FARMERS WANT IN IT Stock in the Business Men’s Produce company will not be confined to Decatur business men. The farmers will not have it that way. Applications are coming thick and fast from reliable men. who want to be in on a deal that promises the best markets, regardless of a market trust that hammers the price down when they buy, and by the same process, hammers it up when they sell. Applications for stock are coming from men who not only prefer but want to trade in Decatur. They say they are willing to risk their money in a business that is based on good markets. They contend, and rightly, too, that the interests of the farmer and the merchants of this city are mutual. Good markets mean that Decatur has nailed down their trade, and with every farmer around Decatur trading here, it means prosperity in abundance for every merchant. On the other hand it does not take an expert to figure out that the present system is ruinous. It reduces trade relations and seriously impairs the business of every merchant. Sure some one profits—the shipper of this produce purchased at niggardly prices, and made niggardly by a market trust- It is no wonder that the farmer and many of the merchants want a new deal, and are willing to put up their own money to get it.

QUICKLY VINDICATED In his published statement Jeclar ing that railroad regu'ation and not public ownership is an issue Mr. Bryan said: "So far the railroads have beeu successful in preventing effective federal regulation, and state regulation has, as a rule, been restrained by the United States cou-ts.” The ink was hardly dry on this statement when its truth was emphasized by the action of federal Judge Pritchard in enjoinine the enforcement of the North Carolina rate law. And Pritchard went farther in behalf of the railroads than any other federal judge. He went so far, indeed, that the railroads themselves, if they are wise, will see the danger in his usurpation. This country will not submit to a government of, by and for the railroads and trusts to the exclusion of all others and to the ultimate destruction of the republic.

Renaming Taylor University in honor of Bishop McCabe, that grand old man of Methodism, who died so recently, was an honor worthily bestowed upon a great man’s memory. Perhaps no churchman has ever grown so near to the hearts of Muncie people as Bishop McCabe, and his death about a year ago was felt as a personal loss by thousands, both Methodists and others. The action of the trustees will undoubtedly meet the w-idest possible approval—Muncie Press.

According to the New York Sun, a southern gentleman, blessed with political ambitions, has developed the following platform: “I specially favor better crops, sweeter sugar, purer and longer lives with more pleasure in them, lower prices for all things that we have to buy and higher prices for all the things that we have to sell.” Pfeffer, the former Kansas senator, who became famous as a populist, asserts that the republican party has absorbed the populists and is now occupying populistic grounds. The party has captured Pfeffer and Butler, the later of South Carolina, and the long whiskered Kansan no doubt figures that they constitute the whole populist party j—Columbia City Post-

The locals started out with a rush in the first, scoring one run by clean hitting. This small lead was overcome by the visitors in the first half of the second and the score remained this way until the sixth, when with the assistance of an error and several hits, the visitors pushed over two runs, and it looked very much like Van Wert. The locals, not to be outdone, came back in their half of the same inning and secured one run and the score was now three and two in the visitors favor. There was nothing more doing until the eighth, when Pierce secured a single, promptly stole second, and scored on Burns’ two base hit, thus tying up the score- The visitors were blanked in their half of the ninth, and the locals at their time at bat made the finish that spoiled all chances for Van Wert and gave us the game. Burns, the first man up, singled: Weber attempted to sacrifice and singled: Way walked, filling the bases and Rasty settled the game by batting out a long fly to left center on which Burns scored the winning run after the catch was made. Owing to the fact that no umpire had been assigned for this game by mutual agreement between the captains, McDonald, of Van Wert and Railing of this city officiated, and they did excellent work. The visitors have a good team and are at present playing the game with a vim and snap that will put them well up in the race for the pennant, and they will yet be heard from. The locals go to Bluffton today for two games and will not be seen home again until next Saturday, when they play Portland- The score: Van Wert. Name.

MAKES IT DIZZY Large Amount Spent on Criminals and Paupers NO END TO COAL SUPPLY Government Officials Tell Us We Have Coal to Burn —Gompecs Likes Verdict. Washington, July 30. —Prof- Charles J. Bushnell, Ph. ~ of this city, who recently made the statement that the American public was on the verge of bankruptcy because it expended $6,000,000,000 a year on the criminal, pauper and vicious classes, while the annual increase of wealth aggregated only $5,000,000,000, is ready to back his assertion with an elaborate array of statistics. In discussing the subject Professor Bushnell said: "Ten millions of our people, one-eighth of the population, are now constantly in such poverty that they are unable to maintain themselves in physical efficiency, and 4,000,000 of them are public charges. In 1889, one of our prosperous years, 18 per cent., or nearly one-fifth of all the people of New York state, had to apply for charitable relief; in 1903 14 per cent of all the families of Manhattan were evicted, and every year about 10 per cent, of all who die there have pauper burials.

Washington, July 30-—According to officials of the United States Geological Survey, there is no danger of an early eyhaustion of the coal supply. To correct erroneous statements, Dr. Otis Smith, the director of the survey, has given out statistics prepared by M. R Campbell, who has charge of the economic geology of fuels, and E. W. Parker, coal mining expert and statistician. In summarizing the reports of these experts, Mr. Smith says: "An estimate of our bituminous coal fields prepared with much care by Mr. Campbell, shows that the total quantity of coal stored in the ground was about 2,2o0,000,ut)0,000 short tons. From this supply there have been extracted, according to Mr. Parker’s figures, to the close of 1906, about 4,625,000,000 short tons, and, estimating a recovery of 66 2-3 per cent, or in other words, assuming that for every ton of coal mined there is a half a ton lost —this represents an exhaustion of nearly 7,000,000,000 tons or only one-third of 1 per cent of the total supply.

Washington, July 30. —President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, in an interview regarding the outcome of the Haywood trial at Boise, declared that no honest American jury could have brought in any other verdict. o — — N. Y„ writes: "About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure It entirely stopped the brick dust sediment and pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. lam glad to say that I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four years that have elapsed and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and heartily recommend Foley’s Kidney Cure to any one suffering from kidney or bladder trouble.” THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS.

HEART FAILURE Dr. Zimmerman of Fort Wayne Is Dead. FORMER RESIDENT OF BERNE He Lived in Adams County Eighteen Years—A Wife and Thr«e Children Survive. Dr. Charles K. Zimemrman, a prominent Ft. Wayne specialist in cancer and chronic diseases, died suddenly Monday morning at his residence. 1010 Harrison street, as a result of acute heart trouble, the first attack of which Dr. Zimmerman sustained Friday morning- The deceased who had practiced medicine in this city for seven years, was sixty-two years of age. The doctor suffered the first attack on last Friday while in the People’s drug store, and on Saturday he w'as again taken with severe pains in the region of the heart, suffering greatly all day Sunday. While in the act of dressing Monday morning Dr. Zimmerman was stricken by the third and fatal attack, dying almost instantly. Dr. Zimmerman was born in Richmond, Ind, Jan. 31, 1845. For eighteen years he practiced in Berne, this county, and for seven years occupied the chair of electricity in the New Sork Polyclinic college. The deceased is survived by a wife and three children. Dr. W. W. Zimmerman, of Richman, is a brother, and a sister, MrsMary Gish, resides in Lafayette. portlandToregon (Continued from page 1.) of the coast is the monopoly of the Harriman interests. If a mill is operated, or a mine opened, an orchard planted or a fish caught, each must pay a tribute to Harriman before it reaches the markets. The man who is chosen to office must wear a Harriman color or else go to oblivionThe municipality or state who desires to exist in the west must bow to Harriman, and each man in the great commonwealths of nearly one-half the continent pays tribute to this man, who has them as completely in control as if they were owned by him. This would be a great country, if it were not for this one fact. The climate is fine. Yesterday, while the central and eastern part of the country was sweltering in heat we 1 w r ere taking a ride down the Columbia river, too cold, and raw to be outside the cabin. We were down to the salmon canneries at Astoria. The season’s catch of fish has been a disappointment to the packers, very few being caught so far. We saw along I the river men with teams drawing in the large nets, and was told that sometimes when the fish are “runI ning” that these men have caught at one "draw” fourteen u;ns of fish. They are canned, pickled and dried and shipped to all parts of the world, thousands of tons being caught in this river every year. The country around Portland is mostly woods, consisting principally of fir trees. These are being con- ! verted into lumber and shipped all over the world- Salmon fishing a few years ago was the principal industry, but at this time lumbering is in the lead.

There are a great many farms being opened up and planted in orchards of prunes, cherry, apple and other fruit trees. Very little wheat is raised in the vicinity either in Oregon or Washington. The principal hay crop consists of oats cut green and cured. I saw one load of clover and timothy hay since we came here. This is the leading hay in (lalifornia. but the California hay is wild oats, which comes up volunteer, as ragweeds do in Indiana. So far we have had a delightful trip. We leave tomorrow over the Hill system of roads for Seattle and Spokane, where we expect to spend Sunday. Yours truly, R. K- ERWIN. o WAS IN POOR HEALTH FOR YEARS. Ira W. Kelley, of Mansfield, Pa, writes: “I was in poor health for two years, suffering from kidney and bladder trouble, and spent considerable money consulting physicians without obtaining any marked benefit but was cured by Foley’s Kidney Cure, and I desire to add my testimony that it may be the cause of restoring the health of others.” Refuse substltutea THE HOLTHOUSE PRTTG CO. —o — ■ ■ WANTED —A woman to do work on Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays.
