Indianapolis, Aug. 11. —Numerous requests received daily '.by the state board of health from ail parts of the state, to make analysis of water samples, show, according to Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, that typhoid fever is appearing much earlier than usual this year. In years past it has been the experience of the state board of health that where typhoid appeared earlier than usual there usually was an increased amount of it. Files, according to Dr, Hurty, are largely responsible for the spread of typhoid. It is a well known fact that a single fly is capable of carrying 100,000 disease germs, enough thoroughly to inoculate a human being with the disease should the germs get into his system. Improper disposal of sewage and bad water, especially that from shallow wells, contribute to the general spread of the disease. The farmers mid-summer institute and picnic to be held at Berne on Thursday, August 20th promises to be a very successful affair and a record breaking ,crowd is anticipated. The program as arranged, is a veryenticing one and now one of the best aeronauts in the land has been secured to give a baloon ascension and parachute drop. No doubt this will attract many people who will become interested in the institute work.

The meeting of tht Ladles’ Aid So I etety of the German Reformed church ’ I j which was to have been held this ' f ‘ week at the home of Mrs. John Kirsch I 1 [on Wednesday afternoon, has been*/ [postponed until Wednesday of next j’ | week. All members are requested to ( I notice the change and be present when j the meeting is eaKed next week A slumber party which was one of < the leading events of the season, was i the one given by Miss Ruth Buhler < Saturday evening in honor of Miss t Marie Knox, of Indianapolis, and Edna 1 1 Mylott, of Marlon, Irid. The evening • i was spent in playing progressive pe- i dro and dancing. Excellent, music ■ was furnished by Miss Bertha Kohne j Those present were Agnes Kohne, , "Billie'’ Dugan, Frances Cole, Grette , Shomaker, Stella Kohne, Dorothy Du- i gan, Lily Buhler, Marie Knox, Edna Mylott and the hostess. All report a fine time. The members cf the Friday Night Euchre Club will be entertained next Friday evening at the home of Mrs. Al Graham o n Fourth street. All the members are requested to be present and an enjoyable time will be had. One of the many social events of the week will occur this evening when about forty guests will be entertained at a birthday party to be given by Miss Anna Clark at her home on Third street. Misses Nancy Crouch and Lola Hall, of Van Wert, Ohio, who are visiting here, will be the honored ■guests. , John D. Nidlinger is today mourning •the less of one of the most valuable hogs of his big herd of Durocs. The animal was one of the fancy show hogs which John has been grooming for the state fairs and other Shows, was eighteen months' old and undoubtedly the finest Duroc in the middle west. It would be hard to .place a value on the animal but it was probably worth $1,500 or $2,000. The big "hog choked to death yesterday on an apple while feeding in the orchard. Hattie Burkhead, the young lady whose escapade Sunday evening caused her arrest,'and who when brought up for trial refused to talk, was given another chance before Mayor France about nine o’clock Monday evening, her father and brothers being anxious to secure her release. She was found guilty and fined SIO.OO and costs amounting to about $20.00. She Trad no money and was taken back to jail over night, when the docket was stayed and she was released. The young woman has promised to leave Decatur and remain away. Thursday is to be a banner day at Maple Grove Park, and it is probable that one of the largest crowds of the season will be there on that date. Four organizations, the G. A. R. and W. R. C. and the Evangelical and Christian churches will on that day enjoy their annual picnic at the park and the families and friends of the various members are planning a day of genuine pleasure. Various amusements which tend toward success of a picnic will be provided and young and old will be delighted. The two churches have chartered a car for the occasion and Miss Anna Winnes will sell tickets on the car, good for round trip. The profits will be used to pay the necessary expenses at the ground and for refreshments, including lemonade, etc. The G. A. R. program is sure to be of interest and ! many will be disappointed if the day is not a happy one. Chicago, Aug. 10.—Chicago has a population of 2,425,000, according to an estimate of the publishers of the city directory. The estimate is an increase of 58,000 over the population in 1907, and is based on the United States census of 1900. The figures of the directory publishers and those of the enumerators for the school board are at variance, the latter representing a population of 2,1400,000. Don't forget the ice cream social to be given by the Ladies’ Aid Society of the M. E. church at Monroe on the 22nd of August. A good num- 1 ber of amusements are to be on the , program and all are assured of a j good time who are in attendance. j A selection of rooms for the coming 1 campaign was made by Chairman Plessinger today of the upstairs apartments over the Progress, and demo 1 cratic headquarters will be located 1 there for the campaign of 1908. There are three good rooms, and the furni- j ture used, two years ago is being put t in shape. It is expected that by Wed- i nesday the new headquarters will be 1 opened for business and that from this < date on they will be the scene of activ- ] ity. Everybody is welcomed and in- t vited to drop up and add a suggestion < and put forth a tip. Charles Gingrich , will be in charge and will have the , rooms open at all times for visitors. ( The headquarters are the most central to be obtained and in a day or two j a big sign will be flung to the breezes i so that everybody will know where { to find them.—Bluffton Banner. < Horse sale at C. & E. stock yards < Saturday, begins at 12 o’clock. 1

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 11. I From the lipg of numerous callers from various parts of the country and letters received, William J. Bryan had gratifying reports of the political outlook as affecting his candidacy for the presidency. AJtafether he had one of the busiest day s since his nomination, receiving many callers. "While I take no part in the contests between democrats before the convention or primaries, I am sure I will be pardoned in this case, for while we had a number of worthy democrats aspiring to the governorship in Illinois, no one among them was superior in hi s qualifications to Mr. Stevenson. I believe ho will make a very strong candidate and will greatly aid the national ticket. The dissatisfied republicans, and there are many of them in Illinois, will feel that no harm could come to the state from Mr. Stevenson’s election. His large public service and his sterling qualities combine to make him the ideal candidate and he will make an ideal governor.” A visit from Henry George, Jr., today lasted an hour. His opposition to the idea of the guaranty of bank deposits was well known to Mr. Bryan, but that will not prevent his supporting the democratic ticket. Mr. George is nearing the end of an extensive lecture tour and when that is concluded it is his intention, to take the stump for Bryan and Kern. “We talked about some things that were particularly interesting to us.” remarked Mr. George, but beyond that he would say nothing of what was under discussion. To the newspaper men Mr. George declared that if he could trust the signs he noted a trade union movement in New York similar to that in 1886, when his father conducted his campaign for mayor. “This is the first time in many years, except in the case of Representative Littlefield of Maine,” said Mr. George, "that President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, has been in a political fight. It is very significant.” In his opinion trade unions were more in politics in the present campaign than he ever knew them to be before, “and that,” he said, “is saying a god deal. There are conditions” he remarked, “such as hard times and labor injunctions, that had aroused the laboring men to action.’’ Indianapolis, Aug. 10.—A gigantic public utilities corporation to supply light, heat and power to a score or more cities and towns in northern Indiana and Ohio has been formed with a capital stock of $4,500,000. Articles of incorporation were filed today at the office of the secretary of state. The directors are: Franklin |L. Babcock, Anthony N. Brady, Charles F Dieterich, Frank S. Hastings, Jas. P. Lee, Samuel T. Murdock, Henry C. Paul, Albert Tag, and James N. Wallace. The Indiana lightning company, as the corporation will be known, is authorized to supply light, heat and power to Fort Wayne, Bluffton, Montpelier, Anderson, Lafayette, West Lafayette, Logansport, Peru, Wabash, Decatur, Geneva, Berne, Crawfordsville Lebanon, Thcrnton and Frankfort, in Indiana, and to Lima, Wapakoneta, Celina, St. Marys, Greenville, Fort Recovery/ North Mercer and Coldwater in Ohio, and to other villages and towns in proximity to the cities and towns named. Light, heat and power may be supplied by means of artificial and natural gas, electricity, steam and hot water, and to that end the company is authorized to manufacture, produce, procure, transport, distribute and sell its products, also to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire natural gas territory. gas wells, gas works, power plants, etc. The company was incorporated under the Roemler public utilities law, enacted by the last general assembly and by it is enabled to purchase and own all or part of the shares of the capital stock and bonds and other securities of any other artificial or natural gas or electrical company and to invest its funds therein. The ar tides of incorporation state that the consent of all persons who are or may become share holders in the company formed hereunder is given to such purchase and ownership. The capital stock is divided into 45,000 shares of SIOO each and the home of the new company will be at Lafayette. Arthur Mangold, who has been em- . ployed in the grocery department of the Boston store for several years, has ( resigned and left last night for Sa- . bina, Ohio, where he will install a , Staup bowling or five pin alley. The ( location is exceptionally good, as 11 there is no competition, and Arthur ] expects to do a thriving business. He will open his place the last of the week. He is a hustler and should easily make the new business move. The Ward Fence Co. will soon more into their ne n office quarters on Monroe street, which has been remode ec and fixed up. The building is very commodious and will afford the office employes much more room than m their present quarters.

/ The city council held a special ses- I sion Monday night to discuss the petition of the Fort Wayne and Springfield railway company for a franchise which will permit them to run a feed line through Second street, carrying 6.600 vojts, with which to operate the line south. The question was brought up at the regular meeting last week and was vigorously objected to by the Citizens' Telephone company, who claim that such a line paralleling their line would make their lines so noisy they could not give good service. The council designated Monday evening to hear the discussion and both sides were there In force. The various points were presented by Messrs. Shelton, Lutz Koenig, Fledderjohann and . an expert from Auburn for the traction • company and Messrs. Schirmeyer, > Smith, Bowers, Clark and others for . the telephone company. After a two ’ hours’ discussion by these men, the I council went into executive session, I lasting about .five minutes, when it was decided to postpone the question . until the regular meeting next Tuesr day evening, when a vote will be takr en. the council members in the meantime investigating further. Should j the franchise be refused, the feed 3 wires will probably be strung along t the river and the city cars will be operated ag at present on 550 volts. The interurban company say this 5 would entail an expense of several thousand dollars. Quite a number of citizens attended the session last evening. In a sense the campaign in Adams s county will open next week, bills al- . ready being printed for circulation I and which announce that Congress- . man Adair will speak at Monroe, . Thursday evening, August 20, and at Pleasant Mills Friday, August 21. . Both meetings will be held at 7:30 . in the evening and it is expected that . rousing crowds will turn out to hear Congressman Adair. Most of them [ will give him the glad hand and wish . him good luck and lots of it. Mr. > Adair will make an active speaking campaign, and there will be no part . of the district that will not hear or . see him before the close of the cam- : paign. 1 Chairman Gallogly has opened head- • quarters in the Meibers block, and quite soon it is expected that that place will take on an air cf real life. Organization and other work is already taking considerable of the chair-

man’s time,and it will not be long until the campaign will be well in hand. Only one week remains .nutil the democracy of Jay county will meet in delegate convention in this city and nominate the county ticket comprising of a candidate for representatve, prosecuting attorney, county treasurer, sheriff, commissioner for the north district, commissioner for the middle district, county surveyor and coroner. The convention proper will consist of 305 delegates, the ratio this year being about the usual number, but aside from the delegates who will choose the ticket there bids fair to be a large number of the faithful present from all parts of the county and in all probability the Auditorium will scarcely be large enough to accommodate those who will want to attend the conventic i and hear the address of Hon. Thomas R. Marshall, the democratic candidate for governor, which will follow the naming of the ticket.—Portland Sun.
