When they returned an hour or so later they found the Hinchett's lit. boy had set fire to the barn, which had been saved by a remarkable dem. onstration of energy on the part oi his mother, ably assisted by Mrs. Par kins, in pumping water and passing buckets.
 Dinner was not exactly a joyous meal, inasmuch as Mrs. Perkins kept thinking of new things to say to her husband after the Hinchetts were gone, and Hinchett whiled a way the hour with a detailed description of his counting days up to the moment when Lillian shyly consented to be his, Then before the men had finished chetts' girl fell out of a cherry tree and broke her collarbone trying to get the only two cherries on the tree
 ''I'm afraid we'll have to go home with her." sighed Mrs. Hinchett.
 "Oh, must you go?" Mrs. Perkins asked, while Perkins dashed upstairs for the suitcases.
 When the guests had been safely placed upon the train Perkins turned to his wife with both hands held aloft
 "Neyer againi" he said fervently That week end thing isn't what it's advertised to be-"
 His wife smiled grimly. "We'll have to hurry home" she said "You have a hard days work ahead of you yet making jelly"
 "But it's late" protested Perkins.

lNDlCT BLOOMINGTON MAYOR
Grand Jury Also Accuses Others After Investigation of Mu-
 nicipal Graft.

Bloomington, H., Sept. 21.-The Mclean county grand jury has given the citizens of Bloomington the great. est municipal sensation in its history. True bills of indictments were re- turned against Mayor Albert Moore, Chief of Police Fred Lang. Night Cap. tain of Police John Hegarty and Ser geant of Police Edward Hensel The indictments charge omission of duty and malfeasance in office. The re- port of the grand jury climaxed the investigation of municipal conditions by two Chicago detectives engaged for the purpose by local paper
 Rumors of municipal graft, of pro tecuon accorded gamblers upon pay ment of money, and protection to inn moral houses became so pronounced that it was finally determined to pro cure evidence, If possible The grand jury, however, went much further than was generally expected. For the first time in the history of the city the jury brought indictments not only against gamblers and prcprietors of gambling houses and resorts, but also against persons who own the build ings in which these houses were oper- ated.
 The indictments against the police officers mean a shakeup in that de- parment, and numerous resignations are looked for at the next session of the city council.

owner has failed to approve the con.

UNCLE SAM WILL
HAVE BARGAIN DAY

Washington.-The biggest bargain
sale of machinery in history is prom
ised upon the completion of the Pan
anna canal To dispose of machinery
costing more than $15,OOO,OOO is the
problem confronting government au-
thorities when the canal is opened.
Although understood in a general
way, Colonel Goehals, superintendent
of the canal work, reports actual fig
ures of machinery bought since the
United States began digging the Dig
ditch" Here are a few of the prin-
cipal items.
Steam shovels, 1902; cars, 41S1; To-
comotives, 1S9; rock drills, 725;
Grams, 79; dredges, IA; barges, A.
Many of the locomotives and cars
will be useful in operating the ca
nal and the Panama railroad, but
most of the dredges. steam shovels
and mountains of other steel imple-
ment will be put on the block for
sale.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher has
suggested the plan of transferring
much of the discarded machinery to
Alaska for use in constructing a gov
ernment railroad to the interior OF
that territory. If congress does not
authorize the federal railway in Al
aska, however, most of the Panama
machinery will be sold for the best
price it will bring.
Colonel Goehals emphatically de-
clares, however, that the French plan
of leaving discarded machinery to rot
and rust will not be adopted by this
country Uncle Sam is too thrifty
Old, corroded discarded machinery
once used by the French in their at
tempt to dig a canal were monuments
of their failure, lining the canal
route until the Americans took charge.
Some of the old French material was
used but most of it was dumped in
to the jungle far away from the ex-
caVations.
