CAMPAIGN

LARGER COUNTIES PLAN OF LEAGUE In Smaller Counties Strong Law Enforcement Forces Will Be Established, Is Announcement Made. WILL NOT BUTT INTO THE CITY CAMPAIGNS A Defeat From Such Sources Would Be a Hard Blow to The Anti-saloon Organization in Indiana. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Oct. 11. According to a statement made here by the Indiana Anti-Saloon League officers, no attempt is to be made to organize the law enforcement forces in the counties containing the large cities, such as Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend. Bvansvllle and Terre Haute, but efforts will be made to effect strong organizations in the smaller counties of the state without delay. It was thought for a while that the fact that city elections are to be held this fall might delay the work of organizing the law enforcement people throughout the entire state, but the league officers have concluded that the work can safely go ahead in all of the counties except the few in which the large cities are situated. To Leave Them Alone. The league does not wish to inject its fight into the city campaigns in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend and other large cities this fall, because these cities are now wet and if the anti-saloon people should go into the fight and lose it would mean a hard blow to their hope of ever making those counties dry. So they have decided to wait In those counties until after the city election to begin their fight for law enforcement. In the smaller counties, however, the league proposes to go right ahead and make organizatfons as large and as close as possible, the purpose being to give encouragement to the officials of the counties in the direction of compelling saloons and illegal liquor sell ers to obey the laws. To Support Officials. "I have no doubt there are many public officials in the state who would make an honest effort to enforce the laws if they could feel that there was behind them an organization that would give them the proper support,'' said one anti-saloon league man, in discussing the plan of organization. "We propose to organize and bring about conditions that will make the officer feel that he has behind him the support of an organization that can and will do things. Then if an officer fails to do his duty in this direction we will know why." The work of organization for law enforcement Is to be carried on more vigorously in the dry counties than in the wet counties, because the league believes the people in the dry counties should be shown that when they voted dry. it meant dry. In other words, the league wants the people to feel that when they voted out the licensed saloon they did not vote in the blind tiger and other illegal liquor selling places. Evils Are Recognized. The league realizes the fact that illegal liquor selling has sprung up in many counties which voted dry at local option elections, and that it is the duty of the local authorities to suppress this business. It is the belief cf the league that if it can organize the law enforcement leagues In such counties anti have it cooperate with the officials in showing up the law violations it will make the liquor business bo unpopular that it can never be reestablished In the dry counties. The league believes that the liquor business will hang itself in such territory if given the proper amount of rope and It proposes to supply the rope. On the other hand, the brewers are of the opinion that if the people see that blind tigers creep into counties that have voted out the saloons, they will conclude that they would rather have saloons than blind tigers, and that, since the illegal liquor traffic has come in, they will put it out anil vote to return the licensed saloon. Lavender. Bow many of those who delight in the odor of fresh sweet lavender ever think how the plant came by its soothing name? Back he must go In imagination to the clean old Romans and their cult of the bath. Lavender found high favor with them to perfume their batbs. and it was they who called it lavandula, the root of tbe name being the Latin la rare to wash. In olden days, too. lavender leaves were an important ingredient in tbe making of precious spikenard ointment. Although we regard lavender as so peculiarly English a plant, owing to its extensive cultivation In the home counties and Its associations with our English bomes and gardens. It was not as a matter of tact, introduced to this country until the sixteenth century, when it came from France with tbe Huguenot settlers. The Romans did not apparently bring it to us wben they gave us out fine roads.- Westminster Gazette. VVny u rained Him. "Am 1 tbe first girl you ever loved r Tour question pains me.? Forgive me." "Yes. I had flattered myself that there was nothing amateurish about my lovemaking."-Louisville Courier-Journal.

CATCH HORSE THIEF Greensfprk Young Man Was Placed Under Arrest at Keystone, Ind. HE DECLARES INNOCENCE

Arthur Cruse, who hired a horse and buggy of Beech McMullen, the Greensfork liveryman, last Wednesday evening to visit his girl, living a mile and a half from Greensfork, but instead, drove to Keystone, Ind., was apprehended Saturday night and placed under arrest. He was returned to this city yesterday by Sheriff Meredith and placed in the county jail, to answer a charge of horse theft. Cruse is but twenty years old and says that he had no intention of stealing the horse and buggy but intended to visit relatives in Keystone. The horse, which before taking the seventy-five mile drive was considered a good animal, is now virtually ruined and will be left at Keystone for several days by Mr. McMullen, in order that it may rest up. Its ultimate recovery is considered doubtful. Cruse, when apprehended, said he Intended driving the horse back after a few days visit with relatives. Mr. McMullen, the owner of the horse and rig, went to Keystone and arranged with Sheriff Meredith for Cruse's arrest. Cruse has been working for D. W. Harris, a prominent farmer near Greensfork, for some time.. JOSS PAPER. The Way This Popular Chinese Material Is Manufactured. The principle districts in the Yangtze valley in China in which the manufacture of joss paper is carried on, Soashing. Ningpo. Uangtscbau and Futschau, lie to tbe south of Shanghai. Young bamboo trunks are placed in ditches in layers with a covering of lime between them. Tbe ditches are sometimes as large as thirty feet wide and ninety feet long. Water is poured over the mass and the contents allowed to remain until the trunks have rotted, which sometimes takes as long as three months. After the limewater has been drawn off the mass is placed in a ditcb provided with stirrers, where it is washed. The reduction to fibers takes place in mills drawn by buffaloes. After a second washing the material is ready for tbe mold of tbe papermaker. in China as well as in Japan tbe mold consists of fine bamboo sticks. For this reason the paper is always ribbed. The product is squeezed in wedge presses, dried on a board and then covered with tin. Tbe pulverized metal is strewn over tbe sheets and hammered between the fibers with hammers of soft wood. Tbe chief difficulty lies In this hammering, and In spite of the thinness of the paper tbe Chinese attain a shining surface of tin. Tbe paper is packed in bales of 3.000 or &200 sheets. QUEER JAPANESE FISH. One That Uses Its Fin as a Sail How the Dorado Is Caught. One of the most interesting of fish of Japanese waters is tbe oriental sail fish (Hlstlopborus oiientalis). The generic name, given by Dr. Guenther. means the sail bearer and refers to the huge dorsal fin possessed by the species. The fin stands higher than tbe body above it and is used as a sail before the-wind. It is a large fish, ten feet in length and weighing 160 pounds. They swim about usually in pairs in rough and windy weather, with the huge fins above the water. It is a favorite food fish, and tbe annual catch is nearly 2.000,000 pounds. The sail fish is caught by means of a harpoon. Another food fish, known as a dolphin or dorado, is sometimes caught in a curious way. Tbe fishes congregate under a decoy bush and raft made of bamboos and are then caught by hooks baited with squids, or tbe decoy busb is surrounded by a seine net. and the dolphins are driven by boating tbe surface of tbe water with sticks. This fish Is eaten both fresh and salt and is as great a favorite in western Japan as the salmon is in the northeast. Zoolovtfit

ROOSEVELT TO BE HEXT PRESIDENT

Ex-governor St. John of Kansas, Makes Two Predictions to Press. WASHINGTON TO GO "DRY PROHIBITIONIST WORKER SAYS THAT THE EX-PRESIDENT IS THE CLEVEREST POLITICIAN IN UNITED STATES. Spokane, Wash., Oct 11, John P. St. John, formerly governor of Kansas, who has come to Spokane to begin the fight for prohibition in the state of Washington, made two predictions in the course of an interview: "Nothing except his death will prevent the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt to succeed President Taft, and if he is not elected no other republican can be. "Ten years hence there won't be a legalized saloon within the boundaries of this commonwealth. Spokane will be 'dry' in five years from this time. ' Mr. St. John said among other things in speaking of Roosevelt and Taft: Taft Is "Putty Man." "Theodore Roosevelt is the sharpest politician in the United States. But for him Mr. Taft never would havs been thought of for the presidency, i Roosevelt knew Taft, believed him to be an honest man and so do I, but he knew that Taft is a putty man, soft putty at that. Roosevelt helped to elect Taft. He knew that his administration would be a failure. "Roosevelt went off to Africa. H3 is not mixed up in any of the questions before the people today. In the course of eighteen months he will return, covered with rhino hides, elephant tusks and glory. The 'howl and yell' element in politics will raise the cry for Roosevelt. The country will go 'wild' over him. Nothing except his death will prevent his nomination to succeed Taft, and if he is not elected it will be because no republican could win." A LAM EL STORY. Foiled In Its Revenge, the Animal Committed Suicide. Some years ago it chanced that a valuable camel working in an old mill In Africa was severely beaten by its driver, who. perceiving that tbe camel had treasured up the injury and was only waiting a favorable opportunity for revenge, kept a strict watch upon the animal. Time passed away. Tbe camel, perceiving that it was watched, was quiet and obedient, and tbe driver began to think that the beating was forgotten. One night after a lapse of several months tbe m:in, who slept on a raised platform in the mill, while, as is customary, the camel was stalled in a corner, happening to remain awake, observed by tbe bright moonlight that when all was quiet the animal looked cautiously around, rose softly and.' stealing over toward a spot where a bundle of clothes and a burnoose, thrown carelessly on tbe ground, resembled a Bleeping figure, cast itself with violence upon them, rolling with all its weight and tearing them most viciously with its teeth. Satisfied that its revenge was complete, tbe camel was returning to its corner when tbe driver sat up and spoke. At the sound of his voice and perceiving the mistake it had made the animal was so mortified at the failure and discovery of its scheme that it dashed Its head against the wall and died on tbe sppt. Sheffield Telegraph. EXCUSE 3 JURYMEN The members of the regular petit jury, October term, including Isaac T. Ryan of Boston township, Frank W. Wallace of Washington township and Charles A. Mendenhall of Perry township were excused this morning, by Judge Fox. The places of these three men will not be filled until tomorrow morning. The three men were excused because duties demanded their attention at their homes. v w ; g? a. a fcI I I I 1 III l 1 W . 4 3 t '

ON BREAD QUESTION The grocerymen and the bakers meet this evening at the Commercial club rooms, to consider the bread question. Grocers expect that some compromise will be reached with the bakers whereby they will pay less for bread at wholesale. The dealers are now paying 4 cents a loaf to the bakers while tbe former rate was three and a half cents per loaf. Providing the old rate is made effective again, the grocerymen will sell bread at six loaves for a quarter. DEDICATE A SCHOOL The dedication of the Middleborough school was held today with exercises at the school building, north of the city The school will open tomorrow for regular work. County Superintendent C. W.

THE SANCI DIAMOND. IU Course Since the Time Queen Elisabeth Bought It. Elizabeth of England purchased the famous Sand diamond wben De Sanci. extravagant and splendid, was low in purse. Wben Charles became king and sent Ituckinghnm to Purls to bring back bis bride, Henrietta, the messenger wore tbe Sanci. Charles quarreled with his queen. Henrietta, and with his parliament, and not long afterward Cromwell asked for his bead. Henrietta jrnve tbe diamond to tbe Earl of Worcester. Worcester probably gave it back to tbe Stuarts, for whom he ruined himself, for it descended to James II. James' disastrous reign cost him tbe crown, but be kept tbe Sanci. That and other Jewels which be took away with him supported various Stuart pretenders. This particular one was sold to Louis X1Y. of France for $125.000. Stolen with other Jewels in 1792, the Sanci disappeared for thirty-six years. A Jeweler came by it. and Prince Demidoff purchased it for his wife. Twenty years later she let it go to JamsetJee Jeejeeboy, a rich merchant of Bombay. Again it appeared at a Paris Jeweler's shop and was sold to tbe maharajab of Puttilala. He. too. came upon bard times. It was from a London Jeweler that William Waldorf Astor bought It for bis son's bride. Franklin Clarkin in Everybody's Magazine. THE SPIDER. It Differs From an Insect In Five Main Particulars. The spider Is not an Insect, though probably nine people out of ten would class it under this term. With scorpions and mites spiders form a class In the animal kingdom known as arachnids. This name is derived from a mythical personage called Aracbne. the daughter of a purple dyer of Lydla. who was fabled to have challenged Minerva to a trial of skill in spinning. So indignant was the goddess at this act of boldness that she forthwith transformed tbe hapless challenger Into a spider, presumably In order that she might have tbe best possible opportunity of practicing tbe art on which she prided herself so much. Spiders differ from insects in five main particulars. Tbeir eyes are simple Instead of compound, tbey have eight legs in place of six. tbey do not pass through tbe metamorphoses which are characteristic of insects, they have no antennae and tbeir breathing is accomplished by means of organs which combine tbe functions of lungs and gills instead of by tubes pervading their bodies. These points of distinction are sufficient to determine tbe fact tbnt it is impossible to class spiders as insects. The -Picket." Tbe picket was generally Inflicted on cavalry and artillery meu and was a singularly brutal bit of torture. A long post near which stood a stool, was driven into the ground. Tbe delinquent was ordered to mount tbe stool, and bis right band was fastened to a book in tbe post by a noose, drawn up as higb as it could be stretched, round bis wrist. A stump tbe belgbt of the stool, with its end cat to a round and blunt point, was also driven into tbe earth close to tbe post. Tben the stool was taken away, and tbe sufferer had nothing to rest bis bare feet upon but tbe stump, -which, though it did not usually break the skin." says Captain Grose, "put bim in great torture, bis only means of relief being by resting bis weight on his wrist, tbe pain of which soon became intolerable." One can very well believe bim. especially when he makes tbe addition that a man was not infrequently left to stand in this position for half an hour, although tbe orthodox period of endurance was fifteen minutes.
