Entered at the Poatofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Tlie police attempted to disperse last night's crowd by bringing out the fire truck and laying a string of hose, but the hundreds only buttoned up their rain coats and defied them. It takes more than a little water to frighten a Decatur crowd; in tact they seem to have had so much water in the past month that they like it. Street Commissioner Chronister reports that the cleaning up of the city has been completed. It has been a difficult job because of the wet weat ier, but was finally concluded last evening. Every alley in the city was cleaned and the rubbish taken away. The officials are thankful to the people ter their assistance and the entire city should feel thankful to the officials who looked after the annual cleanup. It pays. It is a peculiar fact that any person who .can preach can soon gather around him a number ot believers. Such men have built cities, have established banks, have made thenselves rich, by playing upon the minds of the many who are seeking salvation and who soon get themselves to that point where they believe that in order to be saved they must give all to the agent of the Lord as these leaders sometimes represent themselves. But 'twas always so and probably always will be. For the safety of the public the police officials should see that last night’s performances are not repeated. While we believe the most of the people in the crowd were sight-seers and had no idea of causing or receiving injury, it was just such a crowd that might have developed very quickly an idea to injure some one and such a condition is dangerous. Such movements can be stopped before they reach such a point and the police have the right to do so when they believe they are acting for the protection of the people of the community.

o WILLARD AND THE WILD WEST. Most of the wise old-time showmen shook their heads in doubt when it was that the 101 Ranch Wild West had contracted with the world’s champion fcr his appearance twice daily with that attraction, and had placed a bond to pay hint SI,OOO daily, work or play, rain or shine, 1 and in addition to the guaranteed amount, had agreed to B> ve him a part of the daily receipts, over a certain amount. The enormous business being done, irrespective of the weather, is proof that Manager Arlington was right in his selection of this w< nderful athlete as the feature for his show this season. Never in the history of amusements has such enormous receipts been taken. Every day is like a day in New York City, whin the championship was fought fftr a couple of years ago. by the ball teams.

Starvation. Whet is it? Wbst occurs? Whnt part of the human mechanism fail* ffist or last, when a person is deprived of food for a certain period of time? This is what takes place: During starvation the body loses weight, the various functions (walking, sitting up, etc.) become weaker, the body temperature first rises, then falls, and death supervenes after the loss of about 40 per cent of the body weight. The loss is not equally distributed among the various tissues, as the muscles and fat lose the most, then the bones, skin nnd liver, nnd (least of all) the heart, brain nnd spinal coni. Some persons starve without actually being denied food. Certain constitutional diseases bring on conditions which cause loss of weight and great weakness of every portion of the organism; the food eaten does not feed the disease ridden tissues and n state of starvation follows. Thus a person may starve even In the midst of plenty. Marked loss of weight, while in seeming good health, is a positive indication of some serious systemic disorder, which if treated in time will prevent further loss of weight and avert starvation and death. Printing a Coin on Linen, The print of a silver coin or medal may be made on silk or linen by dipping the fabric in a solution of nitrate of silver and stretching it over the face of the coin until the image is IraI printed. The linen Is sensitized by dip i ping it into a solution of nitrate of silver, made by dissolving sixty or eighty grains of nitrate of silver in one ounce of water. Wet the portion of the cloth which is to receive the impression in the solution, and when nearly dry draw it over the face of the coin and tie it at the back. Expose to a weqk light, and in a few minutes the I raised design of the coin will appear ion the linen. As soon as the print is dark enough remove and wash In clear water. When nearly dry iron it smooth with a warm iron, placing a piece of tissue paper over the print In printing from the coin or metjal it is advisable to paste a piece of paper on the reverse side, so that the silver will not come in contact with the sensitized fabric. An Irreverent Goat. The Welsh fusileers were presented by Queen Victoria with a goat, which, after several years of exemplary conduct, fell Into bad ways. Its culminating act of insubordination occurred when the regiment was quartered at Wrexham, and one fine summer evening after mess the officers were strolling about smoking and enjoying the fresh air. The colonel stooped down to push in the end of his trousers strap, and the goat, which happened to be close by, found the temptation irresistible. lie charged fiercely and butted his commanding officer against an adjacent wall with such force that both his eyes were blacked and his face was otherwise damaged. By this escapade the goat earned the title of “the Rebel,” and only the good record I of his early years of service saved him from being drummed out—London Express. An Anecdote of Greeley. A call was once made by a dozen noted artists of the Academy of Design in 1870 on Horace Greeley. Mr. Clarence Cook, then the art critic of the Tribune, had been saying things about the academy exhibition which caused the venerable chiefs of that establishment to boil with indignation. One day a committee went down to the Tribune to complain. Mr. Greeley, having listened in silence to what these gentlemen had to say, looked up from his desk, a twinkle in bis eye, and said, with his peculiar nasal falsetto: "Gentlemen, I judge from your remarks that Mr. Cook's articles are widely read. They will therefore continue to be printed in the Tribune. Good morning.” A Steamheated Ocean. A fourth year class was beginning the study of ocean currents. ‘‘Why is the ocean warmer in some places than it Is in others?” asked the teacher. Tbe children were puzzled. Finally Alexander, a bright little lad of seven years, volunteed this original, explanation: ' "Because it is steam heated in some places," said he. “You see, where the big steamships pass through the ocean the water is steam heated and therefor very much warmer than the places where no steamships pass.’’—New York Tribune. Playing It Safe. Hoktts—Flnbdub has been mixed up in a lot of shady financial transactions, and yet he is never caught. I’okus— That’s just like Flubdub.
