Hinges viii ON Piano Hatred.

Muncie, Ind, July 26.-The will
of Eli Thornburg, the wealthiest
farmer in Delaware county, was pro-
bated today and shows that he car
ried his aversion to pianos and or
.gans even 10 the grave. He bequeath-
ed his entire property, consisting OF
farms, Muncie business blocks and
cash and bonds to his daughter and
son-in-law on condition that they
never allow a piano or organ to come

to piano or organ craze" the property
is to revert at once 10 the others

OUR NEW NEIGHBORS.

Now. that Austrian immigrants
have purch ased more than 200 acres
of land in McCracken county and are
preparing 20 build residences, the
s'Doubting Thomases' may have Wis
ible evidence Of the reality of the i'm
migration movement, and those, who
were certain that the whole immi-
grafton movement was merely a
scheme TO bring cheap foreign labor
to Paducah. may lay aside their wor-
ries and join the "Doubting
Thomases" in the ranks of recruits
to the army of progress. That these
Immigrants have been able TO get
options on 300 acres Of practically
idle land within ten miles of Padu-
cab. speaks sufficiently to the ques-
ton of room for more people in this
section. There are many more thou
sands of acres in the Purchase that
would yield to intense farming, such
as is practised in densely populated
Europe. and every acre of it culti-
waited increases the wealth of the
community and the value OF farm
land. The south will never enjoy
her full share Of prosperity. until
she becomes self-supporting. For

HOT WEATHER SUGGESTIONS.

Every chance acquaintance. these
hot days, can tell you what to DO "a
keep well and cool, but the safest ad-
wise is keep close to Nature.
Nature says don't drink very
much ice water-use. the tempered
water.
Don't eat heating dishes. warm
meats, and heavy vegetables, but
confne yourselves to light vegeta-
bles and fruits, and cold meats.
Nature, also says, and its injunc-
ton is in strong terms, to keep the
system in good condition, the liver,
bowels, stomach, kidneys and skin as
every one contributes to health or III
health.
Osteopathy is Natures treatment,
and the most rational for all disease
especially the ailments incident to
hot weather. Those weak, tired out
and rundown conditions; dull head
aches; disturbed bowel conditions,
and torpid liver yield quickly to its
application.
But, let me tell you any time, Of
people you know well, who will
cheerfully tell you what Osteopathy
has dohe and is doing for them. That
is unpEejudiced evidence and will
appeal to you. DIR. G. b. Froage, SIC

Effort.

We may not succeed in the doing
OF all we have proposed to do
We may, for the whole of our wooing
Win nothing of that which we WOO;
But, whether our fate or our fortune
At close of the conflict prevail,
There's JOY in hope of our winning
There's JOY in the fight If we fall
So let us continue the struggle,
How weary soever we be,
Nor let the grim front of the battle
Unnerve us by aught We may see;
We fashion our sorrow or pleasure
In facing or fearing the strife
We I'll or we stint our own measure
We make or we mar our own life

GLAD YOU CALLED ATTENTION

The News-Democrat of last We'd
nesday said
"The Republican Sun as usual is
attempting to make politics out of
the question of the disputed salary
of ex-Superintendent Lieb. 1t says:
'Partisanship threatens to return to
the school board with the contest
among the trustees over the question
of paying Superintendent Lieb accord
ing to his contract. Trustees Karnes
Kelly and Clements have asked for a
special meeting of the school board
next Thursday night to settle the
question, but a quorum may not be
in attendance to transact business
The trustees who do not favor paying
the face value of the contract may
not attend.
Well. we assume the News-Demo-
crat will not dispute the fact that
they did not attend. The Sun was
not making politics of the affair
The sun. as usual, more aggressive
than its rival in the news field, got a
line on the situation. That is all.

Yet. we do not doubt that Colonel
Potter is sincere when he says he

than we doubted his sincerity when
less than eight weeks ago he voted
to pay Superintendent Lieb his Au-
gust salary. Nay, we even believe
he is sincere, when he says his quar-
