A Handsome Home Wedding Consummated lit Yountsville Last Week.

A beautiful home wedding was solemnized at Yountsville last Thursday, April 14, at 8 p. m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. Yount. The marriage was that of Inez M, Ballew and Bert 0. Ilayworth. The receiving party was the host and hostesses, Mioses Eva Hayworth, Bettie Hopping, Eva Love and Jennie Bean. The front parlors were beautifully decorated with potted plants, palms and smilax. While Mrs. Mabel Titus played Mendelssohn's wedding march the wedding party passed to the east parlor, wbete before a mass of bauked llowers the marriage occurred. Rev, M. Williams came fir6t, followed by the bride and groom and the attendants, Miss Lizzie Hopping, and Roy Buser, of New Market. The ceremony was very solemn and impressive and was followed by prayer. During the ceremony the music was noft and sweet. The bride was attired in a white organdie with high neck and long sleeves, trimmed in silk mull and ribbon. Instead of llowers she carried her Bible tied with white ribbon. In her hair were orange blossomsfrom Mrs. Nettie YountDebbo of Florida, and white carnations After the cc-remony the bridal party passed directly to the dining room, which was beautifully decorated with flowers and plants. White ribbons were passed from the ceiling to the four corners of the table and tied in large bows. The table was decorated with smilax. The refreshments were very dainty. At the dining room Mrs. Charlie Ivritz, Mrs. Albert Yount. Misses Stella Hills and Emma Bailey, Mrs. Mollie Layson, Miss Lelia Simpson and Mrs. Wm. Sidener assisted. In another room, near a bank of palms, Miss Bell Keys and Miss Grace Sweeney served punch. The favors were given by Miss Zjrnoh Stonacker and Artie Beckner. In an other room decorated with plants, palms, magnolias and orange blossoms the presents were displayed. There were a great many and they were very beautiful. This marriage is the result of a long courtship and the young people have the congratulations of the community and best wishes for their future. The bride has made hosts of friends wherever she has gone and the groom is well esteemed. They go immediately to housekeeping in Yountsville, where the groom has a position in the woolen mills. The second dress of the bride is a beautiful light blue cloth trimmed in braid and silk. Over a hundred guests were present. Those from a distance were: The father and mother of the groom, from Lafayette: Mr. and Mrs. O. Ballew and daughter, of Alamo: Miss C. C. Sallust, Styles ville: Mr. and Mrs. C. Easley, Mrs Fannie Rakestraw. John Buser, Roy Buser, Art Buser, Tom Clark, New Market: Miss Josie Denman, Covington Misses Emma Bailey, Stella Hills, Mary Yount, Carrie Eller, Mrs. Mollis Layson, Mrs Jennie Bean, Mr. and Mrs. M. Beckner and son, Mr. and Mrs J. Hanley and son, Mr. and Mrs Andrew Yount and children, Mr. and Mrs. W. Titus, Mr. and Mrs. J. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. R. McMains, from Crawville.

Owing to the severe illness of Miss Clara Bailey, of the city, she was unable to act as one of the bridesmaids as had been expected.

A horse attached to a carriage broke loose and ran over the hills and hollows but was caught before doing serious damage. It belonged to Dick Hopping. The horses which were to the hack from the city became frightened as they were starting for home and ran over a stone. Nothing was broken but Mrs. M. Beckner fainted and was taken home in a serious condition.

HAYWORTH-BALLEW. A MODERN CITY CHARTER.

The Need of It For Indiana Cities—Tlie Responsibility Should lie Centered 111 the Mayor—Suggestion For a Xun-

Partisan Commission.

In respect to the reorganization of the government of cities and towns in this State, the task is quite easy as compared with the subject of county ana township reform. The light of experience has settled the more important points. Perhaps more than fifteen years ago the best authorities on municipal government in this country agreed that the English plan of city government, which has always prevailed throughout the United States, by which all legislative aad administrative powers of the city were vested in a common council board of aldermen, was unsuccessful. They further agreed that the federal plan, with separation of legislative from administrative powers, which had sue ceeded so admirably in national and state governments, should be extended to the government of cities. Accordingly the experiment was tried in numerous cities with great success.

In 1S90 Indianapolis through her Commercial Club and Board of Trade, took up this question for herself At the request of a joint committee of citizens from the above organizations and from the city government, the writer became a draughtsman of a reform charter for the city of Indianapolis. The citizens' committee above mentioned devoted nearly a year to the revision and examination of the provisions of a new law for the government of the city. This charter became 6 law in 1891 and has proven a most satisfactory piece of legislation. The Supreme Court has upheld the law as valid whenever it has been questioned. Under it the tax rate of Indianapolis has decreased from 90 cents to 00 cents, s.nd a great improvement in the conduct of public business has taken place. In 1893 the cities of Evansville and Ft. Wayne also procured the passage of reform charters, adopting the Indianapolis law with a few changes in detail. The only task, therefore, which awaits other cities and towns in Indiana in respect to changes in their organization, is to prepare legislation in which the same principles are applied to smaller communities.

To begin with, the legislative power of the city should be vested in a common council, possessing powers which are possessed by thejcouncil under the Indianapolis law of 1891. The powqr of the council should, however, be subject to the check of a mayor's veto. Further, in respect to fixing the taxlevy and making of appropriations, some oflicer of the city, hereafter spoken of, should each year be re quired to submit detailed estimates of the various appropriations for the coming year. The council's power should extend to approving or reducing these estimates, but not to increasing them. The administrative business of the city should be taken away from the council entirely and vested in separate officials. In small towns the mayor should constitute the sole executive official of the place. He should act as comptroller, submit estimates to the council, and within the limits of money appropriated by the council, make contracts for public work. This scheme of government is applicable only to the small towns of the State. In the case of larger places provisions should be made in the law for the institution of one or more executive boards, to be appointed by the mayor, to conduct public business. Indianapolis, under her law, has a finance department, at the head of which is the comptroller, a board of health and charities of three members, a board of public works of three members, a board of safety of three members. All of these are appointed by the mayor and subject to removal by him. The council may also impeach any city official and remove him from office. The laws to enacted should be elastic, allowing cities to exercise their own option by way of ordinance, or, still better, by popular vote, as to when they will authorize the mayor to institute any one or more of these boards instead of performing the work himself. It is a question of the size of the community, of the volume of public business, and of the relative expense caused by increasing the number of officials. But the principle is the same in all cases. The mayor is the executive bead of the city. Whether he performs the work himself or whether he leaves it to one or more assistants to do the public work, which should be optional with the various cities and towns of the state. If, however, a city should elect to institute a board of public works, then the law should explicitly define the powers and duties of such a board when instituted, just as fully as is done in the Indianapolis charter. The 6ame thing would be true if a small city should prefer to have one commissioner of public works instead of three. All of these executive officers, however, would be strictly limited in their power to incur liability for the city or town by the amount of money which had been appropriated for the purpose by the council. The council, being the popular body, should hold,the purse strings. By this plan the two departments of the city gov-

iicn co

jtou

ernment mutually check each other and secure economy and efficiency. The judicial powers of a city or town which desires to adopt a reform chartter should be taken away from the mayor entirely and placed in the hands of an independent magistrate, exercising power now exercised by justices of the peace and mayors.

I strenuously insist that this work of municipal reform ought to be undertaken by a commission acting in behalf of the whole state. It will be an incalculable mischief as well as unnecessary labor if each city and town in the state prepares its own charter and has a special act, of the legislature, with such an artificial classification as to exclude other places. These matters should be settled by general laws, embodying elastic provisions which leave a large room for local option in respect to adopting the various features of the law in the particular community interested. Special or local laws are too subject to amendment and change to be very^available or permanent. When the Indianapolis members of the legislature ask for a series of amendments to our charter it is necessarily treated as a local matter and goes by consent in the legislature, with little or no public knowledge or investigation. Much more true is this cf places which are located at a distance from the capital of the state, whereas, in the case of a general law, no private clique or ring would be likely to secure an improper amendment to a law in which so many communities were interested. If we go forward with separate laws for each municipality in the state, we will have our statute books encumbered beyond measure and the resulting legislation will not be the best, nor the most successful.

In concluding these articles, which are merely suggestive of possible reforms in our local government, I venture to repeat that suitable legislation on these subjects can only be properly undertaken and prepared by a nonpartisan commission. For this pur pose a bill was introduced in each of the last two legislatures authorizing the governor to appoint such a commission At the session of 1897 it passed the House but was defeated in the Senate. The efforts of all good citizens, irrespective of party, who believe that our antiquated forms of 1 ocal government should be improved and modernized and made more effici ent and more economical, ought to be directed to the creation of a commission for the study of the whole subject and the preparation of suitable bills to be submitted to the legislature.
