more Of water.
After staying beneath the surface for
some time he appeared bearing the an

With his burden he was assisted to
climb to the wharf. There, after the boy
was rolled on a barrel for some time he
revived.

by their attendance a. the chapel and

hundred on account of the smallness OF

Results from Dairymen's
Meeting.

Dr.. ]. y. Hurry, secretary of
the State Board of Health, be-
lieves that great good will come
from the meeting of health Off
GER and dairymen held in India
napolis last week. 1t is his opin-
ion that, while there may not be
complete unanimity OF opinion on
al matters pertaining to the reg
ulation of diaries the free discus
sion of important questions along
this line will be productive OF
good.
Il have received letters from
several dairymen who could not
attend the convention said DIR.
Hurty. They show the great
est interest in the proceedings and
regret that they were not able to
be present. Some of them ask
that copies of a report OF the pro-
ceedings be mailed to them, SO
they may enjoy the benefits of the
meeting. The board regrets very
much that it can not publish the
report. The appropriation made
to the board will not permit of the
dissemination of this life-saving
knowledge"

Bryan.

Peoria Herald-Transcript Will
liam Jennings Bryan, better
known as the Democratic party,
was born in Illinois AZ years ago.
In youth he wals a most preco-
cious child. AT the age OF l he
would walk. At the age of 2 he
began to run. He has kept it up
ever since.
Mr.. Bryan was educated in Ill
inois College and remained one
of its most loyal alumni until the
school traded him off for kerosene
several years ago. AFTER gradu-
ating from Illinois and practicing
law for a short time he removed
to Nebraska. This was just about
the time the Nebraska cyclone be-
came so destructive, but there is
no proof that Mr.. Bryan began
speechmaking that early in his ca
reer.
Mr.. Bryan grew up rapidly
with Nebraska, going to Congress
and committing other harm
less in~discretions until he went to
the Democratic National conven-
ton as delegate. Here he made
a remark concerning crowns of
thorns and crosses of gold which
has melted him three presidential
nominations and several hundred
thousand dollars.
Mr.. Bryan lives at Lincoln,
Neb. When not actively engaged
in running for the presidency he
is an editor, a farmer, an elocu-
zionist, a travelling man in the
Chautauqua season and an au-
thor. He has also been a soldier,
a globe trotter and a lawyer. He
is very methodical, always maxi
ing a speech every day. His fav-
orite style of presidential nomin-
alton is the unanimous. He is
stout and dark, smooth shaver
and is we'll fitted by nature for
addressing large audiences and
eating Nebraska watermelons. In
1896 he was the youngest man
who had ever run for the presi-
dency and in 1882 he will be the
oldest candidate.

give him a reception open to all
of the people of Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan who may desire to
attend. Mr.. Adeis taking a per-
sonal interest in Mr.. Taft's visit
and through the press extends a
very cordial Invitation to all the
people of Indiana to participate
in the entertainment of Mr.. Taft.
1t is proposed to make this one OF
the most notable rallies of the
campaign and extensive arrange

CASE is
Judge Funk Declies to Preside at
Proceedings to Disbar At
torney Jos. E. Talbot.

During the setting OF cases Fri
day in the St. Joseph county cir
cult court, Attorney Samuel Par
ker, representing Prosecuting At
torney Joseph f. Talbot of South
Bend in the disbarment proceed
ings, asked that the hearing of
the case be set for the earliest
possible time and requested that
the date be not later than a week
from next Tuesday.
Attorney Harry r. WAR, of the
committee which sled the charges
objected to the case being set for
trial at that time on the ground
that the committee would be
compelled to take several deposit
tions in different states which
work would call for considerable
time.
Judge Funk then announced
that as he had Directed the COM
mittee to file the charges and as
he would probably be called as a
material witness when the matter
came up for hearing. he would
challenge himself and appoint
three men, as the statute provides
from whom a special judge may
be selected.
The case was then held on the
list and not set down for hearing,
the court ~preferring to not make
disposition Of it in that respect
since he was no longer the Judge
to hear the cause.
The defense expressed its dis
appointment in not being able 10
get TO trial, as it was willing to
concede any point for the purpose
OF getting the matter before the
court in the shape OF an early
hearing.
Mr.. Talbot's attorneys stated
that the committee had had six
months in which to get ready,
while the defense had prepared
for trial in three days time, and
that they cannot understand why
the hearing should be postponed
any further. The defense also ex-
pressed its surprise at the COM
mittee Directing to a speedy de-
termination of the truth or falsity
OF the charges.

PLAN SUGGESTED
FOR GOOD ROADS
INDPLS MAN MAKES NOV
Ell SUGGESTION FOR
LAYING OF DUST
EXPERIMENT IS
TRIED AT THE
STATE FAIR.

Robert Z. Poindexter, one Of
the prominent residents of Indi-
annapolis and for many years a
prosperous farmer Of Madison
county and an inventor OF renown
is a thorough agitator OF good
roads and believes that everybody
should be interested in making
the public highways passable at
all seasons of the year as we'll as
free from the intolerable, blind
ing, choking dust which now
hangs like a pail over the state,
making life miserable for those
who live in the country and must
use the highways. Mr.. PoindeX-
ter hold to the theory that crude
oil, mixed with road making ma
terial, even if common dirt, will
keep out the moisture and pre-
vent any accumulation of dust.
The expense necessary will be
fully justified in the opinion Oh
Mr.. Pondexter. \ practical IL
~luStratiOn OF the value OF oil in
preventing dust was given at the
State fair, where the principal
streets in the grounds and the
70 a d way approaching the
| grounds was treated to an oil bath
which effectually prevented dust
and made sight seeing at the fair
a comfort, this year-in marked
contrast to the experience OF 9th

The u. S. government has tax
en- up the dust problem and at the

The oiled roads of California

that fertile state in the last few
years by s%uppressig the dust that
formerly arose i'll binding clouds
with the passing of every vehicle.
Those dust clouds, floating to adj
iacent fields and orchards, depre-
ciated the price OF farm products
and lowered the values OF real es-
tate to a startling degree. The
s%prinkling of oil was tried and the
dust was held in check.
