Tic watered oyster is doomed in Indi na. No more will the housewife who ends to the corner grocery, or otic places where the juicy bivalve is bartered, sold or given away, be de! t ivi-d with three or four insignificant little fellows and a quart of W ater that probably has come from tin- citing of ice with all its impurities. The decree for pure oysters is Indiana is going out. and H. E. Barnard, Indiana's pure food and drug commissioner, means to see that Itis orders are observed. Under the present plan of many of the shipping oyster houses of the east the oysters tire placed in tubs or oilier ]' • ptaeles, and to keep them cool in transit cakes of ice are thrown into the vessels. This ice melts, and by tie time they reacli the retail dealer lie is receiving large- quantities of water in addition to the original let of oysters. Then, too, it is :i te ( | by the pure food authorities, nian.- impurities are often in the ice, and ti c are sold with the watered oysters. Mr Barnard lias decided that oyster dealers must totno under the ante I nv as the watered milk dealer. So Ic ; ending out notices to all the wh'iiesalers who receive oysters In thi \v.i> that the shipments will be conic ted. Me la likewise sending ■out notices that the sale of such oyster ■ a violation of the law against the adulteration of foods and that vigorous prosecutions will be Institute.| against transgressing dealers. ruder a modern method of shipment the oysters are placed in metallic receptacles and these in turn plai “ti in larger boxes. Around the intei. t vessel crushed ice is placed and thus when the oyster arrives at its destination it lias not been washed drout for hundreds of miles in water. By this plan, Mr. Barnard says, the oyster retains the same flavor it has when taken from the beds and is not swollen or “fattened." He believes the majority of the dealers, troth wholesale and retail, will readily understand how they have been violating the law and anticipates no trouble in having them conform to his orders.

Lying on a bed pitifully crying for water and almost going into convulsions at the sight of it. is the pitiful condition of Peter Clement Grosse. the 12-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Grosse, 2351 First Avenue, Terre Haute, who is w'aiting for death to end his suffering from hydrophobia. Three physicians, Drs. E. S. Niblaok, W. E. Bell and J. H. Weinstein, held a consultation over the case last night and gave up all hope of saving the box's life. Neighbors offered to send the boy to the Pasteur Institute at Chicago, but the physicians caid that it would be useless as there was no method known to science that could cure a case of hydrophobia so

far advanced.

The family of the doomed boy, consisting of a mother and father, three sisters and two brothers, are prostrated with grief. The mother has been in poor health for some time and the shock, caused by the announcement that her son could not live more than a day or two at the most, almost caused her death. Young Grosse was bitten about two months ago by a bull pup only five weeks old. While wrestling with it in the yard one day the animal became mad and bit the boy through the right ear. A few days before that, the dog had bitten Miss Anna Grosse. the boy's sister, through the right hand and also the boy's niece. 4-year old Cecelia Grosse, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Grosse. 2245 Second Avenue. The dog got so that he would snap at everybody in sight and some of the neighbors said that he was mad, so he was killed, but the family did not think anything of it until Tuesday morning when Peter began to complain that his right ear was hurting him.—Bra-

The high school authorities wish it announced that the stories which have been lately circulated around Greencaotle to tlie effect that a High School Euchre Club had been organized, are false. They state that they are merely the pranks of some of the Indents who wished to see some excitement. These students started the stories with the expectation of being called up on the green carpet and given a close examination from | which they expected to derive some pleasure. But the joke was turned on them. The high school authorities discovered the ruse at once and said nothing at all. Since then the school lads have reported the meetings of the pretended club and the election of officers but even ttiat did not change the teachers, so the mischiefmakers have retired defeated. Now the authorities wish the misinformed public to know that the rumors are false and that no high school euchre club or any other lias been formed among the high school students, it was simply an attempt at a joke which did not pan out as expected.

Because of this he was assigned to one of the best divisions of the mail service in the west—the Bk Four system Mr. Dunbar does not know how soon ho will be called to his new position but it will probably be within six months.

A partially substantiated story conics from the neighborhood of Coatesville in Hendricks County to the effect that revolvers anJ force played an important part in the election in that district. It is stated that two Democrats went to Terre Haute to bring back with them a brother working in Terre Haute but holding his residence in Hendricks County. The three left the interurhan at Coatesville and started to drive to tlie polling place where their votes were to be cast. Before they reached the polls, so the story goes, they were held up by several men with revolvers who demanded that they turn back and give up the idea of voting. This they refused to do. One of the men was then dragged from tlie rig and away into a corn field and was held there by force and under threats of shooting if he attempted to get away. It is reported that today one of tlie holdup gang was arrested, and that he ltd.- impHcnted s prominent citizen of Hendricks in the unwarranted proceedings No names are as yet given out, but the teller vouched for the truth of the statements and declared that one arrest had alreadybeen made.

WAITING AND WATCHING

The people of the United Stales, more especially those interested in honest elections and fair counts, are anxiously waiting and watching f >r the itemized statement of the contributions made to the Republican national campaign fund. Its publication was promised during campaign. No one believed at that time that a full, fair and honest statement would ever be made; this same belief is still generally prevalent. Such a publication would jar the nerves of Republicans who are conscientious and h mest in their support of the party.
