"I used to transact a great deal of business with an old farmer in north ern Indiana," said O. M. Packard the other day, "and I 6o not recall having known a man that made use of more peculiar expressions. It seemed that he could not understand the correct spelling of ordinary business terms. : Ho raked and scraped around until he accumulated enough money to buy a few government bonds, and I well remember the air of delight on his face whenever he came to cut off the coupons. 4 'Well, ' he would say with a chuckle, 'I've come in today to cut off my cowpens.' . After awhile he branched out into the money-loaning business and quite often he would come across a piece of property that he wanted but that had a mortgage covering the greater part of its value. He would pay so much for the owner's equity oj remaining interest in the land and then come to me and ask me to make out a deed to the property. "Make it so as to show that I consume the mortgage,' he would invariably say, meaning of course, 'assume' the mortgage. Well, he 'consumed a good many mortgages before he passed to the better world."

FRIGHTFUL DEATH

Brakeman Ground to Pieces near Summit Switch Early Friday Morning. Dale Darling, a flagman on one of the Pennsylvania vork trains, was found dead Fridayjmorning at about 5 o'clock near the Summit switch. The work train made the switch to let the morning paper train pass going east and Darling went ahead with his signal lantern in the performance of his duty. A freight passed after the paper train and the man doubtless attempted to board it to return to his own train, as one of the train men made the ghastlv discovery. The unfortunate man was hanging head downward, with one leg caught in the stirrup of the car, and had apparently been dragged some distance in that position, as his head was badly cut and pounded and he was dead when found. It is supposed that in catching the ladder on the car he slipped and fell, being caught by the leg in the stirrup and falling heavily backward so as to hang with his head dragging over the ends of the ties. The dead man was not recognized as a railroad employe and the freight crew, supposing him to be a tramp, placed him by the side of the track and went on. He was found there later by his comrades who had missed him and were looking.for him with a handcar. The body was brou it into the city and taken to Bunnell's undertaking establishment to be prepared for burial. The railroad ajrent at Etna Green, where the man's home was, was notified of the occurrence and two of his brothers came after the remains on the morning accommodation, his parents being in Ohio on a visit. They returned to Etna Green on the mail train and the body was sent to Ohio in the evening. The clothing of the unfortunate man was torn to shreds and his body was frightfully mangled and lacerated. The face was cut and gashed in many places, the scalp torn off, the flesh literally ground off the back, the viscera protruding, the left leg badly broken, and many cuts and contusions appeared all over the body, more especially about the head, back and shoulders. It is surmised that he was either instantly killed or rendered unconscious by the fall, as it must have been a heavy one and he must have struck on the back of his head and shoulders against the tics while the train was moving rapidly. The deceased was young and unmar ried, of powerful muscular develop ment and in perfect health. He board ed at Ulrica's. 2so examination of the car on which he met his death has been' made to learn whether it is defective. IMMENSE PILING JOB Greatest in History of World's Railroads Just Done at Pittsburg. The Pittsburg Post says that a firm of that city has completed the great est pile driving job in the history of the world's railroads. This woTk was necessary in building the new bridge for the Ft. Wayne road at that city. To protect the work on the new piers and abutments, and to place timber in the glacial channel of the Alle gheny river at a sufficient depth to reach a solid and permanent founda tion, 600,000 feet of .piles have been performed in about two months, and this good record was made in spite of delays occasioned by the piles en countering boulders in the filled up channel which made it necessary to drive several timbers where, under ordinary circumstances, one would have sufficed. When a pile met one of the Canadian granite boulders carried down from the north many ages ago, it was impossible to drive it to any greater depth and another timber had to be pounded down c!ose to the one which had met the obstruc tion. Suit Under Garnishment Law. Arley B. Stevenson, a Wabash räil way section man, brings suit against Stephens & Grider, Walkerton busi ness men, John II. Miller, of Chicago, and the Wabash Bailway company, to enjoin them fro?j proceeding with an attachment suit in a Chicago, justice's court, the same having resulted from a claim assigned to Miller by the Walkerton firm, which is contrary to a lately-passed Indiana law. He also brings suit for $3,000 damages for conspiracy and fraud against the Wal kerton firm, together with Miller, to whom their claim was assigned. Jaike-Strombeck. Nuptials. Frank E. Janke, deputy, county auditor, and Miss nuldah Strom beck, were married at the bride's home in South Plymouth Wednesday evening by Rev. O. S. Thornberry, pastor of ihe Presbyterian church. The contracting parties are among Plymouth's - most respected young people. The bast physic Chart berlain's Stom ach and Liver Tablets. . Easy to take. Pleasant in effect'. For eale by J. W.

A NASTY SPILL

D. C Smith Has a Narrow Escape in a Runaway. As D. C. Smith was returning from a country trip with O. J. Gudgell, of Indianapolis, a representative of the Superior Drill Co.Just at noon Friday, the team he was driving ran awav and spilled him unhurt in the mud, Gudgell having saved himself by climbing out of the buggy behind. The ponies, one of which belonged to Mr. Smith and the other to Paul Butcher, had never been driven together before. Smith's horse was a quiet animal but Butcher's was known to be fractious and was considered dangerous. They went all right throughout the forenoon but on the return, when passing the court house on Center street, the vicious one suddenly and without apparent cause threw up its head and began to run and kick, exciting the other one at the same time. Smith, who was driving, has but one arm but he is an expert and fearless horseman and held pluckily to the reins, though the team was utterly beyond control, until they came opposite J. B. Losey' s residence, when the tongue broke and the buggy went over, giving Mr. Smith a complete mud bath but leaving him otherwise uninjured. The horses ran on un checked and brought up against a platform at Linkcnhclt's elevator where Ed Giller caught and subdued them. Bevond the broken tongue of the buggy and the soiling of the occupants' garments no injury was done. INFECTIOUS OPTHALAUA IN CATTLE Suggestions For Treatment From Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. Since early in the spring reports lave been received from stockmen to the effect that a strange eye disease was affecting the cattle. There reports have been received from widely separated localities, showing that the dis ease has a quite general distribution. In some places the cattle simply have sore eves and in others the affection is more serious and a greater or less num;r go blind. The loss is not so much from the number that are blined, as to the unthriftincss occasioned, and to the diminished milk How in dairy cattle. This disease is infectious and When started in a herd is likely to attack a large per cent, of them before running its course. It occasionally affects sheep but rarely horses. It has been attributed to a variety of causes as the pollen from some plants, and to dust. The disease does usually occur at a season of the year when. both pollination and dust are at their most irritating stage, but we are inclined to believe that these are only secondary causes. The germs that have been found are pus producers. This Station regards the disease as one produced by a special organism. The disease is not new, having made its appearance in this State ten years ago, and remained ever since. The symptoms arc local and general. The body temperature is raised, the appetite interfered with, and rumina tion checked. In the mild cases these symptoms are not marked. When first affected one or both eyes are held nearly closed, the lids swell, and tears pour overthe face. A whitish film forms over the eyes which may become dense. The cornea may bulge for ward owing to the pressure of the abscess from within. Yellow spots from the size of a pinhead to that of a grain of corn form and from the margin will radiate reddish lines. These are ab scesses and when they heal .whitish scars will take their places. One eye mav be attacked aud then the other The course will last from three to six weeks, but it rarely happens that there is complete blindness in both eyes. The treatment is comparatively simple. Keep the badly affected cattle in the shade of a woods, or in the barn if necessary, during the middle of the day, to prevent aggravation. Locally, apply equal parts of finely powdered boracic acid and calomel, by means of a small insect powder blower. This can be done quickly with little restraint and is preferable to an eye wash for the cow.

BIG DAM PROJECT

Electricity From Water Power to be Fur nished Northern Indiana Cities. The St. Joseph and Elkhart Tower company is at work arranging all tiic preliminaries for one of the largest electric enterpriese of this part of the country. "When the big dam which is being built across the St. Joseph river at Twin Branches is completed one of the greatest steps in the ad vancement and industrial progress of the St. Joseph valley will be consummated. The benefit derived from the enterprise of the company can hardly be estimated, says the South Bend Tribune. The successful termination of the plans of the company means the gen eration of a quantity of electricity re presented by about 7,000 horse power. It is the intention of the promoters of the gigantic enterprise to furnish the power to consumers at a rate so low that the cheap means of furnishing motive power will be an induce ment to factories or establishments which arc desiring a location conducive to the best interests of the companies operating them. By utilizing the water supply of the St. Joseph river the power company will be enabled to furnish the low rates so much desired by new enterprises and just what the outcome will be is a matter of conjecture. At any rate the future of this section of the country is filled with bright prospects. 2so work on the dam proper will be begun until next spring, at which time the company expects to have everything in readiness for the completion of the dam in about two months, although it is not likely the plant will be in running operation in less than a year from the present time. All the work undertaken now is preliminary to the construction of the power station which the company intends to have built by the end of the year. As the river rarely freezes up it is likely work will be continued throughout the winter. POTATOES AS FOOD Pjcc Double Discounts the Shoddy Aris tocrat of the Vegetable Market While the price of potatoes in the Chicago market is so astonishingly hierh it is well to call attention to the fact that although used almost univer sally they are by no means an indis pensable article of diet. Rice for food purposes is not only cheap but distincity superior to the costly potato. A useful word of advice, therefore, is to stop eating potatoes until they -can be purchased at a reasonable price and to eat rice instead. According to Prof. W. O. Atwater, the well-known expert on the value of foods, a laboring man of average weight and doing moderate work requires the following nourishment daily: Four and four-tenths ounces of prot ein, which may be supplied by eight ounces of lean beefsteak. Four and four-tenths ounces of fat, lard which may be supplied by butter, and fat meats. Fourteen and four-tenths ounces of carbohydrates, which may be supplied by 20 ounces of bread and 30 ounces of potatoes or 8 ounces of rice. Thus it will be seen that rice has three and a half times the nutritive value of an equal weight of potatoes. Furthermore, the quantity of digestible matter in rice is much greater than the quantity in potatoes. In its advanced and chronic form a cold in the bead- is known as Nasal Ca tarrh and is the recognized source of other diseases.
