Several fields of oats have been damaged some by the wind- but in all the recent rains have proved a great help\to the growing crops. During the Saturday evening storm, lightning struck the house where H. W. Smith lives, and did some damage in practically every room and also tore quite a hole in the brick flue, but fortunately did not Injure any member of the family who were all in the house when the flash came. The old saying that lightning never strikes twice in the same place is considerably discredited in this case, as it has not been more than a year since the same house was struck. „ _

Obituary of William E. Moore.

William Ellis Moore, son of William and Jincy Minter Moore, was born to Randolph county, Indiana, on the Btb. day of January, 1827, and died at his home in Rensselaer, Indiana, July 7, 1912, at the age of 85 years and 6 months. His parents came from Virginia to Indiana when it was practically a wilderness. After his marriage, William came to Jasper county under similar conditions, settling here when the county was undeveloped, thus spending a great part of his life as a pion'eer. Laboring under these conditions, he developed a strong, self-reliant, rugged character. In early life he had a great desire to acquire an education, and by great industry and economy of time, using the meager and limited opportunities presented, he was able to Accomplish much and fitted himself for a competent and successful business life. On March 18, 1847, he was married to Dianah Evans, of Wayne county, Indiana, .who shared with him the joys and sorrows of life for 57 years. She preceded him to the better world eight years ago. This was the first break in the family-circle, but his home has remained intact for over 64 years. To this union seven children were born, all of whom are living except the eldest child, Franklin, who died five years ago. The living children are Melissa Morgan and Mary Ellen Yeoman, of Kingman, Kans.; Wm. J. Moore, of Sedalia, Iowa; Martha Paxton, of South Bend; MjJvina Parkison and Austin Moore, of Rensselaer. Mr. Moore united with the Methodist church over sixty years ago and has remained faithful until death. He has filled about all the 'offices in the church: superintendent of Sunday school, teaching, class leader, trustee and steward. During the construction of the church in 1888 and 1889 he was on-the building committee. Mr. Moore was conversant on many subjects, had ■an excellent memory and was entertaining in conversation. Besides the children named he leaves 23 grandchildren and 15 greatgrandchildren, ofle sister and two brothers and many other relatives to mourn his departure. Among the relatives and friends out of town who attended the funeral of Mr. Moore were Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Yeoman, Kingman, Kans.; Mr. and Mrs. Will Moore and daughter, Coral, Laurens, la.; Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Paxton and daughter, Virginia, South Bend, Ind.; Mrs. Rebecca McProud and daughter, Mrs. Wolfe, of Farmland, Ind.; Walter Stevens, Farmland, Ind.; - Mrs. Alice Pierce, Caldwell, Kans.; Mrs. Nellie Hanscome, Lawrence, Kans.; Mrs. Elizabeth Hamilton, Mrs. Ivy Mueller, Frank Moore, Jr., and Mr. Harry Needham, Indianapolis; Mrs. Clare Berry, Muncie, Ind.; Sila Kennedy, Logansport, Ind.; Mr. Abbey, Colburn, Ind.

The Real Cause of the Tribune’s Opposition to Taft.

Lake County Times. A - wants to know why the Chicago Tribune, which poses as a republican paper, is fighting President Taft now when it has not always fought him. There are two reasons. Medill McCormick, one of the Tribune’s largest stockholders, wanted an ambassadorship when Mr. Taft was first elected. He wanted it badly, and the president could not see it that way. Then McCormick’s paper started to abuse Mr. Taft instead of praising him as it had in the past. Then Dan Hanna, McCormick’s brother-in-law, was indicted in connection with the prosecution of certain trust cases. This made McCormack as sore as a bear with a thorn in his paw. S 6 now the Trtbune is working for Mr. Roosevelt who has doubtless promised McCormick that ambassadorship if he wins. McCormick’s grudge is personal. He cares nothing for the people or for Roosevelt.

CHILDREN SOLD AS SLAVES

Annual Fair Is Held at Frledrtchahafen to Loan Boya and Girla to Farmer*. v* . ■■' Friedrlchshafen. —A strange custom prevails In the Tyrolese Alps. Landloss parents sell their children for the summer season to tbe largest landowner, the sales being effected at an annual fair held at Frledrichshafen, on the Lake of Constance, at Easter time. Thiß year 125 boys and 30 girls, between the ages qf eleven and sixteen years, were offered. Purchasers were net lacking, about 600 peasant farmers from Baden, Wurttemberg, and Bayaria bad come to get child-slaves to work on their farms. The purchasers

behaved exactly as at the cattle market, scrutinizing the hoys and girls, sometimes feeling their biceps, and then making an offer to the person in charge of the party. Owing to the demand this year being so much greater than the supply, the prices ruled high, {60 -being given for a sturdy lad of sixteen, big enough to wield the hayfork or a scythe effectively, while {SO was given for one of the older girls who looked as if she could do a long day’s weeding in the sun. One the other hand, {l2 waß considered enough for little, underfed miteß of eleven, who ought to have been at school. The money, of course, goes to the children’s parents, landless men in the remoter valleys of Tyrol, woodsmen and the like, who, one would be glad to believe, are driven by sheer destitution to send their children to work for strangers in a foreign country. The child slaves are sent home at the end of October —all, that Is, but some who succumb to overwork, ill-treat-ment, and home-sickness. That the children are not always well treated is well known, but a black-list is kept, and an offender has a poor chance of making a purchase thereafter. The whole business of the childmarket, which Is of great antiquity, is now arranged by a clerical society, the activity of which Is violently attacked by part of the local press, which demandß its suppression.

When he left here he was especially Interested in the country surrounding Bakersfield, Cal., but when he got there and looked over the country, he was greatly disappointed.

As a whole, it made a very strong appeal and a 20-acre fruit ranch looked especially good to him. Mr. Allman Is looking with much favor on that locality but probably will not decide on a permanent location until he returns hpme and consults with his family.
