A NOVEL GAME.

Counters Placed on Spinning Top Throw It Into Divisions. A game that is vastly more complicated than appears at first glance Is that designed by a Connecticut man and depicted in the illustration. A board is divided into a number of comoartments, some marked with plus

and other with numbers. A top with a broad, flat head and a stem high above It is spun on the board and counters of different numbers and with perforations of different diameters are thrown over toe stem of the top. The course of the latter Is affected by these counters according to the diameter of the perforations. If a counter marked 10, for instance, is thrown on the top and the latter falls Into the compartment marked “Add 25," 35 is added to the player’s score. If the top stops In the compartment marked "Back 25,’’ the player goes back 35 points. While the element of luck is prominent in this game, a great deal may depend on the wisdom shown in the use of counters which may deflect or atop the top’s course.

INITIATING MACHINE.

Neophyte Spanked and Doused wttti Water When He Pulls Lever. A machine that will initiate now members of secret societies while the old members can sit hack and enjoy the fun has been designedly a Pennsylvania man. One of the best featr urea of the device, too, is that the neophyte really initiates himself, all unconsciously. A platform has a pair of handles sticking up from one end and a dial to give the apparatus the appearance of being a muscle machine. The neophyte, who is probably thinly clad, is told that his strength is to be tested, and stepping on the platform he stoops, grasps

New Member Initiates Himself, the bandies and pulls with all his might. The pulling of the handles releases a concealed paddle in the platform, and this paddle, actuated by a powerful spring, flieS upward and whales the surprised victim "in the most appropriate part of his anatomy. At the same time another lever presses on the bulb of a syringe concealed in the front of the platform and a stream of water Is projected into the neophyte’s faoe, thus bewildering him with a front and rear attack. —Newark Call.

Singing Nobleman Not Tempted.

It has been reported that the earl of Shaftesbury has been invited to go on the American music hall stage at the modest salary of 55,000 a week. This beats Harry Lauder. It is the largest salary ever offered to an amateur or even to an earl. Lots of the English nobility have found their way to the footlights, but few have possessed the qualifications of the young earl of Shaftesbury, whose fine tenor voice entitles him to recognition and

big pay. Of course, th* fact of being entertained by a real live lord should count on the playbfDs. Though his lordship has at present * declined the flattering offer of a 30-weeks’ engagement in America at the sum named, it is just possible that he may reconsider his decision.

Novel Lightning Arrester.

A novel lightning arrester for telegraph and telephone train dispatching circuits has recently been devised. In place of ustng an air gap, a block of carborundum is employed, which furnishes enough resistance to prevent leakage of the current under'normal conditions, but allows charges induced by lightning to pass freely to the ground. These lightning arresters have been found to prevent the clicks commonly produced by static chargee.

A Little From the Other Side On the Fare Question.

I had hot intended to have any : thing to say in this railroad rate matter, but the figures given in The Republican last night seem to call for some consideration from he other side. Mr. Cockrell, according to the article published last night claims that “Seventeen of the principal railroads operating In and through the state of Indiana had invested in their properties during the last fiscal year $875,609,735.” This, I assume, means for improvements reuired by law, because the article is dealing with the extra burdens imposed by legislative enactments and asking for our support to secure a repeal of some of these enactments.* He says further, “The operating expenses, taxes and interest were $175,417,706.” This added to the $875,609,755 make a grand total of expenditure of $1,051,027,441. To offset this tremendous outlay he that there were gross receipts of only $163,190,337, which would leave a total deficit of $887,837,104. This sum divided equally between the seventeen roads alluded to would mean a net loss to each of $52,223,947. That is a tremendous loss for one year’s smrk. But let us look at ,the figures once more. The gross receipts are said to be $163,190,337 for these same seventeen roads; while, the operating expenses, taxes and interest amount to $175,417,706. According to those figures the receipts did- not cover the operating expenses by $12,227,369. I do not want to question the veracity of Mr. Cockrell, yet I feel sure that there is something wrong with those figures, otherwise those seventeen roads ought to he in the hands of receivers. If it is true that the railroads of, the country are suffering financial losses that run up into millions annually and that those losses are due to legislation enacted by Indiana and a few other states, then surely those states ought to come to their relief by enacting more equitable laws. The laws on the subject as we have them are the result of public demand and for that demand the railroads themselves are largely responsible. The sharp competition between rival roads led to a great many abuses. Cut rates between common terminal

points and extortionate rates between points where there was no competition, until the public demanded uniform rates. Then, too, the roads themselves are responsible for the two cent rate. The New York Central voluntarily reduced its 'ate to 2 cents, the Pennsylvania system followed, as did the Lehigh Valley and others. The low excursion rates to pleasure resorts, the vast number of free passes issued and. reduced rates on 1000 mile tickets led the public to believe that the fellow who paid more than 2 cents per mile was being cheated, or compelled to pay the traveling expense of some railroad dead-head. If the roads will play fair with the public I know the public will play fair with them. The interstate commerce commission was appointed because the roads would not play fair and the laws against which the. roads now complain were enacted because the roads play fair. Let us have the facts and fair play.

Mis. Hattie Pierson returned to Chicago today after a short visit with Emmet Phljins and family. The Delphi high school basketball team is playing the locals at the high school gymnasium this afternoon. Coach Parker has his proteges in fine fettle for the game and confidence reigns in the camp of the locals* and followers of the team are pulling for a large score over the Cerrollites. The locals lineup with their .second team, Rhoades, Healy, Warren, Carl Eigelsbaeh and Worland starting the game, and the first team, consisting of Will Eigelsbaeh, Curnick, English, Babcock and Walker will go in whenever it seems timely. The subs will be allowed to go through the first half if it looks as though they are able to make a good ac<*ount of themselves, the regulars taking the last half.

Bloomington seems at last-to have solved' their water problem, whiclj' has caused a great deal of inconvenience to the people for several years. Until the last few days the water has been available ’only every other day. The people were forced to get a supply on days that the water could-be had to last them for two days. A new $60,,p00 dam has been" built. The dam has collected a large amount of water and seems to be holding it very satisfactorily, and the supply has been getting constantly larger. Members of the geological department of Indiana University have inspected the dam and estimate that the springs are running about 800,000 gallons a day, Bloomington citizen ts are rejoicing that the waj&r situation has adjusted itself in such a satisfactory, manner. The talk of merging Indiana University and Purdue and placing the state Lafayette will probably be dropped now that the water supply is better at Bloomington.

Want to Find a Home For The Motherless Krout Baby,

Joseph Kosta, on whose farm the deplorable accidental shooting of Mrs. H, 8. Krout took place, was in town Tuesday and Informed .the editor of The Republican that Mr. Kroqt was unable to take care of the 7-month-old girl baby left motherless by the accident and that he desired to find a home for the little one. Mr. Kosta says that the baby is a plump little thing and perfectly healthy and that rather than see it fail to secure a good home himself and wife will take It along with their large family and do the best they can for it. Mr. Kosta and wife already have a little baby in their home and .certainly this spirit of sacrifice is commendable, but it should not he necessary, as there should be some home in which the little one would find a cordial welcome. The pairents of the child are said to be good morally and honest. These qualities should be sufficient to recommend the unfortunate babe to a good home.
