Entered at the Postofflce In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. A factory In the little city of Ne'.v Castle paid out more than a million dollars for wages the past year and have planned to increase that amour, t at least a half during the next twelve months. Another one there has paid out a half million and several more than SIOO,OOO. Times must bo rather bum there. Don't see how it couid help being. Governor Ralston has proclaimed that October 7th be Riley Day in In»l<ana and this is one occasion which should be celebrated by every boy and girl in the Hoosier state and by every man and woman who has not yet lost his or her love for the beautiful, the best there is in nature, art and thought. No man in all this land has brightened the corners as has our own widely beloved Riley and the day should be enthusiastically observed. Dr. Dumba, the Austrian ambassador to this country, who admitted that iie had arranged strikes and assisted in producing them, that the manufacture of certain goods might be held up for months and who claimed to be acting under instructions from his government, has been asked to leave here or rather his government has been notified that his presence is no longer acceptable and that he be recalled. Tire action of this foreign official was without excuse and without defense anl the administration will he supportei in their attitude. Yes, business is bad, and things are going to the bow- wows because the republicans are not in power. Here is an awful proof that there is no money in the country and that people are so hard up they can’t afford to buy the necessaries, let alone the luxuries, of life. And this is proof right here at homo, so close to us that we can’t help but believe it. Just see how hard up the people are An automobile company in Kokomo has declared a dividend of 123 per cent on a capitalization of $600,000, Even a standpat politician would be tickled to death to have some stock in that concern these hard times when the people are all broke. For, of course, it is the hard-up people who buy automobiles. —White County Democrat.

1 BODIES HOMEWARD BOUND. Honolulu, Sept. 10 —The dead of the I Bubjnarhie F-4, iij eight caskets, drap- | ed with the American flag, were placed yesterday aboard the United States steamship Supply to be sent home. Shortly afterward the steamer weigh • ed anchor and sailed for San Francisco. Four of the bodies which had - been identified occupied separate coffins and will be gent to relatives. The . fragmentary remains of only nine others of the crew of the remainder of the crew of the submarine were shipped and these occupied the four other 1 coffins which will be sent to the national cemetery at Arlington, Va. As 1 the funeral cortege escorted by three artillery companies and a military • band moved through the streets, crowds stood with bared heads and 1 the Hags of the city were at half-mast. o POLICE COURT. Frak Nolan came to town again last evening, but was unable to get out. He met several of his old-time friends and after “hitting up the bottle” a little while, he was found in a very peaceful slumber on North First street. Night Policeman Reynolds came along and tried to stir him up, but it was impossible. Nolan was so 1 near all in that it took the help of another man to pick him up and turn him over to Sheriff Green at the county jail. It was intended to arraign Nolan before Mayor Christen at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but owing to his condition it was impossible to do so. If he sobers up by this evening, the trial will be held then. o * NOTICE OF SALE.

RICH IN ITS HISTORY ISTRIAN TERRITORY HAS HAD AN IMPORTANT PAST. Battlefield of Europe Throughout tho Centuries, It Ig Again thg Center of Discord—Strict Old Communal Regulation*. "Many long-slumbering memories have bpm quickened by the present resistless flood of war that has engulfed In Us course nearly all of the historic spots In Europe, recalling to the breathless onlookers In neutral lands, In the light of the tragic significance of these places today, their romantic stories of the centuries past,” begins a bulletin Issued by the National Geographic society, treating of what life has been In Austria’s Istrian territory, which the Italians are now attempting to invade. The statement continues: ‘Tstrla, the wedge-shaped peninsula at the head of the Adriatic and the surrounding territory back of Trieste, not of great importance commercially or industrially and with few connections with the world In the West, thus little known and spoken o f t unrolls a stream of highly Interesting reminiscences of past civilizations when brought to attention as one of today’s great battlefields. The civilization of the peninsula is ancient. lonian3 from rich and cultured Miletus #ettled colonies there In the ninth century B. C., and In 735 B. C. theCorinthians followed them. The Sunny culture of the Greeks once blossomed all along these shores, formed Its artists here, bullded its temples, and at laßt gave way before the Celts, who arrived about the fourth century B. C. When the Romans were forced to crush the pirates of the North Adriatic, Istria fell under their domination. about 177 B. C. Following an uprising the Romans thoroughly subdued the land in 128 B. C., and in 127 p. C. 14,C00 Roman colonists were settled there. “Through tke Dark Ages and well into the Middle Ages Istrian land was In the vortex of the struggle between the empires of the ea§t and west, and then between Byzantium, the German powers of the north and the rising commercial cities of Italy. By 1145 Venice had established privileged connections with most of the Istrian towns. From this time date some very interesting records of social organizations on the peninsula. The land was organized Into communes, with their chief magistrate, a small council or council of assessors, and a council of the people. The commune governments extended their work to an even greater degree than the most governed communities would think of doing today. Their regulations provided for all manner of domestic supervision. They fixed the time of new vintage, the time'for selling new wine, the amount of bread that could be baked In one town, and administered ‘pure food’ regulations with greatest strictness. v “As today, judges went through the markets trying the food. These judges went through the taverns and tasted the wine before the Innkeepers might put it on sale. The prices of foreign goods were filed by the authorities and the quality of these goods carefully determined before they could be put on sale. Stone measurements were cut on fountains, on the foundation stones of public buildings and on other conspicuous places. Armed men were not allowed to enter the cities, the regulation against carrying weapons being deemed just as important then as new?" However, a citizensoldier who happened to kill an onlooker during military practice was able to get immunity from punishment. Militarism had its privileges In Istria. “In some of the cities the making of false money was punishable with death; the bearing of false witness, where no fine was collected, was punished by the loss of the right nostril and publication on the stair of the town hall of the delinquent as a perjurer. The destruction of property was punished by the loss of the right hand, and a long list of illegal wprds, oaths and objectionable phrases was attached to the section of the code that provided the punishment of the pillory for the blasphemer. Tips were strictly forbidden; the workman was forced to accept no more than the wage prescribed. The activity of those intrusted with looking out for the people’s welfare stretched to every little detail of domestic life.” Novels in Class. The novel falls into one of four classes, as It deals with romance, with life, with ideals, or as, lastly, It takes the shape of a work of art pure and simple. Os the great novelists #f the last century, Scott, Thackeray and George Eliot stand for the first three types. For the fourth we look in vain in that period. Mr. Hardy, who embodies it as to the manner born, is of our own generation; and here the name which at once occurs to us for romance is that of Robert poijis Stevenson, for life that of George Meredith, and for ideas that of Mrs. Humphrey Ward. The divisions, of course, overlap. Unduly Influenced. “Gadson sosms to hay* great epuUdence in his car." “Yes. Still, I think it's a rather questionable sort of confidence.” “Why so?” “Hp hasn’t had his car long and the arguments of the mdn who sold It to him are still ringing In his ears."
