Evansville mayor enforces Sunday closing and liquor laws
Mayor Boehne of Evansville issues a proclamation to close saloons at 11 p.m. and all day Sunday from January 1, 1907, asserting fidelity to Indiana statutes. He defends enforcing the law despite public resistance, arguing past leniency ended and licenses may not expire until next year. The move aims to curb酒 drink trade and deter crime while urging liquor dealers to comply in advance. Russell Sage's will leaves roughly $80 million to his widow, Mrs. Sage, with most wealth passing to her and little to public causes. The widow, famed for charitable impulses, now faces the task of using vast fortune for beneficial ends.

Human labor costs compared to mechanical energy
Professor Fischer researches show a grown man stores about 3,000 to 3,500 kilocalories daily. About 300 kilocalories power eight hours of work equal to 0.47 horsepower hours. Calculations place human work at 750 francs for 100 horsepower hours, nurses at 60 francs, gas engine at 6 francs, and gas motor at 3.50 francs, concluding human motive force is a hundred times more costly than mechanical energy.
