by low water. At certain seasons of the year we can always expect a dirth of water in theI*rivers 1 *rivers and and creeks and with obe of those low-water periods at hdnd the patrons.of the Light & Power Co’.', should appreciate the fact that the cojnpany has a constant struggle on its hands to keep dp enough power to .give as good, service as when the streams are at normal , height. Patrons of the company can by the economical use of the' lights at the low-water season help i to a great extent to illiminate al certain portion of the pbwer-short-1 age and at the same time derive | better service from What lights they must use. • • o ‘ - That Cure^Him. A certain Indianopolis lawyer who has a good practice now, quit drinking \yhisky—and beer and other intoxicants for that matter—lwo or three years ago, andhe did not 'take the Keeley cure either. A German saloonkeeper of whom the lawyer bought most of his liquor administered the cure, and it has been effective. * For several years the lawyer had been buyingMieaigy all his drinks at this particular saloon. He paid his bills there the same as he paid his grocery bills. Finally the old saloonkeeper bought a house and lot, and he employed another lawyer, who A never bought drinks, to prepare tfie abstract and the deed and transacfzother business in c'on-s nection with the deal. The lawyer who had been the regular customer heard He was filled with . rage, and heijwent! at once to 'j[’e- 1 mand an explanation. “Here,” he yelled as he leaned over the bar, and pointed an accusing finger at the old German. I buy all my drinks here. I have bought my drinksdiere for years. I have spent hundreds of dollars in this j place. And then the very minute you have some work for a lawyer to do you go and employ some one else. That’s what you do. You go and, and—” ' “Veil”'interrupted the old German in the midst of the harangue of accusation, “when I got buiness, I want it done by a sober : lawyer.” The offended lawyer turned and walked out, and his friends say he has drunk nothing stronger than coffee since.—lndianapolis News. “Help! “Help!” came a cry of distress through the midnight stillness. The policeman in the neighboring doorway stirred uneasily. “Advertise in the want column,” he muttered and resumed his nap.— Exchange.

Sells Horse Flesh for Beef. A Perue, butcher h&s evidently ! ; “slipped one over” oh his customers ' by selling faithful Dobbin to them nicely sliced. The Journal of that I city says: I “The finding of a horse’s head ki 1 a meal, barrel, in the of a : butcher shop within the city limits has caused the state officials to commence an investigation which in all probabilities will result in the j arrest of a certain butcher. Whether lor not the horse was- sold for beef i is unknown, although the discovery i of the horse’s head looks bad and I there is little doubt. but tlie proprietor of the shop will be forced to explain its presence. “The nasty find was mafle by some boys who happened to be lurking in the alley. They immediately told of the affair and a report has been made to“ F. W. Tucker, deputy state pure food inspector. Mr. Tucker has the € case in his hands, but what the outcome will be is hard to determine. “Several weeks ago, people living in the vicinity of the meat market found that the meat they were purchasing was rather dark and tough, and did not have the appearance of beef. The meat was taken to Mr. Tucker’s home, but the inspector was out of town and they were unable to learn the cause of the peculiar condition of the meat. The crisis came when the head-of a horse was found together'-with other meat scraps near the market. “It is not known to whom the horse belonged, but it seems rather .queer that the head should be severed from the body and that it should be found in a meat can and near a meat market.” o Gary Wickedest u'ty Ever, Gary is classed the most wicked city in Indiana. During the last seven months Gary has had more arrets than any city of its size in the state, 1,242, with an approximate estimate of a ‘population of 14,000. This would make one arrest for every twelve in the city. Gary’s saloons are increasing daily and there are how 192 with others on the way, making a saloon for every seventy people. The county commissioners at Crown Point recently completed a new jail costing SIOO,OOO. It is filled to overflowing with Gary prisoners. . What else can be expected from a city whose population is made up from a class that knows but little of what is required of them to make good American citizens ' and only time and education will bring about the desired results.— Goshen Democrat.

Brood Mare Stable. Goshen Democrat.) . , Fire this afternoon completely destroyed the breed mare stable at I the county fair grounds and before [ the flames were extinguished a horse owned by Christian Holder- ■ man of Elkhart, was cremated. Ten other horses, which were in the barn were saved. A valuable colt belonging to A. J. Wcod, was slightly injured. The burned stable was located a short .distance west of the -grand stand and it required work of the hardest kind to save the structure. A dozen persons carried buckets of water and shoveled sand to stop the progress of the fire. The origin of the blaZe is believed to have been from a I Lake Shore engine spark. When first seen the flames were enveloping the structure. Reports Spread all over Goshen that the big grandstand was ablaze, there was much excitement and the fire department went to tfie scene. The Elkhart County Fair and Agricultural Society carried SSOO insurance on the barn which was worth about S7OO. Work will be started at once on rebuilding the stable. Instead of being located near the grandstand it will be built on the north part of the grounds, so asfio do away with the danger of fire in the future. The third annual fair is due to open five weeks from next Tuesday. Several weeks ago the merchants of Lagrange, Ind., arranged for a general bargain day, and they marked their goods down to a very low figure for that day only. They then throughly billed the county and when the bargain day arrived the- town was filled with people. They had also arranged for a number of other attractions, including a ball game and continous band concerts. The merchants were so well pleased with the results that an effort is being made to have another such day in the near future. A number of the stores favor having the sales either biweekly or monthly. They claim that it is a good advertising medium. Obituary. Alice Florence Ebert, wife of Thomas Ebert, was born in Anderson, Kentucky, June 6, 1855 and died at the family resident on South Main St.. Syracuse, August 5, 1910, aged 55 years, 1 month and 30 days She leaves to mourn her demise a husband, one daughter and a host of friends.

Will Spot the Speeder. A clever,camera-like device designed to record accurately the rate of speeding automobiles will be welcome alike by automobilists and officials of the law. As described by the Scientific American the machine consists in large part of a camera, with two lenses so arranged that the second hand of a watch is also included in the picture. !The first exposure shows the automobile close at hand with the number on the rear axle. The second exposure the machine further away. With the distance from the lens to the plate known in each case and the time shown in the same picture it can be shown absolutely how fast the machine was going. With the elimination of all guess work by the driver or the policeman by such evidence, .convictions of o speed violations will be more frequent. The machine can be t sed to good advantage on crowded city streets because of the short distance required for its operation. The majority of automobilists will welcome this devise as one of the agencies in the elimination of the minority which persists in violating the law, to the discredit of the whole class.—Starke County Republican.

SB MITGH Ml BURNED Elkhart Again Visited by Disasterous Conflagration. The Star Match factory at Elkhart, burned to the ground Friday afternoon entailing p loss to the owrers of $'103,000 with insurance to the amount 6f $30,000. ’ It originated in the stoch room and spontaneous c< mbastion is as'cribed as ti e cause, as the building was built of reinforced concrete and said to be absolutely fire-proof. When the blaze started a machinist vho wrs v orking on a box machine in an adjoining building saw the reflections through the windows and at once gave the alarm. The workman turned out emmi ss and the company’s fire fighting apparatus was brought into play with no success. The city fire department was called but by the time they arrived the fire had gained such head way as to render,, their services of no avail. This is the second disasterous fire for Elkhart in its manufacturing district this year, the other being the Conn Jiorn factory which was destroyed some two months ago.
