Flight of Birds, a To the average observer of the flight of birds everything i deceptive. To compare the flight of a large bird wi-Ji a smaller one is especially so. Tfc cormorant of the sea coa seems to) be a slow flyer, yet he does a mile in one minute and ten seconds. The honey bee seems to travel like a bullet, yet it takes him two minutes tf fly one mile. The humming bird does not fly a9 fast as many slow-flipping birds of ungainly bulk, The quail appears to'get awaymore rapidly than the mallard, but he does not do it.

CLEMENT BLAIN INJURED.

Was Struck on Head During Drunken Brawl---No Arrests Made. In a drunken brawl between John Conner, William Jeffirs, Walter Reynolds, and Clement Blain, on the banks of Yellow river behind the Molter lot early Sunday morning, Clement Blain was struck on the head by a beer bottle, and received injuries from which he will not soon recover. Jeffirs, Reynolds and Blain have been living a sort of tramp life on the river banks for the past couple of weeks, so it seems. They have been cooking their meals over an improvised furnace etc. Saturday night they invited John Conner, an employe of J. A. Molter, to accompany them on a fishing trip. Conner consented and obtained a boat for the crew. Of course they were several "sheets in the wind" by morning and frequently quarreled. When they landed at about 6:00 a. m., it broke out anew, and it is alledged, Conner laid Blain and Reynolds low with a beer bolttle, with the results aforementioned. Prosecutor Molter has served notice on all of the saloon keepers, not to sell liquor to Conner, Blain, Reynolds and Jeffirs. An Abnormal Plant. Mr. Calvin Switzer brought into the .

BODY OF INFANT FOUND IN RIVER NEWLY BORN MALE CHILD FOUND FEW FEET BELOW LIGGETT BRIDGE SUNDAY AFTERNOON---BEEN SUNKEN WITH STONE. Anoither horrible crime of infanticide, the second discovered in this vicinity during the last few months, was revealed Sunday afternoon, when the body of a newly born male chiId was found in Yellow river, a few feet below the Liggett bridge. The body was noticed by Ambrose Liggett, aged 40 years, who resides with Robert Liggett on the latter's farm. The bridge near which the body was found, is about two miles southwest of this city. Marshall Jacoby was called to the scene and he waded into the river and carried out the body. The water at that place was only about 1 1-2 feet deep. The body had partially slipped from a cloth which had been bound around it, and tied to a good sized stone. The cloth and stone revealed the motive of the dastardly crime. The body was taken to undertaking rooms and buried Monday evening. The undertakers estimated that the body had not been in the water over three hours when found. Coroner Kizer has left an open verdict on the case for the present, and investigations are being made. The body was found about 3:00 p. m.

SAYS HANLY IS IN RIGHT

ATTORNEY GENERAL BINGHAM IN TEMPERANCE TALK SAYS SPECIAL SESSION WILL LIFT LOCAL OPTION OUT OF POLITICS. In an address on "Temperance," delivered Sunday night at the Hall Place M. E. church, Indianapolis, Attorney General James Bingham spoke encouragingly of the progress that is being made to develop public sentiment against the saloon. He also urged the advisability of aiding in the passing of the local option law at the special session of the Legislature which Governor Hanly has called for Sept. 18. "The Governor was right in his action," said Mr. Bingham. "The session was callec over my protest and over the protest of a number of others but the opposition was for the most part prompted by selfish motives. Un- .:! this call was sent out commanding the members of the Legislature to report at the special sesion on Sept. IS jhe local option question was one of politics. Now the Governor has. lifted it omt of politics and-placcd it in the hands of the state's legislators. If the majority of the senators and representatives vote in favor ol local option, it will be the duty of every one of you toi help elect men this fall wflio will not undo the work of the special session." ' In regard to the temperance question the attorney general said: "The fight against 4emperauce has been going on for years ,and it is a fight thai will last four years to come. Some people think legislators should blot out the saloons. For tlhe last fifty years we have had on our statute bos a law thai says it is a crime to sell liquor to boys under 21 years of age. Very few men acquire the habit of drinking after they become 21 years of age. If that law had been rigidly enforced and implicitly obey, td, the saloons today would have few patrons. "Legislation wall do. great things, but it wil not accomplish all that is needed. When local option has become a law and $1,000 license is as sured, there will still be intemperance. Waves of reform come and go, each carrying us a little nearer the goal. But when the smoke of the present ba'ule clears4 intemperance will bt found st y 1 intrenched, somewhat weakened, perhaps1, but with sufficient strength to rally for another fight."

GOVERNOR CALLS

EXTRA SESSION ASKS INDIANA LEGISLATURE TO MEET SEPTEMBER 18 TO - TAKE UP IMPORTANT BUSINESS LOCAL OPTION ONE TOPIC, Governor Hanly, Friday afternoon, issued a proclamation, calling for a special session of the Indiana General Assembly, to convene September 18, at 10 celock a. m; In a statement accompanying the proclamation the Governor declared that the condition of the specific appropriations made at the last session of the' Legislature alone justified the call for the extra session.

STUNG" BY. BELT.

Pay one -Dollar for Device Which Contains Nothing But Pepper. Farmers at Routs' and other points in Lake county report a swindle that is being perpetrated by two strangers in 'that vicinity. The strangers' have been selling electric (belts, and those w4io bought and wore the belts endured the ut most agony, due .to a terrible burning sensation, but which was borne witJh gregt heroism, the victims believing that the smarting -was caused by electricity.

THOSE LAKE , COUNTY DAIRIES ARE FOUND TO BE IN MOST UNSANITARY CONDITION INSPECTOR WELD IS MAKING "A TOUR OF COUNTIES OF STATE. Bert Tucker, a pure food and drug inspector, has just completed his examination of the dairies of Lake county. Mr. Tucker has written that he will include Marshall county on his tour of the northern part of the state. Mr. Tucker Teports his work by caunties. He says that dairy conditions in Lake county have been found to be very bad. I. C. Weld, a United States inspector, who accompanied Tucker, although he has been inspecting dairies over the country for several years, declared that he found more filth in some of the dairies in Lake county than he had ever seen before in establishments of similar s:ze. Mr. Weld has gone to Evansville, where he will make a number of inspections. It is likely that Mr. Tucker will .return to Lake county for further work. On one dairy farm near Hammond the cows were literally covered with filth, according to the inspector's report. After this place had been inspected Mr. Weld sard he had never before seen such a dirty Tierc At another dairy he water from the milk housfc and the filth! from the kitchen were allowed to run into a low place in the ard, and from this depression the cattle obtained their supply of drinking water. In another dairy there was a filthy old well near the place, where the milk pans were placed to dry. 'Mr. Weld advised the people against the common fallacy that milk bought from the neighbors Is purer than that which comes from the large dairies. Some of the worst conditions Were found to prevail around dairies where there were only two or three cows. A general meeting of the dairy men who supply Hammond with milk was itfie result of the inspection and it seemed, according ta Mr. Tucker, that there was an inclination to make improvements. The investigation. however, is to be continued both among the small dairies and . larvc ones and prosecutions are promised un!es the places are improved. On dairy near Hammond which attracts 1 the attention of Mr. Weld and Mr Tucker is owned and man aged y ? man who is the father ot eleven children. It teras that a great deal of time is required to take care of the children. At any rate, accn-d-ing to Mr. Tucker, little if any -tLne has been devoted to cleaning up the place. Pure, unadulterated filth, Mr. Tucker said, was the chief characteristic. Mr. Weld used his camera vigorously) and got several views of the dairy run by the man who has elevcp children. ' Will Return to This County. Rev. and 'Mrs. J. F. Appleman of Mexico, Ind., are spending a few days on -their farm west of Plymouth, and are making some necessary improvements preparatory to again taking up their residence in this county.

FOR SCHOOL

SANITATION STATE BOARD OF HEALTH WILL SEE THAT RULES ARE ENFORCED DURING THE WINTER PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS. Having made sanitary surveys ofl a great number of schoolhouses dur ing the summer, the State Board of Health will follow up the work by seeing to it that all sdhoolhouses are kept in good condition throughout the winter. The board believes that the care oft-er the' sanitary features of a scCioolhouse should be begun before school begins and with this idea in mind Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health, is now sending out to school officials oi the State rules which -have been "adopted by the State board. The Supreme Court has upheld the law by which the rules were promulgated. The penalty for violation of the rules is a fine of not more than $100. There are six of these rules relatiag to the care of school children a.' buddings. They arc -simple 411 language and very ' much to thl pint the idea of the state board beings that anything cumbersome in the way cf instructions to school officers should be avoided. The first rule declares that it shall be unlawful Tor school trustees or school boards to crowd children into schoolrooms in excess of one child for each 225 cubic feet of. space. The second rule makes it unlawful for any teather, school trus tee or health officer to permit attend ance in any school of any pupil affected with a : severe contgti, severe cold, kdh1, lice or other vermia, or any contagious skin disease or -who is filthy in body or clothing, or who has any of the following diseases: Diphtheria, smallpox, scarlet fever, whooping cough, chickenpox'and consumption. Another rule makes it unlawful for any parent or guardian having charge of children suffering from any such diseases to permit such cnildren to attend school, and also makes it unlawful for any school officer to employ as a teacfter any person suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. Still another rule makes it unlawful for the teacher to admit children to school who come from homes where certain diseases have prevailed unless the pupil shall present- a certificate from a physician stating that danger of infec tion has passed. The other rules relate to the conditions of school buildings One directs that all school buildings shall be cleaned and disinfected before school begins in the autumn and that ventilation shall be carefully attend! to. Where, ventilating ducts do not i:xist it is suggested that teachers flood the schoolrooms with fresfi air by opening doors and windows at recesses and at noon time. A sanitary supply of drinkfug water also is discussed, and the danger of havingnudholes near the well is emphasized. "It is important that bhe health ol the children be preserved," said Dr. Hurty. "The duty o. the State i to .see, to it that sanitary, conditions ex ist in all schoolrooms. Frosted Every Month.

FIVE PLYMOUTH MERCHANTS CAUGHT

IN SCHEME OF Worthless checks amounting to almost fifty dollars were passed upon merchants in this city Saturday night. They were drawn upon the name of C. L. Welch, and made payable to George Moore. Five business men were successfully fleeced out of amounts running from $6.75 to $9.50. The news of the fraud was kept quiet until Wednesday evening when it leaked out. Suspicion was fastened on one George Thomas, who worked for Charles Welch on the Clough farm one mile and a half west of this city, until a few months ago when Mr. Welch dispensed with his services. Thomas then disappeared and a couple of weeks later $50 in money was stolen from the pockets of Welch while the latter slept, and of this robbery Welch has since suspected Thomas. The fraudulent checks were passed here Saturday evening from 8:00 until 9:00 p. m. The stranger entered the different stores, made small purchases, and in payment produced a check payable to the order of George Moore, the sums from $6.75 to $9.50, and received the balance in cash. In the presence of the merchant the stranger endorsed the check. The checks are upon the Plymouth State bank. Upon later comparison it is seen that the handwriting of the endorsing name, is identical with that
