STILL SEEKING A CLEW. Putnam County Officials Inventigntlng Denth of Mrs. Setrard. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCA8TLE. Ind., June ll.-The coroner, sheriff and prosecuting attorney are working steadily in the task of determining the murderer of Mrs. Henry Seward, and witnesses are before them every day. The husband of the woman has been before them many times. He has become exeedlngly careworn, but his friends say this is due to the awful death of his wife. It is now reported that the jnstrument used in the killing of Mrs. Seward was a big hammer or the back of a hatchet, and not the club that was found in a thicket near the railroad. The club had blood on it, with several hairs from the woman's head, and it was naturally believed to have been used in the job. It is said now that the wounds on her head, three in number, could not have been put there by a club, that the skin was cut rather than mashed, although the breaking of the bones was evidently done by a flat surface, as they were crushed over a considerable area. If the hammer or hatchet were used the club was cut afterwards and prepared for its part in the possible deception. Klrkendall'M Henring Postponed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON.

Crawfordsville (Ind.) Journal. The Indianapolis Sentinel, the State orga" of the Indiana Democracy, calls rural free delivery "political free delivery," and advocates putting it under the contract system. The Sentinel does not propose that mail be delivered at Indianapolis on the contract system and it would without doubt protest loudly against such a demoralizing innovation in the city postal service. The Sentinel proceeds on the presumption that anything is good enough for the farmers atul that it would be wise for the government to pay the men who deliver mail in the country on a starvation basis. I'nder the star route system there were men carrying the mails In Indiana at a salary of $100 a yar while some wealthy contractor collected twice that amount from th. government for the service, pocketed the surplus and compelled the unfortunate who did the work to stand all the penalties Inflicted for defects in the serviv . The people of the country had been congratulating themselves that the days of suc h procedure were over. But here comes one of the leading Democratic r. v - of Dm country with a declaration in favor of starvation wagt s for rural carriers and Inferior service for carriers of rural routes. It is fortunate that a declaration of the Democratic attitude toward rural free delivery has come at this time when no campaign is n. as it will ussist voters in in terpreting the Democratic platform declarations on the subject next year. It is a w. 1-known fart that the attitude of the Postofflce Department toward rural f n delivery under the last DatBOCTmilc administration was one of hostility and voters who want the service crippled will know how to bring this end about when it comes to voting next year.

D.. on May M, appeared this: "Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the funeral service, at St. Mark's Church in the Bouerie, Tenth street and Second avoiue. This brings up thoughts and speculations. For maiiv vears old St. Mark's was called "St. Mark's in the Bowt rv Th1 Dutch word is "bouwerij." meaning a farm, from "bouwer." a farmer; hence "bower" and "boor." or boer." Thus. we find that our sympathy for the Boers of South Africa rested upon the firm foundation of our Bowery, it is unusual to spell the word "Bouerie." as in the death notice, but there is nothing farfetched about It.

Brief Quotation from Sp-eechea Delivered In State of Washington. Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The able man who preys on his fellows Is a curse to the entire community. I do not like hardness of heart, but neither do I like softness of head. The greatest of all things in life is the chance of having a great work to do, and then doing it. This government is not and never will be the government either of a plutocracy or of a mob. In civil lif- th thoroughly nice, good Kman who is at home In his own parlor, and says how bail the world is. never did any good to any one. More and more we must strive to bring about the day when the succeasful rascal will be hounded down, as the unsuccessful rascal is. The appeal to the spirit of arrogant disregard of the rights of those less well off. or the appeal to the spirit of envy and hatred of those better off ither appeal la equally base snd equally unamerlcan. One of the least admirable qualities of any poojile is the quality sometimes shown by Bsttl we know quite well, who tend to deify mere smartness, as they call it. unn osnnaatiid by any sense of moral responsibility. I pity so man because he has to work. I pity with th pity that Is akin to contempt HhS niari who. in our country, doea not w rk. Buch a man has no true place la our civilisation, and I do not care from which end of the social s ale he comes. If the boy or girl If turned out from a home In which everything has been made soft, and faithful performance of irknorae. of difficult duty not taught, that child la turned out with the certainty that U wld be a curse to Itself and to all around It. and unable to do Its part in our American life I would preach to no man th do. trlne of the easy life. I would prent h to every man life of work for a worthy nd. the !lf of de. . n y. of square dealing, of honest behavior, in the family, among one's neicobors. to the State; and so I would preach to the Nation, not the course that Is easiest, but the course that Is the greatest.
