Militant Sufferagette is Again a Hunger-Striking Prisoner in a London Jail. Mrs. Emmeline Fankhurst is once more a prisbner in a jail in London. She was arrested and thrown into the'Holloway jail in that city and at once entered on a “hunger strike.” It is presumed that she will secure release within a few days. She was arrested in Glasgow and to avoid a large crowd of sufferagettes who awaited her return to London the train that carried her was stopped on the outskirts of the city and she was then taken by auto to the jail, where many sufferagettes awaited her, but the police succeeded in preventing any effort to secure her release.

MONON HAS RIGHT IF COURT APPROVES

Public Service Commission Sees No Objection to Monon Buying The Gifford Railroad. The Public Service Commission of Indiana will interpose no objection to the purchase of the Gifford railroad by the Monon railroad. That was the decision rendered Tuesday, which amounts to the opinion that there was no stifling of competition by the purchase and that it was in no manner in violation of the" state commerce laws. Attorney Kurrie, who made the offer for the Monon, to give $95,000 for the road, was notified in Chicago, and he communicated with Attorney Moses Leopold, for the estate and it Is quite certain that the Monon will make the claim that it is entitled to the road by the terms of the option signed two weeks ago. In the meantime T. S. Roberts, president of the projected interurban, who had made a bid of $9,500 higher than the bid of the Monon, is in Chicago, where he went with the presumed intention of securing more money to put up as a forfeit based upon- his good faith and ability to comply with the terms of purchase. The Republican learns that Mr. Roberts Tuesday telephoned to Attorney Dunlap, stating that he had been told by Judge Hanley, who i® in Kentland, that any amount of money which Executor Gifford- was willing to accept would be sufficient as a guarantee. A telegram came for Mr. Gifford and is in possession of Attorney Leopold, unopened. It is understood thfft Judge Hanley had given Mr. Roberts until today (Wednesday) to raise the money for the purchase and that he will come from Kentland this evening to see what has been done. Presumably if Mr. Roberts does not appear with the money and if there is no other proposition on file that looks substantial, the sale to the Monon will be given the approval of the court The Indianapolis Star states that the Monon Will use the road to relieve traffic congestion on its road. This plan will insure the extension of the road to the north this year, making a connection with the Monon railroad at some point probably near St. John. It Will prove a great step toward the development of the Gifford country. From the standpoint of Rensselaer’s interests, it would be better if Mr. Roberts bought the road, provided he connected the pro.posed road through this city with it. The purchase in either instance will give Executor Gifford money to pay off a number of troublesome debts and greatly advance the settlement of the GiffoM estate.

North Vernon Telephone Plant is Not City Owned.

The Republican was not correct about the North Vernon telephone "plant being municipally owned. Evidently a misunderstanding of a question which we had asked was misunderstood bv the person who received our letter. The reply stated that the plant was municipally owned. It referred, however, to the electric light and water plant, which are owned by the city of North Vernon, but about which no question was asked. A letter which O. P. Wright received in reply to an inquiry about the telephone business in North Vernon, stated that the rates were $2 per month for business phones and $1 per month for residence phones, the same rates which are supposed to prevail in Rensselaer and do except for the fact that the users of the automaphones pay 50 cents additional each month for “better service”

RULES OF HEALTH; POST CoNSPICIOUSLY

Printers Ask Public to Encourage Adoption of Suggestions Conductive to Health. Probably of all the organized labor unions none have exceeded in the good accomplished by that of the printers’ union, or correctly named, the typographical union. Temperately disposed it has always met the employer on fair ground and has not only dignified its own members but has had a great influence in aiding other unions to a higher standing. Probably the greatest tuberculosis hospital in the United States is that maintained by the printers in Colorado and the appended hints for health have recently been promulgated by the union and all are asked to adopt them and to encourage others to do so. Cut these out and paste them up where they can be frequently referred to. _______ Hints For Health. Keep dean. Live a regular life. Get plenty of sleep. Keep your teeth clean and in good order.— Wear clean dothes and keep the feet dry. Always wash your hands and face before meals. If you wear custom-made dothes, be_ particular to learn where and by Whom the dothes are made—the Character of the workroom—and whether or not the workers are clean. Do not wear clothes made in a dark, dirty workroom or by unclean hands. The union label is the best guaranty of cleanliness. Bathe frequently; if possible every morning. A warm bath with soap one or twice a week is desirable, with a cold bath every morning, followed by a rubdown with a course towel. Practice deep breathing regularly. Each morning when you get up, take twelve deep, long, full breaths, and the same before you retire at night. During the day, whenever you have opportunity to go to a door or window, or go out of doors, practice deep breathing. Do- not breathe through the mouth. Do not practice deep breathing indoors. Join the “anti-spit” crusade. Avoid mouth breathing. Breathe through your nose. Do not moisten your finger or thumb with your tongue when you turn the leaves of a book or handle money or papers. Do not bite a chew of tobacco from another man’s plug, and do not permit others to bite yours. Do not be afraid of the fresh air. Become an “open air crank.” Live out of doors as much as possible. "Find all your recreation in the open air. Walk two or three miles daily, If it does not overtire you. If possible, make it a point to take at least two weeks off each year and spend them in the open sir, day and night. Insist upon cleanliness in your surroundings, whether in home, office, shop or factory. Tuberculosis thrives upon dirt. Do not patronize slovenly storekeepers or dirty stores. “Knock” the dirty store and dirty storekeeper—knock hard; knock persistently’.

Huerta Must Punish The Slayers of Vergara.

Secretary Bryan has informed Huerta that he must sec that the murderers of Clemente Vergara, the Texas ranger whose body was mysteriously brought to the American side of the border, must be punished. This is the nearest act of recognition this country has given to Huerta’s government since he caused the assassination of Madero and assumed the presidency. There is to be no complication because the body of Vergara was restored to his widow on this side of the border. It was not performed by Texas rangers as at first reported but was an act of individuals who were rewarded by Vergara’s widow. F. T. Cromwell, a mining man from Vancouver, B. C., is reported missing from Sonora, Mex., since last December. He Is wealthy and an investigation is to he made.
