IRONING DAY BUSY DAY ATJHE PLANT Electric Irons of Housewives Require . Additional Engine to Supply Load.

The housewives of the city, who on Tuesdays get out their ironing boards, place the week's washing on the table and pass their electric irons' back and forth over the linen do not realize that this makes it necessary for a small engine at the city light plant to be put in operation to help the big engine carry the extra load.; 'This extra load is great enough to supply the current for 160 arc lamps. - An inspection trip of the light plant this morning disclosed some other interesting facts. The new steam engine, purchased last August, and put into service about August 11, has run continuously since Ujen f-v-pt for a very few days when it was stopped to be cleaned On one occasion this engine ran for fortyeight consecutive days and nights. The engine was purchased from the Mamilton Corliss Kngine company of Hamilton Ohio, and la in excellent condition. It will run, experts testify, for at least twenty-five years If taken care of aa it 1b now. Tnglneer Howard Gluys keeps the big machine polished like cut glass or fine silverware for it is the pride of his heart. The Jones automatic stokers re- ' f ntly installed are working excellently. They are money, coal and labor tavtrs, and Supt. Johnson says he vculd not go back to the old system 1 f firing. The firemen throw the coal into Ehutes, where it is fed into the fire from the bottom. A big fan suprlies the blast. Several times a day, the firemen pull the clinkers from the f're. this taking about one hour's work. The improvement of Johnson street i earnestly desired by Supt. John- ; -n. The read leading down the hill r-xzt the crematory to the light plant, - ashes out with each rain, and is in c'eplcrable condition. A small amount vould meet the expense of removing the cinders and have cobblestones substituted. This Is one of the rerairs which may be made by the city next year. White the city is taking legal steps to stop the growing of weeds on vacant lota about the city, weeds are allowed to grow rampant in the creek bottom below the light plant. The loyalty of the light plant employes, who freely give of their time and labor to beautify the grounds about the plant is commendable and the small park surrounding the plant is a garden . gem, but the weeds west-xt the plant spoil ita effect. ;: .". . , P. J. FREE ATTACKED AT COURT HOUSE This afternoon Attorney Perry J. Freeman was assaulted and considerably bruised in the hallway just outtide the circuit court room by Ed. McConlough, following an order given by the court that McConlough should pay his wife, Mary,' $30 a month. Mrs. TIcConlough had sued for support and rfter hearing the evidence the court decided she was entitled to it. "I guess I'll have to go to jail. I can't pay that amount," Bald McConlcvgh ns the ctttsrueys, principals and tnerpeF in the casa were leaving the court room. , "You won't have to go to jail for that- thing" shouted his sister MagHe, pointing scornfully at Mrs. McConlough, This remark apparently areuset! McConlough and he made a daah fer Mr. Freeman, attorney for Mrs. McConlough, who was standing ry the elevator shaft. He flung himself on Freeman and the two men Went to the floor. In falling Mr. Freeman's glasses were broken and his face was cut . in several places. f A deputy sheriff and two reporters threw themselves on McConlough and he was taken into the court room where the court ordered the man removed to jail until he could be arraigned before" him some time tomorrow. Enroute to jail McConlough remarked to Mr. Freeman that he intended to "get him every time we meet." The trial was commenced this monv ing. McConlough was placed on the stand and according to his own testimony he did not have any legal justification in leaving his wife. There were a number of trivial incidents which led to the separation, but none which would excuse McConlough from proyidng reasonable support for his wife, the sourt ruled. They separated June 84. Judge Fox stated that the whole affair wuj an unfortunate affair and the rpupla should never have married. Tbs White Niflhts. June to the month of the "white nights" In the far north.

INDIANA

(National News Association) NEW YORK, Aug. 14. Women's activitiee have come to the fore at the three campaign headquarters in this city. William H. Hotchkiss, state chairman of the Progressive party, said Miss Eleanor Carpenter, now in charge of organizing the women who are offering their services to help elect Col. Roosevelt, had had a stream of callers, letters and telegrams throughout the day. He added that Miss Carpenter received word that the woman suffrage party of Indiana had indorsed the Progressive platform and adopted a resolution to work for the Progressive ticket. The Republican national committee announced the selection of Miss Mabel Boardman as the head of an advisory committee in charge of women's work for the re-election of President Taft.

Practically all Progressive county organizations in Indiana have sent word to State Chairman Edwin M. Lee that they soon will place complete county tickets In the field. "The request of the state central committee that county tickets be placed in the field is meeting with unanimous approval," said Mr. Lee yesterday. "Only in a very few instances is there any hesitancy to adopt this plan, and when the Progressives learn that the Republican candidates are required to take oath of allegiance to the state and national G. O. P. tickets they realize that it will be absolutely impossible for them to stand on two platforms. It Is further realized that a candidate on both tickets will be embarrassed during the entire campaign. The masses can not be urged to support the candidates of one party for local offices and of another for national positions. The people are beginning to see that there should be Progressive tickets from county sheriff to President of the United States." City Statistics Deaths and Funerals. CRAIG Benjamin F.

$3,000,000 BABY BORN INJEW YORK Posthumous Heir of Col. J. J. Astor, aiBoy. Mother in Good Condition.

(National News Association) NEW YORK, Aug. 14 A J3.000.000 ! baby was born at the Astor mansion, j 840 Fifth avenue today at 8:15 a. m. It is a boy and will bear the name of its father, John Jacob Astor, who went down with the Titanic in the greatest marine disaster of modern times. The birth of the child was announced by Dr. Edwin B. Cragin in the fol- ; lowing statement: 'A child was born to Mrs. John i Jacob Astor at 8:15 o'clock this morn ing. It is a boy and its name is John Jacob Astor. The mother is in good condition." By the will of the late John Jacob Astor, this posthumous heir was left $3,000,000. There had been rumors circulated that if the posthumous heir were a boy a contest would be instituted by Col. Astor's widow, Mrs. Madeline Force Astor, to secure greater wealth for her son. This matter will be determined later. Preparations for the arrival of the 1 millionaire baby were made early in the afternoon, when Mr. and Mrs. Force, parents of Mrs. Astor, were summoned to the Fifth avenue mansion but the accouchement 'was delayed for many hours. The child weighed 7 1-2 pounds. Shortly before the birth of the child Mrs. Astor was removed from the room which she had been occupying ever since her arrival in New York to a larger and more commodious one on the second floor of the big mansion. Dr. Cragin has been in constant attendance upon Mrs. Astor since the week before last. In making official announcement of the birth Dr. Cragin said the baby as well aB Mrs. Astor, was in excellent condition. At the same time Dr. Cragin said he did not look for any complications but that he expected the young mother and her baby to continue doing well. There has been considerable fear among the relatives of Mrs. Astor as to the outcome of the accouchement, because of her physical sufferings and mental stress resulting from the disaster to the Titanic on which she was a passenger with her husband. THE SILVER BOWL It Was Full of Water, and It Pusiled the Week End Guest. A rising young politician In New York tells this story on himself. He was invited recently to spend a week end at a country house where things were done a notch or two more elaborately than ,he was accustomed to. and be stood in not a little awe of the solemn person who was assigned to act as temporary valet to him. The climax came when this functionary tapped at hia door on Sunday morning and told him it was 8 o'clock. "All right, I'll get up," said the visitor, and tho solemn man disappeared into the bathroom, from which presently the noise of water running into the bathtub was audible. In half a minute more the solemn person emerged, holding a large silver bowl full of water, with which ho approached the bed. "He mast have seen the astonishment in my face," said the New Yorker. "I couldn't conceal it. It was a wholly new game to me, and I didn't know whether I was expected to dip my head in it or to drink it It was an awful moment, but that man was a diplomat. He realized my embarrassment, and he just let drop in a cold and aloof tone, as if he had outsiders to deal with every day, the simple explanation: "'The temperature of yoar bawth, sir.' "New York Sun. THEATER SEATS'. Very Annoying Indeed It Was Before They Were Numbered. People who nowadays book their seats beforehand for the play cannot conceive of the discomfort of other days, an instance of which Is given by John Fyvle in "Comedy Queens of the Georgian Era." "One of Charles Matthews' newspaper cuttings," he says, "contains a letter from a disgusted playgoer dated January, 1776, protesting against this custom of 'permitting a footman to sit for an act or two of a play next to a woman of the first quality by way of securing a place for his absent master.' "The indecency of the practice is said to be aggravated by the usual choice of the dirtiest servant of the family fop this duty, 'for the men of parade and figure are to prance before the lady's chair with lighted flambeaux or hang like a rope of onions behind ber coach. - "As a remedy for this nuisance the writer of this letter' made the revolutionary suggestion that the sittings in the boxes should be numbered, a plan, which does not seem to have occurred to any one previously and which was not adopted till long afterward."

DRUNK FINE RATES FOR WOMEN BOOZERS A single woman who gets drunk and is arrested is guilty to the amount of $5 and costs, but if a woman is married and has children to care for, her f ne is only $1 and costs. This is the deduction from the mayor's ending in the case of Mollie Johnson, charged with public intoxication in police court this morning.

She said she had had but one glass of beer and was raising a commotion because some children had attempted to steal her wagon.

"At the court of assizes in Venice when sentence of death is about to be passed a man clothed in a long black robe enters the court and, advancing to the bench, bows profoundly to the judges, saying, "Remember the baker!" Then he bows again and retires. Here is the explanation of the custom: Three centuries ago a baker was executed at Venice for a crime of which he was not guilty. When his Innocence was fully proved the judges who condemned him invested a sum of money, the interest on which serves to keep a lamp perpetually lighted in the palace of the doges, this being called the "lamp of expiation.". In addition, their fatal mistake has for 800 years been heal up as a warning to their successors on the bench when they are about to inflict the extreme penalty of the law. The Bex Tortoise. Though the tortoise is slow of foot, it is quick to make the best of all its available modes of defense. The box tortoise possesses a singular defensive apparatus. The plastron or shell covering the under part of the body is so formed that its front segment can be drawn upward to protect the animal's bead, the head meanwhile being drawn back under the carapace or shell on the back of the tortoise. The tipper and under shells then meet in front, forming a kind of bog in which the creature is unassailable. When the danger is passed the reptile relaxes a muscle and the raised part of the plastron falls, silowing the head aid fore feet to come forth. This movable plate is fastened to the plastron by a strong hinge of elastic ligament.

DEFECTIVE SHELL PREVEHTSJURDER Charged that H. Schantz PuJled Gun on George Schweitzer.

Harry Schantz, a big broad-shouldered young grocery keoper of Kairview, vas released on $50 bond this mornins from police court until next Wednesday, when he will be charged wiih carrying concealed weapons. He drew a big revolver and snapped one shell at Georye Schweitzer, a crippled man at the former's store last evening, it is alleged. Schantz claims Schweitzer struck at him with a popbottle after an argument and some vile names were brought into play. Schweitzer's story to th effect that Schantz drew a revolver and pointing it at his head snapped one cartridge, which failed to explode is borne out by witnesses. The cartridge with i the primer dented is muts evidence of the narrow escape from death which Schweitzer experienced. The men were about four feet apart when it is alleged Schantz attempted to shoot Schweitzer. Schants has been in police court before. NORTH END DISPUTE SETTLED IN COURT 43$5" The George McKlnney Lannie Rhodes embroglio last week in the north end was threshed out in police court this morning, and McKlnney was released on the charge of assault and battery.

The trouble ceased for awhile, and then Rhodes appeared on the street with a big avenging sword. McKlnney disappeared. It was shown that Rhodes was the aggressor. All the parties in the case were colored except one man who appeared as a witness. LIVELY 2-YEAR-OLD (National News Association) TIMBER LAKE, S. D., Aug. 14.
