ECONOMY, Ind, Aug. 29.-We were
out driving Wednesday afternoon and
found some bits of beauty hidden away
by the roadside, and many picturesque
hooks filled with gOldenrod nearly
ready to change the color of the land
scapc from green to the sunlNssed
yellow. We were at Sulphur Springs
on the old Mcpherson farm, owned
by Lester Williams. This farm was
entered by Mcpherson over a hun.
dred years ago 1t then passed into
the hands Of William Starbuck Rufe
Adamson, Daniel Williams and Rufus
Williams.
One sour person can put the sunlight
out Of the entire family.
Does one ever seen funny things
that smack of the ridiculous in the
country?
Sure. We passed one farm home
with a pretty grove of shade trees in
the front yard. We saw what we be
lieved to be a herd of little Durcc
hogs crossing the lawn and said:

pressions Of the great Europ can con-
flict.
Immediately after the assassination
of the Austrian archduke, Russia
started making warlike preparations,
In the middle of July the most inn
portant Russian newspaper, the Novoe
Vremya, published a sensational ar
ticle to the effect that Russia would
be ready to completely crush Germany
and Austria in 1916 and to establish
a great Slav empire in Europe. OF
course, this article was translated in
German newspapers, and it goes with
out saying that it made very deep
impression in Germany and Austria.
Germans asked themselves, "Why
should we oblige Russia by waiting
another two years."
The Berliner Local-Anzeiger wrote:
Rather have on end with terror than
a terror without end" On July ~ the
great Russian liberal paper the Reich,
wrote that ii a great European war
should break out the cause would
have to be laid at the door of the
Move Vremya and it's warlike article.
AS the Reich continued in agitating for
peace, this newspaper was ordered to
be suspended by the Russian govern
ment
On July 20 council of the Russian
ca binet ministers decided for war, and
ordered the mobilization of the Rus
sian army and navy. The only Rus
sian minister who spoke for peace was
the minister OF agriculture. On July

ing, but Russia declined to do SO. On
August l squadron of Russian Cos

on the River Warthe.
AS we Anglo-Saxons have always

play, l ask you whether Germany was
not justified under these circum-

ceived his elementary education in the
schools of that city, and upon his
graduation was one out of three who

by a stiff breeze which made it prac-

With a gap of more than 100 feet
between him and the shore, he started
back on the run. He attracted his
rescuers on the shore by repeatedly

stand in his own behalf. He denied
making an attack on Mrs. Bond and
said he believed the charge to have
been made to injure him in his cam
paign for denomination as the Dem
ocratic candidate for the senate.
Senator Gore was asked about his
acquaintance with Mrs Bond, the
plaintiff, and replied that he remem-
bered meeting her at reception here,
and that her husbands candidacy for
internal revenue collector was men
toned at the time. He said he had
not given her any encouragement
about her husbands candidacy.
Regarding the alleged assault in
Washington, the senator, in reply to
questions, told of meeting Mrs. Bond
at her hotel after she had telephoned
him making the appointment. He
never knew that James r. Jacobs, T.
q. Robertson and others were at the
hotel at the time.
II had never been in there before"
he said; "and when l reached the
door Mrs. Bond approached me in
the lobby. l supposed we were to
go to the hotel parlor, but she took
me to another room"

was asked.

Continuing his testimony, Sena-
tor Gore said he told Robertson he
wanted to see Mrs. Bond again.
Il asked her if she had anything to
say about the incident. L want to
know what this MEANS I said.
"She replied she didn't want her
husband to know about it. Robert

about it..
The senator said he saw DR.. J. Fl.
carp of Oklahoma City the next day
and discussed the INCIDENT
'I told him." he said, that if any
one said I did anything improper it
was an infamous lie"
Senator Gore denied that he told
carp to try to get Mrs. Bond out of
the city.
Mrs. Bond was recalled just before
court adjourned and asserted that
after the alleged incident at the hotel
Senator Gore called her on the tele-
phone twice, but she refused to talk
with him.
