Well how s this for about the correct kind of weather? We always squeal when its too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry, but the past day or two has been as near perfect as we would ask. Its going to be a great old fair and when you see the complete list of attractions you will agree to that.

The release of Mrs. Rae Krauss, of Hartford City, self confessed murderer of her step-daughter, and sentenced to life imprisonment, has created a storm of protest from over the state largely because of the irregular man ner in which the pardon was granted. There was no application and even the prisoner did not know of the action until she was called in and informed that she was to leave immediately for Buffalo where her father lives. Such actions as this is the greatest argument against doing away with capitol punishment. The Harding Highway Association of Indiana will meet next Thursday at Culver to elect officers and talk over plans and finance and popularize this road. The highway which has home offices at Marion, Ohio, got away with a good start in the preliminary, but evidence of graft by those in charge of the field work and the evident desire to raise an exorbitant sunt of money, put the ‘‘kibosh" on further exertions by the people of the communities through, which it passed. Just what the plans are now we have no idea, but they will have to be considerably different than those formerly proposed if further local support is given, we predict. Reports just issued show that 118,177 hogs died in Indiana last year from cholera and a campaign is nowbeing put on to urge all farmers to take precautions and to be constantly on the alert to prevent infection of their hogs this year. Once the disease is discovered 1 you are advised to apply serum treatments and keep the hogs on light diet in sanitary quarters with plenty of pure drinking water. The main thing however is to prevent the disease by care and cleanliness and a serum treatment is advised by some. It will save the farmers of Indiana a million or two to follow the advice of the experts on this matter and its worth doing. Russell Scott, one time millionaire and leading contracting engineer, sentenced to be hanged at sunrise this morning, for the murder of Joseph Maurer in April of last year, was given his second relaxation late last night, when Judge David, of Chicago, issued a write of habeas corpus staying the execution until time has been given to inquire into Scott’s sanity. The case attracted wide attention and millions are hoping that the sentence of the man can be changed in some manner to life imprisonment. Septi plead guilty when first arraigned and then changed his plea when It -van

The condemned man 1 admits he was present when Maurer 1 was killed but insists that his brother did the shooting and the brother has never been located. We sincerely hope that a satisfactory arrangement can be made between Contractor Harris and the city officials which will continue the delivery of slonc to the highway under construction and we believe some plan can be worked out which will guarantee the protection of the city streets and lessen the time made by the truck men but little. Every one regrets the difficulties and we are sure there is no desire on the part of any one other than to look after the protection of the property and the safety of citizens of Decatur as well as to co-operate in every waypossible towards the construction of the highways. In a news article which appeared in this paper Wednesday an error was made in stating that Phillip Sauers had the contract for delivering the stone. Mr. Sauers operates the unloading device but has

absolutely nothing to do with the 1 hauling of the stone. It is important r that the new road be completed as 1 early as possible and Mr. Harris be1 lievcs he can open the highway by ! early October if not delayed and unless he can complete the work this • fall the road would be closed during 1 the winter. Surely there is some way to deliver the stone to the highway 1 and without the destruction of the syeets and other roada. And that's ’ what should be arranged If possible. * o (Big Features Os RADIO Programs Today Frday's Five Best Radio Features WLS.

CONS OLATION

What comfort have I now tn give. To soothe the heart, to which has come That grief which leaves our senses numb? That grief which makes it pain to live And darkens every path, and seems The end of all our happy dreams. Oh. friend of mine, be brave, and know That never will she suffer so. k Together we have prayed that she Might longer stay with hex’ caress To fill the day with happiness; But oh. what bargain could there be. What pledge or promise could we make To save ourselves this present ache And keep her here? Ten years? Ah. no! —

Chicago, Ju'y 24—"1 am not crazy and there will be no attempt to prove that I'm insane." Russell Scott asserted today. From behind the bars of his prison cell Scott explained how and why his latest reprieve had been obtained IHe also told how he felt while al' ' hope was gone and he expected to 'die on the gallows within a few hours ‘‘My friends hade the plea that I ' am insane simply to get another delay." Scott said. "They wanted the delay so that they could hgve more time to prove that I'm innocent. "I'm not crazy and I know it and everybody else knows. I’m innocent —that’s the point we are going to prove. ■'l'd just as soon die as be sent to an insane asylum.” Then, as he rubbed hie jaw where a tooth was aching, the young man that miraculously escaped the gallows described his emotions last night before learning of his latest reprieve, "I didn’t want to see anybody," he said. “I didn't want to tutik to anybody. 1 wanted to be alone and think’the thing out for myself. "I wanted to tear the bitterness out of my heart. I laid there on my back to think the thing over. "And as the morning wore on and the hour of my execution drew closer. one thought was uppermost in my mind. It was: “ 'ls this to be the end of capital punishment in Illinois?’ "I decided that maybe I was to be ' a martyr— Jhat if I was hanged this morning, public sentiment would rise ‘up against capital punishment aud

■ 'here never would be another hang- , ing in this state." Asked regarding the report that his brother, Robert, had been seen during the night at Port Huron, t Mich, Russell said he thought the re- ! port was a mistake. ’ “Robert is far, far away from Chii cago," Russell said “If he were , near enough to know about this awful thing, he would come and confess.” Scott went into conference with , his attorneys then and talked over , the prospects of establishing his innocence. z I 0 [ LIGHTNING IN FORESTS , When ligtning strikes a tree the ordinary result is to splinter the wood > or strip off bark through the sudden generation of steam -cays Nature > Magazine.
