ACT OF KINDNESS RESULTS IH DEATH
John P. Murphy, Civil War Veteran, Dies of Injuries He Received ,-k While Helping Old Comrade
John P. Murphy, age 69 year?, a Civil War Veteran, died Friday afternoon at his home one ar.ri orehalf miles north of Mohawk, as the result of injuries he received last Saturday while assisting an old comrade, Henry Tibbetts, to extricate his horse from a side ditch, where he had fallen. It is not known just how Mr. Murphy was injured, as there were no marks on his body such as would have been left had he been kicked. It is thought probably that his injury was more of a crushing one as he was hurt internally and pneumonia set in.
Mr. Murphy was a well known and highly respected citizen. He served in the 79th Indiana regiment during the Civil War, and was a member of the Greenfield Grand Army Post. He leaves a widow and six children, all grown. The two daughters are Mrs. Ella McQueery, of Eden Mrs. Wm. Albea, wif6 of County Commissioner Albea, of Vernon township. The four sons are William Murphy, of Center township Benjamin Murphy, of this city Alvah Murphy, who is unmarried and lived with his parents, and John Murphy, of Buck Creek township. One sister, Mrs. Ellen Shore, of southern Missouri a half sister, Mrs. Eunice Cox, and a half brother, Robert Murphy, of this city, survive.
Funeral Sunday at 1 o'clock at the residence in charge of the G. A. R., and with Rev. 0. F. Lydy officiating. Interment at Mt. Gilead cemetery. Morrison & McDaniel, undertakers.
The funeral of John P. Murphy, at the residence near Mohawk on Sunday, was attended by a large number of people, including relatives, friends, neighbors and lodge brothers.

HEJtl IS BENEFICIAL TO THE GORN CROP
Sweltering Humanity Can Stand Heat More Patiently With the Knowledge That It Means a Big Corn Crop.
The great heat of the past few days which has caused so much distress and discomfort to sweltering humanity, means a great deal to the farmers and indirectly to every person, as it has done and is doing wonders for the corn crop. Its value to the corn can hardly be computed. Unless frost comes unusually early, there will be almost an average crop of corn in almost every part of this county and this notwithstanding the fact that the corn was planted late and the conditions were very discouraging in the early part of the season.
The corn got a late start. The early summer found much of it barely sprouted, and midsummer overtook many fields before they were three feet high. The stand was poor in many instances and the beginning was unfavorable in all.
Then came such a period of corn weather as would, with .a reasonable start of the grain, have made a grand yield. It went far toward overcoming the earlier difficulties of the crop, but it could not overcome them entirely. A period of delightfully cool weather came then and during it the corn made little progress. Then came the heavy rains and the July-like warmth which has lasted until the present time, and with the latter stimulus ears that were big have lengthened and ears that were little have swollen and become large, while many stalks which under ordinary influences would have made nothing at all, are now staggering under the weight of the ears.
There will, of course, be some fields which were so hard hit by the early difficulties that they can yield little. Also, in all fields, there will be more than the usual number of small and ill-formed ears. But the whole yield, so the farmers say, is sure to be large.
An article that has real merit should in time become popular. That such is the case with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been attested by many dealers. Here is one of them. H. W. Hendrickson, Ohio Falls, Ind., writes: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best for coughs, colds and croup, and is my best seller." For sale by all dealers.

John M. Hall, Farmer, Prefers Charges Against Bicycleman.
John M. Hall, a farmer living near New Palestine, has preferred a charge of conduct unbecoming an officer against Lawrence Hartsell, a bicycleman, and a hearing on the charge will be held by the board of public safety Wednesday afternoon.
Hall, in his sworn complaint, says Hartsell' demanded some money from him, saying that notoriety and publicity would be avoided if the money was forthcoming and that when the money was refused, Hartsell struck him and arrested him for loitering. The charge of loitering was not sustained in police court. Supt. Hyland has told the board he made an investigation of the charge, which was denied by Hartsell. The affair is said to have happened July 17th, in a street near Virginia avenue.—Indianapolis News.

30,000 LESS FARMS
(Next Private Car Excursion, September 17th.)
IN ILLINOIS there are 12,297 less farms, in Iowa 11,578, and in Indiana 6,412 less than there were in the year 1900. The farms that, remain are that much larger. During the same period farm renters have increased over 8,000 in Indiana, 13,000 in Illinois and 10,000 in Iowa. A record of 30,000 less owners and 31,000 more renters' in II years in three states. There were 251,181 tenant farmers in those states in 1910. MACHINERY now does much of the farm work. The older farmers with the large profits secured during the recent years of high prices for farm products have been acquiring more land and the machinery to work it. Land in those states has become too cosily for the^younger generation, and as a result they have been "crowded out" into distant states and. into the cities until the rural population of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa has actually been reduced.
