Card From Porter Middleton Says He Is Making Good On Big Paper—Was In Mexico.
A card from Porter Middleton, formerly a newsboy and later a reporter on the papers of this city states that he is now with the Los Angeles, Calf., Times, and drawing a good sized pay ckeck. Mr Middleton was reporter for the Indianapolis Sun for two years and left the paper when it was reported to have changed owners.
He was sent to El Paso, Tex., by the Indianapolis News as one of their correspondents, in case there was any fighting, and later went to Los Angeles when the Mexican trouble died down. Porter has many friends here who wish him the very best of success in his new location.

John Burgan. a Civil War Veteran Died of Blood Posioning.
John Burgan. age 76 years, died at 0 o'clock Thursday evening at his home, 53 north Wood street, after an illness extending over a long period with blood posioning, which necessitated the amputating of several toes at various times.
Mr. Burgan was a veteran of the Civil war and was a well respected citizen, who has made many friends since coming to this city. The body will be shipped to Liston, Ind., Saturday, by undertaker H. Eshelman and the interment will be in the Veley Cemetery, near that place.
The Heart of the Hills.
Two of the mostly read stories published in the Scribner's Magazine during the past twenty-five years were "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" and "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," by John Fox, Jr. In book form they were long listed amoug the "best sellers" and their popularity goes on year after year. Mr. Fox's new story, which will run nearly through the year will commence in the April number. It has a most attractive title, "The Heart of the Hills," and its title is fair promise of the charm of the story. This is a story of vivid contrasts. The people of the Mountains are brough in contact with the people of the Blue Grass. The main interest of the plot revolves about a boy and girl of the hills and a boy and girl of the plains. It is their development from a crude childhood to wiser maturity tha,t enchains the reader. They are real people, as appealing and lovable as Chad or June of Fox's previous stories. There are dramatic action, humor, sentiment and pathos, and something of political turmoil. It is a story near at hand in its people and interest—a picture of modern Kentucky. Illustrations by F. C. Yohn.

THE RADITOR PLANT GOES TO BEECH GROVE.
The Shirley Raditor Company has definitely decided to locate its new factory at Beech Grove, Indianapolis. The Beech Grove improvement company made the company a gift of 15 acres of land
a building site and also 107 building lots. The commercial club sold the lots for the Raditor Company, which will use the money in erecting eight large factory buildings. They hope to have the new factory in operation in ninty days.
This factory was formerly located at Shirley, this county, but was burned several weeks ago. That town could not offer as large inducements as could Indianapolis and the location was changed. It is a big loss to Shirley as it had a large weekly pay roll.

Frank Lynam will care for the body upon its arrival in this city.

THE WORST BUZZARD OF THE ENTIRE SEASON
Snow Whirled in Every Direction By Fierce Winds—Very Few People Left Their Homes.
While we have had some extremely rough weather this past and present winter,, with several blizzards, those who were compelled to be out Sunday, say they experienced the most disagreeable weather of the entire winter. The snow was whirled in every direction by the fierce wind. Beginning early in the morning, this condition continued until after noon and the snow was badly drifted.
Just, about the time property owners had paths made, it began snowing again and made it necessary for, them to preform their work over. Very few people were out during the day and the effect of the blizzard was very noticable on the attendance at the Sunday schools and churchs. Some of our weather prognosticators say this blizzard is the end of t^ie Equinoctial storm and that now spring will come for sure. We have quit making any predictions, however.

HIGH BIRTH BATE III
Is Attributed to the Climate by Dr. Hurty— Total Births In February Numbered -i.053.
Statistics sliowig that the southern counties of Indiana maintained in February their record for many births arc explained by Dr. John N. Ilurty, state health commissioner, by the general rule that the, rate of births and deaths is higher nearer the equator than at more distant points. The figures have just been completed in the offices of the state board of health, and, as usual, credit the southern counties with a much higher birth rate than is shown in any other part of the state. The same conditions that affect the birth rate, according to the health commissioner, have hindered development in the southern part of the state in reaching the plane found in the northern counties.
Vital statisticians have declared that as the expert health authority investigates conditions from north to south, he finds that the birth and death rates increase as the equator is approached. Asked if the distance between the northern boundary of Indiana and the southern boundary if the state is great •enough to account for the increase in birth and death returns on the theory expressed by those health anthoritiese. Dr. Hutry answered in the affirmative.
He declared that, the discrepancy in the Indiana birth rate, which last month w~as more than a rate of four births to each 1,000 population estimated on an annual basis for the month, showed that the same rule prevails in this stale as prevailed in the United States as a whole. The southern states invariably show a high death rate and a higher birth rate.
The total number of births in the state last- month was -'1.053." still births excluded. The total number of boys born was 2,121 and the girls numbered 1,932. There were 121 still births recorded, 120 ,of them being white parents, and one from a colored family.
The white boys born numbered 2,083 and the white girls 1,892. The total number of children borri of colored parents was seventyeight, of which thirty-eight were' boys and forty were females. A month's recodr where the girl children of either color outnumber the births of boys of the same color is unusual according to health officials.

Pushing Double Track Work. Work on the Pan Handle double"' track is being pushed at, Dunreith, and an engine and crew are busy making the fill west of the National road crossing. This fill is also being made wide enough for thestation, the platform and station grounds, all of which will be south of the double track, and probably five hundred feet west of the traction station. The plans contemplate a new station of neat design and modern in every respect. The second track will run where the present depot (which was build in 1808) stands.
The railroad has completed the new roadway or the National road, on grounds purchased of W. L. Cory. This change cuts out the close parallel of pike and railroad and makes almost a right angle crossing.—Knights town Banner.
