WAS WRONG man
John Brown, of Milton, Be-
sieged at Connersvi|Ie>
BY Pretty Women.
WERE ANSWERING AN "AD"

Milton, Ind, Sept. 5.-John Brown,
one of the tall, handsome and es-
teemed men of Milton, met his fate at
the Connersville fair Thursday. Brown
spruced up in his best Sunday-go-to-
meeting clothes, consisting of blue
serge suit, patent leather shoes and
fine Panama hat. With his IT'S
pounds of flesh and fine clothes he an
swered exactly to the description in
an advertisement of man who would
give the first woman addressing him
as You are the mani" a $500 bill.
Mr.. Brown did not know of this and
had just passed through the gate
when a fine looking young woman
stepped up to him and said You are
the man."
John looked "kind-a-funny," as his
neighbors say, but he did not lose his
nerve. He replied, mo am not, for
/ am married now" But his troubles
had only started. When he got farth.
err past the gate more women tackled
him. They all tried to see which was
the first to get to him. Hats and
clothes didn't count for anything, and
rats, puffs and many other articles OF
the feminine luxury were lost in the
effort to be the first to say to John
Brown, probably one of the descend
ants of the famous John Brown who
made the raid at Harper's Ferry
"You are the man." They were all
due to disappointment for poor John
was not 1.-THE man."

Near an Outrage.

les CONCERNING his RELA-
TONS WITH CHURCH.

Editor of the Palladium-Please
send me the Palladium for draft in
closed for $500, for one year, but l do
not want any more such articles pub
lished as was some time ago wrote up
by C. M. Ginther and DIR. Canady, as
from the best information 1 get, am
certain they got them articles up,
which is too much of an outrage on me
to be tolerated much longer, or
must take steps to stop such. Yours
respectfully,
JAMES M. WYATT"
The above communication was re-
ceived by the Palladium. 1t was dat
ed at Lordsburg, Calf 1t is repro
duced so the readers of the Palladium
can ascertain just how indignant is
Mr.. Wyatt, who is one of the former
owners of the defunct Commercial
bank of Hagerstown.
The cause of Mr.. Wyatt's indigna-
ton were the articles appearing in the
Palladium and other newspapers at the
time the Dunkard church near Hagers-
pillar, considered the ACCESSIBILITY Of
ousting him from that institution.
Charges were made against Wyatt that
as trustee of the church he placed its
funds in the Commercial bank and, it
is alleged, failed to withdraw them
prior to the failure of the bank, not
withstanding the fact he was believed
to know the institution was insolvent
through the illegal actions Of Cashier
Bowman, who committed suicide few
days before the startling discovery was
made that the banks affairs were tan
gled.
Wyatt Indignantly denied the charge
that he knew the bank was insolvent
and he was vigorously supported by
members of the Dunkard church in
California. The Hagerstown Dunk
ards, after much consideration of the
Wyatt matter, decided not to expel
him from the church.

IMPURE MILK
CAUSES FEVERS
This Fact Is Asserted by Gov
eminent Experts.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Recently gov
eminent experts have been giving the
question of handling fevers a
considerable amount of attention, and
manyreports have been rendered from
various officers in different parts of
the United States. These reports deal
with questions from every known ny
gienic and sanitary standpoint, and
many valuable suggestions are con-
tanned for the layman. 1t is the con
census of opinion of practically all OF
the experts who have reported that
more cases of fever are directly trace
able to the use Of impure milk than to
any other one known cause.

Silverton Standard: Snow has
disappeared wonderfully in the past
ten days. Good sized rivulets are
running bank full on all ouI streets.
and extensive patches of bare ground
are beginning to show up on the
highest hills. The railroads to Glad
stone and Eureka are again open and
prospects certainly look good for an
early season in the highest mining
districts. 1t is surely fact that
spring is here at last since today we
saw the boys playing marbles on
the street. The above was written

that in this region Old Winter has

ordinary of the Brown Palace hotel,
when Charles j. Hughes, the great

BILE Maker" Thomas M. Patterson to
the oblivion to which he was enti-
tied. 1t was conceded that the
speech of Mr.. Hughes was one of the
greatest oratorical efforts ever heard

oughly unmasked Mr.. Patterson that
there is no place left for him in the

SUFFERING WITH FEVER
HE WALKED INTO TOWN

This afternoon man giving his
name as Henry Halstead, and who
has been employed on a ranch east
of the Indian school, walked into
town, although he was very ill, and
went to the Office of DIR. A. G. Tay-
lor in the Canon block. The man
did not know from what malady he
was suffering; but Immediately upon
examining him DIR. Taylor was con-
WINGED that the man was suffering
from a severe attack of scarlet fe-
yer.
DIR. Taylor did not know what to
do with the sick man, as it was dam
gerous to taIse him through tire
streets until it was certain where
he could be housed.
Chief of Police O'Nei1 was noti-
fed, and he in turn notified the coun-
ty commissioners and Acting County
Physician Reed was instructed to
look after the case.
For about two hours the officer
and the physician endcavorcd to find
some house where the man suffering
from a contagious disease could be
kept; but the search was without
avail, as few people cared to be
placed under 6-weel<s quarantine
for any reasonable consideration.
However, late this afternoon a
place was found and the sick man
was, with all possible care, removed
from the PHYSICIANS Office. He is
very ill, and during the time that
he was waiting for quarters to be
found for him suffered a great deal.
DIR. Taylor Immediately after the
departure of the sick man put his
offices through a thorough system of
disinfectiOn.

LOCAL FRUIT CONDITIONS
ARE ABSOLUTELY Ideal.

In talking with leading fruit grow
ers and real estate men who travel
over the valley extensively, The Sem
tinel finds every reason To be graft
fed over the existing fruit conditions
in this county.
The season is at least three weeks
behind last season, which is exceed
ingly satisfactory to the fruit grow
ers. This time last year the apricots
were in full bloom and the peaches
were almost in full bloom. Entirely
too early to be safe. The apples
were well along toward budding. 1t
was a premature season, and along
came the late frosts and-yop know
the rest. The fruit crop was greatly
damaged, although wnen the season
was over, it was found that the fruit
growers had received more money
for the short crop of 1907 than they
did for the bumper crop of 1906, ow-
ing to the general shortage of the
fruit crops throughout the country.
At the present time the apples are
absolutely dormant, the buds giving
but very, very little signs of life.
The peaches, apricots and plums are
beginning to swell" considerably,
but still will not be in bloom for sew
eral weeks. The trees are in ex-
cellent condition. the outlook could
not be more satisfactory. The av-
erage date for the latest killing frost
in the spring is April IA. Here it
is March 25, and not fruit bloom is
out in this section of the valley and
very few, if any, apricots are in
bloom in the upper end of the valley.
1t certainly looks as though the
Grand valley fruit growers will pass
over the late frost danger period
safely and that the 1908 fruit crop
will be the largest by 100 per cent
ever raised in the valley.

Some of the local citizens were
somewhat exercised over the report
that the experts on the potato train
had declared that potatoes could not
be successfully raised in the Grand
Junction section. The Sentinel does
not believe that any of the experts
intended to leave any such impress
sion from any statement they might
have made. One of the professors
in talking to a Sentinel representa-
tive said. I'VE are not giving our
lectures here as this is not a pota-
to raising section. You grow fruit
here, and potatoes are generally
raised where fruit cannot be grown
with a great degree of success" The
professor did not mean to imply that
potatoes cannot be successfully
raised in the country surrounding
Grand Junction, but he meant that
fruit raising and not potato raising
is the chief industry in the Grand
Junction district, which certainly is
true. AS fine potatoes as ever grew
have been raised within few miles
of Grand Junction. and the yield per
acre in this particular section has
been record breaking, but this is not
a section where potato raising is
made the leading industry for the
ground is ideally adapted to the more
profitable industry of fruit culture.

The announcement by the Sep,i-
mel yesterday of the sale of the G.
acre peach orchard of H. G.. Crissey
for a consideration of $4,000 per
acre was received with great de-
gree of unbelief by many of the new
comers to the valley. $4,000 per
acre for a young peach orchard was
past their comprehension. Howev-
err the older residents, while greatly
interested, were not very greatly
surprised, for it has long been prov
en- that the orchards of Grand val
ley, when in excellent condition, as
this orchard is, are good investments
even at the cost of $4 900 per acre.

 As to grain, it is sold in bags of differ ent capacities. Barley is put up in bags of 100 pounds, and sells at $3 per bag, or cents pound.

 Some South African Pests.
 These prices are largely due to poor labor, lack of transportation and insect pests. One of the chief pests is the locust. which sweeps over the country in swarms of great magnitude. I have ridden through miles of such swarms on the cars. At times the locusts are so thick that they almost hide the sun. The air Is filled with flying beetles. with sparkling white wings, and one looks on and on. seeing nothing but locusts as far as the eye can reach. Looking down along the sides of the train the ground is covered with these crawling insects, and you can notice them in front fleeing from the en- gine The locomotive seems to be sweep ing them apart like a snow blow. and this work continues for miles and miles as the train goes on. Sometimes they are so many that the wheels of the cars. going over them, crush them upon the rails, and the rails thereby become greased and the wheels roll around without catching.
 At some of the stations have stepped out of the train and scooped up hand full of locusts. They look just like our grasshoppers and are probably the same
