BIGGEST PLUM ORGANIZED LABOR TO BE RECOGNIZED IN THE AP POINTMENT. Governor Marshall to Name Railroad Commissioner at $4,000 Per Annum. Imlianaiwlis, Ind. Dec 21. Sometime before New Years' day organized labor will be handed the largest political prize it ever has received from either party in Indiana. Governor Marshall will present it in the form of a .$1000 a vear place on toe railroad com mission. It is hkclv that he may be readv with it 'as a Christmas reminder tlilat he has fulfilled his camoaiun niedere to appoint a practical railroad engineer. The governor expected to apm m . a point a railroad engineer to the first vacancy on the commission, but he found it very difficult to get one who could handle the intricate problems with which it has toxical- Inasmuch as the coimmissioh sits as a court most of the time, the governor found that something more than practical knowledge of machinery and tracks would be required of his appointee. , , , , , M. uc nas oeen ueiugcu wun ap plication for the place and lor' a vear no nas dccii iiiaKiug a care ful investigation of the qualifica tions of tllose who have present ed their names.

The latter has been an engineer on the Southern for many ears and is regarded a a thorough ly pradtcal railroad1 man. He not only has the endorsement of the members of the railroad organi zations, but of the democratic committees of seventeen south ern Indiana counties. Payne was an engineer on the Pennsylvania. He has the in dorsement of the Brotherhood ol Locomotive Fngineers; The Bro th erhood of Fnginemcn and fire men; the Brotherhood of railroad trainmen; the Order of Railroad Conductors, besides the backing oi nianv well-known democrats in this part of the stateIt was said todav that the gov ernor is inclined to javor 1 avne m V and that Payne, more than likely will be appointed. Xeither party has shown any disposition in re cent years to pay any serious at tent ion to t he claims of organize' labor lor recognition so the rail road commission appointment will be the first real prize thev have drawn.

FLY PEST COSTS

U. S. MILLIONS ESTIMATED THAT INSECTS CAUSE LOSS OF 4,000;000 LIVES. Expert on Subject Give Data Showing Loss in the United States. New York, Dec. 28 One hundred and seventy million years would be added to the lives of people of the United States or 4,000,000 lives of the present average length, and $20,000,000,000 would be saved if the house fly wee annihilated. In these starting figures Dr. Daniel Jackson, a member of the pollution committee, told the New Jersey Sanitary association his estimate of the damage by the common household fly. "It is almost incredible what damage is being done by the pest." Dr. Jackson said- "Figures help to convey it in a way. but no figures can tell the whole tale. However, when I tell you that if the pestiferous household fly could at one sweep be annihilated two years would be added to vottr life, my life, and that of every man. woman and child in the wonld. That' means something. And 'when -we go further and find that thiis means the saving of 4,000.000 lives of the presents average length, or a total of 1731,000,000 lives of the present a irrest deal more. Dr. Jackson is 'an authority second to none on the subject. For years he has investigated the fly in its bearing on disease, and he is convinced that in doins away with the pest we will also do away, in a very, large degree, with typhoid and other contagious fevers. In investigating the pollution of the waters of New York harbor, Dr. Jackson found flics were nivst numerous 'in the neighbor hood of sewer outlets, and that in the, same neighborhoods typhoid "ever and other intestinal diseasewere most prevalent. Thousand.of flies were caught and examin ?. and upon 'them millions o. disease germs were found. Flies Cause Epidemic. In the ixaiper delivered before the Jerseymen, Dr. Jackson told of one model tenement block rin Manhattan 'where, more than 100 cases typhoid fever developed in the recent epidemic. The health authorities were inclined to a'. cri'bc the fever to milk, but it was .shown that other neighborhoods getting the same milk from the same source had little fever. I n v est gat ion showed t hat t wo stables, in unsanitary cond'ition were immediately behind the model tenement and millions of flies swarmed before the two places. Carrying on their lejjs and wings the filth from the stable refuse. So it was shown that the flies had caused the epidemic. As to the possibility of exterminating the- fly family, it is shown by statistics the fly family is a monumental if not impossible one. A few months ago state entomologist Rruner of Nebraska sädd a single house fly could be the progenitors of 195 quadrillions of flies in ten generations, which means in one year's time one hundred and ninety-five quadrillions is about 10r.000,000 bifshels of flies.

RABBIT HUNTING IS EASY.

Deep Snow Makes it Difficult tor Mr. Cottontail to Show Heels to His Enemies. Rabbit hunters? are having great sport these days. With the gun turned on him, "burrough in vaded bv thia hunter s ferret and the d!;tep snow, his taking is. an easy matter. Poor bunny has lit tle how now to match his fleetness against those who come in quest of his life. W&th ten inches of snowfall he cannot get awav or elude his pursuers, as he can not make: any speed, and consequenty becomes an easy prey to his enemies. A hunter made the assertion the other evening that if this snow would lay on the ground z. month there would be little of this game left tb hunt until the rabbit had a chance to materially multiply his numbers" again. The ?onl Id tions and weather could not '.jo better for the slaughter of Mr. Cottontail, and each day now his tribe is being very materially decreased. Many hunters are abroad arid! they generally secure From eght to twenty rabbits as i day s sport, either by gun, f:r ferret or dog. They sell in. the market at from 15 to 20 cents.

Sus picion that a campaign of safe blbwincr in national banks is be ing planned on large scale has entered the mind of the controller of the currency. Not long ago the controller received a telegram from the 'National bank of Kenosha. Wis., inquiring if one P. G. or C. V. Wright was a regular or special national bank examiner. Controller Murray replied that no such man was or eyer had been a bank examiner. Correspondence then developed that a man represent-. ing himself to be a bank examiner had attended one or Cyo of the dSrcctors' meetings but no opportunity to examine the bank given him. The directors became suspicious of the man, who haxl avoided them at the close on account of an injur' to his ankle, ami on going to his hotel had found that he had decamped will tout paving his bills. Other Cases Reported. Other "recent representations of Ibis kind have 1een reported and the controller has turned the cases over to the secret service anil the department of jusitce, Atth a view tt havjng a tliorough investigation made, and the system of crooks broken up. The controller has also advisekl na tional hanks to use extra precati-' thn in admitting pretended bank examiners to their premises. Pipit aii1-irvt-i7wl vi-m J n fr Vvi c not only his commission, but a pocket card signed by the conroller of the currency, and banks are advised that one or both should be produced where the pretended examiner is not even known.

Since the old-fash 'oned theory of curing eczema through the blood has been given up by scientists, many different salves have been tried for skin diseases. But it has been Jound rhat these salves only clog the pores and can not penetrate to the inner skin below the epidermis where the eczema germs are ldded. This the quality of penetrating probably explains the tremendous sucness - of the only standard liquid eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as compounded in D. D. D. Prescription. After ten years of .cure aircr cure, the world's leading skin specialists have accepted this as the true eczema cure. We ourselves do not hesitate to recommend D. D. D. Prescription at $1.00 a bottle, but for the benefit of those who have never tried the prescription we arranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago for a special large trial liottle at 25 cents on a special offer now. This .first bottle ought to convince every sufferer, anil, at any r-tfe. it will surely take away ithe iich at once. Charles jC. Reynolds. NOTICE TO HEIRS AND CREDITORS OF EMMA T KUNZ, DECEASED.
