THE MILKMAN'S WRATH

IK Aroused Itecauso the State, Hoard Health Meildlea in His AfVuirs.

Indiana's dairymen have arisen in their wrath and declared against the examination of their herds by the state board of health. Each year there is a poking1 and peeping among their cows and dairies. As a result about ten per cent, of the former are pronounced afflicted with tuberculosis and the product of the latter ie condemned. They find everything from toads to animalcule in the milk and altogether mbke it so unpleasant that the dairymen have denounced the practice and say they will no longer tolerate it. Another thing—they absolutely refuse to sanction the use of the pump.

THE STATE IS SAFE.

Partial Bepurt of the Auditor Showing: How the State Dent Is Decreasing,

The auditor of state has filed his re port and recommends some wholesome changes. In it he says that in the past two years the public debt has been reduced $1)220,000, save $38,300 interest. The government has guaranteed the payment of claims for war expenses amounting to $161,961.31.

The report recommends that the present tax levy be retained, that legislation be enacted giving greater power to assessors in the discovery of personal property.

It shows that there has been a de crease in personal property values from 1891 to 1897, of $11,663,431 and ex presses the opinion "that personal property is not bearing its portion of taxation." "The discrepancy between the val ues of diamonds and jewelry worn by the citizens of Indiana and the values on the assessors' book is great," the report observes. "There should be some heroic legislation to reach the taxpayer omitting to return personal property values."

The last legislature increased the compensation for collecting delinquent taxes to 6 per cent. Still further in ducements are recommended.

A law is recommended requiring counties to pay for services of special judges instead of the state. In 1897 Indiana paid $15,440 for special judgeB Again, the auditor says that all state revenues should be paid by the author ities receiving to the treasurer. "Appropriations for maintenance and operating expenses of state insti tutions should be separated," the re port observes, and recommends that the custom of congress be followed appropriating direct to the officer and employe, follow a classification of em ployes according to grade and salary Ifthis recommendation is made a law the state schools will have to accoun in detail for all salaries paid to teach ere. It would have a wide effect the state.

The auditor would have every pri vate organization, such as the state board of agriculture, receiving an ap propriation from the legislature, ac count for the expenditure of it to the auditor on itemized vouchers.

An Assistant Pastor.

RULE.

F. P. Mount, attorney for T. S. Todd & Co., brokers of New York, last Tuesday entered 6uit against J. Walter for $0,500 damages. The allegations in the complaint are substantially as follows: In the summer of 1897 the defendant made three shipments of horses to France, consigning them to his own order. Todd Co received the horseR in New York and transferred them to ships which conveyed them over the water They paid the freight both for rail and ship, and incurred other expenses The horses were shipped 0. O. D. and upon their arrival A. H. Thompson applied for them with Mr. Walter's order. He was unable to secure them without paying the charges, which amounted to about $15,000, and he cabled for an extension. Todd & Co. referred this request to Mr. Walter, who instructed the firm to give the extension. This was done and the horses were taken out by Mr. Thompson and sold. Then

WANT HEAVY DAMAGES- GEN JOHN B. GORDON.

S. Todd & Company, of Now York, Kilter Suit ARHinpt J.J'. Walter For I.nrgo Amount.

Todd & Co. attempted to get their money and were unable to do so. They are still unable to effect a settlement and accordingly bring suit against Mr. Walter for $6,500, the sum with interest and commission which they expended. The transaction was carried on in Mr. Walter's name and he accordingly is the man sued.

Mr. Thompson states that he paid Mr. Walter his part of the proceeds of the sale but that he did not settle with Todd & Co. because the French end of that firm owes him money in excess of the sum he received, and he holds the money as a part payment. Todd & Co. state that they have no branch of their business in France.

Plays and games were entered into with great zest, and the laughter which rang out at intervals would rival silver bells in sweetness. It was gladness magically tuned the voices. Free dom with propriety ruled the home The older heads who were present looked on with pleased faces and sparkling eyes, for they remembered Miss Blanche received many beautiful presents as mementoeB of the occasion one a fine gold ring from her parents Refreshments in abundance were served in due time.

Joke oil tlie Colonel.

Indianapolis News: That was an unkind joke that some of the patriots practiced on John Wingate Saturday night. Mr. Wingate hails from Mont gomery county, and just now is busy coddling Albert J. Beveridge's boom for the senate. Mr. Wingate was told in confidence that a combination was to be formed against his candidate that very night, and ho proposed to be on his guard. At 11 o'clock p. J. Frank Hanly dropped into the Denison. Half anjhourlater, Frank Posey went upstairs regardless of the elevator. -jAt midnight George W. Steele suddenly appeared. Ah, there was the combination! But why go into details. While the senatorial candi dates were snoring in their respective beds at 3 a. m. Sunday morning, the footfalls of the guardian of the Beveridge boom werei heard in the almost deserted office of the hotel. As the cocks crew, the statesman from Montgomery "tumbled" and wont to bed.

A Patent Sprayer.

The machines will be of different sizes, according to the use to which they are put, but Mr. Taylor has not as yet decided where he will manufacture them

FARMERS' INSTITUTES-

I'luiiM For the .Soaumi I.nid Latta.

By Prof. W. C.

Last Monday marked the opening of Farmers' Institutes throughout the state. Six diflvrot institutes opened Monday and continued over Tuesday. With brief interruption during tho Christmas holidays, the reason for holding institutes will continue until about the middle of next February. Plans for the entire seat-oa have been carefully laid by I'rof W. C. Latta, of Purdue, superintendent of institutes, and a complete schedule of the meetings to be held has been prepared, showing that each county in the state will have an institute during the season, and that two speakers are assigned to each meeting. Tho list of asbiguid speakers includes well known men, who have a fund of practical experience which will prove of benefit to others. Among those who will speak at many of the December institutes are the following: Messrs. Cal llusselman,

Auburn, Ind D. B. Johnson, Mooresville H. F. McMahan, Fairfield S. H. Todd, Wakeman, O W. F. Brown, Butler county, O. James Riley, Thorntown E 11. Collins and T. E Bowles, Hamilton county Prof. H. W. Wiley, of the department of agriculture, Washington, C., and Profs. C. S. Plumb, A W. Bitting, H. A. Huston, James Troop and W. C. Latta, of Purdue.

As a result of the conference of institute workers held at Purdue last month, there is an unusual interest on the part of officers arranging for a successful series of meotings. According to present indications, the meetings for the coming season will be more largely attended than ever before. These institutes afford an admirable opportunity for the young farmers to equip themselves more fully for success upon the farm.

BUILDING AND LOAN TAXES.

IlooltB Mint Ho Shown the County AsHeHHor If Demanded.

A county assessor haB the right to inspect the books of building and loan associations to learn whether all the stock therein has been properly listed for taxation, and to obtain a writ of mandamus to compel their production for that purpose. The supreme court reversed the case of the state on relation of the county assessor of Monroe county against the real estate building and loan association, in which the circuit court held that ho had not.

The court says that it is the policy' of this Btate to subjuct all private property to taxation except such held for municipal, educational, literary, religious or charitable purposes as may bo specially exempted by law, and that the county assessors have authority, and it is made their duty, to search for, discover, list and assess all omitted property subject to taxation, and to compel the production of boons and papers needed in conducting his search.
