At the examination of the McCoys last Monday it was shown by the evidence that at the time E. L. Hollingsworth severed his connection with the McCoy bank, April 1, 1895, that Tom’s overdraft was only about $4,000, while the elder McCoy’s overdraft was also small. The bank closed its doors on April 19, 1904, only 9 years and 18 days later, and then Tom’s overdraft had reached the enormous sum of over $152,000 and his father’s $82,000. It would seem from this that they ran behind over $25,000 per year during these nine years of “unparalleled republican prosperity.” If the “dear people” hadn’t been kind enough to furnish the sinews right along old Mac’s prosperity bubble would have busted of its own weight years ago.

Judge Edward F. Dunne, democrat, was elected mayor of Chicago last Tuesday over John Maynard Harlan, republican, by a plurality of 24,061, reversing a republican plurality of 109,431 given Roosevelt for president last fall, and increasing by nearly 17,000 votes the plurality of 7,679 which mayor Carter H. Harrison had over Grahme Stewart in the city election two years ago. The democrats also elected the city treasurer and clerk, the publicans only electing the city attorney. The new city council is republican, 38 to 31. Judge Dunne will take iiis office next Monday. The democrats were also successful in many other cities, reelecting mayors in St. Louis, Mo., and Springfield, 111., overthrowing republican rule in Kansas City, Kan., Leavenworth, Kan., and various cities in Montana. In Colorado there was a democratic landslide, Pueblo, Colorado Bprings and Leadville, normally republican, the democratic tickets were'successful, in the latter case the first time in twenty years. Elections were held in all the cities and towns of the state except Denver, and where party lines were drawn, the democrats won in almost every case, which shows that the recent stealing of the governorship of Colorado by the republicans is not endorsed by the people of that state. We would kindly call the attention of excounty clerk W. H. Coovnr, formerly a resident of this city but now of Colorado, to these facts, so thut the next time he writes a longwinded article to the Rensselaer Republican on ‘‘the situation in Colorado” he may not let partisan zeal so influence his pen as to grossly misrepresent the facts and the sentiment of the people of that state. A firm has been organized at Warsaw for the purpose of investigating the accounts of township trustees, on the percentage basis. That is, they to be paid £ of the amount recovered. They claim that five hundred of the trustees who went out of office January last, were grafters, and the evidence regarding some of their transactions was secured through secretly getting a bright young attorney into the offioe of R. Ryse, one of the Indianapolis supply dealers, as a clerk. Soarcely a county in the state is free from their system of graft it is claimed, the trustees paying Ryse thousands of dollars for supplies that were never furnished, or, if furnished, were bought at outrageous prices and a good fat rebate paid beok to the trustee.

Ryse has long been looked upon by some of the trustees of Jasper county as far from “straight,” yet he has been paid thousands of dollars by other trustees here for “supplies.” In the case of the Marion township trustee, when the latter’s bondsmen sought release from his bond after the breaking up of the McCoy bank, Ryse is alleged to have supplied or seoured the new bond for him, and we are told that one of Ryse’s solicitors has stated to different ones of the new trustees that Ryse did secure the said bond. The tax-payers of Marion and Barkley townships especially, in view of the charges now being made against Ryse, would be astonished to learn how much of their money has been paid this house during the past four years. The Warsaw firm have already secured a few contracts afftf have entered suit against a trustee in Wells county whom they allege has got away with several thousand dollars wrongfully in this way.

TAPEWORN IS THE THING

Consumptives Only Have to Cultivate One and It Eats the Tuberculosis Bacilli. Washington, April 7.—“ The tapeworm is -the natural enemy of the germ of consumption, and the latter cannot exist when the other is present,” says Consul Canada, at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in a report just received at the state department.

In so deciding the supreme court brought Joy to the hearts of more than 300 officers and ex-officers in the state. This act la known as the back salary law. It provides that instead of waiting for their salaries until the fees collected shall be sufficient to pay them, as was required by the fee and salary act, sheriffs and clerks shall receive their salaries In full as soon as they can prove to the board of commissioners, by the return of a fee bill, that payment of the coeta remaining uncollected cannot be enforced.

Llndeman, clerk of Perry county, although he had already received as salary an amount equal to all the fees collected. It was urg n d that the actof 1903 was In conflict with five sections of the state constitution; that the title was defective; that it attempted to amend the fee and salary law without setting out in full the revised law, and that is was spectlal legislation. u Increase la Salaries. The supreme court held that It was not open to any of these objections, because It did not change the compensation of the clerks and sheriffs, but merely modified the conditions of payment. Attorneys say that its practical effect will be to Increase the salaries of officers in more than half the counties of the state, because so many officers were before unable to comply with the conditions on which the law permitted them to draw their salaries In full.
