Two or three years ago. when the price of farm products was under the full headway of its decline, an old farmer was asked what he was doing. "Keeping close to the shore," was the answer. Just now. when business men are feeling their way along with care, taking no unnecessary riks and pretty well satistied to hold their own until the chances for a senseli'ss panic have passed away, it is a fjood time for farmers to adopt the plan of the old farmer and cease spreading their operations over too much ground. Some farmers are making money every year, but as a rule they do not belong to the class that is . reaching out for more land or trying to operate on a large scale. Farm labor is comparatively high, and the price of farm products, notably wheat, cattle ami wool, h very low. It never pays to slight our work, and the cultivation of a big acreage necessarily calls for a big outlay of money, unless the soil is in prime condition and all else is favorable. "When profts are large one can till rather: thin or wet land, or Increase their acreage by renting, and have assurance of a profit from the extra work. Just now it is better to cut down expenses by confining most of the effort to the land that Is in good condition anil let the rest be improving under a system of green manuring. It is not a good time to make new ventures on an extensive scale, or to Involve one's self needlessly. "When "keeping close to sh p " the pood farmer will depend upon the ir;ue of saving fully as much as that of riaking. There is nothing more difficult than stopping wastes. Little losses here and then amount to a great deal within a year. ITow trite this may sound, fellow farmers, but why do we permit these sources of loss to remain? The useless horse we do not sell because prices are low, the cribs that are not rat-proof, the wasting manure that is needed on land, the implements that are rusting and boming weather-beaten in barnyards and fence corners all these are reducing the incomes of manv farm ers, and there is no better time than' the present to put the farm on a business footing. That which cWs not pay must be discarded. That "way which brings poor results must be changed. AH classes are Inclined to think that their own lot is the leqst desirable. When business men are anxious, fearing a sacrifice of their property, we may do well to consider the safetv of our occu pation. Panics may come and go, but the farmer who kee s close to shore is absolutely saf?. His capital is in his farm, and the excitements of money centers affect its value very little. Profits are small, but they may be made pretty sure if we tend more and more to intensive rather than- extensive farm lng. "He that tilleth the soil shall have plenty of bread." said Solomon. Let us have a less unequal taritY and fewer Niur.tie.s of r.ll kinds, anil the farmers. by "keeping o!.e to shore," can weather all the financial storms that brew. It is a good time to go slow. I)n try Nostrum. The actual value of a box of the focalled black pepsin Is only a few cents. says Farmers' Bulletin, No. 12. issued by the department of agriculture, and therefore the enormous profits which are made in its manufacture and sale at $2.."i) a box can weil be imagined. It is not believed that any further exposition of this bare-faced fraud is necessary. e have made an attempt to obtain samples of ail the various compounds which are sold for producing the effects described. There are many of them, however, which we are not able to gf-t. Farmers can rest assured that any substance which is presented to them for the purpose of increasing the yield of butter above that of the normal belongs to some such class of fraud as has been exposed in this bulletin. The proper way for increasing the yield of butter is to secure a breed of cows giving milk with a high content of butter fat, providing the animals proper nourishment and keeping them in a clean and healthv condition. The proper treatment of a herd of cows, toKeiner wnn neatness in the dairy, not only will give an increased yield of butter, but will also enable the pro ducer to get an increased price. The best method of making a rood and sweet butter in large quantities Is careful selection of cows and careful ieernng ana care In the dairy. The proper attention to neatness and the sterilization of the vessels used about the dairy will secure the erowth r.f ferment which properly ripens the cream ana excludes other ferments. which produce all kinds of injurious cnHng-9 in tne milk. All vessels used In the dairy should be subjected everv dav fur some time to th temperature of boiling water, to absolutely exclude all putrescent bodies and fermentative processes from the dairy, save those wmcn are necessary to the normal ripen ing or me cream, The farmer who at. tends to these details will have no oc casion to invest his monev in fran.ln. lent nostrums for Increasing the orodncf of hin dairy and the magnitude of his profits. CnrriuiN for Market. K. P. Powell, a well-known hortii ultUral writer, has the following to ear about a neglected fruit: 'The currant crop should be one of our largest. The market is always good. The dmand Is never met by the supply. I never fail to obtain 8 centn a pound, and this year I have marketed all my crop at 10 cents. The fruit pays at 5 cents a pound.' The bushes need strong, moist, but not wet oil. They should be kept clean and in a high state of culture, but they like par tial shrulf. I grow them in the same rows with red raspberries, alternating the bushes. The varities best for market ar Versailles and Fay. There is little difference between these, and the preference is for Versailles. Fay is hardly lisungujsriaoie rrom tne Versailles. It la iw4frnjfrt.n Im I... ..V. t x . . . inoiuuT rut in i..mjii uim Dunen, i lie Cherry has a short bunch, pome years very short. It Is also a comparatively poor cropper, and is not well flavored. The sweetest currant is White Dutch; but when not very well grown It is over !edy and small. White Grape Ls the nrst or an currants for the table, it Is thin-sxinmvl. not over sedy, large, hand some with superb bunches, a great cropper, and delirious in flav'or. The cur rant has the advantage of hanging on the bushes for several weeks, and is In order for the tabl.for at least two months. On Pl.ould have a few bushes of PrlncV- Albert to lengthen out the yenf fi. Th-Cranf"j!l is. a psre native, somewhat improved. The flavor is pleasant, bnt no improvement on that of the varieties grown for ornament. The preparation of the currant is ensy. Take cut'ing3 a foot In length; fcet these into the soil In a dry place In Oftober or November, pa k down the dirt very tithtly and leave th-.m until sprin. Then a Pirt will l found to have rooted, while the rest v. ill hive calloused anl are ready for rimting if you desire. In

setting such small plants pack the earth

very tightly about them. It Is the secret of success. The only enemy the j currant hfs generally Is the wellknown worm that defoliates the plant. White hellebore dusted on will kill them. The best method of applying la to mix two tablespoon fuls of hellebore in a pail of water with one tablespoonful of kerosene. Riley's emulsion of kerosene is easily made and kept on hand. It is , the best way of using it. I apply exactly the same mixture to Itose-slups. Two generations of worms appear each season, and both must be killed. One of them hatch while the fruit is settlnp; the other as It is ripenlnjr. The hellebore should be applied the last time without kerosene, as it Is sticky and helps dust to adhere to the fruit." AY heat Tumi ii v to (heat. According to Prof. Massey, the onlyway to kill out the cheat superstition Is to educate the children in the proper and accurate observance of plant de velopment and a knowledge of the laws which govern it. It Is of no sort of use to discuss the matter with those who have had this old superstition hand ed down to them from th-ir fathers, and it will only die out as men are educated by the handling and investigation of nature instead of by an exclusive study of books. It is astonishing to a student of nature how little men really see and how much they imagine they see. The great trouble about the cheat question is that few. even among farmers, have ever studied grasses close enough to recognize them until, they make their llower heads, and many a man has watched all spring a patch of what he thinks is wheat and never discovered that it was cheat until it headed out, and then ho remembers that a calf or a goose grazed on that spot and at orce jumps to the conclusion that the wheat had changed to cheat, when It was cheat all the time. No one has ever yet grown a head of cheat on a whe.it plant, nor a head of wheat on a cheat plant. Nature makes no mistakes. If you plant an acorn you will never get a maple tree from it, and if you plant a cheat seed you will certainly get a plant of cheat. The grass commonly called chess or cheat is brotnus seealinus. a grass of an entirely distinct genius and species from wheat, which is tritkum, and they cannot be made to cross nor mix in any manner. Cheat's hardier and better able to take care of itself than wheat is, and its seeds will remain in the ground for a long time, until some fresh plowing puts them within reach of heat and air. Wheat generally changes to cheat close around the farm build ings and seldom in remote fields, unless manure containing cheat seed is hauled there. The fact is, fowls eat the seed of both. They digest the wheat and pass the hard cheat seed, so in picking where the wheat was sown, they get the wh ?at and scatter the cheat, and the farmer takes the green leaves for the wheat he sowed, never having learned to observe. Sunnier fare of Fnrm Tennm. A correspondent of the National Stock man says: "It is the nim of every farmer to have pasture for his teams during corn plowing and harvesting. This pasture should always be good, the best found on the farm. The horses will feed be fore they rest, and it is not desirable that they put in the whole night feed ing and come to the barns in the morning worn out. There is no d übt about horses being fed too mnuh orii in the corn-growing regions. m' so much on account of farmers believing that it is the best grain ration, but because it is the most convenient. Oats in the corn belt is not a profitable crop, and the byproducts of the mills fanners will not purchase, hence corn perforce becomes the exclusive grain ration. One of the greatest objections to corn, aside from its heating nature, is its too liberal use. Tc much is usually fed. This is true especially when the team Is not at work. "In the matter of feeding hay as a rule too much is given. Some horses are ruined, not on account of the poor quality of the hay fed. but because too much is fed. It is not good feeding to go to the stable one hour after the horses have been fed and lind a large feed of hay still lying before them. It would be much better to find the manger empty. "With the rush of plowing, planting and corn cultivation teams come to tinharvest work more or less Jaded. During the hot harvest weather every good farmer will favor bis teams as much as possible. We distinctly cull to mini! how we used to work the teams from early morning till noon, and from noon till rundown, without water; and how we used to get tired waiting for the teams to eat their evening ration so we could turn them out to pasture and be off to bed. We have of late years tried to improve on this old-time custom, not yet obsolete. During harvest if the weather is excessively hot we water the horses about the middle of th forenoon. When we come to nupper at 5 o'clock the teams are brought in. watered and fed. They go back to the field rested and fresh for a rush the rest of the evening If need be." Future of the 1 1 or we Ilreeder. A writer in the American Dairyman thinks that the future of the horse breeder is a matter of moment at this time. The advent of electricity as a motor for surface cars is displacing large bodies of horses that were formerly used for such purposes. To this we must add roads that are using and are about to adopt cables. These throw on the market a large contingent of ani mals. The presence of such a volume of horses, far in excess of the needs of buyers, ruins prices. The bicycle is another factor that is replacing the hoi so in some degree. It3 extended use. in the near future will enlarge this very materially. Ytt with this decreased demand the supply d not indicate diminution. The breeder seems to be in tent on the production of that class of horse in largest quantity for which there ls least inquiry. The demand which the surface railroads created for horses while they depended on them for motive power is rapidly passing away in every section of the country. The class of animal, suited for that work w ill gradually disappear. Under these changed conditions we believe the breed ers would do wisely if they paused long enough to learn the demands of the horse market of the immediate futur:.. That these would be circumscribed is evident when the causes we have mentioned are recalled. Of course, the farmer will breed the horse that Iwst meets his requirements, but the breeder must await the settling of the market that it may formulate the classes of horses that are most profitable for him to breed and sell. Tlie Corn I'roapeet. .The heat and moisture throughout much of the corn belt In July has made rapid growth possible, and with an acreage 2.000,000 larger than that of last year a large crop is now promised. The condition this year ls a little above that reported in July, 18U1, when the largest cron ever grown was made. It is too early to make any estimates, but a guess SZV RAD Fl ELD'S REGULATOR iU4 promt an In fa Infallible e)cc:uo for all dcraiiso. Irmaleacx.ftuih aschronio wo ob arider a run diseases.

THE CHURCH:

"Simmons Liver Regulator is certainly a ppecitic for that class of complaints which it claims to cure. If any of our fellow beings are suffering from hepatic disorders and have doubts in regard to the efiicacy of this popular preparation, we can only offer them the simple and candid argument of Philip to Nathaniel, "Come and see." "Try the proposed remedy and then you can juil:?e for yourselves." Rev. Uavid "Wills, pastor of Presbyterian church, W.-uhlnston, D. C. THE JUDICIARY: "I uesed Simmons Liver Regulator for Constipation caused by a derangement of the llver.and always, when use according to directions, with decided benefit. " Hiram Warner, late Chief Justice of Georgia. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION: "No other remedy within my knowledge can h'.l its place. I have been practicing medicine for twenty years and have never teen able to put up a vegetable compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regulator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to action and at the same time aid, instead of weakening the digestive powers of the system." L. M. Hinton, M. O., Washington, Ark. of 2.000.000,000 is hazarded. Wheat is so very low and stock hogs so scarce ap parently that a high price is not now anticipated, and old corn is not commanding the price many anticipated last fall. Those who have the hogs will find the best market for their corn on the farm this year. Still, in line with what was said in this department recently, we caution our readers not to pay any excessive price for stock hogs, as the prices of last year cannot reasonably be looked for again. Good prices should be obtained, but with all the shortage In pigs, enough remain to supply the requirements in view of the very low price of cattle and sheep. Horticultural Note. The "County Gentleman" contains the following good points: Apply liquid manure to force rapid and full maturity of choice crops. Use hard-wood ashes liberally on all garden truck, small fruits und orchard trees. Stir the soil to conserve moisture and promote plant growth, as well as to kill weeds. Let the sheep and poultry run In the orchard and consume wormy fruit and insects. We must spray Paris green and copper compounds, to produce sound marketable fruits. Ui sure and commence early to thin fruit upon trees and vines that have set the same too freely. Where fruit is thinned the parent plant is exhausted far less than when the entire crop ls permitted to remain. Port all fruit very carefully and send same to market neatly packed in attractive packages. This point must not be slighted. Live off the best your land produces. Do not stint yourself for sake of having moro, produce to sell. Get all you can out of life. Set out young fruit plants and trees every year. Do your share toward making the earth to blossom and be tilled with fruitfulne.is. A good mulch keeps down weeds and renders the soil lxse, moist and porous at .nil times, and that, too, with little labor of cultivation. In making sales, get as near the consumer as possible. Many commission and middlemen's profits leave little for the producer to receive for his products. Ib member that oftentimes by the removal of fully half the fruit the rema ipder produces as much bulk and seiis for more money than the whole would if all had been ieft on. Nitrate of soda can be used with benefit on all crops. It is immediately available, and should therefore be only employed in connection with plants in an active stage of growth. There Is far too little mulching done. Small fruits, trees and garden crops are given a most favorable opportunity for attaniing the highest perfection and de velopment when their roots are covered with a thick mat of leaves, hay or other suitable material. A FIXK A II T. How to Mnkp Meely Meat nml Oilier SniidTvicheH. For meat and other sandwiches, cut pliees of bread about one-eighth of an inch thieh; then, with a sharp knif, cut off all the crust, leaving trim, straight edges; butter each. slice and cut across the center, or with two more sharp cuts, shape each piece into the form of a triangle, making the three sides as nearly even as possible, and fold carefully together. Once having learned the right quality of bread to use, how to cut evenly, butter smoothly and fold exactly, the sandwich may be varied indefinitely. Slice ham or tongue to almost paper thinness, and lay between buttered bread. Koast beef, ham and thicken should be chopped tine and sea soned before spreading, ami a delicious variety is made by using thin slices of hamburg loaf. In making cheese sandwiches or sand Wiehes of smoked fish or sardines, use if possibly, bread made from some form of the entire wheat tine Drown nour, This will cut smoothly ' without crumbs Spread with sauce Tartar and then with the cheese or hsh. To make egg sandwiches, boy fresh eggs five minutes, plunge them into cold water and leave until cold; this will prevent any discoloration of the yolks, which sometimes darken if left to cikjI otherwise. To chop the eggs use a knife and plate, season with salt, pepper and a little mustard and spread on the buttered bread. For nastuitium or lettuce sandwiches the llowers or vegetable should be very fresh and crisp. Spread the bread with mayonnaise dressing instead of butter, and add finely-torn lettuce leaves or a stem of nasturtium, with leaves and fiower. just before serving. The "premium sandwich" is made as follows: IJreak a r-esh egg in a bowl and beat thoroughly, add one and one-half cupfuls of sweet milk, a saltspoonrul of salt and a tablespoonful of melted butter; beat well, and add lightly one and three-fourths cupfuls of sifted flour mixed with one and onehalf teaspomfuls of baking powder; bake in roll-shaped gem pans. When cool, cut lengthwise with a sharp knife, whic h will not crumble the crust. Spread thinly with butter and cover with finelychopped roast mutton slightly salted The mutton must not be overdone, but a trille rare. As they are cut, lay the two parts of each mutfin next each other, so that they may fit when put together. Good Housekeeping. Vnlunlile It eel pea. To Can Tomatoes Peal and cut; If very large cut twice, but if not very large once is enough. Put in a pre serving kettle what will fill the can, with a teacupful of sugar if for two quarts (no water), and just heat them through or come to a boll, then can. When opened in winter they ars fresh tomatoes and taste 1 though just from the vines. Do not warm them If it is desired to retain the refreshing flavor and aroma that Is so delightful. Peach Rolls. Make puff paste as fof Pies; spread on the peaches, which Fhould be well stewed, mashed very fine and flavored to taste. Have it long enough to roll over five times; put them In a bake pan with a little flour, sugar and butter: almost cover then with boil lng water. P.a-ke three-quarters of an hour. For dip. take one large spoonful of flour, a piece of . butter as large as an egg, a teacupful of sugar, a pint and a half of boiling water, two tablespoonfuls of nrandy, and boll ten minutes. Ftewed Green Pefts. One quart of peas, one lettuce, one onion, two ounces of butter. peppr and salt to taste, one egg, half a teaspoonful of powdered sugar. Pholl the peas and cut the onion and lettuce into slices; put these into a stewpan, with the butter, oeDber and ealt. but with no more water

than that which hangs round the lettuce from washing. Stew the whole

very gently for rather more than one hour; then stir to it a well-beaten egg and about half a teaspoonful of powdered sugar. When the peas, etc., are nicely thickened, serve: but. after the egg is added, do not allow them to boil. Preserved Blackberries To Dreserve them allow three-quarters of a pound of ugar to one pound of fruit. Stir the sugar with the blackberries, adding a cup of blackberry juice, with a half pound of sugar to prevent the fruit burning in the kettle. Water ran be added for this purpose as well as black berry juice, but the addition of water to any preserve weakens its flavor and neessitates cooikng it a longer time than would otherwise be required. In the case of most berries and all delicate fruits, the longer they are cooked the more flavor ls lost. Let the sugar gradually melt over the berries at the back of the stove. Then bring them for. ward, let them boil up over the fire and cook for about ten minutes. Seal them up rapidly in cans. N. Y. Tribune. Blackberry Cordial Blackberry cordial. which is a famous old-time preparation. ls put up. in many families purely as a medicine, its efficiency being generally acknowledged. Put about four quarts of blackberries into a stone jar and set the jar in a pot of warm water over the fire. Let the water boil for half an hour. At the end of this time strain the berries, pressing out all the juice. Add half a pound of sugar to every pint of juice. apd to every two pounds of sugar used half an ounce each of powdered cinna mon, powdered allspice, and grated nut meg. Let the mixture boil for two hours. Add half a pint of pure French brand v to. every quart used in the preparation. Hottle the mixture and set it away for about three months to become mellowed. It will keen for years, and that which is to be used one sum mer should be prepared the summer be fore. X. Y. Tribune. Blackberry Jam For blackberry jam allow three-quarters of a iound of sugar to a pound of fruit. Mix the sugar with the fruit and set it at the back of the fire till the juice begins to show, mashing the fruit a little to assist in the process. Then bring the fruit forward and let it cook, stirring it repeatedly for about one hour. It must boil rather rapidly to become properly reduced. Test it before putting it in the Jars by cooling a little of it to see that it has become properly thickened. Pour it into porcelain marmalade jars and let it cool for 24 hours before sealing it up. Press brandy papers close over the Jim. These consist simply of white paper dipped In brandy. Seal up the marmalade jars with paper, using the white of an egg for muc ilage. Tie a layer of cotton batting over each jar to make assurance doubly sure that it will keep. Mark each jar separately with its contents when you put it away. N. Y. Tribune. To Can Blackberries To can blackber ries allow a cup of sugar to two cups of water for every can of fruit. Let this sirup boil up over the fire for ten min utes. Fill cans with the fruit. Cover them with the sirup, which need not be cooled for this purpose, but may be used moderately warm, as the blackberry is not a very delicate fruit like the strawberry and the raspberry. Put on the covers of the Jars without the rubbers, or. in case the new patent jars are used, leave the vent open. Set the jars on a rack in warm water reaching up to their necks. There should be wi?ps of hay or cloths put between the jars to prevent their knocking together. Let the jars cook in this way for ten minutes after the water has begun to boil. Take them out. take off the covers and put on the rubbers. If the sirup around the fruit has boiled down fill the cans up to the brim with more sirup. Screw on the covers as tightly as possible, or, in case of the patent jars, close the vent when the jars are cool; tighten them again If they are screw jars. Wrap them each in paper and set them away in a dark closet where the temperature will not rise above 70 degrees. It is not safe to keep any preserves above this tempera ture, though many do not suffer from it. Canned blackberries make delicious pies and puddings. J. Y. Tribune. Preserved Huckleberries for Winter Pies A few housekeepers can huckle berries, but this is an elaborate and ex tensive and not, specially successful way of preparing them for winter use. The syrup cannot be utilized in pies. The old fashioned method of preserving them for winter in molasses, though it sounds coarse to cultivated tastes, is the most successful one. The molasses does not affect the fruit seriously, as it would certainly ruin any more delicate fruit. The berries may be taken out. washed free from molasses, and made into pies any time during the winter, and they will keep till warm weather, provided they are kept in a coed place About a tablespoonful of pure cider vinegar should be added to each pie to correct the somewhat insipid sweetness of the fruit when fresh berries are used; and some housekeepers add a cup of vinegar to every quart of molasses when they put up their huckleberries for pitc Binse the fruit which is to be prepared for winter carefully, rejecting the numerous green berries and leaves that are likely to be found among them, and also all wilted speoimenfl. Lse only firm, large, ripe fruit. Put them in a large stone jar and cover them with good. sound molasses. Set them in a cold place In the cellar., seal them up, and do not disturb them till cold weather. when they may be opened and the her ries used from time to time, being kept under the simple earthen cover of the jar. A cup of vinegar is certainly an addition. Pies made from huckleberries put up in this way are a great deal better than those made from dried fruit or fruit canned in a more elabroate way. N. Y.

A REJOINDER TO DEPAUVV

I DEFENSE OF THE POSITIOX OF MKSSItS. O'HAIR. AXD XEL.SOX. The Facnlty und Its Supporter Charged with Conducting the War fare In an 1'nderhn nded Manner Counter Cbargri Made .V Itevlew of the Records of the Two Student Who They Are and What They Have Accomplished. GREENCASTLE, July SO. Special. For the past week articles have been ap pearing in the columns of the press con cerning a difficulty which occurred be tween Prof. Longdon and Mr., Frank O'llair. The great majority of the accounts has come from the professor and his side. who seem to think that the affair was one of alarming and serious magnitude. In their overzeal to cripple O'llair in the public estimation they have so far forgotten themselves as to stoop to petty and unheard-of personalities which never took place and which no person living has ever been, or is now, manly enough to back until they have lost their hold on the substantial element of Greencastle, and the public generally must certainly condemn such a dark-handed and criminal method of warfare. Everything Mr. O'llair has done and everything he has said has been without reserve, manly and. open to the public. while scarcely one open and aboveboard act has characterized the entire pro ceedings of Prof. Longdon and his supporters. They have chosen the backdoor and sneaking; methods of the coward. Crouching behind such phrases as. "it is rumored" or "thev were sus pected," etc., they have endeavored to blacken the characters of and do injury to two young men who have always stood so high as none etood higher in the estimation of the citizens of Greencastle. They are young men of ability and honor, and no man, woman or child has ever dared to accuse them of being guilty of any such thing as was coward ly and villainously intimated in several contributions to the press. If the faculty of DePauw university or any one else would have this community or the public to believe that a felony has been committed by these young men and that "gold" saved them from a felon's fate, let them come right out and eay it, and not sneak down be hind a cowardly, "It was rumored so." Of course, it might have been rumored among a certain class of people, but does that make it a fact? If Messrs. O'Hair and Nelson should care to deal with rumors those who are now vainly endeavoring to persecute them would furnish a most excellent and seasonable opportunity, but these young men heartily disdain to stoop to such low-lived and dark-handed practices even in war. If the faculty would fight them, with any chance of success, it must climb up a plain or so higher, at least to where their accepted foes are. for subterfuge and stealth and the stab in the back are neither practiced nor respected in honorable warfare. They become the coward and the thief, but not a faculty of Christian pretensions. As has been said, rumors prejudicial and compromising to the 'acuity and the university are abundant about Greencastle today, but Messrs. O'Hair and Nelson have scorned the suggestion of their use. They have chosen rather to do nothing but what ls open and aboveboard and to announce nothing but what is a provable fact. They regard some of the members of the faculty as gentlemen of the very highest possible stamp, but for some of them they have no respect whatever, and as for their reasons, they have not hesitated to openly and frankly say that while they were in the institution one of the pedagogues, and one, by the way, who filled an important chair this last year in the university, belied his fellow-instructors and falsely represented himself to a reputable business firm in this country for the paltry sum of $1.20. They have said that Dr. John, over whose name the faculty's statement appeared, and Prof. Longdon, who assaulted O'Hair the other morning with a knife, are willful liars and give in substantiation of their statement to that effect affidavits of some of the most prominent and highly respected people in this part of the country. Why are not members r.f the faculty equally frank and bold? If O'Hair and Nelson had anything to do with the vandalism at the Faternity hall why don't some member of the DePauw faculty show his colors? If Nelson with his "gold" bomrht either the Injured parties or their detective now that he defies them why don't they come out and say so? If they want to carry7 anything to the public let them unmask it. and get under it, and carry it to the public with their personal Indorsement, and not push it out from their hiding places under a guise as a humbug and a fraud. The public to whose attention this matter has been brought, in the interest of Justice, demand answera to these questions. Now as to the positions of the students who have drawn up resolutions which form a pprt of most of the newspaper accounts. Out of 1,000 students whom the university claims to have when in operation and out of seventy-five or eighty now In attendance on the summer school but twenty-eight have signed the resolutions. These . twenty-eight were partly tutors and substitutes and the remainder were students In good standing and doubtless of good Intentions, but who were evidently misled at the time. They signed the resolutions without knowing the facts in the case and evidently without having made an endeavor to know the true facts, the resolutions having been circulated by a couple of tutors, whose Jobs dejrfmd upon their doing the bidding of the faculty, and but a short time after the occurrence with an apparent effort to stampede the students into a rash and condemnable action. The friends of the young men are gratified to know, however, that. the great majority of the students had stamina sufficient to postlvely refuse to sign it. As to the cause of Prof. Longdon's unfriendliness to Mr. O'Hair and Miss Nelson, Messrs. O'Hair and Nelson have never claimed It was because of the broken attachment between Mr. Nelson and the professor's sister-in-law, Miss Grace Johnson, but since the professor's backers have thrown down the challenge on this point and .complimented Miss Johnson's good Judgment we feel free to speak our mind. Of this matter the citizens of Greencastle have had an opportunity to judge and would probably suggest that the young lady might have exercised some of her good Judgment in more delicate matters. The professor and his friends are very unwise to venture far on this point, for though Mr. Nelson, through his respect for Miss jonnson, nas refused absolutely to say anything in regard to this matter, yet sufficient is known generally to satisfy the public mind. It is extremely unfortunate for Miss Johnson that Prof. Longdon and his friends should drag her Into an affair of which she forms no part, but it is in keeping with their cohduct in attempting to besmirch Miss Nelson'3 record as a student because of the encounter between the professor and Mr. O'Hair. Now who are these young men whom the faculty of DePauw university deem worthy their fteel and whom the professor and his friends have eo violently assailed? Mr. O'Hsir has for the past six years been a student of DePauw university, and a glance at the university record will show that he has been at the very head of his clans in scholarship, accomplishing both the course in the college of libel al arts and law school, and from the uosltlons ha has held at

the hands of the students he ranks No. 1 as a man. When his class graduated from the preparatory school Mr. O'Hair was selected by the faculty to appear on the commencement program, and this last year he was selected by his class to write one - of the plays which met with such remarkable success in the senior class day performance. Being prominent in political circles he organized the most successful democratic club ever organized in the university and stumped central Indiana and eastern Illinois in behalf of the successful cause. Mr. Nelson, for the past two years, has been a student in the University of Michigan, during which time he took in addition to the regular law course half of the required work in the literary department. In that university exemption grades are given on class records, and it is hut fair and just to Mr. Nelson to say that he was never compelled to take an examination in that far-famed institution. He was made a member of and elevated to the highest position in the renowned legal fraternity of Phi Lelta Phi. and at the annual banquet, held last February at the Russell house in Detroit, he acted as toast-master. At this banquet sat such men as ex-Chief Justice Bipelow of Massachusetts, the Hon. Don M. Dickerson of Detroit, Judge Cooley of Ann Arbor and others of national prominence. At a banquet given by U. S. District Attorney Whitman in honor of Justice Iirown of the U. S. supreme court Mr. Nelson responded to a toast on behalf of the legal fraternity. He entered the race for oratorical honors in the oratorical leae, winning first place in his class of 350; first place in the law school, numbering over six hundred, and second honors in the state. In the final contest the grades were so close that the percentage system of marking would have thrown the victory to Nelson by 20 per cent., but by the ranking system which prevailed he was beaten by but one point. Mr. Nelson has also taken an active interest in politics, and last campaign was employed by the state central committee of Illinois to stump the central portion of the state in the interest of republicanism. These young men of high family standing, of moral attainment and intellectual worth are the young men whom some, of the DePauw faculty have seen fit to damage, if they could, simply because Mr. O'Hair, in defense of his person from the angry possibilities of a drawn and threatening knife, knocked one of its number down. In conclusion we submit to the reasoning public if it ls in any way creditable to the members of the DePauw faculty that in their warfare with a member of the student body they should desert the point at issue; abandon entirely the case in hand because of their straightened condition and busy themselves to go back and search out what some might call a little youthful indiscretion of a student which took place four or five years ago and attempt to parade it before the public gaze a capital felony. Is not that in itself sufficient evidence that there is "something rotten in DenJ. M. ALLEN. COAST SlItVEY CHANGES. It In Said Secretary CnrlUlr Will Chop Oil Some Heads. WASHINGTON, July 30. The Post says: "A radical reorganization of the j coast survey is contemplated by Secre tary Carlisle. Some of the changes may lequire congressional action. The work ol reform will begin by the usual method of chopping off heads in order that the administration may have men of its own selection to assist in carrying out the reorganization. It has been patent, it is said, to the treasury department secretaries for many years that there should be a business head as well as a scientific one to the coast survey. "Experience, it is declared, has Fhown that the scientific mind is not fond of the hum-drum details of business and when forced to give attention to dollars ! and cents, the result ls not satisfactory. i Prof. Mendenhall, it is reported, will be retained In his purely scientific capacity and some one placed in charge of all financial and executive matters. This j officer will make all purchases, attend to tne assignment 01 neiu parwes, aim, in general, see to the carrying out of plans. The coast survey has bo outgrown its original scope and objects that a division of the work is now considered absolutely essential. Mr. Carlisle's attention has been attracted to the matter by the accounting officers, who experience difficulty in reconciling the operation of the scientific head of the office with "the requirements of the treasury methods. The modifications deemed necessary will l inaugurated at an early day, though it ls realized that congressional action will be necessary : before the ocmplete reorganization de sired can be accomplished.' dc.vi:h IS UlIET. 1'rte Soup, lloweirr, la a DrnwInK Card fur the Trump.
