MYERS • Edward Rond .of .Marion deputy ,: state inspector of factories, public > buildings, was here last Thursday : on bls regular tour of inspection to ; see that the law* in this department ’ are being enforced. His visits were ■ paid io the factory building*, hotel*. . i lodce rooms, theater*, printing offices i and similar buildings, to se» that the ■ | proper exits, fire escapes, are prov-’d- .! ed. and other precaution* taken for ; safety in case of fire The sanitary .. conditions are also given attention .! The matter of the employment of ' 1 child labor is also inquired strictly ‘ i into. The public buildings were all I found in good condition. There w»* . found but one violation of the child I labor law. and there was no prosecution made, simply a statement asking for a correction of the fault. In this > instance a boy w>s found painfully employed daring the evening. The law requires that no girl under sixteen years cf age be em* p!c for znore than nine hours a day A child under sixteen years of age cannot be gainfully employed except between the hours of seven ia the morning and six in the evening. A childen between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years may be employed nine hours a day in case of a written certificate signed by the parents In oses of printing offices, precaj- . tior. must be taken in providing a ! pipe to carry oJ the fumes from the ’ vats containing the molten metal us-d in linotyping, which, in time, if they escape into the workroom, produce | injuriou* effects upon the bronchial j tubes Because of the abrogation of the Chicago agreement of last April, by which all the ..-unk lines in the Un;ted States voted against running »t:rr.mer excursions for less than a 2-cent-a-mile fare in 1912, a passenger rate war is threatened on all lines involved. St. Louis became the stage of operations Tuesday when one of the roads announced a rate of F- to Toledo for the round trip, with a five-day return limit This wa» almost immediately followed by a similar action by the Wabash on the ground that the Clover Leaf, having set the example, the Wabash was placed in the attitude of self-protection within its own territory. In th- meantime, it is declared, other middle wes- lines are preparing to follow th- exampl- *et by the Clover Leaf and Wabash railroads. I As announced tbefiover L-as will ran an excursion to St Lottis for a rate of S 5 from this city on August 24th. A five-day return limit wfll be given. REV MEYER. NEW PASTOR. Rev Wehmeyer of this city will go to Sebum, Ohio, Sunday. September 1. where he will install Rev. Meyer of Cape Giradeau. Mo. as pastor of the Lutheran church there, succeeding Rev. Hoile, who resigned to go o | South Bend. A student from Fort Wayne will preach here in the pulpit 1 of Rev. Wehmeyer during his ab- • sence.

Just j bow the accident occurred, no one is I able to tell, but it is thought that he ■ either sat down on the ties and fell. asleep, or was struck while he was.' walking on the track Mr. McKenna i of this city had left here on Sunday night on his vacation for his some to : attend a home-coming of the children. who bad not been together for some years, and only a day or two alter their arrival there did the sad acct-l dent occur Just previous to his leave he was seen by his companions and stated that he was going to his camping place near the scene of his work.

As he mounted his wheel, intend ng to go no-tit, re ran into the street, riding north at an acute angle, and Ellsworth, who was also going north, on the same side of the street, ran him down. It is stated by several witnesses of the accident that EH«wcrth was going from | ten to twenty miles per hoar j when he struck Parent. When struck.
