THE UlSTlflS NEAR
Middle of March Will See Close of
Many Schools in the Coumty.
Some of the schools in Hancock county that only have about six months of school will soon begin to close. By the middle of March some of the schools will be through until next fall and by the last of the month a great many additional schools will be closed.
School teachers report that during the past few weeks the attendance throughout the county has been more irregular than at any time during the school year. The irregularity is due to the condition of the weather and to sickness. Some of the schools were forced to practically close for a few days when the eighteen inch snow was on the ground, and the attendance has been cut down generally because of the bad weather. A great deal of sickness among the school children is also reported from various parts of the county.
STEELE CLAIM CAUSES DELAY
Trustee in the Bankruptcy in Comstock
--McKee Matter Could Not Pay
Dividends Monday.
Hiram L. Thomas, trustee in bankruptcy in the Comstock-McKee matter, had hoped to settle' the proceedings Monday by payment of the dividends to the creditors, but the claim for 81.200 by Franklin Steele which had not been considered was presented and this will cause a delay.
The claim held by Mr. Steele is a note and through some means it was placed in the schedule of liabilities when the making of the dividend was entered into. Mr. Steele had a notice from the referee to call on Mr. Thomas and get his money. This was the first Mr. Thomas knew of the claim. This will necessitate a readjustment and will require a brief delay. The assets will pay 32,1-4 per cent without the Steele claim. This will reduce it to one per cent less.

In this way they get rid of some of their ready money and in some instances the taxes take all the ready money they have. .,
Most of the township assessors are going to be on their mettle this year, they say, and they are determined that all of the personal taxable property in their bailiwicks will be listed at its true value.

Largest Flood in Recent Years.
Blue River, Brandywine and Sugar Creek are up and doing and have been since Saturday morning when the rain began. The rivers are out of their banks in many places and higher than they have been in recent years. Much of the lowlands included in the river bottoms are covered with water which rose almost continuously until Monday night when it began to recede.
The branches and ditches were so swollen that persons driving along the highways' in numerous instances were compelled to drive several miles out of their way.
The heavy and continued downpour of rain together with the melting of the of the remainder of the recent snow, and ice are given as the cause of the flood.

Society Events.
William A. Rafferty gave a most interesting talk Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Clara Strickland, before the Hesperian Club and a number of invited guests, upon the subject of the Southern Indiana Reformitory for which he is state agent. This is the second time has appeared before this club and his talks are most interesting and educating. He gave many thrilling, pathetic and personal experiences in the capture of victims, and spoke very tenderly of wives, mothers and sweethearts in the separation from such loved one, which gave us a greater horror of the unseen future of our own boys and perhaps made each one of us feel a stronger inclination toward the culture of our children. Mr. Rafferty is not at his beginning here. He has appeared before Canadian societies previous to this and has been royally received and highly appreciated.
Mrs. Groff concluded the afternoon's work with an excellent paper on the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, after which Mrs. Strickland served a luncheon.
Miss Stella Gause gave a delightful studio musical Tuesday evening at the home of Wood L. Walker, on North Pennsylvania street. The program was given by her music pupils and the honored guests were the parents of the pupils. Miss Gause has a course of music study which is so interesting to her pupils that practicing becomes a pleasure to the child. This course of study makes real musicians, not mere machines. The parents who were present were surprised and delighted at the work given. Miss Clara Bristol, of Frankfort, delighted the company with vocal music. There were several double piano numbers. This showed great care in preparation. This was the third musical for this class, which is made up of the Mrs. N. S. Binford, Marjorie Binford, Lois Cooper, Virginia Cooper, Eloise Cooper, Marthena Walker, Lucile Downing, Lucile Bush, Harriett Strickland, Ruth Montgomery and Marjorie Barr. Refreshments were served, the members of the class assisted in serving.
Several of the friends and relatives of Mr. William Briney celebrated his fiftieth birthday Sunday at his home on North East street. Among those who were present were Mr. and Mrs. John Briney, Mr. and Mrs. Briney and Joseph Briney of rural route nine, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Briney and daughter of rural route three, Miss Carrie Burton of Cincinnati, and Mrs. George Morrison of Indianapolis.

Daily Reporter's Story of Insurance
Address Attracts Attention in
Business Circles.
Several weeks ago William A. Hughes, of this city, addressed the city school on "Insurance" and the Daily Reporter published the story at the time. "Rough Notes," published in Chicago and Indianapolis, devoted exclusively to insurance, uses the story for its front page article this week with an unique illustration, showing a row of students listening to the address. The "Rough Notes" article is headed "The School Listened and the Town Heard," and reads: "It

ance—but it was the whole town that read the first page, top-of-the-column, story of the talk which appeared in the Daily Reporter that evening. "This is the latest, the most dignified and one of the most extensive and profitable means of advertising that has appeared for some time. Mr. Hughes is a local fire insurance agent and adjuster and an insurance student. When he talks he has something to say, and what he says carries weight. The boys and girls know vastly more about insurance since Mr. Hughes' talk." "The Hartford Agent," publishd at Hartford, Conn., reproduces an advertisement prepared by Mr. Hughes and mechanically perfected by Mr. Harvey Stringer, foreman of the Daily Reporter office, and also commends Mr. Hughes' "red tag" advertisement with other novelties:
