BROKE ALL RECORDS. Purdue Wreck Worst in History of the BU Poor. The total of sixteen passengers. killed in the wreck of the Big Four ■ train is one more than the total j number of passengers killed by all; the railroads in Indiana of the year ’ ending June 30, 1903. R. D. Ma l, han. deputy of the Indiana bureau of statistics, has compiled some figures of wreck disaster which show that the wreck of the Purdue train was the most appaling that ever occurred on the Big Four road. During the year ending June 30, 1903, on the Big Four system in Indiana, only one passenger was killed and two injured. During the same period on all railroads in Indiana, there were killed fifteen passengers, 131 employees and 2332 others, which last classification includes tramps, persons killed at crossings ; persons stealing rides and all others injured who have no business to be on the train, making a total of 378 deaths. During the year there were 296 passengers injured 2,335 employes hurt and accidents to the number of 327 befell those who are in the two classifications. THEY FOOLED HIM. Young Man Took Girl’s Brother to the Show. Quite a lot of fun was ’had with * a certain young man last evening : who has been trying to force his ' attention upon a young society lady of this city. It seems that this young man insisted upon the lady attending the show with him, and his argument was so strong that she accepted to be rid of him. After he was gone she called her brother and told him all, ana he said he , would find away out of it for her and he did. He proceeded to dress himself up in his sister's clothes and ! accomjianied the young man as far as the o]x*ra house door when he made a bold dash and escaped the young man who up to this time does not realize the joke that was ■ perpetrated upon him and he had to ! wend his weary way to the show himself. He says he did not enjoy it in the least. TO LEAVE GENEVA. Dr. Hughes Bids Farewell to That Place. Having decided to further increase my knowledge and prepare myself for special work.

OLD AND NEW WAY. ffyomti the Latest Scientific Discovery for the Care of Catarrh. The discovery of Hoytnei has wrought a wonderful change in the treatment of catarrh. Prior to three years ago the medicines ordinarilyemployed in the cure of thisdisea.se were nauseating drugs and worthless tonics. In some instances’they benefltted, hut the mprovement was not lasting. With Hyomei you take into the air passages of the throat and head a balsamic air that goes to the minutest cells, effectually killing all germs and microbes of catarrh. It enters the blood with oxygen, killing the germs in the blood, and restores health to the whole system. Many astonishing testimonials have txx-n received from those who have tx-en cured by Hyomei. A complete, outfit cost* hut SI.OO and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment. Perhaps the strongest evidence that can be given to doubters, is the I fact that The Holthouse Drug Co. i have so much faith in Hyomei that j they sell every package under a positive guarantee to refund the ' money if it does not cure. Now is the time to begin the use of Hyomei. Real Estate Transfers. Elizabeth Hart to'John N. Springre lot 220 Decatur SIOOO. Clement F. Green et al to A. 8. Kern pt lot 325 Geneva |BSO.

DRESDEN POLICE. fhey Are Permitted to Irupo.e Smail , Fine* on Oflenders. One advantage accrues to the respectable member of the community from i the minuteness with which the Dresden police look into the affairs of every ( inhabitant of the city, if he is a careful man and always carries papers ■ which may serve to establish b-'s idea- , tity lie is practically immune from the indignity of being arrested and marcbed off to the police station unless, in- . deed, be commits some especially hei- . nous crime. Does be drive faster than , the law permits, does be cross a bridge on the left hand side, he is stopped by , the guardian of law and order and requested to give bls name. If he bas his papers with him the policeman may , then and there impose a tine of from 1 to 3 marks. If then he admits that he is in the wrong and pays the fine the incident is closed. If. however, he , wishes to appeal from the policeman’s decision be may do so. Even in that case be is not arrested, but a day or two later be is notified to appear in court and answer to the charge against him. But then if he is found guilty the lowest fine that can be imposed , is 3 marks. That this custom of permitting the policeman personally to imj«ose small tines is little understood by foreigners is shown by a remark made to me by a gentleman who bad lived in Germany the greater part of bis life and in Dresden for a number of years. In reply to my inquiry as to whether ■ there was ever any question of corruption in the police department be replied: "No; none whatever as far as the higher officers are concerned. The individual men. however, may t>e bribed occasionally. For instance, if I were to walk on the grass in the Grosser garten and a policeman caught me at it I would give him a mark or two, and that would end the matter.”—Philadelphia Ledger. The Tailor Bird. The brilliantly plumed birds of the tropical forests are exposed to many dangers, and if they were not gifted with peculiar yet useful instincts they would fall ready victims to their enemies. Chattering monkeys and big snakes steal and eat their eggs, while their offspring are preyed upon by foes on every side. But it takes a sly monkey or snake to get ahead of the tailor bird, a small East Indian singing bird. She hides her nest so skillfully that her enemies cannot find it no matter how bard they try. This she does by using her long, slender bill as a needle. With the tough fiber of a parasite plant abundant in the tropics as a thread she sews a dead leaf taken from the ground to a living one near the end of a slender and banging branch, and between these leaves she builds her nest, where neither monkey nor snake can approach, because the branch will not bear their weight. The First Lexicographer. Dr. Johnson, even if we except his predecessor, Bailey, was not the father of lexicographers. In a volume issued by the historical manuscripts commission on manuscripts in the Welsh language it is stated that the idea of illustrating the meaning and correct use of words by actual quotations from the literature of a living language seems to have been first put in practice by Griffith Hlraetbog, the herald bard of Wales, who died iti 1564. It was not till the days of Dr. Johnson, 200 years later, that a similar idea took root in English soil. Au abbreviated copy of Griffith Hiraethog’s Welsh Dictionary was made by his pupil, William Llyn, between 1567 and 1573 and is now In the free library at Cardiff.—London Globe. Growth of the Human Heart. A scientific analysis of the growth of the human heart demonstrates the fact i that the increase is greatest anti most rapid during the first and second years of life, its bulk at the end of the second year being exactly double what It 1 originally was. Between the second and seventh years it is again doubled in size. A slower rate of growth then sets in and continues during the neriod of maturity of other portions ut the body. After the fifteenth year up to the tiftietli the annual growth of the heart is about .061 of a cubic inch, the increase ceasing about the fiftieth year. The DeliiKe. In .answer to a correspond.‘lit a newspaper says: "The deluge mentioned in ’ the Bible was threatened in the year 1756 B. C. and began on Dec. 7, 1656 B. C., and continued 377 days. The ark I rested on Mount Ararat on May 6, 1655, but Noah did not leave it until Dec. 18 following.” Any reader who imagines that it would lie an easy task to figure these details from a BildieaJ account can find a basis for his calculations in the seventh and eighth chapters of Genesis. An Elen Break. “Site's a girl after his own benrt, he says.” “Yes. and he’s a man after her money."

— CONSTANTINOPLE. It Han Perhaps the t Ine.t the For a City in <he World Constantinople looks much better ed ashore. The tourist who touches at the port remains on board and sees the ' tv Tn!' from the sea retains an em - different impression from that of o goes .shore. Seen from the fu; Seen from the shore. It Is the apotheosis of everything that Is filt.iy and f ml. ’ do not say that it to unworth. of a visit, but 1 do say that he who stays on board will take away a much more picturesque impression. The site of Constantinople is ideal There is probably no finer site for a city in the world. It is situate on the Bosporus, between the Mediterranean and the Black seas. It lies between Lurope and Asia, for Scutari is part of Constantinople, and Scutari Is on the ( Asiatic shore. It is cut off by natural boundaries into municipal fllvisions. for the Golden Horn divides Stamboul, the Mohammedan, from Galata. the Christian, city. So the Bosporus divides Scutari, the Asiatic, from Constantinople. the European, city; yet all of these places make one great city under tbe general name of Constantinople. Ami this great city is guarded also by nature. It lias the sea of Marmora close st hand, with fortifications at either end of this great water highway. rendering the city unassailable by sea. It has a peninsular conformation which also renders It. properly fortified. impregnable by land ns well as by sea. It is as if San Francisco were to hare batteries of heavy artillery all around her water front, from India basin to the presidio, from the presidio to Lake Merced and then across the neck of the peninsula from Lake Merced to India basin. With all these factors in its fuvor no wonder that Constantinople has always been looked upon as ar ideal site for a city That so many rr.ees should have battled over Byzantium for so many hundreds of years Is m>t surprising.—Argonaut.
