WEEKLY COURIER BEN ED. DOANE, Publisher. JASPER INDIANA The aeroplane Is still amenable to 'the law of gravity. We are threatened with monoplane whiskers and balloon skirts. There are all kinds of suckers,. Including the one who puts up the side bet Listen to the candidates! Yet women have been called the talkative sex. . Let tis be calm. That moth ball odor will soon pass from ingenuous humanity. The dreaded open season for stories about finding pearls In oyster stews is now upon is. Two-story trolley cars are now popular in New York. Watch for the skyscrapers next. Thus far no combination of capital has sought an injunction to restrain the union salt. One of the grave issues of the day Is the harrowing doubt: "Is King George henpecked?" Just plain, ordinary curiosity to see a candidate is often mistaken for wild enthusiasm for his cause. Chicago is to have an aeroplane steeplechase. Just as if ordinary flying weren't dangerous enough. Australia dreams of being a second Europe some time. Aud thus capture 4the American tourist business? Sapient observers declare that mountain climbing Is dangerous exercise. It is also mighty hard work. A Now York policeman was discharged for being "too easy." Is he going to be the goat, wo wonder? How sad she will bo this winter, If sho doesn't have an evening gown with a rim of fur around the bottom! BcEtoa'g mayor is going to keep chiciiona. And right hero la where he wiii lose the suburban gardener vote. A Canadian preacher says his parish Is better than heaven. Ho missed his calling. Ho should have been a press agent. An English actor laced himself so tight in a corset that he died. Ho was bound to keep In form, no matter what the cost. A man in Ohio went insane after persistently reading the congressional record. But his mind never was overly strong. Another crying need is a carnation which will sprout a pin with which it may be attached to the lapel of a man's coat. If the oyster is a suffering creature It gives human beings one good example at least. It keeps quiet about Us wrongs. 1 A London couple have married after m. twenty year courtship. At least, they should bo certain that their love is steadfast. Some $12 a week clerks spend all tholr spare time arguing about the respective merits of the latest models in motor cars. Fall fashions are being displayed at fall openings. All-the-year-around husbands look alarmed, as usual, on such occasions. That proposed ban on the use cf aeroplanes in war should be enlarged to Include the use of those machines in circus stunts. The sending up of two lieutenants with every aeroplane in the British aviation corps seems a lamentable waste of material. The English aristocracy has taken up bicycling again. The English aristocracy never was noted for its ability to buy gasoline. Any good dog doctor can give you a remedy for the mange so do not throw away your fuzzy hat until you have tried something. Ex-King Manuel of Portugal has Ave princesses to pick a wife from. Congratulations of the judicious will go to the iour lucky ones. Woman should not grow indignant because men criticise the hobble skirt. If it wer5 not that it would be something else. Fussing about women's clothes is a constitutional requirement in the masculine cosmos. . Merchants in feminine things to wear eay that American women's feet and er what the feet immediately depend upon, are growing larger and more muscular. Not surprising, though, considering the hats they have to carry around. A Brooklyn man who committed suicide a few days ago left a note in which he said: "Life Is a gamble. Tou either win or lose. I took my chance and lost." One is inclined to ttuapect that he showed poor judement In choosing hli chance.

COL ROOSEVELT LEAVES CHICAGO FOR OYSTER BAY

BOARDS PENNSYLVANIA TRAIN AT UNION STATION THIS MORNING FOR HOME. BULLET DEFINITELY LOCATED Ex-Prcsldent In Weak, Nervous Condition and Physicians Demand Absolute Quiet for Patient, Though There Is No Cause to Worry. Mercy Hospital, Chicago, Oct. 21. Colonel Roosevelt, despite his weak and nervous condition, left the hospital at 7:80 o'clock this morning and an hour afterward was on his way to Oyster Bay, N. Y., aboard a 24-hour train over the Pennsylvania railroad. A consultation of his staff physicians last night definitely decided this move, although they were not hesitant In saying he should have remained at the hospital until Thursday at least. It became known last night for the first time since the shooting the exact location of the bullet fired by John Schrank in Milwaukee last Monday. Bullet Definitely Located. The bullet, it was found by a new X-ray plate, is lodged outside, instead of inBide, the fractured rib, nd can be removed at any time Colonel Roosevelt desires. This fact greatly encouraged the doctors and, in interviews after the consultation, they emphasized the point that the colonel is in as good condition as might be expected. "However," Dr. Alexander Lambert, Roosevelt's family physician stated, "Mr. Roosevelt, like any patient would bo who has undergone such an experience, is nervously exhausted. "He must have absolute quiet." "There is no cause for serious misgivings if the colonel keeps quiet," added Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan. Goes to Depot In Electric Car. Doctor Murphy at the last minute decided that the risk of Colonel Roosevelt traveling to tho railway sitting in a limousine, aB had been planned, was too great to bo incurred, and he ordered that Colonel Roosevelt be transported in the hospital's electric ambulance. This lowered the liability of injury to his wound through crossing car tracks, the Chicago river bridge and rough places in the paving. The route of tho ambulance and party from the hospital to the Union station was: From the Prairie avenue gate of the hospital, north to Sixteenth street, west to Michigan avenue, north to Jackson boulevard, west to Canal street and north to the depot. The party traveled slowly, one hour being taken for the three-mile ride. The patients in the hospital were very much alive to the colonel's departure this morning and tho Prairie avenue windows of the hospital were alive with fluttering handkerchiefs. The colonel's route to the Union station was kept secret. It was done to avoid the crowds which would naturally gather along the route to see tho colonel's departure. The noise would tend to excite the colonel and it is upon absolute quiet that his recovery depends, the doctors say. f Police Guard Roosevelt. Every precaution was taken at the station to keep the crowds from jostling the colonel. Fifty policemen formed a phalanx around the former president. Tho Roosevelt family and party had two cars placed at their disposal. Dr. Scurry L. Terrell and Dr. Alexander Lambert accompanied the colonel to Oyster Bay. No one will be allowed to see the colonel en route. Even If Governor Johnson, Senator Beverldge or President Taft himself, which is a remote possibility, should board tho train, they would be barred at the colonel's door. "So I am going at last, am 1?" said the colonel after reaching his private car. "Well, I am greatly relieved. The week has passed very slowly for me." "But you will have to be more quiet at Oyster Bay than you have been here," ono of the doctors said. The colonel looked at them with a twinkle in his eye. "We'll see," he said. The colonel will, after an enforced. rest at Ouster Bay, begin preparations for his last speech of the campaign to be delivered at Madison Square garden, New York, on the evening of October 30. Whether his condition will allow him to speak for 30 minutes or for only five minutes, he says that It will be a final messjge to the people of the country to deliver themselves from the present political system. Wound Bleeds Slightly. The colonel's wound has been bleeding slightly and exuding a serum, which shows that the wound is just beginning to heal inside. The least exertion on Mr. Roosevelt's part would cause a break in the healing and might result In complications. For this reason ho was almost carried to the electric car which carried him to the railway station and he was bodily lifted up the high steps of the train.

STEAMER BERKSHIRE, WITH MANY PASSENGERS, ABLAZ-E Vessel Rolling In Northwest Gale Off Virginia Coast Latest Report Says Flames Under Control. Norfolk Va., Oct. 21. With a fire smoldering in her hold, the Merchants and Miners' steamer Berkshire, from Philadelphia for Savannah, Is rolling in a raging northeast gale in Lookout Cove, near Cape Lookout, her 24 passengers aiding the crew and the lifesavers in an attempt to subdue the flames. The boat has been on fire for nearly twenty-four hours, but is believed to be under control. Unless It should become more serious the passengers will probably remain on board all night or until the sea subsides sufficiently to permit them to be transferred to one of the several vessels that have reached the scene. Again the wireless demonstrated its efficiency, the steamship Apache of the Clyde line being at tho side of the burning Berkshire in an hour after it first picked up the alarming signal. The flames on the Berkshire have been confined to the forward freight hold. With the assistance of lifesavers, who reached the boat tunder the greatest difficulties, some o! the freight was removed from this compartment and the flames are being fought with the ship's equipment. There are twenty-one passengers on the Berkshire, most of them tourists bound from Philadelphia to Savannah. From the time the fire was discovered in the hold of the ship until the present no one on the Berkshire dared go to sleep. The crew of the Berkshire tried for many hours to subdue the flames, but their efforts met with little success. The latest message from the Berkshire stated that the fire was still confined to the forward hold which is partly flooded; that tho flames were practically under control but that the ship was badly damaged.
