WONDERFUL WORK ON

THOSE WHO HAVE CRITICIZED the Panama canal project on the ground that the government is undertaking something that it will never

be able to see through, should make a personal investigation of the work. From the strictly technical point of view it may be time that there are still unsurmountable obstacles in the way to the layman, but to the professional eye it certainly does not seem that such is the case. The cut has now been made straight across the isthmus and is being widened and deepened in accordance with the specific dimensions. The government has inaugurated one of the most perfect systems for carrying on the work imaginable. It has ben through this that so mach headway has already been made and that the canal today is further advanced than was anticipated. As for sanitation there is absolutely nothing that has been left undone. A campaign against disease of every character has been in progress for several years. So thorough and systematic has it been that all the tropical maladies, which were a menace to the workers on the isthmus, have all ben stamped out. THE GOLDEN JUBILEE FAIR THIS WEEK. .LAKE COUNTY IS TO HAVE the biggest fair in its history. It Is the golden jubilee and homecoming week for the Lake County Agricultural association. The great attraction merits a monster attendance. Everybody in Lake county, who can visit the fair, should do so. The advice, perhaps, is unnecessary, but nevertheless it does no harm to point out the fact that the attractions at the fair are so numerous and so well worthy of being seen by all Lake county people and people from the neighboring counties that the exhortation will not at least be welcome to the directors and officials of the fair association who have labored so hard to make it a success. It is especially deserving of attendance from North township. The fair officials this year have made arrangements for splendid train service over the Erie and promises have been made by the railroad that its patrons will not be treated as they have been in previous visits to the Lake county fair. The county seat is now at its best and it is worth the time to see and pretty Lake county capital alone. By all means go to the County Fair. THE ILLINOIS CAPITAL CAME BY IT HONESTLY.

Talks, By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A- Nye. WE DONT KNOW MUCH. It behooves the scientist to sing low these days. Heretofore he has been rather too dogmatic. If, for instanceRadium may be changed into helion then some of the "well settled principles of science" are knocked into smithereens. The discovery of radium itself was a hard blow. Truth is a powerful wedge. It splits theory logs smack open. The prating of the sure enough who is certain of his conclusions is often made to sound like the puerile prattling of a child talking in the dark. A learned professor Haeckel in his book "Kiddie of the Universe" takes several kinds of kinks out of the boastful know-all. He says we don't know much. And comes mighty near proving It. He says we play at putting up big things high buildings, great bridges, huge engines and such. But he says we do not know even a little bit about how to prevent murder, suicide, theft and poverty. He hits us hard there. "We boast of our civilization and point to Its Indices railroads, machines, news transmitters, etc. Why, Diogenes made fun of that sort of "progress" 2,000 years ago. He got but his tub and rolled it through the streets ot Athens and said, "That is all there Is to your boasted progress" simply making the wheels go round. Haeckel eays we don't know much about a man. We don't know where he got either his mind or his body. We don't know very much about how he can best use either body or mind. We don't know very much about the proper relation of men to government. Our political economy stops short of the problem of distribution. Haeckel says we know scarcely any thing about the prevention of crime. Sin and suffering are problems as serious as In David's time. He tells us it is the fault of our educational system that we do , not know more. He says our education skips the really Important things. Maybe. Anyway, we don't know much. the pulpit and even In the preachers' cushion chair is too much sacrifice Just for the satisfaction of the owners. Don't allow your little pets to follow you to church. Piano (Tenn.) Star-Courier. WHEX A PERSON GETS SO THAT THEY WEIGH OVER 170 POUNDS, THEY SURELY OUGHT TO CUT OUT DANCING. Smith's Ran. A face lit tie hit took Smith to first.

Sensible female can Pass him op for Some other Chop. King Alfonso would look much more like a king or a prince or something if he would only let his alfalfas grow. People seldom get that tired feeling from carrying the burden of others. Culture has Just had another uplift. They have pulled off a gum-chewing contest in one of Chicago's haughty suburbs. Tell any man you have a good deal of work to do and he will simply giggle la his sleeve at you. A Campalgo Contribution. We are under obligations to Walter Hoffman and return most profound thanks to him. He has very kindly turned over for our use free of charge till after the election his best standard bred and registered four-year-old trotting mare. Hundreds have said, "I hope you wilt get there," but he furnishes us the one thing most needful, a good roadster to drive to the meetings, while Beck Dillon raises her colt. Words can but feebly express our gratitude. Bussey Patterson also offered us the use of his two-year-old roadster, for which he also has our profound thanks. Bloomfleld (Iowa) Farmer. THERE IS, HOWEVER, SOME ADVANTAGE IN BEING RICH ENOUGH TO HAVE ONE'S DIVORCE ARRANGED BY A REFEREE.

UP AND DOWN

WILL PROMOTE MORALITY. The Thornton club, an organization formed for the purpose of promoting morality, filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state yesterday. The headquarters of the organization will be in Indianapolis, and it will have an executive board consisting of three members. HUNTS FOR WAYWARD WIFE. The Indianapolis police were asked yesterday to search for a missing wife. Frank Ford, 1348 Roach street, in North Indianapolis, reported that his wife left home one week ago today, and that she has not returned. He said he feared she had deserted him and gone away with another man. EMPLOY CHILD LABOR. On the strength of affidavits sworn out by David F. Spees. deputy inspector in the state factory inspector's office, in Justice of the Peace Huntchlnson's court In Indianapolis yesterday J. W. Jackson & Sons, manufacturers of overalls and jackets, were summoned tc appear before Justice Hutchinson Au gust 26 on the charge of employing three girls In the factory under 16 years of age. ROLLO II. OGLES BEE DEAD. After an illness of less than three hours, Rollo B. Oglesbee, head of the banking department in the office of the auditor of state, died yesterday morning shortly after 3 o'clock at his home, 2621 Sutherland avenue. The family was around shortly before midnight by his gasps for breath, and by the time of the arrival of a physician he was dead. MORE OIL CAN FATALITIES. Use of coal oil in kindling a kitchen fire, coupled with a mother's love for her child, resulted tonight in Mrs. Ed ward Irons of Terre Haute and her 18 months-old baby, Gertrude, being burned to death. Mrs. Irons was once out of danger of the flames, but turned back to save her child, only to lose her own life. MYSTERY IN YOUTHS DEATH. Mystery surrounds the death at Waterloo, Iowa, last Thursday night, of Alonzo Rice, a young man who formerly lived near Whlteland. His body, with a bullet wound In the head, was found early Friday morning in an alley near the center of the city. Nearby was a revolver with one empty chamber. IN POLITICS Reports from the Creek townships in the south part of Lake county Indicate that there will be some scrap down there this year between the democrats and republicans. The democrats are cheering up down there and expect to do big things. John Wilson, candidate for recorder on the democratic ticket, who is hustling up and down Lake county in search of votes, has sprung a new wrinkle on his cards. He presents a card to the voter bearing the legend, "John Wilson, candidate for recorder of Lake county.' John says nothing about his politics, whether he be democrat or republican or prohibitionist, and the man who meets John and passes the time of day with him, looks at the card and at John and if he Is a democrat he thinks, "Oh, well, he must be a democrat, of course" and decides to vote for John; while if he be a republican he says, "Of course he must b3 a republican," and takes it for granted. Foxy? Eh? Vincennes, Ind., Aug. 18. Thomas E. Marshall spoke at the Vincennes Chautauqua Monday afternoon. He declared that 80 per cent of all people were democrats at heart and that the rest were republicans or aristocrats. He ridiculed the Chicago convention and spoke of it as the plaything of the bosses. In speaking of the publishing of the campaign fund expenses he said the republicans were afraid to make known what they would spend, and declared that no one gave him campaign money. He declared that he borrowed money on his own account from his home bank. He ridiculed the republicans' campaign on county and local option and said his party's solution of the liquor question was the only safe one. He promised his audience that if elected he would not meddle with the legislature nor interfere with the Judges, but would enforce the laws through the courts and not through the Chautauquas. Mr. Marshall was serenaded at the Grand hotel last night by the Flrit regiment band and held an Informal reception, which was attended by many persons. He was accompanied by Mrs. Marshall. Greencastle The democrats of Putman county will open the campaign in this city, Sept. 12. Thomas R. Marshall will speak. Princeton Gibson county democrats will meet here August 20 to nominate a county ticket. Mayor Boehne of Evansville will be one of the speakers. South Bend The republicans of the Thirteenth district are arranging for meetings In every county of the district. This was decided on at a meetins held here, which was attended by

Brought to Indianapolis from Peru, Ind., by means of a decoy letter offer ing him a position, according to his own story, Grover Reynolds, a well dressed young man, was arrested last night by Detectives Larsh and Gerber on a charge of having obtained money under false pretense. C. W. RIDDICK'S WIFE SICK. Carl W. Rlddlck, secretary of the republican state committee, is at Ms home at Winimac at the bedside of his ! wife, who is suffering from nervous prostration. Secretary Riddick left Indianapolis Saturday for his home. For a month Mrs. Riddick was at I.akWinona, where she hoped to get strong. i PLANS A HOOSIER ZION. Thomas H. Glover of Chicago, semi-leltgious-erlucational reformer, was in Indianapolis yesterday and at a meeting held at the Sherman house last night addressed a number of his followers on his plans for the founding of a city in Brown county, near Pomona, Ind., where it is his intention to give free rein to his theories and ideas of what an ideal educational and religious system should be. ORDER SALE OF COMPANY. In the superior court at Anderson today Judge C. M. Greenlee ordered the Elwood Trust company, receiver for the Citizens' Gaslight and Fuel company of Elwood, to sell to the highest bidder at public sale to satisfy the demands of the American Trust and Savings bank of Chicago for $375,000 on foreclosure proceedings. FATHER SEES BOY DROWNED. Within 100 yards of where his father was fishing yesterday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock, "Willie Curson, 11 years old of 430 East Market street, was drowned in Fall creek north of the Thirtieth street bridge. No one was near the lad when he went down In the water, which is about fifteen feet deep, and hen taken out of the stream a few moments later he was dead. UNIONS TO STICK TO ACTION. At a meeting of the Bituminous Operators' association at Terre Haute last night it was decided to stand by the action of Tuesday night, August 11, and not to allow the "checkoff" in the mines of the eleventh district. Hopes of an early settlement of the difficulty and strike were blasted by the action tonight. John L. Moorman of Knox; Wilson Roose of Elkhart; F. E. Games of Plymouth; Perry Smith of Warsaw; William Wright of Rochester, and Joseph Riggs of Francisvllle. William Strother Cowherd, who has been nominated by the democrats for governor of Missouri, has practiced law in Kansas City since 1882, in which year he was graduated from the University of Missouri law school. He represented the fifth Missouri district in congres sfrom 1897 to 1905. He was mayor of Kansas City from 1892 to 1894. While in congress he was the chairman of the democratic nationtl congressional committee. He was born in Missouri in 1860. William Hayward, the new secretary of the republican national committee, and who is to have charge of the presidential campaign in the west, is but CI years old. He has the distinction of being the youngest Judge and the youngest brigadier general in his native state, Nebraska, and the youngest state chairman in the country. He is a son of the late M. L. Hayward, who was elected to the United States senats from Nebraska in 1902 and died on the day he was to take his seat. Lawton T. Hemans of Mason probably will be chosen as the democratic can didate for governor of Michigan. Mr. Hemans is described as a real orator, a student, a writer of history, a lawyer, and a politician. As a member of the state legislature and delegate to the constitutional convention, he mada a good record and attached to himself many Influential friends who are prominent in Michigan affairs. Whichever one of the three aspirants for the republican nomination is named it is predicted that Mr. Hemans will give htm a close race. The interest in the political situation is being revived. Groups of politicians and others may be see ndiacussing the fallacies of this or that platform and some arguments have become very heated. It will be the same old story, and the republicans titlnk they have the best of it because they have had twelve years to think up reasons for not electing the Peerless leader. Thomas R. Marshall, democratic nominee for governor, made a political speech at the Vincennes Chautauqua today. He was introduced by O. II. Cobb, judge of the Knox circuit court. Tonight he was serenaded by the First regiment band at the Grand hotel, where he held an Informal reception. The weather man is the biggest politician n the country. By simply continuing' the drouth he might have put a serious kink in the republicans' chances of electing their ticket. As it happened he proved to be a pretty good republican this year, and with prices as high as they are the farmers will clean up about eight billion dollars this year.
