FORUM OF THE PEOPLE OPEN TO ALL. SITUATION AT WHITEWATER. I JEditor Palladium: By request I desire to correct the statement published in the Saturday lissue of the Daily Palladium, stating that there was three new cases of diphtheria In my family. There has "been only one case of true diphtheria .In Franklin township. Ray, the 10-,year-old son of Eddie Jordan, ba3 been sick for several days. lie is now convalescing and I trust that thorough disinfection will wipe out of existence .every baccilli of diphtheria in Frankiiine township. The undue excitement wad due to the misrepresentation of a party who claimed my entire family lad diphtheria and that I was smug gling the matter. I have not been entitled to a particle of criticism at any time. My wife had an attack of .tonsiUti9after returning home from a !vlsit to relatives In Marion, and for the reason that she remained over night In a house where there had been a. case of. diphtheria last March, I quar antlned her on the second floor and did not permitany one except myself ;to go up stairs, and administered 4,000 units of anti-toxlne and guarded against every source of infection, so as to avoid any chance of conveying in fection to anyone else. No membrane developed at any time and anything short of a bacteriological examination at the- state laboratories could not have determined to a certainty that it waa a case of diphtheria. My family tare all well at this time and no other member of my household has had a particle of throat trouble. The house at Marion hadbeen disinfected by the health officer. The bacclllus of diphtheria has been found virulent after seven months. The chance of diphtheria, was small under the circum stances, but I did not' wait to see If a diphtheria membrane would develop, and none did at any time. The facts as stated above are correct and I gave the public the benefit of the doubt in this case, and stated the- facts dally as given above, which-are sufficient, con sldering that there was no known chance of Infection and no diphtheria membrane developed. The chance cf t Infection, at "Whitewater will' be exceed-Ingiy(-sTnall after July-2nd. Respectfully, A. H. JONES, Health Officer.

Wol.e of Q!o vrfnc: Well Drowned All Other Sound. In the Broadway Magazine is a story by Rupert Uughe3 concerning the oil wells of Texas. He tells of the birth of a "gasser." "It screamed like the death cry of a thousand panthers." He says: "The long steel cable has been sent flying like a twine srriug. A great length of pipe has been curled against a tree and wrapped around it The derrick was almost hidden ln a white haze. A geyser of fine sand was streaming up ward and eating away the lofty crown block. ' "Seta knew what it was. He found Tom, and they gesticulated at each other. They made faces, but no audi ble sound. Their voices were vain as candles in the full sunlight. Each was trying to yell the same thing. " 'She's a gasser, blowing her head off "Men gathered from everywhere and acted like crazy folk, working their jaws and delivering no message. "They were soaked, drowned, ob literated In a sea of intolerable noise. "A mile away at the railroad station the passengers were equally made dumb by the uproar. If a man want ed a ticket he had to write out the name of the station. An engine rolled In with a bell that rocked without sound and a whistle emitting puffs of white steam that no one heard. vine animals or tne region were greatly disturbed. There was much breaking of harness on the part of horses, and one or two galloped about under cinpty saddles. Their riders were doubtless stuck In the mud some where, head first. "A few pigs wandering here and there had sniffed at the noise and re turned to their luxurious wallows in the oily rauck." fretr Crooked. People who have seen cottonwood lumber warp when It came from the saw can appreciate a story about th? first sawmUl erected at Fort Scott. After the first day's sewing the owner of the mill came down from town, where he had been celebrating the "opening" with the boys. He looked over the crooked hoards seattered about the yard for n moment and then Inquired wit'a drunkeu gravity: "Boysh (h!c).' has that lumber been measured yetT "It ties not," replied the foreman of the mill "Well, when it gets still, take a (hlc. corkscrew and measure It." . 1 1 " Essential to B4s:ra.phy.

YEAR WILL BE REQUIRED. THAT MUCH TIME IS NECESSARY TO REARRANGE SCHEDULES. Official Thinks All the Railroads Will Meet the Two-Cent Rate as Quickly as It Is Possible. A local Pennsylvania official states that all railroads will meet the 2-cent rate passed by several states as quickly after July 4,as the interstate commerce commission would permit. It has become impossible, he says, to maintain Interstate rates on the old basis, and the commission will be asked for a special dispensation to reduce rates without waiting the usual thirty days. These new rates will be put on within ten days on short inter state tickets. But it will require nearly a year to rearrange all the schedules of the country. ; SILENCE IS BROKEN. Speculation as to why the Pennsylva nia did not Install a flat two-cent rate interstate as well as intrastate, and as to whether it would ever be installed under the existing conditions, has been ended by the road being the first to break the silence with the announcement that after August 1, it would reduce Its fares between Richmond and SAVED BY CLEAN HANDS. Thrilling Incident of the Days of the Paris Commune. Frederic Villiers' "Peaceful Person alities and Warriors Bold" contains a striking and somewhat bloody tale ol the terrible days of the Paris com mune. An unnamed Englishman tells the story of himself and Archibald Forbes, the great war correspondent: "There was a good deal of fighting in the streets at the time, for the Ver sailles troops were pressing hard upon the communists. One afternoon, in a street net far from where we were sit ting, I was rounded up by a party of rebels and made to wont erecting a barricade, when I found another EnglLshmaa pressed for the same business. It was Ferbes, the war correspondent. We chummed together atour distasteful-work, which we were compelled to door rlskbeing shot for spies. "Presently the barricade was attack ed by the Versa! Heists, and. the communists, after a sharp fight, were driv en hvfter. fckelter down the;, street Forbes and I ran with them. Presently he shouted, 'Dive Into that wineshop on the left!' I Immediately did so, and Forbes, catching , hold of me, pushed me through a shop to a back yard, where we found a "pump. 'Now, said he, "wash your hanca; quickly and let me have a turn. After our ablutions he hurried me, back into the street. That simple incident" of Washing my hands saved my.Iife,.atid I always re member it with gratitude. "We had hardly gained the street be fore we were rousldy arrested by the victorious troops, who would not listen to ajy explanation, and were 'hurried along with many other, prisoners til! we came, to a blank wall, .where a'hali was made. About a.dosen of us wer? made to stand' in a line with our back? to the wall. 'Hands'upr cried the of ficer iu charge. "The poor devils , who bad soiled hands were told' to remain. Forbes and I were-the onlyixaen who were allowed to fall out, fr"onr. hands' showed no sign of barricade work or soil of pow der upon them. Before we realized what had happened the rest were rid died with bullets. It was a ghastl? sight." Hereafter all Chinese who die in Wyoming will be sent to Billings, Mont.,

Cincinnati will be lowered from $1.45 to $1.25 one way, while the round trip fare will be lower ed from $2.00 to $2.50. The one wa fare from Richmond to Chicago will be reduced from $5.55 to $4.50, while the round trip will be reduced from $11.10 to $0.00. All intermediate points wil be graded on the same schedule. It Is said at the local Pennsylvania station that the most recent move on the part of the Pennsylvania is sim ply a beginning of a general arrange ment of interstate tariffs on a flat two cent basis, but the announcement that the rates will go into . effect only be tween this city and Cincinnati and Chicago, gives room for the opinion that the Pennsylvania, by its lates move, is simply warring with the C, C. HAYES IS IMPROVED. Conductor J. J. Hayes, who was in jured In the wreck of No. 7 on the G, R. & I. several weeks ago, where also a number of local colored people were injured, is able to be about at his home in Ft.. Wayne. It is probable he will resume his run Into this city in two weeks. COLLINS IS BACK. John Collins, assistant chief clerk to Guy S. McCabe, division freight agent. has returned to work after a two weeks' vacation. Where Chefs Must Be Chemists. Chefs of many of the second class Parisian restaurants must be chemists as well as cooks. Before one is hired, according to the Cri de Paris, a menu is handed him containing the names of certain fish, meat, fowl, venison and other dishes. He is expected to give an example of his skill and prepare the needed dishes from veal, rabbit and filet of sole, with the aid of colorings and chemicals. By the use of cochineal the cook produces salmon. From veal he produces "cotelettes de volailles pa nees," "epigram mes d'agneay" and by the use of sirup "riz re veau." Babbits are transformed Into "civet de lievre," "salmis de gibier," "ragout de volaille poulet en casserole," "pouleta la Ma rengo" and other dishes. Wiring a piano requires one mile of the very best steel wire. Five hundred single strings are necessary. GETTING READY Feeding Ahead cf Hot Weather. "Xot quite so much meat in snrlne u - . - - - iime. use tne cereals, as thev heat tne blood less." Seasonable advice from an old practitioner. If one uses some care as to fonrf. the hot weather will be passed as comfortably as any season. In fact, a person possessed of a perfectly balanced set of nerves can be nanny and comfortable under most any conditions. The truest food for building up the nervous system to a perfect condition Is Grape-Nuts. The makers are skilled in their art, and knowing that nature fills the brain and nerve centres with a soft gray matter which is used up more or less each day and must be replaced (or nervous prostration sets in), and also knowing that this gray matter is made by the combination of albumen, and phosphate of potash, they select the parts of the field grains that contain the needed materials, manufacture them into a delicious food, ready cooked, predigested.and of a fascinating flavour. The use of Grape-Nuts quickly proves that it really does rebuild and strengthen the nervous system in a most certain manner.

E OF THE LIFE

ES LIFTED There Has Been a Marked Improvement in Insurance Field in Indiana. SPECIAL CONTRACTS OUT. RESULT OF THE AUDITOR'S CRUSADE WILL BE A BIG GAIN TO THE PUBLIC THAT BUYS SURANCE. IN-i Indianapolis, Ind., July 2 For the Xi. . . . -t u cuV iu stance in the history of many companies special contracts are not being written by life insurance companies doing business ia Indiana. It is likely that this bane of the life insurance business will be no longer experienced in this state. All of the companies ceased writin? special contracts the first of June, not by their own volition, but as the result of a decree issued by Auditor of State Billheimer. That this great re form in the insurance business has. been accomplished 13 due entirely t the fearless position taken by the au ditor of state and his determination to compel the companies to cease writinc a policy that is generally believed to be a burden to the vast majority of policy holders who do not have specia contracts. Many of the companies protested against the decree of the auditor, but the latter stood his ground and in formed the companies that unless they ceased the special contract writing he would bring suits to mandate them to obey the law. There was some question as to whether the auditor could compel the companies to give up writing special contracts, but he took a chance and they acquiesced In his demands. Big Gain for Public. The result of the auditor's crusade will be a big gain to the public that buys insurance. Experts figured re cently that the burden of special con tract3 on the other policy holders cost them 15 or 20 per cent annually on their policies that they should have received in dividends. In view of the fact that there is probably more than $100,000,000 worth of insurance In force in this state, the annual saving to the policy holders can be appre elated. Many of the companies objected tc the auditor's demand on the ground that it would put them out of business This appeal came from some of the younger organizations that were at tempting to build up on an exclusive special contract basis. It was the opinion of the experts connected with the auditor's department that it would be unsafe to permit any of these com panies to continue writing special con tracts. Three or four have quit bust ness since the auditor made his rut ing, but they were not strong enough to stand up and make a fight within the laws as the auditor interpreted them. "It is believed that as the result ol the action of the companies the insur ance business in this state will soon be on a much stronger foundation and that it will be only a matter of a ver short time before Indiana takes flrsl rank as the home of insurance compa nies that can be relied on. Republican Reform Accomplished. One of the principal features of the Insurance bills defeated during the last session of the legislature because of the almost united stand of the Dem ocrats aaainst them wa3 the clause forbidding the writing of special con tracts. When these bills were de feated It was not thought that there would be any Insurance reform for ai least two years. The insurance men who had fought the bills were in high glee, believing that their victory would be permanent. It develops, however that they reckoned entirely without their host and that this desirable re form has finally been accomplished bj the servants of the people who were nominated and elected by the Repub lican party. Apropos of the result of Auditor Bill heimer's demand, it may be stated here that the Democrats were con sistently opposed to insurance reform during the recent session of the legis lature. The only time they were evei for the Babcedk-Farber bills was when they thought they might put the Re publicans in a hole. Then their lead ers sent out the word that they musi support the measures. They thought they were playing a political master stroke, but a little later, when thej thought they could play more politics they reversed their actions and caused the death of the bills. Those whe were in close touch with the Demo cratic leaders throughout the session knew that they never thought serious ly of the proposed reforms in the in surance business and that they never cared to take any position except ir hopes of embarrassing the Repubii cans. Under these circumstances the re form that has been accomplished b the auditor's department is all thf more significant. Not only has the writing of special contracts been stopped, but under "the -new laws en acted by the recent. legislature the auditor is enabledHo" keep such close tab on the life insurance companies that the opportunities for fraud have been minimized. The auditor has. a new deputy in the Insurance department 'who Is giving such close attention to the securities deposited by the' insurance-companies that they will not have any chance of putttngfup worthless paper as a guarantee of 'thefr goodt faith and as security" fort the money they have ob tained from thefr'poliey holders.

A COMICAL LAWSUIT. Odd Revenga of the Whimsical Count Do Lauraguais. The Count de Lauruguels was one of the most singular characters of a whimsical time. lie was full of oddities and had a reckless spirit of daring. The boldness ef his language and action once drew upon him the displeas ure of Louis XVI.. whe banished him from Paris, but he came back on a festnl day anil was seen in the very face of the court walking about a race course. The king winked at the escapade. Such a culprit was incorrigible. But one of the most absurd of his antics had to do with the Prince D., a very dull courtier, against whom he had a grudge. One day the couut applied very gravely to a physician, asking If It were possible for a person to die of ennui. "Such a thing," said the doctor, "would be very singular and very rare." "But what I want to know, said the count, "Is whether It would be possible." "Well," answered the doctor, "a long continued state of ennui might Induce some disease, such as consumption, and in that sense it might cause the patient's death." On this the consultation was written down and signed at the count's request and the fee paid. Next be went to an advocate and asked whether he could make a legal complaint against a man who by any means whatsoever had formed a design against his life. The advocate assured him that there was not the least doubt of it and in his turn signed declaration. Armed with these documents, the Count de Lauraguais insti
