COMPLAIN OF
INDIANA MILK
HEALTH OFFICERS IN CHICA-
GO SAY THAT IMPURE
MILK is SHIPPED FROM
INDIANA TOWNS TO
THE WINDY
CITY.

Chicago health officers are making
complaint about milk that is being
shipped from Indiana to Chicago. DIR.
j. N. Hurry, secretary of the Indiana
state board of health, has received
letter from W. A Evans, commits
sioner of the department of health at
Chicago. in which DR.. Evans calls at
tention TO one case at Hobart IN
which he believes official action
should be taken.
DIR. Evans says that one OF his in
spectors reports that there are two
cases OF diphtheria in the family of
William Hardesty at Hobart, Ind.
The cases he says we're attended by
DR.. Dob5fns, of Wheeler, Ind. The
Inspector reported that DR.. Dobb;ns
not only allowed Hardesty to handle
milk which was later shipped to Chi,
cago, but that me also permitted Har-
desty to mingle generally with the
people at Hobart Dr. Hurry said he
would begin an investigation of the
case at once.
DR.. Hurt.r has also received word
that Dr. c. L. Crawford, OF Vevay,
has been bitten by dog which was
supposed to be suffering from hydro
phobia The dog had been acting
strangely>for several days and had
never been known to be vicious be-
fore it bit DR.. Crawford. The animals
head was sent to the laboratory OF
the state board of health.

Swift and Cheap.

The motorcycle is coming to be
recognized by rural mail carriers as
a useful and speedy means of deliv-
ering the mail One carrier out OF
Wabash covered his route in two and
one half hours The distance being
twenty-six miles and the number Of
boxes 124. In Warsaw there are four
carriers who use the motorcycle in
making their rounds and they usually
get back to- town in two and one half
hours. This is not only an advantage
to the carriers, but to the patrons as
well, for the farmer is just an anxious
to get his mail early in the day as the
resident of the city. A Motorcycle
can be purchased for less money
than a good horse and can be "fed"
for less money also, and can be made
use of a good part of the year

PROCLAMATION
GOVERNOR REQUESTS PUB
Lie OFFICIALS TO CLOSE
OFFICES AND INDIVID-
UALS TO SUSPEND
BUSINESS MON
DAY, SEPT Z.

In formal proclamation issued
from the executive offices in the State
House Tuesday night Governor Han
ly declares Monday, Sept. 7, Labor
day, TO be a legal holiday throughout
Indiana. The Governor requests all
public officials to close their offices,
and appeals to- individuals, wherever
possible, to suspend private business.
The proclamation follows:
In recognition of the sovereignty
of toll and of labor's incompatible
contribution to the welfare and hap
piness of the people of this common
wealth, l. J. Frank Hanly, by virtue
of the authority vested in me as Gov
ernor of the State of Indiana, do
hereby set apart and proclaim Mon
day, Sept. Z, 1908, as Labor day, and
do hereby constitute and declare the
same legal <holiday throughout the
confines of said State and recon-
mend its fitting observance by all cit;
lens everywhere
Labor is the one source of wealth
The genius both of production and
of commerce is in it, Through it the
mastery of natures forces is attain
ed and the utilization of her resources
acquired Without it science and in
vention could achieve no triumphs. 1t
is the foundation of society, the in
spiration of government, the bulwark
il civic order IT is more than the
law of life 1t is life itself. 1t IS oGd-
appointed.
Let all public offices be closed and
all private business, wherever pos
sible. be suspended Let us keep the
day here set apart in appreciation OF
labor's worth and in commemoration
of its victories.
The women and the children of the
commonwealth are of right entitled
to share IN the ceremonies and rec
reations of the day without disturb
ance by brawl or carousal. To that
end an dto end that the peace may
not be broken, and that order may
be maintained, the sale OF intoxicat-
ing liquors is prohibited by law on
this day. Civic duty demands respect
for the obedience TO this mandate OF
the law by every officer, its enforce
ment by every executive officer. Let
none forget Let all remember In
such observance and in such obedi-
ence alone can the cause in whose
name and for whose benefit the day
is set apart find fitting recognition.

Tribute to R. B. OglesbeeA

Rev. E. d. Daniels, who worked
with Mr.. Oglesbee much in historical
work and knew him most intimately.
pays the following tribute to his
memory in the LaPorte Herald: q
regard Rollo B. Oglesbee as one of
the choicest of spirits He was a col
lege man, competent lawyer, an
exceedingly able historian and an ac-
complished journalist, capable of do
ing anything in the line of that pro,
fession and doing it well. He was a
man OF great versatility and deep in
sight, which enabled him TO get at
the fundamental principles of what
he undertook, as is shown by the ia
cihty with which he mastered the
details of his recent new position IN
the banking business of the state But
as most would say, unfortunately for
hlm-rather tortunately-he was of
such a gentle, retiring and unobstru-
sive disposition as to unfit him for
getting down into the arena and
scratching tearing and biting to see
who shall get the most of the worlds
good things. And so, under the stern
law off the survival of tie strongest,
he had to go to the wall where he re-
NAMED good part of his life. 1t is
not the survival of the httest but a
simple matter of teeth, claws and
vantage ground. He was sweet spir-
ited lovable and winsome. He had a
rare combination of poetic nature and
ability to handle and judge correctly
Of facts. which made him not only a
beautiful writer. but an able histor-
ian. There was a sad pathos in his
nature that it is good to remember
He was too good TO bear his part in
he wilds of the present jungle, and
hence he has left us. May he find
peace N that world where the strug-
giles for existence are over"

RAIN HAS COME AT LAST.
Comes Too Late to Save the Enor-
nous Corn Crop Promised, but
is Very Welcome.

The long looked for rain came at
last Shortly before 5 O'Clock We'd
nesday evening. the skies opened
and the streets of the city were given
a thorough wetting
Since the third of July but little
rain has fallen near here. The rain
was a b0on TO the farmer. Already
the corn crop had been cut in two
and the potatoes which are generally
large at this season are extremely
small. Had the drought continued a
week longer the entire corn crop
crop would have been laid to waste,
the farmers say.
Last evenings storm was accom-
panied with loud peals of thunder and
a vivid display of lightning.
The rain was pretty general, es-
'pecially in the southern part OF the
county.

as an argument by the progressives
for a larger appropriation by the
home government Everywhere the
hberality of the American appropri-
