JASPER COUNTY IN MODIFIED AREA

Stock May Bo Shippod for Inter state and Foreign Movement Without Any Inspection.

Good news for the stockmen was received by Dr. H- J- Kannal Tuesday, when Jasper county was placed In the modified area from the quarantine that was established several weeks ago. Inspections are no longer necessary and cattle, etc., may be Shipped to any pa«rt of the country. The Chicago yards, however, are still under quarantine against reSh fpm ent and this is regarded as the chief cause of prices remaining low. It is probable that complete restoration of business there will be retarded for some time, as the foot and mouth disease still exists in some parts of Illinois. The order which Dr. Kannal has been authorized to make is as follows: Notice to transportation companies and interested persons in Jasper county, IndianaJasper county is now known as a modified area-

This permits the interstate and foreign movement of cattle, sheep, other .ruminants, and swine for immediate slaughter without mspectipn. Also interstate and foreign movement of dressed carcasses of such animals, the hides, skins, wool, hair and hoofs of such animals, and hay, straw or similar fodder, manure, or litter is permitted without any restrictions whatever.

At the annual dinner of the republican editors in Indianapolis ast week Hon. Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican state committee; made an address that puts him in the class of the Hoosier statesmen, and confirms our prevously expressed opinion that he is the man the republicans should name and the people elect as the next United States senator frdm Indiana. His address was to some extent omplimentary of the work of republican editors during the last campaign and he expressed limsielf as a great (believer in “the power of the press,” saying that ibe individual of the institution that does not recognize the fact is unaware of the influences that control the present- He then followed with the statement that the country is controlled by public opinion and that the press is the supreme agency in formulating opinon. He said: “Its freedom is as vital for the preservation of our institutions as air is to life. Perverted, it would have more potentiality for political evil than all other influences combined, but ‘standing on the heights, fighting for humanity, the newspapers of the country are the nation’s greatest benefaction. Great, great power is yours, men; use it well. To him that mu'h is given, much is required. By our opportunities are our responsibilities measured. It is the ‘fiat of fate,’ and if there is any advice that I would like to give to the editors of the state and nation, republican, independent and democratic, which, if followed, would in my opinion carry them farthest toward the full discharge of their high duty, it js that they advocate republican principles all of the time.” IMr- Hays paid high tribute to William McKinley and to William Penn Nixon, who as editor of the Chicago Inter-Ocean preached the doctrine of protection so earnestlyHe quoted McKinley as saying that Mr. Nixon did more than any other agency to make him president of the United States. In every'respect Mir. Hays’ address was patriotic, forward looking and brilliant It was the address of a statesman. We believe he is the man for the United States senate.

TEACHER ASSAULTED BY ANGRY PATRON

Affidavit in Circuit Court Chargee Henry McColly With Choking Miss Lulu Nelson.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Sands, based upon Information secured by telephone, has filed an affidavit against Henry McColly, of Kankakee township, charging him with assault and battery on Miss Lulu Nelson, teacher of the Dahncke school in Kankakee township. Hhe report that reaches this office is to the effect that McColly has been a very unruly school patron and has caused trouble for some time with the trustee and the school teacher. Last fall Trustee John Shirer purchased books for the McColly children, accodring to report, because their father w»s unable to supply the needed 'books. More Or less trouble has occurred since then and finally McColly took his children out of school. On Tuesday McColly is said to have gone to the school house and made a demand for the books, but Miss Nelson, the teacher, refused to surrender them, saying that they were the property of the township. It is reported that McColly then choked her and held her while one of the McColly children got the books. ■

Attorney Sands considered the matter a very aggravated one and made a circuit ease of the charge. A warrant for the arrest of McColly was placed in the hands of Sheriff B. D. McColly and will be served either today or tomorro The sheriff is not related to the defendant, being from a different family.

Captain Crewe, a rich English army officer in India, invests all of his mpney in his very dear friend’s diamond mine, which proves a failure. Crewe dies thinking that his friend, Carrisford, ruined him, leaving little Sara in a boarding school in London. Carrisford becomes ill with yellow fever and forgets the child. ♦ In the first act Sara is giving a party in Miss Minchin’s school to her friends. In the midst of the party Mr. Barrow, a lawyer, calls, telling Miss Minchin of Captain Crewe’s death and states ehat the child is a beggar.

Everything,is taken away from Sara and she is sent to the garret to live. In the second act, the garret some years later, Sara returns from a hard day’s work. She is cold, wet and hungry. The garret is cold and enow comes in at the window. Nearly everyone has forgotten her but Lottie and Ennengarde and poor little Becky, the scullery maid, who lives in the next garret. ' Next door to the school is a large hopse in which Oarrisford’s lawyer lives. Carrisford becomes very ill and comes to England to live, bringing his Indian servants.
