LEAK IN GASOLINE TANK

Blew Up the Automobile and Seriously Burned the Five Occupants—(Rher Accidents. Lafayette, Ind., August 19.—With the machine running at a speed of 35 rqiles an hour the gasoline tank of a large touring car owned by Thomas Denman, a wealthy retired farmer of Boswell, west of here, sprang a leak to-day and an explosion followed, which set fire to the machine, burning two of the occupants, probably fatally, and injuring the three others severely. In the front seat were William Coffenberg, who conducts a theater at Boswell, and the driver, Leo Schuessler. In the rear seat were Ralph Sear, Mr. Denman and Warren Mankey, all of Boswell. They had spent the morning in Lafayette. The accident occurred at what is known as the old half-way house, two miles east of Otterbein, on the Lafayette road. When the men in the auto found flames all around them they jumped from the machine and fell over each other in the road. Their clothes were on fire, and Mr. Sear was picked up in the road with his clothes still burning. The auto, without a driver, ran into a fence and was entirely consumed by the flames. All the men were taken to Otterbein by Ray Kiger, a farmer, who lives near the scene of the accident, and placed in the City Hospital, where Dr. Learning attended them. Schuessler, Coffenberg and Mankey were able to go to their homes after their burns were dressed, byt Denman knd Sear were found to tie in a serious condition. The auto was purchased Mr. Denman only a few weeks agS.

WHERE MARSHALL STANDS.

Democratic Candidate for Governor States His Position Clearly. Indianapolis. Ind., August 17. All doubt as to where Thomas R. Marshall, Democratic nominee for Governor, shall stand on the local option issue during the campaign was removed by him in a statement issued to-day in which he declared that he shall stick to his own platform, which advocates the township and ward unft. • if I thought," said he, "that county local option would be a more effective temperance measure than township local option, 1 would tell the people of Indiana so in pretty quick time, but 1 would resign my place on the Democratic ticket. •‘The Democrat who believes that the liquor business should be abolished entirely should not vote for me—he should vote the Prohibition ticket. “If there is a member of my party in Indiana who believes that t£e liquor business should be abolished entirely he should not vote for me: he can conscientiously do nothing but support the prohibition ticket, the only party whieft is committed to such a policy.” The statement was called forth by publication of rumors that Marshall had weakened on his own platform and Would in his second keynote speecn at Salem next Saturday practically declare for local option as advocated by the Republicans. It was said that he intended to declare then that he would sign a county local option measure if the Legislature saw fit to enact one. He stated, however, that if he thought county local option better than township and ward local option he would not wait until Saturday to say so, but he would resign from the Democratic ticket if he should change front. “I knew what the Democratic platform contained when 1 was nominated," he added. “If the ideas promulgated had not been such that I >could conscientiously and fearlessly champion them I never would have consented to make the race. Marshall said that his party is right on the temperance question, and that t'he indications are that the people will indorse it, believing the party to be sincere in the matter. “Let no one be mistaken," he continued. “The party is committed to this policy, and it will be carried out if the Democratic ticket is accorded public, approval.”

THE MINUET.

*What do you think, girls—that old maid, Hepslbab Springer, is going to dance at our May festival! JDid you ever hear of. anything more ridiculous?’ And Dorothy Palmer tossed her head disdainfully at the thought of what to her seemed an unwarrantable proceeding. “Oh,* do tell us all about it, Dolly, dear! Come, tell us all you know.” “Well that will not take her very long,” chimed in one of the sweet girls, who did not regard Dorothy in a very favorable light, “I mean, of course, dear, it will not take you long to tell the story, for it is well known you have a wonderful faculty of condensing a vast amount of information in a few most refreshingly pungent remarks.” “If you girls will only be quiet,” remarked Dorothy, “I will tell you the little I know. /Today I went to Miss Villiers’ dancing class to practice the Maypole trot, and who should walk In but Hepsey. Miss Villiers bad one of her wretched headaches and was about to dismiss the class when what did that antiquated maiden do but step forward and volunteer to put the young folks through their paces. “Well, in justice to our village spinster, she knows a thing or two about steps, and Villiers became so interested that she forgot her headache and was most profuse in her compliments. *My dear Miss Hepsey,’ she said, ‘I thought myself capable of teaching these children, but here are you capable of teaching me. Will you not continue to assist me? Will you not introduce some old time dance? It will be such an innovation!’

*“I have not danced for years,’ answered Hepsey, and, would you believe it, girls, there were tears, in the poor old ‘But,’ she added. ‘I will comply with your request. Let me have my choice of these people and I will put tjiem through the evolutions of a minuet. We will costume in old fashioned clothes suitable for an old fashioned dance. I myself can wear a dress in which I last danced the minuet. almost forty years ago.’” The girls chatted merrily over the affair, and I am afraid poor Miss Hepsey was ridiculed without stint. But Hepsey went about her preparations for the dance with methodical precision. The chosen few who were to be in her set met nightly at her little cottage and to the melody of Mozart’s “Don Juan,” squeaked out of a wheeZJ toned piano, went through the movtz ments of the stately number in a thoroughly satisfactory manner. At last the night of the dance arrived. The town hall was peopled to its fullest capacity, for nearly every family in that and adjacent villages had a representative in one or another of the various dances. Many were there who remembered Miss Hepsey when she was a much younger woman. The gossips chattered among themselves and raked their memories, recallfug events in her early life. Some of them hinted at the cause of her state of single blessedness, if such it could be called, and every one was curious to see her dance.

Miss Hepsey was late in appearing, and her entrance was the cause of no little excitement and some admiration. She wore an old rose silk quilted petticoat. with an elaborately figured silk overdress. An old lace kerchief was folded over her breast, and on her feet were high heeled white slippers somewhat yellowed with age. To crown all, her scant hair was arranged over a cushion. That hair needed no powder. It whs already as white as newly fallen snow. Miss Villiers herself came forward to greet Miss'Hepsey. “Oh, my dear!” she said. “Whatever shall we do? Your partner has not come. I am afraid you will be very much annoyed, but the l>est we can do is to find a substitute for him. A Mr. Brooks, a new arrival in the village, has proffered his services. Do you mind?” If any one had closely observed Ilepsey at that moment it would bave.been noticed that a tinge of color had crept into her usually colorless face. “At such a time as this one cannot choose,” she said. “There Is no other alternative. Mr. Brooks is verj’ kind. I have no doubt that I will find him a most acceptable partner.” A moment later she found herself courtesying to a stately old gentleman who was attired in small clothes, appropriate to the costume of his partner. There was no time for any further exchange of formalities, for just then the orchestra began playing the Mozart air, and the dance i»egan. Poor Miss Hepsey was the personification of the grace of the old school. The audience applauded her every movement, and at the conclusion of the number it had to be repeated. Those who came to scoff remained to admire, and Hepsey. for reasons best known to herself, was supremely happy. It was not long after that when she left her little cottage and went to lire as mistress at the Grange, the finest residence in the place. Then the truth was revealed. Mr. Brooks was none other than' the sweetheart of Hepsey - s youth. The two had quarreled after having danced a minuet, and he had gone away. After forty years, rich, yet faithful, he returned to the woman of his choice. In this last minuet all the unpleasantness of the past was forgotten, and a reconciliation had been the result. . And Miss VHlfers-.\ having learned somewhat of the early state of affairs, ■was the good fairy who was the injstrnment of the reunipn, and in the years that followed she was the esteemed friend of Mrs. Hepsibab Brooks and husband.—Boston Poet.

The MAN of the HOUR

Osmosis In Medicine.

Osmosis is the passage of a liquid or a gas through a membrane. Sometimes medicines are administered in this way. But how far we are from understanding the details of this subject as related to the human body is indicated by some experiments of Professor Lpuis Kahlenberg. All attempts to Introduce lithium salts into the system by absorption through the skin have failed, and yet the same salts make their way readily through the mucous membrane. When the feet are soaked in a solution of hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, an alkaline reaction quickly takes place internally. But citric acid refuses to act the same wimt. although both of the acids have a similar effect when taken through the digestive tract. Sulphuric acid, then, has quite a different physiological effect when it enters through the skin instead of through the mouth. Living membranes act differently with regard to osmosis from dead ones, and the same meifebraues which behave alike with regard to some substances behave very differently from one another with regard to other substances.

A Foe to Malaria.

That most animals have some specific function to perforin is w’ell known. Now scientists claim that a species of -fish exists in Australian waters which feeds on the larvae of mosquitoes and so reduces the prospects of malaria. It belongs to a family of carnivorous or flesh eating fish which is frequently found in the temperate and tropic zones and usually In shallow water. Very sthall In size, being only about one and a half to two inches in length. It has, in the male, yellow and black striped fins, while the eye is of a bright blue. The Bus during certain seasons of the year acquire great brilliancy.
