from the six charges in the Presbv
tery. Correspondence has been opened with Vice President McDoel, of the Monon road, in regard to extending that road to Jasper, and
he has made inquiries as to the amount of business in sight for a railroad if built, and the aid subscribed. His inquiries have been answered, and it is hoped something may be done. aWDr. Mason, the new Sunt, of
the Kvansville Hospital, took charge
oi llie position yesterday, Dr. Thomas retiring. Charley Sefrit, form '!y of the Washington Gazette, has been chosen for Steward of the hospital, and there will probably be several changes in other minor positions. It is firmly fixed as a prize of politics now. OaThe school trustees of Hint-
mgburg on Saturday opened the bids for building a new school house
lor the city, the Signal says the bids were as follows: E. Heidrich, $8,086; Ph. Partenheimer, $7,767; Conrad Schlesing, $8,619; M. Lorei, $7,480. As the limit for the building was $6,500, and all the bids exceeded that sum, the contract was not awarded, but will be further considered.
Loan Association. According to the calculations of the examiners of Phenix Loan Association it has been considerable of
a help in this county. Treasurer
McFall tells us that it has received
since the start of series "A" a total
of ll88.tl4.fS, up to June 30, 1897, and has taken care of it at an expense of only $1,888.37, or about one per cent. This shows a generally careful management.

eV According to Bradstreet's and Dun's commercial reports the "beautiful plumaged bird of Prosperity" shows about the same number number of failures each month under McKinley as occurred under the traitor Cleveland during the
years 1894 and '95, '96. Tis a
wonderful bird, but if this year's failures are any criterion its plumage baa been sadly smeared with de
pressing colors. There is no bright
silver or gold light upon its feathers, and cannot be till the painter treats them equally. Indiana Reformatory. The Courier is indebted to General 8upt. A. T. Hert, of the Indiana Reformatory, for a copy of the "Rules and Regulations," for 1897, of that experimental Institution. It is a book of 68 pages, including the Individual Record at the back of the book, and the rules seem to he fairly well devised to carry out
the purpose intended, but a little complex in eome particulars to be well comprehended by an ordinarily ignorant convict. The experiment of reforming this class of prisoners will be watched with a great deal of interest by all student of crimonolagy. In Pennsylvania it has not proven a success, although tried for many years, and in Massachusetts a large number of convicts turned out as reformed have turned in speedily at other prisons. How it will succeed in Indiana remains to be seen, but the Couhikk is fearful it will prove more expensive than profitable for the general good.
