Eoard Said to Have Established Precedent in Taxation of Underground CoaL The state board of tax commissioners in session at Indianapolis, has finished its hearings for the present year. During the last month appeals were heard fron , the, valuations made at the spring sessions. The board is not ready to announce the results but it is understood that it has established a precedent in the taxation of underground coal. The Vandalia Coal Company, the Parke County Coal company and the Vivian CoJeries company appealed from an increase in valuation on the ground that tl eir propety was assessed in 1907 'by the state board as real estate and that real estate valuations can be changed only once in four years. The property of the Parke county company; was increased from $20 to $-j'0 an acre; that of the Vandalia and Vivian from $10 to $50 an acre. The State board has decided that it was without authority to increase the valuation this year owing to the fact that the valuation of the same land was established iii 1907 for the ensuing four yean. v . The board heard appeals from several ba'nlcs which objected to being taxed on capital, surplus and profits that are invested in non-taxable securities. The board holds that the bank's assets are taxable regardless of the manner of their investment. Primary; Law Tested. The voters of the state of Illinois gave their new primary election law a thorough test on Saturday and according to expressions1 of opinion the law had the worst of it. Much dissatisfaction is heard from the politicians and the reasons they give for it are sufficient to make the law unpopular with the masses. The objections urged aga-inst the law are numerous. The principal ones are that the expenses' makes it impossible for a poor man to run for office, the candidate whose name appears first on the ballot ha? an advantage, it prevents independent voting, the expense of committee 'meetings, judges ami clerks may fe corrupt, Democrats vote the Republican ticket and vice versa, a irreat number of candidates prevents voters from expressing their preference suitably, it forbids- candidiate having challengers at the polling places. , Already many amendments to t'ie law have beer suggested -and it may be possible that eventually a good working law,, equitable to all parties and convenient to the voter may be evolved from what noiw seems to be a lame measure. The system in its present form is cumbersome an expensive to the individual as well as to the state, and what is worse it does not give a satisfactory result. A primary law that cannot insure to the members of a party the choice of their candidates does not fulfill its puipo.se and- opens the way for endless trouble and vexation. CHINA TO BUILD NEW NAVY. American Engineer Will be Engaged to Select Station Sites. Intimation was made by Chinese officials that an American engineer would probably be engaged to select sites and superintend the construction of the three naval stations that China intends to establish at the northern extremity, at the center and near the southern end of the Chinese coast line. As soon as these naval bases are established, China will place the contract for the fighting vessels which she intends shall be the nucleus of a powerful navy. The intention is to attach to each station a squadron consisting of one battleship, 15 large armored cruisers, '.hree- smaller cruisers' and a formidable torpedo boat flotilla.

BUILDING OF

THE L. E. & W FIFTY-FIVE YEARS AGO SAW IT TO TIPTON MOVED THE MEN WITH PROMISE OF GOOD TIME MANY AMUSING INCIDENTS. Fifty-five years ago at 4 o'clock Monday evening the first steam engine came into Tipton, and that was an event that was watched with much interest by the few residents of the village at that time, so says the Tribune. There are few people today who were in Tipton to watch the laying of the last rail on the old Indianapolis & Peru road, which afterward came to be part of the Lake Erie system. W. B. Young, is one of those residents who was on the spot at that time and who is here now to recall the event. The present branch line of the Lake Erie was first known as the Indianapolis & Peru road and on the third day of August, 1853 the track was laid to a point just north of the Jefferson street crossing and the engine pulled into Tipton. Mr. Young says it was a very warm day. About noon of that day the late Judge Green walked out to a point near where the road crosses Cicero creek and asked the man in charge of the construction if he thought it would be possible to get the engine into town that evening. The superintendent said he did not know, as there was a great deal of work to do, and the day was disagreeably warm. Mr. Green informed the men that a purse of $12 had been made up for them and that they would be given the money if they got the engine into town that evening. Speaking of the incident, Mr. Young said that the men worked like troopers for the remainder of the afternoon their being no let-up at all, and about 4 o'clock in the evening the last spike was driven in the rail that crossed Jefferson street. Then the engine pulled in, the whistle blew the joyous signal and all the residents of the town were on hand to watch the advent of the first steam car. The men were handed the purse and they spent it that night for liquid refreshments. Mr. Young added: "And they had a good time." The next day Mr. Young was a passenger on rhe first car that left Tipton. He was on his way to Vernon, where he was going to get married to his present wife. He came near being late for the ceremony, owing to the fact that the engine had trouble to stay on the track, and several times the passengers, who rode to Indianapolis, were called upon to get out of the car and give the trainmen a lift in getting the engine on the track. Canned Eloquence. 1 If the political managers shall follow farther in the wake of the amusement purveyors and combine "canned" speeches 'with "canned" pictures of the cand.Jates of the moving variety, just see what expense energy and discomfort could be saved! Nat enly the candidates for presidential r'onors but all the principal orators of tlhe great parties might thus talk into phonographs and pose before moving picture machines with farreaching results. In the first place there would then be no need of inflicting upon the people a lot of small-fry speakers who cause the committee endless trouble and expense, and generally do fully as much harm as good to the cause they plebd. The candidates and other orators whom the people really care to hear could do their talking and posing in a day or two and then take to the woods or the sea-shore and be comfortable for the rest of the campaign. There need be no special trains whirring through the country with their jostling perspiring crowds their pompous reception committees and .heir endless expense. IndianapoJi i .tar. RECOGNITION OF CULVER, Honor Graduate to be Commissioned in Regular Army. The War Deaprtment has again complimented Culver Military Acadeemy and !im:luded it among the eight regarded as distinguished' institutions by the department. Under order from the tht department tie school is entitled to name an honor graduate for commission as second lieutenant in the regular army, and the Culver institute has named cadet E. M. Bal--olm, of Nashua, N. H., for the coveted position. The recent inspection of Culver was made by Capt. M. J. Lenihan, of the general staff, and the institution was commended highly in the report to the War Department. The Oldest Mail Carrier. Lagrange has claim to fame among the townsi of the earth. Ephraim Harper, in his 82nd year, Is actively engaged in draying and carries the mail, daily, rain or shine, from the postoffice toi the trains and from th trains to the office. Moreover he has performed the official duty under the watchful eye of your Uncle Samuel, for 30 yjears or more. But the principal part is that at 82, 'Mr. Harrison is the oldest mail carrier In the United States in active sevice, and prob ably in the world. Fined for Keeping Uniforms. Oran Perry, adjutant general say that the law which prescribes a penalty for keeping or secreting uniforms and Oither property of the Indiana National Guard is working weh all over rhe state. The penalty is a fine of not more than $200. At Greenfield the öther day a former member of the company was fined $13.23 for having in his possession uniforms beIocjing to the company.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

United States Government Active in Promoting Werk. The United States government is doing more to extend good roads work in Indiana than all other associations combined. Estimates of $S, 000,000 for road building in Indiana this year Will probably be insufficient, for the amount to be expended will probably reach a large sum. Before the advent of rural routes, the farmer was more or less indifferent about the condition of the roads. In the last few years, however, he has been buying automobiles and has grown accustomed to having the mail left almost at his door. Recently, however, .the (government through its postal authorities, has been demanding vigorously that roads shall be improved still more. In the vicinity of Charleston the erit're rural mail service threatens to be discontinued because of bad roads ami farmers are now projecting the building of forty-one new roads. Michigan's highway commissioner will receive $12,000, collected by. the secretary of state for automobile licenses over and above the cost of running the license department to be used in the still further betterment of the highways in the state. Great things are expected from the use of this fund, as it is to be used not for the actual build ng of roads, but for the expenses of the men who are to be sent to the counties in the state in which the county good roads system has not been adopted as yef on an educational tour to show the farmers the meaning of good roads to them. TONS OF GOLD MADE INTO COIN REPORT SHOWS THAT 212 TONS OF PRECIOUS METAL CONVERTED INTO MONEY AT ONE CITY DURING FISCAL YEAR. Two hundred and twelve tons ol gold bullion coined into double eagles not ta speak of the thousands of silver and copper pieces also turned out, is the remarkable product of the United States mint in Philadelphia,' according to the report just made by Superintendent Landis of the work d'one during the fiscal year at Uncle Jam's money factory at Seventeenth anJ Spring Garden streets. The size t this task can be better appreciated ir.nn the statement that if these 5.774,413 $20 pieces were piled one upon anotther they would make a stack nine miles high. They represent a money value of $114,8$3,:H)0. :n J 907 only $7,000,000 worth of double eagles were struck off. About G,000,000 worth of gold coins of other denominations were tamed out at the mint during the past year. Only in the calendar year of J 904 was the last fiscal year's output surpassed. In that year double eagles .vere coined to the value of about ?227,000,000. The mint is closed lj.vn at this time because dies and machines need repairing, and the summer time, immediately at the close of the fiscal year ,is chosen as the best time in which to do the work. The entire gold cainage mentioned Li the report ,'ggregates $120,377,377.o in value, and consists of eagles, half eagles and quarter eagles. The coinage of these latter coins was rather below the average, owing to the facf that the "cart-wheels" absorbed all the mint's energies in producing. The output of the quarter eagles varies greatly, in some years falling to almost no coinage at all. According u the mint authorities the entire use :ade of these coins ia America is almost entirely at the time of Christmas holidays, when they are employed in very great numbers for gifts from employers to employes and from nasters to servants. In addition to the gold coined at the mint in the past fiscal year, 26,i 707,6.15 silver pieces were struck off, :heir aggregate value being but one-.venty-fifth part of that of the gold. The total coinage for the fiscal year, old and silver combined, was 137,133,777 pieces, worth $126,755,848. Boy Preacher Has. Large Audience; Master Harry Aley, the boty preacher of Marion, Ohio, had an audience of about 400 at the (Methodist church Sunday evening. The large audience room and tüie gallery were packed with people. Harry Aley is not quite sitxeen years old, attends school, but during the past four years has spent his summer vacations traveling and preaching. His sermon Sunday evening was delivered without hesitation in a clear ringing voice which showed good elocutionary training and 'he held ithe attention of his audience from the first sentence until the close of his great gospel sermon, which was among the best ever delivered in this city.

IS PICKING UP A LITTLE MORE CARS IN OPERATION, AND PREDICTION MADE THAT THERE WILL BE FEW IDLE ONES BY THE COMING WINTER. There were 9,800 more freight cars in service July 23, than there were June 28, and 110,000 more than April 29. At that date 186,000 coal cars were idle. By July 28 the number held shrank to 124,000. That is an unerring indication of greater activity on the part of manufacturers. That act.vity means additional business for the railroads later on. The progressive diminution in the number of idle cars lends support to the assertion of Interstate Commerce Commissioner Knapp that there will be a shortage this fall. He says that an inquiry into business conditions has convinced him that that will be the situaton after the crops shall have been harvested, assuming, that good harvests shall not be blighted. Everyidlt car that cs put in service strengthens the contention of the shippers that railroad rates should not be increased. If all the cars were needed for carrying freight their contention would be irresistible. The roads hardly would have audacity to assert that they should be permitted to put up next year's rates in order to make up for this year's decrease in receipts. If that were allowed the roads would indeed be in a favored class. Merchants, manufacturers1 and wage-earners do not look to the community to' indemnify them for losses they sustain during a period of business depression. If by the close of the year there shall be a demand for all the freight cars the roads own the rates now in force will furr'sh them adequate revenues. Unless they squander their means by paying excessive dividends it will not be difficult for them to get the money required for improvements which they say ought to be made. j Probably the railroad managers are regulating their own' conduct by the demand for freight cars. Early in the year, iwhen so many were idle, they talked of a general advance in rates on the 1st of July. As that date drew near and business improved they talked of the 1st of October. The number, of idle cars continuing to decrease, they talk now of the 1st of December. If their cars shall be about all in use as that tfay draws nigh justice and common serse will dictate to them the advisability ol saying nothing more about- higher rates. , CONDEMNS CITY LIFE. O'Shca Declares Boys Grow Old too ' Soon in Large Centers. Dr. M. V. O'Shea of the dhair of education in the University of Wisconsin, who is giving a series of educational lectures before the students of Winona Normal at Winona Lake, declares city life unduly hastens the development of the young. In the city, he says, the youths are under constant Stimulation and their nerves are never at rest. They take on the adult traits too quickly. Children in school, said Dr. O'Shea, should be kept free from -social diversions. The Rev. Mr. Rawei, a native of Ne-v Zealand, lectured on the development of his people Thursday afternoon, and at the same hour lectures were being given at the Natioinal Reform Conference. This Reform and Christian Citizenship Institute owns its own building at Winona and all the meeting of the conference will be held at tfie reform auditorium on the island. The first sessions were h?ld Thursday. The lectures were given by Dr. Wishart, "Place and Value of Fundamental Principles of Reform,' the Rev. William Parson spoe on "Oliver Cromwell; the Divine Right of Government," and Dr. T. P. Stevenson, "How Can the Nation Get Right With God?" Saturday Mrs. Florence E. Mayorick will tell the story of her prison life, and many who are coming to Winona for the D. A. R. day will remain to hear Mrs. Maybrfck. RURAL MAIL ROUTES. Total Number of Routes 39,369 Served! by 39,238 Carriers. On Aug. 1, 100S, 39,369 rural routes were in operation ami bcin'g served by 39,238 carriers. The discrepancy in the number of routes and the number of carriers is explained by the fact that C52 of the routes are served but three times a week and in many instances one carrier serves two of such routt s rendering service on one route one day and the other the next. Out of a total of 57v627 petitions handled up to August 1, 16,012 were adversely reported on. There are now 1,637 petitions pending. BABY BORN WITHOUT BRAINS Lived Forty Hours at Bellevue Hospital, New York. Physicians at Bellevue Hospital, New York, are greatly interested in a chSld who lived at the institution for a period of forty hours without a particle of brain matter. When the tnfant was born it was seen that the head was almost flat. This was looked upon, however, as a mere malformation whiich the doctors iibped to correct. It partook of nourishment greedily and also breathed normally. Its death was sudden and without any indication that it was about to take place. The infant was the" son oi Leonardo Giacomo. A post-mortem developed the fact Concerning the. infant's cranium.

T . - "n rfuu iircmen on tne iaKe üne were called to rcpotrt at Tipton Wed nesday afternoon for a general con ference with officials of the roid. It is believed amor the employes of the road that trains passenger and freight will hereafter run from Tipton to Michigan City and that Peu is to be abandoned as- a terminal. Those on the inside say they have been expecting this move on the part of the Lake Erie for some time and it is their belief no train crews will remain in Peru except the switch engine men.

The United States Department of Agriculture will begin in a few days an investigation of the milk supply used in Indianapolis 'and in Indiana cities. The investigation, will be made by experts of the dairy division of the Bureau of Animal Industry. Ivan C. Weld, assistant dairyman of the dairy division, is now inspecting the dairy farms which supply Indianapolis with milk. The Department of Agriculture has selected one hundred cities of the country h. which investigations of the milk supply will be made. t Plymouth is one of the cities selected. Mr. Weld will spend a month in Indiana and will devote the greater part of the time to inpsecting the dairy farms of Marion county. Richmond and Muncie are among the other Indiana cities where work willybe done by the Government.' In making an investigation of the milk supply of cities the Government is trying the score-card system. "The whole scheme is educational," said Mr. Weld, "and where it has been used it has brought good results and a better milk supply. "In scoring the equipment of a farmer and his methods of producing milk the Government places the farmer in the attitude of the student who wonders what his average will be when his examination papers are returned. The rating of a dairy is given by a sytem of mathematical points. When the inspection is completed the farmer is given a card showing 'how many points he has scored. Another card is given to the Board of Health of the city which consumes the farmer's milk and another card is sent .ro the department at Washington. "In the city of Richmond, Va.t we cored the dairies once a month for twelve months and it was interesting to note the increase of the averages. Each dairyman tried to get the highest score. Naturally the mon whose score is the highest is going to be the most popular with the consumers of milk." CRABILL ORDERS P. O. CLERKS TO ARRANGE DATES Declares Marriages Are Coming too Fast and That Timd Must Intervene Between Each Event. In view f the many marriages, ncluding his own, that have taken place among posftoffice employes, Postmaster Crabill now on his honeymoon has issued this order In his own inimitable style. 1000 Island Park, N. Y. Aug. 5, 190S. Order No. 7-11. To Head Clerks: In view of the increasing tendency on the part of the local force to yield to che importunities of Cupid yau will caution the employes connected with the different departments to advise with their respective officers regarding approaching connubial events so that not more than three weddings shall be celebrated within any veek. A number larger than that makes' the temptation to smoke free cigars too strong for the boys at the office. Cadmus Crabill, P. M. Newspapers Not Overdone. A French statistician calculates that there is one newspaper published for every 82,000 inhabitants of the known world. In Europe, Genr.anj headj the list with 5,500 ne ?pers, of which 800 are published daily. England comes next, 3,000 newspapers.of which 809 are "dailies," and then comes France, with 2,819 news pipers, of which only one-fourth are daily or published twice or thrice a week. Italy comes fourth, with 1,400 papers, and is followed by Ans. tria-Hungary, Spain, Russia, Greece and Switzerland, the hst having 450 newspapers. Altogether Europe has about 20,000 newspapers.
