Germany is now exporting more bicycles than the United States. American makers of wheels, who once commanded the markets of the world, have let this trade ;et away from them by failure to study the requirements of other countries for heavier, stronger and simpler machines.

Emperor William is a shrewd man. lie is formulating a plan by which graduates of some of the best German universit'es will be sent to America for post graduate workln return for the large number of Americans who go to Germany for that purpose.

Within ten years the present furore for multiplicity of pages la daily newspapers will have changed. Newspapers will reduce the number of their pages, the size of type used in advertisements will be reduced and the size of the papers will be made proportionately smaller, while the colored pages and the silly trash that take up so much space will be abandoned. Mark this for future reference. Elkhart Review.

The argument now going on before the Alaskan boundary, commission, in London, Is a sharp contest of wits, anri as all the mambers of the commission on both side? are lawyers, the case will probably be decided on legal points. The contention on the part of the United States that its claim rests on the Russo-Brltish treaty of 1826, and cannot be affected by subsequent events Is entirely consistent, and if admitted, there will be an end of the case. -

Pine trees grow well on the prairie sand hills. , In a few years a young forest grows into luxuriant life. The moisture in the soil is protected and the new forest growth prevents the rush of flood waters t jthc valleys and the destruction which ä river deluge would produce. To raise trees is less expensive and more efficient than the plans of irrigation.

Considerable advice is being tendered President Roosevelt concerning the Panama canal matter some to Jet it dritt a few weeks and again to act promptly In favor of the Nicaraguan route. It Is probable the President understands the inside and all sides of the question better than any of his advisers, and will do the right thing at the right time. The victory of Parks in the Kansas City convention of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers is a most surprising event, and one that will prove costly to unionism generally, for it be pointed to by its event, and one that will prove costly to unionism generally. ,or it will be pointed to by its enemies as an illustration of the grade of morals fostered by labor organizations.

The bJcago Chronicle, tbat staunch organ of western democracy, in a lengthy editorial on the proposed boycotting of the president by the Central Labor unton, among other sound criticisms utters this prophetic warning: "Now, 4f those concerned in this business wish to make sure of the nomination and election of President Roosevelt next year by about 3,000,000 majority, they cannot do anything better calculated to accomplish their purpose than to carry their threat to boycott him into full execution."

The law authorizing the president to select the route for an isthmian canal provides that "should the president be unable, to obtain for the United States a satisfactory title to the property of the Panama Canal Company and the control of the necessary territory of the republic of Colombia, and the rights mentioned in Sections 1 and 2 of the act, within a reasonable time and upon reasonable terms, then the president shall," after arranging necessary preliminaries, direct work to begin on the NIcaraguan route;

Some day, no doubt, science will discover a cure for tuberculosis, but It

must be confessed that the investiga-

tions of experts have not up to this

time added greatly to the fund of in

formation upon which a search for the

remedy must be based.

The experts tell us little that was not known before and when they do

profess to discover new facts the discoveries are of small importance. It makes no particular difference.

for instance, whether pulmonary

tuberculosis can be inherited or not

Professor Von Behring, the German

Investigator, has just announced posi

tively that it cannot be inherited.

But if a predisposition to the disease

a constitutional inability to resist it can be inherited, the result is the

same as if the disease itself were

capable of hereditary transmission.

The patient contracts the disease just

the same as if he inherited it from

his parents.

And that appears to be the truth

with respect to much pulmonary

tuberculosis. We often hear that a

person is afraid of consumption "be

cause it runs in the family." Professor Von Behring would say that

the disease does not ruu in the family,

but that the members of the family

are constitutionally unable to resist

the attacks of the tuberculosis bacillus.

It is tüus evident that the hope of

people in whose families consumption "runs" is to avoid the infection. In

other words, the ounce of prevention is worth more to them than a pound of cure because they are particularly hard to cure. It is of the utmost importance that such people should exercise every precaution against Infection, and this Is really the only reliable prophylaxis tbat is thus far available. Chicago Chronicle.

NEWSPAPER SUCCESS

Loye at First Sight. When Perry C. Smith, of this city, went to Chicago about seven weeks a0 he little thought that he was going to meet his prospective wife on the train. And little did Miss Annabel Mitchell, of Rochester, Ind., think that she was sitting down beside her future husband when she sat down on the seat beside Mr. Smith on the train. Such, however, was the case, and the two were . married yesterday by the Rev. J. N. Canfield, of the Bismarck-avenue Christian Church- At the time Miss Mitchell sat down beside him Mr. Smith was asleep, but when he awoke he was so taken with the pretty young woman that he began to talk to her. Soon their acquaintance ripened into friendship, and soon Into love. Mr. Smith is manager of the Smith Cream Separating Company, of this city. After a short Eastern tour the couple will make their home in Indianapolis. Indianapolis Journal. Medical Speculation. If one were to believe all the stories that medical speculation gives rise to he would conclude that the end of the human race was nearing. The avenues for the approach of death have multiplied very fast in the few years lately gone and death lurks In every grass -plat, In every shady nook, in every pet animal's fur, In every garment bougt in every old thing, in addition to the diseases our fathers knew, and these are increasing their voracity for human life in wonderful degrees. It is getting to be painful to live and even dangerous to die tor fear the microbes will accompany us to the next world and infect that. Elkhart Review.

Judge Haggard Tells How Best to Ac

complish This,

Somebody has said that friendship to a newspaper is often disaster to a newspaper; friendship gets between an .editor's feet, trips him, and over he goes on his nose. To succeed with a newspaper it is only required that you interest folks, you do that even more thoroughly when you kick a man

into the gutter, than when you help

him out. The wise thing for a news

paper to do is to list its enemies as an

asset and its friends as a liability.

And this person might have added

that the best way to interest folks is

always to tell the truth, and always be ,on the right side of questions which concern the public. This is the only way jto secure confidence, and

confidence is the mainspring of news

paper success. When a newspaper has

acquired a reputation in thecommun

ity of absolute reliability, so that everybody accepts it as authority and

it Is quoted because it can be relied on Dever to lie nor mislead, that news

paper is already a si ccess. Lafay

ette Journal, Pasturing Winter Wheat.

We notice that the plan of pastur

ing winter wheat in some states is quite common, and that the results

are not only satisfactory but helpful.

In other words, if the wheat is sown early and is njt pastured, the growth

made before the setting in of winter

is so great that the crop, if left un

eaten, will be more or less injured for

the next year's growth.

Experiments have been conducted

In Oklahoma at the experiment station there at Stillwater with a view to ascertain the best time, for sowing winter wheat and also incidentally the benefit from pasturing the . same. During four years past ground plowed in July gave a yield of 30 bushels per acre; that plowed in August. 27.07 bushels per acre; that plowed in September, 25.65 bushels. The sowing of the crop is usually done in September. It Is a common practice to pasture wheat in certain sections of Kansas during a considerable portion of the winter, aud when thus pastured it is claimed that in many instances better crops are obtained than when It is not pastured. It would be possible, nevertheless, to overdo the grazing. When it is not overdone the tendency Is to make the plants stool out more than they otherwise would Highwaymen's Wit. - Two masked highwaymen held ud Tax Assessor Arthur, at Omaha, early Thursday morning. Arthur had worked at his office in the city hall until midnight and was returning to his home with tax books and blanks under his arm. In fr-H of his residence two high way n on stepped from behind trees.. Both wore half masks and shoved revolvers against Arthur's cheek. 'Up with Your hands," was the command, 'and get 'ein, up quick." "Don't shoot," pleaded the assessor, "I can't move my arms unless I drop the tax books. " "Are you the tax assessor?" questioned one of the highwaymen. "Put down the books and show us." Arthur did as he was directed. The pair looked at the books and one said: "Come on, Harry, and let 'im alone. He's a bigger robber than either of u?. Ha ought to have a card in the unlca." President Harper's Good Time. President Harper of Chicago has returned from Constantinople with a permit to explore the ruins of ancient Assyria' and with a revised and better opinion of the Sultan. It requires some moral courage to defeud "Abdul the Damned." Doubtless the Turk does not deserve all the opprobrium heaped upon him and the Sultan has accomplished some useful reforms, as Dr. Harper says; but that does not oblige us to yield the opinion that the Turkish rule is .the sum of all governmental villainies. - Abdul Hamid is one of the most adroit statesmen and most pleasant gentlemen in royal circles' The impression of Constantinople upon visitors of consequence usually is agreeable. We fear Dr. Harper tad too goxl a time abroad. Indianapolis Stir.

No American Horse Type. Notwithstanding the importance of horse-breeding as an industry - in tbiJ country, there Is at this time no distinctly American horse type. The racing thoroughbred is English, the heavy draft-horse Is French, the hackney is English, and the trotting horse, as bred at present for track and road service, is not a type at all. An animal type cannot be said to be established until it reproduces itself with reasonable certainty. From John Gilmer Speed's "The Horse In America" in the September Century.

Postoffice Investigation. A special from Washington says: .

Some of the arriving politicians bring

word that republicans high in the house councils from the west are In

clined to' an extensive Investigation

by congress of the postofflce department. Such a contingency has been regarded lightly in inside official circles here. It has been argued all along that what Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Brlstow investigates will be investigated so carefully that congressmen with only a slight knowledge of the intricate postal affairs would find themselves hopelessly involved In trying to cover the ground he had already covered. That opinion may eventually prevail after Mr. Bristow's report has been read. But the political phases of the situation are none the less agitating: some of the house leaders who have

recently expressed the conviction that

the democrats are detarmined on trving to force a congressional investigation, and thai, it would be good politics to anticipate them by inaugurating such an investigation Immediately after congress meets. They hold

that the view will not prevail throughout the country that the present In

vestigation has exhausted all irregularities. They claim that public sentiment will call for an additional airing of the scandals and the assurance from congress that the postofflce department, has been swept clean' of grafters arid their followers. He Went First Rev. George Stuart, the Advent prophet who has been predicting the end of the world every year for the last half century, fin illy bad to go be fore his prophecies were fnl filled. He died the other day at the age of 92, and the world rolls on just as jf nothing had happened. It is not within the limit of man's comprehension or sight to foretell the event when time shall be no more and it illy becomes a human being to undertake any such prophecy. He is but interfering with that which is not his business and which he actually knovs nothing about. All of that belong to a higher power than was ever possessed by man. People who waste their time In figur ing out when the end of the world will come had much better spend it in trying to improve the condition of the . pilgrims who ar traveling through this vale of tears with them, as well as those who are to come after them. South Bend Tribune.

Canada Gets Busy. The Dominion of Canada is getting so hysterically anxious about the outcome of the meeting of the Alaskan boundary commission as to lead to the suspicion that her case is a very weak one indeed. "Every effort," said a Canadian in London the other day, is being made to stiffen the backs of the British representatives to resist the American demands." To the general public it will be news that the Americans are making any demands. The whole point at issue is the question as to whether the British demands are justified by the treaty. Britain will doubtless be distinctly fair, according to her ancient custom of fairness that Is, she will grab all she can when Root, Lodge and Turner are not looking. It is highly probable, however, that these gentlemen are not taking any long naps these days. Indianapolis Sentinel.

W, C T. U Convention. The- county convention of- the Women's Temperance Union," which began its session yesterday afternoon at the U. B. church, was in session again today, with Mrs. A. R. Shedd, or Argos, county president, in the chair. A number of delegates were present from Argos, Bourbon, Culver and Bremen. The state evangelist, Mrs. Julia A Trish, of Warsaw, was also present. '"Mother" Trish has been for twenty-seven years actively engaged in temperance work and was one of tbe crusaders of twenty years

ago.

The reports from the various unions showed an advance 'movement in the county, showing progress in the work. At the gold medal contest last night there were six competitors from Bremen, Culver and Argos. The successful speaker was Ernest Zechiel, of Culver, who was awarded the medal. The convention was engaged today in its program of exercises. The old offlcers were re-elected for the ensuing year. Is There' Smallpox in Plymouth? Argos papers have been making tbe statement for two weeks that there fs -smallpox in Plymouth and Thursday morning's Argos Reflector announces that Mrs. Cannam, an aged lady residing at the home of D.

We have inquired of Dr. Ma-tin in regard to the matter quite recently and were informed that he knew of no cases in the city. If there Is smallpox here the public should know it.
