Milford Lyon, the evangelist, who stirred up Fort Wayne and who is now holding tabernacle meetings at Terre Haute, has a total of 2,192 converts. Os this number 2'll decisions were made at the meeting on Sunday. Since going to Terre Haute Dr. Lyon has waged a fierce fight on the saloon element. We have just learned why some of the editors down at Vincennes and Washington are so strongly opposed to women voting. The following extract from the election law evidently fully explains the matter: “The curtains in front of the booths must be of sufficient height from the floor to make the lower limbs of the voter plainly visible to the election officers.”—Loogootee Tribune. A billion bushel wheat crop, the greatest ever known in the world’s history, is indicated for the coming harvest in today’s forecase by the federal crop reporting board on the growing winter and spring wheat crops. Should that enormous quantity be harvested the United States would have upwards of 385,000.000 bushels of wheat during the coming year tc supply the demands of the warring European nations, which are expected to increase rather than diminish. Domestic consumption this year probably will reach 535,000,000 bushsis for food purposes and about 80,000,000 bushels for seeding. One of the new laws of Indiana asI fecting land owners and one which many farmers are not yet familiar with, is'that specifying a time for cutting weeds, briers, and other such growths along their lands, giving credits for such work on road taxes and fixing a penalty for failure to comply. The new law says among other things that land owners through or along whose lands public highways are laid out and extended, shall between the fifteenth day of June and the first day of September in each year, cut down or cause to be cut down, and destroy, for the length and distance such highway shall extend along or through their lands, -all briers, thistles, burrs, docks, willows, sumac, weeds, cattails, tall grass, shrubs and other growths, which in any manner either partly or wholly obstruct the view of any such highway. — NOTICE TO PATRONS.
