Last Friday a woman living between this place and Ayr named Rogers, at one time a resident of the Jasper county poor farm, and later a burden to some of the people of this county, took a shot at Clarence Blankenbaker and wife while passing the place of her daughter, Mrs. Noah Yoder, with whom she is making her home. Blankenbaker swore out an affidavit for her arrest and Constable Joe Whiting went out and broght her in, and a hearing was given her before Esq. Knapp, who bound her over to the circuit court, and since that time she has been in the care of Sheriff Sawyer at Kept.land. Together with a weak mind she has a very unsavory reputation, and is a person, if all reports can be credited, who may not only be dangerous but should be taken care of and placed in some asylum for the vicious moral character.—Brook Reporter.

LAKE WATER CONDEMNED.

Too Filthy For Use at Hammond and Elsewhere. Hammond, Ind., Jan. 15. Owing to the filth and refuse turned into Lake Michigan by the American Maize Products Company at Roby, the drinking water used by the cities of Hammond. Whiting and Robertsdale has been condemnd by the State authorities. The water is so bad that it can not be used for bathing purposes and the attention of the Federal authoriies has been called to the dumping of glucose refuse in the lake by the Maize Products Company. So poisonous is the contamination of the water that fish are dying by the thousands in Lake Michigan near the Hammond pumping station. The stench of the water is so bad that people have been forced to quit bathing in it and patrons of barbershops have walked out in disgust after the lather has been put on their faces. The Hammond Board of Health says it is powerless to stop the manufacturing company from polluting the water. Secretary Hurty, of the Indiana State Board of Health, says It has power to prevent the pollution and says the Hammond Board of Health is responsible. H. E. Barnard, State food and drug commissioner, said to-day that the residents of Hammond were consuming dally great quantities of nitrogen in the water taken from Lake Michigan for domestic purposes, and that the conditions prevailing in the place are very bad. The State board is powerless to act in the matter, and the only recourse, according to Mr. Barnard, is for the Hammond Water Supply Company, the Hammond Board of Health, 'Hammond as a city, or for an Individual to institute civil action against the American Maize Products Company, accused of defiling the lake water.

STOPS ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT

House Halls WIMt While Vilifying President. NEW YORKER’S HOTSPEECH While Talking to the House on "the Passing of Roosevelt" the Empire State Representative le So Bitter In His Attack That Members by a Vote of 126 to 78 Refuse to Let Speaker Proceed.

Washington, Jan. 19.—Characterizing President Roosevelt aa “a gargoyle” and as “this pigmy descendant of Dutch tradespeople,” and charging him with having “established a court to the White House which would have delighted the heart of his admired Alexander Hamilton,” Representative William Willett Jr., of New York, in the house of representatives, made one of the 'most bitter attacks on the chief executive ever heard. Before he could finish Willett was halted by the house, which, by a vote erf 126 to 78, held he was vilifying the president. Willett protested, but was not allowed to proceed. The house was in a turmoil. Mr. Willett took for his theme “The Passing of Roosevelt,” and in a speech of great length, dealt with numerous of the president’s acts since he came into oliice. Hits Race Suicide Pleas. After declaring that in the face of all sorts of conditions, Americans were possessed of a universal sense of humor, Mr. Willett said that to such a people "it must be confessed, a chief magistrate cannot be an unmixed nuisance, who has himself no sense of humor, moving like a horse-tedder over a hay field of American activities; stirring up every dryiiig blade of oncegreen grass, to let it fall drier than before; quarreling one day with the practical politicians, then with the part-your-hair-in-the-middle reformers, then with the socialists, then with the great industrial corporations; wrestling in agony of spirit with Noah Webster and our glorious English tongue; taking a fall out of nature fakers; exhorting our women to avoid race suicide.”

Mr. Willett gave a brief biography of Mr. Roosevelt’s life, beginning with bis experiences as a cowboy down to the present time, and accused him, in his early manhood, of having had preposterous notions, of having “knifed" Secretary Long, of being ‘a warrior alone in Cuba,” of having won the governorship of New York by a mere fluke, "when the false halo of San Juan hill was above his head and of having reached the White House only because the hand of an assassin had made the opening.” Recalls Horseback Accident. “He boasts' of Irish blood, but no historic Irishman would have treated an allay as he treated Mr. Harrlman,” said Willett. “He exults in a strain of the old Huguenot, but the French gentlemen doesn’t fly into a passion and lash the horse of a timid young girl whose only offense is inadvertently passing the royal party in a public highway. Even Louis XIV. was not that sort of a .tyrant, and Henry IV.. Henry of Navarre, the great Huguenot king, wore the white plume of Noblesse Oblige.” The president, Mr. Willett declared, showed his teeth to all real heroes, “because real heroes are gall and wormwood to bogus ones." \

PRESIDENT’S LAST SPEECH

Delivered at Celebration of African Diamond Jubilee of Methodists. Washington, Jan. 19.—The president made an address at the celebration of the African Diamond Jubilee of the Methodists. He referred to the fact that this was the last public speech which he would make in this city as president of th* United States. He talked of the Philippines in this language: "Take our own experience in the Philippines. Spain finally lost power to be of benefit to the islands; but do not forget that Spain accomplished very, very much for them during more than two centuries; and that the is lands owe their present possibilities to the fact that the Spaniards took possession of them. Then we came in. Exactly as in the Carribean sea we have endeavored to give genuine and disinterested help to the independent people of Cuba and San Domingo, so, in the same spirit—though the task is of quite different character —we are endeavoring to educate and train th* native races under our sovereignty in the Phlippines. “In our treatment of the FMlipinos we have acted up to the highest standard that has yet been set as marking the proper way in which a powerful and advanced nation should treat a weaker people. In the Philippines we are constantly giving, an increasing measure of self-government. "If we hod abandoned them at the outset to their own devices, If we bad shirked our duty and sailed out of the islands, leaving them in a bloody welter of confusion, the chief sufferers* would have been the Philippine people themselves."
