I REVIEW OF INDIANA 1

C. M. Calvin, Hugh T. Adams and Churles Hutchinson, three of the four rural route carriers out of Nashville, are confined to their homes with the grip. A record price was reached in Newcastle in the sale made by Benjamin Bailey, a farmer, south of that city, of a toara of Clydesdale mares, four and six years old, for $530. Mrs. Mary Kumler Laadis, of Logansport, whose condition has been critical, is so much improved that her physician and the members of her family have hopes of her recovery. Now that the snow has gone off the fields and farmers have a chance to examine the wheat crop, they are not feeling bad about the outlook. They say wheat is looking much better than they expected. Estimates are that there is 10 per cent, more wheat sown than last year. A trainload of 267 head of cattle was shipped from Medora. a small town in Jackson County, to Boston a few days ago and will be exported from there to London. The cattle were sold for $20,274.07, or over $75 a head. This is one of the largest shipments that have been sent from that county to a foreign country for several years. An old-fashioned quilting, wood chopping and wool picking contest was given at the home of Wesley Campbell, near Mi. Liberty. After the affair the participants were- entertained at supper. A priz3 of a new hat, for the person who could eat the most in the shortest space of time, was awarded to Campbell. Nearly a hundred people were present. "When A. J. Davis, of Princeton, opened a package of breakfast food at hi3 home he found a little more than he had bargained for. In the box was a small photograph of a comely young woman, together with a letter saying the photo was that of Miss Amy RldIngton, of Vinton, la., and that she would be glad to hear from the finder. The letter bore the date of October IS, 1909. Robert Underwood Johnson, of Richmond, class of 1871, Earlham College, recently elected editor of the Century magazine, has received from the French government the cross of the legion of Honor for his services in furthering the international copyright and from the Italian government the Order of the Crown of Italy for his interest in the building of monuments on the graves of noted people in Italy. If present plans mature, according to the announcement just made, Crawfordsville will have another interurban line. It will be a trunk line from Hamnicnd. It Is understood that the Com pany pushing the project has headquarters in Chicago, and that Eugene Purtelle, of the firm of Eugene Purtelle & Co., brokers, Is the president. The j chief engineer of the company was in ; Crawfordsville recently looking over I the local field. j While Harry Watts, the 10-year-old son of George Watts, of Knightstown, was playing with children of Us age he was accidentally struck in the eye with the point of an- umbrella rib. The sight of the eye was temporarily de-! etroyed, but the lad now sees. Instead Dt one object, however, everything appears double to him. It is hoped that nature may socn correct the trouble. A short time ago Wallace Hackleman, a farmer living near Knightstown, had a similar derangement of the eye as the result of being kicked by a horse, and his vision i3 still doubled. Carl, the 9-year-old son of. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Edwards, south r.f Connersville, lost his left hand becau he did not know that dynamite cai, . were loaded. He took two cap3 from a box, which, together with several pounds of stick dynamite, were In an outhouse, and carried them into the sitting room where his mother and grandmother were sitting. Unobserved by them he picked the explosive compound out of one cap with a pin and wa3 starting to do the same with the second when it exploded. His left hand wa3 blown Into fragments and a small piece of the brass shell struck his abdomen, making a serious wound. Vincennes has another smallpox scare Jad an order has been issued that all pupils of the North Vincennes school and the Eberwine Avenue school be vaccinated. Children who came to school without having carried out the order were sent to their tomes with instructions that they can not return until they comply with the order. Should they fall to return to school within the limit of the truancy, law probation officer Rumer will take the matter in hand, as he did recently In Bicknell. The case3 are few in number, but the Board of Health declares that vaccination of all pupils of these two schools 13 necessary because smallpox cases were developed in each building. A snowball thrown by a boy struck MiS3 Velma Brady, a Yorktown High School student, with such force as to break a rib and she was placed under a physician's care. Hazleton's fire department, which costs the town $G00 a year, paid for itself three times at it3 first fire, by saving ?l,S0O worth of property. Fire broke out in the plant of the White River News, when the flame checking apparatus worked effectively and kept the locs within $400. Mrs. Eu'Jora L. Drain, aged 72, widow of Oscar S. Drain, died at Evansville a few days a 30. She was a cousin of Franklin Pierce, who was President of the United States from 1833 to 1S"7, r.'. d was a native of Michigan. Six children survive her. Albert Lercry Anderson, appointed postmaster at Jefferson vlllo to succeed John Randolph Lancaster, whoso term of four year:; expired February 12, will probably be the youngest jKJStniaster Jtffer?onviile ever had, as he will assume office before completing his thirtieth year. George H. Devol, the only merchant In Xew Albany who was engaged in business before the Civil War, was baCiy injured last week when he accider tally foil down a stairway at his hardware store. Suffering from insanity as a result of brat'n feved "IJen," one of the oldest torses on the Evansville fire department, had to be shot. The old horse ha3 made over two thousand runs in the fifteen years he was on the department. Several of the firemen wept when the faithful old animal was killed.

The new city directory of Evansville just published shows Evansville has a population of S5,320, an increase of more than 5,000 in a year. Knox County Democrats in convention at Vincennes adopted resolutions in which they recommend Governor Marshall to the next National Democratic Convention as their choice for the nomination for President.. A county ticket was named. A stubborn and cestructive fire broke out at Milford in the cold storage plant. The building was badly damaged and four carloads of onions were destroyed. The loss is covered by insurance. A cigar stub is thought to have started the fire. Marion Avers, of Lucas County, Iowa, came to Oakland to visit his brother Will Ayers. He had not seen him for forty-three years. While the brothers were children Will Ayres was adopted by an uncle and moved to Marion County, thi3 State, while his brother Marion Ayers went to Iowa. The store of S. W. Redmond, at Wilson, burned recently. Redmond car ried a small insurance on a $1,300 stock. Thomas Coyle, owner of the building, carried insurance. The loss is $3,000. Twenty-five men prevented the flames from spreading by using wet blankets. The origin is unknown. James M. Cockrum, whose appointment as postmaster at Oakland City vas confirmed recently, will take his effice within a few days. He was at the time of his appointment engaged in farming, but was formerly marshal of that city. George M. Burbank served three terms and has made a satisfactory record. Mrs. George Williams, five miles south of Logansport, has a brood of twelve chicks, and two more hens are sitting. Because of the severity of the weather, sitting hens are scarce, and Mrs. Williams, with her little brood of twelve fluffy ruffles and two sitting hens, is regarded as a wonder by local poultry raisers. Harry Clark has been appointed claim agent for the Pennsylvania lines, ! with headquarters in Fort Wayne, suc ceeding -II. T. Swegman, advanced to a similar position at Chicago a few days ago. Jiark is captain of Battery B, Indiana National Guard, in that city and is weil known in the younger mil itary circles of the State. Elijah B. Martindale, of Indianapolis, aged SI, who was cue of the prominent residents of Indianapolis, feli at his home on North Meridian street, and never recovered from his injuries. He leaves eight children. Judge Martindale was born in Wayne County, Indiana, in 1S2S, and was closely Identified with the development of IndianaA check for $77 sent by John U Sessler, treasurer of the Typographical Union at Fort Wayne, to John W. Hayes, national treasurer at Indianapolis, stolen with the two mail pouches at the Wabash depot, has returned tc the First National Bank, having beeL cashed by the Lima Tailoring Company of Lima, Ohio. The signature of Hayes was a forgery. Edgar Willis, of Carlisle, while hauling rock in a road one mile north of that place, met with a peculiar accident. One of the horses he was driving stepped on a dynamite cap, which exploded and threw stones and dirt In all directions and slightly Injured thcother horse. Willis escaped injury. How the dynamite cap chanced to Le in the roadway is a mystery. The body of Mrs. Anthony Chamne3s that weighed 433 pounds, was buried : t Elwood. An opening had to be ' ed in the side of the house in orto remove the comn to the hearse ...xt the funeral services. Mrs. Chamness was 73 years old, and had lived In that city fifty-four years. She hadj made arrangements to celebrate her golden wedding on March 26, a few days before her death from dropsy. Dr. W. J. Holland, director of the Carnegie museum at Pittsburg, Pa., and a son of the late Professor Holland, of Hope, has been honored again. This time the king of Italy has conferred the commander of the crown decoration on him because of scientific service done for that country at the direction of Andrew Carnegie. The decoration was given Dr. Holland by Joseph Natail, Italian viceconsul at Pittsburg. Lewis Watsons love of reading good literature caused him to be brought into court at Nashville, where he pleaded guilty to stealing ten Young People's Reading Circle books from the Hamblen school. He was fined and costs and sentenced to serve ten days in jail. Watson is 16 years old and had read and reread all the books he could find. Getting tired of the same old stories he took ten books from a r,choolhouse In " Hamblen township, ! iirown County, and was indicted by j the grand jury. The Terre Haute Aerie of Eagles has taken an option on a residence property in Cherry street, 40 be used as a clubhouse and which will cost in the neighborhood of $20,000. Members bf the German Alliance of Evansville, fearing that the German language is not being preserved by sons of Germany In this county, have sent out circular letters calling upon all German American citizens to have j their children take up German in the public schools. , The Controller of the Currency has approved the application of Alfred A. Hoff, William Allemun, Louis N. Schaler, Aso Forsythe and Charles M. Sarber, to organize the First National I3ank of Argos, with $23,000 capital. Mice gnawing matches In the attic caused a fire that destroyed the homo of Mark Maddox, north of Wingate. The loss was $3,000. The fire was not discovered until it had made cood headway. Members of the family and neighbors were powerless to check the Arties, which burned the dwelling to ' ) ground.

ORGAN 13 OUT OF DATE

Only a Few Years Ago Every Rural Home Was Proud Possessor of One. JNCE COST $150; NOW ONLY $35 To-Day the Upright Piano Is Installed in the Flace of the Joy of the Family. Thirty years ago home wasn't happy unless It had its cabinet organ in the parlor, so that the daughter of the house could entertain the visitors evsry Sunday afternoon by chording a little after she had been sufficiently roaxed. The organ was always a beautiful thing very beautiful. A real beveled edge mirror was set in the top so that dt ughter could look upon herself as she Industriously pumped with both feet and chorded with both hands. It was great exercise playing the organ in those days. All organs were decorated alike. On Dne side was a picture of mother's father and mother; on the other side were father's parents. Cousin Harry, who was doing so well in Denver, beamed out from one side of the Chinese lily that Aunt Molly brought back from the city on her last trip there, while on the other side of the lily, looking down severely upon the wax fruit In it3 glass case, was Prof. Darwin, who used to be principal of the high school. But those days are gone now, the Kansas City Times says. A cabinet

The discovery in Ne w York that J. Fierpont Morgan controls one-ninth the wealth of the United States, through his railroad, banking, insurance and industrial connections, has caused financiers to look upon the "Colossus of Wall street" as a close rival to John D. Rockefeller. Many have expressed the belief that he will become the most powerful capitalist on earth. The total wealth controlled by Mr. Morgan is estimated at 50,170,308,423.

organ used to cost $150. Now you can buy an ordinary piano for that amount, white a new organ goes for $35 a dollar down and 50 cents a week. A second-hand organ sells for from $10 to $23. The farmers that used to own organs are now buying pianos. Some cf them are buying player pianos. B00V? have been written for the farmers' laughters that teach them to play a piano almost as well at if they were '.aught by an expensive teacher. Dy the diagram method they learn where f.o put their fingers wben they see certain notes, and many farmers' homes have daughters who have taught themselves to play almost as well as if they had employed a teacher. It was the coming of the upright piano that put the organs down and Dut," said a piano dealer recently "The old square piano couldn't be sold for less than $300. The upright was easier to handle and easier to put together, and It sold at first for about 1300. Twenty-five years ago only the rich the class that buys motor cars aow owned pianos. The medium class awned organs. Now only the poorer people buy organs. Pianos are being Improved rapidly. I think that in ten Fears all pianos will be made with player attachments." The musical taste of the people Is improving right along. Many organs ire still being sold. Every family nust have some sort of a musical instrument in the home and the manners of music stores testify that the iiusic that is being bought is of the 'aigher class. Just as much popular nrslc is being sold as ever, but the Jemand for high class music has dorcloped rapidly in the last ten years. MAKING LIFE LONGER.

hand, and of altruistic rectitude on th other are increased by human ingenuity. It will become more critical aa the growing multiplicity of the race brings upon it, in increasing stress, the distinctive humanistic phases of the struggle for existence now dimly foreshadowed. It will, beyond question, be more fully realized as the survival of the littest shall render it3 verdict on what is good and what is evil in this realm of the moral world. But to be most efiicient, moral purpose needs to be conjoined with the highest intelligence, and herein lies the function of research. None of the earlier races made systematic inquiry into the conditions of life and sought thereby to extend their careers. What can research do for the extension of the career of man? We are witnesses of what it Iö beginning to do in rendering the forces of nature subservient to man's control and In giving him command over the maladies of which he has long been the victim. Can it master the secrets of vital endurance, the mysteries of heredity, and all the fundamental physiological processes that condition the longevity of the race? The answer must be left bo the future, but I take no risk in affirming that when ethics and research join hands in a braid and earnest endeavor to compass the highest development and the greatest longevity of the race the era of humanity will really have begun."

' The United States soldier Is tougher and stronger physical- tougher than he was before the Spanish war," said Capt It. E. Thomas of Wilmington, Del. "It is not the war which is to be thanked for it. Athletic training has done the work. It is said this country gives far more attention to the physical culture of its soldiers than does either Great Brltavn, France or Germany. "While they require a daily setting up exercise similar to our own, thesa gun calisthenics and other prescribed forms of muscle stretching are supplemented In this country by athletic sports.

Weary is the back that bears the burden of kidney ills. There's no rest nor peace for the man or woman who has a bad back. The distress begins in early morning. You feel lame and not refreshed. It's hard to get out of bed. It hurts to stoop to tie your shoes. All day the ache keeps up. Any sudden movement sends a sharp twinge through the back. It is torture to stoop or straighten. At night the sufferer retires to toss and twist and groan. Backache is kidney' ache a throbbing, dull aching in the kidneys; To cure backache you must first cure the kidneys. Plasters or liniments won't do. You must get at the cause, inside.

Workmen in breweries fattea cats and turn them into a stew. Edward Topscl, who wiote learnedly about the cat his "History of Four-footed Beasts," was published in 1C07 v;r.s of the opinion that the I'csh of cats 11 seldom be free from , polson, "by reason of their daily food, eating rats and mice, wrens and other birds which, feed on poison, and above all the brain of a cat is most poisonous, for it being above measure dry, stonpeth the animal spirits, that they cannot pas3 into the ventricle, by reason whereof memory faileth, and the infected person falkth into a Phrenzis." But Topsel was prejudiced against the cat. The people of Savu, who lived the natural life when Capt. Cook visited them, preferred cats to sheep and goat3. in Germany many 'a cat has been sold for hare, and Jugsed cat has been relished there by foreign sojourners. The handsome daughter of a landlady far up in the Canton Vaud told us as a matter or course that when the snow was deep and communication was cut off, they all ate cats. What ZIIlKht Have Bees.

A man pursues bad luck oftener than bad luck pursues him. It is as difficult to transplant people as it is to transplant trees. Much of the "art" and "culture" you hear so much about Is simply loafing. When a married woman is only 20 years old she Is mighty proud of the fact. When a boy breaks his own bicycle, he breaks his sister's while his is being mended. If you think everyone has it in for you It will not be long until everyone will have. Let a wise man have good luck a few years and he will do as foolish things as anybody. The evangelist is net the only man disposed to send to hell all those who fail to agree with him. If it was not for pen and ink and ! the public platform, some men would burst with their pent up emotions. Every time a woman hears of a widower who has taken a secocd wife, she treats her husband a llttls meaner.

FOB BETTER FARMERS. Colombia University Adda Course In Agricultural Science. Columbia University has added agriculture to its curriculum. This action is responsive to the wave of Interest in farming that sweeps the country and to the perceptible demand for practical education which will fit people to return to the land wher they may escape the oppressive cost ol living that has become keenly fy t in all the cities. Within a radius of 150 miles of New York City are thousands of acres, the faculty learns, that are not contributing to the city as they should do. Delaware County milk. Orange County butter, Ulster County berries, Dutchess County apples and egg3 and Long Island vegetables, together with the produce of other large sections in Con necticut and New Jersey could be increased manifold In quantity and with vast improvement in quality. Restoration of such kind would lessen cost to consumers and yield good proflt tc producers. The university promoters think that in this nearby territory there is opportunity rarely presented for practical training in farm work. With the development of rapid transportation facilities, with good roads and tht vuto truck, the choicest products ol in farm may be delivered to citj consumers promptly and in good con Itlon. . It would bo useless, according to thi 'view, to encourage young men to gc iback to the land to practice methods .'which devastated the soil and Impov ;erished those who once owned it. Tbej must have the best equipment and scientific knowledge along with efficient training for the work. I While the lectures now arranged will deal with the scientific aspects ol jfarning, they will be divested as much ;as possible of technicalities. Instruction will be simple in its character, jand it will be addressed not only tc those who are directly engaged In farming, but as well to all who maj (bo interested in the agricultural conditions and problems of the country. Too Much for Ills Faith. "The late Bishop Hare," said a Sioux Falls physician, "used, very reasonably, to impute skepticism to misunderstanding. Ho once told me about Philadelphia business man of skeptical tendencies who said to him: "'My dear Mr. Hare I do not refuse to believe in the story of the ark. I can accept the ark's enormous size, its odd shape, and the vast number of animals it contained. But when I am askexl, my dear doctor, to believe that the Children of Israel carried this unwieldy thing for 40 years in the wilderness well, there, I'm bound to say, my faith breaks down.'

JL Substitute for 31 eat. The thrifty housewife will find in porridge an excellent substitute for meat. A cup of wbeat kernels should be soaked In hot water for 12 hours, then passed through a meat chopper or grinder and boiled slowly for an hour or more. Then serve with sugar and cream or a fruit preserve. It is more nourishing than meat. A cuprul of wheat grains will make a hearty meal for three persons and as the cost of a quart of wheat is only two cents this amount will feed a family of seven or eight for breakfast. Her Own Fault.
