Accountants Report Marion Township Affairs All Right

The report of the state accountants, Ure M. Fraser and Thad L. Major, who were here the first of the year checking over the accounts of the township trustees, has been filed with H. W. Wood, Sr., president of the Marlon township board of advisors. It reports the affairs of the township to be scrupulously guarded by a capable and honest trustee, naming H. E. Parkison. The report is to be made public and can be seen by any person who cares to look it over at the trustee’s office.) So far as has been learned here, the report of no other trustee has been filed, it has been known for some time that in Union township, a check mystery has been the cause of a great amount of discussion. According to report. Trustee Kight issued a duplicate warrant .to L. Z W. Benbow, in the sum of $45, as Mr. Benbow had lost the original check. The accountants discovered that the original check had been cashed as well as the duplicate and when Mr. Benbow’s attention was called to the fact, he promptly took up th 6 check and instituted proceedings to find out how the first one was cashed. The mystery has deepened into a. real sensation but no one is thought to be iptentionally to blame in the matter and Mr. Benbow has saved the township from loss by promptly making settlement.

30,000 Employees to Be Beneficiaries of Pension Plan

For many months a committee has been compiling statistics for the purpose of inaugurating a pension plan for the benefit of the employes’ of the Western Union Telegraph Co. The devising of a plan ftr this purpose has not been an easy task in view of the diversity of their occupations and the expense incurred to the company being very heavy. The company believes that all employes who have given years of faithful service are entitled to some finan-cial-protection against the necessity of retirement and this plan for material assistance to its disabled employes makes an expression of appreciation on the part of the company. The lowest pension allowance is to be $25 per month and no pension under this plan shall exceed SIOO pel month.

Crow Bounty Proving Big Expense in White County.

White county baa paid out $316 in crow bounties since the first of the year. As only S2OO had been approppriated.tbe county council had to appropriate S3OO more and now only >lB4 is left. The county council does not look favorably on paying a bounty of 10 cents and have petitioned the commissioners to reduce the bounty to 7 cents pgr crow. The White County Democrat publishes the following in connection with a discussion of the crow bounty situation: "Crow, hawk, wildcat, wolk, bear and fox bounties are no new thing, however, the plan having been tried in nearly all the states of the union for the purpose of getting rid of these pests. The state of Maine, the most easterly state of the country, now pays a bounty of $5 on bears and wolves and $2 on wildcats. As far back a? 1830 the legislature of Maine sought to rid the state of crows through paying a bounty, but when $15,000 w§s paid out in a short time, the plan was abandoned as too expensive."

WINAMAC ATTORNEY DIED FROM HODGKIN’S DISEASE.

M. M. Hathaway, Who Was Associated With Clinton Bader, Succumbed to Disease Wednesday, Medary M. Hathaway, a Winamac attorney well known in Rensselaer, and who was associated with Clinton L. Bader in the bridge manufacturing business and one of his attorneys when Bader was tried in this county, died in an Indianapolis hospital Wednesday afternoon from what is known as Hodgkin’s disease, described as being an enlargement of the lympathic glands and progressive anaemia. It usually means death, but the hope was maintained up to within a few days before he died that it would prove to be a goiter and would submit to treatment. The Pulaski County Democrat says: On Friday the good report of the cay before was offset by the news that the patient’s stomach had gone back on him and that he was very restless —both Hodgkin symptoms—and fear was intensified. These conditions never improved. The victim steadily grew worse. Unconsciousness followed earjy Tuesday morning and was present until his death some 33 hours lat.er at 3:50 Wednesday afternoon, the last 20 hours of life being attended by a temperature of 105. “Hodgkin” had done its'work. The, inflamed an ll , constantly enlarging glands of the neck and breast had forced the heart downward and enlarged at also, and this condition at last stopped its action forever.

Monon Stone Crusher Co. Improving Their Plant

Monon News. : The Monon Crushed Stone Co. has received an engine and seven cars, which was purchased in Chicago, to be used by the plant. Two acres of ground will be stripped and about one mile of track will be laid to convey the dirt where it will be dumped. After this work is completed, the cars will be used in conveying stone from the quarry to the crusher. The enlargement of the plant begun last fait has been hindered by delay in transit of building material, a carload of heavy framing timbers having been on the road over a month and has not yet arrived. When the improvements are completed the crusher will have a capacity of 2,000 yards per day, instead of 500 as at present.

Backward, Turn Backward, Oh Time in Your Flight.

Monticello Democrat. „ B.

The Grand Babylon Hotel

(Copyright The Frank A. Munsey Co.) —-o ~x?;: CHAPTER 111. _ \At3A. M. Mr. Reginald Dimmoch proved himself, despite his extreme youth, to be a man of the world and of experience, and a practiced talker. Conversation between him and Nella Racksole seemed never to flag. They chattered about St. Petersburg and the ice on the Neva, and the tenor at the opera who had been exiled to Siberia, and the quality of Russian tea, and the sweetness of Russian champagne, and various other aspects of Muscovite existence. *

> Dimmock gave very meager information about his own movementstelther past or future. He regarded the youth as a typical hanger on of courts, and wondered how he had obtained his post of companion to Prince Aribert of Posen and who the Prince might be. The millionaire thought he had. once heard of Posen, but he wasn’t sure; he rather fancied it was one of those smal nondescript German states of which five-sixths of- the shbjects are palace officials and the rest charcoal burners or innkeepers. Until the meal was nearly over Rackgole said little—perhaps his thoughts were too busy with Jule’s wink to Mr. Dimmock —but when ices had been followed by coffee he decided that it might be as well, in the interests of the hotel, to discover something about his daughter’s friend. He never for an instant questioned her right to possess her own friends; he had always left her in the most amazing liberty, relying upon her to keep out of mischief, but, quite apart from the wink, he was struck by Nella’s attitude toward Mr. Dimmock, an attitude in which an amiable scorn was blended with an evident desire to propitiate and please. “Nella tells me, Mr. Dimmock, that you hold a confidential position with Prince Arlbert of Posen,” said Sacksole. “You will pardon an American’s Ignorance, but is Prince Arlbert a reigning prince?” “His highness is not a reigning prince nor ever likely to be,” answered Dimmock. “The grand ducal throne of Posen is occupied by his highness’ nephew, the Grand Duke Eugen.” “Nephew?” cried Nella with aston-

ishment. "Why not, dear lady?” ' “But Prince Aribert is surely very young?” “The Prince, by one of those vagaries of chance which sometime occur in the history of families, is precisely the same age as the Grand Duke. The late Grand Duke’s father was twice married. Hence this youthfulness on the part of an uncle.” “How”delicious to be the uncle of someone as old as yourself! But I suppose it is no fun for Prince Aribert. I suppose he has to be frightfully respectful add obedient and all that to his nephew.” “The Grand Duke and my serene master are like brothers. At present, of course. Prince Aribert is nominally heir"to the throne, but, as no doubt you are aware, the Grand Duke will shortly marry a relative of the Emperor’s, and should there be a family”—Mr. Dimmock stopped and shrugged his straight shoulders. . "The Grand Duke,” he went on, without finishing the last sentence, “would much prefer Prince Aribert to be his successor. He really doesn’t want to marry. Between ourselves, strictly between ourselves, he regards marriage as rather a bore. But, of course, being a German grand duke, he is bound to marry. He owes it to his country, to Posen.” . “For so discreet a person,” thought Racksoie, “you are fairly communicative.” Then he added aloud, “Shall we go out on the terrace?” ; As they crossed the dining room Jules stopped Mr. Dimmock and handed him a letter. "Just come, sir, by messenger,” said Jules. Nella dropped behind for a jjecond with her father.
