Boyers as a member of the Indiana state board of health has caused general satisfaction here, where he is known so well, and where his qualifications for the place are well understood. The doctor is at present in California, but it is presumed and hoped that he will accept this place of high honor. He is peculiarly fitted for the place, being a firm believer in the things preached and taught and urged by the board, and his sound ideas along these lines will prove beneficial to that now very necessary part of the state's government. He is a splendid gentleman, a well qualified physician, a student of all things pertaining to his profession and to the general welfare of his community, a doctor who tboulg old in experience, believes in keeping up to date, and who still goes to school at regular intervals. His appointment at this time, coming unsolicited, is a recognition of his ability that any man night well be proud of —and it again places Decatur on the map. The health board is one of the most important of the state. Its members are ( often quoted on affairs of deepest in-1 terest, and Dr. Boyers will prove a most capable officer. George K. Trask, for years the rail-' road editor of the Indianapolis Star, and Journal, and for forty years the railroad correspondent of the Amei- ( can Press, the oldest active reporter in the United. States, died at Indianapolis yesterday. He was a lovable man, of whom it was said "he whistled his way into your confidence,” and did it ever occur to you that a man who whistled continually is a happy individual, good to meet? Mr. Trask began his newspaper career when in middle life, but he made good and his items were of interest to the many over the state. Root’s amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill was defeated by an almost unanimous vote last evening. It

It believed that the bill will now pass without amendments which will seriously affect it. Immediately after the vote was taken a resolution was prepared fixing the dates for voting on the reciprocity bill for July 24th, the farmers' free list bill, July 25th and the wool bill July 26th. This would mean the close of the special session by August Ist. Objections to this plan are being made, however, and it may not be accomplished. The tramps arrested Saturday night are to earn their board, as they will be worked upon the streets, under guard. This may help some. If these fellows understand that when picked up here they will have to put in about ten hours a day, they will shun us completely and consistently.
