The party were somewhat alarmed
two weeks ago when Theodore Edison
was compelled to submit to an opera

Mr.. Edison has resumed his research
work and experiments at his West Or

labors with characteristic vim.

South pleasure home, and among Mr.

party joined. Sailing and strolls also
made up part of the vacationNroutine.
Mr.. Edison has been dieting himself
lately and while he is not a pronounced
vegetarian, he has been eschewing as

daily meals. During the vacation Pc
riod the distinguished inventor has read
considerably and his book included many
works bearing on the use of foods.

TO CONTROL YELLOW RIVER.
Expert Says Farmers Should Build
Levees Near Kankakee to Pre-
vent Overflow.

According to Mr. McEathron, the
government engineer who has been
inspecting the valleys of the Yellow
river and Kankakee the easiest way
for land owners along Yellow river
TO prevent the stream over-flowlng
is to build levees on each side OF the
channel FIVE miles up from its con-
fluence with the Kankakee. 1t is
his opinion that the dykes should be
twenty-four feet wide at the mouth
of the stream and FIVE feet high. They
should be constructed 200 feet back
from the stream, on each side which
would make a channel large enough
TO carry the water at all times On
the north side of the stream the levee
should extend about 2 miles east of
the Jackson township line. but on the
south side the embankment should
etxend to the ]. J. Cannon farm.
Flowing between such levees, Mr.. Nc
Eathron says the river will keep it
self clear of sand and debris. The
cost for both levees should not exceed
$4,000. The plan certainly looks
feasible, and it is to be hoped will
furnish land owners along this stream
the protection they need.

LAKE ERIE WRECK.

trouble, Wednesday evening, about
two and one half miles north. OF Ply
mouth, that delayed the train nearly
six hours The cause of the trouble
was that the forward trucks under
the tender left the rails and ran along
on the ties.
That a most terrible wreck was
narrowly averted by the timely stop
ping of the train, which was in charge
of Conduc tor Ream was afterward
shown when the fact was discovered
that the trucks had run along on
and torn up the ties for a distance of
about one Clalf mile. When the train
came to a standstill the tender rested
at an angle of 45 degrees and it was
evident that in another short space
of time the coal car would have left
the track and horrible wreck en-
sued. The passengers who were shak-
en- up by the sudden appliance OF the
air brakes were soon nearly all on
The scene and many remarks as to
the luckiness of the train being stop
ped just then were passed between

The wreck train was called from
Peru and the engine pulling the pas
senger train was first taken to Ply
mouth. The wreck crew then soon
had the tender back in position and
the train proceeded about six hours
late.

ENUMERATION OF
VOTERS IS MADE
CHANGES IN POPULATION Me-
cESSITATEs REAPPoRTIoN-
MENT OF DISTRICT.
However Such Action is Not Expect
ed From Next Session-Power
Divided

The state auditor has completed,
for the use of the coming general as
sembly, the enumeration OF voters for
1909, on which the legislature must
base its legislative and congressional
apportionments, if such apportion-
ments are made. The changes an pop
ulation in the state have been such
that reapportionments are due, but
politicians regard it as altogether un-
likely that any will be made The
fact that the senate is Republican and
the house Democratic explains this.
An apportionment act must take the
sane course as any other act OF the
legislature and it is not believed that
any program of reapportionment can
be arranged that will meet the ap-
proval of bota houses,
In case an apportionmcnt is made,
however, the enumeration shows that
Marion county will probably gain one
state senator and two representatives
The average population for the fifty
senatorial districts under the new en-
umeration is 1905. Marion county
enumeration OF 72,96S is practically
five times the average named. The
county now has four senators. The
average found for the 100 represen-
tatiyes in the lower, house is 7,452.
The county's total vote, divided bv
ten, is only a little less than this.
There are no weight representatives
from the county,
II has Teen suggested, too, that this
county might gain lis representation
in congress. The average for each
congressional district is now 57,325
The seventh district, Marion county
has 1886 votes, making a surplus oil
more than $4,000 votes. In case OF a
reapportionmcnt the county will prob
ably be made one district by itself
and part OF district with anothei
county, since, under the law, county
cannot be divided for congressional
apportionment The increase in the
population OF the county since the en-.
umeration OF 1903 has been 14,714.
The total vote of the state is shown
to be 745,227. of which 1905 is col
ored Several of dsDe congressional
districts, as at present organized, vii
be far short OF the average OF 57,32'
and will be subject to redistricting, o.
course, if the legislature succeeds ir
reac hing a program satisfactory tc
both houses. The first district has
50,972 voters; the second, 54,935; the
third, 45,047; the fourth, 47,445; the
fifth, 63,714; the sixth. 56,67l; the
eighth, 60.T73; the ninth, 55,v56; the
tenth, 67.5O7; the eleventh, 56,496; the
twelfth, 52,OOS; the thirteenth, 6l,102
Several districts show slight falling
off in the number of voters. The gair
of 5000 in the fifth is the largest
aside from the seventh.
