Madrid, Aug. 25.--With Spain drain
ed Of soldiers to put down the Moroc-
can war. the nation is in peril of an
other revolt which would totally
eclipse the Barcelona riots for blood
shed and violence and might eventual
ly plunge the monarchy into chaotic
state of anarchy from which it would
never fully recover.
Nine thousand prisoners-men, wo-
men and children. are held in Spanish
jails, charged with political offenses.
Troops are making many indiscrimin-
ate arrests. The people are inflamed
with a violent rage against the govern
ment for supporting such a policy.
Agents of the anarchists and radical
socialists are penetrating every sec
ton of Spain. stirring to revolt by
speeches in secret meetings and liter
ature surreptitiously distributed. The
civil governor of Barcelona frankly ad-
mits that another riot of bloodshed
and plumber would present a more
savage aspect to Spain than the riot
ing at Barcelona recently.
Carefully Planned.
The present revolt is being carefully
planned while the Catalonia uprising
was brought about on the spur OF the
moment without plan or preparation.
The cabinet is in session today pre-
pairing the most repressive measures.
The spirit of unrest is to be put down
with an iron hand and antagonism to-
ward the government Is to be crushed
out ruthlessly.
In the general raids families have
been separated and girls torn from
their mothers and cast into a common
jail with felons and murderers.
Again Storm Center.
barcelona is again the storm cen
ter. All of the members of the Casa
De Poro, a socialist society to promote
the cause of personal liberty, have
been arrested. The civil guards with
loaded guns and fixed bayonets break
down the doors of houses and even
drag men and women from their beds
Senior Diaz, a rich merchant, and
his children. were taken from their
beds and placed under arrest. Men OF
wealth and high standing are not i'm
mune. That is what makes the situa
ton so much more alarming.
There is danger of an epidemic
breaking out on account of the un
healthy conditions of the jails. The
prisoners are crowded into dirty, I'M
ventilated cells with mouldy food and
impure water. The Montjuich prison
is overcrowded and the old Castle .!
San Juan has been pressed into serv
ice.

TROUBLE OVER A

Eaton O., Aug. 25-County Survey
or-elect. William Marley. the only
democrat who ever succeeded in land
ing this Office in Preble county. is
confronted with a problem no doubt
more perplexing and harder to solve
than was the question of how to sue
cessfully receive a majority of votes
at the last election
Surveyor Markey's question arises
over the selection Of a deputy. To
most officers upon assuming duties,
this is mere trifle. But Markey's Sc
lection is made problem because the
county fails to afford another survey
or of the faith advocated by democ-
racy.
To employ a republican as deputy
would bring forth a volume of censure
from his constituents. and to import q
deputy from another county would also
cause an infraction of precedence and
bring effective knocks to his second
campaign for Office.

BALLOON ASCENSiONS.

Did you ever know why 1t Is that

promised for O'Clock in the after
noon. never occurs until about CT
asked an expert parachute Jumper.
1t always happens. and the explains
ton generally Is that the preparations
for the ascension could not be made
in time. This 10 rarely the case. for
the balloonist never had any intention
Of going up earlier than just toward
the close Of day. The reason for this
Is that not only is an ascension at any
other time fraught with . little more
danger on account OF the winds which
usually prevail. but also because BY
these same winds the balloon and para
chute nre apt 10 be carried too far
away. perhaps SO far that injury may
befall them before they can be recov-
cred.
THE old and experienced balloonist
never makes IN ascension except just
down Of the sun the winds suoeide
considerably. He can 60 almost straight
up. break away his parachute and
come down in the very lot from which
the ascension was made.
There is really very little danger In
parachute leaping when the man who
does it Is experienced. The parachute
must open and bring him down safely,
though he will have a hair raising drop
like q chunk Of lead for about 100 feet
the distance usually covered before the
big bag opens. Then he can guide his
descent readily by raising or lowering
this side or that in order to spill a lit
tie air and thus keep 1t from drifting.
"A balloon can't be guided. but
parachute with a man Of experience
hanging to it can be controlled as cas-
lily as boat. for the reason that by
fitting it on one side you can force II
in the other direction and thus ma
neuver so that II it is desired you car
deposit yourself on the very spot OF

rienced men who drift or those WIKI
fear they may incline the bag too fal
for safety."-St. Louis Globe Democrat

ence full Of eccentric humor. Some
times his charges met him with the
greatest good humor. Often those
whom he approached felt compelled to
beat back bis persuasions almost at
the point Of the bayonet. for nobody
was so persuasive as Major Pond.
The great preacher, Charles Spur

scale of denial. The first reply ran:

The Vanity Of ceimjWals.


Criminologists speak Of the braggaFt

thief will tell Of the number OF times
he has fooled the police merely By way
OF self justification. He admits the
premise that he was fool ever to b.

triumphs only to indicate to you that
at least he Is not an absolute idiot.
Also criminologists point out the
childish vanity Of the criminal Who
bedecks his person with jewels when
he II prosperous. In this the criminal
is no vainer that his honest brother.
But jewels are about the only sort OF
property that he can safely possess.

AS his wife, formerly Miss Jane ker-

that his defense will be insanity.

Resolution for Improvement
Adopted and City Will
ReadvertiSe.
CAR COMPANY PETITION
IT WILL PAVE WITH BRICK BE-
TWEEN TRACKS IMMEDIATELY
IF GIVEN SPECIAL CONTRACT
OTHER MATTERS.

AT the meeting of the board of works
this morning the question of paving
Eighth street was again discussed.
Another resolution was adopted and
bids will be advertised for as was
done formerly. The Terre Haute, In
dianapolis & Eastern traction was
represented by ]. ]. Appel, vice pres
1dent of the concern. He stated that
the company desired If possible tc
secure special contract for laying
Of bricks between the car tracks. II
is agreed by the company to begin
work Immediately if the special con-
tract is granted to them. The
company desires brick pavement be-
tween the tracks, asserting that as.
phalt is impractical. The board will
take the matter under advisement and
rende it's decision at its next meeting
Friday morning.
Will Probably Be Brick.
1t is declared that it is very prob
able that the entire street from South
A to North A will be paved with brick
notwithstanding the fact that in a
Aoi AASA pCNiIlOl ASPHALT was Te11uCSIcL
by the majority of the resident prop
erty owners. Many have change
their mind in this regard now. it il
said, and it is thought considerable
difficulty will be experienced in get
ting majority to petition for asphal,
again as it's faults have been clearly
pointed out by those favoring a brick
pavement
The board also acted on the sugges
ton of City Attorney Study that ar
expert engineer from the Contra
Bridge company at Indianapolis b.
employed to thoroughly inspect the
Main street bridge and make a repor'
as to its stability. BY doing this il
is said, in case of a collapse of the
structure, the city would be freed from
all responsibility.
The engineer will be engaged imme
diately.
Bids for the improvement of the al
ley between South Seventh and Eighth
street, between C and D were received
at the meeting of the board this morn
ing. The contract will probably b,
awarded Friday.
