EARLY FRUIT HURT BY COLDWEATHER Believed That the Damage Will Be Considerably More Than Expected.

BUDS ARE BLACKENED. CONTAINED WATER AND WERE FAR ADVANCED, MAKING THEM EASY PREY FOR COLD LATE FRUIT NOT INJURED SO MUCH. Early fruit is believed to have suff pi cd from the cold weather of the last few mornings and a well known local horticulturist said today he believes the damage will be considerable. The frosts and freezes followed rains and came when the fruit buds were thoroughly satuated with water. An examination of buds shows that many pre blackened and this is a sure indication of death by freezing. This is true especially of the early varieties of fruits. The later varieties wera not developed sufficiently to be. damaged much. The apples and late fruits are jiot believed to be injured in the least but strawberries have suffered and a t-hort crop may be expected. Early garden truck was damaged also and home killed. The. warm sunshine of the latter )art of March and the copious rains advanced the green stuffs and fruits no rapidly that they were easy victims to the frost king. Many plants were far ahead of the season and were in prime condition to bo nipped. The back set they have suffered will be noticed at the time of maturity. The heavy rains washed onion sets and letince, raddlsh and similar early garden truck seed out of the soil and these will be late in maturing. CAMBRIDGE CITY, IMD. Cambridge City. Ind..

Friends who have visited Mrs. Margaret McCaffrey, at the Keid Memorial hospital, report that she is improving as rapidly as could be expected, and hopes to be at home in a frhort time. An interesting meeting of the Woman's Home Missionary society was held at the home of Mrs. Barbara Barefoot, on last Thursday afternoon. The paper of the afternoon "Child Toilers." by Mrs. Thad Frazer, was considered one of the strongest papers of the year, bringing out many strong points in' the child labor problem. A .lively discussion followed, indicative of the fact, that the ladies had not only been reading, but thinking along this line. Mrs. Lena Greene, and Mrs. Will Hunt, of Abington. were here to attend the K. of P. convention, and were the guests of Mrs. Carl Boyd. B. F.

WEATHER PREVENTS SOWING OF OATS

Many Acres Will Be Planted in Corn. The continued wet weather of the past two weeks has made it impossible for the farmers to put out their oats crop and several who intended to put j out a large acreage will now put the ground in corn. The outlook now is good for i he planting of a great crop of corn this spring, due to the necessarily short oats crop. DEATH WAS ON HIS HEELS. Jesse P. Morris of Skippers, Va., had a close call in the spring of lftOtf. He says: "An attack of pneumonia left me so weak and with such a fearful cough that my friends declared consumption had m and death was on my heels. Then I was persuaded to try Dr. Kings New Discovery. It helped ine immediately, and after taking two and a half bottles I was a well man again. found out that New Dis- j covery is the best remedy for coughs j and lung disease in all the world." j Sold under guarantee at.

Be Many farmers throughout Rush county have turned their attention from the raising of cattle and hogs and have entered a ne wfield. that of raising and feeding mules. Many farmers say that there has been no money made in feeding cattle in the past five years and where many farmers were once engaged in this industry there is nothing doing row. The raising of mules is very profitable and it has been found out. Knightstown Banner. IMPORTANT DECISION. It is important that you should decide to take only Foley's Honey and Tar when you have a cough or cold as it will cure the most obstinate racking cough and expel the cold from your system. Foley's Honey and Tar contains no harmful drugs. Insist upon having it. A. G. Luken & Co. SANi iV.rtY CONCKLTL. Building Material of the Future and Ita Advantages. The advantages of concrete on the mechanical side nre these: It is proof against fire, wind and water, rats, insects and dry rot and the danger of electricity. It needs no painting or repair. Fire or wnter overflow inside can do only local damage to the contents of a room and no more. It becomes stronger and harder with age, which is, of course, an advantage, except when additions or alterations are made, involving hard work to cut the walls nud floors. There are no leaky roofs, no damp or cold east or north rooms. There is great economy of heating. Being a firm mass throughout, like a house made of baked clay, there is no vibration, and in case one spot of the foundation should be undermined the well knit structure might not show so much as a crack. It is practically earthquake proof. Concrete is healthful because it leaves no fissures for dust or for Insects which spread disease. It is cool in summer and warm in winter, and Tvith a minimum of exertion can be kept sweet and clean. On the artistic side, as the house beautiful, it lends itself to sculpture and painting, and as an object on the landscape it can be made- a joy to the eyes. Country Life In America. Red and White Wine. "Amisapprehensionabout the strength of red and white wines exists," said a vine grower. "Because red wine has a darker, richer look people think it Is more intoxicating. The opposite, really, is the case. Ked wines, are made by fermenting grape juice, skins and seeds together. White wines are made by fermenting juice aloue. In the skins and seeds there is a lot of tannin, and red wine contains much tannin, while white wine contains none. This tannin, an astringent, closes the pores of the stomach aud prevents the alcohol in the red wine from entering the blood freely and going, as the saying is, to the head. White wine, champagne for instance, has no tannin, and hence its intoxicating properties are much more keenly to be feared than those of the tannin filled red wine." Philadelphia Bulletin. Indnatrtoas Cnlaeae Children. The Chinese are a wonderfully industrious people, and their children learn very early to make themselves useful. In the streets of a Chinese town it is no uncommon sight to see two children who are so voting that they can hardly talk trotting along with a bamboo pol on their shoulders, by which they are carrying home a pail of water. If one child is stronger than the other the pail is hung near his shoulder, for thus he takes tie '"heavy end of the pole-"

WILD HORSES A PROBLEM FOR WEST

Thousands Roaming National Reservation Are Considered Nuisance. CLASSED AS "VARMINTS.' NOTHING IS STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THEM AND MUCH LIVE STOCK IS KILLED BY THEIR WILD RAIDS OVER COUNTRY. Washington. P. C. April 4. Wild horses by the thousands are overrunning the government National Forests of Nevada and neighboring states-, and the authorities in Washington are besieged with petitions from stockmen and farmers, begging them to put a stop to the nuisance. A recent dispatch from Reno conveyed the intelligence that there are fifteen thousand of the untamed beasts upon the Toiyabe. Toquina and Monitor forest reserves in Landor county alone, and that orders have been received by the forest, rangers to begin a systematic war of extermination upon them. Within the last few years they have increased to such an extent that in many localities they are classed as 'varmints," with wolves, wildcats and grizzlies, and every inan"s rifle is turned against them. No fence is strong enough to stop these horses, and when they appear in force they have even been known to knock down and kill cows and calves. After each visitation from a herd the ranchman is likely to mourn the loss of his domestic horses, and it requires only a few days' association with their new companions for the best broken. animals to become as wild as their nomadic comrades.

Drapier." appeared in a Dublin newspaper in 1724, murk an era in Irish history. They were the work of Dean Swift, the author of "Gulliver's Travels." The occasion calling them forth was the grant of a patent in 1723 to William Wood, an Englishman of Birmingham, to coin halfpence and farthings to the extent of 108.000 to be current in Ireland, where there was a deficiency of copper coinage. Public feeling in Ireland was in a state of irritation at its treatment by Eugland, and Swift took advantage of this coinage business to advocate the rights of Ireland. Uuder the mask of a plain, honest, patriotic tradesman he counseled all true patriots not only to refuse to take the new coinage, but to refrsin from using any English manufactures whatever. The result was tremendous. No one would take Wood's money, and associations were formed for refusing the currency. The publication of the first three letters had so roused the temper of Ireland that it was now easy for Swift to come to the real point of issue. In the fourth letter he accordingly treats of the royal prerogative. The government instantly took alarm aud offered a reward of 300 for the discovery of the author of this fourth letter. Its printer was thrown into prison. But all was in vain. The government yielded to the storm. Wood's patent was surrendered, the patentee being indemnified by a grant of 3.000 yearly for twelve years. Thus, through the force and animation of Swift's arguments, victoriously terminated the first grand struggle for the independence of Ireland. London Tit-Bits. HE GOT WHAT HE NEEDED.

GENNETT. Week of April 6 Glick Stock Co. Repertoire at the Gennett. Speaking of the play wiih which the Glick Stock company will open its engagement, at the Gennett Monday night, an exchange says: "A Thorn in Her Heart." the newest of the society comedy dramas, is a play brimful of comedy and heart-interest: it has a plot that is as simple as it is ingenious, and a scenic environment that is second to none. In fact the entire construction shows a masterhand as stage craft has evolved jit. The story is an interesting one jand deals with every day people who j use everyday language. There is no straining for effects, no impossible sit uations and no tawdry climaxes just good, wholesome comedy and action that, is thrilling. There are some of the brightest specialties known to vaudeville introduced between the acts and during the action of the play. The company has met with nothing but success and unstinted praise in every city visited. Vaudeville at the Phillips. The headline act at the New Phillips Vaudeville theatre next week will be Bryant and Saville, in their latest creation, "Start Me," in which they play solos and duets on novelty instruments and also introduce song sheets. This act is said to be entirely different, from anything that has preceded at the New Phillips, and it is expected that, it will prove as satisfactory as the headline act, as the others of this nature that have been brought to this house in the past several weeks. Other acts appearing on the hill include the following: Piano overture, by Miss Eva Hazeltine, assisted by the Phillips Theatre Orchestra: Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hussey, in a Ventriloquial musical specialty; illustrated song, "When Mandy Said Goodbye," Miss Thompson; The Three Troubadours, composed of the merry singing lads, Mr. Willard Jarvis, first tenor, Mr. Chas. A. Van, second tenor, and Mr. Effin Bronston, baritone; John A. Hawkins, the college athlete and world's greatest, juniper, and the cameragraph, in latest motion pictures. There will be no change in the order of performances for the week. The usual souvenir, matinee for the ladies will be given on Wednesday, and a special matinee for the children on Saturday.

CONSUMERTO FOOT FREIGHT LOSSES Men Who Eat Beans, Sugar, Flour and Other Things May Suffer. RAILROADS TO BLAME. OWING TO LOSS OF CARRYING COMPANIES DUE TO CLAIMS FOR LOST FREIGHT RATES ARE EXPECTED TO BE RAISED. Chicago, April -f. Shippers of groceries, soap, hardware and many classes of dry goods all over the country fear they are going to enable eastern railways to recoup any losses due to passenger rate reductions, and the man who includes beans, sugar, flour and cabbages, among other things, in his diet may have to pay enough more to give railroads a 15 per cent advance for hauling them. Various associations of western shippers and manufacturers have been here trying to dissuade the Eastern Classification committee from changes which would amount to advance in rates. The explanation of the railroads is that they simply want goods crated or boxed, to avoid claims for loss or damage which, they assert, have increased 100 per cent since rebates were abolished. Last year I'.'l.OOt , was paid by railroads of the country in settlement of freight loss and damage claims, according to figures given by R. C. Richards, general claim agent for the Chicago & Northwestern railway, in an address. "This sum," he added, "was ." per cent more than was paid ten years ago by the transportation companies. During the same period the number of traffic managers of industrial concerns has increased by about the same per centage. I w ill not undertake to say what relation the one bears to the other. The great causes of delay in the investigation and settlement of claims are the improper steps taken by claimants in presenting claims. The large increase in this item of expense demands the best thought of every railroad manager in the country." Mr. Richards urged greater business cooperation between the shippers and the railroads and declared that through co-operation the present big troubles of both would become unimportant and easily settled. A COMMON MISTAKE Many women mistake kidney and bladder troubles for some irregularity peculiar to the sex. Foley's Kidney Remedy corrects irregularities and makes women well. Miss Carrie Harden, Bowling Green. Ky., writes: "I suffered much pain from kidney and bladder trouble until I started to use Foley's Kidney Remedy. The first bottle gave me great relief, and after taking the second bottle. I was entirely well." A. G. Luken & Co.
