FOR HOOSIERS. INDIANA STATE BUILDING DEDICATED. Our World's Fair Edifice Opened with Appropriate Exercises—Description of the Building-, Which Is Large and Home, tike, and Does Credit to the State. Great Crowd Present. Indiana’s magnificent World’s Fair building was dedicated Thursday by Gov. Matthews and several thousand

other Indianians more or less famous. There were so many folks from the Hoosier State in the Fair grounds when the exercises began that nobody made Seven a half-way accurate estimate of the number. There were certainly 15,000 o f them, and some esti-

mates ran up as high as 35.000. If there were not actually 35,000 in numbers there was enthusiasm enough for double that number. Half an hour before the exercises began the Fair grounds resembled a monster Indiana picnic more than anything else, and the stamp of enjoyment that the people of our State take in everything was met with on every hand until 11 o’clock, when the visitors turned their footsteps toward the building of jT... their State to hear the speeohmakrng. * There were half a dozen or more ex- * cursions from various parts of the State, and trains loaded down to the guards began to roll into the new terminal station, \fhich was opened for the first time as early as 7 o’clock. Indianapolis sent nearly one thousand of her citizens: Evansville half as many: Terre Haute five hundred or so; Kendallville nearly that number, and Wabash and La Forte and other towns sent nearly twenty carloads. Several hundred went in regular trains from every place within the State that a railroad*touches, and lots of them took lunches to make up for anv shortness . in the visible supply of eatables. When exercises began, at the south front j of the building there were nearly a quarter of a mile of Indiana people crowded in the plaza between the art gallery, the .MW fl WWW B INDIANA’S BUILDING Illinois building and that of the Californians. The speechmaking took place from the elevated Indiana porch, about which were draped American flags, the coat of arms of the United States and of Indiana. In the broad receptionroom in the second story was stationed the La Porte City Band, which rendered the musical numbers of the program. The broad veranda running back on presenter scene f orrairy loveliness. Great banks of palms waved largely in the warm summer wind, in front of them being tastefully arranged magnificent floral decorations. great branches of fragrant a]> ple and sweet-pea blossoms huqg from the pillars supporting the veranda, above which were draped bunting and American flags in profusion. Shortly before 11 o'clock the La Porte City Band discoursed several select*C^3, after which the Rev. Dr. H. A. ,^^m,of the DePauw University, invokvd the divine blessing. 13. F. Havens, the executive commissioner, then arose and made a short speech, delivering the. keys of the building to the president of the board of managers. Clement Studebaker, who stepped forward, receiving the keys in acceptance of the building and in turn delivering a speech and consigning the building to Gov. Claude Matthews. Gov. Matthews’ acceptance and response was wildly cheered by the audience. His speech was by turns forceful, eloquent and witty, and appealed not only to the State pride of his hearers, but to their patriotism and ' love of hospitality as well. He spoke ; of the lesson of peaceful patriotism to ! be learned by the youth of his State from the glories of the Fair, and re- • hearsing briefly the early history of ; the State pointed to the scenes where I that patriotism was born. He praised i the endurance and enterprise of the ■ early settlers, which had become i merged in the industry and thrift of ; the citizens of to-day. He grew en- i thusiastic over the women of the State i and congratulated his hearers that they - were going to listen to one of them. All during the first speeches there had been constantly increasing cries

fox ex-President Harrison, and once or twice it was necessary to explain that the ex-President had not yet arrived, but the people either did not , ~ hear or would not heed, and the uproar was speedily renewed. Just at the

close of the (lover- gen. harrison. nor’s speech the ex-President really appeared, the dense throng opening up a willing way for him. He was greeted with wild enthusiasm, and some time elapsed before the vast concourse of people could be stilled sufficiently for him to be-heard. Ex-President Harrison was looking a trifle pale and worn, but when he spoke his ringing, eloquent words carried farther than any of those before. He spoke of his pride, as a native of Indiana, and as a citizen of <he United States, in being present and participating at this impresive and magnificent ceremony. He said that from the earliest inception of the idea of a World's Columbian Exposition he had followed the progress of the work with the deepest and" most heartfelt interest. The fair was, he said, gloriously typical of the power, and arts, and taste of our great republic, and he had no patience with those who raised their voices to carp, and criticise, and in other ways hinder and obstruct the work of the commissioners and the management of the

fair. Today, he said, they wanted ft deal with smhething else, and forgetting all past differences, open their . hearts for the wonders and beauties of the fair. Mr. Harrison urged every man, woman and child among his listeners to go home and urge everybody to visit the fair and aid to make ’ it the magnificent success that it de- ’ served to be, as well as to witness a spectacle which in all human probability would not be duplicated again within a generation. The ex-Presi-dent was applauded to the echo. The next speaker introduced to the ■ audience, who fairly sweltered in the ' sun. was Mrs. Virginia 0. Meredith, a member of the Board of Lady Mana- ' gers. Her address was short but quite appropriate. She in turn calling on Prof. J. L. Campbell, a member of the Indiana Board of World's Fair managers, who delivered a somewhat lengthy address upon Indiana and her work. A presentation of a flag for the building from the public schools of Kendallville. Ind., gas then made by Perry D. Creager. the Governor receiving the same and thanking the schools for their gift. At the close of the exercises, which consumed the Ixist part of three hours, the Indianians went out to do the Fair' after passing through the big reception room on the second floor of tire Indiana building and shaking bands with the . Governor and ex-President. The imlinri Building. Indiana’s building stands north of the Illinois State Building, which can be heated from any part of the | i - « grounds by its swollen C? t' 1 ' --’W and overgrown, dome.

The commissioners have followed a policy of making the building a pksi-ant loatlng-pla'ce for Hoosiers, hi doing this they were ‘ posed by manv yieople, who wished t < ’ chow. pri^-ntm^W and crazy quilts. When a regiment of fatigued folks from Indiana arrives at the building they would much rather find comfortable seats than sheaves of grain and fruit jars full of grass-seed. The Indi- ■ ana building is truly a home for Hoosiers. Brief State Items. Rockville has a building boom. The alleged tax dodgers, who weiv tried at Columbus, were acquitted. It is settled that an electric railway will l>e built from Lafayette to Chicago. The foundation for the largest flint ' glass factory in the world has been commenced at Albany.

Mace Robinson, a farmer living near Fountaintown, met with a serious accident. Ho was driving out of town, when his horse took fright at a traction engine and kicked out the front of I the buggy, breaking his leg and injur- | | ing him severely. He was taken into j ! a ‘arm house near by and medical at- i I tention given, after which he was re- ! moved to his home, nearly thirteen I miles away. One of the most daring of the many recent attempts to escape from the Prison South was made by Theodore Poweska. a Pole, who was sent from Martinsville t< > serve a term for larceny. : i Hiding under a wagon which was mak- ! j ing its way out of the big double gates ■ of the prison he escaped detection by I the guards until he had gone some dis- i tanee from the prison. He then made ' a break for the Ohio with the guards in pursuit. Reaching the banks of the river he hesitated a mhiuto and then plunged in. He swam but a short distance when the swift waters of the falls carried him rapidly down stream toward the big eddy where so many persons have lost their lives. Seeing that there was no chance to cross the river, and that he would either be shot by the guards from the shore or carried' into the whirlpool, he swam back to shore and was captured.

W hile this will bo the piece de resistance in roses, there are scores of other beds containing from 10,000 to 20,000 plants, made by foreign exhibitors in foreign sections on the island. In the center is a classic pagoda, also flower-covered. Six hundred and eighty varieties of pansies, represented by 150,000 plants, make a collection entirely beyond anybody’s comprehension. It means as much or little as the five-mile depth of the ocean or the endless stretch of the polar snow. Yet this magnificent display is now in bloom, the like of which, Chief Thorpe says, is new to the whole world. The Japanese end of the island is full of surprises, since the whole plat about the Ho-o-den palace has been given to this remarkable empire of the Orient. Shrubs whose names are seldom met

England adjoins this, with costly holly trees and churchyard yews, while near at hand sixty sorts of green peas will burden the air with perfume, and Japanese creeping roses make the ground a carpet of delicate colors. Old folks admire a section devoted entirely to their grandfathers’ flowers, Thore are larkspurs and sweet rockets and columbines and Canterbury bells and all the old-fashioned things that ever grew.

It is a dainty conception, which took Mr. Dolan nearly two months to execute. The design was a water jungle such as might be found under a red-hot sky. Plants which suggest the pictures in the old geographies of the days when the earth was being made have been used and the effect is most real-isti—-a miniature nook where nature has had its own way in a climate where the winds are tempered to the blossoms and the silver side of the sky is always out. The scenery of .mountain side and valley is represented so perfectly that one instinctively looks for chattering monkeys in the palms or nightingales nesting in the flowering brunches of the trees. It would take 1,300,C00 earths to make a globe the size of the sun. The density of the sun is only about onefourth that of the earth. Binns laugh In song.

Breaking Colts. Colts should he broken to harness when about a year and a half old. Begin by bitting thoroughly. Do not slight this part ot the work. A well bitted colt is half broke. One halfbitted or not bitted at all can never be as easily, and seldom as well, broke. It is too much like slighting the early education of a child—almost impossible to overcome it in after life. When the colt has become thoroughly accustomed to the bits and reins, and to being handled thereby, he may le harnessed and hitched up by the side ' of a gentle horse and driven in that manner until he I ecomes familiar with the harness and drives well; then, and not till Uien. he may be hitched up with another colt and the two driven together. After a colt has been once broken—Fe-Mrtve he should be driven a little every few months—often enough at least not to permit him to forget what he has learned until old enough to put into regular work. In bitting and breaking colts never use a jointed or iron bit. A straight • rubber or leather-covered bit is far I letter Bear in mind that a colt's ’ mouth is always tender; that in bitting tl.e reins must be drawn tight: l that an iron or any harsh bit will ! hurt, and that a colt yields more readily to a bit that does mat hu t than t <aie that docs.

For health's sake it i- always best to have the milk cellar by itself, and on no ac ount to allow fruit or vegetables to be kept in it. Yet we have known farm cellars in which not mer ly potatoes but the more pungent turnip and rut a ;ig i. and even a bushel or two of onions, are kept in _he same cellar with the milk, of the three vegetables the onion was perhaps the one that was the least udcusive.—American Cultivator. Weeitlug Ont. Tlie most careful attention should be given to weeding out inferior milk producers. In this work the eye should not pity. The folly of I coping on a poor < r even indifferent perfofnier in the dair. from year to year is only equaled by that of trying to make beef at a i-rotit from a scrub. Why in the name of reason should a man be content with a herd averaging but 3,500 pounds of milk per animal in a year when it is easily possible to secure one that will average G,OOO i pounds a year, or even more? The most successful dairyman will in all probability be the man who keeps scales in his stable and who weighs daily the milk of each cow, or who does so at least once a week. The actual perfo.mance of each animal can then be obtained with great :c---i curacy, and consequent!v their real value absolutely and relatively to the , dairyman. Cows that fail to breed : regularly should at once be discarded | alter a reasonable trial, and without : much preparat on tor the shambles. I The same course should be adopted I with old cows which have outlived : their useful: css. Usually the best return can bo obtained for them when they are sent to the block by the most direct road, out at some seasons of the year, when pastures are plentiful, it may be well to give them something of a finish on the grass. These remarks, it should be remembered, apply to cows of the purely dairy type.-—C'hio Farmer. Size of Farm Korses. At mo-t agricultural shows it is the cargest horses which attract most attention from those who pride them-1 selves on appreciating utility rather j than “fancy’’ points. “See how large ! he is, and of course he must be strong in proportion to his size!” This does not follow. The coarse-built animal has less compact bone and less highly i developed muscle. There are places I where such over-weighted animals I have their value, but merely to carry their excess of fat and weight consumes far too much ot their strength. { Besides, these extra heavy horses can -1 not bear service on hard roads even * at slow paces. For all-around work ■

on the farm, includH^ and road work, there has m A a better horse on this continK V the old Morgan strain. The>^ L compact, an I both muscle ar.d b^S^k are developed, so that their bulk isS only a slight indication of possible strength. Merely to make efficient work horses a strain of the best trotting horse blood is no detriment. Although the g eat bulk of sugar in this country is made f.om cane, either of the sorghum or old-fash-ioned sugar cane ot the Fouth, it is not so in other parts of the world. More sugar is now made in tempeiate climates than in th'se near the equator, and the licet is the staple basis of its manufacture. Tue sugar beet has be n greatly improved in its saccharine qualities s nee the tirst ^a- ; oleon forced its intro luction into France. It was long called the French sugar beet, as the best varieties originated in that couut'y. At present l.owever. the Germans make more sugar from beets than an other people, in the world, and their product is said to have doubled the past year. Cut Worm un<l Mu^kiudon. One ot the worst enemies of the musknmkm-J' the cut worm. He is vlry fond of wheat middlings, and advantage can be taken of this to destroy him by poisoning. Mix a very little Paris green with the middlings, and then strew the poisoned mixture in a circle around the hill, and as close to the plants as possible. Mimbes of dead cut worms will I e found every morning. So long as they can get tiie mid Hings they care for nothing else. Os course care should be taxen to keep fowls or chickens from getting at the meal. When cultivation 1 egins a little earth is drawn over what middlings is not consumed, and it makes an excellent fertilizer. Value of Allies. When a farmer sells the ashes ma le upon a farm to soap men in'b a 1 of spreading them upon mowing cr pasture lands, or applying them to grow.ng crops, it may lie inferred that he does not yet fully apreciate their real value. A'hesare supposed t" contain in a natural form all of th" mineral or ino:ganic elements of 1- rtility that enter into the compositn n of plants and hen e are valuable when applied ro the soil either as a top d.essing to meadow and pasture lands or to growing crops of a.I kinds. < onipo-tiuir Corn Stalk'. lii tiie spring, corn stalks are of little value lor feeding. They dry out by freezing in winter, and devoid ot sap become tasteless and nearly worthless. They are not worth much cither for composting. In a dry summer they will come out dryer and more worthless than ever in the fall. If cut !p and piled in a pit with manure l>elow ground they will rot down; but the manurial value the torn stalk contributes to the heap is , very small. To Keep Ice tor the Sick. Cut a piece of clean flannel (white is oest; about ten inches or more 'qa.ire. Place this over the _top o^a gfa.ss pf. ing t, more into the vessel? “Then’ bTraT’R,. flannel fast to the top of the glass with a string or piece of tape. Now put the ice into the flannel cup and lay another piece of flannel, five or six inches s jtiare, upon the ice. Arranged thus, ice will keep many ■ hour.'. HUT SHOT DID IT. ITou a Fox-Hound Was Cured of His Cowardice. Trim, a black-and-tan fox-hound, belonging to Alexander Poindexter, o: Hickory Ridge, got in the habit early in the winter of letting foxes stop him on the track. In November a fox that he was chasing came to a halt snarled at Trim when he came up, cowed him down, fooled around a while and then trotted leisurely away. Trim resumed the chase, and again the fox drove, him back aryl went on. The fox placed that sort of strategy on the hound until late in the arternoon, when it scooted into a ledge, and Mr. I’oindexter d dn’t get a chance to shoot it. A lew days afterward another fox cowed the hound in th3 same way. and so it ■ went every three or four days, until ■ the first w< ek in February, when Mr. । loindexter made up his mind to 1 ; break tiie hound of his cowardice or kill him in the attempt. (>n February 3 Trim ran a fox all right for three and one-half hours, when Mr. Poindexter, who whs standing on a bluff runway, heard the ho and give tongue for several mini utes in one spot on the opposite 'ide of the bluff. He imag ne I what the trouble was, and, running to the top of the ridge, lie saw Trim and the fox standing on the opposite ends of a log some distance down in the valley. The fox’s back was toward Mr. Poindexter, and the hound was baying furiously. President!? Trim made a rush at Reynard, and the fox snarled and hissed, and cowed him down. The hound got back to his end of the log in a hurry, and the cunning fox glared at him and iashe 1 j his tail. This was repeated three times while Mr. Poindexter was getting within gunshot of the belligerent animals, and the hunter was angry t > think that'the hound hadn’t ! courage enough to pitch iut» the fox ! and 'lay him. IN bile Irim and Reynard were glaring at one an flier Mr Poindexter blazed away on a line with the log. The fox started off on a lively trot, and the hound was so madened by the sting of the shot that he pounced on the fox and shook him to death in a hurry. That broke Trim of his cowardice, and since that he has shaken the life out of three foxes that halted in the chase and undertook to cow him down.—New York Sun.
