The New Seven.

AAS ANO w NOSNNA
The civilized world has always
had it's seven wonders. But the
new seven wonders are as differ
ent from the still famed seven
wonders of the ancient world as
are the clothes of today from
those of early MAJ. The modern
seven wonders make for utility:
those of the old world, for the
most part, did not. The latter
were the Pyramids of Egypt,
Pharos of Alexandria, Hanging
Gardens of Babylon, Temple of
Diana at Ephesus, statue Of Jup-
tier by Phidias, Mausoleum of
Artemisia, Colossus of Rhodes.
The modern seven wonders
have been arrived at by a poll of
the leading scientists of Europe
ard America. No fewer than a
thousand eminent persons were
asked to vote, and the result of
this international poll of scien-
lists was (1) wireless, ~ tele-
phone, 60 aeroElane, "a radium,
(5) antiseptics and antitoxins,
(6) spectrum analysis. (7) X-rays.
All these are the perfected dis
coveries of our own times. -Ex-

Crows Around a Scythe.

Grows Around aScythe.
Henry Winkler, superintendent
at the White reservoir, has a cur
ious relic, it being a scythe, the
blade of which is embedded in
the branch of an oak tree. Ac-
ccrding to the story which goes
with it, a resident of Southamp-
ton was working in a moving
when the call for volunteers came
at the opening of the Civil War.
On finishing his days work he
hung the scythe in an oak tree
near where he was working, and
that evening went to a rally and
enlisted for the war. The scythe
hung there until last spring. when
it was discovered and the limb
containing it cut off. The wood
had grown completely over the
blade of the scythe, the point
sticking out from near the CEN
ter of the limb. Springfield Re-

take their places again in the Re
publican ranks. They insist that the
reign of the Fairbanks-Wa Hem
enway-Kealing influences. which have
controlled and dominated the party in
this state for a decade, is at last brok-
en-. and this what they sought to
accomplish. This is the cold fact of
the ease.
Albert J. Beveridge will come home
from the east in few days. and there
is some speculation as to what posi-
tion he may take in regard to the Pro-
gressive city campaigns this year. OF
course, the Progressive party Is his
child. in this state, and there is reason
to believe that he will want to see 1t
hold it's own at least at the city cleo
tions. But it is believed that he will
have a hard time doing this. for there
are so many Progressives slipping back
into the Republican party that 1t is
hard to see how the Progressive party
can anywhere equal its last years
vote
There it is possible for a regenera-
ton of the Republican party to take
place this coming year is we'll settled.
But it appears to be equally well set
tied that this could not be accomplish
ed even il Beveridge were to come back
into the party and join hands with the
Fairbank-W atson Hemenway-Kealing
element for the purpose of reformation.
Both of these factions and their leader
ships have come into bad standing, and
this is why the belief has grown that
there must be a new deal all around.
with new men at the head of the or
ganization who will be entirely free
from the strain of connection with
either of these factions in the past.
This is not a wild and unfounded
guess. 1t is based on what the party
workers and some of the men con-
nected with the party organization are
saying themselves. II is known that
party leaders and workers through the
state are working along that line and
it need cause no surprise If the state
executive committee and even the
state committee itself takes that stand
when he time comes to bring about
the reorganization.

A GREAT SCRAP.

The other night the six aldermen
comprising the majority of the Gary
council named election inspectors
friendly to the Citizens ticket. It
was Mayor Knots wish that he con-
troll this important act but 1t slipped
by him so with the three aldermen
friendly to his policies he failed to
appear at the council meeting.
Now comes Mr.. Knots issuing a
new call for a special meeting to
elect election inspectors" despite the
fact that they have already been
named and have qualified for their
duties. Knots hand will be shown
tonight when he probably will en-
deavor to have the first named in
|spectors declared illegal because the
call was written in pencil
Should things come to such a pass
that Knots succeeds in having an.
other set of election inspectors named

WAIT FOR THE BIG SHOW.

We are probably about to be treat
ed to some masterpieces of oratory
and partisan editorials in two Gary
papers and, speaking of that, here is
a latter day chunk from the Walnut
(Kan.) Eagle:-"You are the vilest,
the most arrogant and the most
egotistical old hypocrite and the big
gest pusillanimous liar that has ever
walked the streets of Walnut or that
ever sat in the pew of a church.
There is not an honest hair in your
head or an honest fibre in your body
You haven't a friend on earth or a
principle that you would not turn
down for a dollar. You heap calumny
upon the living and disturb the dead
by lying about them. You have the
instinct of a viper in your scabby
body, and your Shiny trail is strewr
with failures and newspaper wrecks
You started half dozen newspapers
when you did not have the ability and
the means to run one successfully
You are nothing but fangless, blear
eyed serpent. Your head has beer
crushed, but your tail will wiggle til
the sun goes down. Now you car

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 20.-The time
for reorganization of the Republican
state committee is but a little more
the leaders of the party are thinking
of what shall be done at that time in
order to regalvaniZe the party and put
1t in good fighting trim. Much specula-
ton has been INDUCED in as to plan
that will be followed in making the
reorganization, because ii is admitted
that unless the most perfect iiplo-
macy and care is used the present con-
dition in the party are bound to con-
tinue.
Fred A. Sims. state chairman, is go
ing to retire from that position. This
appears to be well settled Thus far
no candidate for the Craftsmanship has
appeared, and some of the party work
ers are wondering where they are GO
ing to get man to take this job and
do as well with 1t Sims has done, in
the face of such trying circumstan
as have beset him throughout his adj
ministration. Not only will theer be
change in the craftsmanship, but a
new secretary to the committee must
be appointed. since z. T. Staley. of
Upton, the present secretary, recently
moved to North Dakota. And it is prac-
tically certain that there will be a
number of new faces on the committee.

is about to fall into the hands other
than those which have been in control

that this well be the most fortunate
thing that could happen to the party
in this state. Not that the present

Sims could have the chairmanship

everybody a square deal. and he has
done everything in his power to bring
order out OF the party chaos of the

'UNDESIRABLES" IN ANIMAL
WORLD.

During the past fiscal year 1856
predatory animals were killed by fed
eral officers in the national forests,
according to an actual count of car
casses. An indeterminate number Of
animals, whose bodies were not found,
are presumed to have died of poison.
The rangers bag of beasts of prey
this year. as shown by forest service
figures, was made up of 200 bears,
3,541 coyotes, 1873 mountain lions, 81
lynx, $50 wild cots, 64 wolves and 81
wolf pups. The figures indicate that
the national forests are becoming
cleared OF wild animals that prey up
on domestic livestock and game, for
the forest ranger fills in odd moments
between other jobs by thinning out
undesirable citizens" of the animal
world.
Wolves are said to cause greater
losses to Western stockmen than any
other of the predatory animals. 1t is
ESTIMATED that family of wolves will
destroy about $4,000 worth of stock
per annum, and that one able bodied
individual costs the grazing industry
5000 a season.
The wolves are of two classes
the smaller prairie wolves or coyotes,
land the larger gray, black or timber
wolves, called "lobos." These latter
are the great stock destroyers against
which the campaign of the rangers
has been waged.
