Tons of Indiana Butter.

In Indiana last year 81 ,331 ,53S
pounds of butter were produced.
These are figures gathered by
Mary Stubs Moore, chief of the
Indiana bureau OF statistics.
Figures are gathered in this way
annually by the bureau. In the
previous year only 36,064, 999
were produced.
While these figures seem dull
and devoid OF anything which
would cause excitement on the
streets of great city, hey may
nevertheless be made interesting
by a few simple calculations,
rules tor which may be found in
any common school arithmetic.
1t is possible for the fundamental
process OF division TO find out
just how many years the guam
tity of butter produced last seas
on would supply single family,
provided the family used three
pounds a week. 1t would also
be possible by the fundamental
processes to find out just how
many miles of streets could be
paved with this quantity of but
ter made into one pound cakes
These problems should be work
ed out on cool evenings when
there is stiff breeze from the
north. and if results are not sat
isfactory the process should be
repeated each two hours until re-
lief is obtained.

SEWERS CLOG UP
BOYS SWIM IN STREETS.
Heavy Rain at Vincennes Proves
Blessing to Farmers and
Source of Delight to
Youngsters.

Vincennes was visited by a
heavy but steady rainfall Mon
day afternoon. The sewers were
inadequate and the streets filled
with water in many places. AT
Third and Seminary street, How
ard Shepherd, son of ex-Council-
man A. M. Shepherd. appeared
in a bathing suit and took a
plunge in the flood waters. Fully
twenty-five boys did a similar
stunt at Fifth and Buntin streets
where the Perry-street Sewer has
its source. They enjoyed the fun
immensely, and when kneeline
down found the water about
their shoulders. This rain has
been prayed for by farmers in all
sections of that locality and has
been one of hundred blessings.
The corn was twisted into cigar
like rolls and was dying. Water
melon vines were drying up and
big melons were left exposed and
withered. Now that the rain has
come. almost full crop is ex-
pected.

SHOT ENDS GIRLS POSE.
Suicide Reveals Her a Negress.
and faint Caused Two
Tragedies.

Posing for years as a white
girl, Lillian Beatrice Watkins. a
negress of great beauty, killed
herself by firing a bullet into her
right temple early Thursday
morning in Chicago, because her
curse of blood" had left trail
of disaster and death in its wake.
One man had fallen in love
with her and when he learned her
secret gave her $4,000, married
a girl he had known for several
years and then a month later
blew out his brains in Washing
ton park.
He fired a bullet into his right
temple, and when the girl plan
ned her own death she killed her
self in the same way.
Back of the girls death is a
tragic story of a conflict of race
which brought aching hearts to
score of persons. AS the young
girl lay in a North Side under
tal<ing-room, negress, bent and
withered, leaned over the BODY
and wept.
She was the girls mother, who
in order to allow her daughter to
associate with white persons,
had given her up and passed her
daily on the street without a sign
OF recognition. And yet the
golden-haired octoroon loved her
dark skinned mther and, on sec
ret visits to her home, lavished
atf,ctlsn upon her.
Thomas F. Kennedy, the mot.
i've for whose suicide in Wash
ington park on Jan. Z last had
been a mystery, was the man
who fell in love with the Inflated
girl. She returned his love and
told her mother that they were
engaged. and that she intended
10 keep her race a secret. How
ever she worried so over possible
discovery that one night she sob
bed out the truth. Kennedy left
her and a month afterward mar
ried Gwendolyn Reese. Four
weeks after his marriage Ken
nedy was found dead in Wash
ington park, only a few blocks
from his home at 1000 Fifty
fourth tsreet, where he had fur
nished elegant apartments for
his bride.
Suicide because desponden,
and out of work. was the report
made on Kennedy's death, but he
left his bride $4,000, and if any
one guessed the secret Of his
death it was not revealed.

BRYAN Fires First Gun.

William ]. Bryan in his first
real speech of the campaign at
Lincoln uttered an earnest plea
for support from the laboring
masses. To 100 members of the
Lincoln Central Labor union he
laid stress upon the planks in the
Denver platform which he urged
had been framed wholly in the
interest OF the wage earners. He
pointed out particularly the anti
Injunction, antitrust, trial by
jury and secretary of labor
planks and argued that for these
alone Bryan and Kern ought to
get tie votes of the working men
1T is true, he said, that the
platform adopted at Denver pro-
viEdes timely measures in favor
OF the laboring men which have
my most cordial approval. There
is one plank there that ! was
very anxious TO have in the plat
forin--the plank that proposes a
u.'y cabinet position, depart
nent of labor with a secretary a,
its head.
Il have for many years believ-
ed that that great body of our
population known as wage earn
ers, ought to be represented in
the councils of the chief execu-
tive. There should be a repre-
sentative of the toiling masses.
And | am very much grati6ed
that that plank is there and the
party has made this promise, if
lntrusted with power tc give to
labor that high honor to which it
is entitled.
Il think, too. that we should
have an amendment to the anti
trust law that will draw a dis
tinction between those who asso-
ciate themselves together for inu-
tlral benefit and those who as
sociate themselves in corpora
ton for the purpose of monopol.
izing some article.
There is a distinction so broad
between these two classes of or
ganiza,tion that everybody ought
to be able IT, see the distinction
and the distinction ought to be
drawn by law. That is in the
platform.

A Censor Needed.

South Berd Times, Dem: Con
gresham Clayton has not gained
any laurels by his impolitic and
unwise speech thai he Inflicted
upon Denver after lie had been
chosen permanent chairman OF
that body. On the contrary, in
so far as there has been any ex-
preston or the subject it has
been uniformity against him. His
attacks upon President Roose-
welt were about Is senseless as
anything could be. No wonder
orders have been issued from
Fairview that the Clayton style
of ammunition shall not be used
in the pending campaign.

' HAVE BRYAN
He Fiercely Assails Democracy
and its Leader.

A cablegram has been received
from William Randolph Hearst
in reply to message transmit
ted to Mr.. Hearst from Samuel
Gompegs, stating that in view OF
the Democrats stand for labor it
would be IAN act OF greatest pat
riotism for the independence
party to indorse the Democratic
PLATFORM" and urging him not to
run a third ticket, as 1t would
elect Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Hearst cable
gram follows:
Tell Mr.. Gompers that | am
not authorized to speak for the
membership of the independence
League, but according to my per-
sonal standards, a purer patriot
ism consists in laboring 10 estab-
lish new party which will be
consistently devoted TO the inter-
est of the citizenship, and partic-
ularly to the advantage and adj
vancement of the producing
classes. | do not think the path
of patriotism lies in supporting a
discredited and decadent cid
party which has neither conscien-
tious conviction nor honest inten-
ton or in indorsing chameleon
candidates who change the color
of their political opinion with
every varying hue OF opportun>
ism.
| do not think the best benefit
of laboring men lies in support
ing that old party because OF a
sop Of false promise, when the
performance of that party while
in power did more to .njure labor
than all the injunctions ever is
sued before or since. | have lost
faith in the empty professions OF
an unregenerated Democracy. |
have lost confidence in the ability
in the sincerity and even in the
integrity of its leaders. / do not
consider it patriotism to pretend
to support that which, as citi-
zen. | distrust and detest, and j
earnestly hope the independence
party will give me an opportun-
ity to vote for candidates that are
both able and honest, and for a
declaration of principles that is
both sound and sincere-Wil-
liam Randolph Hearst.

wrote to lodges in the far West,
after the Knoxville meeting, and
told them no split had occurred

VIOLATED THE
INJUNCTION
THAT is THE CHARGE UP
ON WHICH GOMPERS,
MORRISON & MITCH
ELL ARE CITED
FOR CON-
TEMPT.

In the Buck stove and range
case, Justice Anderson OF the dis
trict supreme court at Washing
ton Monday summoned Samuel
Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, Secre-
tary Frank Morrison of that or
ganization and John Mitchell of
the executive council and former
president of the United Mine
Workers of America, to appear
in court on September 8 next, to
show cause why they should not
be punished for contempt of the
courts injunction order.
The action is based on a petit
ton OF the Buck Stove and
Range company, OF St. Louis,
which alleges that an order is
sued by Justice Gould forbid
ding an alleged boycott by the
American Federation of Labor
has been violated by the public
utterances and addresses of the
labor leaders named. 1t also is
stated that Gompers caused to
be published in the Federationist
the official organ of the federation
certain article rejecting on the
courts decision and in alleged
open defiance printing the name
OF the Buck Stove and Range
company in the I'VE Don't Pat
ronize" list.
Gompers is quoted as saying
to newspaper men: so far as
am concerned | wish to state
this: When it comes to choice
between surrendering my rights
as free American citizen or vio-
lating the injunction of the court
| do not hesitate to say that
shall exercise my rights as be.
tween the two
Other utterances are quoted in
which it is alleged Gompers and
Morrison in furtherance of an al
legged plan to nullify the courts
orders have been publishing edi,
torially and otherwise offensive
to the courts decision including
the name of the Buck Stove com
pany. The references it is claim
ed were made for the purpose o.
keeping alive the idea of the boy
colt as it existed before the order
of the court and were so framed
as to effect the sale of the com
pany's products.
John Mitchell at a meeting O
the United Mine Workers las
January put to a vote resolu
ton imposing a fine OF S. on any
member of that organization who
purchased a stove or range O
that company's manufacture
The resolution also provided TO
the expulsion of a member in de
fault of payment of the fine.

When Bryan Interfered.

Il never interfere with state
politics. said Mr.. Bryan with
much feeling" according to a
Pennsylvania correspondent who
asked him whether, as his man.
ayers have announced, he intend
ed 10 invade Col. Guffey's state
and down" that opponent. And
nobody present was mean enough
to remind him of his foray into
Illinois politics and his battle
with Roger Sullivan or Of his in
effectual attempts to elect a
Democratic senator in Kentucky.

BAD FOR DEMOCRATS.
Anti-Saloon League Gets Salts
factory Answer from Few
Legislative Candidates

The Indiana Anti-Saloon
League has put in force plan to
test the sentiment OF candidates
for the Legislature in regard to
the all7absorbing temperance is
sue. The officials OF the league
have conducted this campaign 10,
information quietly, and are not
disposed to talk about it, but it
has left no doubt in their minds
as to which political party is
really and sincerely in favor of
temperance. While both parties
profess to be favorable to tenn
perance legislation, one making
the township and the other mak>
ing the county the unit, the in
vestigation of the Anti-Saloon
Leaguers shows that the Repub-
licans alone mean business
The Anti-Saloon League has
sent out $50 letters to candidates
for the Legislature, making
pointed inquiries as to. their
views on temperance legislation.
\ copy of this letter was sent to
every candidate on both the Re-
publican and Democratic tickets.
OF the 125 Democrats address,
ed only a few have returned sat
+isfactory answers. A large ma
jority OF the Democratic aspir.
ants have either declined to an
swer or have evaded the queries.
Some OF them have gone on rec
ord as opposed to the legislation
which the spirit OF the times
seems to demand. The answers
from Republican candidates have
been satisfactory and 10 the
point.
The information collected in
this way would make interesting
reading, but the Anti-Saloon Of,
ficials say it will not see the light
OF publicity. 1t will be furnished
to local anti-saloon workers to be
used by them as quietly and eff
fectively as possible.

Disease and Death in Indiana in
June.

liz Hioiitiii) StdtiStlSo vi tllC
State Board OF Health for June,
he tabulation just completed,
present the following facts:
Death rate for the whole state
lO.s. In June 1907 11.3. The diff
erence is g which means there
were almost 100 fewer deaths
this June than last. Pneumonia
was less, as there were only 90
deaths as compared with l51 in
June 1907. Again we must re-
mark that respiratory diseases
always decrease when the warm
months begin. This is simply be-
cause people live more out OF
doors in the warm months. 1t is
not the cold which causes respir-
atory diseases. Pneumonia, la
grippe, coughs and colds are in
duced by breathing foul air. Ii
people would breathe as much
pure air in the winter time as
hey do in the summer time, they
would enjoy equal freedom from
respiratory diseases. The choice
is between disease and death and
joys OF pure air.
The most prevalent malady
was rheumatism, and diarrhoea
vas second. Both of these troub-
les are due to indigestion. We
rave more indigestion in the sum-
mer time because of the fermen-
alton of food. By thoroughly
cooking all food, and this in
cludes water and milk, immedi-
ately before the same is consum-
ed, we would go almost entirely
free from diarrhoeal diseases.
The order of disease prevalence
for June is as follows: Rheuma-
tism, diarrhoea, tonsilitis, bron-
rhitis, typhoid fever (enteric)
;holera morbus, wflooping cough,
measles. cholera infantum, in
hammation of the bowels, dy-
sentry, intermittent and remit
tent fever, diphtheria and men,
branous croup,scarlet fever small
pox. erysipelas, influenza, pneu-
monia, pleuritis, chickenpox, pu-
erperal fever, typho-malaria few
er, cerebro-spinal meningitis.
Smallpox caused deaths, 81
cases reported from 81 counties.
The deaths occurred in Indian
apolis, Jacksonville and in the
country in Carroll county. In
June last year 119 cases were re-
ported from 81 counties with
death. tuberculosis wrought its
usual havoc. There were 344
deaths. OF this number, 292 were
Of the pulmonary form. Typhoid
fever caused ~ deaths against %
last June; pneumonia sc against
Isl, influenza s against Is. These
figures indicate an Improvement
in respiratory diseases. In the
winter months the pneumonia
deaths average about 200 and the
influenza deaths over so. Diph-
liberia caused 8 deaths, scarlet
lever 3, measles 8, whooping
cough %, diarrhoeal diseases 1O2,
cerebro-spinal meningitis 8, puer-
peral fever 13, cancer 131, vio-
lence 1914.
