NO MORE EXEMPTION.
Saturday Was the Last Day toJTake Advantage of tlie Exemption Law.
Saturday was the last day on which taxpayers could take advantage of the recently pa&sed law concerning the taxation of real estate encumbered by a mortgage, and the auditor's office was filled throughout the day with persons anxious to file statements of the indebtedness on their property, in order to be exempted from a part of their taxes next year.
The law expressly 6tates that such statements shall be tiled between the first day of March and the first day of May of each year, and the attorney general of Indiana has notified the auditors of the,Estate that Saturday., April 29th would be the la&t day for this work. Consequently many who had neglected to file statements of the amount of mortgage indebtedness did so Saturday. At least 300 statements were fited Saturday by tardy taxpayers
All those who have failed to take advantage of the exemption law can not do EO now, as the time set by the law has passed. Many peisons will doubtless want to file statements of indebtedness this week, but the auditor can not grant the privilege, as he has no authority to extend the time prescribed by law. This will probably be a disappointment to many persons, but the county authorities are powerless in the matter.
Oppose It.
The township trustees are very much opposed to the operation of the newjj law in regard to the transfer of school children from ore cschool corporation to another. It is regarded as a scheme of city school corporations to impose a tax burden upon the people of the C9untry ^school corporations. It is quite ture that the law was not prepared by township trustees, and it is a law that some ofjthe legislators now say that they voted for because school peoph -,t Indianapolis had told them that it was all right, and they had taken tbem at their word without even readfng the law and it is one of the law6 which was slid through the mill while the great "reform" howl was booming.£ Now we have the transfer law standing thus: The school corporation which transfers school children is required to pay the school corporation to which the transfer is made, the sum of 81.50 a month for each child in the common school branches, and $5 for high Echool work. Thus it will be saen that if 100 children are transferred for the common echool branches it will cost the township making the transfer 3150 per month or 81,350 for a nine months' term. This would require a levy of from 4 to 7 cents upon each $100 of taxable property to pay, and this is what the township trustees are complaining about. High school pupils would require just double the amount as required in the common grades. Thus the country people would be taxed to keep their own school going and to get their children educated, and at the same time be required to pay for the education of transferred children to city corporations. This is considered by the townBhip trustees as radically wrong and an injustica to people of the country, and in some counties the trustees have refused to make a single transfer. The trustees of Montgon ery county have not as yet granted a single transfer, and there is every indication that they are not going to be in any great hurry to do so. The townships that will be mostly effected by this transfer law are, Union, Franklin, Brown, Scott, Clark and Wayne and unless some kind of an agreement can be made satisfactory to the township trustees of these township and the several town school corporations, there is not any immediate danger of these town schools being overflowed with transferred pupils. Indeed the prospects seem very bright for each township to make proper arrangements for taking care of its o*n children without making any tranfers, even if new school houses have to be erected or pupils transported to central poin.te.
Under the former transfer law, the property of transferred families was entered for taxation in the Bchool corporation to where the children were transferred and such a corporation also got the state school revenue on each transferred child. TRUSTEE.

The Britton vs. Harwood case came to a close in Stilwell'a court late last Thuisday, the court finding for the defendant Harwood. The 6uit was for 880 alleged to have been owed for stuff taken from the farm of Britton by the tenant Harwood and the evidence showed that the tenant had done work enough to offset the bill.
THE ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords ia alone worth man? times its cost. For Bale by Nye & Booe, druggists.
THE TWO VETS.
THE YOUNU VET.
I Sell you.' .was a hot one dad, I think 1 soe it jit, Down there at Santiago—my how thev shot and tit. See dad, we. charged El Caney, and thon we charged San Juan, Agin them Spanish breastworks, all our generals lookin' on. And when we got them trenches, the dead was lyin' thick. But them Spaniards bad to git and hunt their holes right quick. Itaintnouse o'talking, since boin' in that fight, Beats all them battles you was In, away out of sight.. See dad, you had no muskets that would kill a tnan two mile. No quick (ire guns, a throwin' bombs, and poppln'all the while. And then you see, that in your ime, it didn't take the grit That all us fellers had to have to take a rillo pit. I've heard you tell a lioap about the courage of theui rebels, But they was not a circumstance to tlghtin'
Spanish devils.
I'll tell you dad that it wai great the way tliemSpanish lit. Until we charged right on to them, and then they had to git.
THE OLD VET.
No doubt my boy, that was a sight to please the soldier's eye, 'Twas a mighty lively skirmish, that no one will deny. Perhaps we might just call it a re-con-issanco in force, And when them Spanish run away, you took their works, of course. We didn't call them ba'tles. it wa'nt that way with us, Unless we had more killed than in all that
Spanish muss.
There was many a fracas in our war that history barely mentions, Where more was killed and wounded than in all them Spain contentions. It's well enough to talk BUCII stuff 'bout tlghtin' Spanish devils, But thank your star that you was there, Instead of flghtin' rebels. I'm glad you had that picnic.it shows the grit you had. Ana sorto' makes me proud to think that you are like your dad. You now can see what I told you has always been the truth About that old rebellion war, that happened in my youth. That little taste you had, my boy, of guns and cannon's rattle, Will brace your nerves around the curves of life's uncertain battle, And when they talk of Cuba, and how them
Spanish fit,
Just mention kind o'modest like you had a hand in it. But don't you git to braggln'. and never, for you can't. Make light of battles fought by Sheridan,
Sherman, Grant.
Don't you talk big to soldiers that saw four years of war, For they may call you down and you'll see how small you are. The olo boys alnt a sayin' much, but ihey keep up a thlokin', And when thev git together they'll do some sly old winkin'. When readln' In the paper of that fuss, about the ration The embalmed beef, and contract tbief that's troublln' this nation, We well remember in our war we seldom tasted beef, And as for other rations the list was very brief. We.just had i,incoln coffee, sowbelly and hardtack, And sometimes that became so scarce we barely got a snack. Tho'them that wore the blue and gray have got to be old cronies. There alnt no soldiers in the world BO hard to whip as "Johnnies", And if they had been behind them works at
Santiago bay,
'Stead o' braggln' here tn me you'd be flghtin' there to-day. —Will A. Ryan in T. P. A. News Letter.
A Remarkable Perversion of Law,
1
To the Editor of the Journal. Congress at its last session was flooded with petitions from thousands of the best people of the nation, including fathers and mothers of soldiers in the army, praying the abolition of the "army canteen." In response thereto, congress passed the following law with a unanimity almost unparalleled in the history of legislation viz: "That no officer or private soldier shall be detailed to sell intoxicating drinks as a bar tender or otherwise in any post, exchange or canteen, nor shall any other person bp rei/uired or allowed to sell such liquors in any encampment or post or any premises used for military purposes by the United States Could language be plainer or more comprehensive? No officer or private soldier nor any other person shall be required or allowed to Bell such liquors on the premises thus designated Yet in the face of these plain provisions of the law, AttorneyGeneral Griggs has decided that the prohibitive feature of the law applies only to "army officers and private soldiers," and because it thus prohibits them from selling liquors, it therefore allows civilians to sell such liquors in the places thus designated by the law. Now if a civilian is not a "person," the attorney-general's logic is good, but if a civilian is a "person" then it is bad. As the law declares that "no other perton shall be allowed to sell" it is manifestly clear that it was the intention of the law to prohibit the sale of liquors, not only by army officers and private soldiers, but by all other persons.
Judge Noah Davis, of New York, characterized this decision as one of the most "remarkable perversions of law in legal history." Why this perversion of the law? Did justice demand it? Was it done in the interest of "civilization or humanity?" Or was it a vain attempt to satisfy the insatiable demands of corporate greed?
If the "canteen" is a good thing, why prohibit the army officer and the
private soldier from using it? If it is a bad thing, endangering the health of the soldiers or the discipline or efficiency of the army, why should not all "persons" as well as "officers and private soldiers" be prohibited from using it in or about the army VVith the exception of General Egan. the leading generals in the army are opposed to it, both houses of congreb6 are opposed to it, the President, who signed the bill abolishing the canteen, is opposed to it. Yet with a full knowledge of these facts, the attorneygeneral assassinated the law, as tve believe, in the interest of corrupt politics.
Ia the fourteenth century, under Leo X, indulgence* to commit crime, wcro authored by the Vatican of Rome in tho nineteenth century, under President McKinlcy, indulgences to commit crime are granted by the authority of the government of the United States. Such is progress

According to the laws of good society in China, young widows should not remarry. Widowhood is therefore held in the highest esteem, and the older the widow grows the more agreeable her position becomes. Should she reach 50 years she may, by applying to the emperor, get a sum of money with which to buy a tablet, on which her virtues are named. The tablet Is placed over the door at the principal entrance of her h'ouse.
