Within the last few years existing conditions have furnished food for thought to many persons. The CONCESSIONS that have been reached appeal to all. The best place to rear a child is in its own home. The next best "place is in another good home. The orphans'home hhould be but the temporary place of reception to prepare the child in mind,imanners and morals for its entrance into a family. .None «xcept children who are wholly dependent should be cared for

this board, together with the-requlre-ments of the new law, have been accepted. Among the general results secured by this board's efforts are: 1. Removal of normal children from POOR ASYLUMS.

homes. "F!

4. Removal of a larger children from public supporji ,to private homes.

5. Visiting of the children on indenture. About one-half of the state agent's time has been devoted to effecting an organization, to superviscry work,consultfttion with public .officials, visiting and inspecting orphans' homes and poor asylums, and in attending to such matters as would best promote the welfare of the work. The remainder has been.devoted, to finding homes ter dependent children from various counties, aud in visiting children placed by him and by the associations,

The total cost to the state of the work thus far has been less than 84,000. Of the 208 .children received from the counties, all but twenty-eight are now off of public support. On the basis of twenty*five cents a day- per child for cafe, the state as a whole is saving at the rate of $18,000 per year as the direct result of twenty-two months of the st&te agent's work. Besides this, through' the organization effected, and the inspiration given, thto orphans' homes have placed even' a greater number than1 this. In tliis- way an additional equally large- amount has been saved or in all an amount in excess of $35,000 annually to the taxpayers. Some of these children had been county charged but for attcSt time, while others had been a public expense for ten or more years.

Miss Park's reputation Q8 a modiste is too well known to need any comment in this announcement and we feel sure her many friends and patrons will be well pleased with her new connection. She will make a specialty of tailored and fancy costumes and backed by such resources as The Big Store will be able to place at her command, cannot fail to please her patrons. Until the completion of our new building she will have temporary quarters in our cloak room, and will be pleased to receive the ladies after March 15.

the circuit court. (3I-. G.:

Richards, a Terre Haute drummer, instituted a slander suit against James H. White, trustee of Madison township. There are two paragraphs in the complaint and in the first Richards alleges that on September 30, 1898, he called on the defendant at Linden in the interests of -a Chicago coal company. He was with him- some time, and when he went to leave Mr. Whitei massed his ten dollar watch charm and at

a roar. He asked the

plaint'FT' if he knew anything abotit it and plainly insinuated that he believed the plaintiff had stolen it while setting' forth the merits of the coal he was trying to Bell. This chagrined and humiliated the plainiff greatly, but he had more trouble in store and ho tells about this in the 6econd paragraph his complaint. He intended to leave Linden on a local freight and boarded this with such intent. While it stood on the track, Mr. Wnite, with Marshal McCorkle, of Linden, appeared and Mr. White pointing out, the plaintiff said to the marshal that he was the man suspected of stealing his charm. He said that he had noticed Richards fooling with it while he talked with him and had every reason to believe that the charm
