BRICK streets are not as badly needed as system of sewerage. The public health demands the latter.

THE Republicans have rednced the tariff a good deal more in the last ten years than it ever will be reduced by the Democrats.

THE county is out of money and the Commissioners have decided to borrow 312,000. Bonds will be issued and sold to the best bidders.

How WOULD this sound: "Hon. Con Cunningham, Consul at Dublin." It is understood that the Irish Democrats intend to push their countrymen for this position. The salary is 62.000 and the fees amount to as much more.

THERE ib evidently looseness connected with the management of the school fund that needs tightening up. Perhaps nobody in particular is to to censured but a little more vigorosu enforcement of law would be worth thousands to the school fund.

MR. CLEVELAND announces that he is diBgusied with office seekers. He forgets that most of his own time for the last dozen years or more has been spent either in the enjoyment of office or in the pursuit therof. As Sheriff. Mayor, Governor and President it does not become him to sneer at other Democrats who seek place but who have been less for'unate. (irRtitude, however, is not one of Cleveland's characteristics.

IT IS well to bear in mind the fact that the awful things that are going to happen under free trade are in progress now at the highly protected Carnegie iron and steel mill in Homestead, Pa, The workingmen have been starved out, and if they get work at all they take it Ht whatever Mr. Frick may offer.—Chicago Herald.

The Herald should have had the candor to say that all these things happened immediately after a reduction of the tariff on products such aa are manufactured at Homestead. If it is a fact that workingmen at Homestead "have been starved out" and compelled to take such wages as Mr. Frick may choose to give them, sensible people will not fail to observe that this deplorable condition of things came as the result of a decrease, and not an increase of the tariff.

Tuck Coi a Fish.

Some time Bince two representative sports, of Chicago landed in Lafayette and registered at the Bramble house at Samuel Doan and John McDill, the former a typical sprinter and the latter a professional card gamester. It was not long after they arrived that they were looked upon as genuine sports by the local fraternity. They soon gained the confidence of two of our members and Doss proposed a race with a Monon sprinter, saying it was a dead easy "cinch" for r. cool 8300, and the match was made. The Lafayette sports backed Doss who lost. It was so evident that a genuine dump had taken place, that after the race a "free for all set-to" occurred, pistols and knives were drawn and advices from Monon say that one of the participants was shot through the ear, but this report is not confirmed,and Tuck Cox was badly bitten by Doss on the hand. The latter's wound wes dressed by Dr. Hopper this morning. These same professional beats have been traveling over the country some time working the same hippodrome race and pockelicg the proceeds, but the Lafayette sports, barring one, lost nothing excrpt a little blood and one a cool 8100.

Tuck Cox ought to have jtnown better, (is his crowd was worked here the same way by some tramps who wished to run at Ladoga several years ago. It's the old story.

SCHOOL TEACHERS RATTLED

THEY AK£ SOLD SPURIOUS EXAMI­

NATION QUESTIONS BY ,, A FRAUD.

sapt Zuck's Sympathy Spoils the State Superintendent's Game,

This story comes from the State Superintendent's office regarding tl peddler of examination questions with wuom Mr. /.uck dealt last Saturday:

A year ago State Superintendent, Vories, be^un to hear VUKUC rumors U\ut the questions for teachers, examinations were being offered for sale. The information was or so indefinite a nature and so thoroughly devoid ol' data of lime and of place unU of wuu was involved, that although steps were taken immediately to investigate the reports it was not only until a few weeks ago that tangible facts were discovered. Since theu development have followed right along, and all indications were that the guilty man would soon be in custody, uulast Saturday when, by a blunder of a county superintendent, the man who has been the object of search for twelve long months was allowed to escape from the State.

For along tune a man known as l-'.d li. Keen lias been traveling over Indiana, selling charts to be used in the district schools. He called himself the Superintendent ot ttie School Supply Exchange, which he said was ltx*at?u iu Cuicago. Sotuc time ago Keen sold charts in Boone oounty. Ho sold then to tue Township Trustees and promised to teach the teachers how to use them. When the charts were routiy to be delivered in a certain township in Boone county, ail the teachers in that township were called together to receive the promised instruction. While the teachers were thus gathered together Ivoen had a private consultation with several of them one at a time.

One of the teachers with whom Keen talked in private at this meeting was 1£. V*. Suiitn. Keen told Smith that he had arranged to secure in advauce the teachers' examination questions .vhich were to be used iu the county examination all over the State last Saturday, November He had a contract with a county superintendent to get them, he said, and would sell them to Smith for $40. Smith declined the offer aud communicated his information to State Superintendent. Vories. Mr. Vories at once requested Smith to enter into negotiations with Keen in order to trap him.

Thij-Smith did and carried on considerable correspondence with Keen. Last week Keen notified Smith by letter that he could get the questions to be uscu on Saturday by coming to Crawfordsvillt for them on Friday. Smith went to Craw fordsville, and found there a dozeu_or moit teachers

coiynur

the ijuestious. Keen had

only one set of questions, aud all the teachers had to gather around one place anu copy them, us a consequence. Keen announced to the teachers that he he ha« bought the questions at the Grand Hotel at Indianapolis, on the dav before and that he had pau $500 for them. Smith told Keen that he [Smith] had been unable to raist the necessary *40 and proposed to put hi: watch la the hands of a Crawfordsvillt jeweler, to be delivered to Keen 'vhen the latter had ass,sted him (Smith to secure a three years'liceuse to teach. Keen ac cepted the proposition and weut so for a' to draw up and sign a written contract embodying the proposition. Keen, in asserting the genuiness of the questions, declared that tliey were in the handwriting of the Superintendent iroa- \\uvai uc huu obtained them. Smith succeeded in secreting in his shoe one list of the originu questions and Drought it away with him for the purpose of comparing it with the handwriting of the several superintendents of the State. It is said that the comparison has been carefully made and that the writing is unlike any of tnem.

Mr Smith returned to Boone county with his questions and attended the county teachers'examination the next uay. Upon receiving the list of questions from the Superintendent Smith produced those lie purchased from Keen, aud fouud by a comparison that the $40 questions were bogus and in no ways like the genuine. Mr. Smith carefully watched two teachers who he had seen copying the bogus questions at Crawfordsvilier on the day before. Hd saw them examine the genuine questions with surprise and alarm. After awhile one of the two wrote across the head of his paper: '•1 am not feeling well and will not take the examination to-day.

Then lie handed the papers bark to the superintendent and*went away. The other of he two du|HHl tCrirhers *at awhile lonirer fumbling with his papers, and then ui- Uhj »woe upon them that he wa*» not well and would dele, his examination until some ol her lime. Then he departed. It Is known that teachers f»om Jtooite, Montgomery and Hendricks counties had purchased sets of questions from Keen in preparation lor lust Saturday'^ examination. It was the intention ot Mate Superintendent Voriej* to havean atliduvii sworn out against Keen as soon an ah the necessary evideuee wa* in hand, hut this phm was frustrated JW follows:

J. S. Zuck. superintendent of Montgomery county, ir. some way discovered what Keen wHadoimr in Cruwtordgx ille, and just before Mr. Vories' plan was ready to be consummated

%'r.

Zuek reported what he had learned to W. Moflett, prosecutor of Montgomery county, and asked Motlett to prepare an affidavit against Keen, which he «Zuck would sign in order to have* Keen arrested at once. Although Zuek knew nothing of wnat Vories was doing and Vories was ignorant of Zuck's action, all might yet have worked out right had not Zuck met Keen ont'»e street. ThN was while the prosecutor WHS engaged in drawing up the allidavit fur Kwn'* arrest.

No sooner did Zuek meet K«h«ii than he eharKC'd him with the soiling of the IHWIIO questions. Keen denied it. and Zuck drew trom his pocket a receipt lor $40 which Keen had given to one of his victims. Then Keen confessed hl: i/uilt and pleaded for mere. He said he was driven to the crime by poverty aud by the necessity of earing well lor his sick wife. He begged so hard that Zuck's heart was moved and he promised Keen that if he would return the money which he hud ohtutmtl from the Montgomery countv teachers, he tZoek) would not prosecute him. Keen returiKHi the money and Immediately left the cify. Then Zuck uvnt hack to the prosecutor and refused to ign the allldavit. for Keen's arrest,. When the State Superintendent sent to the prosecutor of Montgomery county to have Keen arrested, he svhs informed ol what had ulready taken place, and in what manner his year of Investigation had b«en lost..

Keen had sold his chart -in many parts of the S,:»«eand it is thought that he may have earrU«d on his trade in bogus evaminat .in question* wherever he Jnus liti'it Part of the he has represented that he lived in Muncieand at present his wife, who is realty Mek. is in Craw l'ordsville For a lime tm ht was located in Jjebanon, in Hoonc county. He ha always said that his place of hu&inc.«4 wa* Chicago, ar it is believed that his name and that oft he tlnn for which he sold supplies have l»een correctly given by him. He seems t" have relied tor safety, in Ids Illegal operations, upon the tact that teachers whom he duped, being themselves implicated in .in unlawful transaction, would not dare to make conipjalnt.

The greatest precautions are observed hy the authorities to pr«.\ent any advance knowledge of the examination questions from escaping. No one but the State Superintendent himself knowH where the questions art? printed. The questions are sent to the county sup erint4Midenus tightly sealed, with instructions to open them only in the presence of the teachers who have assembled for examination on the morning of examination dav. It is customary tor the county nuperintendent. before opening the questions to write ujon the sealed package: "We. the undersigned, have examined this envelop* this morning (here inserting thcdatcjand tind it. Intact.''

The envelope is then passed to several persons, who examine It and sign the statement with their signatures. Superintendent Vories said this morniog that It Is Impossible for the examination questijns to become known prematurely, unless revealed by a eountv superintendent.
