FALSE NEWS DISSEMINATORS SHOULD EE FLAYED. THERE ARE PEOPLE IX THIS WORLD, who, for some inexplicable

reason, though ostensibly because of a diseased mind, take incomprehensible delight, in supplying a newspaper with misinformation and in many cases imposing on the journals by deliberately lying. In some states in this country, and it is to be regretted that it is not in all states, the perpetrator of such an indefensible act, where malice is used, is punishable by the criminal code- One phase of this misinformation in Hammond crops out quite frequently where persons with an extremely shabby sense of courtesy and an exceedingly coarse sense of humor send in stories of engagements, marriages, etc., to the newspapers which are absolutely without foundation. The question is rightly raised by the victims of the cruel jokes why the newspaper to whom such a story comes does not investigate fully the circumstances before publishing it? The question is easily answered. No matter how carefully a newspaper seeks to verify news sent to it in this way in the thousands of stories of one kind and another that come to it in the course of the days, it is impossible to prevent a slip now and then. The most careful person in all the world is apt to be imposed upon sometime by a pretended friend. Stories of misplaced confidence in friendship are as common as sin Itself and among a newspaper's friends, pretended or otherwise there is always one ready to take advantage of it, until found out. There is not a paper printed which has not been victimized in this way, no matter how guarded its policy may be. Considering the strain and stress under which a newspaper is published it is remarkable that the contingency does not happen oftener. Xo newspaper wants to publish anything but the truth. That is axiomatic. A newspaper and its staff have the most indescribable contempt for a person through whose apparently truthful information, news is disseminated which is absolutely f;ilse. How a woman can wilfully and

deliberately cause to be published a story which wounds the feelings of her friend is unfathomable. The person whose breeding and manners are so

abortive and uncunth as to put in circulation a deliberate lie is not fit to

move in civilized society. For creatures have only one regret that there is not ity and visiting upon them the flaying

THAT THERE IS A GEXUIXE popular impulse at the back of China's

effort to abolish the use of opium is beyond a doubt. The United States will certainly hail it with the greatest joy. Statistical reports show that the use of it is spreading in the larger cities as the use of cocaine and other drugs that belong in the bottomless pit are in the smaller cities. Observers on the ground in China, however, are still doubtful on two points the sincerity of the government's attitude prohibiting the traffic and the practical

effects of the enforced disuse of the ginning to report that shops for the morphia or opium in some form are consequently the last state of many

worse than their first. The United States will welcome the day when the importation of the drug from China to these stores ceases. It will only come when China checks the evil. If our country is to be freed from the drug habit

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. IN THE DENTISTS CHAIR. The tortures of the Spanish inquisition are not entirely of the past. The modern rack is the chair of the dental surgeon. The difference between the chair of the Spanish dungeon and the dentist's chair Is mostly as to the upholstering. One goes to the dentist for au ex amination or cleaning of the teeth. He may be one's best friend. In his torture chamber he is your dearest enemy. "Hah!" says the inquisitor. "What have we here? Two fillings. We must have another appointment. Flow would tomorrow, say 3 o'clock, suit you?" It suits you like an Invitation to be hanged. You go out from the presence of the dentist a changed man. Your nerves are jangled like sweet bells out of tune. An ominous thing "3 o'clock tomorrow'' looms ever on the horizon of your subconsciousness. One climbs with a ghastly smile Into the hateful padded chair. Adjustment of the towel is like putting the noose about the neck of the wretch to be swung off. First Is a skirmish, a premonition of the real thing when the smiling villain picks brutally into the decayed ppots with a pickax. And now he begins his murderous Job the grinding out of the holes. Ugh! You cower and flinch and grunt. He is hunting for and finding the place where you live. And you are "at home." Afterward comes the hammering of the gold with a sledgo hammer. Ugh, but this Is a hard way to acquire riches! The rascal is forcing the metal on you. Fie has such a supreme disregard for your finer feelings. It really isn't fair to hammer a man when he is down. , There! All over but the polishing. That process seems the worst of all because it comes on the top of your two hours of human grief. It looks a surplus piling on of pain. lie is so careless with his wheel In the vicinity of sore and mangled gums. Finally the agony ceases. As you rise from the chair your first impulse Is to paste the dentist one over his left eye, but you remember, "Faith ful are the wounds of a friend." You touch the gilded places with your tongue. You feel a whole man again There are no surplus holes In your headpiece, and it may be a year be fore other fillings are needed. What is the moral? If any, It is on the surface, a gob of optimism namely, this is a good world to live In, after all.

Professor De !ng of Peru, who has been lecturing some time on '"Why I Left the Catholic church," has caused the arrest of William and Jesse Powers and Merritt Marouiss of Bunker Hill, for throwing aged eggs at him two weeks after he had delivered the first of a series of lectures.

ALLEGED BRIBER CAPTURED. Sheriff Box of Bedford has returned from Terre Haute, where he captured Marcus D. Reed, who -was indicted by . Lawrence county grand Jury for atempted bribery. It is alleged Reed made overtures to two Jurymen, offering them $2 each to influence their action in a case in which Reed was interested. Sheriff Box. while on a street oar in Terre Haute, saw Reed and. having the warrant In his pocket, made the capture. ERIE MAKISG REPAIRS. An official of the Erie railroad states IN POLITICS Hot Springs, Va July IS. Judge Taft is making rapid progress in perfecting his speech of acceptance. He was at work early today and continued until he left for the golf links. He has made a vety thorough revision of his speech, but will consider its language further and consult with some of hla friends before placing his stamp of approval on it. Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Ore gon arrived here today. He said that his purpose was to try the golf links and recuperate his health. Senator Bourne, before the Chicago convention was -held, conducted a strenuous cam paign for the purpose ot oringing about the renomination of President Roosevelt. "I knew the golf was good here be cause Taft chose it, and I demanded the best golfing," artlessly remarked Senator Bourne. "There is no politics in my visit; simply golf. I hope to play Mr. Taft." Later Senator Bourne remembered that he had some political ideas and vigorously asserted that his suggested plank against a president naming his successor would be an issue of the campaign. "By such a system," he said, "we would have a sort of monarchial government." New York, July 20. No information could be obtained from official sources tonight regarding a statement printed in Mexico City to the effect that President Cabrera of Guatemala had contributed $10,000 to President Roosevelt's campaign in 1904. Those who were familiar with the fund, however, said they knew nothing of any such contribution. The statement was credited to a German official in Centra' America. Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 20 According to democratic leaders who have been to Fairview and conferred with Mr. Bryan, the ability of the democratic party to obtain the negro vote in Ohio will depend largely on the attitude of Senator Foraker. So long as he remains outside the republican breastworks, at least as regards Judge Taft, the democrats feel assured of large negro support in that state. Holding as they do, tho balance of political power, there being somethinglike 60,000 of them, the negroes in the Ohio campaign will be a most important factor. Should, however. Senator Foraker become reconciled and lend b! support to Taft, it is believed that there is little probability of enrolling a sufficient number of negro voters In the cause of democracy materially to affect the result in Ohio. Former Attorney-General Frank S Monnett of Columbus, and E. H. Moore ot Youngstown, who was chairman of he last democratic state convention in Ohio, are today speeding home after e conference with Mr. Bryan last night. J wit hinstrucllons to size up the poli-

The man with whom he collided, Jesse Sharp, was also Injured. FREIGHT TRAFFIC INCREASES. With the Indiana roads, and those f Ohio, a marked increase in freight traffic has been shown during the last week. Grain is moving in considerable quantities from Ohio, and is beginning to move from Indiana and Illinois, and another wck will see a large per cent of the idle cars in service. MURDERED OX LEVEE. In a pool of blood, the head bent to tin- knees, the body of Carrie Hayden Pereifield, divorced wife of Curtlss Perclflel.l, was found today on the levee west of the Second street bridge. John I 'ndei wood, a former motorman of Columbus, who is commonly known as "Hoc," is under arrest charged with her murder. PREACHES OUT OF DOORS.

Booh of Columbus, will preach from the fronl steps of his church, so that his sermon may be heard by his congregation while they sit in their carlages and automobiles and on the library lawn. A large arc light will illuminate the stone pulpit and the choir will be stationed near the minister. CAR WORKS BUSIER. The management of the American Car and Foundry company reports considerable improvement In business the last two weeks. At the present time the company is employing 2.0Q0 raon men than it did six weeks ago, but the rompany's fourteen less important plants are still practically idle. Order; are beginning to come in more freely, however, and others of the plants will be started in the near future. tical situation and take every advantage of the Foraker-Taft feud. William Berri, proprietor of the Brooklyn Standard-Union, has beer, proposed for the republican nomination for governor of New York. Coal miners of the Bloomington district have indorsed the candidacy of Adlai E. Stevenson, former vice president of the United States, for the democratic nomination for governor of Illinois. In the present national campaign it is expected that both parties will put forth extraordinary efforts to capture the colored vote. Heretofore the colored vote has rceivd only moderate attention. The first political wager to be recorded in Chicago on the presidential election was a bet of $1,000 that Taft would be elected. The wager was made at odds of 2 to 1, the man who took the Bryan end putting up 500. The socialists of Oklahoma will put a complete state ticket in the field, according to Secretary Branditetter, who maintains tho party will pol betwecr15,000 and 20,000 votes in Oklahoma this fall.

Indiana Harbor, Ind., July 21. (Special) The game of ball Sunday between the Whiting Shamrocks and the Indiana Harbor team almost developed into a riot. In the third Inning the score stood 3 to 0 in favor of Whiting. The home team had one man on first and Galvin, the Harbor catcher, was at bat. The Shamrock pitcher threw a shoot which Galvin tried to dodge but wasn't quick enough and the result was he got in on the head. The umpire ordered the batter to take first and then the trouble started. Whiting wouldn't stand for the decision, although Gal vin was clearly entitled to his base, they claiming he got hit intentionally. It is hardly like that the catcher deliberately poked his head in front of one of Hughe's fast shoots, although the ball players quite frequently hand out other parts of their anatomy as targets for the pitchers's curves. The umpire gave the Whiting team the necessary time required by the rules and when they then refused to go on with the game declared it forfeited to Indiana Harbor, 9 to 0. - THE PRICE OF WISDOM." Were you born in July? Then you should wear a ruby. Think of their richness in simile. Wine has been ruby red for long ages. Poets' sweethearts invariably have ruby lips. Macbeth's shuddering "and keep the ruby color of your cheeks" is classic. The great ruby in the British crown was given the Black Prince by bom Pedro of Castile in 1367. Fine specimens of from one to five karrats sell for a number of times as much as diamonds of like sizew and quality. The finest "pigeon's blood" rubies are to be found in northern Burmah. From other places the color varies greatly. And, as we may read if we will, "the price of wisdom is above rubies."
