W. R. Shesler is down from East Chicago today, having been called here as a witness in the trial of the State vs. Fox. Mr. Shesler is now employed by the Edwards Valve Manufacturing Co., as a watchman, and wears a star the same as he did while a resident of this city. Mr. Shesler states that conditions there are very bad and that hundreds who are seeking work are turned away daily. A rumor was circulated about the streets Tuesday night to the effect that Fred Harrington, the Standard Oil agent who is a frequent visitor in this city, was killed in an automobile accident near Orchard Grove Tuesday. No authentic reports have been received and the rumor cannot be confirmed, and it is possible that the report is without foundation. Judson Fitzpatrick, editor of the Francesville Tribune, was here last evening on business. Jud, in addition bo publishing a newspaper, has a prosperous fire insurance .business, owns an automobile and uses it largely in drumming up new business. Harrison Timmons returned to his home in Benton Harbor today. He was called here to testify in the case of the State vs. Fox, but it was venued to Newton county and will not come up until next month.

Lakin, Moore, Hollingsworth, Randle, Gant, Wasson, Blue, MoCol’y, Cumick, Ghourley, Hurley, Dunlap, King and McElfresh. The squad is the lightest that has reported in several years, but there are five of last year’s team left and Coach Meyers has hopes of whipping a team into shape that will well be able to take care of themselves. Some of the new material is very promising. Kentland will probably open the season here on October 9th.

Good Bread Made With Potato Meal

Buroau of Chemlatry Trios Out Gorman Potato Flaks, and Also MMme Experiments to Determine the In Mixed Flour of Such and Healthful Products mp Chestnut, Banana, Rice and Peas >j, Baking experiments to test the ▼aloe of making bread of potato meal mixed with wheat flour are now being undertaken by the U. 8. Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Chemistry. This is to test the possibilities of the potato in the same manner as Germany and Austria are now advising they* people to do. The increased cost of living throughout the world has emphasized the fact that flour made of other substances than wheat, or of these substances mixed with wheat, might provide people with healthful food quite as nutritious as the pure wheat flour, and at the same time be cheaper. Austrian bakers are now compelled by law to übc at least 30% potato meal in making their bread. The Bureau of Chemistry's potato meal bread has been baked with from 25 to 60% potato meal and the remaining percentage wheat The most satisfactory loaves in combining economy and appearance were those made with the minimum percentage allowed in Austria or less. The loaves made with more than 30% potato meal were not so satisfactory as they were heavier and less attractive in form. The bread has a rather coarse texture and dark appearance, but possesses a distinctive and agreeable flavor. It also retains moisture for a much longer period than ordinary wheat bread. The Bureau of Chemistry used the Imported potato flake in some of its experiments, and in others meal made by slicing, milling and drying potatoes on a small scale in its laboratories. It should be added that such ordinary “potato flour” as is on our American markets is not the same as the German "potato flake,” or Walzmehl, which has given such satisfactory results in the experiments. The question has been raised as to whether the ordinary cooked potato might not be satisfactorily substituted for the prepared potato megl. The expirementers believe that it might serve the same purpose if used in just the right proportion, but this would be difficult for the average housewife to determine, as there is great danger of using too much and producing a very soggy loaf. However, the custom of adding a very little potato is already used by many housekeepers to keep their bread moist, and this practice can very well be recommended for more general use. ( Dried bananas, ripe and unripe, and chestnuts are other substitutes for wheat flour with which experiments are being made by the Bureau of Chemistry. Still other products that ofTer promise of furnishing the public with a cheap and nutritious bread are the following: Bran, soy bean, white bean, millet, kafir, milo, dasheen, cottonseel flour, oatmeal, cassava, buckwheat, rye, com gluten, kaoliang, rice (polished and natural), peas, potato (Irish and sweet), com meal (whte and yellow). The breads made from these various ingredients have already been photographed and analyzed. The flours from which the breads were made are being analyzed, that it may be known exactly how nutritious they are In comparison with the pure wheat flour. The soy bean and cottonseed flours, when mixed with wheat flours In proper proportions (about 25j%) give a bread with about twice the amount of protein (muscle-building element) that the ordinary wheat bread contains.

The Bureau of Chemistry is making these experiments in spite of the fact that there is a law which makes It difficult for manufacturers to make mixed flour satisfactorily. This law surrounds the manufacture of mixed flour with so mixed flour with so many restrictions that the business has not become a popular one. The result Is there is very little mixed flour at present manufactured and offered for sale.

The Mixed Flour Act was passed in 1898, before there was a Food and Drugs Act, and was passed for the purpose of raising a war revenue at a time when many of the common articles of food did not command so high a price as now. The tax of four cents which Is now Imposed on every barrel of mixed flour is not in itself a heavy one; it is the collection of it, with the attendant regulations and restrictions, that hampers any manufacturer who‘-would like to make such flours. It should be stated in connection with the mixing of other materials with wheat flour in making bread that thin can not always be done economically. There must be taken into consideration the prevailing market price of the commodities to be used. This article is writen primarily for the purpose of bringing to the attention of the public the fact that in order to obtain good, nutritious and wholesome bread it Is not necessary to use an entirely wheat flour. A mixture will in many eases produce a bread which is quite as satisfactory. With ♦Til* a matter of common knowledge it is believed in times of overproduction and the consequent favoraide market prices of substances suitable for mt-riwg with wheat flour that bakers may wish to experiment with certain mixtures. Care should be taken, however, in marketing or selling of bread to which has been added In appreciable amount any Ingredient other than wheat, that no deception is practiced and that the consumers are aware of the kind of bread furnished

Was McClellan a Traitor?

Ia Harper's Magazine there ere printed for the first time extracts from John Hay's diary, written when he was Lincoln’s secretary. Writing In 1864, he recounts a story told him by Lincoln which reveals McClellan la a new light.

“On September 25, 1864, Hay records that a letter had just come from Nicolay. who was In New York, stating that Thurlow Weed, the dominant Republican leader in New York State, with whom Nicolay was to confer, had gone to Conada. When Hay showed the President the letter he said: *1 think I know where Mr. Weed has gone. I think he has gone to Vermont, not Canada. I will teU you what he is trying to do. I have not as yet told anybody.' "And then Lincoln proceeded to unfold the following story of a remarkable Intrigue: " 'Some time ago the Governor of Vermont came to me on "business of importance," he said. I fixed an hour and he came. His name is Smith. He is, though you would not think it, a cousin of Baldy Smith. Baldy is large, blond, florid. The Governor is a little, dark sort of man. This is the story he told me, giving General Baldy Smith as his authority: “ *When Gen. McClellan was here at Washington (In 1862) B. Smith was very Intimate with him. They had been toegther at Weet Point and. friends. McClellan had asked for promotion for Baldy from the President and got it. They were close and confidential friends. When they went down to £he Peninsula their same intimate relations continued, the General 'talking freely with Smith about all his plans and prospects, until one day Fernando Wood and one other (Democratic) politician from New York appeared in camp and passed some days with McClellan.

" 'From the day this took place Smith saw, or thought he Baw, that McClellan was treating him with unusual coolnes sand reserve. After a little while he mentioned this to MoClellan, ♦ho, after some talk, told Baldy he had something to show him. He tpld him that these people who had recently visited him had been urging him to stand as an opposition candidate for President; that he had thought the thing over and had concluded to accept their proposition, and had written them a letter (which he had not yet sent) giving his idea of the proper way of conducting the war, so as to conciliate and impress the people of the South with the idea that our armies were intended merely to execute' the laws and protect their property, etc., and pledging himself to conduct the war in that inefficient, conciliatory style. “ ‘This letter he read to Baldy, who, after the reading, was finished, said earnestly: "General, do you not see that looks like treason, and that it will ruin you and all of us?” After some further talk the General destroyed the letter in Baldy’s presence, and thanked him heartily for his frank and friendly counsel. After this he was again taken into the intimate confidence of McClellan. "'lmmediately after the battle of Antietam, Wood and his familiar came again and saw the General and again Baldy saw an immediate estrangement on the part of McClellan. He seemed to be anxious to get his intimate friends out of the way and to avoid opportunities of private conversation with them. Baldy he particularly kept employed on reconnoisance and such work. One night Smith was returning from some duty he had been performing, and, seeing a light in McClellan’s tent, he went in to report He reported and was about to withdraw when the General requested him to remain. After every one was gone he told him those men had been there again and had renewed their proposition about the Presidency; that this time he had agreed to their proposition and had written them a letter acceding to their terms and pledging himself to carry on the war in the sense already Indicated. NThis letter he read then and there to Baldy Smith. "'lmmediately thereafter B. Smith applied to be transferred from that army. At very nearly the same time other prominent men asked the same —Franklin, Burnside and others. “‘Now that letter must be in the possession of F. Wood, and It will not be impossible to get it. Mr. Weed has, I think, gone to Vermont to see the Smiths about it.’ “Hay continues: " *i was very much surprised at the story and expresed my surprise. I said I had always thought that McClellan’s fault was a constitutional weakness and timidity, which prevented him from active and timely exertion, Instead of any such deep-laid scheme of treachery and ambition. "The President replied: “After the battle of Antietam I went up to the field to try to get him to move, and came back thinking he would move at once. But when I got home he began to argue why he ought not to move. I peremptorily ordered him to advance. It was nineteen days before he put a man over the river. It was nine days longer before he got his army across, and then he stopped again, delaying on little pretexts of wanting this and that I began to fear he was playing false—that he did not want to hurt the enemy. I saw how he could intercept the enemy on the way to Richmond. t determined to make that the test If he let them get away I would remove him. He did Mb and I relieved him.*"
