Evansville, Ind., July 25.--The rewave has reached Evansville, and the city will be closed, but not until Jan. 1. Mayor John W. Boehne, who is spending a few days at French Lick

Springs, has sent a communication to the board of public safety, saying that beginning Jan. 1 next, the Sunday closlaw would be enforced in EvansMayor Boehne was elected last fall on a reform platform, and when he went into office he promulgated a few reforms.

Enforced Some of the Laws. He announced that the 11 o'clock closing law in Evansville, that had albeen a dead letter, would be enand it has been. All gambling rooms were closed, the ban was placed on resorts and slot machines were refrom the city Many of the church people have demanded of the mayor that he enforce all the laws, but he has refused, saying he would remethe evils from time to time, realizthat it would take a little time to bring about reforms he had advoHe Has Raised a Storm. The letter to the board of safety from Mayor Boehne created consternaamong the politicians and the telewires between here and French Lick Springs were kept busy. The mayor's friends asked that the order be rescinded, but lie refused to change his mind, saying he had decided to

bring about a strict observance of the laws in this city.

Why It Is To Be Done. Two weeks ago Oliver Bryant, a coal

miner, went to his home on the String-

town road, at the edge of town, and

while intoxicated attacked his wife.

The cries of the wife attracted the atof the neighbors, who rushed

in and gave Bryant such a beating that he died the next day of his in

juries. It is said several of the men

who attacked Bryant were drunk.

WAS A DRY WEATHER WIRE

Wouldn't Work When It Rained, and

the Reason as It Was Finally Discovered. New Albany, Ind., July 25.--A sprig

of wood, which had grown around a telephone wire, is believed to have been the cause of considerable trouble

experienced on the long-distance line

between this city and Indianapolis this

summer, frequently cutting off comThe trouble was discovbetween Jonesboro and Rockford. At one point the wire passed through

the forks of two small limbs, and as they grew they inclosed the wire and

imbedded it in the wood. Whenever it rained the twig swelled tight around the wire and caused what is known as a "heavy ground," the current being carried into the ground."

The hot sun following the showers

dried the twig sufficiently to stop its treme danger.

London, July 25.--The eloquence of William J. Bryan at the Inter-Parlia-conference secured the adopof a clause to the proposed model arbitration treaty that, if adopted by the nations, will go far towards makwar impossible in any but extreme cases of aggravation or provocation. The clause is as follows: "If a disagreement should arise which is not included in those to be submitted to arbitration, the conparties shall not resort to any act of hostility before they, separateor jointly, invite, as the case may necessitate, the formation of an inter

national commission of inquiry or

mediation of one or more friendly powers, this requisition to take place,

if necessary, in accordance with ar-

ticle VIII of The Hague convention

providing for a peaceful settlement of

international conflicts." Intended to Widen the Scope.

The clause was warmly supported

by Von Plener, ex-minister of com

merce of Austria, as well as by Bryan,

who made an eloquent speech in faof his clause. He said that

the clause was aimed at widenthe scope of arbitration so as to include questions of national honor, the chances being a hundred to one

that the proposed investigation of

facts would also settle any question

of national honor. If the hand of war could be stayed till the conscience awakened wars would become more

remote. The amendment, therefore

was a long step in the direction of

peace. Talked About Disarmanent.

Later there was a long debate on th

limitation of naval and military forces

in which Baron d'Estournelles de Con

stant declared that Germany commit

the grave fault of struggling with the

United States for naval pre-eminence.

A resolution was agreed to in principle

urging that the question of disarma

ment be placed on the programme o

the next peace conference at Th

Hague. The exact wording of the res

olution will be discussed today. Rep resentatlve D. L. D. Granger, of Rhod

Island, was elected vice president of

the United States delegation for the coming year, and Representatives of Missouri, and, T. E. Burof Ohio, were elected members of the international council. Russian Delegates Depart. M. Alladin, leader of the Group of Toil; M. Roditcheff, leader of the Con stitutional Democrats, and MM. OstroVasileff and Professor Kovalev sky, who came from St. Petersburg to attend the inter-Parliamentary union, have departed. With the exception of M. Alladin they will proceed direct to St. Petersburg. M. Alladin said: "I am not going to St. Petersburg beif I did my life would be in ex-

OTHERS.

The man with the hoe is a downtrodden

creature.

For toil in his life is the principal fea

ture.

While others at pleasures are coming and

going.

He tends to his knitting, or, rather, his

hoeing.

But he as a sufferer s hardly a starter;

The man with the lawn mower--there is

the martyr.

The hours of the morning for toil he is

using

While others more fortunate sweetly are

snoozing

Unless--then he gloats--they're as mad

as a hatter

Because they're aroused by his clickety

clatter. But though they berate him and call it a scandal Yet he is the one who must push at the handle. The lawn which seemed small when he made the selection Now seems as he mows it a full quarter section. And, although the distance in inches is

reckoned. It seems to grow longer and longer each second Until by the third or fourth time he's been round it He mutters and says something worse than "Confound it!" Nor does it make lighter the least bit the labor To hear the remarks of some gay lawnless neighbor, Who says he would make a museum atOr pass as a mule if he had but good action. He forces a smile, springs a chestnut so handy By saying, "This exercise, neighbor, is dandy."

Grumbling is a successful method some people have of attracting attenHe who never takes the first step won't lose out in the race. The man is a genius who always suc

ceeds in living beyond his income. Ideals and aspirations would be all right if tactless friends wouldn't exone to live up to them. The woman who has a man belonging to her has a sort of superior pity for the woman who hasn't.

One of the pleasantest things in life

is finding an affinity who has money to loan. He isn't always the best man who gets the best of everything. Men think that women are too serious a proposition to be taken seriously. Living by the mistakes of others is the only philosophical way of living. When you hear that some one has been saying nice things about you don't swell up with vainglory, but just try to remember when you passed the taffy to that particular person.
