All except Lambert paid In full tho charges mndo by tho examiners. In tho case of I-ambort he was not convinced that ho owed all that had boen charged back against him, and paid only that which he acknowledged ho owed. The state hoard has prepared to file with the governor an additional list of present and former officials who havo not paid up according to tho reports of the examiners. Theso reports will be certified by tho governor, on re ceipt, to tho attorney general, whose duty It Is under tho law to bring action to collect. Annual Meeting cf State Federation. Tho twenty-fifth annual con vention of tho stato Federa tion of Iabor opened at Lafayette. Cordial greetings were extended nt tho opening session by tho mayor, the presidents of the Merchants', Young Business Men's and other commercial associations of the city, and Sidney H. Saltzgaber, president of tho Central Labor union and chairman of the entertainment committee, wolcomod tho delgatea on behalf of tho union worklugmcn of Lafayette When President John Hughes of Indianapolis called tho convention to order, practically every city of importance in tho state was represented. The session opened with an Invocation by Itov. Oscar II. McKay, pastor of the First Baptist church. After tho addresses of greeting. President John Hughes thanked the city's representatives and the convention thon proceeded to business. It developed at tho sessions thnt tho fight for tho 19J1 convention will be between Fort Wayne and Torre Haute. Both cities havo sent hundreds of badges to bo worn by delegates. Tho contest for officers is lively. Friends of John Hughes, now president, say ho will bo re-elected, although they realize that a fight will bo made against him. Tho report of tho resolutions commlttoo Is also sure to arouse some feeling and result In a divided vote. Auditor Sets Time Limit. Officials of tho Indiana Industrial Life Insurance company of Torre Hauto will havo a specified time, according to John C. Blllhelmer. auditor of state, to correct Irregularities In connection with $2G,000 worth of mortgage securities filed In his office by the concern. If the adjustment Is not made" by the tlmo given. Mr. Blllhcimcr says, action to throw the concern Into tho hands of a receiver will bo taken. It was found by tho auditor that the company's securities had been merely lent by land owners for the purpose of providing securities and that while jirotocting tho policy holders, they wore not satisfactory as representing tho actual financial condition of tho company. Mr. Blllhelmer held an Inquiry In Torre Hauto concerning substitution of properly drawn securities for tho mortgages offered by the company, and received the assurance of tho officers and stockholders, ho said, that nit adjustments would be made according to his advice. Thirty-five stockholders "ere present nt tho Inquiry and they agreod. Mr. Blllheimor said, to put in additional money nnd to see that tho affairs of tho concern, which is a prosperous one, are mado to comply with tho stato law in every particular. Confers With Blllhelmer. Following a visit to Torre Haute by Auditor of State John C. Blllhelmer nnd John Ashby, actuary In tho Insurnnco dopartmont, to Investigate affairs of tho Indiana Industrial Life Insurance company, P. B. Garrott, general manager of tho company, was In conference with Mr. Blllhelmer and Mr. Ashby at tho stntehouso. Dr. W. R. Mnttox of Terro Hauto, representIng the stockholders who mado tho complaint, nnd others were present. Mr. Blllhelmer, whllo recognizing everything has been quite regular in tho management of tho company, said he believed a satisfactory reorganization of affairs could bo effected. If any hitch In tho plans of tho auditor occur a receiver will probably bo asked.

Difference Between Vouchers and Corresponding Checks. SHORTAGE IS REPORTED Allege John T. Splllman, Former Trustee of Clinton Township, Decatur County, Owes $839.15 Declares Accounts Twisted. Indianapolis. Not only Is John T. Splllmnn, former trustee of Clinton towiiBhlp, Decatur county, charged with owing tho township ?839, but tho field examiners from the stato board of accounts, who Inspected his books, allege there Is a difference between vouchers nnd corresponding checks on banks. Issued during his administration, of $1.0C7.5C. Checks given on the township- depository, for which no vouchors were found, amounted to $7.529.71 and vouchers given by former Trustee Splllman, during the four yoars of office, for which no checks were found, amounted to $440.05, It 13 charged. t Joseph E. Sherman and Joseph C. Lockwood, who made tho examination, havo charged Mr. Splllman with $103.70. representing tho amount duo the township at the close of the 1905 business, $C04.23 for 190C. $07 for 1907 and $04.22 for 1908. The examiners allege Mr. Splllman caiTled his personal and the township banking accounts together. Of the $103.70, charged against Mr. Splllman in 1905, $93.30 was a payment made to his predecessor, James A. Meek, for having paid teachers without vouchers, the examiners allege. The total charge against tho former trustee of $004.23, as tho result of the 1900 business, Is explained as errors In foot ing, credits on vouchers for which no money was paid and excess payments to teachers and tho advisory board. It is alleged that Splllman overpaid E. M. Moulton. a teacher. $07 in 1907. Tho examiners make no charges against Splllman In connection with tho alleged difference between vouchers and corresponding checks, tho chocks for which. It Is said, no vouchers were found and the vouchors for which the examiners say thoy found no checks. STATE NEWS IN BRIEF. Evansville. Self-defense will bo tho ploa of Mrs. Zorah Eblon of Henderson.

Thero is no difference between n Lone that has been fractured and one that has been broken, although the term fracture- is sometimes used when tho bono has beon only cracked or split and not broken entirely apart. Fracturos are usually caused by some external forco as a blow with a club or a fall, but sometimes, especially In eldorly people, a sudden muscular movement may cause tho bone to break. A bono may bo broken anywhere throughout Its length or It may have Just a little corner broken off one of its ends. Tho longer bones of tho extremities aro of course moro ofton fractured than tho shorter and irregular boncB. Fracturos often accompany sprains and dislocations and it Is important that such injuries should bo seen by a physician so as to learn whether or not a fracturo also exists, as the proper treatment of tho case depends upon this knowledge. Dangers. Some of tho dangers of fractured bones are the Injuries to the surrounding structures, as rupture of blood vessels, tearing of nerves, and puncture of organs, as of the lung in fractures of the ribs. In fractures of tho skull tho bleeding, although often slight, may be within the skull and cause death by pressing upon some vital part of the brain. The Infection following compound fractures may result In a general blood poisoning and denth. As a bono that has beon fractured Is weaker than normal for a number of months, even after tho six to eight weeks usually considered necessary for Its healing, the part should be used carefully In order to prevent a second fracture. The Diagnosis. The diagnosis of a fracture is sometimes very easy, as when a long bone Is broken near its middle and the limb bends at that point. When a long bono is broken near its end or when a small Irregular bono Is broken, it Is sometimes very difficult without the assistance of an X-ray photograph to tell whether or not tho bone is fractured. Some of the oiner symptoms

which help to diagnose a broken bonel are pain which Is rather acute and becomes very sharp on any nttempt at movement. This pain is a little differ ent from the more dull ache of a dielocation. When the ends of a broken bone rub ngalnst each other thero 13 a peculiar grating sensation that can bo felt and sometimes heard. This Is called bony crepitus. The broken fragments should not be moved back and forth in attempting to bring out this

Poisoning Preventive and Remedial Measures

In the preventive treatment of polsonlng we must remember to keep all poisons in the household locked up In somo closet or drawer, so as to guard against children getting hold of them. They should be kept in a separate place from other medicines In tho house, as it has often happened that somo person has been taken sick in tho night nnd going to tho medicino chest, by mistake has taken some poison instead of tho remedy intended. It is a dangerous practice to put poison fly paper, rat poison, etc., around whore thero Is possibility of children reaching them. Many cough remedies,' most soothing sirups and headache powders contain large amounts of poison and should never bo taken unless prescribed by a physician. They usually only relieve the symptoms and do not counteract tho cause of the trouble. Thero are a good many poisons that havo two ways of producing their bad o fleets: 1. Chronic action, whero the results come from taking small doses of the substanco during a long period. 2. Acute action, whore tho results aro seen promptly and follow a large doso taken nt one time. Tho chronic results are often just as lujurious and more fatal than those caused by tho acute poisoning, but It Is only the ncutc poisoning that one would be called upon to treat as first aid. Thero are somo methods or vrinclpics of treatment which should bo remembered for all poisons. Ono which hardly needs to be mentioned but which is vory important Is to stop tho taking of the poison at once. Tola Is best illustrated by impressing upon one's mind tho Importance of moving to tho fresh air a person who had been found unconscious from gas in a room. Tho next point tg reniomber is to remove as much of the holson as possible, in caso whero it has been taken Into tho stomach, bo as to provent its absorption Into tho system. This is done by causing the patient to vomit, or by washing out his stomach. Vomiting may bo caused in several ways. I. Sticking a finger far back Into tho throat 2. Giving teacupful of warm water with a teaspoonful of powdered mustard stirred Into It. 3. Teaspoonful doses of wino or sirup of Ipecac. 4. Largo amounts of lukowarm salt water. The third point to think of is to glvo tho antidote If the substanco taken is known. It Is not to bo expected that the list of antidotes can bo remombered except by physicians and druggists or those familiar with .drugs, so It is best to procure the lt from your physician or druggist

sign as serious harm may be done to tho surrounding vessels and tissues, but it Is sometimes felt whllo one is applying a band a go or Kpllnt. Make the Patient as Comfortable as Possible. All fractures should bo seen by a physician as soon as possible nnd the person giving first nid should not attempt to set tho broken bono (reduce tho fracture). Tho emergency treatment consists simply In placing tho patient In a comfortable position until tho doctor arrives, or, If he has to be moved, In applying splints and bandagos so that the transportation gives as little pain as possible to tho patient and does not add Injury to the wounded part. It sometimes has happened that through tho unskillful handling of a simple fracture, the ends of tho bones have been pushed through the skin thus converting It into a compound and thereforo a much more serious fracturo. Compound Fractures. In compound fractures, never touch the wound In the skin with dirty hands or put dirty cloths over it. Treat It tho same as a laceration or a cut or puncture wound. The person giving first aid must wash his own hands for at least five minutes with soap and warm water that has been boiled. Then clean up tho wound In a careful mnnner with water that has been boiled and with clean sterile cloths. (Tho methods of making a cloth ste ile has been given under wounds of the skin). Avoid wiping directly across the wound but rather wash from its margin outward In all directions. Splints. In treating fractures of the extremities, splints may be mado of any stiff material as cardboard, pieces of boards, limbs of trees, canes, umbrellas, etc. Theso enn bo bound to tho Injured limb by handkerchiefs, pieces of rope, grnpo vines or roots of somo plants. Some padding should be placed between the limb nnd the Eplint, the hollow places being filled up so that the splint will put equal pressure on all parts of the limb when tied to It. This packing mny be mado from rags, handkorcliiefs. caps, hay, straw, moss. etc.

In vases of fracture of tho arm. It can be bound to tho side of the body to help keep it steady. A broken leg can be strapped to tho other leg which acts as a splintMethods of Improvising stretchers on which to carry patients with brokon legs will be taken up under the general discussion of transportation of tho sick nnd Injured. William H. Bailey, A. B., M. D.. Kansas University School of Medicine, Rosedalo. and keep it in your medicine chest An antidote Is a substance which either unitos with the poison and renders ' It lesB harmful or one that counteracts tho effect of the poison on the systorn. In all cases of poisoning bo sure to save any of tho substance taken, if It can bo found, or the bottle or box 1 In which it was contained, or any of tho vomited material or excretions of , the body, so that they may aid the physician In discovering what has been taken. And lastly, If tho patlent shows much depression or ex- j haustlon or weak heart action, ho ' must bo stimulated by whisky or aromatic spirits or ammonia or some-1 thing similar. If very drowsy, ho must ' bo aroused every few minutes and not allowed to sleep. If excited or In n convulsion, ho must be kept quiet and away from all external stimulations, as noises, bright lights, drafts or cold air, etc Americans vs. Englishmen. Throw an American out of Iho window nnd he will land upon his feet, his hands doing somothlng. Throw an Englishman out of tho window and ho will land on his hands, his meuth affirming things. Put both Into a howling wilderness, and tho American will have a city staked out while tho Englishman Is cleaning tho mud off his boots. Put bolh into a complex Mars, and tho Briton will bo running tho new cosmos whllo the American is looking for tho wlro to introduce his telephone. The American's passion If for Industry, tho Englishman's for dominance; tho American Is an engineer, tho Englishman n conductor. This passion for controlling things, rather thnn doing them, touches every part of tho Englishman's lifo. It is his opinion first, and something clso next, that differentiates him from the American. We are orthodox in a negligible sort of way; but wo nro heterodox In a negllglblo sort of way, also. With us nn opinion is nothing to make a fuss over; with an Englishman nn opinion is always something to make a fuss over. Ab yet wo are really an unoplnlonnted people. Carl G.

SOLDIERS HAVE POSSESSION

Refusal of Company to Increata Wages of Men to One Dollar a Day Is Cause of Trouble. Paris, France, Oct 12. Employees of the Northern railroad art oa a Btrlke and the tleup Is complete. Trains only for Calais and Cologne are moving. Military engineers have been called to' replaco the strikers, but the number is Inadequate to restore tho running schedules. Several acts of violence occurred before daybreak. At St Quentln the tracks were torn up. Two locomotives wero in collision at Terginer and obstructed tho main track. Military forces havo taken possession of several stations and have been posted along tho road to protect tho railroad property. Company Is Surprised. Tho strike developed overnight and took the company and the public by surprise. There has been ill feeling on the part of the employees for somo tlmo owing to the refusal of the Northern railroad to Increase the wages of the men to $1 a day and to grant other- concessions. There havo been rumors of impending strikes, but the men conducted their plans with great secrecy. Demands of the Employees. Demands of the employees are as follows: 1. Genoral increase In wages to meet the higher cost of living. 2. Retroactive application of tho employees' pension law. 3. Moro equitable division of work. 4. Granting of one day off in seven for all employees. 5. Distinct employment by the month Instead of by the day. As soon as the company and the authorities learned tho situation the Paris terminus of the road was occupied by the military, municipal guards and police. Tho government It appears, was not unprepared for today's developments and had taken steps to preserve order. In the night troops were assembled In this city and along the lines of the roads in the provinces, where they were held In readiness to guard the stations, the rolling stock and the tracks. Will Not Be Intimidated. In the face of these preparations the trainmen declared that they would not bo Intimidated and that if they were called upon as reservists to man the trains they would refuse on the ground that such commands would be illegal. They asserted that the law provided only for tho mobilization of railroad men for the purpose of. transporting troops. The demands originated with the under trainmen, the baggage handlers and ticket takers, but they were supported by the complete personnel, as every branch of tho service has somo grievance. The strikers threaten to draw to their support the employees of the state railroad lines. Work ceased first on the freight trains and none of theso havo left the city. Telegraphic and telephonlo communication along tho road Is interrupted, and thus the management was In Ignorance of what trains were moving. CHARGE LAKE TRADE PLOT Chicago Men Accuse Railroads of Plot to Ruin Water Rivals; Demand Commerce Board Act. Chicago, Oct. 12. Charging a conspiracy by railroads to deprive western grain shippers of the advantages of cheap water rates, officials of tho Chicago Board of Trade filed a petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington asking an Investigation. The petition asserts that the railroads are trying to drlvo tho grain transportation business from tho great lakes. The complaint Is directed against tho Pennsylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio, tho New York Central, and 74 other railroad lines operating east of Chicago and other Lake Michigan and Lake Superior points. It is represented that "by reason of a conspiracy on tho part of the defendant carriers, substantially all means of all-rail through transportation from Chicago to Now York and other Atlantic seaboard points, and also all parallel and competing through lines of transportation via tho great Jakes from Chicago and other lake points to Buffalo and from Buffalo to New York and other Atlantic seaboard points, are owned and controlled by tho defendant carriers."
