Railroad Commission Asks Questions of Express Companies. Thirty-seven questions were propounded Thursday to each of the express companies doing business in Indiana by the Railroad Commission of Indiana. The questions touch practically every phase of the express business as it relates to interstate commerce. The questions were sent out as the second step in an investigation of the rates problem <n the state, started some time ago by the commission.' The questions cover every feature of the express business down to the smallest details. Methods of computing rates and the amount of business and revenues of each line are included in the questions. The commission has hired an expert to oversee the investigation, and clerks and experts paid for by the various companies will aid the commission’s supervisor in the inquiry.

CAN GET BIG CARNIVAL ATTRACTION IF WE WANT IT.

Company Will Came If We Want to Dig Up for a Big, Live Show, with Plenty of Attractions. J. H. S. Ellis came back from Chicago Friday night, where he had spent the day looking up attractions for the horse show. It happened that the Wright Carnival Co., the one that came to Rens, selaer a few years ago when the Knights of Pythias gave their first big carnival, was booked for the south side of Chicago for a month, beginning next Monday, and Mr. Ellis looked up Mr. Wright and had a talk with him. Mr. Wright says he has a bigger and better carnival, a whole lot, than he had when he visited Rensselaer. He plays the big cities, and gave Mr. Ellis no encouragatnent until Jim asked him to put a on his show for the horse show week. He did so, but it looks like it is too high a figure, although if *it could be reached there is no doubt but great crowds could be brought to Rensselaer and that they Would be well satisfied with the show. It is up to the people as to whether they want to get the Weights, or tackle something cheaper and not so good. The Wright people want a bonus of >I,OOO, and they will give back 50 per cent of the concession money and 15 per cent of all that is taken in at the doors of the various shows. They will give seven big free .attractions and have a lot of first class enclosed shows. Included among the free attractions is a woman’s band, which would give four free concerts each day. The Clarence Wilson volcart act, and the Mozdll electric act are two more of the shows. . The Philbin spiral tower is another of the shows and the Frank Duffy diving horses, May and June. The boxing kangaroos and Diving Cleo complete the free acts. Mr. Wright also wants the committee to do all of his advertising and to pay for the paper and to furnish the tickets. This would cost about >2OO, based on his figures for the lithographs. It is probable that about >4OO would come back to the committee from the privileges and the admission per cent. Mr. Ellis has received a number of letters from other concerns that are much cheaper and certain not to give the satisfaction. He has received lots of letters from free shows that want to contract, but has not received any proposals from pay attractions. The arrangements for the horse show proper are going on rapidly and farmers are taking a great amount of interest in the coming event. Programs have been printed and the large bills put out. Another bill setting forth the attractions will be put out as soon as the attractions are contracted.

Methodist Ladies' Industrial Society Had Enjoyable Picnic.

The ladies’ industrial society of the M. E. church had a picnic Friday at the H. E. Parkinson farm, northeast of town. From those who attended it, we learn that it was a most enjoyable event, being enlivened by a number of contests in which the ladies all took a great amount of interest. The reporter was unable to learn who all the winners of the various stunts were, but as far as we could learn, the results were as follows: 50-yard dash—Mrs. B. J. Moore; several of the starters fell down and were unable to recover from the handicap. Watermelon eating contest —Mrs. Jennie Wlshard. No other contestants even came close, although a number got water in their ears trying. Original poetry—Mrs. Henry Amsler and Mrs. W. H. Parkinson's efforts were declared of equal merit and both shared the honor of /being crowned poetess laureate. Making'most words out of “Hbosier” —Mrs. W. H. Parkinson, who made 2*. The Barkley township members were guests and shared in the enjoyment of the occasion. ■-The ladies do not believe in devoting any one day entirely to fun, and took time, to tack a comfort, which they sold to Mrs. Granville Moody. \

BIG FIRE LOSS OF NEWTON COUNTY RANCH.

Barn and 18 Head of Horses and Mules And 5,000 Bushels of Oats Destroyed Friday Evening. The old Kight ranch, one mile and a half west of Fair Oaks, and now the property of J. J. Lawler, of Chicago, was visited by a destructive fire Friday evening at about 7 o’clock, and a loss estimated at >8,500 resulted. The ranch is being managed by a farmer named George Williams. He was milkipg in the barn lot when he saw the fire and he ran into the barn and tried to save the horses and mules. He cut a number of the halters, but most of the animals refused to leave the barn, and it was so hot that Mr. Williams was compelled to give up his attempted rescue. Of nineteen head that were ln the barn, all but three were killed in the -fire. The barn was a large one and contained 5,000 bushels of oats and a quantity of hay, all of which was lost, as also was the harness. Mr. Lawler was in Rensselaer and was notified by telephone soon after the fire started. He procured Mike Kuboske to take him to the scene of the fire. When they arrived there the barn was in ruins. The barn and contents was insured for >5,000 in the Charles Steward agency, of Rensselaer.

Slight Changes In Several Trains Date From Sunday.

The faster time between Indianapolis and Chicago made by the “Hoosier Limited” has necessitated a slight change in the time of some of the Monon trains. The new schedule becomes effective Sunday, Aug. 27th. The evening trains will hereafter meet at Surrey instead of Rensselaer. No. 30 will reach here at 5:44 in the evening, or 14 minutes earlier than heretofore. It will be given a clear track, passing the milk train at Surrey. The southbound milk train is scheduled 4 minutes later than heretofore and is due at 6:02. No. 33, the southbound “Hoosier Limited,” Will leave Chicago at 12 o’clock and reach Rensselaer at 1:55, the fastest schedule between here and Chicago the Monon has ever adopted, and three minutes faster than the train it replaced. It will reach Indianapolis at 4:45, or 10 minutes less tipae than was heretofore required. The morning train for Chicago will hereafter leave Rensselaer at 4:53 instead of 4:59, and No. 38 in the afternoon will go at 2:48 instead of 2:53. The “Hoosier Limited” will have a schedule of 4 hours and 45 minutes each way between Chicago and Indianapolis, a distance of 183 miles. It will be a popular train, no doubt, between these two big cities, and the officials of the road have put on a very beautiful train with the aim to satisfy the demand for travel between these two important points.

Illinois and Indiana to Work Together In “Polio” Crusade.

Assurance that the Illinois Board of Health will co-operate with the Indiana authorities in the battle against infantile paralysis was given Thursday when the Indiana Board received information from the Illinois officials touching on the situation in that state. Practically no cases are extant in Illinois in the territory which formed the basis of the epidemic last year. The eastern side of the state this year is comparatively free from the disease, according to the information sent Indiana officials, while last year a broad band of “polio” extended through the counties which are near the Indiana border. Only two cases have been reported to the Illinois officials from the territory in question, both being in Will county, south of Chicago. Following out a line of investigation which, has been carried on by officials throughout the United States, the Illinois situation is analagous to that in many other states, said Dr. W. F. King, acting secretary of th'e Indiana board, Thursday. It has been believed for some time that where the epidemic appears it is likely to disappear the following year, while country contiguous to the epidemic suffers the following year. Thus Indiana officials believe that the present epidemic in this state is directly traceable to the many cases of the contagion which spread through eastern Illinois last summer. A new case of the disease was reported to the Health Board officials Thursday from Brookston. It makes five cases reported from that district since July 1. The map in the office of the state board shows that a total of forty-five cases of the disease has been reported since July 1. Three persons have died. The case reported Thursday was that of a boy 2% years old. The other cases in the county are divided between the regions Monticello and Wolcott.

Tortured For 15 Years

By a cure-defying stomach trouble that baffled all doctors, and resisted all remedies he tried, John W. Hodders, of Moddersville, Mich., seemed doomed. He had to sell his farm and give up work. His neighbors said, “He can’t live much longer.** “Whatever I ate, distressed me,*’ he wrote, “till I tried Electric Bitters, which worked such wonders for me that I can now eat things I could not take for years. It’s surely a grand remedy for stomach trouble.** Just as good for the liver and kidneys. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c at A. F. Long’s.
