HERE THERE and EVERY WHERE

The Monon had a wreck just 9outh of Bedford Wednesday morning. While going through a cut the engine, pulling a local freight, left the rails and turned over, blocking traffic several hours. Both Engineer Green and Fireman Head of Bedford had a leg broken. The men were taken to Mitchell, where the fractures were reduced.

George Nichols was hauling crushed stone for a road between Foresman and Brook. Seeing a four-leaf clover by the roadside he could not forego the pleasure of plucking the same, and jumped from the wagon to get it. But it was not good luck for him, for in alighting on the ground his foot was twisted and several ligaments torn loose. He will be unable to use the foot for several weeks. *

Oxford, in Benton county, has a case of infantile paralysis. Virginia Bugbee, the 5-year-old daughter of Mr; and Mrs. Ben Bugbee, had been ill for more than a week and on Tuesday Dr. Lee of Oxford and Dr. Mavity of Fowler both agreed that her case Was a typical., one but in a light form. She has no control oyer her limbs and cannot hold up her head but rests when propped up in bed.

Anna Mallch, a 16-year o'd girl of Gary, committed suicide several days ago and the coroner’s* inquest has established the fact that the act was the direct result of in'ormation told her by a clairvoyant. Following the inquest the city council passed an ordinance requiring all •clairvoyants and seers to pay into the city treasury the sur.i of SIOO -each month, as a license, which, it is thought, will drive them from the city. / ■' The anniversary of the birth of the late James Whitcomb Riley falls on Saturday. October 7, 1916, and Governor Ralston, by proclamation, is calling upon the people of Indiana to observe the day ib an appropriate a&fL’fitting manner. The schools of the state are directed to celebrate the occasion on Friday, October 6, with appropriate exercises, and the churches are urged to make proper recognition on Sunday, October 8, “all in the belief that, in honoring Riley’s memory, we are honoring ourselves, and to the end that the value and virtue of his optimism and genius shall abide with and inspire our people in all the years of the future.’’

Senator Warren makes the charge that President Wilson's administration has been a billion dollars extravagant. But when it is figured that preparedness has cost the country about $600,000,000 and that the country grows in cost about $400,000,000 in such a period of four years as the recent past has been the extravagance is accounted for, But this criticism shows the meanness of politicians. Those Republicans set up a terrible bowl for preparedness and then ~-hen the money was appropriated criticised the act. Did old Gray Wolves like Warren expect the President to steal the money to prepare the country for defense?

Taft will shake hands, for the first time since their 1912 quarrel, at the Union League club October 3. Simultaneously, Charles E. Hughes, Republican candidate for president, will be given a reception at which Root will preside. From the day that Roosevelt and Taft were defeated for the presidency four years ago mutual friends have sought to induce them to forget animosities and meet socially, if not politically. Two weeks ago Frank H. Hitchcock and George W. Perkins visited Colonel Roosevelt. They besought him for the sake of Hughes to come half-way toward a resumption of friendly relations with Taft. The colonel agreed. Hitchcock saw Taft. So did Chairman w’illiam It. Willcox of the Republican national committee. He promised to meet his former rival.

Immediately after the 1 reception Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Taft will resume their stumping tours for Hughes.
