FRIDAY, JANUARY 22. 1897.

THIS township trustees at their recent State convention in Indianapolis, indorsed the law requiring the publication of the trustees' reports. A majority, it seems, are not under the thumbs of the supply houses. Sv'.VA:

THE St. Louis Gfobe-Dcmoeraf,"thinks that a typographical error crept into the report that a poor inventor in ::Minnesota has received §7,000,000 for a new rotary engine. The amount must have been S7, which is nearer the average net profits of a needy inventor.

No greater trust exists or more grinding in its exactions than the combine of tbe insurance companies, the sole purpose of which is to keep the rate at the highest notch. While the Legislature has its hand in on trus4s and combines it should include this great monopoly.

IT has remained for Gen. Horace Porter to place on record one of Grant's best expressions. When Gen. Hancock made his assault at Spottsylvania and captured a Confederate division Burnside reported that his right had lost its connection with Hancock's corps. Grant replied in a note: "Push the enemy with all your might that's the way to connect."

RKKIJRIUNG to the fact that during the entire history of Presidential elections in this country in no instance has there been an elector who has cast his vote contrary to his implied pledge of honor. The Boston Advertiser remarks that the county has become accustomed to it and takes it as a matter of course, but it is a matter of "exemplary honor" and deserving of more notice than it receives.

ANDREW CAIINKGIK in the North Amur lean Review for January treats very cleverly of "Mr. Bryan the Conjurer." He reviews satirically the late presidential candidate's campaign theories, «t the same time paying a sincere tribute to his individuality and powers "It need not be assumed," sayB Mr. Carnegie, "that with the passing of Mr. Bryan's new platform there comes also the passing of Mr. Bryan himself on the contrary it is far from improb able that he may yet play a great Dart."

"WHEN you hear a man condemning the Republican party and its victory," says the Rome, N. Y., Republican, alluding to the present condition as the cause of his discontent, "take him aside as a Christian, and ask him if he ever knew of daylight before dawn. The passage of a protective tariff will be the dawn, and prosperity will be the daylight, and until, in the natural -course of human events, wij have this sort of a change, we cannot 'shake off the lethargy of the unfortunate changes of 1S'.)2."

Tine township trustees have voted to ask the Legislature to restore the levy for the support of the schools to 1*6 cents on each $100 of valuation. This is an increase of 5 cents on each S100 over the present levy, and yields Sl,•132,511 on tbe present valuation, against 31,372,279 from the 1(5 cent levy on the old valuation. The levy proposed by the trustees would yield S2,083,090, or SMI, 182 more than is now raised, which is more than a third more than the present tuition tax. The trus tees who went on record in favor of the increase of the State tax did s» because a large part of the rural townships would get 82 of this additional taxation where they paid 81. In fact, many of them would be able to get along without any other tuition tax to support their schools. The present levy is ample and should not be increased.—hialanapolls Journal.

Instead of increasing the State levy it would be much better to reduce it still more, or for that matter wipe it out entirely. It would be just as well to raise the entire amount for the support of schools by a local levy. The Legislature should bear one fact in mind in addition to the point suggested by the Indianapolis Journal and that is that legislation is not intended for the benefit of the State Treasurer.

Tin-: time for holding the election for township trustees under the present law will be in 1898. Senator Early has introduced a bill providing for the election to be held in ll'tOO, thus extending the terms of those now in office two years. It would seem that there has been too much of this kind of legislation. Instead of extending the terras of trustee^ it would be more in the interests of the people to shorten their terms to two years, as in former

SplffC-

(also

true

of municipal officers. There never was any good reason for extending the terms of municipal officers from two years to four years. Everybody knows it was done in tbe interest of peanut politics. All such legislation is vicious and should be condemned. It is to be hoped that Senator Early's bill will find an early grave.

THE Bloomfield News is in favor of changing the manner of electing the county school superintendents and have them elected by the people at their general election, same as all the other county officers. The present trustoes to elect the superintendents next June, to serve two years, and then elect their successors by the voters at the November election in 1898. Then there should be a standard of eligibility, to protect our schools against an incompetent demagogue that might want to impose himself upon the "dear people

No Contract l^et.

The council met Wednesday to let the contract for the sewer tile, but failed to do so. Owing to sickness in his family lUngineer Hoffman had not completed his figures as yet on the the several bids. It was decided, therefore, to postpone further action until next Monday evening when the council will again meet in executive session.

Trouble Ahead.

Lem McMullen, of the Music Hall restaurant, has not yet returned but there will probably be a great howl when he does. Wednesday evening and yesterday his creditors got in somehow and carried off everything in sight. Even the counter and other fixtures were taken, leaving the place as bare as a bone.

Action of the Presbytery.

At a recent meeting of the Crawfordsville Presbytery the Rev. W. IS. Vanderbilt was granted a letter of dismissal to the Presbytery of the City of Mexico, and the pastoral relations of the Rev. D. R.

NATURAL GAS.

SiuperinU'iMlcnt Li-iteh ltoports a Satisfactory Condition of Atl'airs In the GILS Fi»lil.

State Superintendent of Natural Gas, Mr. Leach, submits the following: "The Indiana natural Gas Field, the largest and most productive in the world, has entered its eleventh year. The original natural gas area comprises 2,500 square miles, all of which with the exception of a narrow strip around the outskirts, continues to yield gas in profitable quantities. At At present there are about 2,000 producing wells in the gas territory, yielding an average of 2,000,000 feet of gas daily, or an aggregate output of 4,000,000 feet a day. This, at the modest valuation of 5 cents a thousand,is worth §200,000 a day. To reap the benefit of this cheap fiuel, manufacturing industries, representing many millions of dollars, have sprung up all over the gas territory, the small towns as well as the larger ones being dotted with factories. Besides the gas used in factories located in the field, pipe lines carry the fuel to points outside the area, some of it going into other States. There are twenty-six pipe lines invading the fieid from outside towns, the total length exceeding 1.000 miles, not counting tributary lines. These pipe lines, coming from different directions, are all headed toward the center of the field, una will eventually reach that point by advancing little by little each year, as the supply becomes exausted at the outer edge. The central territory, toward which the pipe lines are advancing, but have not reached, embraces-100 square miles located in the counties of Grant, Madison and Delaware. There are nine pumping stations in the State. One at Red Key, on the Ohio-Indiana line one at Chesterfield, on the Richmond line one near Prankton. on the Manufacturers' line of Indianapolis one at Strawtown, on the Indianapolis Gas Company's line two in Tipton county, on the Lafayette line one in course of construction in Hamilton county, on the Consumers' Gas Trust line, of Indianapolis one in Howard county, on the Logansport line: one at Greentown, on the uhicago line. In the early days of gas there was profligate waste of the ideal fuel, but that has ceased. Evidences of gradual exhaustion have caused manufacturers to stop the unnecessary extravagances and the farmers now realize that the exhaustion of the gas field will materially reduce their income. Many farmers are receiving more from gas rental than from the sale of agricultural product!-. More scientific appliances for transporting and using the gas has stopped another Bvcnue of waste."

X0T GUILTY.

Goben. They were James Coleman, John Nolan, James Kirkpatrick, James Henderson, Ann Nolan, Thomas Quilien and Samuel Miller. All these people said George was a good boy whose Christmas stockings should never contain anything like switches.

Dick Bible, Albert Ames, John and Ben Buck testified that there had for several years been harsh feeling between the (iobens and Tomlinsous.

Jebse Goben, father of George, wns called and gave evidence bolstering up George's alibi. When he was excused it was found to be time to adjourn court for the day.

THURSDAY -MORNING.

The first witness Thursday was Lon Young. He placed the value of that sorrel colt at 8250.

Mrs. Jesse Goben, mother of defendant, was introduced to prove an alibi. George Goben, the defendant, then took the stand and made a very creditable witness, tie stated that he was first solicited to insure by George Rot» inson but denied that he had ever asked 81,000 apiece on the horses, wliicn, however, he valued at S500 apiece. He denied the incriminating part of the conversation with the Taylor boys. They came to his house as represented but the conversation was entirely different from what they swore to. They said that Bud Tomlinson had toM them that Ross had confessed but witness made no comment beyond denying the charge.

Robert Ross testified that Aaron Ross was a professional horseman. John Ames testified that Harvey Taylor said he was working for that S200 reward and as good as had it in his pocket.

The rebuttal testimony of the State was a sort of a Tomlinson family reunion and was designed more to answer insinuations made bj' the defense against the Tomlinsons than to prove the guilt of Goben. THE SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION.

As Vi«»\\iMt by a Resident. of Johannesburg: Writing (o Iiov. N". J. MeCay.

Through the kindness of Rev. N. C. McCay we are permitted to publish an extract from a letter written to him by Mr Wortley Pinkerton, a friend of his now residing in Johannesburg. Mr. Pinkerton is a mining engineer and knew Mr. McCay when they were both inhabitants of Ireland. The letter is dated Dec. 18, JS9G, and the extract is as follows:

We have not yet recovered from the effects of the Jameson raid, and I am doubtful if the country will see a return of prosperity such as was enjoyed before that ill advised event took place, for many years to come. Race hatred existed before that event but it has been intensified one hundred fold thereby. At this present moment there are a section of the Boer people who are all on for declaring their independence in violation of the treaty made at the time Gladstone gave them back their country, for he did in reality give it back to them, for had the British government known that the Transvaal was so rich in the precious metal and other resources, not even a liberal government would have conceded to the Boers their rights at that time. Had the Boer war of 'SI been pushed to a conclusion there is not the slightest doubt but that the union jack would be flying in Pretoria to-day. 1 was in Kimberly in 'SO and '81 and well do I remember with what indignation the British residents in that town received news of the British surrender. Gladstone was burned in effigy and the British flag that had been flying on a building in the market square was hauled down and trampled under foot by an indignant crowd of Britishers. The old time Boer is very ignorant and to this day they believe that they at that time defeated the whole British army and can do so again. Of course the younger people know better together with the President and some of the more enlightened burgers.

The President is quite a preacher in his way and sees the hand of God in everything that makes for their welfare. I send you a paper which will give you an idea of what manner of man the President is. You will see that this part of Africa is not in a very settled state at the present time, but we have become so used to the cry of wolf that until he actually makes his appearance we will take but little heed of newspaper reports. My opinion is that we shall not have any more fighting, but a feeling of confidence will be slowly regained and the progress of the country in developing its resources is out back five years by the events of last year.

Wm. B. McComas, the alleged forger, was released from jail Wedne& day by Mayor Stilwell, who held that the warrant on which he was arrested was faulty. McComas made a bee line for Waynetown when released. He will probably be re-arrested on an other affidavit.

SKNATOIllAI. VOTE.

Mr. Fair bank* Kkotlon Verified In .Taint SenKioii—Applause For His Addrus*. IN DI AX Avor,is. Jan. 21.—All of the formalities necessary to the election of a United States senator wore completed Wednesday in joint session of the general assembly, when the separate vote of the two branches was canvassed and tho result declared. The house vote was: Fairbanks 52, Voorlieos 42, Templet on 5 .senate, Fairbanks 33, Voorhees 16, Templetou 1: total, 149. Mr. Fairbanks was escorted to tho speaker's desk, his appearance being greeted with applause, liis brief address was generously applauded by men of all parties, and at its conclusion an impromptu reception was held in the cloakroom.

Mr. Fairbanks* Athlres* of Accoptuncu, INIHAXAI'OUS. Jan. 31.—In accepting his election to the United State senate Mr. Fairbanks spoke as follows to the joint session of the general assembly: Mr. I'lesiileiit mid (St-tit!r-un*ii of t.Uo Senate and Housti of Houresentatives of Indiana:

I am not hurt'. iudulge in partisan speech, for such would be inappropriate in tliis presence, hut to make acknowledgment. of the high honor you have conferred upou me. From an overflowing heart 1 return you my profoundest gratitude. No honor lies beyond the trustfulness, the confidence oC one's countryuieu. 1 shall accept the commission of tlie state with a full appreciation of lie great, responsibility which its acceptance imposes and with a thorough consciousness of my own inadequacy. I shall enter the senate with but one purpose, and that purpose is to serve the interests of my countrymen, irrespective of condition, to the best of my humble ability. My hope is to bo able to aid iu some small degree in the enactment of such laws as shall promote that sense of stability and .security in our affairs which is essential to our progress and development. An era of prosperity to our country awaits us, and nothing but vicious laws and false policies can avert or retard it. 1 favor upholding the dignity and honor of the government against all comers at any cost: yet I am opposed to any policy which shall lend to involve us ill unnecessary international entanulements and possible war. Our people want peace for it is the mother of prosperity. One of the hopeful, reassuring incidents of the hour is the progress made toward tnc institution ot a high tribunal of arbitration for the settlement, of disputes between the great Anglo-Saxon powers. Such a step is in keeping with the demands of our highest anil best interests it is responsive to the imperative requirements ol Christianity. The strongest government can well lead the way. Our isolation is such, our resources are so limitless, the virtue and patriotism of our people are so acknowledged that wo have, as liismark said of tho new German empire, no power to fear except the. power of Almighty God. We need no frequent display "of our willing ness for war to convince the world ot' our prowess. I believe in commercial conquests—those conquests which shall bring the trophies of peace to the homes of our countrymen of low and high degree.

I enitr the senate as a Republican, a firm believer in the wisdom and soundness of Republican policies. I also believe with President Hayes that "heserves his party best who serves his country best." Upon purely partisan questions! shall uoi iiope for toe approval ot my Democratic iriends, but with respect to the great- majority of questions which are non-politica! trust, I may be able to win some share of their approbation.

For the distinguished occupant of the chair to which yon have called me I have nothing hut sentiments of personal esteem uud good will. Our differences are political, not personal and 1 devoutly wish that health, happiness and many years may attend him."

Again permit me to thank you, and through you, to thank the great, generous constituencies which you represent, for this higii honor.

OFFICE.

W. P. BRITTON.

125J4 East Alaiu Street, Over Moll'ett & Morgan's Drugstore, Crawfordsville, lnd.

1 desire to notify the public that the real estate firm ot Alf. LookabiU & Co. has beeu dissolved. Mr. Lookabiil retires from the lirrn and leaves with me all the coutracth and books of the firm. It ib my desire, as well as my duty, to faithfully comply with all the contracts entered into oy said firm with its patrous, and I Bbali continue the business at the same office heretofore occupied by the firm.

In November, 1894, believing there was a good opening for the real estate business here, and not then desiring to go into the business in my own name on account of other business connections, I requested Mr. Lookabill to take the position of solicitor and salesman iu such a firm. The firm was organized and the business conducted strictly according to arrangements and methods suggested by me at the start. The liberal use of printer's ink. strict business methods and square dealing with everybody resulted in a large business mounting up in sales and trades into the hundreds of thousauds. One of my duties connected with the business was to look after the legal rights of the parties and to see that all sales and trades were closed'up in such a manner as to avoid future trouble between thetn. I congratulate the late firm on the fact that out of the many hundreds of sales and trades not a single instance of litigation has occurred between the parties. I expect to be equally careful iu the future. 1 have oeen in the real estate business here either as agent or on my own account more or less for the last thirty years, and 1 am justified, 1 think, iu saying that I am well posted as to the value of real estate throughout the county and reasonably well qualified to serve the public in this line of business.

No"for6ale" boards or cards will be placed on property unless at the owner's request. All deeds and examinations ot titles as well as all advertising will be free of expense to owners No commission unless a buyer is found or trade made.
