JASPER INDIANA Lucky the man vhos purse cm iUnd tho vacation strain. ; America sends 2,000 globe trotten jLTound the world every year. Cooks of Boston are on strike. Horrors! Fancy eating raw beans I "Protect the calves," cry the butchers. This is a timely hint to bathing girls. ! While the sweet corn is good it hardly seems worth while to buy store teeth. j Girl in Philadelphia, stole a sermon from a preacher man. Let the punishment fit the crime and compel Ler to 1read it j Fashionable women in London are wearing attractive carrot colored stock--ings, but we fear that the 'color is not tho real attraction. j A woman recently obtained a divorce because her husband swore at her in seven languages. She had no appreciation of learning. Women's hats will go up 30 per cent, this fall, says a fashion note. This is cheerful news to the man who hasn't even got his winter's coal in. Word comes from Washington that the trpasury has run short of one dollar bills. Mr. Treasury, accept our heartfelt sympathy. We can appreciate. X. A woman's club in New York, since admitting men to membership, has increased the number of its women members by 20 per cent. Wonder Why. I you do not believe a hole in the ground has a 3trong attraction for mankind, observe the crowds gathered where a skyscraper's cellar Is being dug. A scientist feller announces that he has discovered a new way to make a ghost walk. This will be received with great acclaim by the theatrical profession. The king of Montenegro has worn tho same silk hat for sixteen years. Evidently snowballing a silk hat is not one of the joys of small Montenegroes. Professor Fuchs of Berlin opines that men and women have always flirted. But how could Eve flirt when there was nobody around but her husband? A Philadelphia doctor claims to have discovered the elixir of - life. Can it be that the Philadelphia brand of sleep has had this unsuspected virtue all along? Woman In Wyoming wants a divorce because her husband walloped her with a tomahawk. Burying the hatchet is not always attended by good results. Court in Tacoma prevented a man from trading his wife for two city lots, possibly on the ground that it would be taking advantage of an innocent victim. Scientist in Paris claims that within n few years the world will be fed on electricity, but this does not necessarily mean that it will be in the form of currant pie. A Chicago preacher decs to remark that women's styles of today are an abomination to the Lord. Which induces some curiosity as to the source of his information. As for the fall styles in hats of either gender, experienced persons are prepared for the worst. A python in the New York zoo eats only one meal a year. It is easy for a python to make ends meet Tnose who add to the sweetness of life have also their reward, as proved by the report upon the fortune of a noted candymaker, who left an estate of over two millions. Arbiters of fashion have just decided that women will have to begin wearing long skirts again. So it will soon cease to be necessary to keep the sidewalks swept It is proposed in one of the boroughs of New York to tax funerals. People there will now be confronted with the t problem of whether it is cheaper tolive or die. One Philadelphia father gave his daughter a 300-pound cake for a wedding present. That is all right for dessert, but how about providing the corned beef and cabbage? The latest excuse for murder Is "furore transitoria." It sounds as though anybody might be excused for doing anything under Its influence. Chicago Is suffering from a plethora of cats. Why not connect the surplus with the destructive agencies employed for the bubonic rats? A Chicago woman says that big men make better husbands than small men. It's harder for them to get Into the house late at night without being

HEARING OF FIFTY-ONE INDICTED MEN SOON TO TAKE PLACE AT. INDIANAPOLIS. MASS OF EVIDENCE IS READY Ortie McManigal Is Expected to Be Principal Witness of the Governmsnt Senator Kern to Defend Accused. Indianapolis, Sept. 23. The United . district attorney and a corps oi assistants arc at vork on the dynamiting cases which will bo called for trial Tuesday, October 1, at which time fifty-one defendants, representing almost the entire list of officials of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers for ten years back, will appear in the prisoners' box in the federal court The district attorney has marshaled his testimony, consisting largely of documentary evidence, in such a way as to expedite the trial as much as possible. The records and letters taken from the offices of the iron workers have been arranged In the order of their dates and in the order in which the prosecution asserts the writers stand toward the conspiracy that the government charges existed in the organization to dynamite property. Work of John J. McNamara. John J. McNamara, the international secretary, is said to 'have handled all the correspondence and given practically all the instructions regarding places where explosives should be used, and the prosecution holds there is abundant evidence that the instructions were acted upon. Government attorneys say every effort on the part of the defendants to make McNamara a scapegoat will be met by evidence showing that he was acting under tho orders of the board, that the board appropriated the money with which to buy explosives and pay the dynamiters and that the men indicted were cognizant of all that was going on and in the great majority of cases actually planted the dynamite. Letters alleged to have been written by Ryan to other members and by them to Ryan constitute an interesting part of the correspondence. In one of the alleged Ryan letters written to John J. McNamara, from New York in April, 1910, explicit instructions are given as to how and where tho dynamiters should operate and they are named in the letter. How well and expeditiously these jobs were handled the government alleges It will show from records in its possession and from the testimony of the contractors. Letters as Evidence. The letters, nearly 200 of whi,ch are in the possession of the government, are alleged to be from or about all the men indicted, and the government asserts it Is able to trace practically every job of dynamiting to an immediate or remote connection with them. In this connection, the evidence of Ortie McManigal will be very important, for it is said it will show that he received instructions in harmony with the letters, and that he carried out these instructions to the letter and received pay for them. It is not generally known that McManigal claims to have kept notes of many of his conversations with McNamara and with Hockin, Webb, Young and others. These notes are said to show his expense account from place to place, his hotel bills, his meeting with the local agents and the instructions that he received from them. Kern for the Defense. Senator Kern has recently been employed by the defense and is now ; going over the indictments and is frequently in consultation with the defendants. He and Newton TV. Har ding of this city will be the leading attorneys for the defendants, but it is thought that some of the defend ants will bring lawyers from their own cities. Ortie McManigal is expected to reach here some time, next week and will be the star witness for the government. DRIVES AUTO OVER CLIFF Young Lawyer of Los Angeles, Cal., and Girl In Suicide Pact.
