The county commissioners met in regular session Monday, but not much was done the first day except allow claims, all of the recent general election expenses coming up this session of the board. Verlie Spencer, who has been at Kokomo for the past two .years, where he has been engaged a part of the time in the restaurant business, was here Friday. He expects to soon engage in the garage business in Kokomo.

Marshfield is in Coos county, Ore., and lies right on the Pacific coast. The land which Miss McCarthy expects to buy, we understand, is cut-over land, and is said to be fine for farming, gardening and fruit raising.

Therefore they played here again last night, at reduced prices, any seat in the house being but 25c. The Winamac Democrat-Journal says of Mr. and Mrs. Blanchard Elmore of Remington, whom, it seems are now in vaudeville work: “Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Elmore held the boards at the Isis theater on last Monday and Tuesday nights with their musical and play specialties, they especially delighted the audiences on the saxaphone and cornet, and in the accompanying play of the ‘Matinee Idol.’ Mr. Elmore equalled the great actors in his recitation as a Shakesperean character. Mrs. Elmore also sustained her part with charming simplicity and natural elegance.’’ ' . ’ Poultry Catalogues Now Ready.

are not under federal quarantine within this state, the owner making a written statement that the animals are free from disease and have not been exposed to disease. Special permits will be issued for any movement inside infected area. “Animals intended for purposes other than immediate slaughter when necessary to move them for purposes of obtaining food or shelter may be moved from quarantined areas by driving or shipping same after a permit has been issued by the state veterinarian or an authorized deputy after the animals have been examined and found free from any symptoms of disease, provided they are loaded in cars that have been cloaned and disinfected under state or federal supervision, and are loaded through pens or chutes that have been cleaned and disinfected under the same supervision. In all cases where movements of live stock within quarantined areas are permitted the owner assumes all responsibility for any damages that may accrue from the moving of and ex-

posing of other animals, as well as the risk of exposing the animals moved, as permits will only be Issued in cases of necessity of obtaining food dr shelter for the animals.” The following table shows the number of animals killed in the various affected counties and their appraised value: County Cattle Sheep Swine Appraisal St. Joseph 716 500 1,256 $49,998.48 Laporte .122 52 247 7,342.50 Clinton .. 23 ... 124 2,350.63 Cass ... 67 .. . no 4,104.88 Porter ..156 ... 83 10,080.30 Tippecan’ 32 .. . 83 2,729.03 Howard . 59 18 174 * 4,521.50 Jasper ... 24 1,883.45 Newton . 25 .. . 18 1,833.02 Lake ....349 ... 320 32,005.05 Davies . . 61 .. . 101 3,045.66 Knox ....221 ... 194 19,575.87 Whitley . . 16 .. . 86 1,419.00 Johnson . . 46 . ... 208 33,’219.46 Marion . . 2 .. . .35 465.00 Morgan . . 52 ... 115 3,464.00 Delaware 26 40 23 2,361.00 1,997 611 3,175 150,397.81 The state and federal governments are to share alike in meeting the expense of reimbursing the owners of the animals killed. The cost of burying the animals and disinfecting the premises falls entirely upon the federal government. This expense lias not been made known. When thirty-seven counties in Illinois, recently released from quarantine, wanted to sell live stock in the Indianapolis market. Dr. Nelson was compelled to refuse for the time being because of the congestion at the local stock yards. The local market, however, will be open to the Illinois live stock beginning tomorrow.

man of the deniocratic state central committee, Benard Korbly; the present mayor of the city, Joseph E. Bell, who is well known to be in close relation with the political organizations of county and state, and Mr. Ruckelshaus, who was at the time a member of the republican state central committee, and a man of ho small political influence.” •‘lt is the wise policy and the law of the state at this time that no man may receive pay for endeavoring to influence votes at an election,” “Lobbying is far more reprehensible than for a private citizen to receive pay for endeavoring to control the election or nomination of offlers." 'Such conduct (lobbying as described above) upon the part of socalled political lobbyists thwarts the very purposes of political parties and destroys their efficiency and all aims thereof, that are laudable or for the public good; destroys the confidence in the men who are elected to office on party tickets; destroys the confidence of members of political parties in their party and causes them to feel that it is not worth while to attempt to take part in their party affairs or take part in the affairs of government In any way.” “Very large sums of money were unlawfully drawn out of the treasury of the state during the session of the legislature of 1913, under the claim that it was due to persons who were called employes of the house and senate, respectively, and for other unlawful purposes.” “The evidence shows that recommendations for appointment of employes when made by Thomas Taggart and W. W. Spencer, that the applicants .wer regardless of whether thdß> was an opening or not.” “The evidence shows great liberality on the part of Senators Fleming and Curtis with the state’s money. They introduced various resolutions by which SBSO of the state’s money was unlawfully given to various employes in excess of the amount which the state, through its law, has fixed

as their salary. Every resolution so adopted was in the face of the statutory provision on the subject.” It will thus be seen that a member of the republican state committee is almost as guilty in this respect as Democratic State Chairman Korbly. We say almost as guilty, as Ruckleshaus would not, of course, have as much power to influence members of the legislature as a state chairman. The illegal employment of needless party workers as assistant this and assistant that, etc., has been practiced by both parties for years, although the democrats last year seem to have went every other legislature one better and then some. In fact, it was apparently as The Democrat charged at the time it was in session, the rottenest legislature that ever convened in the state. This investigation, while in the nature of a boomerang lor the state administration, it having been made at the earnest solicitation and petition of Governor Ralston, should have a very wholesome effect, and we may reasonably expect a little better record from the coming session than that of its notorious predecessor.
