MARSHALL APPOINTS SEcY.
Mark Thistlethwaite a Newspaper
Man of Indianapolis is
Chosen.

Perhaps Thomas r. Marshall gov
ernor-elect OF Indiana, thinks he
owes something to the indianapolis
News for his election, and SO has ap-
pointed Mark Thistlethwaite, a Dem
ocrat, and city editor of the Indian
aoplis News, to the position OF pri-
vate secretary.
Thistlethwaite was born in Rich
mond. Ind, where his fathers family
still lives, March II, 1879. He was
graduated from Swarthmore College
in 1901. In June OF that year he went
to indianapolis and has been employ
ed on various papers tlere ever since.
He has been reporter since Decem-
Der, 1905, on the Indianapolis News,
and for the last two months has been
the acting city editor of the paper.
Mr. Marshall decided on Mr.. Thistle
thwaite because of his qualihc ations
for the place, but he also happens TO
be Democrat in politics.

AN END TO NIGHT RIDING.
Long Battl. of the Burley Interests
Ends m Largest Deal Ever
Made.

The big deal between the Amer
ican Tobacco company and the Bur-
ley Tobacco society for the 1906 and
art of the 1907 crops of tobacco,
which has been hanging fire for sew
eral weeks. was closed at Louisville
Thursday. The price agreed on in
the transaction, which is the largest
of its kind ever put through, is an
average OF 90 1-2 cents for the 1906
crop and 17c per pound for the 1907
product.
The deal involves nearly s0,000,-
900 pounds of tobacco held in the
pool by the Burley Tobacco society
and an outlay of something like s14,-
100000 on the part of the American
Tobacco company, practically all of
this money being placed in circula-
ion at once in central Kentucky.
According to many who are in a po-
sition to know the sale of the pooled
crop will mark the end of night rid
ing in central and eastern Kentucky
at least for the present, as it is be-
ieved with these two crops out of
the way practically all the growers
will raise tobacco next year.

A 100000 WORD REPORT.
Summing Up of Counsel in Federal
Suit to Dissolve Standard to
Govern Decision.

The federal sun TO dissolve the
Standard Oil company, whlch reach
ed a point of eliminating interest
within the last few days with the tes-
timony on John d. Rockefeller, bids
fair to establish some remarkable
records so far as legal archives are
concerned. Because of the length of
the record off testimony the United
States Circuit Court judges will learn
of the evidence only in the summing
up of counsel for both sides. To read
evidence which, has been taken would
require constant reading by the
judges for ten hours a day for many
months. The official stenographer
says the testimony totals nearly A.
$1,000 words in addition TO an equal
number of words and figures contain
ed in the exhibits
The taking of testimony was COM
menced in New York, Sept. II, 1907,
and has continued. with only few
brief recesses OF the hearings, until
the present time. The hearings will
not conclude, however, until some
time in February.

Must Be Solid Pack.

Some time ago Mr.. Barnard decid-
ed that oysters shipped into this State
and sold here must be solid pack. He
says it has always been the practice
for shippers to put large chunk of
ice in tub or bucket containing oy-
sters for shipment, When the oysters
arrive at their destination the ice has
melted and several gallons OF water
has thus been added to the contents
Tlen the retailer sells the oysters
at so much a pint or quart, selling the
water along with the oysters. Mr.
Barnard says this must cease
A few weeks ago agents OF the
State laboratory purchased several
quarts of oysters in various places
and had them anaylzed at the labora-
tory. Chemist Harry Bishop found
that they ranged from % TO 60 per
cent water This is denounced as an
adulteration OF an article of food, and
The warning issued is intended to end
the practice.
Mr. Barnard said that he would in
struct his pure food inspectors of the
State TO look for violations OF this
order. and to prosecute the offenders

Best Short Story Ever Written

United States Senator Bever,dge
believes the Bible, as a literary work
is the greatest book in the world. He
spoke before an immense audience at
Orchestra Hall at Chicago Sunday
night at the meeting OF the Sunday
Evening club on THE Bible as Good
Reading" remarking by way OF in-
PRODUCTION thar he would not attempt
70 draw any religious deductions.
The Bible exercises a curious fas-
cination over the mind OF man., said
Senator Beveridge. ''for it speaks in
elemental terms OF men and women
If you want 4 story OF war, OF love.
or of adventure you can find 1t there.
1t has long been a wonder to me that
the Bible is not more widely read for
rhe pure sake OF the entertainment it
affords"
Senator Beveridge declared the
story of Isaac and Re0ekah had new
er been excelled as a type OF the
short story He placed the stories OF
Joseprl the dreamer, and David and
Goliath in the same class. Referring
to the story OF Ruth, the senator
SAID:
If | could be permitted 10 give
one word of advice to young women,
it would be to read the book OF Ruth
at least once a month as long as they
live 1t is the best short story ever
written"

The Spirit of Thanksgiving.

Rev Claude Shaver OF indianapolis,
in his sermon on Thanks giving Sun
day morning said:
Unless tine day is celebrated with
a feeling of the true spirit and mean
ing OF Thanksgiving, it becomes a
mere holiday, a colorless day off from
the other days OF the year II It is
not. the very name which the holi-
day is known by becomes misnom-
er. | fear too many of us are losing
sight of the fact thar all holidays
mean something and none has a deep
er and more significant meaning than
the day when all America eats the
turkey and the cranberry
Unless there is intelligence in the
celebration of the occasion our ac-
tions can not be fitting for such a
day. Unless the choir masters study
the songs their choirs sing. with a
view 10 having them express real
spirit of thankfulness, even the music
of our churches, through which we
all are able to express our feelings,
loses its significance All events
which are to be para OF the celebra-
ton OF this holiday should be analyz-
ed and studied so that each one OF
them will be appropriate in every
detail"
DIR. Shaver ridiculed the idea that
Thanksgiving JOY should be OF the
mute, suppressed kind Ecstatic
Thanksgiving he said, is always in or
der and proper The person who
thinks he can enjoy the day without
giving some outward expression Of
gratitude or JOY, he said, has a mis-
taken idea OF his own possibilities.
BY showing that every Thanksgiv-
ing is the Thanksgivin of the aver
age man, since few men rise above
an average plane OF financial success,
DR.. Shaver, in his address Sunday
morning declared it possible for all
classes OF people to participate with
equal JOY in the celebration of the
holiday A fam .ly in only moderate
circumstance Re said. shoeld show
as much gratitude as it would have
reason to show if it had the. means of

FIVE HORSES
BURNED in FIRE
BARN OF FRANK WORTHING-
TON IN ARGOS CONSUMED
SATURDAY MORNING.
Cow is Also Roasted Alive and a
QUANTITY of Hay and Straw is
Burned.

In a fire which broke out shortly
after midnight Saturday morning, in
Argos, large barn, with its contents,
consisting of FIVE head OF horses, one
COW, wagon and buggy, ten tons
of hay, besides a quantity OF straw
and grain, were destroyed.
The barn was the property OF
Frank Worthington, was located on
Depot street, near the business part
of the town.
Three of the horses were the prop
erty of G. A Peoples. groceryman,
one belonged to Ira Kyser, and the
other to Worthington. Ten tons of
hay, that was destroyed, was the
property of Ralph Schlosser, liv-
eryman
The origin of the fire is of course
unknown, and when discovered had
made such headway that no attempt
could be made to check the flames.
The intense heat prevented any effort
to enter the barn, and the live stock
was roasted alive No insurance was
carried on the property destroyed,
excepting 5000 on the barn. A low
estimate of the loss is $500.

tracks and visa versa AS such a pas
sageway would afford an outlet from
South TO LaPorte streets. at this

was instructed to communicate with

what could be done.
The outlet from South TO La

persons living on West South street.

lowing the Vandalia tracks from the

to be set down, and finally spoke the

suggestion or signal from the oper-

icited in the audience, from which the
lady spoke the letter, number, and
denomination. She was correct in
both instances, this act being the
most conclusive of all The audience
was requested to write questions on
slips of paper, furnished by them
selves or by the company. The clair

ers, repeated their query, and gave
an answer Questions so answered
were as follows:
Mr. W. A. Rhinehart wishes to
know if his new venture will be

give 1T up, as you will surely succeed
in the end
Some one wishes to know will Tom
Clancy marry? Yes, indeed sometime
Miss Vera Hurnrichouser asks.
where is Frances (Thayer) heart?
You already know ,and besides that is
too personal a question to answer
here.
Miss Bessie Kepler wishes to know
now soon she will marry. CThe clair.
voyant lost the gist here and required
some time before she regained her
perception, when she finally spoke
the question, she replied You are
only 16 years of age, and had better
wait four years before considering
marriage
