iavm.i:h of ohpihw himii: CLASH WITH ( OMHISMOSFIt. Herlou At'funnlioiM Aicninnt Kokonio'a Fire t hief I ninn City's jSniiill Hni . n w- of Indiana. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 6. There was a sharp ciash to-day between the County Commissioners and the lady board of managers of the Howard county Orphans' Home. Last week the commissioners voted to abandon the home and place the orphans in the White Institute, Wabash county. This action was taken against the wishes of the MUSS and to-day when the commissioners asked them to sign papers relinquishing control of the children they were met by a flat refusal. The women want a new home built here and are opposed to farming out the orphans. Mrs. A. F. Armstrong, who has been president of the board of control for twenty years, will sign uo papers for the transfer of the children and the commis sioners are in a dilemma. The present home is old, inadequate, out of date and unsanitary and the commissioners refused to appropriate money for a new edifice. The women to-day decided to visit the Whfte Institute and inspect the place. A thorough study of the institution may result in their withdrawing their objections and consenting to the removal of the orphans, but this is imt at all certain. The managers are against sending the little ones away under any consideration. They ask an appropriation of 18,000 to erect a new Howard county Orphans' Home. - m KOKOMO S FIRK CHIEF ACt I SKI).

Spectal tu the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 6. Owing to the ab sence of one member, the gas meter ordi nance did not pass over the mayor's veto last night. Six of the ten councilmen are in favor of the meter under existing conditions and at the next regular meeting, two weeks hence, the ordinance will be adopted despite the mayor's veto. There is much feeling against the mayor by the councilmen favorina the ordinance, and he is charged with insincerity and playing to the galleries in opposing the meter. Ex-Mayor Armstrong was present at the session and boldly charged bribery and corruption. He opposes the meters and accused the Council of being tools of tne, gas company.

The gas company threatens to cut off Kokomo entirely if the meters are rejected and to sell its gas to Logansport, which is within two miles of the abandoned Chicago pipe line. It is up to Kokomo to say whether it is gas and meter or no gas. The majority of Kokumo's consumers prefer the meter and u i As a compromise the company agreed to a maximum rate of $1 per consumer per month, the original figure being $2 per month. The company has confidence in the Snal passage of the ordinance and the meters are already here and being installed in the houses of patrons. e BROOM CORN MARKET. Situation I nuaunlly Strong; in Central Illinois. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PARIS, 111., Oct. 6. Tho broom corn situation remains unusually strong in the central Illinois district for this season of the year, and is attributable to the shortness of the crop and especially the small proportion of hurl or line corn necessary to finish brooms. A large quantity of corn has chang-ed hands in the past week, being bought by the brokers and speculators. The latter class of buyers are forcing the brokers to go over $100 per ton for the brush, as the brokers have to have It to fill their orders. No crops have yet sold for more than $115 per ton, but there is no indicetfeo whatever of the market weakening and the price predicted a few days ago, $12-" per ton. may be reached before long. Reports from Kansas and other Southwestern broom corn quarters are to the effect that speculators entered the field there attd the growers were benefited by the competitive bidding, receiving as much as $11" for their crops in some instances, this being unusually high for Southwestern broom corn. Almost all of the Illinois crop is in the sheds and, in fact, hardly a single field of brush is left standing. Hig- Yield of Popcorn. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PARIS, UL, Oct. 6. A. L.

Oct. 6.-Henry Graybrook to-day filed suit in the Circuit Court against the Kentucky and Indiana Bridge Company and L S. Winstandley, trustee, for $1,500. The suit Is supplementary to an execution. About four years ago Graybrook secured a judgment against the company and an execution was issued for the collection of the judgment. The sheriff returned the execution unsatisfied for the reason that no property of the defendant was found in the State. It is alleged in the suit filed to-day that the company is the owner in fact of the tract of land on which the trestle approach to the bridge is built, although the title is in the name of I. S. Winstandley as trustee, having been transferred to him a number of years ago. It is alleged that the land was bought with funds of the company. Col. C. L. Jewett is attorney for Graybrook. Among others who have judgments against the company are County Auditor Thomas Hanlon. who holds one for $2,500 for services rendered, and City Clerk Eugene Brisby for $5,000.

APPOINT COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE COLORADO TROIBLE. W. II. Moatisomery, Labor Commissioner of That State. Before Miners' Board. W. IL Montgomery, State labor commissioner of Colorado, appeared before the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America, which is in session at the Occidental Motel, to discuss the situation among the mine workers of District 15, embracing Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Utaii. The miners in those regions have been on the verge of a strike for the past few ,-"eks and are only awaiting a decision from the executive board to leave the mines. The board discussed the conditions in the morning and In the afternoon an audience was held with Mr. Montgomery, wlro came especially to confer with Mr. Mitchell. It was finally decided by the board to authorize John Mitchell to appoint i committee to investigate the' trouble and -then report back to the executive board lbs matter stands thus and there is not, much probability of the strike betöre the Committee makes its report at least. ; About tw thousand coal miners in District 15 are? ready and willing to go on strike, because of the refusal of the operators to grant their demands. They ask that the mines be better ventilated and the wages increased and the hours of labor shortened. Mr. Mentgomery said last night: "The demands of the miners are just. The 'nines are badly ventilated and th scale ot; wages in the West has not advanced in ihe same ratio as the miners' wages in the East. Things look pretty bad at present, but I am in hopes that the strike will; be averted. There is already one strike among the miners in Colorado and 1.200 of the State militia are at Cripple Creek. I dj not think a strike is advisable at this tim- for the reason that it would not tie up all trattic and would not accomplish all t! at is intended that it should. There are many nonunion men in the region and consequently the strike would not be totally effective. On the other hand, however, tSere Is a great demand for miners in Colorado on account of the inereasing output of the mines. Within the last year Ciere has been an increase of 40 per cent, lit the output, although the number of the mines has not increased. Another thing that would make it impossible to carry oh a binding strike is the fact that a good deal of the mining is now being done by machinery. It is impossible to say as to the outcome of the situatiem, but it is hoped that the strike can be avoided." Most of 'he time of the session of the executive hoard of the mine workers was devoted to. the Colorado question yes; rday. A nhmber of other routine affairs were transacted. The board expects to finish up all 'business by to-morrow if possible. INCONSISTENCY POINTED OUT. The nttSÖ Leaane Report Rejects Hits-and Indorses Watson. One of the diverting features of the "report" of thi Citizens' League, in the minds of many citizens who are not members of the league,1 is its inconsistency. This point has been more generally commented on than any other. The league speaks coraplimentarlly of George Hitz, the Prohibition candidate for mayor, but says he will not do because ho stands no chance of election. In its next breath the league rejects both the Repubhcan and Democratic candidates for police judge, and indorses B. F. Watson, the Prohibition candidate. To the unprejudiced observer it would appear that -Mr. Watson stands even less chance of election than does Mr. Hits, as there is nc- especial fight on the race for police judg. and nothing Is lead partisans to reject tifie candidates of their respective parties. If Mr. Hits is rejected by the league because there is not even a remote possibility f his election, many voters ask why does rtot the league reject Mr. Watson for the saine reason? The league also recommends Prohibition candidates for Council in waros In which the candidates have absolutely lis chance of election. Another anquiry raised is, whv did t heleague ignore the candidacy of Dr. Jame Carter for mayor? Dr. Carter is a candidatehas f-led his petition to have- his name on the ballot.

Fr nearly twenty years I worked to this end. At last, la Germany, my search was rewarded. I found a costly chemical that did not disappoint me as other Rheumatic preacriptioaa had disappointed physicians everywhere. I do not mean that Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure can turn bony joints Into fleali again. That in impossible. But it will drive from the blood the poison thst causes pain and swelling, and then that is the end of Rheumatism I know this so well that I will furnish for a full month my Rheumatic Cure on trial. I cannot cure all casee within a month It would be unreasonable to expect that But most cases will yield within thirty Cays. This trial treatment will convince you that Dr. Sheops Rheumatic Cure Is a power against Rheumatism a potent force against disease that Is irresistible. My ofTer is made to convince you of tnj faith. My faith Is but the outcome of experienceof at tual knowledge. I know what it can do. And I know this so well that I will furnish my r- medy on trial. Simply write ire a postal for my book oa Rheumatism. ' will then arrange with a druggist in your vicinity so that you can secure six bottlers of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure to make the test. You may take it a full mouth on trial, if It succeeds the cost to you is J5.S0. If it falla the loss is mine and mine alone. It will be left entirely to you. I mean that exactly. If you say the trial is not satisfactory I don't expect a ieiiuy from you. I have no samples. Any nu re sample that can affect chronic Rheumatism must be drugged to the verge of danger. 1 use no such drugs for it is dangerous to take them. You must get the disease out of the blood. My remedy does that even in the most difficult, obstinate cases. It has cured the oldest cases that I ever met, and in all of my experience, iu all of my 20 tests. I never found another remedy that would cure one chronic case in ten. Write me and I will send you the book. Trv mv remedv for a month, for it can't harm you anyway. If it fails the loss la mine.
