A rumor to the effect that Buick automobiles had made radical cuts in the prices of all cars caused the local agent, C. C. Shamberlin, to make a trip to Chicago Wednesday to investigate. He found that the reduction was much less than rumored here, where it had been rumored that the prices on all cars had been cut in half. It is thought possible that a big reduction on all cars will occur this fall, but the automobile men are arguing that .this will not be the case. The J. I. Case sulky plow is sold by Maines & Hamilton.

Prairie chickens are becoming quite numerous once more, showing the good effect of the law enacted for their protection. Large flocks of prairie chickens frequently are seen now, reminding old settlers of the days when these beautiful birds were here by the thousands.—Francesville Tribune,

What is thought to be the Indiana high record and perhaps the high mark for the world on the yield of oats per acre was made in Clinton county. A nine-acre field on the Nellie Dill farm, four miles east of Frankfort, produced 801 bushels of No. 1 grain, an average of eighty-nine bushels to the acre.— Francesville Tribune. Charley Odom was in town Saturday, with his new four cylinder Rambler touring car, which he just brought home from the factory at Kenosha, Wisconsin. It is a sixty horse power machine, equipped with the latest mechanical ingenuity including a system of incandescent lights. His 1908 car was taken in on the deal. —Francesville Tribune. Mrs. J. P. Green, wife of the pastor of the Baptist Church, has returned from her visit to her sister, Mrs. W. M. Rishel, of Emporia, Kansas. She was there for over a month, and during that time that part of the state was visited by the hot winds, and she says that, as a result, the leaves are falling from the trees as they do in the fall after a heavy frost.

The county commissioners ordered County Auditor Rees and Attorney Dukes to run over the allowances made to the Winamac Bridge company from the year 1900 to the present date. From their report to the board at the August regular session it is found that the company had overdrawn during that term of years SB,OOO. It should be added, however, that the Winamac Bridge company had finished contracts that had been bid off by other companies, the home company drawing pay for the same.— Winamac Democrat-Journal. Marshal George Mustard has been hustling the clean-up proposition very commendably and has requested alf property owners in the business section to do their part. They have cheerfully responded by offering to cooperate with him and have suited action to their words by starting in. Considerable Improvement has been made in a few days and after the business center is cleaned Mr. Mustard Intends to visit all the resident sections and ask the same response that he is meeting in the business district. Weeds along curbs and in the alleys and yards should all be cut and the marshal says he will do his part if the people will do their’s. “A cleaner Rensselaer; is the hope.

ABOUT TWELVE HUNDRED HEARD SENATOR DOLLIVER.

lowan Mildly Insurgent and Optimistic Delivers One of Ablest Speeches Ever Heard in County. Senator Dolliver don’t think that the United States has gone to the perdition bow wows, and he don’t think that because there have been exposures of graft and corruption that everything is wrong. He looks to the future with optimistic views and considers the exposures of the present an assurance that the people are standing together as they have never stood together before for righteous government, the exposure of everything that is wrong and the greatest precaution in the selection of men of true worth for positions of trust. In a masterful speech that lasted almost two hours at Fountain Park Thursday afternoon he held an audience of obout 1,200 in wrapt attention. Senator Dolliver did not make an out and out Insurgent speech and yet, carefully considered, it might be considered insurgent throughout, for in every respect.it met up with his hopes Of purification in public and private life and the quickening of the national conscience in all matters of right and justice.

Senator Dolliver introduced hip remarks by saying: “I am not here to introduce contention either theological or political, but to talk to you about some things of which I have been thinking about a good deal and about which you doubtless have been hearing and reading about a great deal, and I want to be frank enough to say that I do not care whether you agree with me or not. There 4s abroad in this land a sort of depression of mind and heart, as people look at the difficulties that surround us as we try to find our way out ot the wilderness and they think there l is a treason against general welfare greater than the forces that work for the common good, but they are wrong and I do not believe that any person has lost faith and that considers everything unclean and dishonest can render any real service to his day and generation. They are mistaken about the matter and the evil things they think they see are the best evidence that there was never a reriod when there was more cause for encouragement and good cheer than there is today. I {have been thinking that Alexis de Tocqueville, the French statesman and publicist, who visited America for several months and spent most of his time at the dinner table, is probably responsible for the unfavorable comparison that some people of this period make between conditions how" and in 1835. Tocqueville returned to France and wrote a book that claimed that the United States had an absolutely honest government, with officials throughout that had naught but the public welfare at heart, absolutely honest and returning faithful service as a patriotic duty at small salaries. I want to show to you today that Tocqueville was deceived and that his work is a deception to all who read it, for, having some doubt as to the credulity of his work, I have made some investigations on my own behalf that leads me to believe that the government is purer today than it ever was before and that the people propose to make it better yet. I went to the office of the secretary of the treasury and asked permission to consult some of the public documents of that period about which Tocqueville wrote proclaiming a period of moral perfection. At that time the land office was managed by the secretary of the treasury or through that office and I had not spent two hours there when I found Just what I wanted, positive proof of the worst sort of corruption in 1835. A special commission had been appointed to look up all defalcations in the land office and this commission had reported in this document, which I am going to read, in relation to one of the receivers for the land office. The report says: ‘The books of the receiver indicate a defalcation of >264,000, while the receiver seems to admit a shortage of $253,960. This man seems to have been led astray by the example of his predecessor and he seems really penitent. A certain looseness in the code of morality of the time doubtless con-

Morrison Fined for Provocation; Healey Arrested for Assault.

City Marshal Mustard made affidavits against W. H. Morrison, charging him with provocation to commit an assault. Morrison plead guilty to the charge against him and was fined $1 and costs, amounting to $9.10, which he paid. Mr. Healey will stand trial, claiming that his action was entirely in self-defense. The case will come up before Squire Irwin this afternoon at 4 o’clock. Farmers and laboring men should not fail to try the Barnyard shoe. They are a comfortable, durable shoe.
