at Portland Thursday is one that is apt to create consterna tion among township trustees all over the State.i In his opinion he held: First qiat a township trustee had no right to charge his township with carfare or any other expenses in

of tru-tees second, that a trustee has no right to make purchases of reading circle books: third, that a township trustee has no right to charge his town' ship with ottice tent, and fourth

SlWbiie the one ruling relating to reading circle books is of

terest enough, the one in reference to charging the township treasury with carfare and expenses to State meetings is doubtless of more interest. Thisruling is one that might be brought into force against all public officials who have been in the habit o»f of attending offical organizations and charging the cost to the public treasury. The county and municipal officers of the State have organizations which are attended aLt the expense of constituents.

V^or example the municipal officers have what is known as the Indiana Municipal League and city and town officers all over the State have been attending them annually without personal expense.

It is four feet high, thirty inches wide and four feet and three inches long roll top, six drawers, twelve pigeon holes, apartments for blank books, holders for letters, stamps, pens, pencils, etc large closet for books and stationery, all under automatic lock—an elegant piece oi furniture built on the latest plans.

This desk will be given away, absolutely without any price, to some society in Haucock county on the first day of March, and it is up to you to name the recipient by voting the coupons that will appear in every issue of the Star until February 28. Fill out the blank and be sure and sign your name, bring or mail the ballots to this office, State and South streets, and they will be counted 'and credited to the proper place and published.

This is no money-making scheme on the part of the mana gers of this paper, for there is no pay attached to it in any wa}'. All that is necessary to vote is that the ballot is cut out of the Eveniag Star. The present is here in the office and you are invited to call and inspect it and see how correctly we have described this beautiful and necessary piece of furniture.'

Pleasant Trip of aNew Palestine Party.

A party ©f a dozen or more Hancock people who left New Palestine last week for a trip through Texas has returned, and Mrs. Robert Branson, who was one the party, has the following to say of their trip: "We took Big Four train Tuesday, leaving Indianapolis at 2 o'clock. I was surprised to see such broken country in State, as I noticed in the south part of Indiana. 'We arrived at St. Louis at 6 o'clock, Tuesday, the 20th, At Denieon, Ark., we crossed the Red River into Indian Ty. That is a desolate looking place. We6aw a few Indians and arrived atj Dallas at 6 o'clock, stopped off at the hotel, found everybody sociable and friendly. We got breakfast, and then took the Santa Fe train for Rich man, Texas. Dallas is the largest city in Texas. Red river is the border line. "The soil is of an orange color and the water is of the same color also. Texas river banks are of solid rock. "Wednesday morning the fog was so great we could see scarcely anything until about 8 clock, when the sun came out and it was a beautiful day. During the night it rained, and as the train stopped at a pumping station we could hear the queerest noises. Some of the party said it was wildcats, but, my guess, would be frogs of some kind. "Winster is the the pine forest region. We noticed a saw mill and wood machine where they probably had a thousand cords of wood. "In Texas we saw pretty good cattle, and some as poor and long-horned, as were ever seen in Indiana. The grass in Texas is about three feet tall. Great deal of it is stacked. The grass is called Johnson grass. They mostly raise oats and cotton. They were going over their second crop of cotton, and it is a sight to see them. We arrived at Richman Friday morning, telephoned for the colored drivers, and drove to the hotel. "We were in Richman three days. Produce is worth about the same is it is in Indiana, and and they sell their goods about the same as in this State.

We saw nothing but oattle and ponies—no hogs—but we had pork to eat. The climate is much warmer than Indiana. There oats is up and some of it so thick we could not see the ground, and little chickens were cheeping on all sides. Think! Flowers grow there the year round. The counrty we were through is creek bottom. "Richman is a nice city. It has about two thousand population. I saw Carrie Nation's

homestead. They say she was a Christian lady while living in Richman. They have a great monument in the court house yard, which gives the names of the great heroes of the big fight betweea the negroes and the whites of 'Richman. H. Frost, L. E. Gibson and E. L. Shamling are the names engraved on the monument. They lost their lives July 14, 18-10. It is very beautiful. We took -the Sants Fe car for Galveston Sunday at 11 o'clock". Went through sugar land. They were stripping cane and making sugar at the present time. In Galveston, great sea walls, 18 feet high and 24 feet thick, are being built of solid stone and cement. It's a pretty sight to see. Galveston is a great summer resort. Bathing in the Gulf of Mexico is a feature. We saw the schhool and home for ladies attending medical college.
