half hours for one shift.
1t is probable the street car COM
panies will benefit as largely as do
the men, if the bill becomes law, in
more cheerful service and possibly in
a reduced number of accidents Con-
ductors who are employed too long in
a somewhat nerve-racking business
are liable to become irritable, and
motormen who stick to the controller
for too many hours on a stretch, are
prone to absent mindedness.
Grouchy conductors are liable to
put a street car company in bad

some conductors are so constituted
naturally, it is also likely that

IN DI A n A
FIND MACHINES INACCURATE.

An examination made during the last
few weeks into election records shows
that Allen County's voting machines in
at least thirteen precincts failed to
register all the votes cast Only thir-
teen precincts have so far been investi-
gated, but 1t is thought that the
chimes in other precincts will also
prove to have been Inaccurate. In the
thirteen precincts the poll books show
that from nine to sixty-three more
votes were cast than were registered
and counted by the machines and these
discrepancies are shown in the official
vote 1t is intended to urge the county
commissioners to throw out the ma
chimes on the ground of inaccuracy. 1t
is alleged that more than~1. 1000 votes
cast at the last election In this count
were not counted.

Pennsylvania Society for the Proven

This is cruel and foolish. A careful
consumptive is harmless, as is also
the man who has recovered from this

POOR BILLY.

At the cement show which is now
holding forth at the Coliseum in Chi
cago they are exhibiting a concrete
model of the memorial designed by
eminent sculptors to commemorate
the heroic act of Billy Rugh, Gary's
dead newsboy.
Gary and Chicago made a great
fuss over Billy to the tune of $3.50
after he had died Words were
plentiful in praising him but Smelling
out for a memorial was a different
thing.
Heroes are never appreciated until
they are dead about 200 years. 1t
will be the best to cast the memorial
model into the lake.

Willis l.. Moore.

Willis L. Moore, Chief of the United
States Weather Bureau, whom many
believe will be the next Secretary of
Agriculture, was born in Scranton, Pa.
Jan. IS, 1856. His education was re-
ceived principally in the public schools
of Binghampton, n. Y. Many years ago
he entered the Signal Corps (now the
Weather Bureau), and rose through
successive grades to local forecast Off
cial in Chicago, in 1891. He has been
at the head OF the Bureau since 1895,
when President Cleveland appointed
him to that position. His efficiency in
the office is best indicated to the pub
lie by the fact that he has remained
there ever since, through the admins
