VICTIM OF ILL HEALTH.

George Glover, of Clark Township, Commits Suicide by Jumping In a Well.

George Glover, a respected and well-to-do farmer residing near the southeast corner of the county in Clark township, committed suicide Wednesday by jumping into the well.

Mr. Glover had been in pobr health for some time and for a month past his health had been especially bad, causing him to be quite despondent. It was known that he suffered from deep melancholy and in consequence his family kept a narrow watch upon him, fearing that he might attempt to commit suicide. Wednesday about three o'clock he left his bed and went out of doors. In a short time his family became alarmed and a search was begun for him. Not finding him about the yard or out buildings the neighbors were called in and the search was extended to the more remote parts of the farm. It was after nine o'clock when the searchers were rewarded by finding the dead body of Mr. Glover. He had gone directly from the house apparently and had leaped into the well, drowning there in a short time. No one had thought of the well when the search was first begun and it was only a short, time before the body was found that it was suggested.

Coroner Dennis was at once notified and he went to the Glover farm to hold the usual inquest.

Mr. Glover was about fifty years of age and his father is still living at North Salem. The deceased leaves a wife, one son and one daughter.

Indiana Crop Bulletin. (Week ending August 12, 1901.) Dry weather prevailed, with little or no rainfall during the week, and the deterioration of the late crops continued, except in a few districts of the northern portion, where corn is still in good condition. The late-planted and lowland crops of corn are now at a point where copious showers would produce good yields, and where continued absence of rain materially reduces the prospects the early crop is practically ruined, except for fodder. The reports on potatoes, tomatoes and garden and field vegetables are most discouraging, but sugar beets in Lake county are promising. The tobacco crop is suffering from lack of rain and is in an unsatisfactory condition. Threshing continued, with generally good results. Apple prospects continue fairly good. Pastures are dry, and farmers in some localities are feeding stock. Plowing proceeded with diffr culty, the ground being very hard.— United StateB Department of Agricul ture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Indiana section.

THE RAIN.

It Came Rather Unexpectedly to Those Who Stood to Welcome It.

It was about one o'clock Wednesday when a small and rather insignificant black oloud which hung over town began to give forth a few feeble imitations of thunder. There were other clouds somewhat like it hanging around but no one was inclined to take them seriously until a few big drops began to spatter on the sidowalk. Then people hoped that at least enough might fall to settle the dust. Anybody would have compromised with Jupiter Pluvius on that proposition. But Jupiter was better than the indications. A tolerable shower became a hard shower and for awhile the rain fairly poured down, drenching everything and causing the streets to flow with muddy torrents. The dust was washed from trees and houses and ?.,ie lawns received a longed for soaking. The appearance of the sky would indicate that the country north of town received even a better rain for the clouds seemed to unite as the rain progressed and to swing off to the northeast. The rain Wednesday was the hardest, and, in fact, the only telling rain since June 23. There was a little shower on June 26, and another on July 5, but neither counted for much. It is to be hoped that other rains will speedily follow the drought breaker of Wednesday.

CORN CROP A FAILURE.

Statistician Johnson Sees Nothing Hopeful About the Situation at This Time.

State Statistician Johnson has withdrawn his statement published a few days ago regarding the corn crop condition in Indiana, and declares that there will not be one-fourth of an average yield in Indiana this year. "There was some days ago," Mr. Johnson says, "a chance for the late corn, but my observations within the last few days and the reports that have reached my desk lead me to believe that the late corn cannot ripen now before the frost falls to spoil it. There is nothing hopeful about the situation. There will not be a quarter of last year's yield."

:errlble Deaths.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 14.—Governor Durbin will prevent prize fighting. On an opinion of attorney-general announced to-day, sheriffs will be instructed to attend all sparring exhibitions in their counties and arrest principals and those concerned if there is prize fighting or brutality. The at-torney-general says metropolitan police boards have constable powers anywhere in the county. If sheriffs refuse 10 do duty, police commissioners may act.

Deere Family Reunion.

The annual reunion of the Deere family was held at the Shades, near the old homestead, Wednesday, and was a pleasant occasion. Many things con spire to make the annual return of this day a pleasing anticipation and a grateful memory. Venerable Joel G. Deere and his worthy companion, Mary E., are among the oldest settlers of Montgomery county, and in their old age they not only enjoy the reward of the toil and sacrifice of early days but also have the inspiring consciousness that the virtues of honesty and industry which brought success to them find embodiment in their children. In the family area lawyer, a preacher, four farmers, two millers, a trader and a commission man and to come together once a year to rehearse their successes and failures and to spend a day in social and literary enjoyment is not less profitable than pleasant. For eleven years the family, forty-five strong, has met in annual reunion, and until the last threo years death never entered their ranks. With an inorease of three they came together this year at the beautiful and popular summer resort known far and near as the "Shades," and there participated in an excellent three course dinner served under the genial management of Mr. and Mrs. It. E. Moore, who are in charge of the hotel. Not until the sun was low in the west did the family go their several ways, feeling that one of the best days they had ever spent together had passed to be recalled only in glad retrospect. J. H. D.

INCREASE IN MORTALITY.

Dr. Hurty Predicts Large Increases In Death Rates.y

Secretary Hurty, cf the state board of health, announces that a fact in the bulletin for July that is calculated to attract widespread attention is that there were 010 more deaths in Indiana during July than during June and 2.10 more than in July of last year. Of the total number of deaths during July, which was 3,162, those from diarrhoeal diseases numbered 454, all of children under live years of age. The rate of this class of mortality was 14. per cent, ol the total number of deaths. This is characterized by Secretary Hurty as a veritable "slaughter of the innocents.'' "Dysentery alone destroyed 105 children," be declared, "and there were over 1,600 cases of the disease reported to the state board during the month of July. The board is cleanly of the opinion that the public should be educated to guard against diarrhoeal diseases, since they are known to be largely preventable." The reuort shows that (598 of the total number of deaths were of infants under one year of age. "We are preparing for a siege of typhoid fever," said Dr. Hurty, "as plainly appears from the fact that the rate of mortality from this disease in June was 10.0, while in July it rose to 3(i.l. August is certain to show a still higher rate from typhoid, and September will give a higher rate than August. We know this because typhoid culminates in the autumn and is especially prevaient after droughts. This is for the reason that the opportunities for water pollution are increased by drought." "Many people regard measles and whooping cough as harmless diseases," said the secretary, "yet nearly every month they destroy two or threo times as many children as the dreadodscarlet fever."

Diphtheria caused fourteen doaths during the month, but the board does not believe it will be any more destructive in August. However, in September and October, when the schools have opened, the health board looks for a material increase in the mortality from this disease. "It is to be deeply regretted," said the secretary, "that medical inspection of school children is not practiced in Indiana for the purpose of excluding the infectious and contagious diseases from our schools.

The county that had the highest death rate In July was Warrick, the percentage being 28 per thousand, and the lowest rate was in Warren county, where only 3.4 per thousand died.

Secretary Hurty made a number of interesting comparisons between urban and rural mortality. The urban death rate for July was 17.5 and the rural rate 13.4. Tuberculosis showed a death rate of 186.6 per hundred thousand of population in cities and only 142 in the country. Rural death rates were less than urban in all important diseases except typhoid fever. This disease has been termed a rural disease because of this fact. In July the urban typhoid mortality rate was 32 per hundred thousand of population, while the rural rate was 38.1.
