Ben Busse of Evansville is managing the tight to place the major in that high position, one of the best-paying in the government service. The death of Dr. W. W. P. McMillen removes from our midst one of ( the best known meta of the county. His life has been exemplary, his many good traits including honesty, charity, good citizenship, patriotism, kindness and a desire to do things for his ’ friends and his community. Modest and unassuming, he went his way through life, doing his best. What more could be said of any man? This weather may be fine for the average citizen, but the coal men and ice men are having their worries. The price on coal has fallen. That means that the local dealers who purchased a large amount of coal that the people of this territory might be protected, must reduce their price, selling *nt j a loss The reduction was announced today.

Mr. Taggarts' speech is significant, and gives the people of Indiana assurance that the : legislature will do things worth doing, iNo difference what your opinion of ; Tom Tappart has been in the past, you can make up your mind right now that i he is a progressive democrat and as 1 leader in this state he will give the people the laws they wish. It will tie of value to those interested in the control of public utilities to study a bill introduced In the legislature Tuesday by Senator Shively of Marion. This bilY is modeled after the excellent statute now In force In Wisconsin. Evidence of the interest in public utilities that is Being taken in the legislature is found in the announcement that Kepresenatlve Spencer, democratic floor It-pder in the house, also has a bill, which, in all ways, save one, is Identical with that Introduced by Mr. Shively. The Shively bill would enlarge the powers of the railroad commission, so as to take in all public utilities and their associate companies; the Spencer bill, it is understood, will provide for a separate commission.— lndianapolis News.
