If! THE SHADE JUNE PASSES WITH RECORD OF GREATEST HEAT PERIOD IN YEARS. Health Conditions Are Good and no' Serious Effects of the Hot Wave Have Been Manifest. June has gone and lias left a record erf tropical intensity that will give the " eldest inhabitant a fruitful theme to dwell upon .for years to come although not so hot as June! 1800. Thursday the thermometer registered 04 degrees in the shade from 12 to 2 o clock. For the two succeeding hours it was 92 and after 1 it gradually dropped and at six o'clock it stood at 8G. Humanity is sweltering and business, except that which is necessary, ftfll off decidedly during the week. Passenger travel on the railroads was light, and much of it composed of people fle;.of to summer resorts. A passenger conductor on Xo. 8 Thursday n.rgbt was asked about his train. "That bunch in there are most all going to Winona," said he. " Every body is getting out erf Chicago who can." Roads that are on the line of lakes and resorts are doJng a special business that otherwise would be tame. Restaurants are '.aghit, because people do not come to town. The health thTOargbtoiit the county is remarkably good. Physicians say that the hot weather has not produced the amount of 'sickness that usually attends excessive heat. Children and infants are hbiding out well and fortunately a good condition were much alike. On June 10 of health prevails. The year 1895 and this year 1895 the mercury dropped to 38, in Plymouth and it did the same filing this year. These were the coldest June days- ver recorded here. During the month erf June 189."), the mercury registered 98 in the shade but there have been more hot .diays in June 1910. Although individual cases of debility or -disease arising from the curnenit climatic changes can only be safely treated by experienced physicians, there are a few more general precautions for preserving the health at this season. In the matter of dress it is indispensable that the clothing be of light weight, to permit free prespiratkm and free evaporation from the skin which is nature's primal provision for preventing too great am increase of body temperature. The outer garments should be erf the light colors, which serve to reduce the quantity of solar heat reaching the body. But rt is desirable that the clothing should not be so light that the body is subjected to sudden chilling when exposed to indoor draughts of air, high winds or a rapid drop of the external temperature, always occurring after the heavy th-un-fcfer stTrmfc. Consequdnttly, $n our latitudes the texture of summer clothing should never be wholly devoid erf wool, though it is imperative to keep the neck and chest a.-? coWI and unencumbered as possible. But no precaution against the effects of excessive heat will avail much unless the digestion is maintain! in a normal state. To secure this happv condition all impure, stale and twice cooked foods should be eschewed and the gastric in ices should not be robbed of their digestive value bv dilution with an over supply of soiros. The simplest foods, taken in moderate quantity art always preferable when thermometers ?re climbing into the nineties. The immoderate use of ice cold drinks of any kind causes a serious and sometimes a fatal check to the digestive processes and consequently to the proper action of the heart, so indispensable to preserve the natural circulation when a high vapor tension rrf the atmosphere makes destructive of all healthy conditions at such times is the over it most oppressive. Still more indulgence in alcoholic drinks. With a careful observance of such simple precautions there is little reason to apprehend the fata! consequences of 'heat waves, ' unless a person is weakened by insufficiencv of sleep, overwork or overexertion. Move to South Bend. Ottoo Albert ami family will move to South Bend, where 'Mr. Albert is engaged in business.

CHARGED WITH SETTING FIRE TO TWO BARNS AT INWOOD Is Bound Over to September Term of Court in Sum of $500 and is Sent to Jail O. C. Gibbons, who suffered the loss by fire of two barns, at Inwood, the 22nd of May has caused the arrest of Calvin E. Neiswender of Inwood, on the charge of arson. It will be remembered that two of Mr. Gibbons' barns burned mysteriously at an early hour Sunday morning of May 23. Besides the barns there were destroyed 25 tons of hay, 700 bushels of corn, 3 cows, 25 head of swine and other contents of the barns. Upon obtaining sufficient evidence to convince him of the cause of the fire Mr. Gibbons caused a warrant to be issued upon Calvin E. Neiswender, charging him with setting fire to the barns, which resulted in their complete destruction with contents. Mr. Gibbons placed his loss at between $2300 and 2500. The preliminary hearing was held in Justice Holloway's court Saturday forenoon, and the justice considered the evidence sufficient to warrant him in binding the defendant over to the circuit court, fixing bond at $500. The defendant was unable to give bond and was sentenced to jail to await action of the September term of court. A peculiarity of the preliminary hearing was that Neiswender's wife and his mother-in-law gave in the strongest testimony against him. Neiswender is about 26 years old and had worked at times for Mr. Gibbons. He has been up in the Justice courts before. Have Outing at Pretty Lake.

PROMINENT ATTORNEYS

DISBARRED TALBOT AND DARROW DEFEATED IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIANA. Judges Rule that South Bend Attorney and Laporte's Mayor Can Not Practice Law. The disbarment case of John Talbot of South Bend has attracted much interest in Plymouth, both attorneys being well known here. News comes from Indianapolis that as a result of a ruling of the supreme court Friday. John W. Talbot of South Bend supreme president of the Order of Owls, and Lemuel Darrow, mayor of Laporte are disbarred attorneys. By another ruling in the appellate court December 11, 1908, the disbarment proceedings which were originally filed in Laporte, stand as though they had never been given a hearing. Owing to the dilemma, attorneys for the defendants will file a petition for a rehearing of the cause to determine just where they are at. The supreme court Friday affirmed the disbarment verdict rendered in the Elkhart circuit court, when the case was heard several years ago before Judge Dodge. The case reached the supreme tribunal, when attorneys for the defendants filed a petition asking that no retrial be held, as directed by the appellate division. The opinion was written by Judge L. J. Monks. He said the evidence was conflicting, but it was not for the su- preme court to weigh the evidence. He asserted that Talbot's defense that the Laporte court had no jurisdiction was not well founded. The case was filed in Laporte during the February term of court, 1905, as the result of the acquittal of Mrs. Stella Lulu of Michigan City, on a charge of stealing furs from a store in that city. The defense maintained the furs were purchased at the Fair Chicago. Mrs. Lulu was acquitted. The plaintiffs charged that Mrs. Rose Duck of Argos was made to swear that she was a clerk in the Fair and sold the furs to Mrs. Lulu and that Talbot had introduced Mrs Duck to Mr. Darrow. Charges were referred against the three attorneys. Worden and Darrow representing Mrs. Lulu in the action. The case was venued from Laporte county to St. Joseph county on motion of Mr. Talbot. The prosecution committee took a change to Elkhart county and the case was tried at the December term, 1905. The jury found Worden not guilty and Talbot and Darrow guilty. Judge Dodge pronounced judgment, disbarring the two attorneys. A motion for a new trial was overruled and the case was taken to the appellate court by the defendants. The case was ordered remanded last June in that tribunal. In the meantime the parties had no right for any more changes of venue and a special bill was passed in the legislature granting the right of a change of venue from Judge Dodge. The prosecution asked a rehearing of the case, filing a petition in the appellate court. That tribunal denied the opinion, ruling that the opinion of the court in June 1908 that Judge Dodge of the Elkhart circuit court misinstruct - ed the jury as to the law governing the liability of the defendants stands. The case was remanded to the Elkhart tribunal at that time for retrial. Attorneys then filed a petition in the supreme court, asking that no retrial be had and questioning the jurisdiction of any court on some phases of the case. The opinion today denies the opinion and confirms the Elkhart court verdict disbarring Talbor and Darrow. Was the Devil With Him.

State Committee Meets and Decides to Establish Press Bureau at Once Head is Selected. The action of some of the Democratic county conventions, in repudiating the Democratic Mate platform on the liquor question is worrying the leaders in the state organization. Hide fact cropped out at the monthly meetimr Ot t ie Ucmocratir state committee Thursday at the Den-. ison Hotel. Dicussibn on the subject was lively for a time and the leaders are at a loss to know how to meet the situation. Democratic countv con ventions have been nleririnf their nominees to the retention of the county local option law. Boone county being one of the first to take such action. The resolu-

of the resolutions committee. Mr. Ralston is re-fordod as one of the pillars of the Taggart orconization, lohnson county and Wells countv have pledged their candidates practically to the ptv ention of the county local opiOn law in direct- renudiation of the Deinocratic state platform, which declares for the substitulion oT township and municipal p and municipal ocal option. In al)b'Ut one-third of the counties of the state the Democranit county conventions have nlot been held and how the lixiw (iirtistion shlall be handled there is the thing that is agitat ing the leaders." There is a disposition in some of these counties, especially those in which temperance sentiment is strong, not to stand by the state platform, which the rank and file does not approve. What the lilAiral leaders in the party headed by Senator Fleming, would like to have done in these counties is that the resolutions say little or nothing on the liquor question so the candidates may Ieft unpledged. This would he regarded as a victory by the liberal element, espeeialy since the temperance element is fighting for the opposite. League Gets Pledges. The Anti-Saloon Leagu'e, it was brought out Thursday is pledging Democratic candidates as 'well as Republican candidates. Another question that is worrying t)? Demiocratic organization is tbe record made by Congress at the close of its recent session. The Democratic leaders realize that Republican ora tors will go tort'h in the earnpaign xintiii)g to the netord of achievement by the Rqnibhcan majority in Congress and the Democrats will find it hard to meet the argument. This, it was pointed out will have, to be met in the congressional campaign. The committee voted to establish a press bureau at '.state headquarters and tendered the appointment as chief erf the bureau to Guernsey Van Riper a Uvell known newspaper man ot
