HAMMOND, Ind. August 4.-Twenty-
nine persons. all of Chicago, were injur-
ed when Martin Roy, chauffeur of the
autobus in which they were riding, drove
into a culvert to avoid running down a
four-year- old girl here yesterday.
The bus turned over on the occupants,
but with one exception none of the in
juries was serious. Martin Roy was cut
about the eyes, and at a hospital here
it was said he may lose his sight. The
party was returning from nights out,
ing at a Lake county summer resort ana
ali except Martin returned to Chicago
after the bus had been repaired

PLANS FOR ABOLITION
Of BOIL WEEV|L PEST
Conference of Senators and
Representatives of Cotton
States With Experts.

A second cotton boil weevil conference
between senators and representatives
from the southern states and officials of
the Department of Agriculture was held
here today. 1t was called at the request
of Senator Smith of South Carolina,
whose plan for establishing zone in
which the raising Of cotton should be
prohibited in order that the weevil may
not spread into the eastern states, was
touched on only briefly at the first con-
ference, held week before last. All OF
the states which grow cotton were repre-
scented at the conference.

N. T. Crdttan's Trotter Killed.

Lodaller, the 2:l94 trotting station
owned t.y M. T. Grattan, which took
part in the races of fair week here, fell
during a race at the fair grounds at
Winona Friday, and so severely frac-
tured both bones of leg that it was
necessary to shoot the animal soon
after. The race was won later by
Cory Kilvert, the Eldridge horse. The
Winona Independent describes the &C.
cident:
Four horses were entered in the race.
When they came under the wire the
first time around in the unfortunate
heat, Lodaller was second. He was
travelling up but required some urging.
Just as the horses gained the straight
track after making the east end turn,
the Preston horse plunged head!ong,
his driver falling from the cart upon
him. The scene was pathetic as the
owner chung to the neck of the horse
he had raised from colt. Removed
to the stall the veterinarians examined
the compound fracture and pronounced
the case hopeless. Later the horse was
shot. Among horsemen the fate of
Lodaller brought the keenest sorrow.
The horse was unquestionably the best
know of any brought here during the
week. ..# -.
Lodaller was sired by Allerton, 2:O9l
one of the fastest trotters in the coun-
try. His dam, Lodina, had mark of
2:lS} and outclassed many. Lodaller
was twelve years old and the winner
of nineteen contested races. He had
also captured fifteen blue ribbons and
was never defeated in the show ring.
He was one of the most beautiful
horses in the northwest and widely
known among horsemen. Grattan re-
fused $4,000 for him last spring and
asserted that no reasonable amount of
money could buy him. The horse was
used for breeding purposes and earned
$1,000 annually. Waukon Democrat.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain iodine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have a
cough or cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what
is needed. That cleans out the culture
beds of breeding places for the germs
of pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has a world wide
equation for Its cures. 1t contains
morphine or other sedative. For

The Crop Loss in Money;

8 On Sept. 9th, when the government
crop report was issued, cash corn on
the Chicago market ranged from rs to
IS cents per bushel; oats, standard
grade, from "A to Az cents; barley was
quoted all the way from 66 to 81 cents,
and potatoes from So to 81 cents per
bushel.
The shortage in these four crops as
compared to last year is "4, ooo'ooo
bushels of corn, 1852, 600, 600 bushels OF
oats, Sc, 900, ooc bushels OF barley and
&c, 600, 900 bushels of potatoes. Taking

ing an average for barley and potatoes
of 70 cents and 60 cents respectlVeIy'
the crop loss this year, translated into

A the lowest possible estimate, farm
crops of the United States this year
are more than thousand million
dollars behind the record of last year
land this in a season when the world s
LIQUID capital has been burned up IN
war or thrown into the bottomless pit
Of excessive military preparations.
Nor is the loss one which can be
made good by bumper yield next
wear. Through a large part OF the
country drought has been so destruct'
i've that farmers have had to sell tnelr
stock for lack of fodder. Every stock
center in the land is receiving large
shipments of unfinished steers, under
sized pigs, and breeding stock OF every
sort. This depletion Of fiocks and herds
can.not be- made good for years-and
meantime prices of meat will SOAR and
the scent loaf will shrink.
It is ill luck for the Democratic
administration that this crop failure
had to fall in with the first honest re-
vision of the tariff since the civil war.
Yet in one sense the revision could not
be more timely. Just as Chicago,
when lying desolate after the great

nation, with its food supply cut short

The evils of crop failure would be
harder to bear if the nation had to pay
tribute to trusts under the Aldrlch

hicles are going to have a greater and
broader influence on the lives of every
American in the years to come than the
pleasure cars.
Side by side in commercial vehicle
factories are fire apparatus and ambu-
lances for saving life and property, and
motor hearses and funeral cars.
Every lover of animals will see in the
motor trucks and delivery wagon the
eventual liberation of the horse from
the arduOus servitude to an ungrateful
master and will look forward eagerly to
the day in the near future when the
common sight of overloaded horses
struggling frantically under the lash
to ascend steep and slippery grades
will be a fading memory only.
Everybody sees in the motor bus an
opportunity for better transportation
facilities in localities now poorly served
by street cars and a chance to relin-
Quish the strap for a seat on his way
to and from work.
It is a common observation that the
private pleasure cars have become so
standardized in principle and general
lines that one has to look to upholstery

being the case with the business vehi-

TT AVE you ever stopped to consider
what destructive strains are

automobile when the wheels strike a bad
hummock, at speed. and leave the road
even for an instant? The upward
throw Of the hummock causes the car
to leap into the air, only to return 20
earth with dull thud; a succeeding
jolt increases the oscillation Of the
springs and the body is roughly jerked
upward and downward and sidewise;
the tires are caused to bound and re-
bound (to their detriment) upon the
rough surface OF the road, the tor
siOnal strain upon the chassis, body,
engine and springs is extremely great
