Several towns have been booming the project for several months-, and advising various .outes, and there are now enough conflicting interests and recommendations to place the canal anywhere between the Michigan line and the Wabash river, in order to have it reach Lake iMichigan.

Feverish Prices are Gone and Busi ness is Now on a Practical Basis. The farmer who is rightly situat ed and is willing to advertise lüberally will find the present conditions favorable to engage in the breeding of thoroughbred hogs. Hogs are fond of grazing and if the land i-s adapted to the cultivation of alfalfa it will greatly cheapen the cost ot pro duction of swine, as well as increase the bone and health of the animals Thoroughbred hogs are reasonably cheap and the best specimens can 4e purchased for much less money than, twelve months ago. Unquestionably prices have ruled too high and discouraged many farmers who would Lke to engage in the breeding of swine. Values can be no hindrance at the present time, as the owners of many choice herds are anxious to reduce stock and will sell their surplus on reasonable terms. Unfortunately nearly every thoroughbred of animals has a boom in every ten or fifteen years and prices become inflated. Then follows liquidation and a readjustment of values. Hogs are -very pralfic breeders and -when properly managed increase rapidly. Too many breeders reserve all their stock for breeding purposes, while the inferior animals are sold. The farmer who purchases such a sire relies on the pedigree of the boar to produce in hrs progeny the best type of the breed. Performance is disappointing anl the purchaser loses confidence in the superior attributes of thoroughbred hogs over conglomerate breeding. The breeder who sold the animal has injured the prestige of his herd and will suffer loss of recuperation. Hojs are bred for consumption, and an imperfect animal of full-blood breed of swine is more valuable for the shambles than to reserve for a producer. 'Many inexperienced men went into the breeding business when stock was selling at inflated prices and will close out their herds when values are at the bottom. Any farmer is qualified as breeder and will exploit blooded swine now is fully protected by current prices from future losses. Values are sure to rally, as prices now are but a few point above pork prices. The breeder who starts a herd now is sure to profit by the advance, as blooded hogs are staple animals and will sell higher. ELKHART IS AWARDED GAME. Stat Board Decides Against South Bend in Protested Football Contest. The board of control of the Indiana High School Aühietic association has awarded a protested game of ttball played by the Elkhart and South Bend high shools on November 14 to the Elkhart team and the team is now claiming the northern Indiana ihigi school championship. Goshen also claims the title along with several other teams. The contention ?n the South Bend-Elkhart game was that the South Benders quit before time had been called in the second half of the game. They asserted that it was too dark to see. The association has ruled that no coach can be employed by any team in the association. ; Watson Heads Signers in Rush Co.

CITY OFFICES STEPHENS WOULD AMEND CITIES AND TOWNS ACT DOUBLING OFFICES Also Has Bill Raising Penalty for Horse Stealing To Five To Ten Years. Representative Louis A. Stephens ot iMadison County is preparing to introduce a bill amending the Cities and Towns Act, so as to bring about several Jmportant chances. The first is a change in the classification of cities. Instead of a classification according to population, he would classify them according to their respective amounts of taxable property, as shown in reports to the State Bureau of Statistics. "My bill," said Representative Ste phens, "will provide also that in cities of the third and fourth classes the mayor shall perform the duties of the cky judge, and the city clerk shall ;erfurm the duties of the c:ty controller. There are two offices that arc unnecessary in cities of that size ir.l Pliey should be abolished. "My tbill will provide also for a reJiiction in the salaries of all, members A boards of public works. It will provide Chat tl e salaries of these officials shall be increased only as the ::x valuation of the city increases. A hill similar to that which Repreitative Stephens will introduce was Produced at the session in 1907 and asseJ the House. It was killed .ovvever in the Senate. Also Has Horse Thief BilL Representative Stephens is also preparing a bill, which is hacked by he Horte Thief Detective Associa xns of the state, and which increases ho i enalty for stealing horses from r:e t. fourteen years in prison to "r.m nve 'to ten years. The bill pro .'des itinishment for both first and cond offenses. For the first offense it provides five . ten years' imprisonment. For the . -ond offense the punishment is not .c.s than ten years, nor .more than ;irteen years. "At Che present time," said Repre.ltative Stephens, "the pcralty is so ibt that it really puts a premium on Staling horses. A man convicted of irse stealing usually gets out of :ion in one year's time and imme- ': itely goes to stealing horses again. "There should be greater protec-:.-i against horse stealing. There is .-. loud and insistent demand upon the art of the farmers throughout the täte for a greater penalty igainst :rse stealing. Tlie horse is usually :most exposed to thieves of the "artner's property, and is, therefore. !"e most easily stolen." Lapaz Items. Chic':en-pox has kept many childen from attending school. Win.

Will Not Come to Pass. John C. Boss, a manufacturer of brick makers' supplies and machinery at Elkhart, has -written Representative Barnhart in behalf of a law that he wants passed to compel all postmasters throughout the United States to get up a directory list of all the patrons of each postoffice and keep them corrected up to dote all the -time for the use of manufacturers of the country., A Washington correspondent says congress will hardly ctompfy 'with sudh a request. The present law does not permit a postmaster to give out lists or information of that character to any one, and there is not likely to be a change made in that statute

MARSHALL HAS REINS OF STATE FIRST DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR IN TWELVE YEARS SWORN IN YESTERDAY. Economy and Fewer Offices are Urged by Ner Executive in Message. Thomas R. Marshall, the first Democratic governor of Indiana in twelve years, was inaugurated yesterday, taking the oath of office about 12:30 in the corridor of the State Capitol. Te oath was administered by Judxe Roby of the Appellate court. Every available foot of space in the State llcuse that offered a view of the stand where the ceremonies were held was occupied. iMany were unable tf get near enough to hear or to see. After taking the oath, Governor Marshall read his inaugural adtlress and message to the Sixty-ninth General Assembly oi the State of Indiana. A part of the program was the last offi!ca! utterance of the retiring Govern.tf, J. Frank Hanly, -who extended good wishes to his successor in office, and said this much he claimed for himself: "my purpose has been pure; my effort sincere; my zeal untiring." Governor Marshall's recommendations for legislation to the General Assembly were heard attentively, and frequently interrupted by applause. The keynote of his message was economy artd retrenchment in the conduct of the state's business. He expressed a belief that the corps of assistants to the various departments had become so large as to be a burden upon the people, and suggested the employment of an expert to investigate the business methods, determine the exact duties of every employe, and make suggestions for a more economical administration. Following his inaugural address the Governor and 'Mrs. Marshall, the Lieutenant Governor, Frank J. Hall, and his sister, Mrs. Ida Miles, of Mays, Ind., held a reception in the Governor's of&e. Pennsy to Increase Indebtedness. The board of tdirrecrors of the Pennsylvania railroad have taken the necessary action far an increase of $S0,000,000 in its indebtedness in order to provide for its $60,000,000 of short notes wbich mature next year and for other corporate needs. The authority to make the increase will be asked of the stockholders at the annual meeting in March. The company has power under action already taken by the stockholders to increase its capital stock from time to time in the sum of $100,000,000 so that with authority g?ven as mtow possessed it will be equipped for some time to come, not only to meet its outstanding indebtedness, but also Its capital requirements through the issues of stock or 'bonds, or both4 as may be deemed best by the board of directors. ARE UNABLE TO AGREE. Special Review of the Knights of the Order of the Maccabees Will Be Held. A hopeless disagreement is the word from the office of the grand record keeper of the Knights of the Maccabees where Record Keeper J. W Replogle and Great Lieutenant Commander W. A. Miwbray held an all day conference at Goshen, Ind., in f'r.e hope oi reaching a choice on a gTeat commander. Wednesday's disagreement necessitates the holding of a review, probably about the first of March. Petitions will be circulated immediately. In local fraternal circles the chances of E. E. Gildersleeve of LaPorte, are reckoned very rosy. Munson Will Sue the Pennsy. Chester Munson, who had a horse killed, a buggy demolished and cams near meeting death by being hit by the Manhattan Limited train near Warsaw, Wednesday, will bring suit against the Pennsylvania company for damages and has employed Bantrim Shayne, of Warsaw, as his attorney.

LIVING AFTER

TWO WEEKS SEVERAL PERSONS HUNGRY AND WEAK TAKEN FROM EARTHQUAKE RUINS. The Ships of Atlantic Fleet Touch at Messina "The Mouth of Hell" Opens. Search for the buried victims of Italy's last great earthquake still continues and is frequently rewarded with the rescue of the living. Sunday noon a man named Bcnsaja, who had spent fourteen days without food, locked in the ruins of his home, was taken out unconscious and resuscitated. He had been caught in a kind oi straitjacket formed by the debris and, unable to move, was compelled to watch the lingering death of his wife and four children. Saturday a mau and his -wife were removed not only alive but ronscious. Their impristnment iiad lasted thirteen days. On Saturday night a terrific tempest, accompanied by earthquake shocks, arose, causing a number of fresh collapses in the ruined city and spreading new terror. Tents or huts housing the destitute survivors were destroyed by the wind and blinding rain. Over sixty feet of the land quays in the harbor were swept away carrying off a large quantity of provisions stored there. Near Giarre an immense fissure opened. It was C50 feet long, three feet -wide and sixtyfive feet deep, and has been styled ,by the people, "The 'Mouth of Hell." American Ship Besieged. The American consulate where the stores from the American relief ship Bayern are being distributed, was beseiged all day Sunday by a crowd of hungry refugees. The American cemmittee, which is working strenuously, is receiving expressions oi gratitude from all quarters. The most urgent need for the Bayern's services was along the coast towns, especially Catania and Syracuse. The Bayern has proceeded to those points. The supply ship Yankton will remain at Messina to convey to Naples the bodies of the American consul and his wife when they arc recovered. Ambassador Griscrm paid a visit Saturday to the house of the Catholic archbishep who, after confessing that his relief committee lacked both food and money, intrusted the ambassador with a message to Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, who is now in Rome asking him to make another appeal for American aid. Food, clothing and ether supplies were immediately sent to the archbishop's committee fron the Rayern. The disinfecting of the city is progressing rapidly. The illumination of the city rs by electric light. Fleet Arrives and Departs. The American fleet, which arrived at 'Messina Saturday morning and left Saturday night, made a great impression. Expressions of gratitude and admiration are still heard on all sides. Admiral Sperry's last act before leaving was to send a launch virh a burial party to convey the body of .Mrs. A. J. Ogston, wife of the British consul, across the strait to the English cemetery. The survivors of the city fathers will meet January 15 to elect new officials to replace those dead. Professor Salinas has succeeded in saving from the ruins of the civic museum -several valuable paintings, including the famous "Triptych," by Antoneil. de Messina, of 1463. General Mazza, in his report to the Premier Sunday, said that the recovery of valuables stolen from the ruins was progressing satisfactorily. Seven thieves wtre arrested Saturday. Almost $3,000,000 in money and valuables, ibesides the contents of the safes of the various banks, have already been recovered from the ruins of the earthquake. Major Landis, fhe American military attache at Rome, is pushing with every energy the work of excavation of the ruins of the American consulate to find the bodies of Consul Cheney and his wife, but so far without result. Stuart K. Lipton, the present consul, continues to distribContests are Given Up. The Democrats of the house have abort decided to give up the SimonWickey contest in Lake county, and the Madden-Williams contest in Warrick county. They say neither man has a good case and could only be removed for political reasons, and these they do not wish to start. The bad condition in Lake county, already revealed, wHl bring about beneficial legislation regarding voters and the party seems satisfied to rest on this result. The Republicans threatened to unseait several Democratic senators if the Democrats unseated Wickey and Williams, but Khc Democrats say this did not scare them. Monument to Colfax. The (people of Indiana will erect a monument in South Bend to t Lern em ory of the nation's distinguished citizen, the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, congressman and 19th vice-president of the United States and a resident ox South Bend from boyhood, if the Indiana legislature which has ust convened grants a request made by the South Bend Chamber of Commerce at a meeting of its directors. A resolution was passed unanimously that the legislature be requested to appropriate $10,000, for the erection in South Bend of a statute to Mr. Colfax. Wingate Sues for $25,000. John C. Wingate of Indianapolis, who resigned as state tax commissioner recently, has sued the Barnett Hotel company of Logansport for $25.000 damages. Wingate, while a guest, fell down an elevator shaft in June, 1907. The lnotel company is now in a receiver's hands.

ORGANIZE TWO PARTIES..

'Wets" and "Drys" of Noble County Declare They i-re Ready for the Fray. The "Wets" and "Drys" in Noble county have both organized for general warfare for their respective rights. The object will be to organize cn the lines similar to those used in the organization of political parties including officers and committeemen with a view of conducting a campaign from now until election time, Jan. 29. On the part of the "Drys" county officers have been elected and a vigorous campaign will be waged, while the "Wets" are undecided as to whether it would be advisable to have public meetings or speaking on the question of a wet county. Bets are being freely made that the drys will carry 'the county by 500 to 1,000 New Stamps Will be, Used. Reports circulated to the effect that the recent issue of stamps of new design would all be recalled by tht government because of the fact that they, did not conform to the regulations of the postal union in that theit value is not indicated by Arabic figures, bu in English, is cntrue. Traffic is Heavy. Freight traffic is unusually heavy on tflie local division of the Pennsylvania railroad. All but a few of the freight locomotives assigned to Fort Wayne arc now in daily use. CRIME IN STATE NOT INCREASING CROWDED PRISONS ARE SAID TO BE, DUE TO LONGER SENTENCES. Superintendent of Jeffersonvillo Reformatory Disusses Recommendation for Additional Prison. Declaring the crowded prisons of Indiana are the result of longer terms and stricter enforcement of parole regulations rather than an increase of crime in the state, W. H. Whittaker, superintendent of the Jeffersonville Reformatory, during a recent visit to Indianapolis, d'scussed favorably the recommendation for an additional iriscn made by Governor Hanly in his message. "I haver 't anything much to say regarding other institutions of Indiana in which criminals are held in addition to what I already have said in my annual report," declared he warden, "except that crime is not increasing in Indiana. The apparent increase in the institutions of the statt is caued from confirmed criminals being imprisoned longer under the indeterminate sentence law the average time being three years and a half, while under the old law of fixed sentences the average time was a year and nine months. Populaticn Causes Increase. "Another reason for the apparent increase in crime caused by the crowded condition is the fact that these institutions were built sixty years ago, when the population of Indiana was one-third of what it is today. Crime increases as do:s the population of the various states increase. No more commitments by the courts are being sent to the institutions today in proportion to the population and in proportion to the number of offenses for which men can now be convicted than were being sent to the institutions twenty-five years ago. "Another and greater reason than either of the above for another, institution of Indiana is to care for confirmed criminals is to have a more perfect classiGcatton of the criminal population. No management of institutions of this character for the proper protection of society and for the best interests of those sent to such institutions should have more than 1,000 inmates to look after." Force Voters to Vote. Linton A. Cox, holdover Republican senator from Marion county, expects to introduce a noble bill in the senate a bill to punish legal voters who 'wilfully fail to vote. DANGER IN DELAY. Kidney Diseases Arc Too Dangerous for Plymouth People to Neglect. The great danger of kidney troubles is that they get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them.
