Paris Daugherty Buys a $30,000 Ranch in Wyoming.

AJbout ten years ago Paris Daugherty and. wife went to Wyoming. That they have been prospering may be judged by the following item taken from The Basin Republican, published at Basin, Big Horn county, Wyoming. It reads: “J. K. McCUung, executor of the estate of Jacob Hunsinger, deceased, on Wednesday sold the Hunsinger ranch on Canyon creek to Paris Daugherty, the consideration being $30,000/ This ranch comprises over 800 acres and controls a large range also. This is no doubt one of the largest real estate deals consummated here for some time. Mr. Daugherty has dived on the ranch for several years and it will be pleasing news to the many friends of the family that they have purchased the property and wild remain with us. Mr. Daugherty is one of the leading stock men of the country and thoroughly believes in growing enough hay to feed his stock through the winter, which in a great measure accounts for his success in the business.”

Indiana is “broke” under democratic rule. Indiana needs more tariff and less taxes. Democracy raised the state tax llevy 6.75 cents. During 1913 the democratic state administration spent $1,648,716.41 more than was spent during the dosing year of the last republican administration. That’s why your taxes are so high. The last legislative .session under republican rule, that of 1907, cost $130,024.87; the legislative session of 1913, under democratic rule, cost $162,507.67, an increase of $32,482.80, or 25 per cent more Another reason Why your taxes are so high. . During eight years off, republican rule the Indiana state debt was decreased $3,194,452. During the first year of Ralston’s administration the state debt was Increased $210,000, and during the past few months the democratic administration has borrowed $600,000 from Chicago 'bankers. During the last year of the last republican state administration the office of state gas inspector cost $4,273.92; last year, under democratic rule, this same office cost SB,656.18, an increase of 102 per cent. This is but one of the many reasons why your 'taxes are so high under democratic rule. During th elast year of the last ■republican state administration the office of auditor of state cost $58,941.44; last year, under democratic rule, this same office cost $72,602.32, an Increase of $13,660.88, or an increase of 23 per cent. Tlida is another reason why your taxes are so high under democratic rule.

GYMNASIUM PLANS ARE MADE PUBLIC

Fine Building To Replace One Destroyed By Pu& lished For First Tima After practically two months of painful waiting for the permission of the superiors of the Precious Blood 'Society to contract the necessary debts to obtain the funds for rebuilding, and after many weeks of deliberation as to the proper kind of building to erect, the college authorities are happy to announce that a new building will be erected on the north side campus, which, to many respects will 'be superior to 'the old and contain many new features. The style of the new building ■ will be somewhat in keeping with that of the other buildings but at she same tame a departure in so far as the roof will be a flat one. The buiildinjg wiiffl be off fire-proof construction throughout, all floors to be cement and steel. The front, which will face the Ridge road, will be off dark red brick trimmed with Bedford stone and cream colored brick. The total 1 length will be 190 feet, with an average depth of 70 feet There will be a main center portion and 'two wings, the wings to be separated from the center, portion by two entrances and accompanying corridors running the entire width off the /building. There will be 'three stories and a basement. The basement is to be 12 feet hiigh ahd each of the floors 14 feet.

Oonsideniing the center portion first. The basement will contain a gymnasium running up two stories, 20 feet in clear, and 80x50. The gymnasium is flanked on the easf side by a room for a double bowling alley., The space over this alley -and the main corridors of the first floor are so arranged as to serve the purpose off galleries from which spectators may view the games on the floor below. Above the gymnasium proper there will be an auditorium or theatre 26 feet high, containing a stage 70x20 with prosenium opening 30 feet wide. The stage entrances will be from the north corridor and the auditorium entrances from the south corridors. The main auditorium floor will be or cement finish and will seat 480 persons; a gallery above will seat about 200 more. Both the gymnasium* and the auditorium willl receive floods off light from the east and west sides.

In the north wing the basement will contain a special ‘'gym” apparatus room 20 feet high in the clear and covering a space of about 2400 square feet The remaining floor space will be given over to storage purposes. On the first floor will be the club rooms tor senioT (students. On’ the second floor the entire muisic department, rooms for pianos, organs, library, orchestra and band. The third floor will be divided Into three large rooms for library and reading purposes.

The entire fourth floor will be devoted to science, a chemical (laboratory, private laboratory, store room and lecture hall calculated to take care of sixty students at one time. Owing to lack of sufficient fluids it will be impossible to complete the building at the present time. The north wing will be omitted until some future time. The music department senior club rooms and gym apparatus room will be placed in the south wing temporarily In the rooms intended for biology, game room, and swimming pool. Work will be begun about July Ist if plans carry. It Is believed that this building, when completed, will be one of the best devoted to the purpose in the state. AM the laws of the states otf Ohio, Indiana and Illinois regarding school buildings, auditoriums, etc., will be practically complied with. The Insurance carried by the college on the old buddings, amounting to slightly more than 125,100, has all been paid. It was carried by the Pennsylvania Insurance 00., the Fireman’s of Newark, and the Connecticut, of Hartford, all in the Steward agency of Rensselaer. The college will close Wednesday morning, June 17th with a solemn high mass in the college chapeL Owing to the fact that the college has no auditorium nor Stage fixtures at present, the usual annual commencement drama will not be given. In Its Stead there will be an oratory contest, In all prober

The printer gave the name off Leiws Stevens. He came to Kentkind several week® ago in response to am advertisement for a printer. He later told his employer that he had a piece of property in Texas Which be wanted to sell amd he presumably went there and in due time returned with a cashier’s check for $635. Mr. Steinbach endorsed the check at the bank and later accompanied Stevens to Chicago to buy an aulbomoibile. Stevens picked out a second-hand Ford, paid $25 on it and informed his employer that he would drive it through. Steinbach returned on the train, hut the printer never arrived. Later word was received from Texas that the cheek was a forgery. It was also learned that Stevens had not purchased the auto but had .forfeited the $25 deposit. Stevens had left SIOO in the Kentland 'bank, and Editor Steinbach may recover this amount, but will ibe out over SSOO. Newspaper publishers all over the country •should be on the lookout for this swindler.

Kentland News From the Newton County Enterprise.

Dr. D. C. Darroch, off Fredericksburg, Texas., was a guest off his brother, Judge Darrodh and family during the week. Dr. Darroch was located at Morocco prior to 1880. Dr. Walter Shafer, of Lafayette former republican county chairman off this county, was in attendance at the Brook convention. Dr. Shaffer was a progressive two years ago but has come home and say® he has had enough. A party of some twenty from this place spent Sunday on the Kankakee. During a row down the river a boat overturned and Barry Osborne came near drowning. The heroic efforts off those near him succeeded in saving his life Mrs. Ed Mcssman has hatched out with hens and incubators over 1,100 chicks, besides quite a number of gease and ducks. A few of the dh fecks have been killed in various ways, but she can count over a thousand at this time. Mrs. Messman has much better success hatching with incubators than with hens. A new grain buying firm has been organized at Wolcott. It filed articles of incorporation last Friday under the name off The Farmer's Cooperative Company and is capitalized at $20,000. The directors are C. D. Dawson, J. R, Nelson and E. G. McCollum. Mrs. F. M. Ross is attending the national biennial convention of woman’s clubs in session in Ohlca go for ten days.. Mrs. Ross is a delegate from the tenth Indiana district and was elected a representative as a compliment for two years’ faithful service she has given as district chairman. A monster crowd was in last evening to the 'band concert. Allen Kenoyer made a count of automobiles, to satisfy his pwn curiosity* and the machines standing banked around the band stand numbered 114. He took no notice of machines on the move or beyond the main street, and neither did he count the string of buggies that circled Court Bark. War may be classed as hell, but the automobile is heller. Two were killed and sixteen injured in Chicago Sunday. If every big city had contributed a like number, with a sprinkling of 'accidents throughout the country, the list off dead and injured would have exceeded a big battle. And new oars are being turned out at a rate off about one a second.
