Candidates for Superintendency Of The Jasper County Schools.

The candidates for the place of county school superintendent are busy. The county board of education, which meets Monday, June sth, will make a selection. There are thirteeh trustees and it will be necessary, for seven to unite on one candidate to elect. The candidates are, so far as learned, Ernest Lamson, L. H. Hamlltop, Ross Dean, Homer Arnold and J. C. Dickerson. * ' * Mr. Lamson has been the county* superintendent for the past four years and is running for re-election on his record. Mr. Hamilton held the office for ten years prior to four years ago. Since that time he 1 has been engaged in other work. He is anxious to get back into educational pursuits and his candidacy is said to have been induced by trustees who knew of his former work with the schools. Ross Dean is a student of well known ability and has made a success in his chosen profession. He secured a college education by alternately teaching and going to Indiana University and his work as the head of the department of history in-the Rensselaer schools has proven him an able teacher, and he meets up to every requirement of good citizenship as do the other candidates for the office.

Homer Arnold is a Barkley township boy, who has taught school and gone to college and who is a high class young* man and would make a good superintendent. J. C. Dickerson is one of the ablest of the candidates, having had long and successful years of experience. The fact that he has been in Jasper county only two years will probably operate against him. Superintendent Sterrett, of the Wheatfield schools, is also said by some to be a candidate. He taught school in Rensselaer several years ago and his work gave general satisfaction. He is credited with improving the grade of the Wheatfield schools and with helping materially to make‘s it a commissioned school. With these able candidates it looks like the county board of education would be able to get a good head for the schools of the county, no matter where their choice fell.

Delphi physicians have entered into an agreement not to give prescriptions for liquor under any circumstances. This seems to explode the claim that liquor is needed as a medicine. If druggists would now do the same it would be easy to line up the bootleggers.

Homer Arnold, son of Charles Arnold, of Barkley township, will be home from Marion Friday, where he has been attending normal. He has had considerable experience as a school teacher, has made a 60 months’ license and is devoted to the cause of education. He is one of the candidates for county school superintendent. ■ * .Pft Diaz has postponed hik resignation another day. This caused a riot and the police had to Are into a howling mob that paraded the streets. Diaz relinquishes his office with a -reluctance that fulfills the old saying: “Officeholders seldom die and never resign.’*

Frank Randle came over from Monon this morning to see his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Randle. He is traveling on the road now. Mrs. Randle has been staying at Monon since the severe sickness of her father, Eli Wood. He is some better now but not yet out of danger.

The only reserved seats for the commencement will be those given out by the graduates, the faculty and the school board. These will be held until 8 o’clock only, and if not occupied by that time will be sold. All holders of reserved seats will please take notice.

A. F. Long and Joe Nagle, accompanied by Dr. Hansson went to Indianapolis last evening and today they drove back a couple of five passenger overland autos. Abe got a 30-borse power car and Joe got one of 40-horse capacity. W. F. Smith aocompanled them to the city and also feturned with hem but did not invest in a car.

The government has sanctioned the establishment of two or three branch employment bureaus, with fat salaries for the manager and his secretary. Another new office is that of chief of the bureau of inspection. The chief has several assistants. The economic governor is filling jobs with faithful democrats, and the taxpayer is the “goat.” ?

Col. Phillips Has Purchased Five Acres of Monnett Home Land.

Fred Phillips has closed a deal for the purchase of five acres of the land that originally belonged to Miss Cordelia Monnett and was deeded by her to the Deaconesses for the foundation of a school for girls. His purchase is for the land in the rear of the Kannal residence, running from College road half way back to the road past the Michael Kanne residence and being just half of the ten acres that the deaconesses owned there. Col. Phillips is understood- to have paid 1210 per acre for the land and it is almighty good value at that figure. If subdivided and sold for 1100 per lot it would bring S6OO per acre and there is no reason why it should not bring S2OO per lot find ready buyers. The pearest corner is within two blocks of the postofflce and three of the court house square. Col. Phillips has not decided positively what he will do with the land. This year he is pasturing some stock there, but next year he will probably build a residence for himself on the best location and probably will subdivide the balance. It is understood that the deaconesses expect to build a substantial, addition to the Monnett School for Girls and to plan for a larger attendance and an increased teaching force for another year.

Kellner’s Hogs Continue to Die; Very Few, If Any, will Be Saved.

Conrad Kellner is surely having tough luck wih his hogs. They were so far gone when the serum treatment was administered by the Purdue veterinarian and Dr. Kannal that little was expected of the treatment. The normal hog temperature is about 100 degrees and every hog tested had seven or more degrees of fever and some of them were so Weak that they would fall over when the serum treatment was administered. Eleven of the hogs died Wednesday and Cooney Is expecting the entire herd to die.

Grown people, who like to hear good lectures, should not fail to hear Dr. S. A. Long tonight, in the address to the graduating class. Admission 25 cents.

What Has Been Doing In Newton County Circuit Court.

At Kentland Monday the famous case against Charles G. Mauzy, of Benton county, charged with graft in connection with road tax matters, was dismissed because of a faulty indictment. It is not probable that the case will get into court again. Tuesday the cases of “Hank" Granger, the Thayer man, were called. He is charged with selling liquor without a license. One of the cases was tried and the Jury were out for thirtv hours but failed to agree. The judge then dismissed the jury and the other cases were continued for the term. The cases against Ed Kirk, which were sent to Newton county on change of venue, were called Wednesday. One of them was continued on motion of the state because of the sickness of the state's principal witness. The defendant was tried on one of the other affidavits and the case went to the jury this Thursday afternoon.

Baseball Team Reorganized and Arrangements Made to Continue.

A meeting of baseball players was held Wednesday evening and all those who have been playing were either present or represented. * It was unanimously decided to ask Frank Kresler to manage the team, and to ask B. J. Moore, George Fafe, W. V. Porter and Herman B. Tuteur to' work with him in perfecting the organization. It is understood that these men are willing to act. George Plunkett, who had started baseball rolling this year, has arranged a schedule for the four ensuing Sundays and it is probable that these dates will be filled. The first game is to be with Remington next Sunday at Remington. An effort will be made to procure a pitcher to remain on the Job all the time.

Sheriff Hoover talked to the writer yesterday afternoon about the incarceration of Clinton L. Bader. The sheriff has been about Jasper county some time and while fiqjloes not find any people who condone the acts of Bader, he does find a great lot of sorrow for him and he finds a great many people who believe that Bader was driven to his low bidding and consequent cheapening of the bridges he built by a combination of other contractors who wanted to get him out of the field. Sheriff Hoover says that he would quickly sign a petition for Bader’s immediate parole and he believes that practically every man in the county would do the same. Sheriff Hoover, told what happened to Mr. Bader. Immediately on entering the penitentiary he was required to take a bath, then his hair was cut, his photograph taken and the Bertillion measurements made, and he was dressed in a convict’s striped suit Every convict is treated the same way. Mr. Bader held up well but he was very broken and downhearted. The prisoners at Michigan City are all given something to do. Binder twine, chairs, shoes and clothing are made, and the institution is a hive of industry. A Classified Adv. win sell it I . ->•• '. ’
