Marble, whose father, Horace Marble, recently died, sent $lO, his father having asked him to do so before his ar death. He stated that his father was well acquainted with General Milroy and admired him very much. William Hoover, Sr., who had previously contributed $2, gave $8 more, making hia total subscription $lO. Judge C. W. Hanley gave $5. The following subscriptions were also received: William J. Swisher, Redkey ... SI.OO Mrs. G. Byers, Wheatfield 1.00 J. R. Guild, Medaryville .....; 5.00 L. V.

Money sent to the committee has not been acknowledged in any other way, however, owing to the expense involved and the time required. The assistance was greatly appreciated and the libr eral response of former Jasper county people has made the erection of the monument possible. The monument will stand fpr years a credit to all who contributed to it as well as an ap-

Census Figures Show Rapid Growth in Interurban Railroads.

The remarkable developement of electric railroad lines in Indiana is clearly seen from the. statistics compiled by the census bureau, which were made public today. The statistics cover the five years between 1901 and 1907—an area of great interurban expansion in the United States. Concerning the developement in various states the census bureau says: “The greatest actual increase in the new trackage in any state reported was Ohio, the increase amounting to 1,337.36 miles. The next largest increases were in Indiana with 1,272.15 miles; Pennsylvania with 1,184.39 miles; Illinois with 1,096.15 miles, and New York, with 1,011.29 miles. The largest relative gain occurred in Idaho, where the track increased from 3.50 miles in 1902 to 73.09 miles in 1907, or 1,988.3 per cent. The smallest actual increase—three miles—was reported by South Dakota, while the lowest rate of Increase Is shown by the District of Columbia and Montana. “The large gains in the mileage of track in Ohio, Indiana, California and Illinois can be credited mainly to development of interurban lines, while the increase in Pennsylvania and New York are due to the growth of both urban and interurban lines.”

Z. T. Sweeney Burned Mile of Confiscated Seins.

The Rev. Z. T. Sweeney, of Columbus, who recently retired as state Fish and Game commissioner, has burned one mile of seins. From time to time the last several years, seins have been confiscated by his orders. In numerous cases there would be no order of the court to destroy these seins after their owners had been disposed of, so the nets were simply stored by the commissioner. The seins accumulaicd until Mr. Sweeney says they would have been a mile long had they been placed end to end. When he turned his office over to Geo. W. Miles, the new commissioner, he asked what should be done with the old seins and Commissioner Miles directed him to burn them. Some of the seins had been used for flhhing in the Ohio and Wabash rivers and were valuable.

propriate memorial to the brave sons of Jasper county who gave so for the preservation of the union That it will contain the names of all the soldiers who went out from Jasper county is a matter of pride with all. It was Mrs.- Thompson’s suggestion and looked like a tremendous proposition but it is to be accomplished and the cheerful aid of relatives of the soldiers has been a constant encouragement to those who were helping in the movement

FIGHT BULLETINS RECEIVED BY PRIVATE WIRE.

Western Union Issues Statement That Pursuing New Policy No Sporting Bulletins Will Be Furnished. / » The Western Union Telegraph company, wishing to respect w.hat it conceives to be the sentiment of the public w|th. regard to prize fights and similar sporting 'events, decided not to furnish any telegraphic news on the Jeffries-Johnson fight at Reno July Fourth. , The departure of the company from its old idea is due solely to its desire to conform to what it thinks is the moral sentiment of the American public. Its position, as outlined today, that the people have reached the conclusion that such events are not proper, and that its judge, court and jury is the public in all matters of service. S. M. Williams of the executive Aaff of the company/said when asked about the new order of things: “We have simply quit the sporting business; that is .all there is to the matter. There was a time when the company supplied racing news, and the people of the state and country decided that it was not the proper thing to do. We quit it. This year we are not going to sell any prize fight information, and we believe that we are merely responding to the judg ment of the public.” Nothwithstanding the new rule of the Western Union, the ‘ bulletins of the fight will be received in Rensselaer unless plans miscarry. An effort is being made to receive the bulletins over the private wires of L. J. Swabacber & Co., and in case this fails some other means will be devised to secure the bulletins. They will be displayed at the armory as the figbt progresses at Reno. An admission of 25 cents will be charged to defray the expenses of the operator and messengers.

Hicks Says This Month is To Be Hot and Dry.

Sweltering heat spells, rain and wind storms with a few tornadoes and earthquakes thrown in is the way Parson Irl L. Hicks, the St. Louis weather prophet has the month of July guessed. July 4th is to be the center of first great heat wave and storm of the month. Here is the way he has it fixed up for us: A regular storm period is central on July 4th, covering from the 2nd to 7th. At the beginning of this period look for decided rise of temperature and fall of barometer beginning in the west and gradually moving eastward, growing into a great warm wave and on the 4th, sth and 6th by vicious storms of thunder, wind, rain, and possibly hail and local tornadoes. The indications are for some vivid celestial fireworks on the “Glorious Fourth.” Earthquake regions in the northern hemisphere will be under great sesmic strain during this period. Cooler weather will follow. A reactionary storm covers the 9th to 11th but may center on the 12th, the date of the moon’s passage across the equator. Westerly wiitds, rising barometer and cooler should, naturally follow this period. , The second storm period runs from the 14th to 19th, central on the 16th. About the 16th, 17th and 18th blustering thunder clouds with heavy showers and wind will reach many localities in the sweep from west to east. With a full moon at its center a reactipnary storm period will follow on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd attended by excessive warmth. i The last regular storm period of the month extends from the 25th to 30th, central on the 27th. Throughout this period the moon will be outrunning the earth and approaching nearer to us, swinging from the equator northward, hence a great warm wave will be natural during this period, increasing in extent and intensity day by day. Storms of rain, wind and thunder may also be expected, all reaching a general culmination on and about the 30th, however, a great drouth may be felt the latter part of July and through August into September.
