FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1901.
THE American man with the hoe sold his surplus last year to foreign customers for $739,000,000, and considers himself a lap ahead of the poets who deplore his condition.
AN American transport has made the run to Manila in twenty days. The United States has a straight ferriage to the far east and a great advantage over Europe in point, of time.
THE latest Italian battleship is to have a battery on the American model. After scoffing at the idea of such a heavy armament the European navy departments are falling into line.
"COIN" BARVEY proposes to run for congress in an Arkansas district. His latest fad of promoting old fiddlers' contests is far better than lecturing on what he doesn't know about finance.
AMERICAN inventors are more interested in everyday automobiles than in racing machines. In the end the practical motor vehicles of the U&ited States will take the lead and hold it.
IT is said that Spain will contract for eight new cruisers in England, France or Italy. The Spanish know where the best warships are built, but have a delicacy about acting on their information.
THE 314,000 Republicans in Missouri are allowed one congressman, while the 351,000 Democrats have helped themselves to fifteen. And then these same Democrats set up a howl about imperialism.
A PHYSICIAN in one of the hospitals of New York City has been discharged because he was caught kissing one of the curses It served him right. When it comes to kissing, no penalty is too great for a breach of the eleventh commandment—"Don't get caught."
THE medical authorities of the United States war department are thoroughly convinced that yellow fever :B transmitted by mosquitoes, and will proceed on the theory hereafter that the infection is carried by the insects. Efforts will be made to exterminate mosquitoes in Cuba and prevent them from getting accesB to fever patients.
MORE than 20,000 patents were granted last year in this country, and the gain over the record for 1900 was greater than the rate of increase in the population. There is no sign of any slackening of the pace at which inventions are poured out of the busy American brain, and the field of improve ment is apparently no nearer filled, to the satisfaction of ingenious men, than it was twenty-five years ago. The multiplication of inventions will doubtless continue unabated for an indefinite period. It is a type and measure of human progress.
THE'ast census shows that the total number of cows kept for milk purposes in the (owns and cities and villages of the United States is 1,406,970, Texas having the greatest number, 110,107. Illinois comes second, with 110,400, and Pennsylvania third, with 98,515, The other stittes having more than 50,000 cows are: Iowa, 70.327 Missouri, 71,805 Ohio, 03.240 Kansas. 51.218: Indiana, 51,874, aDd New York, 50.218. The nine states named have 69'J !.M7 cows in captivity, or nearly 50 per cent of the entire number in the United States. Texns leads in cows, but Illinois has 155,050 porkers being brought up by hand, as one might say, in towns, cities aud villages.
THE call for Cleveland to come for ward and pall his party out of the slough of despond, is not likely to be heeded. Mr. Cleveland received treat ment at the hands of the Democracy in the last two years of his tervico which, in the opinion of many of, his friends, offsets all the claim which the party has on hiin for the favor of electing him President twice. Nor is there any reason to suppose that his leadership at this time would strengthen the party. Hundreds of thousands of Democrats would vote the Republican or Prohibition ticket if they thought Cleveland had returned to leadership. On the whole the best thing that the Democracy could do would be to take up the candidate of 1896 and 1900, and make it a third battle. Bryan received more votes in 1896 from the people than Cleveland got in 1892. The Nebraskan may etill be the logical candidate in 1004.
OUR railroads have been our salvation. They aud our industrial combinations have enabled us to utilize the vast resources of the country and to undersell our rivals in th'e markets of the world. In I860 neither iron, coal, grain nor meat could be exported in competition with Great Britain, because the cost of getting freight to the seaboard was too great. In 1865 we had only 35,000 miles of railroad built. From that time forth the nation addressed itself to the gigantic task of constructing 100,000 miles more of railroad at an outlay of $10,000,000,000. Much of this vast sum we had to borrow from Europe, and we were desperately poor while the work was being accomplished. When prices of fa?m products fell and the roads could no longer earn thier former dividends, there was a collapse, aud the railways had to be reorganized on a new basis. Happiiy we had the reserve strength to survive the ordeal of 1893 and come out stronger than before
THE wheat crop of Russia has been seriously damaged. A similar report comes from most of the other European producing countries. Here is where the big wheat crop of the United States will count. This country's wheat yie:d in 1901 is larger than ever before. Most of the American wheat had matured befipre the drouth began to be seriously felt. A heavy export demand for wheat is certain, which will keep up the aggregate of the merchandise exportation. The shortage ol the corn crop which the drouth has caused will be at least partially made up by the increase of the wheat yield above the average of the past few years.
THERE is a big surprise in preparation for the Democratic bosses who imagine that Oklahoma is to be won by their side after its admission to statehood. The vote of the. territory in recent years shows that the Republicans have an excellent chance of maintaining their supremacy in it after it becomes a state. Most of its new inhabitants are apparently from the Republican region. But irrespective of its partisan attitude Oklahoma ought to bd promptly admitted to statehood.
THE late Gen. Butterfield was chief of staff at Gettysburg and Chancellorsville and commanded a corps at Fredericksburg. In those three battles not less than 100,000 Americanswere killed and wounded, counting the casualties on both sides. Such scenes of carnage are unlikely to be repeated iD warfare as now conducted.
BRYAN men in Ohio declare that the course of the recent Democratic state convention at Columbus was "mapped out at headquarters in New "Vork." The principal bar'i, however, was located in Washington, where Mr. McLean is holding down several trusts by owning the controlling interest.
THE delivery of letters by postal carriers is universal throughout England, France, Germany, Austria Hungary and Belgium. It is impossible at present to cover the whole area of the United States, but free postal delivery now reaches 4,000,000 people in this country over 3,800 routes.
A CONTEMPORARY speaks of "the quiet revolution that is going on within the Democratic party." There seems to be an abandonment of old principles and a still hunt for new ones. Repub licans will continue to present the best platform and the only successful pol
TOM JOHNSON has made such an early start for the Presidency that by the time the convention is called he will not be able to control the delegation from his own city.
THOUGH the rubber trust at one time bought up all existing plants, twelve or fifteen new ones are now in operation. Competition is not easily wiped out.
TOM L. JOHNSON, the new Moses of the Democratic party, will be entitled to the nomination if he sha.l succeed in keeping his light burning for three jem
KJNCJ EUWARD VII's salary has been placed at W.^S4,U00 a year, a large figure, but a monarch who makes no foolish speeches deserves to be well paid.
Wants Damages.
Last Tuesday in the circuit court, Jerome Leachman, by his attorney M. M. Batcheider, of Ladoga, filed suit against the Chicago, Iodiana'polis & Louisville Railway for $2,500 damages. The complaint alleges that in Clark towm-hip where the railroad crosses the Haw Creek road there is a ten foot embankment without the proper guards, and that as the plaintiff was driving over this place his team became frightened and dumped the outfit over the same, seriously injuring him and affecting bis nervous system, for which he thinks $2,500 would just about compensate htm. The accident occurred on May 16, 1901.
JAS. G. ANHERT, of Delia, O., writes: had an obstinate sore on my face which everything else failed to heal. After one app ication of Banner Salve it began to heal, and after three applications it was entirely healed, leaving no scar."

Comment And Story.
K++++.I-+++++++++++++++++++X A grocer in speaking of the effects of the drouth on canned goods said. "A traveler for a wholesale firm told me that he has positive instructions from his house not to take any orders for canned goods for future delivery, as it will be impossible for them to promis-e delivery owing to the unprecedented drouth. Canned goods for immediate delivery have advanced twenty-five per cent, in the past few days. Some houses will take orders for future delivery, but only conditionally."
Isaac Davis thinks he has one of the best farmers in the state renting 160 acres from him. The man is Albert Parish, and he came from Wallace three years ago without a cent. He borrowed enough money to stock up the place, paid $500 a year rent, and last week paid off his note with interest and also 8125 in advance on next year's rent. In the meantime he has kept all running expenses paid and owes no man a dtllar.
A health officer: "The season is at hand when milk and other food ptomains are abundantly found. In July and August occurs the slaughter of the innocents by cholera infantum,dysentery and diarrhoeal troubles. Ptomains in food is the usual cause. Physicians should instruct their patients as to the origin and cause of their troubles Patients should know that milk must be cooled immediately that it is drawn from the cow, and kept cool until uspd, otherwise the microbes it contains will grow and in many instances will form various ptomains, which will cause diarrhoeal diseases. The number slain in battle is insignificant when compared to the number slain by food poison. If the people of Indiana would exercise great care during July and August in preparing the food given to their babies, the statistics wuuld not show that during those months that three to four hundred infants had porished from diarrhoeal diseases, which are simply cases of poisoning.
it is rather an interesting fact that while not a single ex-governor of Indiana is alive, the widow of every governor for the last forty years, who was the wife of a governor during his regime is alive and well. The widow of Henry S. Lane is living in this city. The widow of Oliver P. Morton lives in Indianapolis. The widow 'of Thomas A. Hendricks lives in the old Hendricks home in the very shadow of the state house. The widow of Governor Chase is in poor circumstances. Governor Grady's widow lives in Indianapolis and the widow of Governor Matthews at the old home place in Vermillion county. The widow of Governo" Mount lives on the farm at Shannondale.
Health officer: "One of the greatest foes to good health, both indoors and outdoors, is du8t, not only on account of its irritating qualities when taken into the air passages, but also on account of its property of transmitting infection. Any measure like ttreet sprinkling which will prevent dust from rising into the air is a health measure. Also any measure like oil on school room floors and the floors of public buildings to keep down dust is a health measure. The Indiana state board of health advises all school authorities to oil the floors of the school bouses under their charge."
THE CRAWFOBDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.
The Mayor's Court.
Mike Zellars was up last Monday, charged with having assaulted and battered his wife Saturday night. Mike led the officers a hot foot race and was only caught when the police fired their revolvers, when he stopped like he had run up against a stone wall. He was assessed the customary amount.
Frank Hendricks was also up, charged with having sold liquor on Sunday. He pleaded not guilty and will stand trial.
