Traveling men from St. Louis have a novel way of advertising their town as well as the approaching world's fair. When registering at hotels they write the figures "1904" after their name. So if you happen to take a peep at the local hotel register and find a "John Smith, 1904" you 'will readily catch on that he Is from St. Louis. - Indiana has the smallest proportion of negroes of any State that borders on the South. The last census gave the negro population of Indiana as 57505. Of these 41,225, or 72 per cent, live in the cities, while the remainder, or 28 per cent, are found in the Incorporated towns and rural districts.

Some of the papers of the country are lampooning unmercifully the attempt of some school boards In Kansas to regulate the sparking of schoolmarms in that commonwealth.

The Hess family reunion at the fair grounds Thursday was attended by 120 members of the family residing in Northern Indiana, Ohio. Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Georgia and other states, The rain somewhat Interfered with the program, but they had a big dinner and a jolly time In-doors. We hope to he able to give a full report In a few days. The trouble Secretary Downing, of the state fair board, Is having with billposters is said to have led him to determine to advertise through newspapers exclusively hereafter, if he can obtain permission of the board. It ought not to have required anything further to lead to this reform than the obvious fact that newspaper ad vertising reaches people, and is, there fore, more profitable. The chariot race in the Klaw & Erlanger production of "Ben Hur," to be presented at the Auditorium for the week beginning Monday, Sept. 7, is the most perfect incident of stage realism ever invented and by long odds, the most startling. Twelve horses will be used on the Auditorium stage in this famous scene. These animals are thoroughbreds, and rep resent a cost of many thousands of dollars. Four extra horses are carried to provide for accidents. Although the play has been before the public for more than five years, no mishap has ever occur-ed, which speaks well for the perfection of the mechanism by which the race is accomplished, and the sensitive care of the management. These horses, the 12 concerned In the race, gallop on treadmills, sunk two inches in the stage, resting on move able platforms, which are manipulated on railway tracks in front of a huge cyclorama. Suicide of Mrs. James Castle man. Mrs. Castleman, wife of James Castleman, the grain dealer of Culver, drowned herself in Lake Maxinkuckee Wednesday evening. She had been in declining health for two or three years and her mind was somewhat affected by her long illness, but no one thought of her taking her life. Mr. Castleman took the children over to the assembly in the evening to witness an illustrated or panoramic lecture leaving her at home with the hired girl. About 8:30 o'clock Mrs. Castleman told the girl to go over and assist a neighbor who was sick and she would go to bed. She was partially undressed when the girl left, but after the girl was gone she put on her dress and went out to the Kratzburger pier. Some parties in a boat saw her and asked her if she had lost anything or needed any assistance? She replied in the negative. They thought she acted strangely but she remained on the pier until they were out of sight then she removed her shoes, jumped into the lake and was drowned. When Mr. Castleman came" home and found her gone he at once instituted a search, soon found her shoes on the pier and her body was recovered about ten o'clock. Johnson and Bryan. One of the resolutions adopted by the Ohio democrats on Wednesday contained a pressing invitation to Mr. Bryan to take a leading part In that state. Information from Lincoln, Neb., is to the effect that an acceptance has already been forwarded. As the democratic nominee for United States senator to succeed Mr. Hanna is not only a gold democrat and a 'corporation lawyer" but a man who actively supported Palmer and Buckner in 1896, it will be interesting to note the enthusiasm with which the distinguished orator of the Platte valley will address himself to some other aspect of the contest. Tom Johnson Is a resourceful political leader who believes in having more than one string to his bow. If Mr. Bryan expects to keep on friendly terms with him he will have to forego in hU Ohio speechmaking the demand which he has insisted upon elsewhere that the Palmer and Buckner men musj beg pardon or apply at once for accommodations in the republican party. Chicago Chronicle. Large Coins. ' It is said that the largest gold coin now in circulation is the gold ingot, or "lool," of Anam, a French colon in Eastern Asia. It is a flat, round gold piece, and on It is written In Indian ..ink its value, which is about forty-five pounds. The next sized coin to this valuable but . extremely awkward one is the "obang," of Japan, which is worth about ten pounds, and next comes the Ebenda," of Ashantee, which represents a value of about nine pounds. The California Jfifty-dollar gold piece is worth about the . same as the "benda." The heaviest silver piece in the world beolngs to Anam, where the silver.lnot is worth about ViAl V v LJUiMJj CtaJ UJmwJ luv Viiluww "tael,"ond then the Austrian double thaler.

"A. Johnson, Tailor." President Andrew Johnson lived at

Greenville, a town of 1800 population, and one of the oldest in Tennessee, about sixty miles northwest of Knoxville. The building be occupied for a shop when following his trade still stands, and the old sign is allowed to remain in its place over the door, reading, "A. Johnson, Tailor." Every now 2nd then some old citizen turns up one of his receipted bills for making or repairing garments. He left no son, and the Patterson family, the desoendantsof his daughter, still occupy his former residence. Chicago Evening Post. Advocates Early Corn Planting. Jake Nerber, living south of Albion. Mich., is a strong advocate of the early planting of corn, and his success with the cereal would seem to indicate that bis belief is founded on correct principles. Last year it snowed after bis corn was planted, and yet be raised 400 bushels of good corn from three acres. This year he planted on May 9. and Sunday brought an ear of field corn to town that was fully developed, though still in the milk. It weighed one pound and nine ounces, and had a circumference like a young tree. Whitewash and Vermin. A writer in the Scientific American says he has cleared bis premises of vermin by making whitewash yellow with copperas and covering the stones and rafters in the cellar with it. In every crevice in which a rat might gohe put the copperas' and scattered it in the corners of the floor. The result was a complete disappearance; of rats and mice. Since that timt not a rat or mouse has been seen near the bouse. Every spring the cellar is coated with tne yellow whitewash as a purifier and rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the family Street Fair and Carnival. The Knights of Pythias have contracted with a street fair and carnival company for a big fair in Plymouth during the week commencing September 14. All the features of this entertainment are said to be moral and of interest to everybody and the K. P's say that no gambling of any kind will be allowed. Marshall county has never had a street fair and the Knights expect thirty thousand people here during the week. Trials Should be Speedy. Chesterton Tribune: One of the principal witnesses in the Beam murder trial has disappeared in the person of the Valparaiso undertaker, Frank. Lepell. The state loses by delay in this kind of a trial, while invariably the defense profits by delay, especially when the defendant is guilty. Speedy trials and swift punishments should be the aim of the courts lu all cases where life is Involved. He Was Called (0 Preach. Booker Washington tells a story like this: A negro was employed to work in a cotton field, and worked well for a time, then he raised his hand and turned his face toward heaven and said: "Oh Lawd, de cotton am so dry, anr de sun am so hot, an' de flesh am bo weary dat dis niggah feels he's done got a call to preach." f De Pauw Out of Debt The most successful summer term at DePauw University has closed.
