INTEREST IS REVIVED
Question of Vivisection Once
More Given Consid-
GRAFTON.
WHAT WORD REALLY MEANS

Chicago, ILL.,, July Is Since the
recent announcement by the Ameri-
can Medical Association that physi-
clans of the country would actively
defend the practice of vivisection for
scientific purposes, interest in this
old debate has been revived here and
many interesting facts have come to
light. The first blow In the fight for
freedom of research has taken the
form of an article in the official
journal of the association in which the
position of the medical profession on
the question is once and for all de-
fined. This article contains among
other facts and figures the interesting
statement that fully so per cent. of all
animal experiments today are per-
formed with hypodermic syringe and
less than 20 per cent. are actual cut
ting processes. IF the medical pro-
1ession can be entrusted with the care
OF the lives and health of the men,
women and children of the country"
says the article, at can certainly be
trusted with the far lesser duty of
protecting dumb animals against need
less and unnecessary pain and suffer.
Ing. The term 'vivisection,' so fire.
quently used by the advocates of legal
restriction, is in itself misleading and
inaccurate. Probably so per cent. of
the animal experiments performed to-
day are done with hypodermic
syringe and should be called vivi-
puncture rather than vivisection, since
there is no cutting connected with any
stage of the experiment. The suffer
ing experienced by thousand guinea
pigs is probably not equal to that en-
dured by a single little child suffering
from diphtheria or scarlet fever" The
campaign, which has only just begun,
bids fair to be lively one, as the
medical men give as their platform
the refusal "to trade a great deal of
human life and happiness for a very
little animal life and happiness"

BUSINESS DAMAGED
PaWnbrokers Among Those
That Suffer by Return
Of Prosperity.
OTHERS ARE AFFECTED.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 2J.-PawubrokerS
and loan sharks throughout the coun-
try have been hard hit by the return
ing wave of prosperity. Interesting
and curious information about this
line of business was uncovered by the
heard from one ghetto property owner,
heard from one ghetto property owner
Abraham Newman, that he had been
ruined by prosperity and that he was
losing money every day. Ruined by
proseperity:" asked one of the review
ers in establishment. Il can't under
stand that" Easy enough" returned
Newman, Il am a pawnbroker and
business for me. There are 12O pawn
brokers in Chicago and not one of
them who is doing an Honest business
is making any money today" The ill
effects of the present revival of bust
ness were bewailed by George Arm
strong, manufacturer of rat traps,
was between prosperity and a falling
off in the sale of rodent snares was
not made clear My business has
been seriously damaged" stated Arm
strong solemnly. 1T must have been
the fear that Bryan would be nomi-
mated" he added systematically, that
caused such a feeling of disgust among
purchasers. and l am afraid his NOM
ination will have a permanent depress-
ing effect on the rat trap industry"
The work of the board of review had
more serious side, however, for it
led to the discovery of over $15O,OOO,-
coo of taxable wealth hidden away in
Chicago and vicinity, the taxes on
which will enrich the city and coun-
ty by several millions of dollars. The
newly discovered property is the esti-
mated total value of 800 undivided es-
tates, which during the lives of their
owners, were undertaxed and now
will have to be properly paid on by
the heirs. AS a result of the siren
uous look into the past, conscience
stricken property owners are rushing
to the reviewers with true valuations
and hard luck stories.

MAKING ITSELF FELT
Business Revival in Middle and
Far Western States Is
Encouraging.
CONFIDENCE is SHOWN.

Chicago, July 25.-Reports from
more than thirty states received here
this week indicate that the long her.
aided business revival is making it.
self strongly felt in the middle and far
west, while New England and the At
lantic states are recovering more slow
ly from the effects of the depression.
Manufacturers and dealers west OF
Pittsburg report that the last two
months have seen a marked increase
in the volume of business and pros
aging In Chicago over 10000 railroad
men have gone back to work since
the first of the year. Half of the men
the packers laid off during the winter
are back at their old places. There
has been marked falling off in the
number of idle freight cars since the
high mark which was reached in
May. Prospects for the crops in Illi-
nois are good, the slight reduction in
wheat acreage being offset by the in
crease in oats, and estimates for the
corn crop placing the total at 325, 000,-
900 bushels or about the same as last
year. Reports from Milwaukee, Du-
luth, Detroit, Cincinnati, st. Louis.
Kansas City and Denver are uniform
ly favorable. In all these cities men
are finding good employment and
business is on the increase. The
South also reports progress. Advices
from Pittsburg, however, state that in
the East mills are still running at
only so to 60 per cent capacity, al
though more men are being put to
work every day. The gain in conf,
dence, as shown by the increase in
postoffice receipts announced last
week, has been particularly notice
able west of the Alleghanies. The
June receipts at the Chicago postoffice
were $43, 900 greater than for the cor
responding month last year, before
the financial de oppression had begun to
make itself felt

GETS JACKET MADE
OF ELK TEETH
Strange Ceremonies Surround
Marriage of Indian Girl.

Riverton, Wyo.. July 25.-One of the
interesting features of the weeks cele-
bration which the Araphoe Indians of
this section closed yesterday, was the
wedding of a daughter of William
Shakespeare, one of the oldest In
dams on the reservation, and Big
Tracks, a stalwart young buck.
The Christian ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Father Sifton, aft
err which the tribal ceremony took
place. The bride received many pres
ents from the Indians, including sew
eral ponies, beadwOrk, curioS, blank
cts, and from her father she received
jacket embroidered with 1850 elk
teeth and valued at considerably more
than $4,000.
Many whites witnessed the we'd
ding, and these showered the bride
with silver, whereupon there was a
hasty consultation among the leading
Araphoe old men. At the conclusion
of the confab the old men advanced,
one by one, and gave the bride their
blessings, each relieving her of sill
yer dollar at the same time. When
the dollars were exhausted the bless
ings ceased.
William Shakespeare, the father OF
the bride, is remarkable man. He
is 104 years old and was not married
until he had passed so. In his old age
he became the father of a large family,
the daughter just married being his
last child, born when he was "a years
old.

1t has not been found necessary to

signs point to a patriotic response.
There has been marked rivalry to

cided contest to capture the prize of
first place. AS all the early contribu-
lions cannot be first, Treasurer Shell

Secretary Dover for assistance. Mr..

NEW BUILDING
IS MUCH NEEDED
Starr Piano Company May
Make Addition.

The Starr Piano company will erect
a new and much needed manufactur-
ing building adjoining its factory
here. The new building was to have
been erected this fall, but the matter
was deferred by the board of directors
until the next meeting which is to be
held themiddle of January at which
time it is thought favorable action
will be taken. The new building is
to be a modern brick structure six
stories high, 100 feet long and s. feet
wide. This will give the additional
room needed. With the completion
of the new building a larger force of
men will have to be employed.
