Carrie Nation lectured in New York the other day, and had the large audience of two people. And these were dead heads. The Midway at the Pan-American Exposition is far ahead of the Midway of the World’s Fair, both in size and number of attractions. P. C. Reynolds, a prominent resident of northern Indiana, died at Westville last week, aged 81 years. He made the first traction engine used in this country, and several of his valuable inventions in watch-making machinery are in use to day. Opie Read, the well known novelist, is preparing to write a new play, to be called “The Starbucks,” in which the St. Joseph river will become one of the scenes. Clay Clement will be the star. The late Ben King was a bosom friend of Opie Read and it was through King that Read was shown the beauties this grand river. James D. Oliver is always alive to the best interests of South Bend. The school board of that city wanted to buy an acre of land of him on which to erect a new school building, but didn’t feel able to pay what the land is worth, $3,000. They made him an offer 51,500, which was promptly accepted and he also asked the privilege of donating another acre to be used as a school park. It is this kind of spirit that is making South Bend one of the leading cities of the state. Indianapolis News: The Government now estimates that the corn crop will be 54 per cent of an average yield. This means a shortage of about 800,000,000 bushels. The Government places the wheat crop at a little over SO per cent, and estimates, official and unofficial, but the probable yield of wheat at 660,000,000 bushels more than last year. European wheat crops are under normal, so there promises to be an unusual demand Jhr our surplus. T _ T t -annears that

^^wmlk^her^wuTbe a serious shortage in our corn crop, the surplus of our wheat crop will even things up to the farmer, and so the year promises to be a better one than was thought in the earlier days of the drought. The way an independent views the present political situation in the democratic party may be seen by the following from the Indianapolis News: “Other states will follow the lead of Ohio. In the east and the middle west the machinery of the party is in the hands of men who, though they have kept themselves regular, have little or no sympathy with Bryanism. One thing that held them in line has been their desire to keep control of the organization. So the Ohio precedent is likely to be popular. Many a man who has kept quiet for years will now find his voice. Party organs that made devotion to the late leader a test of party loyalty will now declare that the Ohio Platform is thoroughly democratic. There will be a growing demand for a complete severance of relations between the democratic and populist organizations. In a word, the counter-revolution has begun. It will not be arrested. It may be checked occasionally, but it will go on. For all the great influences of the time are in its favor. The truth is that the country itself has moved wholly away from the cheap money idea.” Many physicians are now prescribing Kodol Dyspepsia Cure regularly having found that it is the best prescription they can write because it is the one | preparation which contains the elements necessary to digest not only some kinds of food but all kind and it therefore cures indigestion and dyspepsia no matter what its cause.

Tim average length of human life in ’ , the United States has increased within - the last decade from 31.1 to 35.2 years. This increase is attributed to the progress of medical science and improved sanitary conditions. W illiam J. Bryan declared a few days ago that having been twice defeated for the presidency by the people it would be manifestly improper for him to think r ’ of being made the standard-bearer in a third race. Right you are, Mr. Bryan.— - South Bend Times. Each congressman this year will have _ fifty trees for distribution among hie constituents. They will be of varieties selected with a view to the climate in ] which they are grown. Many are nut r trees such as the pecan, walnut and ) butternut. It is hoped in this way both r to encourage the general planting of 1 trees and to give those who plant them f a permanent return for their work. e '*' ■ A. B. Switzer, the well known Peru attorney, who returned last week from : । a trip around the world, says that - , slavery exists to an alarming extent in ’ the Philippine Islands. Slaves usually sell for from five to fifteen dollars, but in a few cases they bring more than 1 that. The most profitable way to secure labor, he says, is to hire these slaves from their masters, which can be done for? 2 a month. : In Indiana according to the last cen- 1 1 sue there were 29 cities, each having ! 1 more than 2,000 children of school age 1 In 25 of these cities the girls exceed the • boys in number. There are 92 counties ' in the state, but in all but 15 counties the boys outnumber the girls. Os these < 15 counties eight of them contain large I cities. Here is a plain decisive showing ; by figures indisputable that in the cities i girls outnumber the boys. Why is this? < Are conditions more favorable for the 1

growth of boys in the country? The practice of Indiana governors of granting a few days’ parole that even a life prisoner may see his mother, father or wife, who is about to die, is humane and should have a beneficial effect on the prisoner. In this practice there are two things to guard against: The abuse of a parole by prisoners that want a few days’ liberty to work on public sympathy for a pardon rather than to visit dying parents; and the issuance of paroles chiefly or exclusively to prisoners that have influential friends at court.
