The Child Saving Agency Saves Indiana About $200,000 a Year.
Since the establishment of the childsaving agency in connection with the state charities board, April 1, 1897, the agency has placed 716 children. Of these 547 have remained in home? selected and have been removed from public care. The agency takes great pride in its record, which was reported to the board of charities Tuesday. Before the passage of the law, the average length of time a child remained in an orphans' home \as 36 months. Now it is a fraction over 20 months. Figuring on 1,625 children in orphans' homes, the state saves more than $200,000 a year in maintenance alone.
The board is strictly enforcing the law against the importation of dependent children. Boards of other states are not allowed to bring children into Indiana unless they furnish bond that they shall not become public charges. This is working like a charm, and there arej very few outside children paupers admitted. A report, which was published not so very many years ag0| shows that the state took in 3.700 dependent children from New York one year.
The agency follows the children even after they are placed, and, if it is found that they are not well treated, they are returned to the orphans' home from which they came.

Crop Bulletin.
1
The weekly report of the department of agriculture for the week ending April 29th, gives the following summary of conditions in this state:
Cool weather and rains until the 24th were followed by warmer, fair and sunny weather. Wheat, rye, clover, timothy, pasturage and meadows improved much and are in fine condition. Oats and barley are nearly all sown oats are coming up nicely in some fields. The ice and frost on the 19th aad 20th did but little damage, as in many orchards, peaches, plums, cher ries, and apricots are in bloom, and ot.her fruits are swelling a few tomato plants were injured in the northern portion. Most gardens are made and nearly all of the early potatoes planted. Plowing lor corn was delayed by rains, but advanced rapidly during the latter part of the week in a few fields corn has been planted. Sheep shearing began in the southern portion. Floods in the Ohio river bottoms destroyed much of the wheat.
Effect of Waveland's New Saloon. Rockville Tribune: Sugar Creek made a peculiar rise last Weduesday. From 10 to 5 o'clock it rose 18 inches and the water continued as clear as a crystal. Fred Stebbins who crossed the creek at the ford below the dam at Fleishhauer's mill in the morning, had a hard time crossing in the evening when he returned. Noticing the clear water he did not expect to find the ford dangerous and drove in. At one place his horse had to swim and the buggy was submerged. Some canned goods and groceries he had bought in Waveland were washed down the stream. The peculiar feature of the rise was that the creek did not begin to get muddy until Thursday mornine, when it began to fall.

Should Be Turned Down.
A young man named Canine is circulating a remonstrance to defeat the paving on Green and Main streets. He claims that personally he thinks the paving should be done but that, he is being paid to circulato the remonstrance by people who do not wish to be known in it. A man ashamed to openly oppose public improvements is certainly in small business to hire another man to do so and the property holders will do well to give a curt refusal when called upon. The improvements are badly needed and should be put through without further delay. Crawfordsville's streets have long been to her discredit and the sooner they are improved the better. The business boom inaugurated in Crawfordsville this spring can be easily punctured by a few such anti-progress plays as this paving remonstrance.
Our New Coin.
The new 3 cent piece soon to bo issued by the government has already been styled the "doughnut coin" by reason of the fact that the piece is to have a hole in the center. This innovation in the coinage of a part of Uncle Sam's money was deemed necessary from the fact that the now coin is the exact siz« and of the same material as is the present five cent piece.-

THE LIBRARY PLANS.
W. F. Sharpe's idea Is Agreed Upon By the Committee on Construction.
Wednesday the committee appointed to construct the new Carnegie library met and considered plans submitted for the new building. The set of plans submitted by W. F. Sharpe was agreed upon and Mr. Sharpe was accordingly contracted with. He is the architect of the now Masonic temple which will be in course of erection just across tho street as the library building goes up and will virtually camp between the two places.
As usual some minor modification will doubtless be made in the plans adopted, until the very best possible result is obtained. The plan is for a building 66-foot front on Washington street at the water table line, and 96 feet on Wabash avenue. The building is to be oi Oolitic lime stone, is one story and has a high basement. The principal entrance is from Washington street and is a very imposing one. Although but one story high the roof finals are higher than any portion of Masonic temple, across the street. Tho cornice will be of copper and the roof of copper or tile. In the principal entrance vestibule are two niches for statues or busts. The floors are of marble mosaic. The reading rooms are of equal size, one on either side of the hall. The librarian commands a view over each entire room. The stock room is in the rear and provides for 20,000 volumes, six shelves high, and the ceiling is high enough for an additional 20,000 volumes when the second deck is put in, some years hence. This room is well lighted both by sky lights andlside lights.
A secondary entrance is at the center on the Wabash avenue front and in the rear of this entrance are the janitor's room, t-uperintendent's and board's room and librarian's room. In the basementpare tho teachers' assembly room, school supply room, toilets, unpacking and catalogueing room. In the basement also are the usual provisions for heating und ventilating with fuel room, etc. Tho building will be one of handsomest in the state The lot will be graded up three feet from the side walk and will be surrounded by a cement wall.
