The board of trustees of the Soldiers' Home met with the Tippecanoe County Commissioners to-day to consider the present method of conducting lunacy commissions, it has been the practice in the past for a justice of the peace and three physicians to go to the home, examine the alleged Insane veteran, declare him to be of unsound mind, and then send their bills to the County Commissioners.

May's face and part of his body wan a mass of cuts and bruises and he was partially unconscious when rescued. Vorhes weighs about 2U0 pounds and is a tighter, while May weighs less than 140. It has since developed that other reasons beside the threat of Vorhes that he would kill him on eight impelled May to leave town.

J. G. SHANKLIN DEAD m 0 m

WAS INDIANA'S FOREMOST DEMOCRATIC POLITICIAN FOR YEARS. Active in the Conaclla of Hla Party. Vigorous Writer and a Forceful Speaker. SUPPORTED MR. CLEVELAND THIN BECAME A WORSHIPER OF THE STRANGE NEBRASKA 4OD, Hla Body to Be Cremated and the Aabca Scattered Over the Gravea of Hla Parents. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANS VI LLE, Ind., Aug. 6. John Gilbert Shanklin died at his home in this city to-day. While long illness had depleted his vitality and death was considered by his family and attendants as only a matter of a short time, his demise was unexpected. Mr. Shanklin having expressed a wish to be cremated, his body will be taken to a crematory at Chicago. Mr. Shanklin had been in poor health for several years. Early in May last both asthmatic and heart troubles became pronounced. The funeral arrangements were completed to-night. The remains will be sent to Chicago Friday night and cremated. The ashes will be brought back here and scattered over the graves of the parents of Mr. Shanklin in Oak Hill Cemetery. The ashes of the late George Shanklin, brother of John Gilbert Shanklin, were disposed of in this way. Mrs. Harlan, sister of the deceased, is expected here from Washington city tomorrow. Many telegrams of condolence were received by the Shanklin family today, among them from William Jennings Bryau, George Fred Williams, United States Senator Beveridge, Clark Howell. Congressman James A. Hemenway and Gov. W. T. Durbln. Mr. Shanklin, who was perhaps the best known Democratic politician in Indiana, was born in Evansville May 3, 1541. He graduated at Kenyon College and took a course In the University of Heidelburg. Mr. Shanklin entered politics after he became editor of the Courier of this city, in the early seventies, and for twenty years he was a potent force In the councils of the party, not only in the State, but in the Nation. His supremacy as a leader and his wisdom as a man caused him to be chosen as national committeeman from Indiana in 1896. He held this position for four years, retiring in 1900, when there was a reversion of state leadership from the principles of William Jennings Bryan. As a politician he took an active part in campaigns and in advising the management of party policy. But, aside from this, he had small emoluments from his work. In 1878 he was elected secretary of state, serving two years while James Williams was Governor. He was a candidate a second time in 1880, but was defeated in the general landslide that overwhelmed the party in State and Nation when James A. Garheld was elected to the presidency. In his political career he was an ardent advocate and did much both by pen and speech to turn the tide toward Grover Cleveland In 1884, and again in 1892. After the campaign at the close of which the New Yorker was elected to the presidency by a large vote Mr. Shanklin and his friends endeavored to get from the newly elected Prisident some proper recognition of Mr. Shanklln's work, but without success. Mr. Cleveland, it was said, offered him a diplomatic appointment, but the smallnjess of the office was such that Mr. Shanklin felt he could not sacrifice his editorial work in Evansville and his abilities as well, for its reward. He refused the appointment. Afterward, it Is said, he was again offered an appointment, but the recognition again was a doubtful compliment, so he thought, and again he refused. It was after the second election of Mr. Cleveland that the Evansville editor seemed to turn his favor to other quarters. While he did not combat the policies or official position of the dominant man either through his paper or public speech, it was evident by his passive attitude in times when active party Workers of his stamp were busy both with pen and tongue, that he treasured a small degree of resentment for Cleveland. Whether Cleveland s slishti ing recognition of his ability and his work tended to decide him in this course, is not known. At any rate, early in the course of Mr. Cleveland's second term as President Mr. Shanklin cast about for new policies and a new man to follow. The disastrous times attending the New York man's second term turned his attention to free silver, and after mature deliberation he adopted he free sliver doctrine, of which William Jennings Bryan later became the exponent. As early as 1894 Mr. Shanklin. through the editorial columns of his paper, advocated the ratio of 16 to 1 for silver coinage, and when the sentiment showed itself universal In the predominating element of his party in 1895 he pushed the advocacy with vigor. As one of the early champions of free silver he became, when the Chicago convent 1 t i took its momentous step and nominated Bryan, one of Its foremost advocates for the campaign. Not only did ne conduct a strong campaign through his paper, but he spoke as well in public meetings throughout Indiana. His idol went down with the strong tide that put William McKinley into office, and for the time the principles of Bryan were scoffed, but Mr. Shanklin did not abate his fight for the principles for which the Nebraskan stood. He still continued his vigorous attitude in the editorial columns of his paper, and his position as national committeeman from the State lent a certain distinction to his otherwise trenchant articles and logical artioles. As a speaker he was recognized throughout the central States. He was not an orator, but he combined a deep fund of knowledge with a pleasing conversational tone in such a way as to interest and hold large audiences. His last public appearance in Evansville, or anywhere, was last September, when he introduced Benjamin F. Shively. of South Bend, to a. campaign audience. Even th'n his condition was very serious, and the traces of his disease were apparent in his enfeebled body and his nervous voice. PROF. FH ASK E. MILLII. Funeral of a Former ladlanian.
