NEWTON R. SPENCER, Editor and Proprietor.

It seems like a broad statement to say that there have been more fatalities in Hancock county the past year or two years, from loaded firearms than from all contagious and infectious diseases combined, with the exception of tuberculosis. It is a fact, nevertheless, that we believe the records will show. This being a fact, has it any significance? Does it mean anything to us, and will the people take warning and try to stop this awful slaughter of the innocent? For the prevention and to check contageous diseases, hundreds of dollars are spent annually and yet, victim after victim of the loaded firearm is reported and forgotten in a short time, until another innocent person is slain. "Didn't know it was loaded," is the only excuse that can be offered, and it is a fact that is accepted, but "didn't know it was loaded" spells carelessness on the part of someone. Firearms about the house were at one time necessary, but in this day and age of the world and -civilization are they really needed as badly as are the victims that must yield 'up their lives as a result? Burglars? Yes, sometimes a home is visited by burglars but is the danger from burglars or thieves which at the most want only some money or food, as great as is the danger to the children and other members of the household from loaded firearms standing in the closets or in the corner? How many times that you hear of burglaries do you hear of the householder protecting himself with his gun, anyway? Then if it is really of practically no value, except to give a false sense of security to the owner it would appear that the lives of the many innocents are sacrificed in vain.

When one considers the carnage of death as the result of "didn't know it was loaded" guns, the value to the owners of the weapons seems indeed insignificant compared to the innocent lives lost, sorrow and all the terrible consequences of the firearm about the house.

Too much can not be said in approval of the rigid rules adopted by the Democratic County Committee against questionable practices among candidates for the purpose of influencing votes. The treating habit in a social and business way is much more injurious practice than it is generally supposed to be, but the social and business evil is nothing as compared with baleful consequences of the practice in politics. The practice had grown until it became such a burden that many good men did not become candidates for office for the simple reason that they could not afford to make the race fo? office. In many places the practice of influencing votes by treating and the use of money became so universal that candidates spent more money in securing the office than it was worth. That men who had done so, would seek to make their money back while in office, is scarcely more than could be expected. So it came about that there was and is so much corruption, graft and extravagance in official affairs. The people are the ones that suffer, and it is well that they have become aroused all over the country and are demanding reforms in political methods. The wrongs have not been confined to any political party or any locality. There has been too much of it everywhere, and any party which effects genuine reforms deserves the commendation of the people. We are pleased to see the election laws of Indiana made more strict against corruption, and we are glad to see the many Democratic candidates so willing to adopt strict rules against unlawful influencing of votes.

Amusements.

Grace George and the New York Playhouse Company will begin a three days' engagement at the Shubert Murat, Indianapolis, Monday, October 2. Monday, Wednesday and Wednesday matinee, the five-act Shakespearean comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing," will be given with a sumptuousness and precision of detail that has never before been y- attempted.

Miss George will be seen in the character of Beatrice, the young'est star that has attained this distinction. Her training and study g- has been along these lines for sevrjyeral years, and she will undoubtedly jg^make an impression in the madcap sir character of Beatrice that will be remembered as long as the theater invites attention. On Tuesday evening one performance of "Just to

Get Married"' will be given. The

Be Prepared for Opportunities

authoress, Cicely Hamilton, has taken the theme of Marriage of Convenience and has woven around it.a dialogue that is full of sharp and witty sayings and contains as one may judge from the title, many amusing scenes and ludicrous situations.

After two weeks more on the road, Miss George and the Playhouse Company will return to New York and enter a season of elaborate repertoire that Mr. Brady has made out for her and her company at the Playhouse. The company here will be the original one and includes the famous English actor, Lyn Harding. Others in this important cast are Jane Corcoran, Owen Baxter, Kenneth Hunter, John May, Mona Morgan, Ernest Chester, John Cromwell and others.

Oldham, Mabel Crawley, H. Nye Chart, Arthur Elliott, Stanhope Wheateraft and Regal Robinson. d&w

The title of William Faversham's

new play, "The Faun," by Edward I send out many New Year's greet-

Knoblauch, which he will present at the Shubert Murat theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 5th, 6th and 7th, is as novel as the story or theme of the drama. In this play Mr. Faversham will impersonate a faun, the son of Pan— something new to the stage. The faun is a deity of the woods and herds—the god of the shepherd. He is supposed to be half human, with pointed ears, short horns and goat's feet. The faun in Mr. Knoblauch's comedy is discovered bathing in a fountain in the garden of a London house. He is at first thought to be a tramp, but on examination he is discovered to be a mythological creature of the woods. He proves so out of the ordinary that he is given modern clothes to wear, and so habilitated becomes a member of the household and is thus given an opportunity to become a member of our work-a-day life. Beginning with this unique dramatic device, the dramatist has provided a story of extraordinary interest and much charm. Mr. Faversham has a fine company, of which Julie Opp is the leading lady. Others of the organization are Daisy Belmore, Elsie

FORTVILLE, R. R. 1.

Large crowds attended the Fortville horse show Wednesday and Thursday of last week.

Why Audience Tittered. It was over at Tipton that a revival was in progress recently, and Sister Brown, a recent convert, was called upon to give her testimony. Being meek and humble, she said: "I don't feel as though I could stand here and give testimony. I have been a transgressor for a good many years and have only recently seen the light. I believe my place is in a dark corner behind the door."

Brother Smith was next called on and following the example set by Sister Brown, he said: "I, too, have been a sinner for more than forty years, and I do not think it would be fitting for me to stand before this assembly as a model. I think my place is behind the door, in a dark corner, with Sister Brown."

And the two innocents wondered why the members of the audience were almost convulsed with laughter.

TODAY'S SU MARKET

MOST HOGS 15C LOWER OTHERS 25 TO 35C LOWER

Supply Larger, Little Outside Demand—Barely Steady for Cattle.

Receipts, 8,000 hogs, 1,400 cattle,. 700 calves and 700 sheep, against 5,903 hogs, 1,195 cattle, 381 calves and 905 sheep a week ago ago, and 6,311 hogs, 1,427 cattle, 408 calves and 1,091 sheep a year ago.

Buyers of hogs had the advantage and the result was a further sharp decline in prices. The receipts were larger, the outside demand only fair, and the reports from other places were unfavorable to the selling side. Most of the standard grades sold 15c lower and light hogs, which continue too plentiful, sold at a further discount from the good kinds. Sales 25c 10 35c lower. There was a lack of animation on the market from start to finish and: at the close much light stuff remained unsold. Hogs usually classed as the standard grades sold for $6.50 to $6.85, and not many above $6.75. There was a good deal of trashy stock and pigs from $6.25down.

Aside from nearly 300 cattle and' calves on through billing, the receipts were fair for this time in the week and with a continued" scarcity of choice stock in all lines there were more of others than thetrade required. There were not' enough steers good enough to sell? for $7.00 up to supply the demand, and more of a closs that sold for $6.00 down than was necessary. Thestockers and feeding cattle and' bulls sold steady. Good veals were' steady, but others 25c lower.

The run of sheep and lambs was smaller than usual. Lambs sold! for $3.00 to $5.75 and sheep for $1.00' to $3.50.
