Woman is the voice of man's conscience. That's why it is necessary for her to talk so much. When you find a man in good workorder it is a case of either working or being worked. It costs a good deal to live, but there would be no fun in it if it were cheap. Telegraph News by Direct Wire from All Over Indiana Printin

Columbus, Ind., July 23.--A plot to

wreck the new threshing outfit of Arian Heilman, who lives one mile north of Hope, in this county, was diswhen he started to thresh on the Samuel Snyder farm, between Hope and Old St. Louis. Men at work in the fields noticed that many of the wheat shocks were unusually heavy. On investigation they found a number of stones in each shock. It evidently was the intention to have the wheat containing these stones passed into the separator and ruin the machine. Work Was Deliberate Devilty. Injury to the workmen probably would have resulted also. Some of the stones were almost as large as a man's head and were so heavy that they dropped out when the shocks were moved. Other stones were carefully tied in the shocks of wheat, so that

moving the shocks would not dislodge them. The farmers in that part of the county are indignant. Heilman says he has no idea who put the stones in

the wheat and does not know of an

enemy in the world.
