A Knight, the celebrated California orator'who was chosen to make the principal seoanding speeoh, on the nomination of Roosevelt, at the late national Republican convention. By unusual good fortune, County Chairman Williams secured him for one of the limited number of epeeehee he will make in this state, this fall.

The surgeon’s knife has been used at Indianapolis to cure an incorrigible and apparently degenerate youth. He was before the city court almost daily and aho fled the most vicious tendencies Hie motht r finally recalled the fact that ibtia or four years before the boy had received a fall and bur his h*ad nud sii examination showed tfcbt tue skull had been injured. H • was th refore subjected to an operation and three small pieoes of depressed bone removed from the skull. The result proved to be remarkably satisfactory The entire disposition of the boy seems to have undargone a change and he it- now as tractable and cherubic as the best of boys and shows a disposition to study, learning rapidly. Poultry raisers say that while there will be a good crop of turkeys this year, the price will be high This has been a good summer for the birds on account of the absence of hard rams. Many of the young b ids died however on account of the 00 d nights. Chickens continue high in price and at this late time in the season there is no prospect- of eggs being any cheaper,
