WANT STRINGENT MEASURE
RECORD MADE BY THE iNSPEC-
TORS OFFICE IN INDIANA THE
PAST YEAR-FIeURES ARE IN
TERESTiNG.

In the report of the State factory in
spector for 1906, copies of which have
Just been received at the office Of
William f. Blakeley, now State in
spector, the topic of new dangers is
discussed at some length. The report
was compiled by D. H. McAbee, who
until recently was State inspector.
Along the line of new dangers the
report says:
Quite recently the daily press has
given an account Of panics in two the
atres Of our State, one in Indianapolis
and one in Evansville. In both cases
they were caused by d cinematograph
or moving picture machine. Fortu-
nataIv. there were no fatalities, al
though many were quite seriously in
iurcd At Greenwood gas tank OF
a somewhat similar machine exploded,
killing two persons and injuring
third The explosion occurred just be
fore the performance. Had 1t oc-
Cured later when the house was filled
the results would probably have been
much more disastrous
Some Eastern States that have had
more experience with these travelling
machines have very stringent laws
regulating their use. Respectfully rec
ommend a similar law in this State.
Work of the Department.
Some interesting figures are given
in relation TO the amount of work done
by the department.
There have been 4.42S inspections
made. says the report, requiring the
issuing OF 2,548 orders for the better
guarding Of dangerous machines, ele-
vators. repairing Of defective boilers,
improved sanitary conditions, frees
capes on hotels and public buildings
We also have received and examined
2,2s9 certificates Of boiler spections;
received and referred for further in.

Sunday afternoon about 80 o'clock
Chief Bailey. with Sergeant McManus
and Officers NOgelsOng. Lawler. Wier-
hake, Yingling, Lambertson and Gully.
marched quietly out of police head
quarters, then east on Main street. un-
til they reached the Vaughan block.
which is between Seventh and Eighth
streets on Main.
The police detachment then filed up
two flights of stairs in the Vaughan
block and halted before the entrance
of the Eagles club rooms. There was
an imperative knock on the door and
in minute the wicket flew open and
man peered out. The sight which
confronted him was not a pleasing
one, but he promptly opened the doc:
and Chief Bailey and his officers filed
in.
Between forty and fifty members o"
the Eagles aerie were in the club
rooms at the time and the sight of the
eight police officers caused the great
est excitement. Without any prelim-
inaries the police swarmed down on
the bar and proceeded to confs-
cate all the booze found in the place
A big five cent slot machine. common
ly called the owl machine. and two
smaller gambling machines. which the
members of the aerie used to play for
the cigars. and several hundred poker
chips, also became the loot of the Off
GERS.
List of Members Taken.
After a list of all the members
found in the club rooms at the time of
the raid had been secured. a call was
sent in for the patrol wagon. When
Patrolman Remmert pulled his horse
up in front of the Vaughan block
there was a large crowd assembled il
the street, and in a very few minutes
the word had generally spread about
the city that the police had raided the
Eagles club rooms.
After the arrival of the patrol wagon
the police officers began loading diff
ferent varieties of booze into it, As
soon as the wagon had been filled to

Help the Boys Home.

TO the farmers and potato dealers:
In years past have made personal
appl icat ion for help to carry on this
grand enterprise Of Mrs. Byers, but
my So years of age forbids, so ! use
the newspaper to quickl, reach you.
Mrs. Byers' letter not written for
publication, but personally to me
tells the story better than could any
words OF mine. Read her pititful
story, imagine yourself in her place,
and then do as you would like to be
done by, were you In her place.

Col. III. r. West, Greeley, Colo.
My Dear Friend Would 1t be
convenient for you to secure some
potatoes for the Boys home? l have
grave fears Of being able to keep the
place going this winter as so many
of my best friends have either died
or left the city. Mr.. e Of Greeley
always gave me 500 q year. Mr..
Trumbull has gone to New York to
live and although he has never lost
his interest in the boys he cannot
help US as when here. could name
other such cases.
AS you know all kinds Of pro-
visions, clothing, fuel, etc., have ad-
vanced In price, making 1t so much
harder to support the home in
comfortable way.
The boys we're two months in camp
this year, thanks to Mr.. Trunbull.
and that saved expense, but when 1t
comes to feeding twenty eight hungry
boys it takes lot. The boys are
all strong, we'll and happy, are kept
so by enough wholesome food. They
go to school and earn what they can
by errands and other odd jobs after
school.
We use about three sacks Of pota-
toes week. I read of the splendid
yield Of crops and surely those rich
farmers would gladly help those
friendless boys, could they but know
our urgent need.
/ trust Mr.. West that l am not
asking too much of you, and that
you will be able to report favorably,
as the newspapers say.
hope you will be able to read
what l have written, my eyes are
serving me shabby trick in my old
days, l can hardly see the pen use.
With sincerest regards,
Mrs. W. N. Byers.
The Greeley Mercantile company
starts the ball rolling by donating
five sacks and also receiving and
storing all donations until ready to
ship. i trust that every dealer will
donate FIVE sacks and that every
farmer hauling potatoes to Greeley
will chip In" one or moro sacks OF
good potatoes. Henry T. West.

and yet there has been = steady

with the thinnest part of this III the
section that represents the wage
Garner. But even here will be found
a bulky fatness compared with tne
leaness discernable five or six years
ago. There Is also another pecuI-
iarity about this section, IN thai all
other sections of the chain would
like to blame the weakest link for
the whole trouble. Well, there is
something in that, but 1t 10 only one
of many influences that are 1T work,
and there is nothing to indicate that
it was the original cause. Some
where along the line somebody is

If the decline in prices, when it
comes, can be gradual and from
natural causes, we'll and good.
Prices will decline and later wages
follow after. thus over a period Of
years equalizing things. But when
wages again 60 down they viii un
go to the bottom, like in
1893. 1t will then require . tern of
years again for prices to reach their
present height, and to pull wages

laws governing same in the past are
no longer operative this will again

We can hope for this, however,
that the top has been reached in
both prices and wages. w may

soaring until we suddenly drop Oh on
