On Monday, September 8th, at the election in the Third Congressional District in the State of Maine, the total vote gave the Republican candidate, Mr. Peters, 15,106 Mr. Pattangall, Democrat, 14,553, and Mr. Lawrence, Progressive, 6,487. At the November election of last year the same district gave Mr. Wilson, Democrat, 14,692 Mr. Roosevelt, Progressive, 13,236, and Mr. Taft, Republican, 7.159.

Monday's election was a special election for the purpose of filling a vacancy, and was fought out on national issues, a fact recognized in the headlines of the news article on this subject contained in the Indianapolis Star of today.

This is certainly most encouraging and- in line with the indications of all the elections held this year. There can be no question of doubt as to the tendency of public sentiment towards the Republican party and of the fatal weakness exhibited by our Progressive friends. Republicans are to be congratulated and their courage renewed. The G. 0. P. can, and will be, successful in the future.

Report From Washington Says the Wheat Crop Beats Any Record, Rut Corn Crop is Very Short

A crop report issue4 by the Federal Government at Washington Tuesday says that not since the United States became one of the great grain producing nations, has there been such a marvelous record made by spring and winter wheat crops as has been made this year. TJie production of wheat, according to this report, will exceed 6,000,000 bushels, the record crop harvested in 1901. The combined crops of winter and spring wheat reached the total of 754,000,000 bushels.

Enormous Loss in Corn An enormous loss in the prospective production of corn is a feature of the report. Hot weather and drouth in a number of the principal corn growing states during the month ending Sept. 1st, caused a deterioration of corn, which, experts calculate, has resulted in the loss of 321,000,000 bushels, reducing the corn crop estimates to 2,3.51,000,000 bushels. This destructive crop weather caused a loss of about 300,000,000 bushels during July, and the August loss brought the total up to 621,000,000 bushels since the first estimates of corn crop prospects were made by the government.

APPOINTS NEW ASSESSOR IN SUGAR CREEK TOWNSHIP

County Auditor Lawrence Wood has appointed Joseph C. Waggoner as assessor in Sugar Creek township, to fill out the unexpired term of Ed Ayers, who was appointed postmaster at New Palestine. Mr. Waggoner filed his bond with his father, Sylvester Waggoner, and former county treasurer, Philander Col Iyer, as surety.

Greenfield Woman Exhibits Flowers Mrs. W. F. Spangler spent the day at Indianapolis, where she has a number of fine asters on exhibition at the State Fair. Mrs. Spangler /has raised beautiful flowers for several years, and has won many prizes at fairs and bazaars. She has developed from single asters, large double blossoms and at this time there are very few single asters in .her flower garden, which covers

almost the entire back lot at the .^Spangler home, corner of Douglas %ifand Spring streets.

FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF PASTORATE HERE

Rev. Joseph B. Williamson Has Record of Longest Pastorate of Any Pastor of the Local Church

From Saturday's Daily. Rev' Joseph B. Williamson, pastor of the Presbyterian church will, on Sunday, September 7th, celebrate the fifth anniversary of his pastorate here. This is the longest pastorate in consecutive years of any pastor of the local church.

Rev. Williamson came here from Paoli, Ind., in 1908, and he has just worked all the time he has been here. Especially has his work been strong among the young people. He organized the Junior Brotherhood among the boys and the Daughters of the Kirk for the girls, and organized the first Boy Scout troop in the county. He has general supervision over the scout work in the county, and is scout commissioner of the city. He has a record of thirty-one merit badges in connection with the scout work, the best in the entire country.

Rev. Williamson has been on the firing line all the time in reform wrork of the city, especially in the Sabbath Observance movement, and his work has told in better conditions. In his church an increase of one hundred members is found for the five years, in the face of a heavy loss from removals.

The church has been put on a good, solid financial basis by the institution of the budget system of collecting and distributing of funds, and a new parsonage has been added lo the church property. Rev. "\Villiamson has endeavored to make the church institutional, to reach out and stand for all the church should stand for in a community.

Altogether, the work of Rev. Williamson has been very successful in this city and both in and out of the church his friends are many and staunch. It is to be hoped that Rev. Williamson's work will continue here for many more years, under his personal supervision.

Yesterday was school children's day at the fair and hundreds were in attendance, and the officials were kept busy hunting lost children for parents, or lost parents for children. The fair is reported to be up to the average this year in all departments.

INSTITUTE IS OVER, TEACHERS PLEASED

Friday, the Last Day, Was of Unusual Interest Roberts Interested Teachers in New Work

The closing day of the Institute was marked by large attendance. Many outside visitors were present. Teachers crowded to the front to hear Prof. Roberts and to see his specimens.

Institute opened by singing the hymn, "Abide with Me," and "God Speed the Right." Mrs. Stokes, of Fortville, then read the sixth chapter of St. Hohn, and Prof. Roberts then took the floor, conducting his talk along agricultural lines. In speaking of the San Jose scale on the apple, he said: "They are recognized by the little red spots on the apple, varying 'in size from a pin point to a pea. In the center of each little red spot will be found one or more scales. The young scale is born alive that is, it is not hatched, and begins operations in a very short time. They run around over the apple for two or three hours and then anchor themselves to the apple and begin to form the scale or covering. One scale, under favorable conditions, may reproduce two or three billion others in the course of one season. The young scale reproduces in a period of five or six days. "The birds tend to spread the scale from one tree to another, by carrying it on their feet. The lime and sulphur mixture is the proper spray for these'-destroyers. This should be put on afte? the trees have been pruned choose some clear quiet day between November and March to do the spraying. Be surq ^that, the spray touches all parts of the tree, but do not put on so much that it will drip off. "For stem borers, which ruin the roots of cucumber and melon vines, by sucking the juice from the root and stem, powTdered snuff is recommended. Scratch the dirt from around the stem and sift a little of the snuff in, and rake the dirt back.

The snuff does the rest." Prof. Roberts then gave directions on the making of many things to be used in the classroom in Uie study of agriculture.

Miss McMullen's talk was on the "Presentation of Poultry in the class. Her talk was of vital interest and importance to all teachers of literature of any kind, and was listened to with close attention by all.

Friday Afternoon

Prof. Roberts began his talk by quoting a little verse from one of our daily newspapers:

"Full many a teacher you may know, Along life's slippery pathway walking,

Who left off thinking long ago, But kept on talking, talking."

He then took up the sturdy of soils, their composition, power of capillary attraction, and their manner of percolation. He gave some very interesting experiments along this line. Methods for testing seed corn, cloker and flower seed were also discussed and described.

The different methods of presenting the subject of agriculture in the common schools were discussed and explained. Again Prof. Roberts was handicapped for time and had to close before he had given the complete talk. His subject was one of vast interest, and of vital importance to the entire community, and the teachers were loath to have him close.

Miss McMullen's talk was short and had to deal with poetry. It was an interesting talk on the poetry for children.

Mr. Booke, of the State Educational Department at Indianapolis, was here, and gave a brief discussion of the new vocational law and the new course of study.

As in the case with each institute, the teachers were unanimous in pronouncing the last one the best. Many teachers who had a horrible fear of the new law for teaching Domestic Science, Agriculture and Manual Training are now eager for the beginning of the term so that they may be able to utilize some of the new ideas that have been gained during the week. These new subjects are of vast imT portance. Through them it is hoped to regain some of the lost interest in school work, and help some boys and girls to "find themselves."

This work is not meant to supplant any of the work heretofore taught, but is to be given in correlation with these subjects. It is not the intention to make every boy a farmer or a carpenter, nor every girl a seamstress or cook, but to well as

theoretical work in the school. Next year every teacher will be examined in the subjects of Agriculture and Domestic Science. This year no special license is required of regular teachers of other subjects.

KANSAS Gin YARDS

Receipts of Cattle There Were Nearly 100,000 in a Week—Go to Other States To Re Fed.

Kansas Cily Stockyards, Sept. 8.— More than ninety-five thousand cattle were received here last week, exclusive of 8,000 calves received. Stockmen from various stales were here in large numbers, and absorbed the supply of thin cattle in a remarkable way, total shipments to country points being 48,000 head for the week. The total was especially noteworthy, following, as it did a week when more than 45,000 head were taken by the same trade.

Iowa and Illinois were the heaviest buyers, though many cattle went, to Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and other states east of the Mississippi River. Rangemen also seized the change to get young cattle and breeding stock. Twentytwo cars of cheap stock cattle went lo Utah, costing $5.25 to $5.75. Montana men bought eight cars of breeding cows, and some choice breeders were sent to Portland, Oregon, samples of the widespread demand now existing for immature cattle and breeders. Fourteen cars of cattle were sent out by one order buyer, ranging from stock calves weighing 450 pounds, at $7.50, to good dehorned feeders, weighing 800 to 950 at $7.10 to $?.50, and choice heavy feeders at $7.80 to $7.90, around 1,250 pounds average. Commission men say many bare spots for cattle remain in Iowa and Illinois, and that Indiana and Ohio are badly in need of stock cattle and feeders. Indiana cattle men here last week stated that there was considerable old corn in their state, and that the new crop was large.

Receipts here today amount to 21,000 cattle, to which must be added 6,000 head held over from last week. Forecasts as to receipts the balance of this week favor a heavy run, as no ram has fallen anywhere in the dry section, and lack of stock water has made the situation acute.

The market is steady on killing grades, top, heavy prime steers at $9.10 Kansas grass killing steers, $6.50 to $7.90, quarantine grass steers, $5.25 to $6.50 veals calves up lo $10, stock steers, $5.50 to $7.35 feeders, $5.75 to $7.75.

A $10,000 SUIT IS RESULT OF ACCIDENT

Floyd Miller, of Carthage, is Defendant in Suit Filed By Woman Injured at Indianapolis.

Anna M. Harris, by her next friend, Ida P. Harris, her mother, has brought suit against Floyd Miller, of Carthage, for $10,000 for injuries alleged to have been received by the plaintiff in Indianapolis, the 29th of June, this year. Miss Harris is 18 years of age, and in the complaint, which was filed Tuesday by Smith, Cambern & Smith, of Rushville, her attorneys, she says that before the injury she was ca-~ pable of earning $35 per week, but is now totally disabled.

In the complaint she says that she was a passenger on a southbound Illinois street car, and started to get off at Washington and Illinois streets. The accident, she alleges, occurred about 5:35 in the evening. An automobile owned and operated by Mr. Miller, the complaint alleges, was being driven south on Illinois street to the right of the street car, and as she stepped off she was run down, due to the carelessness, so the complaint states, of the defendant. The machine passed over her head, breast and shoulders and besides sustaining numerous bruises, jured the spine permanently.
