PAGE EIGHT BIG DAMAGES tflE ASKED FOB II LAD ROCKY BOYS ARE Overfeeding and Poor Ventilation Chief Cause of Colds, Says Hurty III GREATEST WOE

$10,000 Is Desired for Injuries Sustained by Orviiie Webb.

WAS HURT ON RAILROAD WHILE LIVING AT BLOOMINGTON, IT 18 ALLEGED,' HE WAS RUN DOWN BY A TRAIN AND LOST A FOOT. Byrara C. Robbing, of the legal firm of Bobbins & Robbing, filed suit for 910,000 damages in the Monroe circuit court at Bloomlngton, Ind., yesterday afternoon for Orville D. Webb, the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Webb of this city, against the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville railway company. It is alleged In the complaint that the plaintiff was a resident of Bloomlngton in September, 1008, and that he while crossing the railroad tracks In that city, was struck by one of the company's cars, knocked down and run over, sustaining serious Injuries and the loss of his right foot. It Is asserted that there is a curve in the track at the point where the accident occurred and that It had been the custom for the company to allow freight cars to stand along the siding by the right of way. Owing to the curve It was impossible for young Webb to see whether an en glne was attached to the front end o' the train, but, presuming that it was merely a train of dead cars, he started across the track with the result that he was backed into and severely injured. The case will probably be heard next month. GOES OVER NIAGARA George Maero Commits Suicide at the Falls as the Spectators Look On. RESCUE BODY FROM SPRAY Niagara Falls, N. Y., Oct 21. Within half an hour after he had gone over the American cataract this afternoon two guides at the Cave of the Winds, William Barnett and George Wright, rem ii . m . . tuvereu iu roay ui vteorge xnaero (.or Mavrowcordato), of Milwaukee, a man about forty years old. Never before, bo far as known, under normal conditions, has a body been recovered from the rampart of rocks that front the cataract. ' Maero was seen to enter the water from the north, shore of Lune Island by Joseph Lennox, a hackman, a young bridal couple, fares of his, and Policeman Alexander, of the reservation force. The man first divested himself of his overcoat, light coat, vest and hat and then waded Into the stream. A man about 200 pounds weight. Maero did not lose his footing in the current. The water at that point Is very shallow. So he sat down In the stream, and then, bumping along, on the rocky bottom for about forty feet, plunged over the crest Into the abyss. . Alexander was on Goat Island, too far away to attempt to stop Maero. The bridal couple, horror stricken, watched the man until they saw him borne along In the current and then turned away. Alexander ran to the Cave of the Winds House and informed Barnett and Wright of the suicide. The guides, donning their oil skins and boots, went down the stairs and along the path, watching the boiling waters at the base of the fall. In less than five minutes Macro's body appeared, bobbing on the churning water. It was washed upon a flat rock and held there. Wright and Barnett, with ropes about their waists, clambered down on the rocks, and securing the body with difficulty in the blinding spray, carTied It to the wooden walk that is built over the rocks. Then it was brought to the top of the bank. RIID I GAS LEAKS Two of the most serious gas leaks at the corner of Eighth and Main streets, which the company has been trying to locate for the past several days, nave been discovered. It is said the pipes have been damaged by the electric current from the street and Interurban cars which congest at that point at frequent Intervals during the day. New pipes are being put in around the corner. It is probable that the street car company may be the defendants in a damage suit as a result of the discovery as to the direct cause of the leaks unless a satisfactory settlement can be deckled upon.- Toe water pipes alao may be effected, it is said. A CANDIDATE. Candidates for office this fall will Blaster a little from the time honored custom of kissing the babies, they now present the mothers with rub-a-lac.

They are glad their grocers keep it. Experiments are being made In England and Germany in cultivating the soya bean, which is said to be nearly three times as rich in albuminoids ai cats and wheat.

Indianapolis, Oct. 21. "About that cold." says Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health. In a warning to the public against the ills of the approaching season. "Ju3t observe closely the next time you have a cold and see if it doesn't follow a big feed and close confinement in an unventilated room." "But if you have a cold, what is good for it?" "Syrup of wild cherry, syrup of squills and paregoric mixed together make a good cough medicine. Notice I did not Say it would cure a cold. It's a good medicine. "What is the cure?" "Prevention. Don't overeat, djn't breathe bad air. Tou don't have to overeat, and you don't have to breathe foul air. Live on plain, well cooked, well chewed food, breathe pure air, be temperate, and you will never have a cold, pneumonia or other diseases of the breathing organs. Prevention is right living. The only cure is brought about by a return to right living. "Sickness is due to wrong living. Paregoric relieves, but it doesn't cure green apple colic In the boy. Pepsin and bismuth relieve, but they don't cure indigestion. Is indigestion caused by eating proper food in proper amount in the proper way? Or, is it the result of eating Improper food in an improper amount in an improper way? If the latter is the cause, it must be our large amount of common sense that leads us to do or cathartic pills are good for constipation ; that is, they relieve constipation. But why eat SDices, why eat ham, bacon, highly spiced sausage or other embalmed flesh and constipating foods in such large quantities? Why neglect nature and engender constipation? Is it wisdom that makes constipation?"

A STIFF SENTENCE Springfield Woman Gets Hers For Writing Letter to Local Girl. JAILED FOR SIX MONTHS Nellie Clinger, alias Ada Howard, the Springfield, Ohio, resort keeper, who was arrested by postal authorities on a charge of sending obscene literature through the mails, to an estimable local young girl, plead guilty in the United States court at Cincinnati yesterday. Judge Thompson sentenced Miss Clinger to the Miami, Ohio county jail for a period of six months and fined her $50. She also has to pay the costs of the prosecution. Miss Clinger was arrested several weeks ago.

Steele's MTe Love Her W Liberal Education." The re auric wblcta Steele made In reference, as is generally supposed, to Lady Elizabeth Hastings has often been quoted and almost as often quoted incorrectly. Steele wrote, "Though her mien carries much more Invitation than command, to beheld ' herls an Immediate check to loese behavior; to love her was a liberal education. There are two curious misquotations of this bright and famous sentence, which Thackeray declared to be "the finest compliment to a woman that perhaps ever was offered." One is In the essay on Pope contained to James Russell Lowell's "My Study Win flows." "Was it not la this age." says Mr. Lowell, "tost loose Dick Steele paid to his wife the finest compliment ever paid to woman wbea he said that to know ber was a liberal education T" Here are tyro distinct errors committed by so eareful a writer as Mr. LowelL Yet he Is not alone in this. Arthur Helps in his romance of "Realmah" has (tale tentesce: "Steele also did not til deprtbo, though briefly, the charm offcwfng with a woman whom be creatl? admired when be snld 'that to be. sancb with her was in Itself a Mtoeral 5 education.

Too Busy Planning Wedding, So He Forgot To Get License

Chicago, Oct. 21. The marriage tonight in Christ church, Winnetka, of Miss Winifred Ursula Starr to Attorney Fletcher Dobyns, brings to a happy ending one of the prettiest romances of the year. Fletcher Dobyns was the special United States district attorney in charge of the prosecution of John R. Walsh, while Attorney Merritt Starr, father of the bride to be, was one of the counsel for the defense. So attracted was Attorney Starr with the ability shown by the young government lawyer that he invited him to his home shortly after Walsh was convicted. At the residence Dobyns met the daughter of Walsh's attorney. Friends say it was a case of love at first sight A few months later formal announcement of the engagement of the north shore society girl was made, and arrangements were completed for the big church wedding. Attorney Dobyns, in spite of his legal training, however, forgot to secure the necessary marriage license until late yesterday afternoon.

England's great poet Tennyson war a somewhat groft and formidable mar, whose manner with curious strangerwas by no means gentle and pleasant Once a young woman who had beer Just Introduced to the great man n Freshwater was left alone with bin. on the seashore. She stood In Immense awe of the poet and therefore did not interrupt him as he sat speechless, gazing straight ahead of him at tn sea. The long silence wss broken at last in an astonishing . manner by Tennyson. He was going to opea his Hps and after some lovely; thought, the youn; woman imagined. Instead he opened them and in grnff and gloomy tones gave voice to this remark: Tou creak." The girl started back. In horror. Tennyson added an 'explanation: You creak. ' lour stays creak."

Beveridge's Pet Indian Tribe Appeals to Nation For Food.

BILL DUE TO REAPPEAR WASHINGTON CLAN IS NOW URGING THE INDIANA STATESMAN TO GO WEST AND ASSIST HIS RED CHARGES. Washington, D. C. Oct 21. News of the starvation plight of Rocky Boy's band of Chippewa Indians was received here and reminded the government officials that the time was almost at hand for the appearance of Senator Beveridge's annual attempt to obtain legislation for the relief of this tribe. As soon as co ogress convenes it is expected that the senator will introduce his perennial bill providing for the restoration of lands to Rocky Boy and his followers. The dispatch was received from the government agent at Glasgow, Mont., and stated that the Rocky Boy band was suffering from hunger and might be impelled to commit depredations to obtain food. The war department immediately ordered the commanding officer at Fort Harrison, Mont., to send plenty of supplies to Rocky Boy post haste. Beveridge Long a Defender. Years ago when Albert J. Beveridge was new to the senate his attention was attracted to a bill on the calendar which provided for the relief of "Rocky Boy's band of native-born, wandering American Indians." The suggestion of romance in the title of the bill caused the young Indiana statesman to institute an Investigation. He found that Rocky Boy and his hundred or more adherents were in the habit of leaving the reservation on long hunts and that when an allotment of the Chippewa lands was made, Rocky Boy and his braves were not present to substantiate their claim to share in the division. So the land which the Rocky Boys might have possessed was handed over to their fellow tribesmen. When Rocky Boy got back to the reservation and found out what had happened he and his followers indulged In several appropriate dances and then took counsel, which resulted in the introduction of a bill to restore their property rights to them. Who ever introduced the bill in congress must have forgotten about it. At any rate, it was in a way of dying a natural death when Beveridge discovered its existence. He urged its passage, but was unsuccessful. Introduces Bill After Bill. After that he became the sponsor for Rocky Boy and his unfortunate braves, and at the beginning of each congress reintroduced the bill for their relief. It was the regular thing on the calendar days in the senate for the senior senator from Indiana to rise and request that justice be done to the Rocky boys. Senator Beveridge's humanitarian efforts attracted attention in Washington. As an outcome of this attention Mr. Beveridge gave a dinner in honor of his sympathetic friends, and about the time the coffee was served a new Rocky Boy band of native born, wandering American Indians was formed. Senator was given the title of "Rocky Boy," and by that name he is known to the members of the organization. Others of the band are George Ade, Samuel G. Blythe, and John T. McCutcheon, who are known respectively as "Heap Wampum," "Jumping Buffalo" and "Man-Who-Talks-With-Chalk." Members of the Washington band telegraphed to Senator Beveridge last night urging that he go to Montana and give a dinner to the real Rocky Boy and his red skinned companions. HOME CURE FOR CATARRH SUFFERERS A Simple Remedy That Gives Relief From a Common Ailment. (From the Guttenberg Press.) Willie there are a great many people who suffer from catarrh of the nose and throat all the time, this common ailment is more prevalent in Fall and Winter than at any other season of the year. Catarrh, is an inflammation of the delicate membranes and is brought on by sudden changes in the weather, breathing very cold air or dust, getting the feet wet etc. Prof. Von Sternberg, a German specialist who has had unusual success in the treatment of nasal and throat diseases, recommends a solution of water and vlntox. Get from your druggist an original package (2 ounces) of vintox and dissolve it in a pint of water. This should be snuffed up the nose once, or twice daily when suffering, from "cold in the head," or from chronic catarrh. When the throat or larynx is - affected It should be used as a gargle. Vlntox soothes and heals the inflammation and clears the passages.
