Peculiar Plienomena of the Earth is Found \ear Home on the Rush-Shelby Line.
One of the most unusual and mystifying' sights ever witnessed is to be found at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Arnold, one mile north of St. Paul, which is a point near the junction of Rush, Shelby and Decatur counties. The Greensburg Democrat says of it:
It is a substance that comes from the ground that looks like blood. What it is or what causes it remains to be explained. The spot where the "blood" oozes from old mother earth is about two feet in diameter and lies at the northeast corner of the Arnold home within about two feet of the house.
In an interview with Mr. Arnold at his home Saturday afternoon he said that the substance, whatever it is, has been doing the stunt ever since 1876, when he erected the residence. He said that he had never given the matter any attention and had never as much as attempted to find out what caused the phenomena. The "blood" oozes from the earth after every rain, or following a heavy dew*. It comes from the ground in such quantities as to cause it to trickle down the sloping lawn in tiny streams. However, soon after it emerges from the soil the substance seems to make a chemical change and becomes of a dark color much the same as human blood does upon beginning to become dry. There is no smell to the stuff, but it is a little sticky.
Below the crust of soil nothing ii to be found that would indicate from whence the substance comes. The earth looks the same as other soil in the same vicinity. Thoplatv wiiere the "blood" emerges from the ground is entirely devoid of grass and at the present time is entirely covered with the substance. It looks similar to a spot where a hog has been stuck, or some dark crime has been committed.
Mr. Arnold slated that many visitors had been to his home since the spot first became evident, but none Of them thus far had ever attempted to solve the mystery. It is one of the most mystifying and weirdlooking- scenes ever witnessed on a rainy day and would pay skeptics to visit the Arnold home, if for no •other reason than to satisfy their own minds. .Many persons are prone In believe, that it is the workings of different gases below, but whether this is a fact or not can not be stated at the present time. A chunk of the soil has been secured and will be forwarded to the slate geologist for an examination.
FINGER IN GODS OF
Master Paul Dcrry Loses Nail in a Painful Accident While He Was At Play.
Master Paul Dcrry, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Derrv, of North East street, was the victim of a painful accident Friday evening, in which he lost a linger nail.
With a plavmale he wns riding on an nrle Sam Coaster, when Ins finger became caught, the, cogs. The nail was torn off of a linger, and the little fellow suffered a. great deal of pain. Dr. E. R. Sisson was called and dressed flu injury.
The way to build up a community is for every person it, who can. I to put some money info industries that give the people employment, and push the industries to success. Industries that last all the year are the best, but those that last part, of the year are better than none. The most valuable power on earth is human power, and when it is not employed it is not only lost, but it also consumes part of what others earn. Work creates wealth, work sets money in motion work pays debts is the vital power in prosperity, and that city, that community, and that nation whose people are idle, are poor, and poor proportion to the number that work, and the time they work.' Heaven's greatest earthly blessing to any people is to give them honest, remunerative work.
Mrs. Nancy E. Lamb, of Philadelphia, received word a few days ago from her sister, Mrs. Emeline Leamon, of Hannibal, Mo., saying that she would arrive in a few days and spend the summer with her.
RUN OVER BY II
(iranvilie Miller, Carthage Liveryman, Was Badly Hurt in Accident There Friday Morning.
El
Granville Miller, the Carthage liveryman, was knocked down and run over by an automobile driven by Riley Alexander, living between Cartilage and Arlington, in front of the Ed Henley grocery store in Carthage Friday morning, says the Rushville Republican. Miller was very painfully hurt, but the exact nature of his injuries can not be determined. He may be internally injured, although the attending physician, Dr. J. C. Sipe, has made no statement to that effect.
The liveryman was leaving the Henley store and was crossing Main street, intending to go to the Pierce grocery store across the street, when the accident happened. The Alexander machine struck Mr. Miller squarely in the back and threw him, face forward, to the street. Both the back and front wheels of the machine passed over Miller's right arm and shoulder. rendered unconscious for time.

THEY NEVER TIRE OF SEEING CIRCUS

The small boy always knows when the circus is coming to town. Indeed he does. No one knows how he knows it. It is in the air and gets to him long before Dan Robinson's picture and the picture of the jumping ladies anil the Numidian lion and the Bengal tiger and the big snakes from the jungles of India or Africa appear on the board about he streets. It certainly reaches lim by wireless telegraphy.

LINCOLN PFACF MEMORIAL NOW BEING PLANNED.
A great Lincoln memorial and "Temple of Peace," beautiful in conception, with a ruggedness and strength of outline in keeping with its idealistic personification of the peace and the unification of the Nation, will tower above the rugged stone hills somewhere between Bedford and Bloomington, Ind., if the present plans arc carried out.
The idea, more vast than anything of the kind hitherto seriously contemplated in America, is described by Frank Maynard in the •July number of Popular Mechanics Magazine, and a page illustration forecasts something of its magnificence.
The conception is unique as well as beautilul, and no precedent whatsoever, either the architectural or sculptural features, has been followed. is to be built entirely ot Indiana oolitic limestone, more commonly known as Bedford stone. It is, fact, to symbolize stone as a great industry, but this is simply a minor phase, and, although of much importance in its erection, is dimmed by the great idealistic purpose of its being.
The "Temple of Peace," above which will rise the statue of Lin coin, is to be semi-circular in form, about 35 feet in height, and 200 feet across from end to end. It will face the westward sun from a vast ledge of stone, probably near the edge of an old quarry, one of the dominant lulls which abound in the midst of the rugged and wild scenery of the quarry district. How much! of this ledge will be rough hewn in the face of the stone hill or will have to be built up in the form of huge stone blocks, will be determined when the actual site is selected, but whether hewn out or built up, this base, and the broad winding road leading to its top, will be a great undertaking in itself.— From Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The world's marching orders are 'on to the grave.' The sword is hanging over your heads. The last day is hidden therefore, watch every day. Be wise in time. Look well to the petty ills thaUyou may avoid big ones. Discovers God's laws and obey them that you may live long in the land."
That Nature is the sure and safe physician has been abundantly proven. Her resources, when aided and wisely directed by Nature doctors, are unbounded and accomplish cures hitherto unknown.
Nature is the constant protector of the individual. She is abundantly able to restore health if treatment by her hand-maid, Osteopathy, is followed as prescribed by skilled Osteopaths.
Little will you wonder at the confidence reposed in the Spaunhurst Osteopaths when you know of their praiseworthy work, and how Osteopathy successfuly treats all conditions of ill-health attempted by medical methods, and many socalled surgical or incurable cases they have abandoned.
By the sweat of their brow these Nature doctors are accomplishing splendid cures in this community. They have earned and are entitled to the patronage of all who are handicapped with disease. All those who have given their treatment a fair trial regard it the best investment of their life and will verify these statements. Ask them.
Nature's own methods are knocking at our door. Here lies our opportunity to get will, if we will avail ourselves of the benefits that come to mankind through the skillful application of Osteopathy.
Is it asking too much to say that, we expect you. who are blessed with these opportunities to en,joy good health and live long, lo show sympathy and do your neighbors a good turn by telling them of Nature's way to health and that, it will cost them nothing for an accurate physical examination by these pioneer Osteopaths at their offices, New Block, Greenfield? Phone 171, day or night. Thus you will have the consciousness of duly well performed, and be rewarded by seeing your sick friend restored to health by Nature's own means. d.m-fr-w-tf

Only Fifteen in County During the Entire Month—Other Months Have Reen Better.
Notwithstanding the fact that June is called the month of brides, there were only fifteen marriage licenses issued by County Clerk Moses Wood during the month ending today.
This is even smaller than the average, some months showing as many as twenty-five licenses, and but few under a dozen or fifteen. The Clerk is unable to account for this condition, as he has been ready at all times to accommodate couples willi the proper credentials with the necessary papers.

Typhoid Shows Decrease. With the exception of January and August of 1910, figures compiled by the Stale Board of Heullh concerning typhoid fever, show Ilia' Mv disease by months, for the year 1910, was considerably less than the average by months for the ten years ending with the year in the two months named. The excess for 1910 over the average for January and August for the ten-year period, was very slight. For September and October, known as typhoid fever months, the decrease for the year 1910, in comparison with average for the ten-year period, was marked. Constant agitation by the State Board of Health of the principles of hygiene and the unceasing efforts to compel cities to clean streets, alleys and back yards and to abate other nuisances that cause typhoid, are held by the board to have been responsible for the decrease in the disease.
Lost Time Gone Forever. The days that come to us like friends in disguise, bringing priceless gifts from an unseen hand but if we do not use them, they are borne silently away, never to return. Each successive morning new gifts are brought, but if we failed to accept those that were brought, yesterday and the day before, we become less and less able to turn them to account, until the ability to appreciate and utilize them is exhausted. (Wisely was it said that lost wealth may be regained by industry, economy lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance and medicine, but lost time is gone forever.
