BONDSMEN WILL RESIST PAYMENT

Of Alleged Shortage Charged Against Late T. N. Jackson While He Was County Treasurer—

Employ Attorneys.

The men who were on the bond of the late Tremilious N. Jackson, while he was treasurer of Hancock county for two terms, or during 1905-6-7-8, will resist payment of the shortage of something over $800 charged against Mr. Jackson as treasurer, as shown by the figures compiled by the accountants sent out by the State Accounting Board to check up the books of the county officers.

The bondsmen of Mr. Jackson during his first term were Tremilious N. Jackson, Edward W. Felt, Elmer J. Binford, Francis G. Banker, Emery C. Elliott, Nathan C. Binford, William Toms, Christian M. Kirkpatrick, John H. Binford, Lorenzo E. McDonald, Geo. H. Cooper, James R. Boyd. The bondsmen during his last term were Tremilious N. Jackson, Geo. H. Cooper, Jas. R. Boyd, Nelson Bradley, Charles Barr, Wm. A. Hughes, representing all the banks of the city.

The bondsmen have employed Charles L. Tindall and William A. Hughes to fight their case in resisting payment of the alleged shortage, on the ground, in part, at least, that the person is dead in whose office and administration the shortage is alleged to have occurred, and that the State of Indiana has suffered his estate to be closed permanently without presenting the claim for payment, when the estate of the deceased was sufficient to pay the amount of the alleged •shortage.

The total amount of shortage charged against the first term of Mr. Jackson is $488.30, with credits of $223.04, leaving a balance to be accounted for of 8265.26.

The total amount charged against the second term is $63-1.89. with credits of $17.11. leaving a balance of $617.78 to be accounted for.

The specific charges are for the term beginning January 1. 1905. and ending December 31. 1906: Excess, per diem, Board of

There are five children remaining, two sons and three daughters. The family have the sympathy of every one in their afflictions and it is expressed on every hand.

The funeral was held on Sunday at 2 o'clock at the home, with Rev. Leslie J. Naftzger officiating, and directed by Frank Lynam, undertaker. Interment at Caldwell cemetery.

NEMESIS

How very few of us realize that whatever is coming to us is bound to catch up with us sooner or later, and we can't side-step it. There are laws that work for us and laws that work against us laws that lift us and those that drag us down, and nothing can change their purpose or thrust them a hair's breadth from their path. We can trifle with life and destiny, and perhaps with a certain degree of impunity for a certain period, but the time comes when we must assume our responsibilities when "the dancer must pay the fiddler.'' The mind, the soul's wings, is always in search of knowledge. Some of us are constantly wishing for more mind, but if we would only use what we have, how much happier we could make ourselves and others.

If we wish to know more of the Law, suppose we again read Emerson's Essay on "Compensation"— perhaps it will give us some insight as to which law we would rather ally ourselves. And then, we might study another law, which cannot be denied, cannot be cheated and can not be escaped—"As you sow, so shall you reap."

We make our world either beautiful or evil if' evil, then comes distress, trouble and sorrow of every kind. It is impossible to get away from our relationship with humanity. We are learning, slowly perhaps, but learn it we will, sooner or later, that we can not do a wrong to another without doing a greater wrong to ourselves.

If for no other reason, and there should be others, the instincts of self preservation should guard us against bringing about self-acting and inevitable penalties, and should guide us to the pathway of using every faculty of mind and soul aright,

In time, lawyers will learn that there are immutable laws beyond the power of man to supersede, and when they learn this, no amount of fees can induce them to endeavor to prove a man innocent when they know he is guilty. And the judges of our court will evolutionize, until they would as soon grasp a "live wire" as to try to oppose the vibratory tides of universal justice.

So many of us believe that complete satisfaction is found in material things that it is little wonder that we rush into innumerable devices by which we hope to enter into happiness. He who thirsts for wealth or fame, and subordinates all things to the achievement of the object, may think for a time, that he has found happiness. But before he is aware some misfortune breaks suddenly. He was a disobedient child in life's school, and must begin over again. If we think we know more than the Higher Law, Nemesis, Karma or whatever we may call it, and do not learn the lesson, then the experience will .be repeated and repeated, until we learn what the lesson contains for us. We are punished by our sins not for them. —M. M. A.

How Cold Affects the Kidneys.

Avoid taking cold if your Kianeys are sensitive. Cold congests the kidneys, throws too muchj work upon them, and weakens their action. Serious kidney trouble and even Bright's disease may result.

MARIE DRESSLER IN "TILLIES NIGHTMARE.

Shubert Murat, Indianapolis. Miss Marie Dressier in her latest success, "Tillie's Nightmare" begins an engagement of three nights and Saturday matinee at the ShubertMurat theater, Indianapolis Thursday evening, February 29th. "Tillie's Nightmare," which comes from Lew Fields' Herald Square theater, New York, has the distinction of having enjoyed the longest run of any musical show on Broadway since "The Girl Behind the Counter."

Miss Dressier has always been regarded as one of the cleverest comediennes of the American stage, and this vehicle, designated as "a mixture of mirth and melody," the book of which was written by Edgar Smith, and the music by A. Baldwin Sloane, is said to be extremely wrell suited to her peculiar talents. "Tillie's Nightmare" is described as one of the funniest of plays. It has many laugh-provoking situations, four score of pretty girls, and several elaborate scenes. Yet it has here and there a mark of pathos in the character of "Tillie Blobbs," the boarding house drudge, which lends the performance a genuine heart interest which distinguishes it from some of the musical plays of the time.

Mr. Fields has surrounded Miss Dressier with an excellent company including such favorites as Eleanor Kent, Ethel Fairbanks, Nelle De Grasse, May Howard, Lottie Uart, Alletta Bridgeford, Horace Newman, John Mayon, George Gorman, John E. Gorman, Jack Hallahan, Jack Kennedy, Frank Smiley, Gordon and Harper and Lew Fields' Dancing Dolls.

The Boy Knows You.

You may set it down as a fact that there isn't a 12 year old boy in the neighborhood who hasn't his opinion of you—and he wouldn't be slowr about expressing it, either, if a si ranger should ask him for it. Every man is always making character, whether he is doing anything else or not, Why not build character during 1912 that you may ever look back upon with pride.

WILL REBUILD FACTORY.

Furniture Company Will Rebuild At Cumberland.

The Roach-Brown Manufacturing Company, whose plant at Cumberland was destroyed by fire Thursday night, is making preparations to rebuild the factory as soon as possible. The factory manufactured kitchen furniture. It occupied a two-story frame building, and furnished employment to twentyfive men. The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is thought to have started in the finishing rooms. A. G. Brown, secretary treasurer of the company, estimates the loss at $18,000. Of this, he says, about onethird is covered by insurance.

"Home, Sweet Home."

Tt is one of the ironies of fate that the poet from whose pen has come the immortal lyric of the hearthstone was himself a roving outcast—a homeless wanderer. The world remembers the pathetic story of John Howard Payne. Broken in health and reduced in fortune, the poor American exile found himself in the throbbing heart of the great city of London. Between his publishers—who allowed him little— and his creditors—who came to see him often—the penniless poet was in sore straits. The Atlantic ocean separated him from kith and kin. He felt the acutest sense of isolation—the bitterest pangs of lonliness. Perhaps no solitude is more oppressive than the solitude of a great city the solitude which broods in the repellant looks of the unsympathetic multitudes. It is, as Lucian Knight has said, the heart's Sahara. Bereft of all other consolation, Payne seized the harp, and lightly he touched the strings. But not in vain. For the fire of inspiration was in the poet's soul and on the banks of the River Thames, from the aching heart of an humble exile, leaped the hearthstone melody of "Home, Sweet Home."

Miss Hilda Atherton entertained a number of girls at a house party at her home Saturday evening and Sunday. The event was a very successful and enjoyable one and the guests returned home Sunday evening, after having enjoyed a goose dinner. Among those present were Mrs. Jack Burnet, Miss Ellen Willis and Misses Helen Hand and Dorothy Hammer, all if Indianapolis.

Something About Cheese.

The English, the Germans, and the Norwegians are great consumers of cheese, but the people of Switzerland surpass them all. The cheese of Zermatt is so hard that one is obliged to scrape it off or to cut off chunks with a hatchet, and its use is considered most important on all ceremonious occasions. The rank of a Swiss family is determined by the age of its cheese, and the more affection or respect a guest inspires the harder is the cheese which is cut in his honor. It is said that there are families in Switzerland whose cheeses date from the first French revolution, and these are served only at baptisms, weddings and after funerals. The larder in every family is carefully guarded and the cheese, is named. Upon the birth of a new heir a cheese is made that takes the name given him or her, and that particular cheese is never under any circumstances cut until the boy or girl grows up and is married. On such occasions each of the guests takes a piece of cheese from the bridegroom ana the bride and drinks to their felicity, the cheese held aloft.—Harper's Weekly.
