DANGERS OF LIGHTNING.
What Facts and Figures Teach
Regarding the
Same.

In the days OF summer light
ming storms, it rs of interest to
know that a barn is four times
as dangerous as a residence, that
a country house is struck five
times oftener than a city build
ing, and that an oak is struck
fifty times oftener than a beech
In the United States the annual
average OF lives lost by lightning
is about 200. Such cataStrophes
always occur in the five months
from April to September, while
more than two thirds OF them
take place during June and July.
The annual average value OF pro-
perty destroyed by lightning is
about 81, 100000. In a single
year 233 barns, 664 dwellings and
104 churches were struck by
lightning. The destruction OF
barns is usually greatest in New
York, Pennsylvania, Mlassachu-
sets, Indiana and New Jersey.
In the destruction OF dwellings,,
Pennsylvania and New York
head the list, with an equal num-
Der. The weather bureau asks
for 20 years in which to deter
mine from statistics, whether
there exists a periodicity in the
number OF lightning strokes. J"
Tie bureau, has discovered, how
ever, that lightning does some
times strike in the same place.

The State Ticket.

1t Is source OF deep gratlfica-
ton to Indiana Republicans to
consider the work which has
been done, and which is being
done by Republican state officers
The statehouse, with the excep-
tion of the governors office and
THE department on public instruc-
ton, and one or two bureaus
which fortuitously, have gone
temporarily into the hands of
Democrats is occupied by Re-
publican officers who are max
ing a splendid record for eff
cheney, economy and business ad-
miniStration.
The Republican party in In
diana has been strong for many
years because it has chosen its
candidates for state Offices with
every increasing care. Where a
mistake has ever been made the
Republican party has not hesitat-
ed to do its own housekeeping
without fear or favor. 1t is a
matter for congratulation, both
to party and to the people of
the state, that errors have been
remarkably few, and that house
cleaning has been thorough,
where called for.
This year, with a record for
efficiency and capacity behind it
and with one of the best state
tickets ever presented for the vot-
ers' consideration. Indiana Re-
prtblicans are doubly confident of
complete victory. The Repub-
lican state ticket OF 1910 us COM
posed of self made men, who
have come forward from among
the people to receive promotion
on merit. These candidates are
strong, rugged, plain and sincere
citizens. They are going among
the people freely to present their
own and the party's cause in
frankness and fairness. They
are entitled to full and fair con-
sideration and support.

Teach Farmers from Train.

y wheat improvement special
train will be run August 22 to
September : over the Pennsyl-
vania hines in Indiana. The
train is equipped and run free by
the railroad company, while the
lj-turek, demonstrations, mate
r-ials and literature are furnish
ed by the Purdue experiment sta
ton.
The objects OF this train are
to stimulate interest in wheat
growing in Indiana and to dis
Seninate information relative to
selection OF varieties, cultural
methods, fertilization, control OF
plant diseases, and methods OF
combating injurious insects. That
this campaign for more and bet
ter wheat is needed is readily
seen from a study OF pres
ent existing conditions. The
average yield of wheat in Indi-
ana is 1873 bushels per acre. The
cost OF producing an acre OF
wheat in Indiana is more than
S12. The profit is therefore very
small.
The experiment station be-
lieves that the average yield i
wheat of the state should be ma
terlally increased or farmers
should stop growing wheat and
grow some crop that will return
a substantial profit.
Just what the experiment sta
ton believes can be done to in
crease the yield and improve
ment of the quality of wheat will
be presented in the lectures given
on the train and the literature
distributed. Arrange to meet
this train and study the work
being done.
Those wishing schedules or
other information should apply to
agents of Pennsylvania lines or

AGAINST EXTENSION.
North Township Village Protest
Against Including Lapaz
Junction.

Lapaz. Ind, Aug. Citizens
OF Lapaz are up in arms over
the proposed action OF the COM
mon council in extending the
corporate limits OF the town one
mile east of the present boundry
and taking in portions the rights
OF way of the Vandalia, Baltimore
and Ohio and Logansport and
south Bend railways as we'll as
Lapaz Junction.
The proposition before the
body involves rather completing
conditions. 1t is proposed to
make the new boundaries Just
far enough to take in the right
OF way OF the Logansport and
South Bend road, the interu1ban
line which is now being built.
This however will include strips
OF the right OF way OF the Van
dalia, which lies just west OF the
fnterurban and the Baltimore
and Ohio, which crosses the other
two roads, at Lapaz Junction.
Those in favor OF the action as
5ert that the proposed move
would make the right OF way
taxable and add to the towns
funds. while those opposed claim
that unnecessary high taxes
would he inflicted on the property
owners in the disputed plat OF
land which contains only two or
three houses. 1t is reported that
the movement in favor OF the an
nexation is being led by 5. S.
Perley OF South Bend, one of the
promoters of the new electric
line.
The people OF Lapaz are ask
ing themselves whether the
council will ignore the remon-
STRANGE as they did those cir
culated at THE time the fran
-llise was granted the Teegar-
den Independent Telephone Co.
At the time this franchise was
granted There was already one
Independent phone line in Lapaz.
but in spite of the fact, that
more were against than for the
move, the two years franchise
was granted.

BINGHAM HAS
A BIG TASK
STATE LEGAL DEPART
MENT MUCH TOO SMALL
FOR MANY CASES.
Public Accounting Law Reveals
Shortages Which Places Pros
ecution on Indiana.

indianapolis, Aug. S.-Attor-
ney General Bingham rs at loss
to know HOW he is to handle all
OF the law suits coming to his
office under; the public account
ing law. He has not a sufficient
force of deputies nor money at
has command to hire local attor-
neys.
This is new feature of the
public accounting law that APP
parently was overlooked by the
legislature. 1t Is provided by
the pub&c accounting law that
whenever the examiners find a
shortage of accounts of any pub
lie official this fact shall be plac-
ed before the governor and he in
tum will certify it over to the
attorney general for legal action.
1t is the duty OF the attorney
general then to file law suits or
do anything else that may be
necessary in order to collect the
money back from the short Off
cial.
Thirty Cases to Prosecute.
The examiners of the public
accounting board have now COM
pleted the examination of the
accounts OF all the township
trustees of the state and they
have found many shortages. Al
ready the board has sent a large
of the cases to the gov
emor and HE in turn has sent
80 cases to the attorney general
for action. Thousands of dol
lars are involved, and if the
cases can be pushed to a hnish,
they will result in "a good return
TO the townships in which the
were discovered.
Wherever suit is filed by the
general in ONE of these
cases it will be necessary for the
general to employ 10
cal attorney in the county in
which a sllit is filed to look at
ter the case. The local attor-
ney will have to see THE various
motions and other legal maneu-
vers preceding the trial. There
will always be law questions
raised and motions will be made
for the continuance and other
actions and 1T would not
be possible for the attorney gen.
eral or his deputies to be on hand
every time and at every place.

MAKE UP OF
ELECTION BOARDS
INTERESTING FIGURES AS
STUDY FOR POLITICIANS
IN STATE.
In Counties Where Vote is Close
Organization May Mean
Much to Result.

Indianapolis, Aug. 9.-Some
interesting figures nave been
prepared here showing the polit-
ical complexion of the election
board in all of the precincts IN
all OF the counties in the state for
the coming fall election and
they are being studied
with much interest by the poll
ticians who hold to the opinion
that control of election boards by
one or the other political parties
is important. The election board
in a precinct has to decide all
questions of the night OF a man
TO vote and 1T also decides on the
varldidity of all votes cast II
they are legal or illegal The
board receives and counts the
ballots and makes the returns to
the county canvasslng board.
Therefore, 1T has always been
held by politicians that control
of the election boards was at the
utmost importance especially IN
counties and precincts where the
vote is close and the maJorities
are very small.
The county board of election
commissioners is composed OF one
Democrat and one Republican
and one county clerk. Thus If
the county clerk is a democrat
the board becomes democratic.
If he is republican the board will
be Republican. The precinct
election boards are appointed by
the county commissioners. a
democratic board always makes
UP Democratic boards and re-
publican commissioners make up
republican boards.
Township Trustees Inspector.
In a precinct in which town
ship trustee resides he will be
the Inspector on the election
board. There are 1917 townships
in the state and 1917 trustees will
be inspectors. There is a total
OF 317s voting precincts in the
state. OF the trustees 610 are
democrats. 400 republicans and
one prohibitionist, the latter in
Penn township, Parke COUNTY in
the 317S precincts there will be
1852 democrats, 1925 republicans
and one prohibitionist.
Voting Machines in Use.
Voting machines will be used
in fourteen counties, a total OF
443 machines. The counties are
Allen, Bartholomew, Delaware,
Fulton, Henry, johnson, Marion,
Miami, Montgomery, Pulaski and
Newton.
No Republican Inspectors
In Blacltford, Brown, Floyd
and Upton counties there will
not be a republican inspector at
the election since these counties
are UNANIMOUSLY democratic.
In the following counties the
majority of the election boards
viii be democratic: ADAMS,
Allen, Bartholomew, Benton,
Blackboard, Boone, Brown, Car
roll, Cass, Clark, Clay, Clinton,
Dearborn, Dekalb, Dubois, Elk
hart, Floyd, Fountain, Gibson,
Green, Hancock, Sullivan, Wells
and Whitley.
In the following counties the
majority of the precinct boards
will be republican
Daviess, Decator. Delaware,
Fayette, Grant, Huntington, Jas
per, Lagrange, Lake, Rush, Steu-
ben, St. Joseph, Wabash, War
rem, Wayne and White.
Newton county will have five
democratic boards and five re-
