PLEASED WITH
HOSPITAL SITE
DIR. ]. N. HURRY THINKS COM
MISSION DID WISELY IN
SELL CITING PARKE
COUNTY FARM--CON-
DITIONS ALMOST
IDEAL.

DR.. J. N. Hurry, secretary of the
state board of health, has returned
from Parke county, where he visited
the site for the new tuberculosis hos
pital. He is enthusiastic over what
he saw.
81 regard the site as almost ideal"
he said About one-third of the 500
acres is woodland. another one-third
is rolling pasture land ond the re-
naming one-third Is bottom land.
Raccoon creek flows through the
western edge, of. the reservation. This
is an unfailing stream of beautiful
clear water. Conditions exist for max
ing fresh water lake OF considerable
size. The ground water supply is
good and abundant as shown by
we'll specially driven and by the ex-
animation of other wells in the neigh
borhood. The commission did wisely
in accepting the Parke county site
1t may not be as accessible as might
be desired, bun this is not a condemn
ing condition. Rockville can BE
reached in a little more than two
hours from Indianapolis"
The doctor thinks that it would be
good business and true economy for
the general assembly to- make a
healthy appropriation for the new in
stitutfon. He said:
81 think the appropriation for the
necessary buildings and supplies
should not be less than 100000. An
act appropr:ating this sum would be
a good piece of business and decid
ed economy. Unlike the insane and
the feeble-minded, large proper
ton of consumptives are returned to
health, cured and strong, and more
than this competent TO teach others
how not 10 have consumption and
other diseases.
For fear that some might think
that the expenditure OF this sum "a
not warranted, | will say that if one
hundredth as many lives were lost
through poisoning with arsenic as
are lost through the poison OF con
SUMPTION, the people would not hes
tate at any expense like that of pro-
tecting and furthering the public
health.

CHARGE CASE
OF FRAUD
CONSPIRACY CHARGES MADE
IN SUIT FOR RECEIVER
SHIP AGAINST MT. STER-
LING OIL COMPANY
AT SOUTH
BEND.

Alleging conspiracy al d fraudulent
misappropriaaon of the funds OF the
Moun Sterling Oil Company, suit
was filed in the St. Joseph circuit
court Thursday by E. Newton Nc
Cormick of Lexington, KY, against
the oil company and its directors,
William Kizer, Dudley NJ. Shively,
Samuel NJ Robinson DR.. Frank L.
ConlNlin, Samuel B. Robinson and the

son. The plaintiff will ask for an ac-
counting and the appointment OF a

Seebir.
The complaint will set forth that
the Mount Sterling Oil company wa,
organized in 1900 and that n 1901
the confpany's leases and property
were sold TO Pftts5urg parties AT
that time the company had about
$4,000 in its treasury and it is these
funds the plaintiff alleges the de-
PENDANTS have Incorporated and
d;ssipated They we're enabled to do
this, he alleges, for the reason that
they had exclusive charge and contra
of the affairs of the company
1t appears that the plaintiff is the
owner of 500 shares OF stock in the
company of race value of 500 "a
share.
For additional cause of complaint
Mr.. Mccormick charges that during
the time the defendants were officers
and directors of the Mount Sterling
Oil company, for he purpose OF abb
sorbing the profits and earnings OF
the company, they voted themselves
large salaries and travelling expenses
The defendants, it is alleged, own
$500 shares of .he company's stock
and that they conspircd together to
render the stock owned by plaintiff
valueless. 1t is further charged that
practically all of the stock held y
defendants WIS not paid for.

TWO CENTURY SEARCH ENDS.
Remains of Discoverers Who Were
Victims of Massacre, Found.

A party of Jesuit Fathers has just
returned to St. Boniface from Win
nipeg, Man, after finding THE re-
mains of 30 discoveries, who under
Jean Baptiste de la Verandrye, son
of the great discoverer, Sieur de la
Verandrye, were massacred by Indi-
ans in the lower end of Lac Woods in
1897.
The location of the bodies of the
party has been sought by the church
of Rome for almost two centuries
numerous parties having undertaken
the search. All the bodies were found
in remarkable state of preservation,
all having been decal itated. They
will be brought to Winnipeg and

Windows to Go Bare.

Autographs of Taft and Bryan will
not be posted abroad over the land
unless President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor says
SO. Orders for 100000 pictures,
placed by the Republican campaign
committee, and for 100000 by the
Democratic organizations are being
held up.
All the trouble has resulted from
the inability of the contractors to
produce the union label on the
pictures All the lithographing estab-
lishments are open shops. Some time
ago the Poster Artists association
applied to the federation for men,
bership. For some unknown reason
their application was rejected.
When the orders were given the
contractors the committeeman for
got about the trouble. 1t was speci-
fed that the union label must appear.
A few days ago the committeeman
sent hurry-up orders for the litho-
graphs. Then the reason had to be
told.
An appeal has been made to Comp
ers to come to the aid of the parties.
So far he has failed to do so. The
national committeeman declare that
they believe that he will, but they
hope he will hurry up about it. If
he does not it is probable that several
thousand voters will not
have the pleasure of posting their
favorite candidates picture in their
front windows.

SIMPLY A SUGGESTION.

An injunction suit has been filed
against the city, to restrain the coun-
cilmen from granting the electric
light franchise to c. d. Snoeberger,
which they had set themselves on
record as being in favor of doing.
This arises from the completely
of bids which were submitted, and
the various results obtained by per-
sons comparing them, the results be-
ing generally more or less in accord
ance with views they had previously
taken on the question.
The Tribune is heartily in favor OF
awarding the contract to- the lowest
bidder, regardless of personal griev,
ances or prejudices.
1t seems, as the situation now
stands, that this will be impossible to
do, without long drawn legal fight.
In this fight enemies will probably
be made, and friendships blasted.
Therefore why not have the council
reject all bids now in its hands, and
IN asking for. new bids, sup
ply each bidder with a blank BID form
in which the wording is IDENTICAL
let the council prepare as many prop
ositions as it sees fit, leaving blank
spaces for the bidders to supply mum,
bers, figures and prices. In this way
the council will not have different
propositions, different grammar, and
different figures to compare, but hav-
ing all propositions etc. alike, will
only have to compare figures. In
this way the matter could De correct
ly decided, and to the satisfaction of
all

Down on the Farm.

Two ideas about the farm are gen.
orally accepted. One is that the crops
make the substantial basis OF national
wealth. The other is that life in the
country has few charms for the boys
and girls. The hours of labor are
long. The horizon is limited The
pleasures are few. And just over
there is the city with its constant ex-
element, its wider outlook.
There is not much question about
the prosperity OF the farmer, consld-
cred as class. The crop reports tell
their own story. The progress made
IN the development of agricultural re-
sources during recent years has been
remarkable. Some of the greatest OF
government undertakings have to do
with the Improvement of facilities for
agriculture. The future, therefore, is
full of promise FOR this class OF citi-
zens.
Better facilities for farming and
better farming through the use of
these facilities have been the watch
words Machinery has been perfect
ed to- reduce personal toll Soils have
been studied to increase their effic-
iency in production The whole trend
of interest inNthe farm has been with
the economic idea uppermost. But the

Even now the farmers lot IS far

Rural free delivery has made COM

weekly papers and other periodicals

places the telephone has advanced
from a convenience to household
necessity. Often the trolley line is
found by the roadside On large
farms the automobile, in some form,
has gained favor. The isolation and
loneliness of former days have disap,
peared
But there as food for thought in
certain words of President Roosevelt:
agriculture is not the whole OF
country life. The great rural interests
ere human interests, and good crops
are OF little value to the farmer un-
less they open the door to- good
kind of life on the farm" 1t is an
other illustration of the keen percep-
tion by the presidnet OF national val
ues lying outside the domain of poll
tics. The conservation of resources"
and now "better, happier. more con-
tented, and more efficient men and
women, boys and girls on the farm"
make a PAIR of non-political policies
which proclaim a largeness of view
marking a great man among our pres
idents.

ROAD LAW.

That the sixteen hour law" passed
by the last legislature applies to in,
terurban lines as we'll as steam rail-
roads within this state was the con-
struction placed on the law in an
opinion sent out by the Indiana rail-
road commission in response to an
informal inquiry made of the com,
mission Aug 6. The information wa,
sought by traction employees
The opinion for the commission

provides that 1T shall be unlawful
for any superintendent, train dis
patcher, yardmaster, foreman or 9TH
err railway official to permit, exact,
demand or require any engineer, fire,
man, conductor, brakeman, switch,
man, telegraph operator or other en-
pfoyes engaged in the movement OF
passenger or freight trains, or in
switching service, in yards or railway
stations, to remain OIL duty more
than sixteen consecutive hours"
The Railroad commission holds
that the classes of officials and en-
ployes, set forth in the act, include
both those connected with steam and
ing in the language of the statute
which necessarily antagonizes the
idea that it was intended TO apply
alike to all roads.
while the legislature might, per-
haps, constitutionally pass an act to
protect travellers and employees on
steam lines only," says the opinion,
yet it is scarcely probable that it
would deem it proper or necessary to
exclude, from the safeguards provid-
ed for steam railway passengers and
employees, those who took passage
upon or would be employed by cleo
trio lines"
The comission says that the act of
1907 is based upon the act OF 1903.

The commission points out a num-
Der of statutes where it was stated
expressly that the acts should not ap.
ply to interurbans and in closing
says: THE fact that the word train
is employed in the sixteen hour law
does not necessarily indicate that it
would not apply to a train consisting

the statutes, approved on the same
day with the act in question, the title

There is some talk among local
people of organizing a company TO
build an electric line, beginning at
Plymouth. running northeast past the
Lake OF the Woods through Bremen
and Nappanee and joining the VII
mona line at Milford or Milford juno
ton. This line would touch territory
rich IL every respect, and the line is
entirely feasible. 1t is the belief of
the promoters that the towns along
the route proposed will work for this
line--Bremen Enquirer Good idea,
why not try to push ong?
1t pans us to note that Editor
Metsker has not yet recovered from
the shock and fright, which he ex-
perienced upon recently running his

talk as somebody trying to pan off as

the rawlings of a whisky or otherwise
crazed brain. Anyone with half sense
would know better.
