About two hundred Democrats of

School Boy Blown to Pieces by Dy-
Mantle Caps.

A Lucerne, Cass county lad, aged
eleven years, was blown to pieces,
Tuesday, toying with dynamite caps
He was a son of Daniel Bingaman.
The boys hand was blown complete
ly off. The flesh was stripped from
his arm and from his breast His
lungs were exposed, and there is no
probability that he can survive
Three dozen caps exploded when
the boy lit a match to one of them
Each of them had 500 pounds explo-
sive force.
That there was anything left of
the youngster is the miracle Lucerne
folks are considering. He was sur
sounded by playmates when the ac-
cident happened. but none of these
were hurt
In company with other boys he
visited a vacant house two and a half
miles from Lucerne. They found the
caps there. Bingaman put them in
his pocket AT the school house he
tried to light one of them. He had
a dozen in his left hand at the time.
When the experimental cap went off
it fired the others. Dr. Burton, Lu-
cerne. and DR.. May6eld, Royal Gen.
ter, worked all Tuesday trying to
save the boys life.

Two negroes, Curry Robertson and
John Henry, were lynched Thursday
near Hawkinsville, Ca, and their
bodies burned. They were charged
with the murder of Mr.. and Mrs.

One OF the negroes confessed to
the crime and said the motive was
robbery. Robertson and Henry were
arrested Wednesday following the
discovery of the bod of Warren
Hart. His wife was lying near by
in dying condition. The murder
took place near Frazie the home of
the Harts.
Mr. Hart had been killed by a
blow on the head, apparently made
by an AK. Mrs. Hart was seriously
beaten and was found unconscious
She died Wednesday night without
having regaaned consciousness.
The negroes quietly were taken
from the county jail and carried some
disance from the town, where the :
were hanged to a tree The lynching

Kansas is Out Strong for Secretary
Taft

Kansas Republicans in state con-
vention at Topeka. Wednesday elected
four delegates-at-large to the Chicago
convention. instructed to vote for the
nomination of Secretary Taft for
President The platform, which was
adopted amid much enthusiasm, de-
clares:
THE Republicans of Kansas are of
one mind in the choice OF candidate
of the party for President of the Unit
ed States. The proved stasesmanship,
executive ability and magnificent man
hood OF our candidate mt him for the
office and command the approval and
confidence of the people; therefore,
'We instruct the delegates to the
national convention to vote on every
preliminary and test vote and on ev-
.ry ballot for the nomination of w.
H. Taft"
The resolutions indorse the admin
stration of President Roosevelt. and
he work of the Kansas delegation in
Congress.
J. b. Adams of FL Dorado. who was
selected as chairman, said in opening
The convention: There is somewhere
I common ground upon which all Re
publcans can stand; somewhere be-
tween the radical and the reactionary
between the progressive and the con-
servative, there is the golden mean,
the so-called happy medium. the COM
mon ground upon which all the Re-
publicans of this country can stand
together and upon which the integ-
rity an dsupremacy of the party can
and will be established and perpetu-
ated. The one man big enough, broad
enough, fair enough and strong
enough to find this common ground
and bring together the divergent, an
tagonistic and seemingly irreconcil-
able divisions of the Republican party
is William II. Taft of Ohio"
David R. Mulvane of Topeka was
indorsed for national committeeman.
Willis J. Bailey former governor,
before he entered the convention
Wednesday, announced his withdraw
al from the race for the nomination
for governor by the Republicans.
Wednesdays convention probably
will be the last state convention to
be held in Kansas. Hereafter candi-
dates are to be chosen by primaries.

Venezuela Paying its Debt.

After delay of over four years
Venezuela has finally made the first
payment on the Mexican claim for
100000, draft for $55,60O being re-
ceNed by the Mexican government
Saturday.
The origin of the claim was loan
made to Colombia about the middle
of the last century at a time when
Venezuela and Colombia were united.
When the two nations were again
separated Venezuela assumed respon-
sibilty of the Mexican loan, which
Castro eventually repudiated.
Fifty years ago Mexico sold the
claim To Martin Martinez del Rio, OF
whose estate the hate Fable Martinez
del Rio was the principal holder.
Five years ago Mexico pressed the
claim, it being finally decided to ar
bitrate, with Spain as mediator. The
decision was favorable to Mexico, but
Castro refused Ito accept it and ap-
pealed to The Hague court, which
affirmed the first decision.

LESS AID TO POOR.
Statistics Show Present Laws Have
Worked to Advantage of Helped
and Helper.

The Board OF State Charities has
received from each county in the state
a full report of the aid given the poor
by township trustees during the year
1907 from funds raised by taxation.
The reports show a total expenditure
for tnis prr1pose Of 1927, ,304.71. In
comparison with sums spent in some
former years the record for 1907 is
remarkably low. In 1891 the aid given
the poor by the township trustees
cost the public s56O.OO0; in 1898, s511,-
900; in 1895, $63OOOO.
The present law governing this item
of public expense were enacted by
the Legislature of 1895. 1897 and 1899
They are based upon the principles
which charity organization societies
throughout the country apply TO, bet
tering the condition of the poor. and
under them there has been remark
able reduction in the public expense.
This reduction has naturally had its
effect on taxation. Prior TO 1897 all
bills for the relief of the poor were
paid by the counties from a general
poor fund, and the expense was equit-
ably distributed among the different
townships For the last ten years,
however. each township has been re-
auired to care for its own poor. the
trustee levying a tax against all the
property in his township for that pur-
pose.
In 1898 uhe levy in 435 tovnsh lps
was cents and over. In Some OF
these the rate was OCCASION y as
high as 30 cents on $1OO Thee were
sixty.four townships in which no levy
was required In 1907 these figures
were practically turned around There
we're but seventy-eigit townships
which had levy of 5 cents and over,
the highest of which was 10 cents,
and in 335 townships no levy was re-
quired. A 1O-cent levy was made
in the following townships in 1907;
Harrison. in Bartholomew County;
Brwn, in Crawford County; Polk, in
Monroe County; Union, in Perry
County.

slO-fell into the slough of despond
Wednesday and is now in the hands
of temporary receiver. George F.
Null of Indianapolis.
There are $4,000 stockholders in the

81 900, 600 has been paid in for stock.

in Laporte when David Kabacker,
Charles Zimmerman, W. E. Sanders.

piled for the appointment of re-
ceivership for the Chicago-New York
Electric Air line company, the Coop
eratve Construction company, the
Western Securities company, the
Goshen, South Bend and Chicago
Railway company, the Gary and In

ors of the companies, are named as

The complaint reveals the inner
workings of the gigantic scheme
which was started two years ago by
number of promoters, and many
facts hitherto unknown are made pub
lie. The Air Line, the Cooperative
Construction, and the Hancock com
panies were incorporated under laws
of Maine. while the Goshen, South
Bend and Chicago Railway company
is an Indiana corporation, having been
organized for the purpose OF building
the Indiana section of the main line"
1t is alleged that the claim of the
company that the road could be built
between Chicago, and New York for
5000, 100000 is wrong, that it cannot
be built for less than 100000, 900,
and that all representations to the
contrary were false and fraudulent
and made to deceive prospective pur
chasers of stock
The defendants are charged, further,
with using the mails OF the United
States for the purpose of defrauding
citizens.
The plaintiffs claim that the shares
of stock Of rhe railroad company can
not now be sold by the company to
she general public on account of dis
trusts and reports of fraudulent con-
duct of the defendants, and that the
company will not be able to build any
more than its present few miles OF

IMPURE MILK KILLS BAHIES
BY THOUSANDS.
Report of Surgeon-General Made for

/ The terrible menace 70 public
health involved in the sale of impure
milk is shown in a report of Surgeon
General Walter Wyman, of the pub
lie health service, submitted to Sec
retary Cortelyou The report, which
fills $50 pages, gives the result of the
investigation ordered by President
Roosevelt and conducted by Federal
experts under the direction of Prof.
M. ]. Rosenau.
THE steady decrease in general
mortality does not apply TO the in
fants,' says DR.. Wyman. at is rec
ognized that gastro-intestinal disease
is the largest single fatcor determin-
ing infant mortality. This enormous
loss OF potential wealth is of grave
concern to the state and worthy OF
most careful consideration. 1t has
been the object of this work to in
clude all available data showing the
influence of milk as a carrier of infec-
ton and the measures necessary in
consequence"
DR.. Wyman declares that the ideal
milk, drawn from a COW with heal
thy udder and preserved from con-
tamination is not the milk OF COM
merce, and he cites the fact that
samples of market milk in New York
showed 35,20O,000 bacteria to he cub
&c centimeter; London, 31,sss, 900;
Washington, 22,134,000. He calls at
tention to the evidence presented in
the report as proof that 500 epidemics
of typhoid fever, scarlet fever, and
diphtheria were caused by infected
adduced that IL per cent. of the
samples of Washington milk con-
tanned tubercle germs.
"Dr. Eager" he says gives figures
to prove that the high infant moral
ity may be attributed .lmost entire
ly to impure milk"
1ne urgeon-general writes:
"Dr. Mohler points out that prob
ably the most important disease
cows, from the standpoint of public
health. is tuberculosis, and that it is
the most prevalent He insists that
all milk should come from either tu-
,berculosis tested cattle or be SUBJ
jected to pasteurization.
while pasteurization is not the
ideal to be sought, practically it is
forced upon us by present conditions
1t prevents much sickness and saves
many hves-facts which justify its
use under proper conditions. 1t is
recommended that IN large commun-
sties at least pasteurization should be
under the direct supervision of the
health authorities"
