Investigate.

Tho Board of County Commissioners have bad their attention called to a serious charge against ex-Auditor John L. Goben—a charge of misfeasance in ofliee. They have had pointed out to tbcin that where a county official has

misappropriated the funds of the coun- |0CBtjnR

a compromise between the recusant official an the Hoard cannot be made. They are informed of the {nc* that Goben obtained on warrants drawn on Ihe county funds ia his favor during Ins eight years of office more thau 851,000. They are aware that the Auditor's books during moBt of Goben's term are in a mixed condition. It is being openly charged that ex-Tr asurer John C. Ilntton is short in his accouuts, and that he collected certain moneys and never turned them over to the county. All these charges are the result of a quasi-inveetigation, which 6hows, also, tbat the Auditor's distributions of the funds have frequently been wrong that daring Goben's terms settlements with the county Treasurer and the distributions of the funds were made by three different deputies. It has also been shown that the county indebtedness grew from $21,000 in 1891 to 873,000 in 1896, while the vote of taxation has been increased constantly.

Now, gentlemen, members of the Board of Commissioners, what are you going to do? Are you afraid to order an investigation? Do you fear an exposure of some of the officials of your own party? Are you afraid-to let the public known by an investigation that "Old John Fullen" was a public official as honest as the day is long, and while in office labored to save the county from increasing expenses. Are you going to let the charge of embezzlement hang over John C. Hutton by charging him with a failure to turn over funds, when the only reason you have for believing the charge is a half cocked investigation made for political effect? Since all these facts have been made public the people want to «now who are the guilty parties. They waat to know whether somebody besides these two ex-officials have done anything to cause an increase in the burden of taxation and in the county indebtedness. And if you, gentlemen, are afraid to make this investigation, the people will not excuse you, neither will they believe that republican officials have nut had a hand in these matters, rr that Hutton and Gobeu are charged with dishonest methods for other than political effect and to shitkl republican officials.

The next thing doubtless will be a visit to Cincinnati or Chicago to ascertain the style of harness needed,for the angine horses.

UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS.

Opening of W'illet's hillinery

Emporium Last Week.

Few thinss attract the attention of ladies more thin becoming bats and the announcement of an approaching millinery opening heralds the lime for perdelight in viewing the latest designs of workmanship contrived for each respective season.

Ill the fall of 1800 and too late for that Reason's business. Mrs. L. R. Willets removed her millinery erap.orivim to this citv from Marion, Ind.,

at 20 ca6t Mum wmt

opportuue place lor such an establishment. On :ast Friday afternoon, ac-

cording to former announcements, Mrs. W il'ets began her f'rtt, millinery open ing in this city. The lar.e room which ordinarily has an attractive appearance, was for this occasion even more intensified with most esthetic decorations of palmp, Howeve and blooms on every band. Midway 111 the room hung plain a movt elaborate profusion of morning glories entwined aliout a curtain of natural thorn leaves from which emerged continually the inspiring songs of canary birds. The mirrors were decorated with rich colored ribbons and more than a hunored pleasing efforts in spring head dress gave luster to the surrounding, elegance. Mrs. Willets, who for nearly a score of years has busied herself in the study of fashionable millinery received the thanks of lady guests, attired in a most attractive black silk relief costume trimmed in rich cut jet ornaments. With her was her head trimmer, Mrs. Belle Piselle, of Toledo, and her trimmers The ladies were kept continually busy showing their choice hate on Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings and many fattering remarks were heard concerning this opening. At night the scene presented an indiscribable beauty mai'e by the glare of incandescent lights while without stood an exhibit case containing a tine selection of infants' hoods. Tnis case was lit by electricity. Throughout the opening instrumental music was discoursed by

Hrof. Eddie Braudkamp and J. E. Vancleave aad mirth possessed the assemblies. Among the prettiest effects cfhown by Mrs. Willits and her assist ants were 19 costly but beautiful hat6 imported direct from the shops at Paris. The opening it is claimed was one of the beBt efforts ever made in this city and it certainly means a large patronage for the new Emporium.

The New Anti-Peddling Ordinance. The new anti-peddling ordinance is likely to meot with some set backs occasionally in its enforcement. Already the city attorney through his opinion prevented its operation on two solicit ors for work to be done elsewhere. Jutnes Walters and Ben Benedict were arrested for taking orders for a Chicago picture house for future delivery. They declared their intention of standing trial, and were released at the instanc0 of City Attorney Whittington, who said that the section of the ordinance which they violated was in conflict with the interstate commerce law. It is not at all improbable that other defects will be discovered in tho ordinance whenever a test is made, and whether ti ordinance in a few months will not prove a dead leiter is a matter that is probable. •o "•••_

Fair Directors Aleeting. The directors of the fair association met at the SLtiail court room on Saturday last.

Haul Hughes was elected superintendent of privileges and a committee on printing and stationery was also elected. This committee is composed of M. B. Waugb, W. W. Morgan aud W. F. Hulor.

Ore week from to-day the directors will meet again to revise the premium list, and any person who has any suggestion to make along this line is requested to meet with the directors at that time. [1 was voted to devote 82.500 to the speed ring this ytiar, tl»«j amount being tne same us ofivreu i:*t Vear.

Improvements at Pleasant View.

Mr. Clore has about finished his aerial ferry across 'Sugar'-Creek. A wire rope has been stretched across the creek, tvyenty-fivo feet above tly? water. A basket will be suspended from this, in which passengers wiii be hauled across.

Still Lusty and Strong.

Andrew Hickman, a resident of Terre Haute, who celebrated his sixty eighth birthday on Monday, was confined in Libby prison 444 days. He was found by a reporter this week doing his equal share with a number of other workmen in the excavation of a cellar.

Hope Departed.

Rev. W. E, Henshaw, according to the supreme court, is guilty of murder and tb3 sentence of li imprisonment stands. The supreme court has refused a reversal of the case of Rev. W, E.|Henshaw, the Methodist preacher of Bollvilli1, Hendricks county, convicted two yea ago of murdering his wife and sentenced to life imprisonment. His fiiends appealed the case to the

Buch

pr«me court, but and opinion last week, affirmed the opinion of tho court that invicted him. His friends thought it impossible that a pious, God-fearing sanctimonious Methodist minister could be guilty of

an attrocious act as

murdering his wife. Pettit's friends thought the same about him too. Yet 111 HenshawV case no morbid sentimentalety seems to exist with the supreme court judges, and cold facts, cold reasoning and many sound conclusions seem to prevail.

The court declares that there is no ground upon which to sustain the contention of innocence on the pait of the accused, for all the evidence, though circumstantial in the main, presents a chain of unbroken links breaks down every presumption of innocence.

The evidence is taken up in detail, the testimony of each witness examined under all the facts, the rulings of the court from time to time in the course of the trial stated, and their underlying causes analyzed and their correctness affimed.

56TH YEAR.-NO 85.

AN UNFAIR ORDINANCE.

Residents are Prevented from Fol

lowing Their Business Through

It.

That new ordinance of tho city council is proving itself to be a fraud in many respects, and its attempted en. forcement will soon render many features of it unpopular and odious, Geo. Swisher, who has resided in the county for many yearp, sells rugs both in town and country, and has for a long tiire. He purchases them at wholesale ratra and makes his profit by retailing them from house to house, yet he was arrested for violating the anti-peddling ordinance. Now if he has no right to do this, by what authority, sense or reason has the Iiostanzers, McClure & Graham and others to sell rugs. Swisher ships his rugs in here from abroad so do tho merchants. He

goeB

about town retail

ing them, while the merchants simply sell in a room. Samuel Vancleave, a crayon artist, who has resided in the county most al! his life, takes orders for enlarged pictures from people in town and country. On going to deliver some of his wt rlc this week ho was informed that he was violating the anti-peddling ordinance and must cease.

That ordinance is unfair, is partial, tavors one class of the community over other, and seems to have been

the enacted for some particular intercutThose subject to its exactions should immediately on arrest appeal to tho courts. We believe it unconstitutional in many features, and can be abolished' through a test of law.

The Kind They Prefer.

In order to satisfy a wonderment a reader of the home papers made a personal investigation of the preferred brand of cigars used in this locality. He found an almost increditable number of tho new Haymakers 100^ cigars were being consumed every week by smokers.
