PETERSON REFUTES REPUBLICAN CHARGES.

The following open letter published in the Lafayette Journal, (Rep..» on Friday last, explains in a clear, honest, forceful manner the attitude of Hen. John B. Peterson, candidate for congress from this district, in relation to his practice as an attorney. The Crumpacker press had alleged that he was a corporation attorney. Mr. Peterson's manly statement refutes this charge completely: Editor Journal: I notice in your issue of September 8 a criticism of my candidacy /or congress based upon the fact, as you charge, that I am a corporation lawyer and in the employ of the United State* Steel Corporation. Appreciating that newspapers usually desire to treat candidates fairly, I am disposed to ask you to publish a full and fair statement of my business relations with corporations, and especially the Steel company referred to. 1 have practiced law in Lake county for thirty-fire years last past. My business during all of that time has been exactly the same as any other country lawyer. I hare tried to represent all classes of litigants who saw fit to gfr® me their busi-

ness, honestly and fairly. During the latter part of the period mentioned corporations have frequently employed me to try their cases for them. I have taken their cases and tried them exactly as I have the business of private individuals. I have never been, and am not now, in the employ of any corporation upon a salary for any stated compensation. Corporations that I have represented have hired me to try their specific cases as other clients have hired me to try theirs. I have practiced law the same as other lawyers do—in fact, the same as my oppenent. Judge Crumpacker has always done and is now doing. Concerning my being an employe of the Steel company I will say that I have never tried but one case in which that company was jtnerested. I was hired to try that case and when the case was completed my employment for Hie Corporation ended. Very truly yours, JOHN B. PETERSON.

SICKNESS AND DEATH IN INDIANA IN AUGUST.

The Monthly Bulletin of the State Board of Health, just issued, says: J"he health and mop tali tv for August, 1910, was not as good as in the same month last year. This August the deaths numbered 3234, and August, 1909, 2316. Typhoid fever was the most prevalent disease both months.

In the 'ante month last year 57. Diphtheria 183 cases. 23 deaths in 34 counties. In same month •last year. 130 cases, 17 deaths in 30 counties.

tainers. This number has been put. last because the board believes Jt will please every ope. Mr. and Mrs. Beilharz have appeared on the chantauqua platform for years and have always pleased the people. The Lyceum irom which this talent has been secured especially recommends them. The extra number, which asj stated above, will be given by'

Byron King. * needs no . further comment. Mr. King delighted the people of Rensselaer last year in his Shakespearen lecture and will undoubtedly' have something worth listening to this year. The course last year netted $35 and this amount has been turned into the new one. We aim to have a much stronger course this year, but the cost will be considerable more. Rensselaer needs ? • , > , -

a lecture course and our purpose has been to secure the best talent for the least qost. This year the season tickets will be 51.50 for the six numbers including the extra one. A committee will soon be selected to canvass the town and >ve hope that the people will respond cheerfully. Lecture Board. -,7 '■ v . ( - Read The Democrat for .tews
