Replies to Marshall.
Without mentioning the name OF
the democratic nominee for governor,
Mr.. Hanly took occasion to reply to
two points made in the recent speech
of Thomas R. Marshall at Terre
Haute. He said an inquiry had been
made Sin a querulous mood" as to
why the governor had precipitated a
vote by the legislature on county local
option while that issue was being dis
cussed by the people preparatory to
the registration Of their will In re-
gard to it at the November election.
This was one of the points made by
Marshall in his Terre Haute speech.
He didiculed Mr.. Marshall's criticism.
Ministers Are Defended.
Governor Hanly's shot at the demo-
cratic nominee because of his criti-
cism of the ministers apparently was
appreciated by large number Of cler-
gymen who heard him.
Much has been said about the
Christian ministry beating a drum in
a political procession" said he, but
the Christian ministers are beating
no drum; they are sounding a bugle
call to all men. regardless of party, to
walk in the county local option pro-
cession. Judgment on the liquor traf-
fic began in the Christian church and
the church will continue a militant or
ganization until the people of Indiana
are enfranchised on this proposition.
These cody ministers could no more
abandon this contest than they could
cease to preach the gospel of bless
ed Master"
The climax of the governors speech
was reached when he said:
TT will be the browning act of four
years Of honest endeavor to serve the
people of Indiana if 1 am permitted
to sign the bill establishing county 10
cal option
The audience cheered wildly at this
point

good neighbor and beloved citizen he
was-which lie the recording angel
will overlook for charity's sake, and in
very short time he will be forgotten.
AS he lies out there In the cold, cold
graveyard wrapped in the silent slum-
Der of death, he will meyer know that
the last kind word spoken OF him was
by the editor of that paper which in
life he so spitefully stopped" Did

An Interesting interview was re.
Gently obtained with l.. r. Cooper, the
young man whose theory and medi-
cines have created such sensation
during the past year.
Mr.. Cooper, in speaking of the re-
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: "My medi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why 1t is successful. The human stom-
ach today has become degenerate, and
is the cause for most Ill health. In
the eNhorse, the dog, and the wild ami
mails generally, you see no nerve ex.
haustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stuff themselves with food
when their bodies have not had enough
work to justify 1t. The human race
has been doing this for years, and
look at the result--half the people are
complaining of poor health, not real
illness-just a half-sick, tired, droopy
feeling. They don't really know what
is the matter with them.

caused by weak, overworked stonl-
achs. I have proved this with my
medicine to many thousands of peo-
pie in most of the leading cities OF
this country. expect to do the same
thing in Europe next year. This is
the real reason for the demand for
my preparation"

been converted to Cooper's theory is

DRIVER ANTS.
The Way These Ferocious Little In
sects Defy the Freshets.


There are certain ants that show
wonderful Intelligence, and the driver
ants" not only build boats, but launch
them too. Only these boats are formed
of their own bodies.
They are called drivers" because of
their ferocity. Nothing can stand be-
fore the attacks of these little crea-
lures. Large pythons have been killed
by them in single night while chick
ems, lizards and other animals In west
ern Africa flee from them in terror.
To protect themselves from the heat
they erect arches, under which numer-
GUS armies Of them pass in safety.
Sometimes the arch Is made of grass
and earth and Is gummed together by
some secretion, and again it Is formed
by the bodies of the larger ants, which
hold themselves together by their
strong nippers while the workers pass
under them.
At certain times of the year freshets
overflow the country inhabited by the
drivers" and 1t is then that these ants
go to sea. The rain comes suddenly,
and the walls of their houses are
broken in by the flood; but, instead of
coming to the surface in scattered hun
dreds and being swept off to destruc-
ton, out of the ruins rises a black
ball that rides safely on the water and
riffs away.
At the first warning of danger the
little creatures run together and form
a solid body of ants, the weaker In the
center. Often this ball is larger than
a common cricket ball, and in this way
they float about until they lodge
against some tree, upon the branches
of which they are soon safe and sound

Opium From Lettuce.

A sort of opium is obtained from the
common lettuce. The scientists give it

something very learned and profound,
and declare that they find important
differences between the opium Of the
lettuce and the opium of the poppy,
but for all practical purposes the one
is identical with the other. Many a
man who has eaten lettuce knows how
sleepy it causes him to become an hour
or so after dinner, and the older the
lettuce the greater the sleepiness, for
