THE DUTCH

ARE ANGRY RELATIONS BETWEEN NETHERLANDS AND VENEZUELA RUPTURED BY PRESIDENT CASTRO'S ACTIONPORTS MAY BE BOMBARDED The official announcement from I Amsterdam Monday that The Netherlands government has decided to make a hostile naval demonstration against Venezuela, was received with I great interest and a certain amount J I. satisfact:on by the officials of the and navy departments at Wash-1 ington. The Dutch propose to demand an apology from President Castro for his high-handed acts and in the event t'int this is not r.rooerlv forthcoming. I will doubtless take energetic steps to comnel redress. Whether these will a3äurne tjie form ot a peaceful block- - ---- . " . . rtant Venezuelan- ports, it is not definitely known. Because of the big jntcrCäts m Venezuela of Great Britajf Germany, Fiance, Italy and the rights of their citizens in his counJt Js possibie that the Dutch government will consult with those naLions before deciding, definitely upon her course of action and invite their co - operation. That something has got to be d me b .

Then, too, congress only has the power to declare war and the sentiment in that body while one ot decided ir- . , ntation against the arrogant Venezuean presjjenti has not been aroused to tne extent oif authorizing the use of force against an American state, That one :( the aggrieved European countries should take the initiative I in hrincrincr Castro to terms is. theref welcomed here. In the case of tj,e Jjutch government against Ven-' ezuela there is more involved than the mere satisfaction of the financial claims rf her citizens. The power I ami selt-respect of Queen Wk.ielgovernment haä been louched. Venezuela has seized the Dutch sf.iip: plying between the Dutch potssessions of Aruba and Curacao and has imprisoned their crews.

On jvery hand the smiling faces of worn en arc seen, instead of the somber veils that hid them The most remarkable feature of the political upheaval in Turkey which wis just resulted in the granting of a constitution by the Sultan, has women, who emerged from the pri , , . vacy of harems, tore off their veils and marched bravely through the streets of the Koran that women should appear veiled in public was canceled by a Moslem priest, who issued his proclamation from the mosque "We will help to make me world beautiful by this act," he declared. Many remarkable scenes greeted the radicol change, but without execptlion the innovation is approved Up to the present day Turkey has been a "theocratic absolute monar chy" subject to the direct personal control of the Sultan, who has been at once, temporal autocrat and rccog nized successor of the prophet and consequently spiritual head of the - r . rri . -Moslem worici. i nis- rneocratnn ao solution has been tempered not only by traditional usage, local privileges, . ,. . , , . . . . the judicial and spiritual precepts of the Koran and the privy council, but also by the growing force of public opinionand the direct and indirect pressure of the powers of Europe EIGHT HORSES ARE BURNED IN FIREw Second Big Blaze at Walkerton in Three Months Telephones Are Out of Commission. l'ire, supposed to have been of in cendiary origin consumed the Wolf enberger Bros.' livery barn on Sev en:h street at Walkerton, Friday, Eight horses perished in the flames besides a large quantity of hay and feed. The vehicles and three horses were saved. The flames spread to a ware house in which Hyman Q Dnp w:Rami and thc WaIkcrtcn' Inde." i pendent Telephone comany had mer chandise stored and it was alsoburn ed tm the" ground. The total loss i about $5,000 with little if any, insur ance. The flames melted cables connect ing wit! the exchange of the Inde pendent Telephone company, which s located above the Hyman & Dup ler general store, Main and Seventh streets, and put the local exchange out of operation for at least two weeks until the cable connections are again restored. The toll line business will not be affected, however. The goods lost by the general store were mostly for the grocery department T WiIliams merchandise was drug stock in storage. The telephone peo pie had cable and copper wire in the building. The livery barn was a:i old frame structure and burned like tinder. This fire is the second b:g 'blaze since the new water works system was installed about 10 years ago. It is also the second fire in three manths the previous blaze wiping out thc postoffice and a business block ex tending from the Starr hotel, entail ing a loss of in the neighborhood of $20,000.

'Indiana, may after -all,, get the American automobile derby. Th east has had "its Briarcliff race an thc south its Savannah and Ormoid races, but attention is now direct? westward, where the Chicago Autc. mnibile club is seeking a course for a road raoc which will far surpass any thing yet attempted in this conrrtr,. As a matter of fact the course has been selected, bift the conint of Gov. Hanly to use the Indiana miiltia is necessary before the race can be held. The course picked by Chairman J. F. Gunther of the C. A. C. racing bo.trd, Ik's wholly in Indiana and so deep an interest have the Hoosiers shown in the proposed race that petitioners are circulating in several counties asking ftov. Hanly to order out the militia. Crownpoint, the sVcne of the recent motorcycle races, .will be thc hub of the course should Gov. Hanly make the event possible. A circuit about 20 miles long has been picked over the Indiana roads1 surrounding Crownpoint, and those who have tried it declare record time is possible. It is almost a certainty that the A. A. A. will lend al the aid at its command in holding the race in recognition of the action taken by the club in declining to join the secession movement inaugurated by the Automobile club of America. RULES FOR SWIMMERS. Do Not Eat Crabs and Milk Afterward, the) Best Maybe. Prof. Geo. Dubbson, in a paper to be read before a medical society at Cape May N. J., gives several rules which will lessen the number ol swimmers who are stricken with cramps. They are easy, that is thc rules, and if followed ought to prove successful. They are: Never swim in cold water. Never swim in watm water. Do not bathe after eating a heavy meal. Do not enter the water before eating. Refrain from bathing while the sun is shining. Never swim when it Is cloudy. Tie of piece of eel skin around your kg before taking a plunge. Do not kick your feet while swimming. Do not eat crabs and milk after you swim. Always have your apoplectic stroke on the beach, never in the water. Wear a life preserver. Experimenting With Blind Fish. The Indiana University !ras constructed at the experimental station at 'Michigan City several concrete pools for the use of blind fish, which are found in caves. There are already a number of blind fish exposed to the light, and breeding in the light will be tried, to see if eyes will not develop. As the fish arc brought from the underground waters there is no place for eyes. It is frequently the case that blind fish are pumped from the wells supplying families with water in that city.

MAIL ORDER

GRAFTERS CAUGHT THE RHODUSES HAVE FLEEC ED PEOPLE OUT OF FOUR OR FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THROUGH BOGUS CORPORATIONS. The federal grand jury at Chicago Thursday completed on "inpoitant sit ting, 'having returned indictments against twenty-nine mail order houses whose illegal profits are alleged tc have been between four ana five mil lion dollars, for using the mails to de fraud; twentyeight imdictments in the crusade against the "white slave" traffic and ten indictments against the Illinois Central and Rock Island railroads for issuing passes to fruit shippers. Among the indictments charging il legal use of the mails was a joint bill against Birch r. Thomas and Ed ward Rhodus, promoters of the al leged fraudulent operations of the Central Life Securities company, the Republic Life Insurance company, the Mercantile Finance company and a numucr oi otner concerns saia to have been used in swindling opera tions. The report, which was made to Judge Landis in the United States district court, ma-rks the conclusion of one of the most notahle grand jury sessions in the history of the Illinois federal district. The jury convened on June 2 and has been in session th greater part of the time since, that date, returning in all eighty-six in dictments. Thc members were dis. charged Thursday. KOSCIUSKO DEMOCRATS ARE SORE. Wanted Senatorial Nomination for Nussbaum. (Warsaw Times.) . It can be stated that John W. Nus baum went to Plymouth confident that he would receive the nomina ticn, and his friends felt that he would have no trouble in landing the coveted honor. Consequently they are disappointed over the outcome Pointing to the fact that Kosciusko has a larger Democratic vote than Marshall' county and that Senator Parks, a -Marshall county man, for eight years has been in the senate they argue that Kosciusko this year should have had the candidate, thus taking the Republican view on this particular point as between the two counties. These friends of Mr. Nus baum also declare that the upsetting of his senatorial aspiration was ac complished by the smooth work of a certain law firm that does not have its office in Plymouth and that the sidetracking of th Warsaw man was the result of a plot fix down him Some indication that there may be much truth in this is evidenced by the fac' that although A. G. Wood was not an avowed candidate for the senatorship his name was used freely in connection- with the nomination and the fatt that Mr. Nusbaum had all the delegates from Kosciusko -ouny exccP two just enough to defeat him 'f allowed his name to go before the convention lends col or to the indief upon the part of the friends oi Mr. Nusbaum that the Democratic ringsters had slated him for a steam-roller squeeze, and so they gave it to him good and proper but in a way that these ringsters could easily cover up their tracks. Be that as it may, Democrats o Kosciusko ccamty will not take kind ly to the giving away of the sena torial nomination for they ibelieve that it should have come to thi county. It is understood that Mr Nusbaum has been "promised" the mayoralty nomination; but that event is far off and thc ringsteTs will have plenty of time to hatch another plot against Mr. Nusbaum, who thus has been "laid on the shelf."

TO IGNORE TWO-CENT LAW. Minnesota Road Serves Notice on the Railroad Commission. The Minnesota, Red Lake & Manit )ba Railroad Company has served notice on the State Railroad and Warchoust Commission that, beginning August 1, it would charge a passenger fare of 3 cents a mile, thus ignoring the 2-cent fare law. This is considered a forerunner of similar action on the part of all thc smaller roads of the State.

UNDERGROUND

WATER SUPPLY OF GOOD FERTILE LAND ENTIRELY FEASIBLE. AT ANY RATE, IT AFFORDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUSTAIN LIFE. It as reported on good authority that in the region of irrigation a single acre of land is sufficient to suppoirt the averaged sized family. Of course, the family does not have many of the luxuries but the cont orts are in plenty, and contentment finds an abiding place in the house hold. This single acre is not farmed as many farmers farm who have broad acres spread out in endless pro fusion. The most intense methods are used in tilling the soil. As for the labor expended, it "s not so intense as many put on the larger farms. While it would not be possihle.for the average family to exist from the products of a single acre in this part of the country, it is altogether feas ible for the average family to gain a very comfortable living with many of the luxuries from a tract of land not exceeding five acres. On a small farm of five acres the best methods of cultivation would, of course, have to obtain. But there are so many possibilities that can be utilized to make a profit. An hundred hens could be kept on the small farm, and they alone would go a long way in supplying thc needs of the family One cow would help in the way oi food products, while there would be extra milk to sell. bmall fruits would add another, item of income, and the vegetables would supply an other source of profit. Bees are not very difficult to keep, and a few col onies would help wonderfully in mak ing up the budget of income. Speaking of bees and the possibil ities of making money from the hives it may be mentioned that one farmer west of the city has about three thousand pounds of honey ready for the market, and the season is not yet over. He readily obtains 18 rents per pound; while a lady north of the dty has marketed over a thousand pofcinds at 20 cents the pound. All of this is largely profit. The cost of the hives and the. care is insignificant when compared with the profits made on the investment. True, every season is not so favorable for honey making as the present, but taken over a series of years it will be found that the bees V m m m can oe made tne source ot profitable income. With all the minor things that the man of many acres neg-lects and the most intense farming, the man with five acres can be the most independ ent individual in the whole commun ity. He need not at any time, unless ill, be dependent on outside help. He can do all his own labor and at al times have the satisfaction of getting the largest possible returns for the time and money; invested in his little farm. Small tracts of land and in tense farming must prove the sola tian of the land problem in the olde states. It is a big undertaking fot the average Indiana farmer io com pete with the broad acres of the Northwest in the production of wheat or with the prairie or bottom lands in raising1 corn and cattle.

Daughter of Bristol Hardware Merchant Drowned! in St Joe River. Ruth Dale, the 15-ycar old daughter of Samuel Dale, a Bristol hard ware merchant, was drowned in the St. Joseph river, above the village bridge Thursday afternoon. In com. pany wi:h several girl companions she was bathing in the stream ,as was their daily custom. She waded down stream on a sandbar, and stepped off into ten feet of water. She shrieked but never came up. Her companions and a woman on the bank witnessed the tragedy and a diver recovered the body an hour later.

LIVING OFF A

SMALL TRACT STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY COLLECTS MASS OF INFORMATION F IND S MANY FLOWING WELLS IN THIS SECTION. The importance of the under ground water supply in Indiana and the demand for accurate information regarding it, have led the United States Geological Survey to make de" tailed studies of the underground waters in the Hoosier State. For two years Messrs. F. G. Clapp and S. R. Capps spent several months in portions of northern and eastern Indiana investigating ground water supplies; and a mass of information has been obtained, which is being assem bled for publication n one of the regular series of water supply papers issued (by the department. As a result of this investigation several unexpected results have come to light. For example, the, unneces sary and serious pollution of surface and ground waters that is going on everywhere, and the necessity for laws to prevent these evils, and the great amount of artesian water that is going to waste. The area investigated includes 19 counties in north-central Indiana, ex tending from the southern boundary of Hendricks, Marion and Hancock countines, northward to the Michigan line. While, on the whole, the geol ogists were impressed wnth the excel lent quality of northern Indiana water, this must he recognized as due. not entirely to any real superiority over other regions, but largely to the fact that the progress of civilization has driven all enterprising commun ities, as well as individuals, far below ground in search of . more potable supplies than can be obtained oil or near the surface.
