JAM NEGLECTED TO PRESERVE BOOKS iHead of Archives and His-

, tory Department Gives Some Advice.

"Collect and keep everything printed about your own town and county books, newspapers, pamphlets, program, notices and even hand bills" was the advice given to the students of the Summer School for Librarians at Earlham College this morning by Professor Harlow Lindley. The lecture was on "The Preservation and Care of Local Historical Material." Professor Lindley pointed out that Indiana has neglected to preserve local historical material in the past, and that now a better history of the state could be written at Madison, Wis., than at Indianapolis. But if the people of the state, particularly librarians, will co-operate with the new department of archives and history of the state library, of "which Professor Lindley Is the head, amends" for their negligence will . rapidly be made, he said.

ROW WITH HUSBAND

The telephone bell jingled at police headquarters about 9 o'clock last night and Night Desk Sergeant Winters reached for the instrument, Hardly had .he placed the receiver to his ear when a highly excited voice shouted the following Information over the wire to him: "There's a suicide here In South Tenth street park, so send some policemen at once." The night sergeant had just detailed a man on the case when the bell rang again and the same voice, albeit somewhat calmer "countermanded" the request for a squad of patrolmen and said that an ambulance would do better, as the woman had merely fainted. -.Mr. and Mrs. Louis Heager were strolling to their home through the park when an argument was started between the two. The "domestic row" finally became heated and Mrs. Heager swooned. She was removed to her home in the city ambulance.

"If MacVeagh was a Republican we might be able to reach him," wrote Mr. Watson, "but he Is a mugwump and I am not hopeful of final success, ior I swear that I never on earth know what to do with a mugwump, inasmuch as I have no right to kill them." Other letters indicated that Mulhall called on several manufacturers interested in the Danbury hatters strike to have them employ Watson as counsel In the ensuing litigation.

NURSE IS PRAISED BY TWO PATIENTS

Among the patients who were at the Spiceland Sanitarium when it burned down Tuesday morning at ten o'clock were two Richmond people, Miss Ella E. Minter and Mrs. F. A. Brown, who both escaped with trifling losses. In speaking of the occurrence Miss Minter said: "It was a most fortunate unfortunate affair. .When we think that all the occupants of the building escaped without a scratch and their personal belongings in a great many instances were saved, besides most of the furnishings of the sanitarium, we can be thankful that it happened as it did. Had it occurred at night, or in the winter when the place was full of helpless patients, the results might have been very disastrous. "The co-operation of the town people

and their willingness to help wherever

they could, was very wonderful. The business men left their offices and the women left their homes to help us. My belongings were all saved and were not damaged a bit when I got them, although I had to look in a great many places to find them. "There was little or no excitement,

and everything was done quickly, but

without needless confusion. Everyone seemed to know just what to do. In this connection I think that the work of Miss Jennie Taylor should be mentioned. Miss Taylor, the women's nurse and attendant, Is a very capable and business-like woman and she kept the excitement down and managed things in a way that won the admiration of all the patients. She was so calm and cool and seemed to know just what to do." Mrs. Clark's Experience. Mrs. Emma Clark of Economy, Ind., was also at the sanitarium and was taking a treatment at the time when the fire broke out. She said: "We heard a great confusion and running up and down in the hall and then some man ran past the bath-house yelling fire. Miss Taylor, the nurse, told us to remain quiet until she found whether the report was true. She soon returned and said, Yes, the building is on fire, but it is on the other side of the house; you will have time to get your clothes and other belongings from your rooms.' I hurried to my room, seized my clothes which were hanging up, wrapped them in a sheet, and hurried to the top of the stairs where a man took them for me and I went back to pack my suit case. When this was packed, another man was ready to receive it and take it down stairs for me. The town people all were willing to help and I heard many of them say, 'Oh, the poor patients, what will they do.' They seemed to regard us as absolutely helpless and were ready to do anything possible to help."

ASSAULT ON FLOOK IS DEFENSE'S PLAN

The case of the state against Dayton Fertig, ice cream manufacturer, was postponed until Monday by Special City Judge Luther Abbott, after nearly all the evidence in the case had been submitted. Conflicting engagements on the part of the attorneys would not permit their presence at the trial today. The jurymen remonstrated against the case being tried the latter part of the week, when they alleged they would be busy. The testimony of Dr. Harry Holmes, one of the star witnesses for the defense, was challenged yesterday by the state alleging that it was irrevalent. Dr. Holmes is professor of chemistry at Earlham College, who analyzed ice cream manufactured by the defendant. A Conflicting Analysis. The analysis of the cream by Prof. Holmes showed that it contained nine per cent butter fact. The law specifies that the cream must contain eight per cent butter fat and the samples sent to the state laboratories by Dairy Inspector Flook are alleged to have contained less than seven per cent. According to the federal law ice cream must contain fourteen per cent butter fat. The state contended that the testimony of Holmes should not have any bearing on the case as the cream had been analyzed by the state chemist from different samples. The defense alleges that the dairy inspector sent the cream to the state laboratories in an improper manner. Flook has been employed at Bender's ice cream establishment. According to his testimony, on cross-examination, he placed the sample of ice cream, taken from the defendant's establishment, in one of Bender's coolers. This the defense alleges, was an improper action on his part, as Bender is a competitor of the defendant. The defense alleges that there was nothing to prevent employes of the Bender plant from substituting ice cream for that taken from the defendant to be analyzed.

VISITED INFIRMARY

County Agricultural Agent A. D. Cobb visited the poor farm, west of Centerville, to ascertain the condition of the farm and to make recommendations as to how it could be made more nearly self-sustaining, so far as the operating of the farm was concerned. Mr. Cobb stated that the plan of the county commissioners to make the inmates of the jail work on the farm was a good one. "All over the farm there were gardens which are neglected because the manager has been unable to procure farm hands," said Cobb. The work would not necessarily require a knowledge of agriculture and experienced farm hands are not necessary, according to Cobb.
