CARGO OF BIRDS BURNED
Partridges and Pheasants Intended
For Indiana Distribution.

State Fish and Game Commissioner
Sweeney learned recently that / 500
Hungarian partridPes and Monaghan
pheasants, which were consigned to
him to be distributed throughout the
state had been destroyed when the
steamer St. Cuthbert was burned off
Halifax a few days ago. These birds
which were young ones, had been
captured in Austro-Hungary and
were consigned directly to a firm in
Yorkley, Pa, who were to distribute
them subject to Mr.. ~Sweeney's or
ders. An effort will be made to dupli-
cate the order. In case that can be
done 1900 birds will be turned loose
in Indiana to take the place of the
quail which have furnished sport for
the huntsmen. If the order cannot
be duplicated, many hunters will be
disappointed, as Mr.. Sweeney had
promised to get the birds in time for
next season. Mr.. Sweeney stated
| that if the birds are secured he will
place a limit on the number of birds
to be shot each day making it not
more than four or five. The birds
weigh about two pounds each.

GOV. HOCH ON KANSAS CITY.

New Hampshire Governor Asks
Rows Extrad.tion.

Despite the fact that France does
not surrender a citizen, but tries such
subject in the French courts for
crimes committed abroad, Gov. Floyd
of Concord. N. H., signed a request
Friday for the extradition of Paul
E. Roy. accused by his wife, Glacia
Gala, of numbering ner brother.
Attorney General Eastman and
County Solicitor Batchelder confer
red with Gov. Floyd and Secretary of
State Pearson in reference to the ex-
tradition OF Roy Friday morning. Fol
lowing the conference the attorney
general said he was firmly convinced
that Roy could be extradited from
France and brought to New Hamp-
shire to stand trial for the crime OF
which he is accused.
The conferees spent much time in
examining the authorities bearing on
the matter OF international extradi-
ton.
The request for the ~cxsradition of
Row is in the usual form of extrad:-
ton between states, except that the
secretary of state at Washington, n
stead OF a governor OF a state. is the
party TO whom the message is direct
ed.

DRUGGISTS GETTING IN THE

March l They Will be Placed on
Every Article That Comes Under
Pure Food Stamps.

Druggists are getting in their sup
ply of official pure food stamps which
will have to be placed upon every
article in drug stores in the United
States which comes under the pure
food law passed by congress. This
law went into effect March 1 OF last
year, but only the articles which
could be directly authorized to be
stamped when the law was first pass
ed It was soon shown that it would
be impossible to put it in effect as
an entirety. In the United States there
are over forty thousand drug stores
and many concerns have their articles
in every one of these stores. 1t was
absolutely impossible in many cases
to prepare stamps and in a few cases
to purify their articles in such a short
time. Because of this the commits
sioner granted certain extensions
wf;ch gave these concerns until the
1st of March of this year to comply
with the law.

feeling of extreme satisfaction that
the Republicans of Northern Indiana

the Hon. Chas. w. Miller as he jour

Tt is to be noted that Mr.. Miller has
never yet stopped to the common
places and vulgarities resorted to by
many candidates who endeavor to
make a show of friendliness for the
public.
His campaign has ever been a clean

with never an underhanded move nor
a subterfuge I o mar the aspect of a
perfect gentleman in politics. This is
laudable in the candidate and is meet,
ing with general approval. Comment

speak well of the man who is fighting
SO fairly and squarely to accomplish
a desired end.

thus detached often mount to- a

pricked off in the register, and sorted

then placed in boxes in the vaults,

Currency Action is Necessary.

familiar part of common argument.
The mai who said he could not fix

now heard about currency legislation.
DO nothing" IS one form of advice

There seemed to be plenty OF money
last fall, but it vanished from sight
and accessibility in a day. A cry was
heard for an immediate extra session
of Congress TO provide for more cur
rency in a crisis, but it was wisely
decided to wait for the regular ses-
sion, which was but a few weeks dis
tant. Congress met nearly two
months ago and took up the currency
question, yet influences are at work
to prevent any action, on the ground
that there is money enough.
The Republicans are in control in
Congress and must bear the response
bility of the currency situation. If
Congress should adjourn without do
ing anything,a combine would be
formed at once 10 reproduce the situa-
ton of last October. Money would be
cornered and boarded, not only to
send it to a premium, but to discredit
the party in the midst Of a presiden-
tial campaign. Such a congressional
hzzle would be monumental. The ma
jority in the present Congress would
dig a tremendous pit for itself by
doing nothing for emergency cur
rency conditions. How would 1t like
to be called in extra session in Angus
or September by a second and worse
crisis to repair its neglect and blind
ness of judgment? The chorus pre-
claiming that no currency legislation
is needed is inviting the Republicans
in Congress to commit political sui
eide. No sooner would Congress adj
journ without action than some of
these same advisers would go to
boarding again.-St. Louis Globe

Mr.. Bradley's Election.

The election to the United States
Senate of former Governor Bradley,
a Republican. by the Legislature of
Kentucky is an unexpected and sur
prising outcome of the long contest.
Southern Legislative fights over the
senatorial Office are by no means I'M
common, but where the leading candi-
date OF the party in the majority can
not control enough votes for his cleo
tin a compromise candidate on whom
all factions can agree IS commonly
chosen. The determination of Beck
ham and his crowd to rule or ruin is
shown by their unwillingness TO con-
slider another man, and the bitterness
of the feeling against him within his
own party is demonstrated in a re-
markable way by the final decision OF
the Democratic opposition to give the
honor to a Republican rather than to
him.
1t is an almost unprecedented sit
uation. Four Democrats only were
needed to elect Bradley. but, though
their action in finally voting for him

On the basis of the call issued by

Horse Kills More Than Auto.

OF 551 deaths upon which claims
have been paid by the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance company in
the last four years, seventeen were
due to automobile accidents and six
.een of tire insured were occupants
of the cars.
These statistics. compiled by Medi-
cal Director j. w. Fischer of the
company. are OF special significance
because OF the statement sen from
the east that insurance companies
probably would make special rates for
automobiles because of the great risk
attendant upon the use of the ma
chine.
DR.. Fischer's statistics and the low
percentage of deaths from automobile
