what the bill describes as a "dia

test to be applied in the case of an
Italian, in whose country many
dialects are spoken, besides the na

Then there is a provision where
by a slip is to be given each immi

type, some forty words in eac-b
emigrant's own language or dia

for more than one immigrant,
which not only would entail con
siderable expense and labor, but
would engender confusion with
out guarantee that a slip printed,
for instance, in the Croatian lan

Italian immigrant whose inability
to read it would mean his exclu

MOTHER CF JUROR
EURNED TO DEATH
Mrs. William Clawson, of Clyde,
Attempted to Light Fire by
Use of Oil.
WAS ALONE AT THE TIME.
Clyde, January s—Two young
men, traveling agents, found Mrs.
| Susannah Clawson, aged 67 years,
I wife of William Clawson, died in
her home here Monday afternoon
about 3 o'clock. The woman had
j been burned to death.
Mrs. Clawson had evidently
! made an effort to get outside her
home, the body being close to the
door. An oil can, with some of
the contents spilled on the floor,
was found close to the stove. It is
believed that Mrs. Clawson was i
burned while using oil in lighting
the fire.
The aged woman was alone. Her
husband had gone to Ileshbon on
business and one of her sons, Geo.
Clawson, was serving on an Indi
ana county jury at the county
seat.
The agents had been going from
house to house. When they came
to the Clawson home they found
the door standing partially open.
It was very cold and the agents be
came suspicious when they found
the open door. They investigated,
and neighbors were notified, who
in turn summoned the husband
and children. Two sons and a
daughter survive with the hus
band.

LARGE BARN BURNED
New Year Brought Misfortune to
White Township Farmer.
The coming of the New Year
brought misfortune to George
Spencer, who resides north of In
diana. Shortly before the year
was ushered in by the blowing of
whistles at the county seat, fire
was discovered in the barn at the
Spencer farm. The greater part
of the livestock was saved, but a
large quantity of grain and feed
was burned. The loss is estimated
at $4,000. The farm was to have
been sold the day of the fire, but
the deal has been called off indefi
nitely. Mr. Spencer and his fath
er, Israel Spencer, lost a sawmill
by fire a few years ago and were
just getting on their feet again,
when the last fire occurred.
