"PEST" JS BEATEH Grant Gilbert Thrashes Man Who Is Termed "A Wild Indian."

BREAKS A BONE DOING IT. Melville Strong, a resident of Earlbam Heights, was arrested on the charge preferred by his neighbor, Grant Gilbert. The two men engaged In hostilities this morning with the result that Gilbert hit Strong in the head so hard as to break a knuckle on his right hand. Gilbert then filed barges against his adversary. Gilbert states that he and Strong have been having trouble for some time. He describes Strong as a kind of a neighborhood pest. This morning while Gilbert was driving along Main street past the Strong home in Earlham Heights, Strong told him to turn about and go some other street. Gilbert states that he informed Strong Main street was a public highway and that he did not have to turn back. He then got out of his rig and Strong burled stones at him. Gilbert hit Strong in the head breaking a bone in his hand in doing so, then continued on his way. Gilbert Informed Prosecutor Jessup that Strong was a bad man. He said Strong made himself obnoxious to hts neighbors by quarreling and cursing and that he had been known to whip his wife. Officer Lambert3on who is a brother-in-law of Gilbert, states that Strong is a "wild Indian." Strong's case will be heard in the city court tomorrow morning. POSTAL SALES LARGE.

The old Sixth street bridge was a suspension bridge, and In connection therewith a story used to be told. Er erybody knows that soldiers in crossing a suspension bridge must break step and bands are not allowed to play marches because of the cumulative force of the vibrations, which are apt to either destroy the bridge completely or crystallize tbe iron cables. Now, sound is vibration, and this explanation, not very scientifically put here, is tbe basis of the story, remembering that every object Is supposed to have a keynote, which when struck on a mu steal instrument evokes responsive vi brations in the said object, The story goes that many years ago n old man carrying a fiddle in a case nee started across the bridge without paying toll. He was called back by the tollfceeper, protested his Inability to pay, but was not allowed to cross. Threatening vengeance, the old fiddler seated himself on the wharf under the Allegheny end of the bridge and began to scrape away on his fiddle for hours, apparently trying all sorts of notes. half notes and combinations of notes and chords. Suddenly he seemed to find what he sought for. for his face lighted up, and he began to scrape steadily on a certain chord. A moan went through the bridge. Faster played the old man, and the wire cables fairly sang In response to the wild notes of the fiddle. Furiously the old fiddle scraped away, and the cables beican to vibrate, slowly at first, the vibrations growing stronger and stronger as the keynote sounded on the violin. The bridge began to tremble, then to away. By this time the tollkeepers saw omethlng was up, for the pedestrians on the bridge began to run, drivers whipped up their horses and men and women with blanched faces declined to set foot on either end of the structure. A messenger (there were no telephones then) was dispatched for the superintendent, and he came running. The old fiddler was pointed out, and a constable was ordered to arrest him but, there being no suspicious person law then In existence, the officer shook his head. The bridge was cutting up all sorts of capers, swaying back and forth like a swing, until at last the su perintendent la desperation ran to the fiddler and promised never to demand toll from him. An agreement was en tered into, the fiddler pledging to keep secret to his dying day the keynote, so that no revengeful musician ever again could place the structure in Jeopardy without studying out the keynote him self . rittabuxg Gazette,

They Haven't Changed Any In thm Laat Thouaand Years. There is one corner in the world where the fashions of .the people have remained the same for the last thou sand years. The Lapp lady is not con cerned about the latest toque from Paris nor is she subject to that soul harrowing experience, the bargain counter crush. However, she may properly lay claim to having been the original bloomer girl, for the nether garment worn by her today is of the same design as that worn by her ancestors of a thousand years ago. The summer garment of tbe Laplander Is usually of coarse woolen goods and has something the cut of a shirt with a high collar. Amongthe sea Lapps it is for the most part undyed. Among the other Lapps usually blue, sometimes green or brown and even black 6mock frocks have been seen. Round the waistbands, along the seam in the back and on the edges this smock is ornamented with strips of red and yellow cloth. Under this garment is a similar one, either plain or figured, worn next to the body, for the Lapp never wears linen underclothing. The trousers are of white woolen goods, rather narrow and reaching to the ankles, where they are tied inside the shoes with long slender shoestrings. Over these drawers are usually worn leggings of thin, tanned skins, reaching from the ankles to the knees. Stockings the Lapp never wears. He fills the upper carving tip of his shoes with a sort of gross, which is gathered In summer and beaten to make it soft and pliable. The winter costume only differs from that worn in summer in that every piece is made of reindeer Bkln with the hair on. The dress of the women differs very slightly from that worn by the men. The smock Is somewhat longer and Is made without the big standing collar, Instead of whien a kerchief or cap Is worn about the neck. To the woven and often silver ornamented girdle hang a knife, scissors, key, needle and thread. The head covering is not only different in the two sexes, but also differs according to the locality. INDIAN PROVERBS. The coward shoots with shut eyes. Small things talk loud to the Indian's eye. The paleface's arm is longer than his word. When a fox walks lame old rabbit jumps. A squaw's tongue runs faster than the wind's legs. There is nothing so eloquent aa a rattlesnake's tail. The Indian scalps his enemy; the paleface skins his friends. Before the paleface came there wai no poison In the Indian's corn. There will be hungry palefaces so long as there is any Indian land to swallow. When a man prays one day and steals six the Great Spirit thunders and the evil one laughs. There are three things it takes a strong man to hold a young warrior, a wild horse and a handsome squaw.

MAKING MILLIONS

Emergency Currency Notes Rapidly Being Finished By Government. TO BE USED IN EMERGENCY. Washington, Aug. 3 The treasury officials are making satisfactory progress in getting out emergency notes under the circulation act passed at the last session of congress. Acting Secretary Coolldge said that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, under the direction of Superintendent Ralph, is delivering to the treasury from ?2,000,000 to 13,500,000 of the new currency daily and that ny the middle of September fully $100,000,000 would be ready for delivery to the banks on call. It is expected that by the time Congress meets in December the whole $50,000,000 authorized will be printed and ready for distribution. THE COOKBOOK. When soaking beans a tiny pinch of soda in the water will be an Improvement It Is better to steam green cabbage, Aullflower apd the like. A sprinkling of salt should be applied to the vegetables before they are put into the steamer. To keep soup let it remain covered with a coating of fat, as this excludes the air and helps to preserve the stock. If tbe soup has no fat use clarified dripping for this purpose. Bread which has been cut In slices and then allowed to become stale may be freshened by folding the slices in a napkin, putting them In the napkin into a paper bag and placing the bag in a hot oven for a quarter of an hour. If a cake falls in tbe center the opening of the oven door and the consequent rush of cold air may account for It, too much baking powder may have been used or the mixing may be at fault. Never slam or bang the oven door when a cake is Inside. Snowahoea For Marahea. The largest extent of marsh land in the world is to be found in the lowlands which form part of the steppe of Baraba, between the rivers Intish and Obi, in Asiatic Russia. The region is flat and covered with forests, salt lakes and quivering marshes, extending over an area which is not less than 100,000 square miles. During the summer dense clouds of mosquitoes float over the treacherous ground. Immense areas of these dreaded urmans have never been visited by man. The marshes, treacherously concealed under a swaying layer of grassy vegetation, can only be crossed by means of a kind of snowshoe In winter except at the peril of one's life. Tho Drunkard's Cloak. In tbe time of the commonwealth in England the magistrates of Newcastle-upon-Tyne punished drunkards by making them carry a tub called the drunkard's cloak. This tub was worn bottom upward, there being a hole at tbe bottom for tbe head and two smaller boles In the sides for tbe bands to pass through, and thus ridiculous!; attired the delinquent was made to walk through the streets of the town for as long a time as the magistrates thought proper to order, according to the grossness of the offense. Soft Soap. "Tes, dear," said the petted young wife,, examining her birthday gift, "these diamond earrings are pretty, but the stones are awfully small." "Of course, my dear," replied the diplomatic husband, "but if they were any larger they'd be all out of proportion to the sire of your ears." Washington Star. Not on the Platform. "Gents," said the trolley car con ductor, "you mustn't stand on the back platform. Yer bTeakln' the rules." "Some of 'em ain't," piped up the lit tle man. "They're standln' on my feet.' Catholic Standard and Times. Tbe CIiHnte'oi a Word. A remarkable instance of verbal degradation is the word "slave." Its original, the Russian "slava," meant glorious, being etymologicahy akin to the English word "glory," and was proudly taken as their name by the Slavonic people. But when the Germans reduced hosts of tbe Slavs to servitude their name, from malice or accident, as Gibbon says, became synonymous with "servile." It retains no more suggestion of its racial origin now than does ogre," which Is really , "Hun garian," from a confusion of the Magyars with the Huns, and of both with the terrible Tartars.

TAFT ASSURED OF WEST VIRGINIA

Action of Democrats Is Responsible. Charleston, W. Va., Aug. 3. republican leaders of West Virginia are rejoicing at the action of the Democratic State Convention in incorporating in the state platform a negro disfranchisement plank and demanding Jim Crow cars on the railroads. They say that it removes all question of Judge Taft's ability to carry West Virginia, assures him the Electoral vote of the state and brings the colored voters of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois Into line for the Republican nominee for President. UNION TO MEET. The Men's Union of the First Chris tian church will meet Wednesday evening, August twelfth in the church auditorium. The program for this session which has not been arranged for as yet will be announced later. OVER THE PRECIPICE. A Tragic Adventare la a Bllsaard la the Aatarctle. Here is an adventure in the antarctic regions taken from Captain Robert F. Scott's "The Voyage of the Discovery." Nine men are returning from a sledge expedition in a blinding snowstorm: "An unusually violent squall prevented us from seeing even one another. I immediately ordered a chain to be formed at right angles and extending across our track, each man keeping in touch with the rest, with the idea of intercepting Hare, who was missing, when he came on. We shouted and blew whistles, and while this was going on Evans stepped back on to a patch of bare, smooth ice and shot out of sight Immediately. Thinking the slope to be one of the short ones so common in the folds of the hills, Barne sat down and deliberately started to slide in Evans' track. In a moment or two the slope grew steeper, and soon he was going at a pace which left him no power to control his movements. He whipped out his clasp knife and dug it into the Ice, but the blade snapped off short and failed to check bis wild career. In a flash the Ice changed to snow, which grew softer until, in a smother of flying particles, his rapid flight was arrested and he stood up to find Evans within a few feet of him." A third man joined them in similar fashion: "Realising the impossibility of ascending again by the way they had come, they started to descend, but within four paces of the place at which they had been brought to rest they found that the slope ended suddenly in a steep precipice, beyond which they could see nothing but the clouds of whirling snow. Even as they recoiled from this new danger and dimly realized the merciful patch of soft snow which had saved them from It, a yelping dog flew past them, clawing madly at the Icy slope, and disappeared forever into the gloom beyond." The six others eventually moved on until they, too, found themselves on an awkward slope: "Their leader suddenly saw the precipice beneath his feet and far below, through the wreathing snow, tho sea. "Another step would have taken hlro over the edge. He sprang back with" a cry of warning, and those behind him, hearing it, dug their heels instinctively into the surface, and, with one exception, all succeeded In stopping. What foHowed was over in an instant. Before his horror stricken companions had time to think poor Vlnce, unable to check himself with his soft fur boots, had shot from among them, flashed past the leader and disappeared." Vinee was never-seen again, but Hare, the first missing man, staggered back to the ship two days after the others, remembering nothing between struggling to a patch of rock for shelter and waking thirty-six hours later covered with snow. ; THE MAN ON FOOT. la Stamboal He Haa No Rlarhta aa Aarataat tho Horaemaa. One of the peculiarities in Stamboul Is the insolent demeanor of the horseman to the footman. Many times daily you wiM see some rascal of a cabman trying to drive down a well dressed man on the street. Tbe drivers rarely take the trouble to shout as they approach pedestrians. I was often filled with wonder at observing the meekness with which well dressed Turks on foot submitted to such treatment from shabby Turks on,carrlage boxes. Even when no-injury was done to such a pedestrian, he was often bespattered with mud. 8tamboul must be an unpleasant place in which to live. Were cabmen In our country to treat pedestrians so recklessly there would be many cases of assault and battery, and I think some mortality among tbe Jehus, One day I saw a uniformed Turk picking his way across the street, using his saber as a walking stick. A carriage suddenly dashed down on him, and Its driver, after nearly running over him, hurled at him a. volley of what sounded like choice Turkish abuse. The uniformed Turk retorted not. He scraped the mud off his uniform, stuck his saber under his arm and waded ashore. In our country a man with a saber would have used it on the driver's back. By this I do not mean that the Turks are lacking In spirit far from It, but apparently it would seem to be the tfustom of fhe country that the man on foot, as against the man on horseback, has no rights.

807 "TV RUN DOWN BY WAGON AND IS SERIOUSLY RURI Bodkin Has Arm Split and Ear . Cut Off. Economy, Ind., Aug. 3. Segal Bodkin of Carlos City whjlle helping to load wheat out of the barn on his farm, was run down by a wagon and badly and probably fatally hurt. His left arm was split open from his wrist to shoulder and his face badly lacerated. His left ear was also cut off. A deep six inch gash was cut In the side of his head. Mr. Bodkin is a well known farmer of Randolph county and is fifty years old. PREPARING FOR WINTER. The work of putting coal in the Richmond public school buildings has been almost completed. There are always two car loads put into each school and three car loads are sup plied for the high school. Waajaer and Schomana. Wagner, writlrtg in 1840, said of Schumann: "He Is a highly gifted musician, but an impossible man. When I came from Paris I went to see him. I told him f my Parisian experiences, spoke of the state of music in Prance, then of that 'in Germany, spoke of literature and politics, but he remained as good as dumb for nearly an hour. One cannot go on talking quite alone. An impossible man!" Schumann gave an account of this interview, which practically agrees with that of Wagner. "I have seldom met Wagner," he said, "but he is a man of education and spirit. He talks, however, unceasingly, and that one cannot endure for long together." The Term "Prime Minister." "Prime-minister" is one of the many terms in English which seem to have been slang at one time. It was first applied to Sir Robert Walpole, but in a reproachful sense. Feb. 11, 1742, after twenty years' tenure of office, Sir Robert resigned all his employments. "Having invested me," he remarked, "with a kind of mock dignity and styled me prime minister, they impute to me an unpardonable abuse of that chimerical authority which they created and conferred." Such a personage as the prime minister or the premier is not even mentioned In the official table of precedence and Is unknown to the written constitution of Great Britain. Tho Live Sponaje. When the sponge is in the sea alive the inside of the pores Is covered with a soft substance like the white of an egg. This appears to be the flesh of the animal, and currents of water may be seen running into the sponge through the small pores and out of it through the large ones, and it is supposed that while the water is passing through the sponge the nourishment for the support of the animal is extracted from it.

Frankfort, Ind., Aug. 3. The mangled remains of two men were found scattered along the track of the Motion Railroad near here this morning. Papers in their pockets identified them as Charles Bolara and Kanol Knsyzowskl, Russian Jews, on their way to Chicago. OLD ROMAN WAYS. Beaaty Batha, Perfaaaea, Tollefa Craeltr of tho Wonsem. Women of ancient, luxurious Rome used to eat parsley as a mouth cleanser. Honey boiled in wine and aniseed was also a sweetener of the breath, and pastils of myrtle were employed for the same purpose. Silver tongs and knives were employed in caring for the nails. No woman f social eminence cut her own finger nails. Those who had not skilled slave employed barbers. Perfection in thwe respects was one of the thirty beautiw attributed to Helen of Troy. Great pains were bestowed on the feet, for It was considered that the breeding was betrayed by them as easily as by the hands. They were always much in evidence, tbe sandals worn not hiding them. Long, tapering fingers were highly prized. Various kinds of herb deeoctlor.8 were employed to beautify tbe fingers. Pliny gives recipes for removing any undesired substances from the nails. Asses' milk contributed to the whiteness of the women's skin. It was sometimes poured into the bath and the whole body laved In It, and sometimes the bands and face were sponged with it from a silver basin, the soft linen towel completing the process. Tbe hair was delicately scented, and all kinds of washes and burnishers were applied to It. It took many slaves to bring the tresses into the classic bands or high pyramids which were tbe fashion at various times. Perfumes were not only applied to hair, hands, clothes and the person generally, but pervaded tbe rooms, whtch were hung with garlands and decorated with blooms of many kinds. Th dresses of Roman matrons were made brilliant with various processes of pressing and smoothing, machines being employed for the purpose. Though most refined In the duties of the toilet, the women of that day were barbaric In their cruelty. Woe be to the poor slave who failed to follow her mistress command. She was whipped Ly the public flagcllator if she did not fall a prey to tbe personal fury of her mistress, who would hurl at her victim the mirror or anything else at band and would not disdain to pierce her tender flesh with the long, ever ready hairpin If nails, teeth and bands were not sufficientChicago News.
