" PLYMOUTH, IND. BENDRICKS Q CO.. - - Publishers. HASTE KILLS TASTE. Everywhere haste mars art among ns. What is the reason for so resplendent a failure as the congresslon jal library at Washington? Simply that haste precluded a thorough maturing of the general scheme and prevented the mural painters either from har-i paonizing their "work with the -whole or even doing their Individual test. Why; U the average tall building, in spite of Jts imposing mass, a poor thing to look at? Simply because the architect; has hurriedly applied Irrelevant orn& jnent to tlie work of the engineer Dnder commercial conditions thesej makeshifts may seem Inevitable. Buti the vice of precipitancy runs through,' our "whole social structure. Academe pud Parnassus suffer violence, and the Violent take them by force. How many; university chairs have been occupied by glib young scholars whose achievetnent was mostly verbal, while sound learning languished in obscure posi--lion? How many an actress has rolled her pretty eyes at an audience, to be extolled promptly as a star of magul tude? New York and New England are taking steps to improve their agricul-: tural conditiors, and, curiously, tnough, the leadership in the move-' aient is taken by railroad . presidents md merchants. The other day a meet-; Jng was held at the Produce Exchange! 9f New York and a permanent organltation was effected to preach and Illus-; träte the gospel of Intelligent, in-: tensive farming. Among the able adiresses delivered the most striking was that of President Brown of the, New York Central. He gave Amerl-, can. South American and Canadian statistics pointing the moral that we have surrendered our place as the first Df the food-exporting nations; that food production has not kept pace with consumption, and that In a few years we shall be compelled to Import grain. It seems that we have in the country, about 10,000,000 acres of practically abandoned farm land, while the land that is cultivated is bled here and merely scratched there. To the other favorable crop prospects must be added the prediction that cotton Is likely to show the largest yield on record. There Is gen-; eral agreement by experts as to the outlook for a big supply, the estimates' placing the figures between 13,000,OOo! and 14.000,000 bales. Should the latter total be touched a new "high water mark" will be reached. The great cotton crops heretofore were 13,556,000 bales In 1903, 13,550,000 bales in 1907 and 13,b28,S46 bales in 1909. Notwithstanding reports of ravages by the boll weevil and of attempts at restricting the output cotton appears to he on the gain and America furnishes the chief supply for the world. Two sailing ships. In coast parlance, "windjammers," have just gone to sea from Seattle provided with wireless ' telegraph equipment the first craft of : their character to be thus equipped. ! One of the ships was provided with ! the apparatus by her Japanese steward, who was formerly a member of the signal corps of his country's navy.; This Indicates that the Installation of wireles3 telegraphy on sailing ships Is, neither complex nor costly, and fore- , shadows quite general use of the valuable means of cmmunlcatlon. Ro mance and myste y are being driven j from the sea by steam and electricity. The great Oxford dict'onary that was begun by Dr. Murray in 1834 Is dow completed as far as "TV But it Is debatable matter whether modern English was spoken as far back as IS 84. Chauffeurs who find gasoline leaks by means of lighted matches must bet lineal descendants of those who used tc look for leaks in the gas pipe with lighted candles. Indianapolis doctors made a man a pew nose from a chunk of his leg. He limps now, and he can't smell, but otherwise the operation was a success. It Is significant that it Is the doctors who are declaring there are too many physicians and who would make It yet more difficult to become one. Balloon pilots are careful to avoid alighting when the ship is in motion. The term "affinity" is not libelous, decides a New Ycrk court It's awful hard to Insult a New Yorker, nowadays. All persons who are affected by sea sickness will look forward hopefully to. the development of airship transporta-. tioa across the English channeL Romance is not dead! Pretty soon our young people will begin eloping in aeroplanes. A bill collector gets one cent damAges because he was bitten by his creditor's dog. What's the price of that dog? Some of these who reformed just before the comet's tail was due to hit the earth have slid clear back again already. The principal thing in aeroplaning row seems to b3 to get a machine that w ill carry more tian two .passengers. The man who scratches for the bill sees a grim joke in the rooster Ftyle of millinery. Did any country ever launch a new battleship that wasn't the biggest In the world? Thl3 is ti e summer that we ordered and that was ec long in coming. One good thing about aeroplaning Is that it Is not a scenic railway.

CHAUFFEUR HELD' IN THE RÄWN CASE

Ernest Stevens, Negro, Is Arrested As Murder Suspect. CLAIMED HE MADE THREATS Police Admit They PJave But Little Evidence Against the Discharged Employe of the Monon President. Chicago. The culmination of the efforts to prove that Ira G. Rawn, president of the Monon railroad, died Wednesday morning at the hand of another person than himself, came In the arrest of Ernest Stevens, a negro chauffeur, formerly employed by the railroad man. The young negro came through a four-hour third degree ordeal at the hands of Coroner Hoffman, Deputy Police Chief Schuettler and a half dozen detectives with a story that ras practically unshaken. Although he was held that his statement might be verified, the authorities were about ready to admit that he had no part in the tragedy at WInnetka. The arrest of young Stevens came about through a report made to the coroner by H. P. Cullen, a collector, who reported to Coroner Hoffman that the negro had made threats against Mr. Rawn last May. Cullen told the coroner that he had learned that Stevens had been discharged as the Rawn chauffeur for joy riding. He threw this up to Stevens When the chauffeur was unable to pay a bill for a diamond ring. He declared that Stevens said in referring to Mr. Rawn: T that white man; I'll get him yet." Stevens denied this time and again during his examination. He expressed great admiration for hi3 former employer. He said that he had been discharged only because Mr. Rawn had sold his car. He dared the authorities to telephone to Ralph G. Coburn, Mr. Rawn's son-in-law, if they did not believe him. Coroner Hoffman took the negro at his word and reached Mr. Coburn at WInnetka and Mr. Coburn said the negro was telling the truth. He had been an excellent chauffeur, except for the fault that he was often late In keeping appointments. Mr. Coburn would not believe that Stevens bore Mr. Rawn any malice. Stevens furnished the police with a detailed account of his movements Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. He was nowhere near Winnetka. The police are verifying his statements and If Stevens has told' the truth he will be freed. With the chauffeur suspect out of the way the theory that Mr. Rawn took his own life , because he could no longer . stand the strain of worrying Over prospective disclosures of Illinois Central graft stands almost alone. Even members of his family are beginning to doubt their first belief that a burglar fired the shoL They admitted the possibility that he had tripped on his night gown while coming downstairs and shot himself by accident. Mrs. Rawn, the railroader's widow, although too prostrated to attend the funeral, roused herself by sheer force of will to dictate a statement detailing the events of Wednesday morning as nearly as , she could remember them. Mrs. Rawn whs sure of only one shot. She was not certain that she heard a scuffle. The noise which made her scream might have been the fall of her husband's body, for all she knows. She heard no one running away. $2CO,000 DIAMOND IS FOUND. Stone Weighing 191 Karats Reported Discovered in Premier Mine. New York.

MAI KILLED

VIRGINIA TOWN EXCITED OVtV;: THE ASSASSINATION OF A. H. COUSMAN. WAS SLEEPING IN HIS YARD Unknown Enemy Tossed Dynamite Bomb Which Landed in Hamm.vik and Exploded No Clew to the Murderer. Ridgeway, Va. Ex-Mayor A. H. Bousman was assassinated by a dyna mite bomb. ! No clue to the identity of the murderers or trace of them has been found. Mayor Bousman had been spending the hot evenings sleeping in a hammock swung between two trees on the lawn in front of his residence Without a word of warning at about 10 9'clock the bomb was thrown by someone passing along the street. It landed in the hammock at his feet and in an instant exploded. The exmayor's feet were torn away by the bursting shell and his legs mangled. Although the town authorities, when notified of the murder, made every effort to discover the assassin, no clew could be found and it is believed he escaped without being seen by anyone. The news quickly spread about town and excitement grew to a high pitch. The surrounding community is worked up over the murder and it is believed if the assassin is caught he will be summarily dealt with. As mayor of Ridgeway, Mr. Bousman presided over the police court of the town, trying petty cases. It is thought some person on whom Bousman in his court had passed sentence of punishment held a grudge against him, and had been awaiting an oppor tunity to wreak vengeance. He re cently declined to serve a second term. The terrific explosion attracted many persons, but the excitement was so great that apparently no one thought to search for the assassin until he had made his escape. The town council has offered a reward of $300 for the arrest of the bomb thrower and the governor will be asked to add $300. PLAN TO RAISE THE MAINE Swing Maine in Cradle of Cables to Permit Investigation. Washington, John F. O'Ronrke. the engineer who bridged the Hudson at Poughkeepsie and drove the Pennsylvania railroad's tunnel under the North river, laid before Assistant Secretary of War Oliver his plan for raising the Maine from the mud of Havana harbor. Briefly, this newest plan is based upon a system of pneumatic caissons, such as have made possible the building of extremely deep foundations under water, and which contributed largely to the success of the building of tunnels under the Hudson. No divers are used and the pontopn system is put completely aside. The method proposed Is to swing the Maine in a cradle of powerful cables and lift her completely out of tho waters where a complete Inspection of her hull will be possible. While the ship is suspended above water Mr. O'Rourke declares she can be repaired as readily a$ if she were In dry dock, and after being relaunched from the cable cradle can leave Havana harbor under her own steam. This is said to be the first plan yet proposed which would present the ship to a naval board in precisely the same condition as she sunk on the night of February 15, 1898. Boat Upsets; Two Drown.

DEMAND A PECULIAR WATCH In Turkey the Day Begins and Ends at Sunset, Which Is Called 12 O'clock.

. Consul Milo A. Jewett of Treblzond repeats the announcement that there Is a demand In Turkey fcr watches that indicate both. Turkish and "Franc" time. He writes: "For some years there probably will be a considerable demand for such watches In this country and Persia, For centuries reckoning time in this part of the world has been based on the assumption that the day ends and the new day begins at sunset, which is called 12 o'clock. This was universally observed by the people, who set dom had watches, Judging the time ot the day by the sun, this system also being employed by the civil and religious administrations. Watches and clocks made to keep regular mean time must be changed almost daily to adjust them to sunset time. "Turkey is adopting modern improvements and the more accurate and scientific reckoning of time used by the 'Francs' le coming into use. After discussion by the government it has been decided cot to impose the Franc or mean time by law. It will be Introduced gradually. Various administrations will employ mean time, and the people will gradually becomeaccustomed to and adopt it, being already introduced into most of the custom houses and in some military bureaus and schools. The building of railroads, which must employ accurate time, will tend to'Jntroduce modern time. There will be a leng period of transition from the old to the new, during which both s3'stem3 will be In use. During that period many people will want watches showing bot'a kinds of time, and it seems that a good business will be done In them. Watches of this sort have been made and sold in Turkey for years. They were bought only by a few persons, either foreigners or those having some relations with foreigners. "There are three systems of doubletime watches. One has two dials, one dial on each side of the watch; another, which seems more popular and is more easily repaired, has two small dials side by 'side on the same face. The third system, which Feems to be the best, has a central fixed dial for Turkish time. It Is stem wound and stem set with a mechanism which permits changing1 the hands of the watch or swinging the outer one bearing the figures for minutes and the Inner one for the hours.
