LOST
THOUGHT HORSE.
OUTFIT WAS FOUND
Nisbet Befriended a Stranger and Was Robbed by the Man Who Has Gone.
Yesterday evening Miss Anna Bishop of Son th Fourteenth street engaged a lior.se and buggy of James X. Hickman, 1he liveryman and undertaker, and went to call upon Miss Mae Helmer of North Seventh street. While she was at Miss Helmers home the horse b.oke its hi tellings and strayed away, leaving the driver and owner with no clew whatever as to the. whereabouts. Several Western Vnion messenger boys were employed to track I he animal hut, after going southwest to Prairietown gave, up the search on account of the bad roads. This morning Harley Hickman took up the pursuit. Jfe followed the Prairietown road to four miles south of Prairietown and found the rig had gone east. As the horse had ben purchased in Farmersburg only about three months ago he decided that it had returned home and telephoned to the former owner. The reply was that the horse and buggy were at Farmersburg, safe and sound. The only damage done in the long trip without a driver was the loss of one cushion. The librse and buggy were uninjured.
J. A. Nisbet, the undertaker, is somewhat anxious about the disappearance of one Harry King, whom he had befriended. About two weeks ago King, who is a man past, the middle age. came to Mr. Nisbet and told a hard luck story. He Mils given his meals and some clothes and allowed to stay about Nisbets store ftr what, assistance he could be. All went well until things commenced disappearing. Then King suddenly left and hits not been heard from since. In the sjibrl lime he was with Nisbets he stole tj^iie-'i,saws, a plane, hammer, screwdriver, square and some other tools, pawning them and having a good time on the nionev received.

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE
Catarrh Is Found Everywhere. .patiU'rh is at hoir.? anywhere and every .vliere. While more common in cold, .•huHgeablc climates, it is by no means •6'fiiitleft them, but is prevalent in :very st.ato and territory in the union.
The common delinition of catarrh is chronic cold in the head, which if ong neglected often destroys the sense smell and hearing but there are nanv other form.- of the disease even iiore obstinate and dangerous.
Catarru of the throat and bronchial ubes as well as catarrh of the stomach nd liver are. almost as common as a sab catarrh and generally more difli-

Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood disease nd can only be successfully eradicated an internal treatment. Sprays, washand powders are useless as far as caching the real seat of the disease is •neerned.
Dr. Mclverney advises catarrh sufTcrrs, to use a new preparation, sold by I'uggists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tab•tsj because actual analysis has shown icse tablets to contain certain nntiiplie qualities of the highest value and •ing an internal remedy, pleasant to IO taste, convenient and harmless, can -used as freely as required, as well children as for adults.

COMMENT ON THE ACTION OF TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Self's Case Will Hardly Be Reconsidered, Says Congressman Hol.iday. Instructions Come Along.
A Washington special to the Indianapolis Journal says: "D. F. De Baun, employed in the revenue office at Terre Haute, will be allowed to keep h'is place. The solicitor of the treasury yesterday decided to dismiss the charges against De Baun and not molest him. The charge, against De Baun was collecting money in the way of political assessments, being preferred. by the civil-service board. In dismissing the case against De Bnun the solicitor sounds a warning to other employes in Mr. Bonnell's revenue district. As to Do Uaun, the solicitor found that while there were strong suspicions of eireum stanfial evidence against the accused, there was contradictory testimony. The solicitor said he did not think the evidence he had before him would warrant the dismissal of the accused. As a result of the findings, the secretary of the treasury has addressed a letter to Collector Bonnell in regard to the matter. The collector is requested to urge on his employes the importance of conducting themselves hereafter in a way that will not place theni under the slightest suspicion of violating the civil-service laws. The secretary also calls the collector's attention to the fact that this case has been one of considerable embarrassment to the department, and it is hoped it will not be necessary for the department to turn its attention to a like investigation again.
Representative Holliday who has been devoting considerable time to the case against De Baun, was well pleased tonight to learn that De Baun would not be removed. Mr. Holliday contended that De Baun had not committed an offense serious enough to justify his dismissal. The case grew out of the investigation of the office under Mr. Henry, wherein it was alleged political assessments were collected. Mr. Self, an employe of the office, was dismissed because of Ins reluctancy to give testimony in the case. Mr. Holliday said tonight he hardly believed self would be reinstated.
The Indianapolis Sentinel saysK '"The De Baun case was a nightmare to the treasury department officials for several long months. The question of severing De Baun from his twelve-hundred-dollar job caused no qualms of conscience in the minds of treasury officials insofar as De Baun was concerned, but there WHS a vital precedent involved, and that was whether or not the civil service commission was to be allowed to dictate removals from office whenever it chose to prefer cliarges against any person who might have been engaged in collecting political assessments. The treasury officials were very loath to ,deld such power to the commission, and for that reason the De Baun case, has been sent from pillar to post about the treasury building, referred and re-referred, cogitated over in the daytime and dreamed about at night until the treasury officials are sick and tired of it. Once they thought to shift the responsibility to the president and sent the pa.pers to the white house, but quickly they came back with a messatre from the president which had no uncertain sound and which clearly meant that it was up to the treasury officials to fish or cut bait."

LOCAL FINALLY PLAYERS FETTLE TODAY
NORMALS EXPECT TO VANQUISH PARIS GOAL THROWERS
Kimmel Expects to Carry Off Honors When Teams Clash Tomorrow Night
With his men in the pink of condition Physical Director J. P. Kimmell, of the Indiana State Normal school expects to win the basket ball gajue at Paris, Ll., tomorrow night, by an easy margin.
The players have been working for several- weeks and every night this week were given team practice in the Normal gymnasium. Much is staked on the first regular game of the season and unless Paris High school places a magnificent team against the 1. S. N. the home boys will carry off the honor?. Every player has had a chance to become a good basket ball player and eight or ten excellent basket ball men have been developed.
It is the intention of Prof. Kimmell to play the regular team, Mangel centcr: l'clle and' Spencer forwards and Harris and Vawter guards, in the first half, but if the Paris five proves "easy money" the three subs, C'ushing, Stopher and PoPpe will be used the latter part of the game.
Manager Henry is arranging to meet the Hymera team at Hvmera on Jan. 10 and a practice game probably will be played with the Normal on Jan. 17. The first big game of the season will be with Purdue University in the Normal gymnasium on Jan. '24. It will be a chance to se how near the Normal stands in the state championship race.
The Y. M. C. A. team will have its last practice in the old gym this evening, putting on the finishing touches for the game Saturday night with the Rose Poly boys.

Caustic Editorials Are Now Appearing in the Journals in Capital of Spain.
MADRID, Dec. IS.— The local press today gives utterance to most violent expressions against the American government for the neutral attitude which it is maintaining toward occurrences in Venezuela. A good sample of these editorials is the one printed in the important Repub liean paper, EI Pais. The paper says: "Just as the meanoess and brutality of England and Germany Irritate, so the cowardice and duplicity of the United States na.useate, for the American government puts behind its back at this juncture the Monroe doctrine, which was used against Spain because we had no warships, cannon or millions of money, such as England and Germany command."
