The “‘signs” as interpreted by the Optic man are all awry, as we see them. It is more than likely that the democrats of Minnesota will in- sist on Governor Johnson again being the standard bearer for gover- nor, and that his name will be pre- sented to the convention at Minnea- polis on the 19th inst. And this same possibility is causing consid- erable anxiety in republican citcles. Congressman Hammond is the sec- ond choice of the rank and file of the party, and but few are of the opinion that Mr. O’Brien is a possi- bility as a gubernatorial candidate.

LARGE SIZE 500, Chicago, Aug. j—While shippers’ erganizations in all parts of the Unit- ed States are fighting the rallroads tooth and nail in an effort to secure reductions in, freight rates or to pre- vent the putting into effect of pro- posed increases thousands of railway employes, fearing that their wages ay be reduced unless the companies are permitted to increase their rev- enues, are planning a vast campaign in the interests of their employers. Definite ways and means have not yet been decided upon, but the gen eral scope of the plan includes an ex- tensive campaign of education to show that the interests of the public de mand that the roads be allowed to in- orease their earnings. It is also proposed to present their side of the cafe before the interstate commerce Barker’s DrugStore Flinty, Plant Covers. ‘When Sir Humphry Davy was.a boy about sixteen, a little girl came to him In great excitement: “Humphry, do tell me my these two pleces of cane make a tiny spark of light when I rub them together?” Humphry was a studious boy, who spent hours in thinking out scientific problems. He patted the child’s curly head and said: “I do not know, dear. Let us see if they really do make a light, and then we will try to find out why.” Humphry soon found that the little girl was right. The pieces of cane if rubbed together quickly did give a tiny light.

And vet some of us can never get a bite, Pittsburg has started a fad about the Merry Widower hat. Pittsburg is rich enough to be foolish. The “Hughes’s Victory” headline refers to New York, not to Chicago. Which shows thatHughes is a better governor than he is politican. It ‘was really a compliment to Germany to send an ambassador to Berlin more loaded with brains than cash. The reception tendered Dr. Hill by the Kaiser indicates his appreciation of the situation. —— The Pirates, The Chicago News fails to name the bero of this story, but has it that the visitor to the home of a well known Hoosler State author found his three youngsters romping in the hallway. “What are you playing, boys?’ he inquired. “We are playing pirates,” elucidated the smallest. “Pirates? Why, how. can you play pirates in Indiana? There are no seas bordering on this state.” “Oh, we don’t need any seas. We are lterary pirates, like pa.” And five minutes later a chorus of yells from behind the barn told that the hand that wields the pen can also ‘wield the shingle.

Harriman Says They Are the Basis of Prosperity. San Francisco, Aug. .—“A more rational feeling prevails throughout the country in the matter of financial conditions,” said E. H. Harriman, the railroad magnate, while discussing the question of prosperity and other sub- Jects of interest to the people at large. “I feel that there is much improve- ment in the situation. With the crops growing and those already gathered the productions in the aggregate will be of greater magnitude and value this year. This is the basis of pros- perity. When the farmers sell their orops they will be on the markets to buy and thus help the merchant and manufacturer. “It is necessary for the railroad corporations to have credit with which to raise funds to put their roads on & proper basis and have them reach the highest state of efficiency. As I wrote to President Roosevelt and Sec- retary Taft I favored a regulated pub- leity, but felt that the railroads must have protection.

Some- times they would ccme to an obstacle that barred the passage, such as » great limestone rock or a yawning crevasse across the way. Such obsta- cles would often stop exploration in that direction for years, though beyond the obstruction there were likely to be scores ‘of beautiful chambers and many miles of passageways. Thus it happen- ed that for years nothing was known of that large part of the cave lying be- yond the abyss named the Bottomless pit. This obstruction was known for over twenty years before it was cross. ed. Then one day in 1837 the negro cave explorer Stephen and some of his fellows dragged to the place the trunk of a small tree, and on this rather dan gerous bridge Stephen crawled across the abyss. Then began the explora tions that revealed omv: of the most wonderful and extensiva parts of Mammoth cave The abyss . as found later to be 180 feet deep. Table Manners In Old France.
