by Constable Phelps on a warrant this
morning charging him with assault and
battery upon Frank Huhaje. The case
will be tried before Judge Prest. The

get a glass of beer. Having no change
in his pocket, Huhaje asked Stodola to
trust him, but the proprietor refused.

get the money, but Stodola came around
the bar and struck the complaining
witness in the eye with the fist. The

RAILROADS FACE A RATE WAR.

ST. Louis, Mo. Aug. 2o.-Because
of the abrogation of the Chicago
agreement of last April by which all
the trunk lines in the United States
voted against running summer excur-
sions for less than a cent a mile
fare in 1912, passenger rate war is
threatened on all the lines involved
This city became the stage of opera
tons yesterday when the Glover Leaf
made rate of $6 to Toledo for the
round trip with a five day return
limit. This was followed by SINH
lar action by the Wabash. In the
meantime, it is declared, other mid
die west lines are preparing to fol-
low the example of the Wabash and
Glover Leaf. This, it is said, proba-
bly, will result in all the roads reduc-
ing excursion rates.

passenger brakeman on the Monon,
has lost his voice in a peculiar man

taken to a hospital in that city. The
physicians in the hospital were puz-
zled at his case and today he was
brought to EFT. Eliza beth's hospital in
this city. The physicians here are of
the opinion that O'Herren's affection
is due to the strain on his vocal or

the many years of his railroad expert

WHITE INSTEAD
OF RED MAY Be
DANGER SIGNAL
New York Central Lines
Considering Changing
Color of Lights.

The New York Central lines, includ-
ing the Lake Shore and other lines of
the system entering South Bend, is
contemplating changing the red light
danger signal to white. The signal
code is to be changed to prevent acct
dents.
1t is argued that sometimes the red
glass of the signal lamp often becomes
broken and shows white. which indi-
Gates a clear track.
Hereafter the white light will be the
danger signal on the New York Cen
trail lines as it can be seen much
greater distance than a colored light
The green light will indicate a clear
track. If the glass in the white light
danger signal lamp should be broken
long as it is burning.
It is thought the change will cause

ing the rush season.
The change has been brought about
principally through the efforts of the
American Railway association, which
has been obtaining ballots on the
proposition for some time.
Out of 541 roads voting, 17s roads.
owing 1,7os,oo1 freight cars, voted
for the increase to IS cents a day. The
162 roads which voted against the
proposition own 63S.Ss5 cars.
This is part of the campaign
against the misuse of equipment
Many roads have abused the demur-
rage system to the extent of holding
foreign cars and paying charges in
stead Of building equipment of their
own.

LATEST news
DEATH OF 800 HORSES PUZZLE.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 20.-Three
hundred horses belonging to farmers
of Ness county, Kansas, have died the
last week from a malady that is
pulling veterinarians. Local experts
who have been called in declare the
horses have contracted a form of
mold from eating grass that sprang
up ran kfollowing recent heavy rains.
The mold, If that is what 1t is. causes
paralysis of the throat muscles and
congestion of the brain. The farm
ers have been treating their own
animals. They give oil or some other
medicine, which the horse cannot
swallow, and, veterinarians declare,
the horses die from mechanical pneu-
monia. as the medicine goes to the
lungs.

The Lost Is Found.

The mysterious disappearance of the
IL. year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
liam Griiths. 1147 Holman street was
solved yesterday morning when the
prodigal son wandered home from the
vicinity of Highlands where he had
been searching for work. The lure of
the farm life caught the young lads
eye and Saturday morning without
saying a word to his parents, he left
home. At each farm house he inquired
for work and at the end of his journey
near Highland he came to the realiza-
ton that there was no place like home.

No Truth in It.

So far as can be learned the story
that was sent out from Laporte to the
effect that strikers in the breweries
had poisoned the beer is absolutely un-
true.
City Sea1er Frank O'Rourke said he
had received no complaints and no
cases of poisoning have been reported.
1t is believed to be a report sent out
for the malicious purpose of inturing
the sale of beer.
Saloonkeepers who are asked about
the matter laugh the enquirer out of
countenance and make subtle sugges-
lions to his sanity.

is too ridiculous to receive serious con-
sideration on the part of the drinking

A Good Town.

1t is a well known fact among
horsemen that about four times out
of five when horse balks it is the
fault of the driver and many a
good horse has been ruined because
the driver abused him.
Whenever town fails to 90, it
is pretty much the same way.
About nine times out of ten the
fault is in the drivers who in that
case are the citizens of the town.
Most any town is good or bad as
the inhabitance make it. This is a
good town and we should treat it
well. Encourage its business inter-
ests with kind treatment and pat

Laboring Men for Houchin.

! LaDOTln8 men Tor H0uChln.
There has been some little bark
ing around the State, emanating
from sources opposed to the candi-
dacy of James A. Houchin. to the
effect that labor would oppose him.
Houchin has more laboring men,
organized and unorganized, enlisted
in his cause than all his opponents
combined.
Laboring men realize that Houch-
in is not responsible for the exist
ence of the convict labor law and
they also realize that as long as
there was such law, he had q
right to use the labor, just as same
as any other man. He has paid the
State more for the labor than other
men we're willing to pay, and has
contributed to the revenue of the
State just to that extent.
Laboring men are also aware of
the fact that he has never opposed
in any manner their effort 70 have
enacted the law abolishing the leas.
ing of convicts, but has always
treated it in a neutral manner, and
told them to go ahead and pass the
law that it was the States business
and hot his.
LabOring men recognize in James
A. Houchin a business man, and if
elected as chief executive of the
State, that he will, as a business
men keep the machinery of the
State in motion, just as he has in
the immense business which he has
built up. They also look to him
for square deal on all matters of
interest to those who must toll.
He employs about nine hundred
persons in his different factories,
and the records show that those on
his pay roll are not the shiftless
kind. Men and women are on his
payroll that have been in his en-
ploy for years, and his scale of
wages will compare with them of
any factory in the State.
Why should labor fight a man
who has always been fair with
labor?
Whv should labor fight man
who has always recognized and
sympathized with those who must
toll?
No, labor, honest labor. will not,
and is not fighting such a man and
the reports that are being sent out
emanate from a source that never
