE UNDER
THEIR VERY NOSES
Laugh Is on Horse Thief De-
teCtiVe Association.
MAURICE GOODWIN'S LOSS.

Although a great crowd of horse
thief detectives was in New Castle
Monday night some one stole Maurice
Goodwin's horse, valued at $500. The
animal was tied in a box stall, which
was closed and fastened on the out
side. Tuesday morning the stall WAS
empty and there is no indication that
the horse got out unaided. The most
common belief is that he was stolen.
At any rate he's gone and Goodwin has
been unable to get trace of him any
where.
The thief probably thought to turn
a trick right underline eyes of the de-
tectives 1t was turned all right and
the affair created considerable amuse-
ment. Goodwin hopes that he's mis-
taken about the theft, but can find 20
other solution. or has been unable to
I'D to this time. The animal is a
valuable one and was kept at the Good
win home within two squares Of the
court house where the National Horse
Thief Detective Association was in an
nual convention.

TIE RIOT ACT.
1t Was Passed by the British Parlia-
nent In 1714.


What is commonly meant by "read-
ing the riot act" is better known than
the origin of the phrase. The historic
al riot act was passed by the British
parliament in the reign Of George |.
in 1714. 1t enacts that felony is COM
mtted when twelve or more persons
unlaWfullE. riotOuSly and tumultuOus-
ly assemble together to the disturbance
of the public peace, so to continue to-
gather for an hour after being COM
manded to disperse by the sheriff or
undersheliff or a justice or the mayor
of the borough.
In the reading" of the British riot
act, which is a necessary preliminary
to it's being put into operation, it is not
customary to rccite the whole Of the
statute, which is rather a long one.
but only the following proclamation.
which it contains: Our sovereign lord
the king chargeth and commandeth all
persons being Assem- bled Immediately
to GisDerse themselves and peaceably
to depart to their habitations or to
their lawful business upon the pains
contained in the act made in the first
year of King George for preventing
tumuts and riotous assemblies. God
save the king!'-ChicagO News.

REST AND SLEEP.
Only Rational Cures For Brain Fas
and Nervous Exhaustion.


and Nervous Exhaustion.
Sleep is the best and cheapest med
icine, and it is within the reach OF
every body. We require as much sleep
as we can procure. We may work at
high pressure If we sleep enough, but
If we overwork and undersleep irrita-
bility, insomnia and neurasthenia are
almost certainly in store. One Of the
prime causes of i'll health among men
and women who have TO work with
their brains is neglect of sleep. The
woman who curtails her sleep begins
TO worry.
Insufficient sleep in the first instance
is a common ca;:gc Of Insomnia. Rest
ard sleep are the only rational cures
for brain fag and nervous exhaustion.
It IS the highly developed mind that is
liable to worry. the alert, highly

Neglect of sleep is perhaps the most
fatal error made nowadays by busy
people. Sleep is the only rational cure

CONDITION AT kokoMo is uADE
THE BASIS FOR A SUIT THAT
WILL HAVE A BEARING ON FU-
TURE NEGOTIATIONS,

Indianapolis. Oct. "a gigantic bat
tie which will sooner or later affect the
control of practically every telephone
system in Indiana was opened in the
superior court here yesterday. when
the New Long Distance Telephone
Company of Indianapolis filed suit
against the Central Union Telephone
company of Indianapolis and the Citi-
zens' Telephone company of Kokomo,
in an effort to restore to itself the en-
joyment of it's former exclusive con-
tract with the Kokomo company.
The New company is the independ-
ent concern of Indiana. The Central
Union is Bell company. The ques-
tions that will be raised and decided in
this suit involving the Kokomo ex-
change are questions which have aris-
en- in the past in relation to the bust
ness of other exchanges. the Central
Union. during the last year or two,
having succeeded in invading terrific
ry which the management Of the New
company supposed belonged to that
company forever.
This suit is merely the first gun in
a fight between the two big compa-
MES" said NJ. L. Clawson, attorney for
the independents, when asked about
the suit. The questions that will be
raised in this action apply to several
other deals of the future, so the suit
has behind it more than a mere con-
test for the business which the Citi-
Zens' company of kokomo can throw
| to one company or the other. The
suit will result in contest of the right
of the New company to make such ex-
elusive contracts as was made with The
Kokomo company and all the other i'm
portant questions which have arisen
! between the two big telephone compa-
MES in the last few months"

amusing enough.
For example, there is a village in
the eastern counties which rejoices in

How the Arc Light Is Produced es
tween the Electrodes.

tWcSn the Electrodes.
Everybody knows that an arc ligE
> formed by causing IN electric cul
rent to pass between the points of tw
carbon rods. One of these is Gale
the positive and the other the mega
five electrode. and the current passc
from the former to the latter. Part.
Giles of carbon are carried on from III,
positive electrode until its end be
comes cup shaped
To the little cup thus formed til,
name of crater is applied, and from,
this crater four-flfths of the light i
emitted. Tie negative electrode doe
not become 80 hot as the other. BE
tween the two little cloud of vapor
lied carbon is formed, rising from the
crater, and this vapor gives forth /;
golden yellow light But it Is over
powered by the light of the crater ii
self, which has violet tinge due to the
incandescence of solid particles of car
bon. The arc of light extended from,
one electrode to the other also has al
axis of violet color which is it's most
brilliant part. The fact that most OF
the luminosity comes from the crater
explains the reason why the light does
not appear equal in all directions. II
is brightest from that point Of view
which shows the largest portion of the
crater.
An interesting effect is often noticed
when flies or other insects hutter about
an arc light. Their shadows cast on a
neighboring wall appear gigantic. The
reason is that the light of the crater
is concentrated in a point smaller than
the bodies Of the insects, and the bound
aries of the shadows consequently
widen with increase Of distance.-St
Louis Republic

The reception was an elaborate af-
fair and was given by the Chinese
residents out of doors in native gar
den. The decorations were most pic
turesque, embroidered banners and a
multitude of Chinese lanterns making
the garden look like fairyland. The
promoters of the function were prom
inent Chinese merchants representing
forty-five of the guild formerly in the
boycott movement against the Amerl-
can manufacturers, which, in itself, is
rather significant Of the marked
change in the progress of the Empire
toward Western civilization.
Chinese Praise America.
Speeches of welcome were made in
English by local Chinese business
men and the representative of the
Viceroy. The Cinnamon emphasized
the cordial relations existing today
between China and the U1ited States,
saying the friendship of America had
been evidenced by sending relief to
the famine sufferers, the support Of
schools and hospitals and the waving
by the United States Of her part of the
Boxer indemnity.
In reply, Secretary Taft thanked the
Chinese for their rGIc pt!on, which he
said gratified him as an evidence OF
their friendship toward the American
people and government.
