Domestic Science (Tub Had Good Meeting Last Saturday.

The meeting of the domestic science club at the library last Saturday was a very enjoyable and profitable one to all who attended it a£fej|&. interest in the club is gaining jßbund. The meeting was calle# to order by Mrs. A. P. Burton,* the president, and the minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs. W. S. Day. The meeting. was then pfit liito the hands of Miss McCheyne, of Purdue university, and her talk was very enthusing to all wh6 had the good fortune to hear it Miss McCheyne insists on progress in housekeeping and encouraged the club to discuss all phases of home making. As a means of getting best results she urged that the members study the different domestic science books in the public library. Another means of producing much good is by getting all young married women and single girls to attend the club meetings and for each to help the other-in overcoming the hard places in housekeeping. Miss McCheyne^ said that all should insist in talking plainly in a kind way, evidently meaning that there is a tendency to spare feelings some times by little deceits that should give place to perfect candor. The sensible woman would sooner that some fault in the home setting be kindly pointed out than that she be left in ignorance of it while her acquaintances, to her back, criticise it. Miss McCheyne said that some exhausted housekeepers do not know when or how to rest and said that they need instruction find can find it by a systematic arrangement of house work. The speaker insisted that all should learn how to do general cooking and that the club will do its best work when it gets the- interest of women and girls generally in the work of making healthful and happy homes. x The members pronounced th? address of Miss McCheyne a great inspiration to themselves and it is hoped to have her here again and to have a much larger attendance. In the meantime, it is hoped that many other women and girls will become members of the club.

Nothing Doing at Fargo; Off for Pacific Coast.

Attorney Honan and wife had a postal card this morning from their son Edward, Jr., who left home two weeks ago with Warren Chaffin. The card was sent from Fargo, N. Dak., and stated that they had found no steady, work and had decided to push onward to the westward with a view to reaching San Francisco. The boys are still together and enjoying themselves. Edward said he expected to get back home in time to enter school, but if they make the trip to the Golden Gate city it is hardly probable they will get back when school opens. The boys have a limited amount of -cash, but are just as happy apparently as though their pockets were lined with gold certificates.

Finest Cattle on Market Were From Jasper County.

One day last week R. A. Parkison had two car loads of cattle on the Chicago market They were even in size and of unifornd color and all 3-year-olds. They had been fed since the first of February and were a mighty fine lot of cattie and they took the eyes of the buyers in the Union Stock Yards and brought the top price on the Chicago market that day. One load brought 17.35 per hundred and the other |7.25. The market was pot so strong that day as it had been a few days before and most native cattle brought only |6.90. The price paid was a compliment to the feeding ability of the’shipper tyid was very gratifying to him.

SENIOR SENATOR OF MAINE DIED TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

Senator Frye, 40 Years a Public Servant, Passed Away at Home of Daughter In Lewiston. Lewiston, Maine, Aug. B.—The state of Maine lost its senior United States senator and an almost lifelong faithful servant when William Pierce Frye died today at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Helen White, in this city. The end came at 3:55 p. m. At his bedside were Mrs. White and his other daughter, Mb. Alice Briggs, who also resides in Lewiston. Although he had been ill for a long time, death came suddenly. Forced by the condition of his health to resign his position as president pro tempore of the senate at the beginning of the present special session of congress, although he retained his membership in the senate, Senator Frye soon afterward made his last journey to the city which always had been his home. For several weeks he rested in comparative comfort.

Thought Monon Had Grown; Fooled by Sign at Depot

Lafayette Journal. An incident so extremely amusing occurred yesterday afternoon that it cannot be passed by without a comment When the .2:10 Monon train going north arrived in the city, could be seen sitting calmly,in*the open observation at the rear of the train, reading a paper. Suddenly be arose, looked at the hugh sign, reading “Monon,** which has been recently placed at the depot, and made a harried exit from the train. He inquired the whereabouts of the leading hotel, made bis way to the Lahr house, set down his valise, bought a cigar strolled in Deschler’s cigar store, and finally took a position in front of the hotel, where he could see the sights. A short time later he engaged in conversation with a gentleman near him. “The town is uch larger than I credited it to be,’’ he said, “in fact I think the change nothing short of phenomenal. You know I was in your town .not over sik ears ago, and I wouldn’t kno_w the place.” “Well," said the other, “I don't think Lafayette has changed so very much in six years,” when to his surprise the other remarked, “I have never been to Lafayette, but the way this old town otMonon has improved gets me.” x* It is needless to say that an explanation followed, and the stranger, who had been-misled by the large depot sign reading “Monon,” was taught a lesson in observation and deduction that it will hard to forget. He boarded the early morning train to Monon, a sadder but wiser man.

NOTED FIN ANCIER DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS.

John W. Gates Died in Paris—One of Country's Shrewdest Speculators —Made Millions. Paris, Aug. 9.—John W. Gates, the American financier, died at 5:15 this morning in the arms of his wife and his son, Charles G. Gates. The end was peaceful and it seemed as though he was falling asleep. The usual restoratives failed in the last cribls. Others present at the bedside besides the members of the family were Drs. Gros and Reeves. His iron constitution and courageous resistance backed by every resource of medical science, failed to save Mr. Gates. He had battled herocially for weeks with a disease of the kidneys and when it was believed that he was almost sure to recover, contracted pneumonia. Tuesday night Mr. Gates suffered a general relapse and gradually sank until death intervened. Mrs. Gates and his son, Charles G. Gates, had been at the bedside constantly since Mr. Gatos’ illness was pronounced serious. An official statement issued by Doctors Gros fend Reeves says the immediate cause of death was heart failure, that the lungs stopped their functions and smothered the heart’s action. The end was painless. When Dr. Gros arrived he administered stimulants to which the patient at first rallied and an hour before his death he spoke strongly his son’s name. Then the pulse became feeble and restoratives were ineffectual. The death of John W. Gates in Paris removes in his prime one of the boldest and most successful American financiers, and a picturesque figure in the field of sports. Since 1880, when he organized the Southern Wire company, Mr. Gates had been a man with whom it was necessary to reckon in the particular industrial affairs to which he had given his attention. In recent years he found relaxation from business cares in becoming a prominent patron of the American turf. Mr. Gates began his business career as proprietor of a hardware store at Turner Junction, 111., near the farm where he was born in 1855. His parents were Asel A. and Mary Gates. At St. Charles, 111., in 1874, he married Dellora R. Baker, who with their son, Charles G. Gates, survives. The family had maintained a hbme in New York City for some years. From a hardware merchant Mr. Gates became interested in barbed wire, first as a salesman and later as a manufacturer at St. Louis. Following the Southern Wire company, he organized the Braddock (Pa.) Wire company, which in 1892 he combined with other wire concerns as the Consolidated

COULDN’T KEEP MARRIAGE A SECRET ANY LONGER.

Pnrdue Student Brings Bride of Two Months Home to Receive Blessings From His Mother. It happened on June 12th. The place is supposed to have been Lafayette. > The girls were two pretty sisters. This story, however, does not stop with “the time, the place and the girl.” There is another chapter, and a mighty important one. There were two Purdue students and a preacher and a determination to keep the steps they were taking a secret for a couple of years, during time the boys could complete their education. Only once in awhile can secrets of such importance be guarded for so long a time and the watchful mothers of the girls soon obtained a confession from them. The local Interest in the marriage is caused by the fact that one of the principals was James Jordan, son of Mrs. W. N. Jordan, of Barkley township, and a member of the 1909 graduating class of the Rensselaer high school. The other Purdue student was a chum of Jim’s from Dayton, Ohio, named Edward Frane, and the brides were respectively Martha and Eva Bender. Jim went to Lafayette some ten days ago, after spending the summer working on his mother’s farm, and it was decided to take his mother and family in on the secret So Jim came home and broke the news and Saturday his bride came here and was met by Jim and his mother and the maternal blessing was given. She will remain with her husband at the Jordan home until the fall term of the university, when they will return there, and he will enter the Junior year in the mechanical engineering department. Jim is one of our best boys, and his wife is a pretty little miss, and the surprise is that Jim would ever think for a moment of keeping secret his marriage to her. It looks like he would have been so happy that he would have wanted is known every place he went Much joy is the wish of his many friends in this county.- 1 Robert Buckell, of Oxford, England, will arrive in Terre Haute this week to visit friends of the days when he was a member of the Terre Haute city council and a leader in church and other affairs. Since then he has been lord mayor of his native city of Oxford and has been knighted.

Steel and Wire company. Six years later this was sold to the Federal Steel company. In 1897 he organized the American Steel and Wire company, now a subsidiary of the United States steel corporation.

Was Mute Solicitor a Fraud! Looks Very Much Like It.

Several weeks ago a magazine solicitor who was either a mute or played the part for business results, visited Rensselaer and took a large number of subscriptions for magazines. principally for Alnsiee’s and The Popular Magazine. So far as can be learned none of those who subscribed have received a copy. He gave receipts signed by Chas. S. Moore and the blanks used had the name of the Wilson Subscription Agency, Hartford. < Conn., printed on them. One young man wrote to the agency asking that the magazines be started to him without delay or that his money be refunded. He sent the letter to Hartford and today It was returned, marked "No such agency re* ceives mail at this office." The young man had invested 13.25 and it begins to look like he and others had been stung. It is doubtful policy to patronize traveling solicitors unless they show proper references. The home dealer in magazines can generally give just as good a rate as the traveling solicitors. A party of fishermen, acting under the direction of the fish commissioner, caught over eight hundred pounds of fish in the Wabash river east of Peru Saturday, and in the lot were only four carp. « *
