DIG VIOLATED

State Veterinarian Declares that Law is Not Being Properly Obeyed. FORCE GEATLY HINDERED UNABLE TO COPE WITH THE SITUATION, IT IS 8AID, AND MANY LOADS COME INTO 8TATE WITHOUT EXAMINATION. Indianapolis, March 19. Flagrant violations of the law governing shipping of live stock Into the state without a clean bill of health or notification of the state veterinarian as soon as the shipment is made is going on in many , parts of Indiana, according to the statement of State Veterinarian W. E. Coover, and though some In stances are detected and the shippers made to conform to the law they are but an infinitesimal part of the viola tions.. This condition he declares, Is a menace to public health and to the lives of many animals which are already In the state and are free from diseases. Tuberculosis In cattle Is the greatest danger, and the law provides that all cattle shall be Inspected for tuberculosis, except those brought In as "feeders," which are to be fattened and sold in market. The law allows these to be shipped In without Inspection, provid lng they are not allowed to mingle with other animals. Cannot Cope With Conditions. "There are so many places where stock may be brought In," said Mr. Coover, "that I can not hope to cope with the conditions with my present staff . The only means that I have of detecting unlawful shipments Is through the government Inspectors In some of the larger cities, who notify me In case a shipment is billed to Indiana. Oftentimes then I am unable to find the animals because the shipper gives a fictitious name to the inspector. Thousands of cattle come in every year that I never see or hear about, and the number of detections which I make of law violations are indeed small 1b comparison to the number which occur. If I had four or five men to aid in this work and grab these fellows as they come In with their shipments it would afford much protection against possible disease now. "I am certain many dairy herds of Indiana are being put in danger by the introduction of new stock which is shipped into the state in absolute violation of the law." . .' Use the celebrated GOLD COIN FLOUR. Ask your grocer. EASTER DYES 0. K. Indianapolis, March 19. Easter eggs , and colored candies offered by the shops at this season are not Injurious to health and the dyes used are non poisonous. This is the report of H. E.; Barnard, food and drug commissioner of the State Board of Health, after chemical analysis of samples ' which were taken from the stocks of several stores. An inquiry as to the wholesomeness of the colored sweet meats started the Investigation.. Com missioner Barnard says: f "After analysing several samples I find nothing in them that renders them Injurious at all. They are made of sugar and aniline dyes are used for coloring them. This color is the col or authorized by the food laws. The only way in which children may be harmed by the Easter candies is In mating too much of them." An Unreasonable Fellow. ' '"Oh, it's no fun being engaged to him," she said bitterly. "Why not? asked her dearest friend. "Why, when yon stir up a little quarrel just to drive away the ennui he takes It seriously and keeps yon worried for fear you've really lost him." BALD AT 25 Mr. Armstrong Tells How He Grew Hair in a Short Time. Dear Sirs: "I was told of your great remedy, Parisian Sage, that it would grow hair on bald heads, so I got a bottle and tried it, and it is fine. I am a young man and only 25, and was completely bald on ,the top of my head, and now I have hair one inch long, with the use of only one bottle. I shall certainly keep on using it until I have a good head of hair, which I have no doubt it win bring."

Co American makers of Parisian Sage, wish to state that they do not guar antee Parisian Sage to grow hair on bald heads, because in most cases the hair root is dead. In the case of Mr. Armstrong the hair root was not dead and knowing as we do the astonishing hair growing virtue of Parisian Sage, we see no reason why it should not grow hair on the head of Mr. Armstrong. But we do guarantee Parisian Sage land so does L. H.

Dodge, who is a well known millionaire and club man married Helen Steck, actress and daughter of E: M. Steck, the Pennsylvania coal millionaire, on January 3rd in London. He recently returned to the United States to try to reconcile his family to his marriage and when he failed, he resolved to expatriate himself and familyr so he made a trip to Simsbury, Conn, where he gathered together the contents of his summer home and sailed for Europe.

Soldier? Had Some Fine Bits of Satire, Slan After the tail of Richmond, during the war of the rebellion. Confederate officers held as prisoners expressed a wish to be the guests of a Quartet of Massachusetts ' officers, known throughout the Army of the Potomac as singers of unusual excellence. The "Johnnies" were welcomed, and the quartet sang a number of songs not likely to hurt the feelings of their guests. Then a . wish was expressed by a Confederate general for a sample of war songs, and after the visitors had listened to "Old John Brown," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," etc. one of the Confederates remarked with a sigh, "If we had had your songs we would have licked you." This was an opinion different from that expressed by a Spanish officer, who participated in the battle of Santiago during the Spanish-American war, and who visited the United States after he had been paroled. While inspecting the camp of a New I W-o a . . - "f jungiana regiment at a time wnen many of the soldiers were joining Am the usual camp melodies, they sang with voices so raucous that he was tempted to remark, in the polite Spanish equivalent to American slang, "If your fighting had' been) as bad as your singing is, you'd have been licked."

Still again, while the American officer's were attending the marriage of the daughter of a wealthy Filipino, where there was an extravagant show of wealth, not omitting an orchestra of many pieces, immediately after the ceremony, out of deference to the presence of the officers, "A Hot Time" was again played. Expressive of the Time. However, the American soldier in the Philippines was not without parodies on old popular martial melodies that were expressive of conditions in the islands, and these parodies helped to while away the miseries of march and camp, even if the singing, as expressed by the Spanish officer, was "raucous." Many of these songs, for the first time, have been given publicity by Albert Shelby in Harper's Weekly. If they may be found lacking in the martial spirit of the olden days it will certainly be admitted that they are expressive of situations easily to be imagined. It will be recalled that while Dewey and his fleet lay in the harbor of Manila, awaiting developments, Dewey was much annoyed by the German admiral who made no secret of his sympathy with the Spanish army, and whose naval launches, by . putting across the bay at night almost rendered null and void the -American, blockade. Indeed, the situation became so aggravated that Dewey addressed a note to the admiral, calling for a betterment or else a clearing of ships for action. Expressive of this situation an American officer wrote a parody on . Kipling's "Recessional," calling it the "Accessional, the third and fourth stanzas "Intended for the benefit of the Germans; the third particularly expressive; We've waved on high the Stripes and Stars, With liberty the glad refrain; We've licked in three successive wars Old England, Mexico and Spain; The chip is on our shoulder yet Don't you forget; don't you forget Parody on Old War Song.

While many of the Filipinos were still impressed with, the belief that the noblest thing possible was the killing of an "Americano," and even the women rushed to close quarters and used their last heart beat to give their victims a disemboweling swing of the awful kris or the bolo, the Americans were enjoined to see that no native women were included in the ranks of any Filipino bands upon which it might be necessary to use destructive measures. As the native woman wore the male habiliments, and could scarcely be distinguished when so dressed from her lord and master, it is not difficult to imagine with what joy the American soldier received the command to stop and examine as to sex. One militant son thus summed up the situation: If a lady wearing pantaloons Is swinging wit a knife. Must I stop and cross-examine as ter sex? Air you Datto Mudd, his ownself, ma'am, or air you jest his wife? Kindly answer before I reach your solar plex. If a lady wearing britches is a-hidin in th ditches.

MYSTERIOUS IS

UffhW

Of Wealthy Preble - County Farmer and Foul Play is Feared by Friends. WAS LAST SEEN THURSDAY LITTLE VILLAGE OF GRATIS GREATLY EXCITED BY THE STRANGE AND CONTINUED AB SENCE OF NOAH MULLENDORE. (Palladium Special) Eaton, O.. March 19. Excitement to a degree of intensity reigns in the little village of Gratis, nine miles south east of Eaton, over the mysterious disappearance of Noah Mullendore, a bachelor resident of that place. He has been missing from the home of his brother, Ira Mullendore, since Thursday afternoon, and efforts thus far to locate his whereabouts have proven vain. In view of the fact that he is wealthy, owning a large, fertile farm, and had a sum of money on his person when last seen, the belief that he has met foul play is given some credence. Failing by inquiry among the neigh borhood to ascertain a clue to the missing man, relatives secured a pair of bloodhounds from Dayton Friday evening and started a search. So far the efforts of the dogs have availed nothing. Mullendore had just sold his tobacco crop a few days previous, and the money received by him in payment is accounted for only as being upon his person. The man was apparently in his usual health and was physically strong, but for the past two or three weeks 6howed some signs that tended to lead relatives to believe he was suffering slightly from melancholia. He denied this apparent condition. On the day he disappeared he seemed normal mentally, and no signs were shown by him that might have been construed to mean that he was planning self-destruction. But, however, this suspicion has not been totally abandoned by his friends. Late in the afternoon he remarked to his brother's wife that he would go for a walk to the creek, which flowed nearby the house. From this, a possible inference is that he had suicided by drowning. Th waters have been watched for his body, and if not soon found, the result of the search now being made the bed of the creek will be dragged. First European Railway. The first carriages that ran on rails in Europe were those of a horse railway between Llna and Budwela, in Austria. This waa In working order in 1S27. Locomotive railways were much longer coming. The first line, in a modern sense, was opened from Paris to St Germsia in 1835. but railway development waa greatly hindered by a terrible accident on the ParisVersailles line in 1842. The next was the Brussels-Mallnes line in Belgium. Belgium was also the first country to begin, in 1830. systematic plans for a national network of railways. Prussia followed in 1835 and Austria-Hungary In 1888. The first great trunk line in Europe was from Paris to Rouen, opened in May. 1843. Sounded Like a Reproof.'

COLOSSALARCTURUS Ths Fourth Brightest Star In AH the Heavens.

IN REALITY A MONSTER SUN. It Is Thought to Be at Least a Hundred Times Larger Than Our Sun In Diameter and Is About Nino Hundred and Fifty Million Mile Diotant. - Moat of ns are prone to think of oar sun ss being the largest body in the heavens, tbe grand high lord of all the little planets and the twinkling stars. Such is very far from being tbe case. Practically all of the fixed and twin kling stars are as large as, aud some even larger than, our own sun. They appear small only because of their great distance, for they are Just as truly suns with families of planets flying around them as is our central orb. There Is one of these stars in particular that has attracted tbe attention of astronomers, not only on account of its great size, but also its enormous distance from our solar system. This Is the star Arcturus. To have some conception of the almost Inconceivable distance that separates it from us tbe astrouomical standard of measuring distance must be comprehended. Now, light does not come from a luminous body instantaneously to our eyes. It takes time to come, because it is a wave motion in a medium. Tbe velocity of light as most recently determined is about 186.000 miles a second. Multiply this by the number of seconds In a year and we hare a distance known in astronomy as a light year. Therefore when a star is, say, six trillion miles away we say it is one light year off, which means that tbe light from the star takes one year to reach us. It may be of some Interest to know that there is no fixed star less than ten light years away, or sixty trillion miles. This is tbe one known as Alpha Centaurt. Most of the stars are much farther even than that, Arcturus being tbe farthest one measured to date. Arcturus is thought to be at least a hundred times larger than the sun in diameter. That would make it 10,000 times larger in surface, or the dimension that Is ordinarily compared. By means of the photometer its brightness has been determined to be G.200 times that of tbe sun. It is tbe fourth brightest star in all the heavens, Sirius. the dog star, being first In brightness. As regards tbe distance from us. it has been found to be a little over 100 light years, or 050 trillion miles. This distance, of course, cannot be conceived by mortal man, it is so stupendous and amazing. However, one can get a slight idea of it by means of an everyday analogy. Think of the fastest express train going at the rate of 100 miles an hour toward such a star and compute tbe time It would take. It is found to be in round numbers exactly 120,000.000 years! Now, as we know that it has taken Its light so long to come to ns snd ss there are a great many stars whose distance has never been measured exactly, but which have been computed to be approximately several million light years away, we have absolute proof of the great age of the world and the stellar universe. The elements composing the sun Arcturus are, peculiarly enough, very nearly the same as our sun. As it is one of the uiost wonderful and astounding things that a scientist can tell what a star so far away is composed of, a small explanation of the modus operandi would not come amiss here. It is done by means of a small instrument known ss the. spectroscope, which consists of glass prisms so arranged as to split up tbe light falling on them into its constituent parts. Now, every substance has the power to cause a certain color or line in the spectroscope if it Is in a luminous condition, so this instrument is simply pointed at tbe star whose composition is sought, and if any line is found that corresponds to a substance that we know about we assume that this substance is found in tbe star examined. Another interesting thing is tbe method pursued in determining tbe great distance of the stars. This is done by determining their parallax or angle made at tbe a tar between two raya from the star striking at two differ ent points in space. As the greatest distance that we can measure off in this way and still taie the angle Is the diameter of the earth's orbit, that distance is invariably used. It is almost 200,000.000 miles, but that as is seen, is very small compared with ths enormous distance of tbe star. Now, tbe angle thus measured from Arcturus is only two-hundredths of a second! When it Is remembered that there are 00 seconds in a minute, 00 minutes In a degree and 300 degrees In a circle, it 1 at once seen what a (iX?

Indeed, for a tone time, before modern delicately measuring Instruments were u vented, as) star's distance could b fsmnd, for there was seemingly no angle forand. and thus the old scientists had to aaanme the star to bo at infinity.
