The Adams oounty statesmen who were part and parcel of the In diana general have male a good record during their legisla live career Their votes were always on the right side and their efforts in committee and upon the floor of the house and sensts wan always directed in behalf of a conscientious desire to protect the interests of those they were chosen to serve. While it is true that they were a pirt of a minority that was so small in number that it was hardly worth while to count, yet they and that minority exerteu a good influence and made their presence felt upon many an important ixioasions. We gladly commend the Adams oounty contingent for their faithful regard of. the peoples' rights. By order of the A lam 4 circuit court, Judge Richard K. Erwin, presiding. a public conflagration will I take place this evening, which may te witnessed without the foi-i raahty of a ticket o; ad uiss. >n. At the stated hour the Dewey i gamb.ing device will be confiscated through judicial orders. It is the ( first of such a rupng that ever cn.'nated from the bench of the Adams 1 circuit court, but there is much to , commend it. It is the worst form of gambling that exists, there not I even being the fairness that is attached to other games of chance. 1 Bat the worst discredit feature; against this lorm of gambling is that it is a teacher of the youth and excites them to practice an ' amusement that is corrupting in its influences and which his lead to the downfall of many men and | women who otherwise would have been hoLortd members of society and occupied prominent places in life.

BROKE AN ANKLE Mother of Attorney Sutton Had Bad Fall This Morning. Attorney Jesse Button this morning received a telephone message which stated that hia mother, Mrs W. 8. Sutton, of Geneva, had fal len in the yard and broken her ankle. Mrs. Button is fifty two years o|u, and her recovery will no doubt be slow. She is quite heavy, and that fact accounts for the serious result of the fall. She is well known here, having resided in the city seveial years.

THE AGE OF STARS. Color Ai-1* the Aitronomer In Mate lute Hl* Calculation*. Ab a star contracts from the surrounding nebulous matter from which It was thrown off Its temperature rises, and with this augmented heat occurs a change both in the star's spectrum and color. Redbot Iron is not nenrly so hot as white hot iron. By observing the various changes in tint which the meta! undergoes the foundryman is able to tell with considerable accuracy Its degree of heat. A somewhat similar method of gauging a star's temperature, and therefore Its age. is relied upon by the astronomer. Color, then, and spectroscopic analysis enable the astrono-. mer to estimate the age of orbs that are only beginning to exist as stars and others whose light Is fast fading. After having coagulated, as It were, from a nebulous mass, a star assumes a color that may be best described as an intense bluish white, much like that of the electric arc. Stars of that hue are, therefore, in their infamy. Then comes the white stage, followed by the yellow, orange and red. each succeeding hue Indicating greater celestial antiquity than the lust. Up to the yellow period the stur us it contracts grows hotter uud hotter. Then u gradual cooling takes place. Accompanying the changes in color are changes in the spectrum of the star—changes that in- . dicate a modification In physical structure. In the bluish white period of a star's Infancy the characteristic wide lines of hydrogen gas predominate In the spectrum. As the color changes , the lines of calcium, magnesium and Iron appear, the hydrogen lines gradually becoming thinner and ti.ose of calcium broader. — Booklovers Muguclue. Traffic In Hutnnii Ski .• The skin grafting exju-rtments which have been so successful of recent years have led to a new form of livelihood, which is fairly remunerative. Several of the London hospitals have on their books the names and addresses of many men and women wuo have undertaken to sell portions of their cuticle whenever the necessity arises, and it is said that quite a regular traffic Is now being done in the buying uud selling of human skin. The persons who •re willing to sacrifice their flesh for money are by no nivans confined to the poor and destitute clues.—Luudon Mall. A Water CandTratlett.
